Chapter 556: Chapter 235 Good Person? Cruel Person? The Person Who Will Go! _2
Xu Jingnian smacked his lips and exclaimed:
“I’ve been struggling in the Ice Castle for many years and haven’t managed to earn a proper livelihood for Lil Liu.”
“But who would have thought, just by letting him be a guide honestly for once, he’s managed to secure a job.”
“This Senior Luo Chen, truly a good man!”
His friends listening were filled with envy.
A Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, who is not only generous in compensation but also doesn’t skimp on jobs, is indeed rare. Why haven’t they met one?
But only a “good man”?
He had heard a bit about the incident at Danxia Peak.
One of the three Rogue Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage was killed outright, and their end was quite miserable.
This master is definitely not a kind-hearted big fat sheep!
This is a ruthless man!
…
Regarding Xu Jingnian’s change from initially being arrogant to later being respectful.
Luo Chen appeared very calm.
He was very clear.
As a newcomer, no one would hold him in high esteem.
Even if he had reached the realm of Foundation Establishment Stage, others would only verbally respect him by calling him “Senior”, that’s it.
But when he displayed strength and benefits that were enticing enough.
Then real respect would naturally come.
Pulling Xu Xiao Liu into Luo Tian Creed was actually not Luo Chen’s idea.
It was Sima Huiniang!
She had been busy with helping Luo Tian Creed establish its roots in Tian Lan Immortal City before, and had many matters to attend to in and out of the city.
During this process, Xu Xiao Liu had genuinely provided a lot of help beyond just being a guide.
In one way or another, Sima Huiniang had this idea.
After reporting to Luo Chen, Luo Chen didn’t refuse.
Actually, accepting local rogue cultivators was also a means of outwardly signalling that Luo Tian Creed intended to integrate into Tian Lan Immortal City.
At the moment, this signal is still very weak and nobody cares.
But if anyone with intent inquired, they would notice.
A Glint, like a meteor, was coming from the horizon and breaking through the air.
The cultivators in Biyou Valley and Purple Lan Bamboo Forest instinctively looked up.
Seeing it go directly into Danxia Peak, they turned their gazes back.
That should be the lord of Luo Tian Creed.
They can’t afford to provoke him.
After the Langqi Flying Boat entered Danxia Peak, its speed slowed down.
While Luo Chen was flying, he used his excellent eyesight to scan the entire mountain from bottom to top.
The Spirit Fields were distributed around from the foot of the mountain to the top like stars.
Moreover, many cultivators were busy working in the fields.
There were more than a hundred First Order Spirit Fields planted with high-quality Spirit Rice Grain that yielded two harvests a year.
When it came time to harvest, it could just about satisfy internal needs.
As for the other Spirit Fields, they were still in the process of accumulating nutrients.
It would take two more years to restore to First Order quality.
During this process, they could only plant crops with lower economic value like the Celestial Silkworm Cloud Bean and Ten Fragrant Cardamom.
The primary objective was to allow the land to absorb the surrounding Spirit Qi for upgrading.
Apart from the original Spirit Fields.
The cultivators of the Medicine Hall had also set up an additional twenty Spirit Fields at flat terrains.
They also followed a similar method to upgrade the Spirit Fields.
One could imagine, once these Spirit Fields were fully utilized after three or four years.
By then, whether planting high-quality Spirit Rice Grain or planting medicinal materials and special Spirit Plants, they could bring huge profits to Luo Tian Creed.
Apart from fulfilling their own needs, they could even sell them to the outside.
“This is no longer a minor operation.”
“Granny Yuan genuinely intends to develop the cultivation of Spirit Plants to the scale of a small Sect.”
“She really has made every effort. It’s a pity …”
Luo Chen sighed.
The Flying Boat stopped at a quiet courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Outside the courtyard, all kinds of plants were growing lushly. It was quite lively in the peak of summer with their colors competing with each other.
Inside the courtyard, it was also similarly “lively”.
Or rather, it shouldn’t be called lively.
Because, many of those inside the courtyard looked sad.
Luo Chen disembarked from the Flying Boat and stepped in.
“Chairman.”
“Good day, Chairman.”
“Chairman, you’re here.”
As Yuan Dongsheng paid his respectful salute to Luo Chen, Luo Chen stopped in his tracks.
“Didn’t they say that she could still survive for two or three years? Why so soon?”
The scenario of Granny Yuan telling him frankly a year ago how much longer she could live still faintly lingered in his memory.
But he hadn’t expected.
“It was those twenty Spirit Fields.” Yuan Dongsheng said hoarsely, “My granny felt that Luo Tian Creed could use more Spirit Fields, so she wanted to develop some more.”
“But who would have thought, a dormant Black Ridge Stone Young Dragon was underground.”
“When the sleeping Black Ridge Stone Young Dragon was disturbed, it became furious and injured many people. Granny was there in person and subdued it with her own hands. But as a result, she expended her Yuan Qi.”
“So …”
Stone Young Dragons were a type of common Demon Beast.
They were often caught by Immortal Cultivators and turned into a First Order medicinal ingredient.
Usually, they were harmless.
But the Black Ridge Stone Young Dragon was different, being extremely volatile in temper.
Either it slept without minding worldly affairs, or it was ferocious and cruel, and dared to attack anyone.
Even Second Order Demon Beasts or Third Order Demon Beasts, it would brazenly go up and tear at them.
One could imagine how much effort Granny Yuan must have exerted to subdue it.
She was already old and frail, with her Qi and blood deteriorating drastically.
This large amount of activity could only speed up her march towards the end of life.
In fact, Granny Yuan had been bedridden and in a coma since a month ago.
This was mentioned in Sima Huiniang’s Sound Transmission Talisman.
Luo Chen softly nodded, directly walking into the room.
A strong smell of medicine hit his face.
It was even somewhat choking.
Luo Chen seemed to not have smelled it. His gaze fell on the bed.
