Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 30 Investment
The place where Yao Shifeng asked everyone to gather was a restaurant in the market town. This was a restaurant that specialized in serving cultivators, and it provided all kinds of spiritual wine, spiritual rice, and spiritual beast meat. It would definitely be a great honor to entertain guests here.

After all, things like spiritual wine, spiritual rice, and spiritual beast meat are not cheap, and are not affordable for ordinary low-level cultivators.

Yao Shifeng arranged the gathering here, and it must have cost him a lot...

Gu Mo, who was marveling at Yao Shifeng's generosity, suddenly caught a glimpse of someone waving at him at the side of the restaurant. Looking closely, he saw that it was Yao Shifeng, the initiator of this party.

"Boss Yao, long time no see!"

Seeing acquaintances, Gu Mo's face was filled with smiles. In the menial disciples' area, Yao Shifeng explained a lot of cultivation experiences to everyone. Of course, everyone also provided Yao Shifeng with a lot of help, but Gu Mo did not hate this kind of mutual help.

"Why don't you go in?"

After exchanging pleasantries with Yao Shifeng, Gu Mo pointed at the restaurant with some confusion.

"Do you think this place is affordable for menial disciples like us?" Yao Shifeng spread his hands. He set the agreed location here just to make it easier to find. After all, Yao Shifeng felt that everyone might not have the chance to come to this market in more than a year.

If he looked for a corner, no one might be able to find it, but as this restaurant was one of the most conspicuous buildings in the market, it was very easy to spot.

"Too!"

Gu Mo nodded. Even though he had 811 spirit stones in his pocket, he didn't dare to spend money here. Only those wealthy cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage or even the Foundation Establishment stage would come here to spend money.

After waiting for a while, Hu Hai, Wu Jinfei and Chu Feifei also appeared. Like Gu Mo, after the three of them appeared, they were all called over by Yao Shifeng.

Then the five of them found a cheap private room in a tavern, sat down, ordered a cup of inferior spiritual tea, and started chatting.

The content of the chats was basically complaints. After joining each peak, everyone realized the hardships of being a menial disciple. There was endless work to do every day. Take Fu Peak where Yao Shifeng was located as an example. After joining, the task of the menial disciples was to refine blank talismans.

Only after refining a certain number of blank talismans would one be rewarded. In order to meet the requirement, Yao Shifeng spent almost all of his time refining blank talismans, and even delayed his cultivation.

This also meant that Yao Shifeng's cultivation had hardly improved in the past year or so. It was no exaggeration to say that when he was in the menial disciple area, it was the time when everyone's cultivation progressed the fastest.

At that time, resources were provided by the sect, and they only needed to practice hard. But after joining the various peaks, most of their time would be spent on miscellaneous matters, and they would have to earn resources on their own.

Fortunately, after more than a year of hard work, Yao Shifeng has improved his skills in refining blank talismans. He can now complete his daily tasks relatively smoothly and has time for practice.

But this was not enough in Yao Shifeng's opinion. With his inferior spiritual roots, this was far from enough for him to rise up, so he thought of the people in the small group.

"Everyone, please give me a helping hand!" Yao Shifeng stood up and saluted everyone.

"Boss Yao, we need to discuss this matter." Wu Jinfei spoke as a representative of the four people, and everyone agreed with supporting Yao Shifeng.

After all, everyone had experienced the hardships of menial disciples and understood the frustration of having no backing. Yao Shifeng was obviously the most outstanding among the group. If they invested in Yao Shifeng and he could rise and become an outer disciple, they would all benefit. But how much to invest required careful discussion among everyone. They couldn't delay their own cultivation by investing in Yao Shifeng, which would be putting the cart before the horse.

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Yao Shifeng stood up and left the private room.

"How much can you give out without affecting your own cultivation?" After Yao Shifeng left, Wu Jinfei glanced at Hu Hai and Chu Feifei, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Mo.

In Wu Jinfei's opinion, Gu Mo, who entered the Qi Refining Stage the latest and joined Lingzhitang, should be the poorest among the group. Therefore, the lower limit of Yao Shifeng's investment this time should be on Gu Mo.

"Hu Hai, how much are you offering?"

Gu Mo glanced at Hu Hai. With Gu Mo's current wealth, he was definitely the richest in the small group. In Gu Mo's opinion, the lower limit of investment should be Hu Hai.

As for Chu Feifei, her wealth is estimated to rank second in the small group. This is Gu Mo's guess based on Chu Feifei's special physique. Chu Feifei can activate her special physique by performing the cleansing technique on herself, thereby increasing her cultivation speed.

As long as the speed of cultivation can be kept up and the spiritual power continues to grow, the work of a menial disciple can be handled easily, and if the task is completed successfully, the corresponding reward will be obtained.

"I can take out a maximum of 25 spirit stones."

Hu Hai thought about it in his mind and finally spoke. Hu Hai, who had just joined Danfeng for a year, did not earn much spiritual stones because he was not proficient in the business, but he still chose to take out 25 spiritual stones, which was nearly half of his wealth, because he also hoped that Yao Shifeng could rise and then become their support.

He didn't want to continue living that kind of life without support and being bullied in Danfeng.

"Then each of you will give 25 spirit stones." Wu Jinfei nodded. Although he had more wealth than Hu Hai, 25 spirit stones were indeed painful to pay. But he also hoped to have someone to rely on. Hu Hai was not the only one who encountered bullying of the newly joined menial disciples. Wu Jinfei had also experienced it.

Among the five people, it is probably only Gu Mo who has not had such an experience. After joining the Lingzhi Hall, he directly rented a spiritual field outside the valley and did not work with other chores disciples at all. Naturally, no one would bully him.

Even now, Gu Mo has become a target of currying favor in the eyes of the errand disciples of Lingzhi Hall. This is also due to the publicity of Gu Mo by Lingzhi Hall, which has made many people know about Gu Mo, the errand disciple who was treated as an outer disciple after joining Lingzhi Hall.

"Thank you for your trust!"

When Yao Shifeng took over the 100 spirit stones, the confidence in his eyes, which had been somewhat dim, was rekindled. After joining Fu Feng, Yao Shifeng thought that as the second disciple in this session of menial disciples to enter the Qi Refining Stage, he should be able to receive some preferential treatment.

But in the end, there was nothing, because there were many people like him in Fufeng. After all, there would be a first, second, and third place in every session of miscellaneous disciples. These miscellaneous disciples basically joined the four peaks of Dan, Qi, Fu, and Zhen. In Fufeng Yao Shifeng, you can meet the first place of the previous session of miscellaneous disciples and the third place of the session before that.

Being the second in this session, he is nothing to Fu Feng. Even the top few in the next session will soon come to Fu Feng.

But now with the support of other members of the small team, Yao Shifeng is fully confident of surpassing them, and this will also be the first step in his rise.
