Chapter 12 Double the Happiness

"Eh? Isn't that Qian Xiaoyue, the alchemy apprentice who lives next door? Why is she setting up a stall here? And what she's selling is talisman paper?"

Zhou Changwang was about to rush home, after all, he still had spiritual fields to take care of, but when his eyes passed by a stall, his steps could not help but pause, and he saw a female cultivator who looked a little weak, quietly setting up a stall.

This female cultivator was Qian Xiaoyue, the alchemy apprentice who lived next door to him.

However, what surprised him was that what she placed on the stall was not something related to alchemy, but talisman paper, which was completely unrelated to alchemy, that is, one of the necessary basic materials for making talismans, talisman leather paper.

The piles of talisman leather paper were specially cut to form regular talisman sizes, and the whole body was yellowish, but the surface was smooth and delicate. Although it was not considered top-grade talisman leather paper, it was already not bad.

"I didn't expect that my neighbor has this skill of making talisman paper."

Zhou Changwang sighed, and did not go forward to disturb him. He quickly left the casual cultivator market.

...

Skill: Spirit Rain Technique (Mastery 189/200)

"Unconsciously, my Spirit Rain Technique is about to be upgraded."

After nine consecutive Spirit Rain Techniques, Zhou Changwang couldn't help but smile.

Not only because the spell was about to be upgraded, but also because he could clearly feel that after using these nine Spirit Rain Techniques, he no longer had the feeling of lack of spiritual power as before.

Obviously, he still had spare power.

Proved that his cultivation level has indeed been improved.

"However, the cultivation level of the second level (31/100) of the Qi training period is still a long way from breaking through to the third level."

Zhou Changwang sighed, and still found a place to start meditating to recover.

After three weeks, most of the spiritual power in his body was restored, and Zhou Changwang woke up immediately.

"Changwang, Changwang."

Not long after waking up, I saw Old Xu Xing walking hurriedly from a distance.

And behind him, there was another person following.

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Changwang patted his butt and stood up and asked.

He looked at the person behind him with some surprise.

Xu Zhong.

Although he and Xu Zhong were both from the Spiritual Planting Hall, they were not the same spiritual plant master, so they didn't have much friendship.

"Changwang, didn't I ask you to help me get rid of insects yesterday?

Someone asked me about it, and I thought it was not a big deal, so I told him. I don't know how the topic got to Xu Zhong's ears. Isn't he worried about his spiritual field?

So he asked me to ask you if you can also help him get rid of insects."

As Old Xu said this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Behind him, Xu Zhongze, although dressed in brocade, was wrinkled and had a sad look on his face. Looking at him now, he also cheered up and said with his hands clasped, "I also heard that Brother Zhou is extremely talented and has practiced the Gengjin Finger to the level of mastery. He is a master at killing insects. That's why I begged Old Xu to bring me here and ask Brother Zhou to help kill insects."

"I can't help with this."

Zhou Changwang waved his hand and said hurriedly.

Xu Zhong's spiritual field has become a taboo place for the surrounding spiritual farmers, and they dare not even approach it.

In fact, there are too many spiritual insects.

Some people speculate that it is very likely that the insect king has been born in it, otherwise it would be impossible for so many spiritual insects to gather there.

This insect king is not like an ordinary spiritual insect. Not only is it larger, but its speed, attack power, and destructive power are more than twice as strong. He is just a small spiritual farmer in the second level of Qi training, and his means are limited, so he can't deal with it.

"I know this is a bit unreasonable.

But these few acres of spiritual fields are all my assets.

I have accepted the reduction in spiritual field production, but if there is no harvest, then I will be finished.

I rented these five acres of spiritual fields from the Spiritual Planting Hall on a half-rent and half-credit basis. It is agreed that after the harvest, the deficit on the books must be made up. If the deficit is not paid by then, the Spiritual Planting Hall will definitely ask for compensation. If I can't afford the compensation, I can only become a contract farmer."

Xu Zhong complained hurriedly, and finally said with a hint of pleading "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please help me since we both come from the Spiritual Planting Hall?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are putting me in a difficult position.

My cultivation level is only the second level of the Qi training stage. How can I help you? Even if my magic power is exhausted, how many spiritual insects can I get rid of?

It's better to ask the people from the Spiritual Planting Hall to help.

Although it is a bit expensive, at least they have a high level of cultivation, strong magic power, and strong insect removal skills. If I ask them for a few days, I think they can solve your crisis."

Zhou Changwang evaded.

"It's useless.

It's not like I haven't asked them before.

The insect removal master only got rid of more than ten spiritual insects, and he said that he didn't have enough spiritual power and stopped. He also asked me to provide him with Qi-recovering pills to restore his spiritual power. Otherwise, he would have to spend three low-grade spiritual stones again before he would help.

A bottle of Qi-recovering pills costs thirty low-grade spiritual stones, and a bottle has ten pills, which is three low-grade spiritual stones. How can I afford it?

According to what he said, I guess even if I spend thirty low-grade spirit stones, I may not be able to clear all the spirit insects in the spirit field. "

Xu Zhong said helplessly.

He is also a young man, of course he can't stand such an arrogant attitude and the behavior of asking for a price at the last minute, so he has long given up the idea of ​​continuing to ask the people of the Spirit Planting Hall to remove the insects.

Although this is just an individual case, he naturally doesn't want to suffer such a loss when he has a choice.

So, the next day he went to ask the two brothers Zhao Jie and Zhao Qiang who were also planting spirit fields in this area. Both of them are in the middle stage of Qi training and above, and they also plant three acres of spirit medicines. Their spirit planting skills are extremely high.

If they are willing to help, they should be able to easily solve his troubles.

Unfortunately, the two have always been alone, busy in their own spirit fields every day, and they don't pay attention to his requests at all. After asking in vain, he can only give up.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I won't say how many spirit stones I will give you, nor will I ask you to remove all the spirit insects in the spirit field within a certain period of time.

Just calculate it based on the number of spirit insects. For every ten spirit insects you kill, I will give you one low-grade spirit stone. For every full one, I will give you one.

In addition, the body of the spirit insect will also belong to you at that time. How about it? "

Then, Xu Zhong quickly spoke.

"Changwang, since the spirit fields are adjacent, you should help him."

Old Xu on the side also quickly helped persuade.

"Well... okay then. "

Zhou Changwang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Indeed, the other party had given enough benefits. Ten spirit insects for one low-grade spirit stone. Based on the number of spirit insects in the other party's spirit field, if all of them were eliminated, he could at least make a profit of ten low-grade spirit stones.

For him, it was not a small amount.

Add to that the corpses of spirit insects... that would be double the joy.

Of course, the most important thing was that Xu Zhong's spirit field was too close to his.

If the spirit crops in the other party's spirit field were eaten up, his spirit field would be the next one to suffer.

Instead of going through the trouble of doing this later, it would be better to take the initiative now. The key is that there are spirit stones to be taken, so why not?
