Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

Chapter 4 Borrowing Money to Pay Off Debts

What is supposed to come will come.

Li Fan gritted his teeth and had to go and open the door.

The door slowly opened.

The person standing at the door was not the ferocious Zhou Xuanba, but Butler Zhang.

"Li Fan, why didn't you go to take care of the spiritual field yesterday?"

Butler Zhang's voice was sharp and piercing.

Li Fan let Butler Zhang into the yard with an apologetic look on his face.

"Butler Zhang, I fainted yesterday and I'm really not feeling well."

Butler Zhang rolled his eyes and said coldly, "This is fine. Hurry up, pack up and go to the spiritual fields. The spiritual rice is about to mature, so we must take extra care of it."

Li Fan said in a muffled voice, "Can I take a day off?"

When Butler Zhang heard this, his eyes widened and he started cursing, "Well, you didn't go yesterday and you want to take a leave today? You don't want to work anymore, right?"

Li Fan said helplessly, "It's been a day?"

Butler Zhang looked at him as if he were an idiot and snorted coldly.

Li Fan couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that he had slept for a whole day.

I have been studying the spiritual plant space and have forgotten the time.

There is only one day left before the three-day deadline given by Zhou Xuanba.

Even if you own an acre of high-quality spiritual land, it is still not enough to quench your thirst.

Planting spiritual fields takes time, but there is no time to wait for gambling debts.

Li Fan thought silently in his heart, "I must gather forty spirit stones as soon as possible."

But there is still a shortage of forty spirit stones.

Such a huge amount.

Where can I get it?

When Butler Zhang saw that he was being ignored, he snorted coldly.

Li Fan finally came to his senses, shook his head, and tried to collect his thoughts.

He still wanted to study the spiritual plant space in depth and didn't want to start working so soon.

In order to study the spiritual plant space, a great deal of mental energy is consumed, and a good rest is necessary to recover.

In addition, he had to find a way to collect the other forty spirit stones.

Zhou Xuanba was not joking.

Once the time comes, the house may really be used to pay off debts.

If it weren't for the market rules, they would have robbed it openly long ago.

Think of this.

He felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, heavy and stuffy.

So, he wanted to find an excuse to send Butler Zhang away.

"Butler Zhang, can we go tomorrow? In my current state, I'm afraid I can't even perform the Tree Supporting Technique."

There was a hint of pleading in his voice.

When Butler Zhang heard this, he immediately became like a civet cat with its fur standing on end, and his face instantly became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

Having been ignored to begin with, he naturally became even more angry at this moment.

So, he narrowed his eyes and shouted sternly: "Stop talking nonsense! Who do you think you are? Still bargaining with me!"

The sound was so harsh that it almost penetrated the eardrum.

Butler Zhang is a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training after all. When he shows his power, he does have a scary aura.

Whether it is the past life or this life.

Li Fan is very familiar with this kind of lackey who bullies others by taking advantage of his power.

Suddenly, the little flame of resistance in his heart was extinguished.

I plan to go to work with Butler Zhang.

But he stopped trying, but Butler Zhang refused to give in.

He even put on an arrogant attitude and continued to curse: "Humph, you want to be lazy, do you think I'm blind?"

Unless Li Fan doesn't want to cultivate the spiritual fields of Mr. Zhang's family, he can only endure this humiliation.

Also because of his young age, other families in the market were unwilling to hire him.

Otherwise, who would tolerate the humiliation from Butler Zhang?

Since we have to continue to make a living, resistance at this time is meaningless and will only bring more trouble.

After figuring this out, Li Fan suppressed his anger, turned around, picked up the spiritual hoe placed in the corner, and said in a low voice, "Butler Zhang, let's go."

Butler Zhang snorted, "Well, you should have been obedient earlier."

As he spoke, he flicked his spotless Ruyi robe, turned around and strode out.

The way he walked looked like a proud toad.

Li Fan sighed and followed closely.

However, his thoughts were still on the spiritual plant space.

With the blessing of the spiritual plant space, this bird aura should not last too long.

The two of them were walking along with their heads down, but they bumped into Zhou Beimo.

Zhou Beimo has an elegant temperament and exudes an innate nobility.

Butler Zhang hurried forward with a smile on his face, bowed and greeted him.

Zhou Beimo returned the greeting perfunctorily, but turned his head to look over.

Seeing this, Li Fan's mind flashed with memories of Zhou Beimo.

Zhou Beimo is the third son of the abbot Zhou Changqing.

He was only thirty years old and had reached the sixth level of Qi training, so his talent was not very good.

The original owner's parents had gone hunting with Zhou Beimo, and they had some friendship with each other.

Think about this.

Li Fan immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Uncle Zhou, it's been a long time."

Zhou Beimo had just returned from Wushuang City and knew nothing about Li Fan being harassed for debt. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, what are you doing, little guy?"

Li Fan replied: "I'm going to go take a look at the spiritual fields."

Zhou Beimo was tired from the journey and a little absent-minded. He said politely, "Well, go ahead. Remember to come to my house when you have time."

Li Fan was just worrying about the forty spirit stones. Seeing Zhou Beimo was about to leave, an idea struck him. He made up his mind and begged, "Uncle Zhou, can you lend me forty spirit stones?"

Zhou Beimo was stunned and frowned slightly.

Li Fan naturally knew that this was a bit rash, but he had already made a plan in mind.

"Uncle Zhou, there's nothing I can do. The gambling debt is coming due soon."

His voice was full of helplessness and anxiety.

Zhou Beimo looked at him meaningfully with an inexplicable expression.

Li Fan knew it in his heart.

Many people will not lend money to pay off gambling debts, no matter how good their relationship is.

After all, Zhou Beimo and his parents were just casual acquaintances, not to the extent that they could borrow money from each other.

What's more, Zhou Beimo is famous for not doing anything without profit.

It is impossible to borrow spirit stones without any words.

Moreover, my parents went out to the market a year ago to look for opportunities and have not returned yet. Their life or death is unknown.

There is already unrest outside the market town, and who knows if my parents have encountered any accidents.

Furthermore, my brother is a gambler and has made the family penniless.

Everyone will stay away from such a broken family.

The Tao is ruthless, and the cultivators are even more ruthless.

No one would do anything without benefits and advantages, let alone Zhou Beimo.

If my parents were still alive, with their support, I might be able to borrow forty spirit stones.

But these days are different.

really.

Zhou Beimo sighed softly and said in embarrassment: "Li Fan, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really... You also know my difficulties."

Li Fan's mind was as clear as a mirror.

I know that Zhou Beimo is afraid that the spirit stones he lent out will never be returned, and it will be unprofitable.

Naturally know what the other person wants.

"Uncle Zhou, I can help you cultivate ten acres of spiritual fields to pay off your debt. From seedling cultivation to harvest, it'll cost forty spiritual stones a year. What do you think?"

This is the conclusion Li Fan came to after careful consideration.

In fact, a helper working on ten acres of spiritual fields can earn one hundred spiritual stones a year.

This also counts as paying interest in advance.

Helping Mr. Zhang to take care of forty acres of spiritual fields, and if we add another ten acres, the pressure is indeed enormous, and there is almost no time for cultivation.

But things have their priorities, and paying off the gambling debts is the most urgent task.

If the house is used to pay off debts and you are driven out of the market, it would be a loss.

The monsters and ghosts outside the market are beyond the ability of a young cultivator like him who is only at the first level of Qi training to deal with.

What's more, there is the evil spirit that is everywhere.

Anyway, my cultivation has weakened a bit, but as long as I persevere, I can always improve it.

As your cultivation level improves, planting more spiritual fields will not be so difficult.

The difficulties are only temporary, there is no need to fight to the death with Zhou Xuanba.

Although it is very stressful to take care of fifty acres of spiritual fields at once.

But as long as you allocate your time properly, you can still accomplish it.

With the crystal returning pure spiritual power, he had enough confidence to improve his cultivation.

Of course, there is another deeper meaning behind borrowing spirit stones from Zhou Beimo.

That is to use this opportunity to tie themselves to the Zhou family.

It depends on whether Zhou Xuanba dares to be so arrogant again.

Zhou Beimo listened, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Can you really do it?"

It is absolutely a fantasy to think that one can manage fifty acres of spiritual fields after practicing Qi at the first level.

Generally speaking, only a spiritual cultivator who has reached the third level of Qi training can do this.

You know, being able to manage thirty acres of spiritual fields at the first level of Qi training is already the limit.

Li Fan's eyes were firm, and he said without hesitation: "I can do it. If you don't believe me, ask Steward Zhang. I am currently managing forty acres of spiritual fields, and I manage them very well."

Although Steward Zhang was reluctant, he did not lie. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Third Young Master."

Li Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Butler Zhang told the truth.

Zhou Beimo thought for a moment, then took out forty spirit stones from his storage bag with some doubt.

This should be done for the sake of the parents.

Of course, the most important thing is that you can earn an extra sixty spirit stones.

It’s not a loss for him.

It can be said to be very profitable.

Not only does it give you a good reputation, but it is also profitable.

Li Fan hurriedly took the spirit stone, and his heart finally settled down. He was so excited that he almost jumped up.

I finally paid off my gambling debts, and I feel so happy.

From beginning to end, the butler was like a mute and did not step forward to stop it.

This grandson has no right to speak in front of Zhou Beimo.

The dignity of the abbot's son is not something that anyone can easily offend.

Only after Zhou Beimo left did the housekeeper say coldly, "Hurry up."

Along the way, the butler had a gloomy face and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Fan would not offend anyone and just followed quietly.

Soon, the two arrived near the spiritual field.

At this time, most of the spiritual rice has turned yellow.

I think it will be ready for harvest in a few days.

Only then did Butler Zhang's face turn gloomy as he asked, "You want to reduce the number of acres of land you manage?"

Li Fan listened to the words and instantly realized that this grandson did not believe that he could manage fifty acres of spiritual fields at the same time. He immediately said expressionlessly, "No."

Butler Zhang refused to give in and said angrily, "You better think carefully about the consequences of reducing the number of acres of land you manage."

Li Fan rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart: "This bastard, he really has no good intentions."

Love is waiting here.

He now manages forty acres of spiritual fields, with ten spiritual stones per acre.

The annual salary is four hundred spirit stones.

In addition to helping to harvest the spiritual rice, Mr. Zhang will also pay an additional 400 kilograms of spiritual rice.

It seems that Butler Zhang's grandson wants to tamper with the spiritual rice given to him.

After all, the wages have been fully paid.

Li Fan is now relying on the harvested spiritual rice to make a living, so how could he dare to let his grandson take it away?

He immediately said coldly, "Don't worry, there will be no less management."

"I hope so, but if the quality drops, you also need to be aware of the consequences."

After Butler Zhang finished speaking, he walked away with his legs spread out.

Li Fan saw Butler Zhang leave and turned to look at the spiritual field.

Many spiritual plants were undulating in the rice waves.

He came to the spiritual field that he managed.

That's when I discovered it.

After a day of not being taken care of, some of the spiritual rice has fallen to the side.

Managing spiritual rice is a delicate job and requires diligence.

Li Fan quickly took action and immediately performed a tree-supporting technique.

The fallen spiritual rice immediately stood up straight.

Li Fan's tree-supporting skills are indeed excellent, almost as good as those of an adult.

This is also the important reason why Mr. Zhang is willing to hire him, a cultivator at the first level of Qi training.

With Li Fan's current spiritual power reserves, he can tidy up five acres of land a day.

Forty acres of spiritual fields can normally be maintained in eight days.

It is relatively easy to take care of it repeatedly on a daily basis.

But this time, there was a delay of just one day, and problems arose with the spiritual rice.

Looks like there's going to be a lot of work ahead.

After that, we have to add Zhou Beimo’s ten acres of spiritual fields.

My scalp goes numb just thinking about it.

Just as Li Fan was performing the tree-supporting technique, a spiritual field next to him suddenly shook.

Li Fan noticed something strange and immediately ran over quickly.

I was immediately shocked by the scene in front of me.
