After confirming the rental of the courtyard with the spiritual spring, they soon completed the handover.
The slightly chubby young cultivator did as he said and handled all the trivial matters for Lu Xuan, saving him a lot of time and energy.
Lu Xuan paid half a year’s rent, and more than half of the spirit stones in his hand were consumed, leaving only about one hundred and sixty.
Luckily, the Spirit Firefly Grass has gradually entered the maturity stage, and there are also fourteen Moon Erosion Fruits that were not sold before, so he is not too worried about a shortage of spirit stones for the time being.
The new yard was temporarily protected by the first grade protective array provided by the Tooth Row, the key Array Plate was given to Lu Xuan, and as long as Lu Xuan adjusted the array patterns on it, other cultivators would find it difficult to enter the courtyard.
The array could only be broken by brute force or a cultivator who is proficient in formations.
So, Lu Xuan decided to use this free and effective protective formation first, and when he had more resources, he would replace it with a formation of his own.
In the small courtyard where he used to live,
Lu Xuan looked at the spirit plants in the courtyard and felt somewhat reluctant to leave.
This small courtyard had accompanied him through many stages of his life, cultivating, living, raising spirit plants, each area left countless memorable scenes.
The spirit plants in the spirit field, from the initial Spirit Firefly Grass to the planting of two Moon Erosion Trees, and after the white light group appeared, a first grade Red Cloud Pine, a second-grade Sword Grass and a second-grade Dark Marrow Mushroom were added.
“Out with the old, in with the new,”
He composed his emotions and thought optimistically.
Moving was relatively simple, he didn’t have many clothes, and even lesser elixirs, charms, and magic artifacts, a single storage bag was more than enough.
But two problems were difficult to solve,
The first one was the spirit plants cultivated in the spirit field.
Spirit plants are living beings, and only dead objects can be stored in the storage bag. If forced in, their vitality would quickly diminish. Lu Xuan could only choose to dig up the spirit plants along with the spirit soil and move them to the new courtyard as quickly as possible.
Although this would also affect the spirit plants, with his understanding of the plants’ immediate states, he can quickly adjust and restore their condition.
In the spirit field, four more Spirit Firefly Grasses had matured, bringing Lu Xuan a total of one year’s worth of cultivation and one Earth Pulling Technique and Golden Sword Technique experience package each.
The remaining ten spirit plants were estimated to mature in a few days. Lu Xuan planned to harvest them immediately after they matured without taking them to the new spirit field.
As for the Red Cloud Pine, Sword Grass, and Dark Marrow Mushroom, they were small in size and valuable, Lu Xuan planned to dig up these three Spirit Plants and plant them in the new Spirit Field.
The two Moon Erosion Trees were too large and there was still a long time until their next maturation. Because they were not graded and took up a large area, Lu Xuan planned to give them to Zhang Xiu Yuan, the new spirit field would plant higher-grade spirit plants.
The other problem was how to deal with the small courtyard.
After all, he had just paid thirty spirit stones for rent, it would be a waste to simply give it up.
Yet, he didn’t have the energy to travel back and forth between two courtyards, he could only focus on the new one.
If the courtyard were managed by Zhang Hong’s wife, he worried that it would bring her trouble for no reason.
An Intermediate Stage Qi Cultivator had died in the courtyard, it was hard to believe this would end peacefully.
“I can only rent it out to other Loose Cultivators for a cheaper price.”
He looked for a few days in the Loose Cultivator Market and found a Qi Cultivation Second Layer cultivator to whom he sublet the courtyard for a monthly rent of four spirit stones and thirty broken spirits.
“Wasting spirit stones just like that, it hurts.”
Upon receiving the rent from the cultivator, Lu Xuan felt like he had cut out a piece of his flesh.
After properly dealing with the small courtyard, he went to the Zhang family before leaving to bid farewell to Xu Wan and Zhang Xiu Yuan.
“What? Little Uncle Lu, you’re moving?”
When Lu Xuan said he was about to move, Zhang Xiu Yuan’s face was full of shock and he grabbed Lu Xuan’s hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Xu Wan, who was at the side, also showed a hint of surprise. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she nodded understandingly.
“That’s true. However, where I live is not too far away from your home. You can visit me often when you’re free.”
Lu Xuan comforted her.
“It’s just that my previous plan to cooperate with you to deal with the pest problem has to be put aside for now.”
After the incident with Qin Ming, Lu Xuan’s idea of earning spirit stones by resolving the pest problem has faded a lot in his mind.
He always feels that the situation in the house is complicated and he doesn’t want to get involved again.
“Sister-in-law, I’ve rented out my yard, including the spirit field. There are two Moon Erosion Trees in there, which I do not plan to take with me. Go and transplant them over!”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s determined tone, Xu Wan, who originally thought of refusing, nodded in agreement.
“Little Brother Lu, your move seems rather hurried.”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. I mean, as you know, the outskirts of the North District are full of mixed people and it’s not very safe. After that incident at night some time ago, I’ve been thinking about moving.”
“Indeed, if our family had the means, we would also move to a more central area. Your relocation is, after all, a beneficial and harmless decision.”
Xu Wan agreed, completely concurring with Lu Xuan’s view.
Lu Xuan didn’t stay long. He brought fourteen Moon Erosion Fruits and ten Lingying grass and went to Bai Cao Tang.
“Kid Lu, you’re finally here. Put those spirit plants down and come with me to meet someone!”
As soon as he arrived at Bai Cao Tang, a thin old man grabbed Lu Xuan’s hand and led him in.
The room inside was lavishly decorated. The floor was covered with soft beast skin, and the tables and chairs were all made of spirit wood. In the centre, there was a gigantic three-legged furnace with two handles, emitting a thin smoke and a refreshing scent of medicine.
A beautiful young girl was sitting on a wooden chair, stroking a white as snow little mink in her lap.
“Miss, this is the Lu Xuan I’ve told you about. He has an exceptionally good talent in the field of spiritual plant cultivation. He can grow a large number of good quality and even superior quality spiritual plants.”
Manager He spoke respectfully, clearly holding this girl in high regard.
Lu Xuan also bowed slightly in return.
The beautiful girl moved her gaze from the white mink and scanned Lu Xuan briefly.
Lu Xuan quietly activated his concealment method, keeping his cultivation level at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer.
“Grandpa He, you rarely introduce a Spirit Plant Master to cooperate with Bai Cao Tang, so his skills must go without saying.”
The beautiful girl raised her chin slightly.
“However, he is younger than me and has low cultivation. He needs to prove himself with his performance.”
“The spiritual seeds in Bai Cao Tang are hard to come by, I’m not confident in handing over second-rank spiritual plant seeds to him.”
“Therefore, in the beginning, Bai Cao Tang will provide him with a predetermined amount of Spiritual Firefly Grass Seeds. Besides, he can also choose a first grade spiritual seed. If he performs well in the future, more varieties will be added.”
“Of course, this is already a lot.”
The thin old man respectfully nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued.
“Currently, a few first grade spiritual plants in the hall are in short supply. I am quite familiar with this kid, so I took the liberty to make a decision for him. I suggested that he choose the First Grade Blood Jade Ginseng. What do you think, Miss?”
“Okay.”
The beautiful girl agreed by nodding.
Seeing this, a hint of joy appeared on the thin old man’s face. He took Lu Xuan, who was in a state of confusion, and left the room.
