Chapter 5: The Fierce and Strong Man

In the normal market.

A spirit stone is worth ten catties of spirit rice.

One acre of spirit field can produce a thousand catties a year, so a thousand catties of spirit rice would require a hundred spirit stones.

Five acres of spirit field can produce five thousand catties per year, so five thousand catties of spirit rice would require five hundred spirit stones to buy.

With such exorbitant prices, only family disciples and sect disciples can afford to eat spirit rice every day.

For a spiritual plant farmer like He Song.

Even the spirit rice he grows himself, he can't afford to eat.

Of course, the reason he can't afford it is that he has become a spiritual plant farmer under the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, the Immortal Pavilion takes a seventy percent commission, it isn't because he grows it on his own spirit field.

If one were to grow spirit rice on their own spirit field.

The requirements are too many, and the current He Song simply can't afford it.

First, you need a piece of spirit land with abundant spirit qi.

Secondly, you need the power to defend against Evil Cultivators.

Apart from this, the danger of a spirit field outside the Immortal Pavilion also greatly increases, if you want to go it alone without sufficient cultivation base, you are likely to die miserably.

It's for these reasons that He Song chose to become a spiritual plant farmer under the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.

Although after becoming a spiritual plant farmer under the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, the Immortal Pavilion takes a high commission.

But the safety is unquestionable.

And it can also ensure that He Song will not be bullied for no reason within the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

Now he only needs to put on the clothes of a spiritual plant farmer under the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, and he becomes one of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion's own, he has a backing.

Planting the spirit rice seeds.

He Song thought for a while and changed into the clothes of the spiritual plant farmer again.

After scanning the spirit field and not finding any issues, He Song appeared on the main road and headed towards the interior of the Immortal Pavilion.

Becoming a spiritual plant farmer under the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.

He Song's identity immediately changes.

From being a humble Loose cultivator at the first-tier of Qi Refining.

To a spiritual plant farmer of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, under the governance of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

It may be just a change in status, but the effects are immediately apparent.

On the way home from the spirit field, familiar faces started to greet him friendlily.

He Song also followed his predecessor's style and responded one by one.

As He Song was about to open his door when he got home.

The door of the neighbor's house opened at this moment, and a robust, fierce-eyed young cultivator walked out.

At first, this man didn't take notice of He Song's presence.

But when he glanced at He Song inadvertently and found the clothing on He Song somewhat familiar, he finally looked up at He Song.

"I'm Lin Cong, I haven't seen you before, friend. Did you just move in recently?"

Seeing He Song in a uniform exclusive to the Immortal Pavilion's internal staff, Lin Cong looked a little surprised.

It seemed he did not expect to see this uniform here.

The uniform exclusive to the Immortal Pavilion's internal staff was not something everyone could wear.

In the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, it is best to avoid those wearing this uniform as far as possible.

Not for any other reason.

It's just that if something happens, the people from the Immortal Pavilion will definitely favor the other side.

At that time, even though nothing happened, it might still turn into a life-threatening incident.

So even though He Song's cultivation base is only at the first-tier of Qi Refining, Lin Cong did not underestimate him when he saw this.

"So it's Mr. Lin, I am He Song. I've been living here for almost a month, but I've been keeping a low profile and rarely go out, which might have made you feel strange."

Seeing the other party greet him, He Song naturally would not neglect him, he bowed slightly and returned a smile.

Lin Cong, robustly built and with eyes full of fierceness, his whole body muscular and the overwhelming spiritual pressure he exuded, made He Song feel a breath of murderous intent coming over his face as soon as he looked at him, making him hold his breath.

Quite the burly man.

Marvelled He Song in his heart.

"Looking at Mr. He's outfit, it seems like you're working inside the Immortal Pavilion?"

Seeing He Song stopped to respond to him, Lin Cong's face became amiable too. He inquired.

"I just joined the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion today. I'm a spiritual plant farmer under the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion."

He Song nodded at him.

Spiritual plant farmers under the jurisdiction of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion could indeed be regarded as internal personnel of the Immortal Pavilion. The cultivators of the Immortal Pavilion wouldn't make it difficult for them either.

However, compared to the likes of the Law Enforcement Team who wield the power of life and death over loose cultivators, they were of relatively low status.

"Oh? Congratulations, you're quite lucky, Mr. He."

Upon hearing this, Lin Cong congratulated him. The gaze he looked at He Song with immediately carried a trace of envy.

The Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion might not be big.

But it does have Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was dispatched from the Green Wall Immortal City.

And the Green Wall Immortal City was under the jurisdiction of the Golden Elixir Great Faction, the Thick Earth Sect.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator currently in charge at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was also a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect.

Thus, with one lead following another, He Song's integration into the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion under the jurisdiction of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion can be regarded as having the backing of the Golden Elixir Great Faction.

Although it isn't really of much practical use.

Pulling this name out, however, could intimidate quite a number of people.

A peripheral personnel of the Golden Elixir Great Faction.

Could any loose cultivator dare to offend him?

"You flatter me too much, Mr. Lin. I was just fortunate to become a spiritual plant farmer. I cannot compare to you."

He Song noticed the envy in Lin Cong's eyes and decided to practice the Spirit Rain and Spirit Arrow Skills, as well as join the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion as a spiritual plant farmer.

His approach is certainly much better than being a mere loose cultivator.

Lin Cong obviously wasn't someone easy to deal with, yet he still looked at him with envy after learning of his identity.

For a common loose cultivator, I'm afraid there's no hope of becoming a spiritual plant farmer, right?

He seemed to have some really good fortune in his previous life.

"Ah, you're too modest, Mr. He. As a loose cultivator, I can only collaborate with other cultivators to hunt demonic beasts and sell their corpses for spirit stones. Compared to Mr. He in the Immortal Pavilion, my line of work is extremely dangerous."

Shaking his head, the envy in Lin Cong's eyes gradually faded away. He seemed to have thought of something halfway through, checked the time, and continued speaking.

"I have urgent matters to attend to, I'll visit again next time. I must take my leave now."

After a slight bow towards He Song, Lin Cong didn't wait for a response and leapt away like a lightning bolt.

Watching Lin Cong's swiftly retreating figure.

He Song, who had initially intended to be modest with him, was left in surprise.

This Lin Cong.

He surely is a thrill seeker.

He must've earned quite a few spirit stones by teaming up with people to hunt demonic beasts.

However, the money earned likely went mostly towards enhancing himself.

Otherwise, Lin Cong's fierceness would not be so intense. His strength is obviously significantly stronger than the average cultivator.

But no matter how much Lin Cong earns, He Song remains completely uninterested.

Lin Cong did say one thing right.

Their profession is indeed too dangerous.

If they encounter a high-level demonic beast, they just need to run faster than their teammates.

The real fear is if someone in the team gets greedy or a more powerful cultivator targets them for their treasures.

When that time comes.

No matter how much spirit stones one earned, they would all profit someone else.
