Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 28 Master Luo
Ronan bought three chickens in the market and carried them toward the shed.

The blood from these three chickens will become his talisman ink.

He plans to draw more amulets and sell them at the market.

I'll try to earn enough mid-grade spirit stones as soon as possible to buy the Flying Sword Talisman Manual.

After all, the flying sword talisman was displayed on the stall, and it might be sold one day.

Other secret manuals may have copies, but talisman manuals almost never have copies.

Because only cultivators who understand the talisman can draw the arc of its symbol.

A cultivator who knows a particular talisman will not usually pass on the talisman-drawing method he knows.

Since they still need to make a living from these talismans, they naturally don't want to have another competitor.

Ronan walked along the path in the spirit fields and saw in the distance a fat man with two tufts of mustache sitting on a small stool in front of his shed.

'Deacon Lin? What brings him here?'

Ronan tucked his hands into his robe sleeves.

The spirit probed into the storage ring.

He took out five Grandmaster-level protective talismans and held them in his hand.

At the same time, the primordial chaos is summoned.

"Hongmeng, analyze this person!"

Suddenly, a blue light flashed around Deacon Lin in his eyes.

Immediately, streams of information flooded into my mind.

Power: 6.1
Spirit: 12.3
Mana: 11.5
Realm: Qi Refining Level 7

'This person's realm is two levels higher than mine; their spirit and magical power are higher than mine, but their physical strength is lower.'

Ronan thought for a moment and then channeled his magic into the amulet.

Instantly, five invisible membranes enveloped him.

Then, as he walked, he used three more master-level protective talismans on himself.

Meanwhile, his right hand remained hidden in his sleeve.

His fingers were filled with amulets and talismans for protection.

As Ronan approached, Deacon Lin turned his gaze to him.

"Ronan!"

Deacon Lin called out to Ronan.

"Deacon Lin, what brings you here?"

Ronan asked.

At this moment, on the other side, the women planting rice seedlings raised their heads and looked in this direction.

A few days ago, Deacon Lin came here to inspect the spirit fields and said that if he saw Ronan, he would inform him.

Today, when the woman saw Ronan, she did as he said.

Upon hearing this, Deacon Lin immediately used his magic to rush over.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Ronan had already left.

So he could only take out a small stool from his storage bag and sit in front of the shed to wait.

After waiting for a while, I was getting a little impatient when I saw Ronan return.

Deacon Lin stood up and put the small stool into his storage bag.

"Ronan, two months have passed, how can your spirit fields be so neglected!" Deacon Lin blew his beard. "Do you intend to stay in the True Immortal Realm of the Realm for two years for nothing? Do you know that if you don't pay your spirit rice next year, it will implicate me?"

He had seen many people like this before.

After becoming a citizen, he didn't farm, so he lived in the True Immortal Realm of the Realm of the True Immortal for two years for free.

Then, he was forced to mine minerals to pay off his debts.

Before being expelled, he could live in the Immortal Realm of the True Rebirth Sect for several years for free.

A very small minority of these people are extremely lucky.

In the past few years, he has worked hard and reached a high level.

He was conscripted from the mines by the Zhenhuan Sect and participated in the war against other sects. He displayed his talent in combat and gained the sect's appreciation, being allowed to stay in the Zhenhuan Sect's Immortal Realm without being expelled. However, such a person is very likely to cause him to fail to meet his spirit rice production targets.

Therefore, if there are such people in the area he manages, they must be dealt with!
Upon hearing this, Ronan realized that Deacon Lin had come to him because he was worried that Ronan wouldn't be able to deliver the spirit rice next year, and he felt slightly relieved.

“I don’t intend to live here for free; I will start paying rent from this year onwards,” Ronan said.

In the shantytown, you can rent the worst shanty by paying three low-grade spirit stones a year.

His shanty was the worst kind.

His earnings from selling talismans today amounted to five low-grade spirit stones.

There's more than enough to cover the rent.

Deacon Lin frowned. "Don't think I'm easy to fool! You've only been here for two months, where did you get spirit stones?"

"In the shantytown, rent is paid first, then you can live there. If you cannot pay three low-grade spirit stones today, I will report this to Deacon Xie and have him remove you from the register and expel you from the True Rejuvenation Sect Immortal Domain."

"Don't worry, Steward Lin," Ronan said. "I have spirit stones. I'll go find Steward Xie later, pay the rent, and then I won't cultivate that spirit field anymore. You can distribute it to someone else."

Seeing that Ronan didn't seem to be lying, Deacon Lin suddenly remembered that Ronan hadn't stayed in the shack for the past two months.

'Could it be that this young man recognized his clansmen in the mansion area or the True Sect?'

'Was it his own clan who sponsored him with spirit stones?'

'The Luo... there are no families with the surname Luo among the cultivation clans...'

'The True Sect has a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Luo!'

'Could he be a collateral descendant of Master Luo?'

Although the blood ties are thin, they are still of the same clan, so they will mostly take good care of each other.

Deacon Lin realized that this person might be related to Master Luo, and recalled his earlier overbearing manner, causing a slight sweat to break out on his back.

“Fellow Daoist,” Deacon Lin cupped his hands in greeting, “I was quite offensive with my words just now. Since you are willing to pay the rent, I will not bother you any longer.”

“My name is Lin Shan. You know where I live. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just let me know.”

With that, he cupped his hands in a respectful bow again and left.

Ronan returned the greeting with a bow.

However, he was quite puzzled by Deacon Lin's sudden change of heart.

Not only Ronan, but the monks who had been silently watching from the sidelines were also puzzled by Deacon Lin's change of heart.

Unable to hear Ronan and Lin Shan's conversation, they began to speculate wildly.

After Lin Shan left, Luo Nan went inside and put the newly bought chicken away.

Afterwards, they arrived at Deacon Xie's house and paid a year's rent.

Deacon Xie also remembered that Ronan had only arrived two months ago, and because he had no spirit stones, he chose to farm for rent-free purposes.

However, only two months later, he handed over three low-grade spirit stones, which surprised him quite a bit.

When Ronan came to register for citizenship, Deacon Xie had a thought that Ronan might be a descendant of the Foundation Establishment True Person, Luo Da Zhenren.

Now that he's been given three low-grade spirit stones all at once, he feels the possibility of this happening is much greater.

"Fellow Daoist Luo," Deacon Xie said with a smile after Luo Nan handed over the spirit stones, "there is another shed in the area where you are currently living."

"That was also a single shack, bigger and cleaner than the one you live in now, and it had a bed, a table and a stove."

"However, before you came, there was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining who died of old age inside."

"Cleaning and settling scores will take time, so we didn't let you stay there at the time."

"Now that the cleaning and exoneration of that shack are complete, and no one lives there, you can live in it. How about that?"

Ronan looked at Deacon Xie and remained silent for a moment.

He didn't know what was going on today either.

He remembered that when he came to register his citizenship that day, this Deacon Xie had a cold and aloof demeanor.

Now that he has handed over the spirit stones, his demeanor has suddenly changed.

'Could it be that they know I earned spirit stones in just two months, and think I have great potential, so they want to befriend me?'

This thought popped into Ronan's mind.

Only in this way can we explain why the two deacons suddenly changed their attitude towards him.
