My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

"Who cares!"

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and carefully put away the two pills.

This Seven-Scarred Spirit-Burning Pill is a true treasure. After taking it, one's cultivation level can be raised by one small rank in a short period of time, and there will be no major side effects after the effects wear off.

At most, I'll just have a bit of a headache and a throbbing in my head.

This is the best-selling low-grade pill in the Nine Yang Pill Cauldron Sect, and its popularity is almost on par with the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Its demand far exceeds that of Foundation Building Pills by many times.

This is a genuine precious pill; even if its price doubles on the black market, you might not be able to buy it.

On the third day, a steward from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived and delivered the spiritual artifact that Wei Jing had been awarded for his inner sect assessment.

"Huh, it's actually a storage bag!" Wei Jing exclaimed in surprise, unable to contain his smile.

"Haha, it seems that Junior Nephew Wei is quite satisfied with this," the middle-aged deacon laughed.

"I'm quite satisfied. I'm surprised that such a good thing as a storage bag was still around at the end," Wei Jing said truthfully.

Because it involves spatial arrays, the inscriptions on these arrays are always the most profound and obscure. Making the storage bag also requires the leather of a second-tier demon beast, and the materials are also precious.

This has led to the high price of storage bags. Even the lowest-grade first-tier storage bag might be too expensive for Wei Jing to afford, even if he spent all 500 sect contribution points he earned in a month.

"The top ten disciples of the inner sect don't lack storage bags," the steward explained.

This gave Wei Jing a deeper understanding of the Qingfu Sect's immense wealth and power.

After seeing off the deacon from the Enforcement Hall, Wei Jing held the storage bag in his hand, and his mind was immediately drawn into it. Even though it was a low-grade first-level storage bag, it still had an independent space of 2m×2m×2m inside.

"Two cubic meters of space is not bad." Wei Jing smiled and put all the odds and ends on his body into his storage bag.

……

With the inner sect exam over, Wei Jing intended to return to peace and focus all his attention on cultivation.

After all, there's that annoying guy Chu Feibai lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a sneak attack on him. If he's not careful, his schemes might succeed.

Therefore, Wei Jing felt a sense of urgency.

If he were a true disciple, Chu Feibai would probably not dare to be so presumptuous.

But the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; Wei Jing was determined to cultivate diligently.

Unfortunately, this newcomer rose to prominence too quickly, and in the next month or two, he was frequently visited by people.

There were both inner and outer disciples, which greatly bothered Wei Jing.

Wei Jing then instructed Ma Liudao: "If anyone comes to visit again, refuse them all and say that I have already gone into seclusion."

Wei Jing is truly preparing for seclusion; he intends to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining in one go.

With abundant medicinal resources, it would be a waste not to go into seclusion and cultivate.

Just then, Ma Liu came to report: "Young Master Wei, inner disciple Qu Sancun has come to visit."

"What's he doing here?" Wei Jing muttered.

This man visited Wei Jing once half a month ago, and the two had a very pleasant conversation.

"No, no, just say I'm in seclusion." Wei Jing waved his hand. He had just instructed Ma Liu to say that he was going into seclusion, and he couldn't break the rules right away.

"Young Master Wei, Young Master Qu said there's a business deal he wants to do with you?"

"Oh!" Wei Jing's eyes lit up.

"Please come in quickly!" What rules and regulations? There are only rules when there's money to be made.

Before long, a short, even slightly timid fellow strode in, and Wei Jing heard his hearty laughter even before he entered the door.

"Haha! It's been a long time since I've seen Junior Brother Wei."

Wei Jing quickly went to meet him. Qu Sancun was indeed as his name suggested; he was short, barely reaching Wei Jing's chest.

However, Wei Jing did not dare to underestimate his opponent, because this person was the fourth in the inner sect.

With his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining, what surprised Wei Jing even more was that this Senior Brother Qu was a remarkable person, specializing in the Five Elements Escape Technique.

His short stature, coupled with his cowardly and timid appearance, made him, to be honest, quite sleazy.

He relied on his stealth skills to outmaneuver the stone spirit puppets in Meteor Valley and perfectly pass the sixth level.

Last time, Wei Jing discussed escape techniques with him until late at night. Qu Sancun didn't hold back and shared all the key information on how to pass the sixth level of Meteor Valley.

This brought Wei Jing considerable benefits.

"Senior Brother Qu, what brings you to my cave today? Did the matter we discussed last time come to fruition?" Wei Jing's eyes flickered, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

"That's right, I've acquired those twenty acres of second-tier spirit fields outside the Wutong Forest." Qu Sancun patted his chest.

"Junior Brother Wei comes from the Wei family of Jiangzuo, and I trust your family's traditional skills in cultivating spiritual plants."

"Haha!" Wei Jing laughed loudly and said:

"Senior Brother Qu, don't worry!"

The two then agreed to split the profits from the spirit field 50/50.

This is twenty acres of second-tier spirit fields. You should know that even the renowned Jiangzuo Wei family only has a hundred acres of second-tier spirit fields.

Second-tier spirit fields can grow second-tier Azure Spring Rice, whose grains glow with golden light and spiritual energy. Even Foundation Establishment elders who consume it regularly will see an increase in their cultivation level.

Therefore, the price is extremely high.

"Oh, by the way, I also took over the Azure Lake next to the second-tier spirit field. Besides planting spirit rice, do you know how to raise spirit fish?" Qu Sancun asked.

"What a coincidence, there is indeed someone in my household who knows how to raise spirit fish."

"Oh! That's wonderful!" Qu Sancun was overjoyed and laughed heartily.

"Then let's not trouble each other with this matter; I'll entrust this Biyue Lake to you as well."

……

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the lake, making the Jade Lake shimmer and sparkle.

"Han Yue, I'm leaving this to you." Wei Jing patted Han Yue on the shoulder.

Han Yue is an old fisherman with decades of experience in raising spirit fish, so Wei Jing is quite at ease entrusting the task to him.

Han Yue swallowed hard. "I... I'll do my best!"

Goodness, when I was young, I helped the Li family, who were cultivating immortality, raise spirit fish. Compared to this Azure Lake, the Li family's waters were practically just a small pond.

He handed over Biyue Lake to Han Yue and granted him 800 sect contribution points to purchase spirit fish fry and aquaculture feed.

He himself then turned to cultivating the sacred fields.

These twenty acres of second-tier spirit fields are located on the edge of a second-tier spirit vein. The terrain is flat and the soil is fertile. It is also known how Qu Sancun bought them.

However, this was not something he should be considering; Wei Jing immediately used his earth-遁 (earth-遁术) technique.

In just two hours, he had thoroughly tilled all twenty acres of spiritual fields.

"Who says earth-遁术 (earth-遁术) is only for escaping? Farming is also a good method." Wei Jing chuckled.

Then, he cast the Spring Rain spell, a perfect level Spring Rain spell, which was enough to cover and irrigate the twenty acres of spiritual fields.

Finally, he used the Spirit Gathering and Qi Drawing Technique to draw the surrounding spiritual energy into the ground of the spirit field and bury it, which was equivalent to fertilizing the spirit field.

Although he hadn't planted spirit rice for many years, Wei Jing's movements were still skillful.

It took Wei Jing three days to plant all twenty acres of spiritual land with second-grade Bichun rice, and now all that's left is to wait for the autumn harvest.

After being busy for several days, I can't neglect my cultivation.

Wei Jing simply built a small shed next to the spirit field, where he usually cultivated.

Anyway, this place is a second-tier spiritual land, and the spiritual energy is rich enough.

"What a pity, it would be even better if we could set up a few spirit-gathering arrays." Wei Jing looked at the newly sprouted rice seedlings in front of him and sighed.

For the next few months, Wei Jing lived a secluded life, cultivating his skills, farming, and practicing water escape techniques in the Biyue Lake.

And so the days went by.
