Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Jiang Yunxing arrived at Lingtian.

He told Lin Xuan and Li Buxing to finish their work and continue sowing after dinner.

The two men accepted the order and followed behind Jiang Yun.

There is a stone table outside the kitchen.

Just as Jiang Yun was about to bring the food, the two of them rushed over.

"Sit down," Jiang Yun gestured.

"No, no, we wouldn't dare." Lin Xuan and Li Buxing were flattered and quickly waved their hands.

"It's alright, please sit down," Jiang Yun said. "I don't have that many rules here."

"Thank you, Steward." Lin Xuan and Li Buxing immediately expressed their gratitude and sat down awkwardly opposite Jiang Yun.

"There's no need to keep calling me 'manager'," Jiang Yun suggested. "My cultivation is higher than yours, so just call me Brother Jiang from now on."

Lin Xuan and Li Buxing were somewhat apprehensive.

It was clear that Jiang Yun had no airs of superiority whatsoever, and they all greeted him in unison, "Brother Jiang."

Jiang Yun picked up her chopsticks. "Let's eat first."

Lin Xuan and Li Buxing were exhausted after a long day and were starving.

Without thinking twice, they wolfed down their food.

"Brother Jiang, your roast chicken is delicious, the taste is absolutely amazing!" Li Buxing ate a piece of chicken and praised it highly.

"It's really delicious!" Lin Xuan nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Yun asked with a smile, "How old are you?"

"I'm 25 years old, and I'm at the third level of Qi Refining," Li Buxing answered first.

Lin Xuan put down his chopsticks and bowl. "I'm a year younger than him, and I'm also at the third level of Qi Refining."

"How many years have you been working as a spirit farmer for the Jiang family?"

"More than ten years," Lin Xuan recalled. "When I was a child, my family was poor, and my parents couldn't afford to raise me."

"It just so happened that the Jiang family was recruiting children with spiritual roots, so my parents sent me to the Jiang family to test my spiritual roots."

"I never imagined I would have four spiritual roots, and then my parents sold me to the Jiang family."

At this point, Lin Xuan was quite emotional, and also somewhat saddened.

"Like Lin Xuan, I was also sold to the Jiang family," Li Buxing interjected. "Later, the Jiang family passed on their cultivation techniques to me and arranged for me to become a spirit farmer."

Jiang Yun understood.

As a member of the Jiang family, he naturally knew the ins and outs of this.

Children with spiritual roots but poor aptitude can be bought for a few taels of silver.

They would be forced to serve as slaves in the Jiang family for fifty years.

However, the Jiang family will impart cultivation techniques, allowing these children to embark on the path to immortality.

"Then you won't receive a salary?"

"Yes, but it's practically the same as not having any," Li Buxing sighed. "We get two spirit stone fragments every month, which adds up to two spirit stones a year."

One low-grade spirit stone is equal to twelve spirit stone fragments.

Li Buxing and Lin Xuan work as spirit farmers here, receiving only two spirit stones as a salary each year.

Jiang Yun was sent here by his family, so he must also receive a salary.

He just didn't know how much his salary would be.

We won't know until next month when salaries are paid.

We chatted for a while.

Jiang Yun and Lin Xuan and Li Buxing have become close friends.

He got down to business, asking, "Who was the previous guardian of this land? What was their cultivation level?"

"Feng Hongxu, an outer disciple of the Jiang family, is over fifty years old and has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining." Li Buxing answered without reservation.

Sixth level of Qi Refining?

Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised.

He is also at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

It seems this place is indeed a bit dangerous; we need to be careful!

"Oh." Jiang Yun said calmly, "Was he killed by the Chen family or the Song family?"

"The Chen family, Chen Zhu of the Chen family."

Lin Xuan replied:

"Chen Zhu is also at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but he has a powerful mid-grade magic weapon."

"Yes," Li Buxing said with emotion, "Back then, Feng Hongxu and Chen Zhu were evenly matched in their magical duel."

"But Feng Hongxu only had a low-grade magic weapon, and he was no match for Chen Zhu and was killed."

Jiang Yun pressed further, "What kind of mid-grade magic artifact? Do you know anything about it?"

"I don't know." Lin Xuan shook his head. "All we saw was a magic weapon that looked like a short stick."

"I see." Jiang Yun asked curiously, "How did you survive after Feng Hongxu was killed?"

Li Buxing and Lin Xuan looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, Li Buxing replied:

"Chen Zhu didn't kill us. He wanted us to continue harvesting the spirit rice and hand over the harvested spirit rice to him."

Lin Xuan sighed, "We were forced to do as they said. Only after our family's support arrived did the Chen family retreat."

Jiang Yun then understood the whole story and took the opportunity to ask, "Did the Song family send anyone to rob us?"

"No," Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Chen Zhu is only twenty miles away from us. He came to rob us first, so the Song family didn't come."

"Twenty li, that's quite close." Jiang Yun looked up into the distance. "In which direction are the outer spirit fields of the Chen and Song families?"

Li Buxing replied, "The Chen family is to our north, about twenty li away; the Song family is to our south, about thirty li away."

"What is the name of the Song family's field keeper? What level of cultivation does he possess?"

"We only know his name is Song Feipeng, but we don't know his specific cultivation level."

"I see."

Jiang Yun nodded.

After some questioning, he learned a lot of useful information.

Furthermore, after some discussion...

Jiang Yun discovered that Li Buxing and Lin Xuan were not particularly cunning.

This is understandable, as the two of them had lived in seclusion for many years, working as spirit farmers in the Xiyu Mountains, and their nature was naturally simple and pure.

This meal took a long time to finish.

There was not a single dish left.

After washing the pots and dishes, Lin Xuan and Li Buxing went to work in the spirit field.

When Lingnong was busy, he was never idle for a moment.

Jiang Yun returned to the wooden house alone and meditated quietly.

"Just because things are peaceful now doesn't mean they'll be peaceful later."

"When the spirit rice matures, Chen Zhu and Song Feipeng may make a move, so I need to be prepared."

……

The next morning.

Jiang Yuncai opened his eyes and went outside to take a look.

They discovered that Lin Xuan and Li Buxing had already begun sowing seeds in the spirit field.

With nothing to do.

Jiang Yun began practicing magic.

At the same time, refine the low-grade magic weapon, the Golden Mystic Needle.

Although it is a low-grade magic weapon, it can be used in conjunction with concealment techniques to achieve the effect of a mid-grade magic weapon by surprise.

Jiang Yun used a concealment technique, making his body transparent, and swaggered to the spirit field, passing by Lin Xuan and Li Buxing.

Neither Lin Xuan nor Li Buxing noticed anything.

After passing through the spiritual field, Jiang Yun arrived at the nearby dense forest.

Facing a thick, large tree, he swiftly unleashed the Golden Needle while in stealth mode.

The next moment, the Golden Needle suddenly flew out from his sleeve and pierced through the tree.

A small hole suddenly appeared in the thick tree root, leading directly to the other side.

"Even if they are cultivators of the same level, if they cannot detect my concealment, they will never return!"

They would rather win by surprise than by direct confrontation.

Jiang Yun was very satisfied with the effect of combining the Concealment Technique with the Golden Needle.

A month later.

The family sent someone to deliver his salary and daily rations.

Lin Xuan and Li Buxing were as usual.

There are only two fragments of spirit stones.

Jiang Yun's salary consisted of two spirit stones and five catties of spirit rice.

He was somewhat disappointed by this.

This treatment is, to put it mildly, very poor.

His parents managed fishermen and farmers at Qixia Lake, and they received a monthly stipend of two spirit stones.

Qixia Lake is located in the heart of the family's territory, which is advantageous in terms of safety.

Jiang Yun's arrival in the Xiyu Mountains was extremely dangerous.

However, the salary was only five catties more spirit rice.
