After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 90

The Spirit Field is located in the back mountain of the Bu Liu Xing Sect. It is a vast land where various spirit grains and spirit herbs are planted.

The spirit field managed by Bailu is located at the southernmost end of the spirit field. It grows a kind of spirit herb called "Biling Grass". This spirit herb is a good product for healing. Last time, she picked some of the mature ones, and the unripe ones are growing well in the spirit field.

There are also two very large spiritual valleys.

Bai Lu walked to the edge of the spirit field and looked at the green spirit grass and spirit grains that looked a little wilted due to lack of water. She couldn't help but feel a little heartache. Although she wouldn't get the money from selling them, it would be such a waste if they all died!

She tossed the compass upwards, and it immediately hovered in the air. Bai Lu made a hand seal, and two streams of spiritual spring water were drawn over.

Lingquan is a treasure land of the Buliuxing Sect. The spring water is clear and sweet, containing rich spiritual energy, and is the best water source for irrigating the spiritual fields.

She chanted a spell, and the compass spun rapidly, instantly turning the drawn-in spiritual spring into rain.

Nourished by the spring water, the Biling Grass gradually regained its vitality, and the dewdrops on its leaves sparkled in the sunlight.

After the divine rain is laid, the rain will continue for a while before you can hear it, but the compass will no longer be needed.

The egret was then returned to the fat manager.

"You can see that the spiritual herbs and grains are short of water, why don't you arrange for someone else to irrigate them? What if they really die from drought!"

Such a large piece of land—at least twenty acres—if she were to carry buckets of water to irrigate it, she would either be exhausted or run out of spiritual energy by the time she finished. She had already found it somewhat strenuous when she was at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, let alone now!

So there was a hint of resentment in his voice.

The fat steward's eyes widened immediately. He'd really grown up to be complaining about him!
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I still couldn't find you after collecting all these spirit fruits today, I would definitely send someone else over—what's wrong with you! You're nowhere to be seen every day!"

The fat steward carefully put away the compass and the flashlight; these things could be used unexpectedly when facing an enemy.

As for Bai Lu, he used to want to stay in the sect every day, but these days he can't be found at all. Could it be that he has changed his mind and is going out to train?

How could that be?!

Bailu continued, "Manager Liu, I was just about to tell you that I'm thinking of quitting this job."

"What do you want to do if you quit?"

The fat steward glanced at her, but quickly realized, "That's right, you really need to hurry up and cultivate now—with your current aptitude, how come you're still only at the first level of Qi Refining?"

He looked Bailu up and down, and even though his face was as chubby as a steamed bun, Bailu could still sense a hint of disappointment in his expression.

She was speechless for a moment, her heart clenching slightly: "Do you think I wanted this? I'd much rather reach Foundation Establishment tomorrow!"

What do you take her for?

Rocket?
Can you fly by sitting down?

Besides, she wants to reach the Foundation Establishment stage more than anyone else! Anyone else!
The fact that she hadn't been able to establish her foundation for so many years had almost become a mental obsession for her.

But can she calm down and cultivate?
Manual farming is almost killing her, and her cultivation has even regressed!
Isn't she pitiful enough?

"Then what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and start cultivating—your hair! I told you to go buy hair growth pills, why haven't you gone yet?!"

Looking at Bai Lu's spiky hair, the fat steward always felt that she was dragging down the overall appearance of their Bu Liu Xing Sect.

"I'd like to buy some too, but I don't have any spirit stones!" Bai Lu smiled slightly, stretched out her hands, and chuckled, "Manager Liu, could you lend me some spirit stones?"

The pills in the Pill Pavilion can be exchanged with points or bought with spirit stones, and it is cheaper to buy them with points than with spirit stones.

But how many points or spirit stones could someone like Bai Lu, who is a shut-in all year round and has not made any significant contributions to the sect, possibly have?

Over the years, I've barely managed to survive. I've devoted all my energy to Foundation Establishment, and I still failed!
She's spent all her money, hasn't built a foundation, and there aren't many transmigrators who are as miserable as her!
"Borrow spirit stones? No."

Upon hearing this, the fat steward turned and left without hesitation.

"Lend me some money!" Bailu followed closely behind, maintaining her shameless attitude as a borrower: "I'll pay you back!"

The fat steward remained unmoved: "You're not even doing the work at the spirit field anymore, how are you going to repay me?"

"A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence. We haven't seen each other for quite some time now, have you forgotten again..."

The egret touched the location of its dantian, the place where its spiritual root was located.

Perhaps because he had oppressed Bailu for too many years, the fat steward would occasionally forget that she was no longer the same person she used to be. He stopped in his tracks and finally asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

The egret stretched out a hand.

Five low-grade spirit stones? That's acceptable!

You can give it to her!

Bai Lu was so angry she almost made a meme: "Five low-grade spirit stones aren't enough! The Pill Pavilion's hair growth pills require thirty low-grade spirit stones!"

"So you want to borrow five hundred?!" The fat manager's deep voice turned shrill.

The egret chuckled and stretched its hand even closer: "Mmm!"

The fat manager was extremely distressed, but after careful consideration, he still lent it to her: "I hope I didn't bet on the wrong horse. You, right now, buy the hair growth pill and go back to cultivate. I need to see the results of your cultivation in seven days. Otherwise, you'll have to water the plants for three months to repay this debt!"

"Thank you, manager!"

Bai Lu didn't say much. After borrowing the money, she ran away immediately, her movements so smooth and without any hesitation, leaving the fat manager standing there with his fat hand outstretched.

Oh no, I already have the feeling that I'll never get the spirit stones I just lent out back!

The sect does not remain in the Dan Pavilion.

In the world of cultivation, there is no such thing as "getting off work". Even though it is already eleven o'clock, there are still many disciples of the Pill Pavilion refining pills. Naturally, there are people selling pills. Bai Lu bought the pills and immediately returned to her dormitory. Within two minutes of taking the pills, she gained a head of long, black, shiny, and straight hair that reached her waist.

Bai Lu ran her hand through her hair, looking at the beautiful young woman in the mirror with waist-length hair and flawless skin. She felt a little unaccustomed to it, but—

I look better with long hair!

Little did they know, Bai Wei and Bai Chen were so shocked by the sight of her visibly growing hair that their CPUs were about to overheat.

That eerie feeling... Family members, does anyone understand?
Bai Lu admired her own beauty and began to take stock of all her possessions. All she had was a thousand low-grade spirit stones. If you didn't count the one the fat steward had just given her... After struggling and barely surviving for over ten years, she had only managed to save up five hundred low-grade spirit stones. Throughout history, she must have been one of the most unambitious transmigrators.

You only realize how little money you have when you need it!

She had tried to earn money before, even designing dormitories for the sect's disciples using her old skills, which earned her a little money. She spent it all on pills, hoping to improve her cultivation. Who knew she would consume too many pills and get poisoned by them!
The accumulated erysipelas had blocked half of her meridians.

Her damned useless five spiritual roots made it harder for her to expel even pill toxins than others. After she completely expelled the pill toxins from her body, a year had passed. From then on, apart from the Bigu Pill which was free of pill toxins, she never bought any low-grade pills again, nor did she eat any grains.

The spiritual rice and plants he ate were all grown by himself using his position.

Half of it was given to the fat steward, which is why he turned a blind eye. But that's also why she ate like crazy when she got home; there was just too little spirit rice to steal!
We're not getting enough to eat! We're not getting enough to eat at all!
Bailu took out all the old items from the storage talisman: six old cell phones, two old tablets, three high-powered flashlights, an old portable TV, and a power bank.

The few belongings they possessed looked particularly meager.

She sighed, then put everything away and activated the dormitory's protective array and spirit-gathering array. The abundant spiritual energy of the Bu Liu Xing Sect flowed towards the dormitory in wisps, and Bai Lu sat cross-legged in meditation.

As she circulated her inner energy to absorb spiritual energy into her meridians and dantian, the Heavenly Spiritual Root from the modern world, which had never seen so much spiritual energy before, trembled with excitement and immediately absorbed the rich spiritual energy!
With spiritual energy surrounding her spiritual root, Bai Lu easily broke through to the second stage of Qi Refining. After one night, her cultivation stabilized at the late stage of the second stage of Qi Refining. If given a few more days, reaching the third stage of Qi Refining would be a piece of cake!
Her lost cultivation is about to return!
"No wonder Heavenly Spiritual Roots are so sought after in the cultivation world. With this cultivation speed, it's practically like the heavens are chasing after them to feed them!"

Bai Lu clenched his fist and sighed, "If I spent half a month of the month cultivating immortality, wouldn't I be able to run rampant when I returned to the modern world?!"

"Senior Sister Bailu, where are you going to run rampant like a tyrant?!"

Zhu Lanlan's voice rang out from outside the door, followed by a knock: "Am I coming in?"

"Come in." Bailu glanced around her room and, finding nothing that could be hidden, said, "Why so early? Is something the matter?"

"Hey! Senior sister, your hair!"

Zhu Lanlan skipped over and sat down next to Bailu. She curled her fingers and ran them through Bailu's hair, the smooth, silky black hair slipping from her fingertips.

"The senior sister with long hair is the prettiest! Let me do your hair into a bun!"

With nimble fingers, she quickly styled her hair into a beautiful bun. Zhu Lanlan then asked, "What are you wearing today?"

"It's purple, isn't it!"

To my shame, besides her disciple's robes, Bai Lu doesn't own many other robes.

"Alright!" Zhu Lanlan took out a purple hairband from her storage talisman and put it on Bailu. "Okay, Senior Sister looks so pretty!"

"Thank you, Lanlan!" Bailu was delighted, touching her hair and involuntarily raising the corners of her mouth.

"Why are you being so polite with me, senior sister!" Zhu Lanlan said, linking her arm with Bai Lu's. "Hurry up and wash up, we have to go!"

"Huh?" Bai Lu was taken aback. "Where are you going?"

"Didn't we agree to audit a class at the Zhen Court? You wanted me to call you!"

Egret likes to stay in bed a bit longer, and sometimes when she can't get up on her own, she wants someone to help her get up.

"Really? But I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I can't go with you! I'm sorry, Lanlan!"

Bai Lu blinked; she really couldn't remember anything about auditing classes.

After all, this was a year before the sect was destroyed, and she really didn't remember much about things that happened so long ago.

Outer disciples have many restrictions within the sect. They have their own courses and their own teachers. There are teachers giving classes every day. Even if you are a senior disciple who has been in the outer sect for ten years, you can still attend classes. However, if you want to audit classes in the inner sect, you can only do so on the inner sect's open day.

They are only allowed to leave for one day every ten days, and only with the approval and recommendation of an outer sect teacher.

"I see... Okay!"

Although Zhu Lanlan was a little puzzled, she respected Bailu and tilted her head slightly: "Senior sister, I feel like you've been acting strange lately. Did something happen? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Bai Lu immediately looked at her and gently placed her hand on the back of her hand: "Lanlan, do you have any spirit stones? Senior sister is short of spirit stones right now!"

Zhu Lanlan: "..."

She immediately pulled her hand back—

Talking about money really hurts feelings!
But she still lent Bai Lu two hundred low-grade spirit stones. Although it hurt a little, since it was more than a month's salary, she couldn't refuse because Bai Lu was her senior sister who had always taken good care of her!
……

After Zhu Lanlan left, Bailu packed up and went to the market.

She put on makeup. The art of disguise in China is not to be underestimated. Her current appearance is not exactly the same as the original, but it is completely unrelated to the original. The only thing they have in common is that they are both beautiful.

—Of course, the egret can't let itself die of ugliness! Since it's going to change its appearance, it should at least get a beautiful new look!

The market where the egrets came was a trading place exclusively for cultivators in a small town of the Bu Liu Xing Sect.

The market was bustling with people, and cultivators of all kinds were moving about. The market had all sorts of spiritual artifacts, pills, and rare and precious materials. Many cultivators came here to buy cultivation materials, while others were looking for some strange and unusual things.

Bai Lu had already told Bai Chen and the others that she would sleep in her room all day. If Qin Xiu and Bai Jiang tried to find her, they would have to improvise. The worst-case scenario would be that her parents would find her unresponsive and have to take her to the hospital.

It's okay, it's a minor issue.

Standing in the bustling cultivation market, watching the vendors promoting their goods just like in modern times, she suddenly felt—

No matter where you are or what your status is, you are still living life.

it's the same.

They're like cattle and horses everywhere!

Bai Lu sighed inwardly, then went to the stall management office and rented a small stall for one hour for two low-grade spirit stones. Why one hour? Because the price would be five low-grade spirit stones starting from the second hour.

The egret decided to observe the effects first.

Her stall displayed items brought from the modern world: flashlights, old cell phones, old tablets, power banks—all old, making it look like a secondhand market. The main appeal was its novelty; nothing in the cultivation world had ever seen such things.

Moreover, judging from its appearance, it's impossible to tell what kind of magical artifact it is.

Bai Lu's stall was a small, inconspicuous discount stall on the edge of the market. She was dressed in a simple purple casual outfit, which, despite its simplicity, made her stand out in the crowd with its fresh and refined look. She was quite a beauty herself!
