Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1868: Chapter 1403: To Be Revised

After entering Jiangzhou, Li Zhirui noticed that the people here had rosy complexions, were full of energy, and had robust physiques. This was different from the people in Jinzhou, as the former exuded a sense of vibrant health, while the latter simply enjoyed comfortable lives.

The most common sight was locals carrying farm tools, happily heading to the fields.

In their eyes, farming was not a laborious task.

This was vastly different from the farmers in Li Zhirui’s impression, so he curiously followed them one time, wanting to know why they were so happy.

Upon arriving at the fields, he discovered that these farmers had cultivation abilities. Although not very profound, it was more than enough for farming.

A single Weeding Technique could wither all the weeds in several acres, turning them into nourishment, while a Loosening Soil Technique made nearly ten acres of soil loose and aerated.

The farmers would occasionally take breaks, but Li Zhirui was surprised to find that they showed no signs of cultivating, yet a special energy surged from the fields into their bodies.

It was then that he realized that for them, this labor was actually a form of cultivation!

Moreover, what they were planting wasn’t ordinary grain, but different grades of Spirit Rice based on their cultivation level.

So, despite just being farmers, in terms of wealth, they might not be much poorer than the people of Jinzhou.

”Are you here to purchase Spirit Rice and Spiritual Objects from our village?” At this moment, a child about five or six years old came up to Li Zhirui, looking at him with bright eyes full of expectation, boldly asking.

This snapped him out of his thoughts. Right! If he could purchase enough spiritual items from these farmers, he could make a good impression, which might facilitate future dealings for buying Spirit Seeds of Human Immortal Rank Spirit Rice.

”Yes, little one, go call the adults. If the price is right, I’ll buy them.” He nodded with a smile.

”Dad! Uncle! Grandpa Village Chief, someone’s here to buy spiritual items!” Hearing this, the child immediately became very happy and shouted loudly.

In the next moment, Li Zhirui saw those men who were still resting immediately drop their tools and rush over at great speed.

Huff huff—

Perhaps too excited, by the time they arrived, they were all panting heavily.

”Are you the one looking to purchase the spiritual items from our village?” Among the group, the oldest one, presumably the village chief, rubbed his hands together expectantly.

”Yes.”

”How much are you planning to purchase? The spiritual items from our village are filled with spiritual energy and are very reasonably priced.”

Li Zhirui frowned imperceptibly, thinking these people didn’t seem very wealthy. Logically, they shouldn’t be!

”I’ll first check the quality of the spiritual items. If they’re as good as you say, buying them all wouldn’t be a problem.”

Wow—

The gathered farmers were all excited by this statement, causing a commotion.

”Silence!” The old village chief’s face flushed with excitement, but fearful of leaving a bad impression on Li Zhirui, he hastily chastised them.

”Dear sir, please follow me. I’ll take you to see the stored spiritual items in the village. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

With that, he led the way forward.

The village wasn’t far, and soon they arrived.

This was quite a large village with two to three hundred households. Most houses were built with gray bricks and black tiles. The children running and playing were sturdy, neatly dressed, and had no patches on their clothes.

From any perspective, it didn’t seem like a poor community.

While Li Zhirui observed, the group reached the center of the village, standing before a tall building. The village chief explained that this was the ancestral hall and also served as a granary.

Around the front of the ancestral hall, they headed straight to the granary in the back, where an empty lot housed two warehouses, one large and one small. Though seemingly ordinary, the walls were covered in numerous runes and writings.

’Pest prevention, rodent expulsion, moisture resistance, extended preservation...’

Li Zhirui easily understood their purposes: all for better, longer preservation of the spiritual items.

The old village chief took out a small copper seal and recited a Secret Technique quickly to open the granary’s heavy doors.

”Wow! I didn’t expect the village to have so many spiritual objects!”

The tall and spacious granary was packed full, at a glance containing tens of thousands of loads of Spirit Rice!

Li Zhirui then used his Divine Sense to inspect the bags of Spirit Rice, finding each bag abundantly filled with spiritual energy, showing no signs of age.

Such quantities of Spirit Rice, surely accumulated over two to three years.

”Village chief, is the other small warehouse for storing spiritual items?” he inquired.

The village chief looked a bit nervous, seemingly worried that Li Zhirui might find the volume too much and not purchase the Spirit Rice. ”Yes, the young men in the village grew them. Not only is the quality excellent, but the price is quite affordable.”

”I can purchase all of these Spirit Rice and spiritual items, but I have some questions for you, Village Chief.” Li Zhirui didn’t care about the price; he wanted to clear up his doubts.

”I will tell the guest everything I know.”

”I see that the village isn’t poor, so why have so many spiritual items piled up here unsold?”
