39: Chapter 39: Placing a High-Grade Spiritual Vein and Reselling Spiritual Rice

Li Luochen nodded and said, "It has been packed up, and we won't be going to the Underwater Cave anymore."

Zhou Xin was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked, "Then what about the Spiritual Vein in the Underwater Cave?"

Li Luochen took out a Spirit Extraction Talisman and said with a smile, "This is a Spirit Extraction Talisman; I have already extracted the Spiritual Vein from the Underwater Cave."

"As long as we find a suitable place, we can release the Spiritual Vein and let that place give birth to a Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein."

Zhou Xin asked in surprise, "Does this mean our Family's spirit fields are going to increase again?"

Li Luochen nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Although it will be a bit tough at the beginning, as long as we persist until the harvest, we can obtain a large number of Spirit Stones."

"However, I plan to place this Spiritual Vein on Youlong Island. Hidden Dragon Island is only so big and already has three Spiritual Veins, one of which is a Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein."

"Youlong Island only has three Rank 1 Low Grade Spiritual Veins, so placing another Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein there won't be a problem."

Zhou Xin shook her head and said, "Husband, you decide this matter yourself; I will not interfere."

After smiling, Li Luochen bid farewell to Zhou Xin, held his daughter, and flew towards Youlong Island.

On Youlong Island, Li Yanhu was stationed there. Now that he had broken through to Qi Refining Stage 7, it was more than enough for him to guard the three Rank 1 Low Grade Spiritual Veins.

At this moment, Li Yanhu was watering the spirit fields when he saw Li Luochen flying over on his sword, holding his little daughter in his arms.

He quickly stopped what he was doing and hurried out to welcome him.

"Greetings, Patriarch. You have come?"

Li Luochen smiled and said, "Yes, I brought a Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein this time, intending to place it on Youlong Island. Do you know of a suitable place?"

Li Yanhu hurriedly said, "During this time, besides tending to the spirit fields and Cultivating, I have already familiarized myself with the surrounding environment."

"There is a suitable place between these three Spiritual Veins; please come with me."

While speaking, he led Li Luochen towards the area between two of the Rank 1 Low Grade Spiritual Veins.

The area in between was very flat. If the Spiritual Vein were placed here, it would definitely be possible to open up over eight hundred mu of spirit fields.

Li Luochen was very satisfied with this place. He hadn't expected to find a spot between the three side-by-side Spiritual Veins, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"After I return, I will have the Changfeng couple and the Changqing couple bring people over to help you manage the Spiritual Veins here."

"Now your Family has twenty cultivators. Although there are two children who only started a few years ago, it is still possible to have nine people on each side."

"After all, if there is a Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein here, the spirit fields on both sides will be about the same."

Li Yanhu smiled and said, "It is better to wait until this year's harvest is over. I fear the spirit fields opened up by this Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein won't be able to be planted this year."

As soon as these words fell, Liu Xiaoling walked over and interjected, "Actually, if you want to plant something, you could grow Spirit Potatoes; it would be some income, at least."

Li Luochen nodded slightly and said, "That works too. Then let's plant Spirit Potatoes. Our Family should still have some that can be used as seeds."

While speaking, he had already put down Li Yanshu, and the Spirit Extraction Talisman appeared in his hand.

After choosing the spot, he directly channeled his magic power into the Spirit Extraction Talisman and struck it into the ground.

"Boom!"

The Spirit Extraction Talisman entered the soil and instantly shattered, and the Spiritual Vein dove directly underground.

This place was already within the range of the Spirit Gathering Array and the Spirit Locking Array. Li Luochen took out the Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talisman and began to open up the spirit fields.

After the spirit fields were opened up, Li Luochen handed the remaining Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talismans to Li Yanhu and returned with Li Yanshu.

After returning, he arranged for Li Yanlong to send the Spirit Potatoes over.

When Li Yanlong learned that the Li Family had gained another twenty mu of Rank 1 High Grade spirit fields, fifty mu of Rank 1 Medium Grade spirit fields, one hundred mu of Rank 1 Low Grade spirit fields, and three hundred mu of ordinary spirit fields, he could not help but be overjoyed.

The Li Family was already obtaining many Spirit Stones each year; if they had so many more spirit fields, wouldn't they really take off?

Although Li Yanlong had also broken through to Qi Refining Stage 7 and his own cultivation was not bad, the higher the cultivation, the more Cultivation resources were needed. The more resources the Family had, the better.

When Li Yanlong delivered the Spirit Potatoes to Youlong Island, Li Luochen arranged some Family matters and then headed to Qingsha Market at high speed.

At the Spirit Rice Workshop, Bai Qingkong had already Cultivated to the Qi Refining 10th Layer and was not far from the Perfection of the Qi Refining 10th Layer.

He was a bit confused as to why Li Luochen hadn't sent any Spirit Rice over in the past two years, which had caused his contribution points to decrease significantly.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Li Luochen walk in, and his eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoist, you have finally come."

Li Luochen cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have waited a long time. It's just that some accidents occurred; I have been recovering from injuries for the past two years."

At this moment, the aura on Li Luochen was still that of Qi Refining Level 9, with no change from two years ago.

Bai Qingkong carefully sized up Li Luochen, and after confirming he was not lying, asked, "Fellow Daoist, you were injured? Are you alright? Do you want me to go find Senior Martial Uncle and ask for a healing Medicinal Pill?"

Li Luochen shook his head and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai. I am fine now. This is the Spirit Rice I brought this time; please take a look, Fellow Daoist."

"Five thousand catties of Rank 1 High Grade Spirit Rice, fifteen thousand catties of Rank 1 Medium Grade Spirit Rice, one hundred thousand catties of Rank 1 Low Grade Spirit Rice, and one million catties of ordinary Spirit Rice."

"Two hundred stalks of sea soul grass, two hundred crystal flowers, and ninety water lingzhi."

"This is my Family's harvest from the past three years or so. Fellow Daoist Bai, please calculate how many Spirit Stones this is worth."

In reality, Li Luochen had understated it significantly. This time, he was prepared to sell fifteen thousand catties of Rank 1 High Grade Spirit Rice, seventy-five thousand catties of Rank 1 Medium Grade Spirit Rice, three hundred and fifty thousand catties of Rank 1 Low Grade Spirit Rice, and two million six hundred thousand catties of ordinary Spirit Rice.

This was just the Family's Spirit Rice; the increased yield was not included, as that belonged to Li Luochen himself.

Unfortunately, he did not dare to bring out so much Spirit Rice. If he did, Bai Qingkong would definitely develop thoughts of killing him to seize the treasure.

Bai Qingkong was shocked and asked, "There is actually Rank 1 High Grade Spirit Rice?"

Li Luochen sighed, "I obtained some Spirit Stones previously, and it was quite difficult to Cultivate that Rank 1 Medium Grade Spiritual Vein up to the next level. Sigh."

While speaking, a look of heartache flashed across his face.

Bai Qingkong nodded slightly, believing this explanation. After all, he had researched what kind of places Hidden Dragon Island and Youlong Island were.

It was impossible for a Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein to exist there; otherwise, it would have been developed by the Qingsha Sect long ago.

It was just that he also felt a bit of heartache; his original intention to rob Li Luochen after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage was now completely gone.

He was also clear about the difficulty of cultivating a Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein; the Spirit Stones consumed would definitely reach tens of thousands.

Therefore, Bai Qingkong said, "Five thousand catties of Rank 1 High Grade Spirit Rice are worth five thousand Spirit Stones, fifteen thousand catties of Rank 1 Medium Grade Spirit Rice are worth five thousand Spirit Stones, one hundred thousand Rank 1 Low Grade Spirit Rice are worth ten thousand Spirit Stones, and one million catties of ordinary Spirit Rice are worth ten thousand Spirit Stones."

"Ninety stalks of water lingzhi are worth four thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, and two hundred stalks each of sea soul grass and crystal flowers are worth twelve thousand Spirit Stones."

"All the resources combined total forty-six thousand five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Fellow Daoist, please calculate it yourself; is that correct?"

Forty-six thousand five hundred Spirit Stones was no small amount, and Bai Qingkong felt tempted again, but when he thought that this was the Li Family's income over three years, he couldn't help but shake his head.

By this calculation, the Li Family's annual income was over fifteen thousand Spirit Stones. If one added in the cost of Cultivation, saving a few thousand Spirit Stones a year would be considered a lot.

It would be better to let the Li Family continue to provide him with Spirit Rice and Spirit Medicine, so he could obtain more contribution points.

Although he already had enough contribution points to purchase a foundation establishment pill, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage also required resources for Cultivation, and most high-Rank resources could not be bought with Spirit Stones; they could only be traded with Sect contribution points.

Although the contribution points obtained from this Spirit Rice were a drop in the bucket for the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had selected more than just Li Luochen. By accumulating little by little, he could also obtain a large amount of contribution points.
