“Brother Lu, what do you think of this Spirit Field?”

Lu Xuan walked slowly inside the spacious courtyard, observing his surroundings closely.

A young cultivator with a scar on his face, at the Qi Cultivation First Level, trailed after him, steps matching his pace.

The young man leaned his body slightly and squeezed out a very enthusiastic smile.

“The master of this courtyard was a Middle-Stage Qi Practitioner. After venturing out for a while and not returning, it was mortgaged by his offspring, and our Tooth Row took it to rent.”

“Now, this Spirit Field in front is almost an acre in size, rich with spiritual energy. The location is next to the Loose Cultivation Market, with market guards on patrol, greatly boosting safety.”

“Furthermore, there is a chicken coop in the front which has been marked with dust removal, stability, and soundproofing runes by the previous owner. It is suitable for rearing Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds.”

“It indeed seems nice but I need some time to consider.”

Lu Xuan said indifferently.

Over these days, he had a few gaps in his schedule and had shown several Spirit Fields through Tooth Row.

The areas of these Spirit Fields were several times, or even tens of times larger than his current one. The spiritual energy was richer, and there were various conveniences.

In amongst them, there was one courtyard whose Spirit Field not only occupied more than an acre but also contained a Spiritual Spring!

This made Lu Xuan’s heart race. Yet, after asking about the rent, he was quickly brought back down to earth.

Among the Spirit Fields he viewed, even the cheapest required forty Spirit Stones per month in rent and the one with a Spiritual Spring required sixty Spirit Stones per month. Additionally, the rent was to be paid every six months at a time.

Nowadays, Lu Xuan, who had been poor for a long time, had nearly three hundred Spirit Stones. He was somewhat inflated inside.

Just now he realized that these Spirit Stones are completely insufficient when he truly needs them. He needs to save for a while longer.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan turned to the scarred Tooth Row member.

“I’ll go back and take it into consideration. If interested, I’ll contact you again.”

He turned around and left after saying that.

As Lu Xuan’s figure disappeared into distance, the scarred Tooth Row member couldn’t help but spit.

“What’s this? A small Loose Repair at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer is dreaming of renting this kind of Spirit Field, the sheer audacity!”

“Wasting my time!”

Lu Xuan slightly frowned. He had broken through to the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation a while ago, and his senses had gotten much more acute compared to before. He faintly heard the words of the scarred young cultivator.

He then smiled, not caring about Tooth Row’s attitude of respect at first and rudeness later. Just quietly adding him to the blacklist, vowing to never going to him to see Spirit Fields again.

“Ah, always feeling too poor before, I’d even begrudge feeding a Broken Spirit to the Grass Puppet.”

“Now that I have close to three hundred Spirit Stones, I can feed a Broken Spirit, no… two Broken Spirits to the Grass Puppet.”

“But why do I feel so poor?”

He had such a thought in his heart.

“I still need to work hard to earn Spirit Stones.”

Zhang Hong went back to the Wilderness Mystery a few days later after resting, and Zhang Xiu Yuan had already started his job in these few days.

The two continued their partnership. When Zhang Xiu Yuan found a Loose Repair that met the requirements and was plagued by pests, Lu Xuan would help solve the problem.

With frequent usage, his understanding of the Golden Sword Technique naturally became much deeper. He combined that with a clean and affordable pest removal, gaining a certain level of fame among the cultivators in the North District.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiu Yuan had to actively find customers, but now they come to him. Sometimes there are even lines.

On this day, Lu Xuan accepted five Spirit Stones and came out of a dilapidated courtyard under the continuous gratitude of a Cultivator.

“Friend Lu, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

A mild voice rang in his ears.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan looked around, and saw a fat and white cultivator standing around the corner, smiling at both Lu Xuan and Zhang Xiu Yuan.

“A coincidence my ass, the North District is so big, there is no way I was going to encounter him by chance, he was clearly waiting for me!”

Lu Xuan cursed inside, smiled and replied.

“It turns out to be friend Qin. It’s been a long time. Brother Qin, your cultivation level is becoming more profound. Truly the role model for us Loose Cultivators.”

“I dare not accept the honor. On the contrary, it is friend Lu who has surprised me quite a bit. I didn’t expect that a Loose Repair at the Second Layer of Qi Cultivation who needed my help to deal with pests a few months ago, has now grown to the point where he can easily handle pests by himself.”

Qin Ming exclaimed. He genuinely didn’t expect that the little Loose Repair who didn’t catch his eye would one day use a superb sword technique to become his competitor.

“It’s only a fluke. I am still far behind compared to you, Brother Qin.”

A look of reminisce flashed through Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“It all started from the time I encountered pests. After that incident, in order to avoid the Spirit Plants in my Spirit Field from being infested again, I made a painful decision to spend all my savings to purchase the Sword Technique.”

“After several months of intensive cultivation, combined with perhaps a hint of talent for the Sword Dao, today’s achievements were made.”

“However, due to my low cultivation level, I can only use the Sword Technique two or three times a day, which also leads to me earning such a trivial amount of Spirit Stones.”

Knowing that they have a conflict of interest, Lu Xuan had anticipated meeting other Cultivators who deal with pests, especially the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer cultivator, Qin Ming, who is considered the busiest in the North District.

He recounted the pre-prepared answers, showing that his cultivation level was low and he was only earning a few spirit stones, which wouldn’t grab much business from Qin Ming.

“So that’s the case.”

Qin Ming slightly nodded.

“However, now that friend Lu is still young, you should prioritize your cultivation and stay away from the pest problems.”

With a friendly smile on his face, Qin Ming looked straight at Lu Xuan, his words half advice and half threat.

“Thank you for your reminder, friend Qin. I have a clear idea of what to do.”

Lu Xuan’s response was calm. He pulled Zhang Xiu Yuan and left.

Walking along the way, he constantly felt a gaze on his back.

“There are so many Loose Cultivator’s in the North District. I have already shown weakness and indicated that I am only earning a small amount of Spirit Stones. Why is he still threatening me?”

He thought angrily to himself. He had already demonstrated his weakness, but Qin Ming continued to pursue relentlessly, stoking his ire.

Suddenly, he paused his steps, an idea flickered in his mind.

The more he thought, the worse it became. Lu Xuan decided to stop and pulled Zhang Xiu Yuan over.

“Little Yuan, Uncle Lu has a favor to ask.”

“Go to the home of one of your good friends who also suffered from pests and ask if they invited a Middle-Stage Qi Practitioner who is proficient in Ice System techniques.”

“If that’s the case, ask in detail how he dealt with the Black Bud Worm Larva after solving the pest problem.”

“You’re young, people won’t guard against you, and they will tell you detailed information. I will guard outside, you don’t have to worry about safety.”

Zhang Xiu Yuan looked at Lu Xuan’s serious expression. The sensible youngster knew the severity of the situation, he pursed his lips and nodded firmly.

The two arrived at the house of the Loose Cultivator mentioned by Zhang Xiu Yuan. Zhang Xiu Yuan shouted outside the courtyard, and under the invitation of a boy of the same age, he entered the courtyard.

Lu Xuan held a few charms in his hand, waiting quietly for him to come out.
