Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1869: Chapter 1403: Pending Repairs 2

“Sigh!”

The old village chief had been a bit apprehensive, fearing Li Zhirui might ask about some secrets, but didn’t expect it to be such a trivial matter, and said at once, “Everyone in the village is self-sufficient, plus we have some savings from before, so our life is fairly good.”

“And the reason these spirit rice and spiritual objects can’t be sold comes down to us being too greedy!”

The old village chief sighed again and told Li Zhirui a story.

Several years ago, their village accidentally cultivated a brand new kind of spirit rice that enhanced qi-blood, and various schools scrambled to buy it, causing its price to soar.

Stimulated by this, they stopped growing other spirit rice and spiritual objects, and the whole village focused on cultivating this Red Blood Spirit Rice that matured once every three years.

In just a few years, everyone in the village had some extra money and began renovating houses and improving their lives.

As the price of Red Blood Spirit Rice soared, it also aroused their greed, and they began to continuously raise the price, as there was no alternative spirit rice in the market at that time, others had no choice but to grit their teeth and purchase it.

But the good times didn’t last long, such exorbitant profits naturally incited jealousy, and after the spirit seeds of Red Blood Spirit Rice were stolen, many people managed to cultivate spirit rice with similar effects.

Moreover, after they ‘developed’ it, they didn’t publicly announce it but concealed the news as much as possible, then planted on a large scale.

When the Red Blood Spirit Rice matured and was ready to be sold, they pushed it to the market at a low price all at once!

The low price, yet with not much worse effect, naturally made people no longer choose to buy the authentic Red Blood Spirit Rice from their village, leaving it suddenly unmarketable.

And the spirit rice that matured over the three years, because it couldn’t be sold, was only stored in the granary.

Until today, when they met Li Zhirui.

Talking about the past, the old village chief’s face was full of regret. If they hadn’t been greedy back then, they wouldn’t have had all this Red Blood Spirit Rice stuck on their hands.

Initially, they were unwilling to sell at a low price, but by the time they wanted to sell, no matter how low the price was, no one was willing to buy.

Even though it was preserved very well, they would say it was old rice from a few years ago, could not be sold, and then tried to purchase it at the price of broken rice.

Li Zhirui quietly listened to the end. He didn’t say anything like why not organize a trade caravan themselves to transport the spirit rice to other state domains for sale.

Because for them, these farmers who spent their whole lives in the village and at most went to the county town, they simply had no such concept and also lacked the capability.

“Village chief, name your price, I’ll take all this spirit rice.”

When he checked just now, he found the energy contained in this spirit rice was very mild, supposedly even young children could easily digest it, just right for the family’s group of kids honing their bones to enhance their foundation.

“There are in total thirty-five thousand two hundred dan of spirit rice here, counting five taels of silver per jin, it’s seventeen million six hundred thousand taels.”

The old village chief quickly calculated and said immediately, “Guest can just give fifteen million taels of silver.”

“No need.” Li Zhirui shook his head and then asked, “I don’t have that much silver on me, how about buying with Human Immortal Rank Healing Pills?”

“This indeed lets us take advantage, thank you.”

As always, Human Immortal Rank Pills for him were easily refined and not precious at all. He immediately offered eighteen bottles of pills and then drew all the spirit rice in the granary into the storage magical treasure.

The old village chief carefully put away the pills. This was over tens of millions of taels of silver, he couldn’t afford not to be careful.

“I plan to return to the sect and plant this Red Blood Spirit Rice. Does the village chief have any relevant planting experience?” Li Zhirui asked.

With these more than thirty thousand dan of spirit rice, the Li family had enough for many years, but there would eventually come a day when it would run out, so he still needed to master the planting methods to avoid the worry of running out.

“We have, we have.” The old village chief immediately called his son, asked him to hurry back and bring that booklet over.

After buying the spirit rice, Li Zhirui went to look at various spiritual objects stored in the warehouse next door. This time, he didn’t buy everything but picked out about a dozen, leaving all the rest.

These were spiritual objects he didn’t have, though only at Loose Immortal Grade, they enriched his collection manual.

Similarly, he also asked the village chief for the spirit seeds of these spiritual objects.

Not long after, the planting experience and spirit seeds Li Zhirui wanted were all acquired.

“Village chief, have you heard that the Farmer School recently cultivated a kind of Human Immortal Rank spirit rice?”

The old village chief looked bewildered, having no idea what he meant by that.

Seeing this, he knew the other had probably never heard of it. With no other gains, Li Zhirui intended to leave the village.

“The day is drawing to a close, why not rest in the village for the night before setting out?” the old village chief warmly invited, in the face of such a big wealthy man,

“Thank you for your kindness, village chief, but I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t stay.”

Saying that, he bid farewell and left.

Leaving behind the remaining villagers, cheering joyfully aloud.

…

Several days later, Li Zhirui finally arrived at Jiangzhou State City, Nongcheng.

——

Even though it was preserved very well, they would say it was old rice from a few years ago, could not be sold, and then tried to purchase it at the price of broken rice.
