270: Spirit Field!

However, Xu Hua truly did not know what a Spirit Field was.

"Third Miss, may I ask what a Spirit Field is? And what is the difference between it and a Spirit Stone?" Xu Hua asked.

Nangong Qing slowly explained.

"It's normal that you don't know about Spirit Fields. A Spirit Field is a plot of land that produces Spirit Stones. For example, if my father grants me a Spirit Field, then I can mine some Spirit Stones from it. These Spirit Stones don't need to be handed over to the Family; they are private property."

"Of course, a Spirit Field doesn't necessarily yield Spirit Stones. If you're lucky, you can mine quite a few Spirit Stones."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hua's knowledge expanded.

Then Nangong Qing slowly continued.

"There are also Spirit Fields for sale on the market, but they require Spirit Stones to purchase. Sometimes, a purchased Spirit Field yields no Spirit Stones when mined, which results in a loss."

After learning this, Xu Hua felt it was like stone gambling. Isn't this just like stone gambling?

However, he was new here and had no savings, just some silver. Silver could circulate here; it wasn't completely worthless. It still had value. Here, silver notes could buy food, provisions, and medicinal herbs. But among the top powers and strong cultivators, it couldn't circulate.

Because silver notes were useless to them, they couldn't buy Spirit Stones or Spirit Fields, nor could they directly Cultivate.

Before long, Xu Hua and Nangong Qing arrived dozens of miles outside the city. Dozens of miles away, there was a magnificent building like a royal palace.

This was the Nangong Family.

It was the overlord of a county.

Inside, many powerful Auras emanated.

"Is this a Powerful Clan?!" Xu Hua was somewhat shocked.

Then Nangong Qing led Xu Hua inside.

Xu Hua felt the Auras of many strong cultivators. In this Nangong Family, there were at least dozens of Viscera Refining strong cultivators.

There were even strong cultivators who surpassed Viscera Refining.

At this moment, Xu Hua felt too weak, having only completed one Viscera Refining.

Thinking about his time in Wanshun County, he was the most terrifying existence there.

Coming here, he had become the weakest existence.

However, this was also normal. It was the most longed-for place in the hearts of tens of millions of people in Ying Tian Prefecture. This place controlled all kinds of resources, so naturally, there were many strong cultivators.

Nangong Qing led Xu Hua further inside.

Some people around still saw Nangong Qing arrive and bowed to greet her.

"Greetings, Third Miss."

Nangong Qing acknowledged them, then led Xu Hua towards the outside.

In the main hall.

A middle-aged man exuded an incredibly powerful oppressive Aura.

This person was Nangong Wentian, the current Family Head of the Nangong Family, an existence beyond Viscera Refining, who had already stepped into the Blood Exchange great realm, with unfathomable strength.

In front of Nangong Wentian, two people stood.

They were Nangong Family's number one Genius, NanGong Wuya, and Nangong Piaoxue.

NanGong Wuya and Nangong Piaoxue walked into the main hall and looked at their father, Nangong Wentian.

"Greetings, Father."

"Alright, the reason I called you all here today is because our Powerful Clan recently discovered three good Spirit Fields. Each of you three will get one."

At this point, Nangong Wentian took out three tokens, which were indeed Spirit Field tokens.

With this token, the Spirit Field truly belonged to you.

Of course, there were also barren Spirit Fields not monopolized by the three great Worldly Families. These could be privately mined, but they were very dangerous. These places often had Yao Beasts, comparable to Viscera Refining level, or even Blood Exchange.

Only the unmined Spirit Fields monopolized by Worldly Families were the safest.

NanGong Wuya frowned when he saw that Nangong Qing also had a share of the Spirit Field.

"Father, I currently need Spirit Fields, and one is probably not enough. I don't think it's necessary to give one to Nangong Qing. She doesn't benefit the Family at all and spends her days carousing. What right does she have to share a Spirit Field?"

Nangong Piaoxue also followed, saying, "Yes, Father, you are too good to her. She is becoming more and more arrogant and domineering in her actions. She is not qualified to own a Spirit Field."

Nangong Wentian slowly said, "Wuya, Piaoxue, no matter what, she is still your sister."

NanGong Wuya snorted coldly, "Father, I don't have such a sister."

Nangong Piaoxue also said, "Father, she is not qualified to be my sister."

Just then, an old woman with an extremely powerful Aura walked out from the side of the main hall.

Nangong Wentian looked at the old woman and immediately said, "Mother, why have you come?"

NanGong Wuya and Nangong Piaoxue immediately stepped forward, "Grandma."

The old woman looked at Nangong Wentian.

"Wentian, I came here because I heard you want to give the discovered Spirit Fields to Nangong Qing?"

"Yes, Mother."

The old woman shook her head, "No, she is not qualified to share a Spirit Field. The daughter of a brothel woman."

Nangong Wentian frowned upon hearing this, "Mother, no matter who her mother was, she is still my daughter. Besides, her mother is no longer with us."

"Enough, I don't want to hear this. There is no Spirit Field for her."

Nangong Wentian sighed, "Alright, Wuya, you take two. Piaoxue, you take one."

...Then everyone left.

Little did they know.

Nangong Qing had heard all the conversations inside from a spot outside.

Nangong Qing held back her tears, suppressing her emotions.

Xu Hua naturally heard it too.

It seems such situations exist everywhere, whether in small places or great Worldly Families.

Nangong Qing composed herself and still walked into the main hall with a smile.

"Greetings, Father. May I ask what you need me for?"

Nangong Wentian looked at his daughter and slowly said, "Nothing much. I heard you went to a distant place. Now the Family needs people, so don't wander around."

"Yes, Father, I know. I won't wander."

Nangong Qing said expressionlessly.

Just then, Nangong Wentian added, "How is your Cultivation? If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I will guide you."

"Father, that won't be necessary. My mother was a woman from a brothel. If I ask you for guidance, those people will gossip again, and Grandma probably won't be happy either, since Grandma hates me the most."

Nangong Qing said with a smile.

Nangong Wentian stood up upon hearing this. "Qing'er, I want to talk to you about the Spirit Field matter."

"Father, I'm fine. Don't worry, Father. I won't take the Spirit Fields the Family recently found. Just distribute them to them. I won't make things difficult for you. I already heard everything from outside just now."

Nangong Wentian sighed, "It's best if you think that way. Actually, Father wanted to give them to you, but there's nothing I can do. You also know your Grandma's personality. I will compensate you in the future. I have wronged you."

"What's there to wrong or not wrong? My mother was killed by your own hands. Saying these things is meaningless. Alright, Father, goodbye. Just send for me if anything happens."

Nangong Qing said this and turned to leave.

The moment she walked out, Nangong Qing desperately hoped the man above would call her to wait.

However, as she stepped out of the main hall, there was still no sound.

At this moment, her heart ached greatly.

Tears finally rolled down.

"Are you okay?" Xu Hua asked.

"I'm fine. One day, I will make everyone regret it." Nangong Qing smiled grimly.

(Second update! When the author finishes being busy, there will definitely be a massive update. I'm currently still out of town because some things happened that need to be dealt with. Indeed, due to the updates, all the readers have run off. Sigh, I'm very sorry. I hope the readers who are still reading this book will send some power. Thank you.)
