Chapter 15 Meeting old grandpa again

When I first moved to Jiuhufang and got the Neiji household registration certificate and housing registration certificate, the people in Temple Street were quite happy.

When I saw that all industries in Jiuhufang were prospering and spiritual materials were flourishing, I was even more happy.

Everyone thought that it would be no problem to find a job in Jiuhufang to earn spiritual stones. This move was a blessing in disguise.

However, the reality is not satisfactory.

There are indeed many opportunities to earn spiritual stones in Jiuhufang, but the neighbors who moved from Temple Street basically do not have any decent crafts except planting spiritual fields.

Everyone wants to find a job taking care of spiritual fields for large landowners.

The price of Ling Zhifu dropped from 3 pieces of spirit stones a year to 2 pieces.

It dropped from 2 yuan to a pitiful 1 yuan.

In this way, there are still too many monks and too little food, and more than 90% of people cannot find a job.

Some enterprising Temple Street people took the risk and joined the hunting team.

However, after all, the people from Temple Street are from farming backgrounds and have been dealing with spiritual fields all their lives. They are not as good at fighting as casual cultivators, let alone as alert as they are.

Those who joined the hunting team, including Zhang Jun, a young man who was the leader in Temple Street, all died in the mouth of the monster.

The old grandpa couldn't bear to see everyone living such a homeless life.

He gritted his teeth and mortgaged his house with a few people in Temple Street. Hundreds of neighbors also emptied their money, and everyone worked together to collect a sum of spiritual stones.

I plan to buy a spiritual field in the outer ring of Neiji.

But anyone who has ever been a spiritual farmer knows that spiritual land is more important than life, so how can they sell the land?

There was no choice but to use this spiritual stone to rent a spiritual field.

This spiritual field covers 5 acres, and the annual rent reaches 1000 spiritual stones.

The old grandpa weighed it repeatedly before leasing it.

This spiritual field belongs to the first-level medium-grade spiritual field. 5 acres of land can produce 5000 kilograms of medium-grade spiritual grain in a year.

According to the current market price, one kilogram of medium-grade spiritual grain can be sold for half a spiritual stone, and 5000 kilograms of spiritual grain is equivalent to 2500 spiritual stones.

After excluding the cost, you can earn 1000 spiritual stones in less than a year.

At this rate of accumulation, we can rent an additional 5 acres of spiritual land next year.

From now on, people in Temple Street can use this to gain a foothold in Neiji.

At that time, everyone only collected more than 500 spiritual stones, which was not enough to pay for the rent of 1000 spiritual stones.

In order to acquire this land, Grandpa and his friends borrowed usury from the Demon Hunting Alliance.

Finally, I rented 5 acres of first-class, medium-grade spiritual land.

However, when we actually started sowing, we discovered that it was not at all as planned.

If you want to plant a first-order mid-grade spiritual valley, a first-order mid-grade spiritual field is only the most basic condition.

In addition, the spiritual excrement of late-stage first-order spiritual beasts and the establishment of a large insect-repelling array were required. These costs were far beyond expectations.

The most important thing is the seeds.

The seeds of first-level mid-grade Linggu are specially cultivated by master breeders and are supplied in limited quantities in the inner collection.

Grandpa couldn't find a way to buy it at all.

I want to cancel the lease, but the owner doesn't agree. After all, the paperwork has been signed in black and white.

The Temple Street people who knew nothing about Neiji were taught another hard lesson.

"So what's going on now?" Henry Zhang asked eagerly.

"Later, Grandpa and the others switched to planting first-class low-grade spiritual vegetables, which mature once in three months. Although they are still losing money, at least they can repay part of the usury after harvesting this crop." Zhang Dawu sighed.

"Where does grandpa live?"

"My old grandpa's original house has been sold after the mortgage expired, and he now lives in my house."

Zhang Dawu's family is a six-cent spiritual field and was allocated two houses.

Now, Zhang Dawu's family is crowded into one room, and one room is reserved for his grandfather and several other elders from Temple Street.

"It's not an option for a large family to live in one house. Why don't we ask Zhang Sanqian to see if he can free up a room in his house for my grandpa to live in."

Zhang Dawu looked at Henry Zhang with wide eyes and said: "Isn't Zhang Sanqian's house not far from where you live? I thought you had heard about his family."

Henry Zhang was a little confused. During this period, he had been practicing Tiangang body training behind closed doors and did not go to Zhang Sanqian's house.

"what's wrong?"

"Zhang Sanqian hired a winemaker at a high price in Neiji. In order to buy winemaking equipment, he not only spent all the spiritual stones he had accumulated, but also mortgaged four houses. Unexpectedly, the winemaker directly brought the winemaking equipment and wine recipes. Ran away."

"So...that Zhang Sanqian family only has two rooms left?"

"Zhang Sanqian sold the spiritual valley at home and redeemed one house, but the other three houses were taken away."

After hearing what happened to the neighbors on Temple Street, Henry Zhang was also filled with sadness.

"Let's go, take me to meet grandpa." Henry Zhang said seriously.

"it is good."

Zhang Dawu stood up and packed up some of the leftover soup left on the plate and took it back.

Zhang Xuan paid a spiritual stone and left with Zhang Dawu.

When Zhang Dawu saw Henry Zhang casually taking out a spiritual stone from his storage bag, he was really surprised.

Although he expected that Henry Zhang would get some opportunities in Jiuhufang, he did not expect that the other party would eat a spiritual stone in one meal without blinking an eye, and he would also carry an expensive storage bag with him.

"How did you get so rich all of a sudden?" Zhang Dawu wondered.

Arriving at Zhang Dawu's house, Zhang Xuan saw his old grandfather.

"Xiao Xuanzi..." When the old grandpa saw Henry Zhang, a smile appeared on his sad face.

"Old grandpa..."

Henry Zhang saw the wrinkles on his old grandfather's originally energetic face becoming deeper.

Zhang Dawu on the side poured water for the two of them.

The two chatted for a while.

The old grandpa sighed and said, "You know everything about Temple Street, right?"

"Grandpa, Brother Dawu has already told me everything."

"Alas...I feel sorry for these old neighbors on Temple Street!" The old grandpa's eyes were bloodshot, looking muddy and lackluster.

"Old grandpa, all the lost spirit stones will be earned back."

"This is not a small amount of money. By growing spiritual vegetables, after deducting the cost, I can earn up to 200 spiritual stones a year, which is not enough to repay the interest on loan sharks. Originally, the people of Temple Street could not find a job in Jiuhufang, and Carrying such a huge debt..."

As he said this, the old grandfather choked up.

"Don't worry, old man, don't we still have a way out?"

"You mean Fairy Cat Cave?"

"Yes, have you forgotten? You gave me the ancient plaque of the Fairy Cat Cave at that time. We will divide the fecal stones obtained from it fifty-fifty. Once we have the fecal stones, we can directly plant elixirs on this spiritual field. "

"Growing elixirs?" Upon hearing these words, a gleam of light flashed in the old grandpa's dim eyes.

"Yes, if all these five acres of spiritual fields are planted into elixirs, the harvest will be much better than the first-level mid-grade spiritual grains."

"But Fairy Cat Valley is full of dangers..."

"My generation of monks go against the will of heaven!" Henry Zhang interrupted the old grandpa's words, and a sense of awe came out spontaneously.

"Okay!" The old grandpa patted Henry Zhang on the shoulder, "This is like a young man from Temple Street like us."

The two said a few more words, and Henry Zhang left.

The old grandpa looked at Henry Zhang's leaving figure outside the door and had mixed feelings for a while.

When he returned to the room, he found that 25 spiritual stones had been placed on the table in the room.

"This...this child!"

The old grandpa finally couldn't stop his muddy tears.

In Neiji, a huge spaceship parked on the ground.

It was drizzling in the sky.

However, everyone in the queue could not hide their excitement.

With the ancient cards in hand, everyone can board the spaceship and go to the Fairy Cat Cave.

In the long queue, Henry Zhang was only at the first level of Qi refining, and his appearance was not impressive.
