Chapter 82: Transaction with Shen Fang, Maid

“I have accumulated Spiritual Rice in my warehouse over the years; selling it can fetch a few hundred Spirit Stones.”

“Some Tier 1 Spirit Medicines in the Medicine Garden have also reached maturity; harvesting and selling them would be enough for a thousand Spirit Stones if I put them together.”

“Although I can’t produce three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, by piecing things together, I can get about half.”

Su Bai pointed casually at the Medicine Garden and Spiritual Field outside.

She calculated how many Spirit Stones she could get if she sold each item.

Hearing this, Shen Fang looked at Su Bai, who appeared like a young girl before her.

Her eyes couldn't help but well up.

The friendship of these years had not been in vain after all.

“I don’t need your Lü Family’s silkworm silk dividends; I just need you to return all these Spirit Stones to me in the future.”

Su Bai was very generous.

She was merely doing Shen Fang a favor.

Looking at Su Bai, Shen Fang reached out and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

“Haha, of course, I won’t let you suffer a loss.”

Although Su Bai didn’t have three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones,

she was willing to take out all her savings to help the Lü Family.

This deeply moved Shen Fang.

Moreover, fifteen hundred Spirit Stones was already a considerable amount.

Including the small amount of assistance from the Yang Family and the Spirit Stones the Lü Family had saved over the years,

the three Foundation Establishment Families, apart from the Xu Family, had already taken action.

Lu Ning and Shen Fang, as Qi Refining Stage – Late Phase Cultivators, would go to lend their support and make connections.

In helping establish the Xingluo Market, they would at least have put in effort, even if not merit.

Perhaps they wouldn't need too many Spirit Stones to open the shop.

And from today onwards, Su Bai had at least secured an even stronger friendship with the Lü Family.

It was just an investment of a few Spirit Stones; it wasn't a loss for Su Bai.

“No time to lose, let’s take the Spiritual Rice and Spirit Medicines.”

Su Bai smiled and walked towards her warehouse.

Opening the warehouse door, she saw several granaries piled inside, all containing Spiritual Rice accumulated over many years.

Su Bai was the only one who ate these things.

She used very little of it.

She had always cultivated them to maintain her image as a self-sufficient Spiritual Farmer.

Spiritual Rice was also not as expensive as Spirit Medicine.

Su Bai could earn more by selling Medicinal Pills when she lacked Spirit Stones.

Over time, she had accumulated all of it.

Today was a good day to deal with it.

Shen Fang looked at the full granaries, a little surprised.

“So much!”

Looking at the quantity of this Spiritual Rice, it was enough for an old Spiritual Farmer to cultivate for a lifetime.

Su Bai took out an empty Storage Pouch and, with a Spell, packed all the granaries into it.

Then she walked towards the Medicine Field.

Shen Fang followed behind Su Bai, her steps constantly shifting.

“Sister Su, aren’t you keeping some?”

Su Bai pointed to her Spiritual Field.

“It’s fine; those new Spiritual Rice are about to ripen. I’ll eat the new rice.”

“Oh…”

Arriving in the Medicine Field,

looking at the well-growing Spirit Medicines,

Su Bai patted her Storage Pouch.

A Medicinal Hoe flew out from it and, under Su Bai’s control, began to dig out one Spirit Medicine after another.

She didn't use a medicine box to store them.

She directly put the newly unearthed Spirit Medicines into the Storage Pouch that had just held the Spiritual Rice.

After the Medicinal Hoe had passed through the Medicine Field once,

the Medicine Field, which was originally full of various Spirit Medicines, now only had a few Tier 2 Spirit Medicines standing alone.

Su Bai handed the Storage Pouch to Shen Fang.

“After Spirit Medicines are unearthed, their medicinal properties won’t immediately dissipate. Since I don’t have that many medicine boxes, I can only use Spells to preserve their properties, but only for half a year.”

“If you want to sell them for a good price, it’s best to deal with them quickly.”

Shen Fang took the Storage Pouch.

She quickly expressed her gratitude.

“It’s nothing, nothing, just a small matter. My Family has many medicine boxes that can store Spirit Medicines. Thank you, Sister Su.”

Su Bai merely waved her hand at Shen Fang’s thanks.

After Shen Fang bid farewell to Su Bai, she hurried away.

Selling all these medicinal materials would take a lot of time.

The Xingluo Archipelago was three months’ flight from the nearest Leize Market.

Time could not be delayed.

After Shen Fang left, Su Bai looked at the Medicine Field that had been turned over.

She swiped her finger across the Storage Pouch, took out new Spirit Medicine seeds from it, and planted them.

Then she filled a bucket with water and dripped a drop of Creation Essence into it.

She used the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Technique to water the Medicine Field.

The newly planted seeds immediately began to sprout new shoots.

The matter of the Xingluo Market wouldn’t end so quickly.

They definitely had things to argue about.

As Cultivation Families, even Qi Refining Families, they had backing.

Therefore, the four Foundation Establishment Families on the Xingluo Archipelago might not be able to subdue the Cultivation Families on the coast in a short time.

Unless the Qingzhu Sword Sect were to intervene now.

But that was impossible.

After all, although the Xingluo Market matter was authorized by the Six Upper Sects to counterbalance Tianyun City,

the ostensible decision-maker was the Xu Family, where Xu Changge resided.

Only if the Cultivation Families on the coast were truly difficult to deal with,

causing Xu Changge’s plan to be hindered,

would the Qingzhu Sword Sect, upon learning of it, possibly discuss with the other Sects and directly send people over.

…

Ever since Su Bai helped Shen Fang,

Lü Hong frequently came to Su Bai’s place.

According to the little girl,

although Su Bai didn’t need a share of the Lü Family’s industry, nor did she need Lü Hong to be a personal maid, Su Bai was, after all, alone.

Managing the Spiritual Fields and Medicine Fields here at Haijiao Cliff also took a lot of time.

So, whenever Lü Hong had time, she would come to help.

As for the silkworm rearing at home, it was distributed among her younger siblings.

Originally, Su Bai intended to refuse.

She didn't like having people around her.

Although the things in her underground Immortal Cave had been cleaned up,

Su Bai still had some secrets.

But directly driving people away was clearly inconsistent with her previous conduct.

So she let Lü Hong help her manage the Spiritual Field as usual.

As for the Medicine Field, the little girl seemed to have developed a bit of a psychological shadow after being injured by a Spiritual Plant last time.

She wouldn't easily approach it before mastering Spells like the Small Gengjin Grass Cutting Art.

The Spiritual Rice had already matured.

It was time for harvest.

In the past, when Su Bai’s Realm was low, she would personally bend down and cut it with a sickle containing a bit of refined iron.

After cutting one row, just swinging the sickle would consume thirty to forty percent of her Spiritual Qi.

After harvesting all of it, she would be so tired that her back and waist would ache.

Now that Su Bai’s strength was sufficient, she naturally didn’t need to do this.

However, she now had Lü Hong by her side.

When the other party harvested the Spiritual Rice, it was a good opportunity to give some guidance.

“Inject Spiritual Qi into the sickle, then cut.”

Su Bai held a cup of tea in her hand.

She looked at the sweating Lü Hong.

A smile appeared on her face.

She too had once been so youthful and hardworking.

Lü Hong held a Medium Grade Magical Artifact-level sickle and continuously injected her Spiritual Qi.

Before long, she felt weak and somewhat exhausted.

Looking at this young person, Su Bai couldn't help but shake her head.

“Your body is too weak; it’s not even half as graceful as mine back then.”

Lü Hong was so tired at this point that she didn't care about her image, sitting down on the edge of the field, her body covered in mud.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“This work is no easier than raising Spiritual Silkworms.”

Hearing Lü Hong’s words, Su Bai merely nodded.

None of these crafts were easy.

Unless your cultivation was high.

Su Bai waved her hand.

“Small Gengjin Grass Cutting Art!”

The Spiritual Rice that had just exhausted Lü Hong to the point of only finishing half, was all cut neatly by this Spell.

Lü Hong stared blankly at the already harvested Spiritual Field.

Only Su Bai’s light words echoed in her ears.

“Still too green.”
