Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

Chapter 1 Inheriting Gambling Debts

Let no one live anymore!

The debt collectors actually blocked my door!

Li Fan felt like the sky was falling, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.

This luck is extremely bad!

After hiding for so many days, he was finally caught.

He really doesn't want to be a deadbeat, but his pockets are cleaner than his face. He can't take out a single cent, so what can he use to pay back?

The money for the helper has not been received yet, and before leaving, my brother took away the last bit of spiritual stones in the family. Now the family is completely penniless.

The person blocking the door was Zhou Xuanba, a thug from the gambling house, who was a cultivator at the third level of Qi training.

This man is as strong as an iron tower, with a face full of flesh and fierce eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is a ruthless character and definitely not a good person.

As for Li Fan, he is only at the first level of Qi training and doesn't know any powerful fighting skills. It's a stretch to call him a spiritual man, at best he's only half a spiritual man.

no way.

At the age of fifteen, he was just a worthless kid in the eyes of those profit-seeking landlords.

"Hey, run, just keep running!"

Zhou Xuanba grinned with his big yellow teeth, his face full of ferocity and complacency.

"Master Zhou, I'm working as a servant in Mr. Zhang's household. My wages haven't been settled yet. Could you please be kind enough to give me a few days' leave?"

Li Fan's voice was trembling and his face was full of pleading.

Zhou Xuanba didn't care about all this. He shook the tendons on his body that were as hard as rocks, and without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed it like a chicken.

"I don't care about that. Gather me a hundred spirit stones within three days, or I'll use your house as payment!"

After saying that, he pushed hard, snorted coldly, and walked away with a swagger.

Li Fan was pushed by this huge force and staggered, falling heavily to the ground. He felt as if all the bones in his body were broken and the pain was unbearable.

Looking at Zhou Xuanba's receding back, his eyes almost spitted fire and he secretly swore in his heart.

I'll settle this account with you sooner or later!

But at this moment, it's all just a thought, with nowhere to vent the anger in my heart.

There was no other way. If I wanted to solve the current predicament, I could only go to Mr. Zhang to ask for my wages.

Soon, he arrived at Mr. Zhang's mansion.

He looked around carefully before walking forward and gently knocking on the vermilion lacquered door.

A moment later, the door opened and a servant with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks poked his head out.

With squinting eyes and a face full of impatience, he asked in an extremely bad tone, "What are you doing?"

The matter was urgent, so Li Fan had no time to argue with him about his attitude.

Accompanying him, he carefully asked, "Is Mr. Zhang here?"

The servant's expression instantly became even uglier, and he snorted unhappily, "What's the matter?"

Li Fan knew very well that this kind of watchdog was difficult to deal with, so he didn't want to waste any more words and thought for a moment.

"I have a rare item and would like Mr. Zhang to take a look at it."

As he spoke, he took out the dark-colored jade pendant from his bosom.

This jade pendant was accidentally obtained by my brother while he was out hunting, and he has been carrying it with him all the time.

But after wearing it for so long, I didn’t find anything special about it.

But at this time, I can only use it as a stepping stone to find Mr. Zhang to settle my wages, otherwise I can't even get in the door.

The servant took a look at the jade pendant, snorted, and turned inside to report.

After a while, Li Fan was brought into the yard.

Mr. Zhang was sitting leisurely on the armchair, drinking spiritual tea with great relish. He looked so comfortable.

Before Mr. Zhang could speak, the heavily made-up concubine beside him spoke first.

"Master, what good things can a poor fellow like you have for me?"

The voice was so sweet that it gave people goosebumps.

Li Fan suppressed his unhappiness, walked forward, and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Zhang, could you please settle my wages?"

When the concubine heard that he was asking for money, she immediately rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Hey, aren't you here to give me a treasure? Why are you here to ask for money? Humph, as expected, a poor guy can't say a word that is reliable."

Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked over slowly, with a frightening majesty in his eyes.

"The spiritual rice hasn't been harvested yet, so where can I get the money to give you? Let's talk about it in a few days. Oh, by the way, let me take a look at the jade pendant first."

How shameless!

Li Fan was so angry, but he could only suppress it and took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.

At this time, the shifty-looking housekeeper Zhang leaned over to Mr. Zhang's ear and said, stirring up trouble: "Master, it's unreasonable to ask for money without finishing the work."

Mr. Zhang frowned, put down his teacup, stretched out his hands that were as fat as pig's trotters, took the jade pendant, and looked at it over and over again.

After looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what it was.

Then he raised his eyes and said with a forced smile, "If you settle your wages in advance, they'll deduct quite a bit."

Li Fan cursed their ancestors in his heart, but could only say, "Okay, whatever you say."

When Mr. Zhang saw that there was profit to be made, he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.

"How much?"

Li Fan said stubbornly, "One hundred yuan."

When Mr. Zhang heard this, his chubby face twitched.

"That's too much. All your wages added up to only 110. The most I can give you is 80."

Well, thirty spirit stones are missing all of a sudden.

What a cruel heart!

Don’t be afraid of being struck by lightning!

Eighty is eighty, and we’ll figure out the remaining twenty later.

This stingy guy probably wouldn't even give me eighty if it weren't for the jade pendant.

Li Fan was about to agree.

But the concubine was not happy.

"Master, eighty is too much. Fifty is good enough."

Mr. Zhang's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

Just as he was distracted for a moment, the jade pendant in his hand fell to the ground.

There was a crisp and loud "click" sound.

The jade pendant was not strong to begin with, and one corner broke immediately after it fell.

The jade pendant, which was already plain-looking, now looked even uglier.

Mr. Zhang looked at the broken jade pendant with a look of disgust.

"Okay, I'll give you at most sixty spirit stones."

If Li Fan hadn't been good at growing spiritual rice, he probably wouldn't have even had these sixty spiritual stones.

Li Fan had no choice but to nod and take the sixty spirit stones from Butler Zhang.

Just as he was about to leave, the concubine's sarcastic voice rang out again.

"Take this broken stone away. It brings bad luck just by looking at it."

Li Fan remained silent and bent down to pick up the fragments of the jade pendant.

My mind was in a mess and I accidentally cut my finger with the broken corner of the jade pendant.

Blood gushed out instantly and flowed into the jade pendant.

Li Fan was afraid that something might go wrong again, so he quickly put the jade pendant into his arms and turned away.

The wound on my finger was bleeding profusely.

Only after leaving Zhang's house did he hurriedly stop the bleeding.

Only after the bleeding stopped did Li Fan have the mind to think about his current situation.

The gambling debt must be repaid. Zhou Xuanba is a cruel and ruthless person and is not someone who can be easily fooled.

If the debt cannot be repaid, the house will be used as collateral.

If you lose your house, you will be driven out of the market.

Outside the market town, evil spirits and ghosts were rampant at night. With his limited cultivation, he would die if he went out.

The more Li Fan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but shiver.

There are still forty spirit stones missing.

Where can we fill such a huge gap?

What bad luck!

Ever since I traveled to this world of cultivating immortals, I haven't encountered a single good thing.

That’s right, Li Fan is an unlucky time traveler.

As soon as I came through, I was chased for debt.

This debt was owed by the original owner's brother.

Unfortunately, the original owner's brother died outside before he could repay his debt, and his energy was sucked away by ghosts.

This debt naturally fell on the original owner.

Inheriting debt, what kind of thing is this!

But in this world of immortal cultivation, it is normal for a son to pay off his father's debts and for a younger brother to pay off his brother's debts.

Oh, it’s so unlucky to have such a brother who is addicted to gambling.

Before the original owner's brother got into trouble, life was pretty good.

After all, he has reached the middle stage of Qi training, and can earn a lot of money by going out hunting frequently.

Although there were a lot of gambling debts, no one dared to push too hard.

In addition, the original owner had good skills in spiritual planting, and he could earn some income by working as a helper in Mr. Zhang's house.

Overall, I can still make a living.

Who knows what will happen unexpectedly?

After the gambling house knew that his brother had died, they sent people to collect the debt every few days.

Zhou Xuanba is the most vicious among the debt collectors.

The original owner was so frightened and heartbroken that he followed her.

Li Fan came through like this and took on this debt without knowing why.

Thinking of this, Li Fan felt upset, but what could he do?

What’s even worse is that the original owner had no other skills except for growing some spiritual rice.

I'm already fifteen years old, but I'm still stuck at the first level of Qi training.

In the world of cultivating immortals, this is the lowest level of existence, with no way out in sight.

As he was thinking, Li Fan suddenly felt dizzy.

His body was shaking and he couldn't stand steadily.

Monks are generally in good health and rarely get sick.

Even if he has only reached the first level of Qi training, this shouldn't happen.

I looked down at the wound on my finger and saw that it was so swollen.

Before he could react, his vision went dark and he passed out.

In a daze, he seemed to see a thatched hut in front of him.

Next to the thatched house, there is about an acre of spiritual field.

This spiritual field is not ordinary.

Surrounded by spiritual energy, it turned out to be a first-level spiritual field.

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat and his breathing became rapid.

You know, first-level spiritual fields are rare, even Mr. Zhang’s family doesn’t have one.

Only the owner of Changningfang has it.

Could this be the beginning of my luck changing?

Or is it just an illusory dream?
