Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 70 Tea Tree
After school, Li Zhen went to the Yiqian Hall to read classics and also took time to practice making talismans.

He reduced the time he spent practicing swordsmanship in the Yiqian Hall, mainly because he had practiced more at school. The extra training time at school made him change his study plan in the Yiqian Hall.

By reading classics, he gained more experience.

When he got home, he smelled the aroma of spiritual meat as soon as he entered the door. Now he can eat spiritual meat every night.

Eating spiritual meat every night may not bring any benefits in the short term, but from the articles on the Monk's Network, we can see that eating spiritual meat for a long time can improve the physical fitness of monks.

If it is some special spiritual flesh, it can even enhance certain characteristics of the monk.

While eating dinner, Li Zhen was thinking about how to get some of the spiritual rice.

But he didn't say anything until the end of dinner.

The truth is that he didn't know how to explain the origin of the spiritual rice. This was a first-grade, mid-quality spiritual rice. Only some cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training in Yunxi County were qualified to buy and eat it.

The reason for this is that the first-grade medium-grade spiritual rice requires first-grade medium-grade spiritual fields and first-grade medium-grade spiritual energy, which are beyond the reach of ordinary spiritual farmers.

The Immortal Kingdom has the means to mass-produce first-grade inferior spiritual soil, but the cost of higher-grade spiritual soil has increased significantly, which is far less cost-effective than first-grade inferior spiritual soil, and is also the choice of most spiritual plant husbands.

Another point is that applying for first-grade intermediate spiritual energy is more difficult and strict. The total spiritual energy supply in Yunxi County is fixed. In order to maintain the county's spiritual energy consumption, all spiritual energy applications must pass review.

First-grade, mid-quality spiritual fields are scarce, so the amount of first-grade, mid-quality spiritual rice produced is naturally small.

The most important thing is that the spiritual rice in Li Zhen's hand is quite different from the spiritual rice varieties in the fairyland.

In the end, he did not take out the spiritual rice, but thought of selling it in the market in exchange for spiritual stones.

Even though he had obtained a lot of spirit stones, he still needed eighteen spirit stones every time to travel to another world, so any amount of spirit stones would not be enough for him.

He entered the training room and began to digest the elixir energy in the Dragon Heart Space.

After an hour of practice, he returned to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he activated his spatial magical power, disappeared from the fairyland world and came to another world.

After checking as usual and finding nothing unusual, Li Zhen left the cabin.

"Old Qian!" As soon as Li Zhen went out, he saw the old monk Qian and greeted him happily.

He felt relieved that nothing happened to Old Monk Qian.

"Little friend Li, it seems that we are all lucky!" Old Monk Qian replied with a smile.

"How are the others?" Li Zhen asked again.

"All the wooden houses nearby are empty!" said old monk Qian, shaking his head.

Although he did not explicitly say whether the others were dead or alive, the fact that the wooden house was empty meant that someone had died or had given up.

"Oh!" Li Zhen sighed heavily.

"After a while, a new batch of monks will arrive, and these wooden houses will soon have owners!" Old Monk Qian has seen life and death, and he said calmly.

"There won't be any major changes in the rules of the market, right?" Li Zhen asked.

The market town hasn’t announced any new rules yet, but Li Zhen isn’t sure if there will be any changes in the future. What he’s most worried about is change.

This world is his important base for obtaining resources. If it is unstable, he will not be able to feel at ease.

"The rules of the market town cannot be changed. These rules are not actually made by the market town managers, but by the sects above. The sects don't care who manages the market town. Once the rules they make are broken, what awaits the managers is the sanctions from the sect!" Old Monk Qian explained with a smile.

Li Zhen was stunned to hear this answer, but when he thought about it, even though the market town gathered so many independent cultivators, it was ultimately just a part of the sect's sphere of influence.

Some of the sect's disciples were selected from various towns and markets, and the towns and markets were also one of the sect's foundations.

After bidding farewell to old monk Qian, Li Zhen came to the spiritual plant shop.

The Lingzhi Shop is a store that specializes in selling Lingzhifu-related resources. He came here to buy Lingdao seeds.

He looked at the spiritual plants displayed on the counter. There were two kinds of spiritual rice seeds, first-grade low-grade and medium-grade spiritual rice seeds, as well as some other spiritual plant seeds and seedlings.

The spirit seedlings are placed in a formation, which can preserve their activity as much as possible and prevent them from being lost.

"What spiritual seedlings are there?" Li Zhen asked the owner.

"What kind of spiritual tea seedlings do you want?" To his surprise, the shop owner asked back. "Do you have any first-grade high-quality spiritual tea seedlings?" Li Zhen saw that the shop owner was so arrogant and couldn't help but ask him a difficult question.

The shop owner looked Li Zhen up and down, his eyes swept over the long sword at Li Zhen's waist, and then looked at the clothes on Li Zhen.

The clothes on Li Zhen were not from this world. When he first came to the market town, the clothes he wore were prepared by Gu Zhun of Shifang Valley.

Although the style of the clothes he is wearing now is the same as that of this world, the material is the fabric of the fairyland.

Since this cloth is tighter than the cloth in this world and the thread density is higher, people with a discerning eye can see the specialness of the cloth.

In addition, Li Zhen has an extremely special temperament, which is completely different from that of ordinary cultivators.

As a casual cultivator, he would normally behave humbly in front of the owner of a spiritual plant shop, but Li Zhen showed an innate sense of superiority.

"Do you have enough spirit stones?" The owner asked softly as there was no one else in the store at the moment.

Li Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly. If he was not mistaken, the shop owner really had first-grade high-quality spiritual tea seedlings in his hand.

"Don't worry, Lingshi, do you really have spiritual tea seedlings?" He hesitated for a moment, still not wanting to miss this opportunity.

Even if his wealth is exposed, he is not without a way out.

"Let's sign a confidentiality agreement first!" said the shop owner, taking out a piece of contract paper.

Contract paper is a variation of talisman paper. Information mutually agreed upon by both parties is written on it, and then each party leaves a spiritual mark on it to activate it.

If one party violates the contract within a period of time, they will suffer the consequences of the contract.

This is also a common method of confidentiality in this world, but the contract paper is very valuable, costing almost forty spirit stones.

The shop owner took out the contract paper. In addition to asking Li Zhen to keep the content of the subsequent conversation confidential, he also wanted to see if Li Zhen was sincere.

If Li Zhen did not have the corresponding wealth, he would never consume the contract paper, as that would bring him into trouble and the store owner would not let him go.

The store owner wrote down the contents that both parties had to abide by on the contract paper, and Li Zhen read it and was left with a mental imprint.

Li Zhen was still very interested in the contract paper. The Immortal Kingdom did not have the technology for this kind of contract paper. The method used by the Immortal Kingdom was to swear an oath, and there was no contract paper to give a clear description of the content of the contract.

The owner invited Li Zhen into the inner room and served him spiritual tea.

"Top-grade spiritual tea!" Li Zhen couldn't help but say when he smelled the scent of the spiritual tea.

He had drunk first-grade superior spiritual tea from the principal of Xianguo No. 2 Middle School, so he immediately made his judgment.

"Please!" The shop owner's eyes lit up. He knew from Li Zhen's expression that Li Zhen was a connoisseur of goods.

Li Zhen picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip. This way of drinking tea made the owner certain that Li Zhen had drunk first-grade, top-quality spiritual tea.

If a cultivator has never drunk the first-grade premium spiritual tea before, he will drink it up in one gulp.

After passing this test, the owner felt relieved to take out a small bag and placed it in front of Li Zhen.

Ordinary casual cultivators are not qualified to drink first-grade premium spiritual tea. The owner has already regarded Li Zhen as a direct descendant of some force, or a disciple of a sect. In any case, he is a cultivator with sufficient wealth.

"Take a look at the goods first!" said the shopkeeper, waving his hand.

Li Zhen placed his hand on the bag and his spirit entered the bag.

As soon as he entered the bag, he knew that this was not an ordinary storage bag, but a special space bag that could store spiritual plants.

In the spiritual plant bag, there is a one-meter-tall spiritual tea tree, its aura is exactly first-grade top-quality, and the roots of the spiritual tea tree are wrapped in first-grade top-quality spiritual soil.

"You stole this, didn't you?" Li Zhen looked up at the shop owner and asked bluntly.

"Don't ask where it came from, but now that you have this thing, it's best not to plant it in the market. If someone finds out, I won't admit it!" said the owner indifferently.

The contract paper bound both parties. Even if the transaction was successful, Li Zhen would not be able to reveal the true source of the first-grade high-quality spiritual tea tree for at least one year.

Li Zhen was now certain that this was stolen from somewhere in the market town.

Considering the chaos in the market town before, the place where first-grade high-quality spiritual tea trees could be grown must be the base of the Iron Sword Gang or the Zhao family. This shop owner was literally pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth, snatching the spiritual tea tree from the Golden Sword Gang.
