Chapter 196: Chapter 132 Emperor Donghua
 

“`

Jiuhe City, Wine Department.

Yao Yi rode a Mutant Blood Horse and brought over a dozen mice to this place. Today was the first day of salary distribution, so he arrived early at the Wine Department to collect the salary owed to the Spiritual Department.

All fifteen mice were loaded with Spirit Stones and Spiritual Wine. Only then did he, smiling brightly, bring these Spirit Stones and Spiritual Wine back to the Spiritual Department.

Taking out the decree issued by the Housekeeper Mansion, he saw his name as the third on the list, and found to his surprise that he was allotted twelve thousand Spirit Stones a year!

This time, following the seasonal distribution, he received three thousand Spirit Stones and Spiritual Wine equivalent to one thousand Spirit Stones.

Far exceeding the treatment outside!

He was only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement!

Twelve thousand Spirit Stones, enough to drink Spiritual Wine daily for cultivation, and still have leftover to buy a Gu insect.

In the outside world, eight thousand Spirit Stones a year would be considered excellent, and that was usually for direct descendants.

Of course, here, he felt he was the direct descendant.

He joined when the power was just forming; if he wasn't the direct descendant, who was?

“Cultivation looks promising, cultivation looks promising. With these Spirit Stones, I am confident I can reach Foundation Establishment by the age of thirty!”

Distributing each person's share of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Wine, everyone was all smiles.

Yao Yi laughed, “Now that we've received our pay, let me treat you all. Let's go to the Drunken Immortal Tower in the city, to drink to our heart's content, and wish the lord eternal prosperity in his immortal journey!”

Hearing Yao Yi's words, everyone immediately became excited.

Today, the Drunken Immortal Tower was almost entirely booked by different halls of the Spiritual Department.

The whole Drunken Immortal Tower buzzed with a lively atmosphere, but the only regret among them was the lack of young ladies singing.

This wasn't surprising, as this place, deep within Iron Flow Valley, was comparable to a secluded immortal cultivation sect. Which immortal cultivation sect would indulge in things that disturb one's Dao heart in its core?

Wei Qingchen sat in the Housekeeper Mansion, organizing different affairs during the day, while evening was his time for cultivation.

“Arrange for people to first send the Spiritual Wine to the eighteen clans guarding various Spirit Stone veins outside. The Spirit Stones can be stored in Jiuhe City, to be distributed one by one when they come for the alliance meeting.”

“Spirit Stones can be delayed, but cultivation resources must not be.”

“Additionally, purchase another street in Cold Mountain City to sell Spiritual Wine. We now have an excess of Spiritual Wine, far beyond our cultivation needs, so it's time to sell some.”

“Moreover, it's time to determine the attire representing our Iron Flow Valley. Invite Mr. Bai over; I should discuss this with him.”

“Once there's a conclusion, report to the lord!”

Chen Qing got up early and strolled around the ice cellar beneath the City Lord's Mansion.

He found that even after using a considerable amount to brew wine and distribute salaries, there was still a heap of Spiritual Medicine like a small mountain left, finally feeling satisfied.

He collected over a thousand pounds in his sleeve and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to prepare his breakfast.

First, eat one thousand pounds of Spiritual Medicine!

After the Snake Butterfly Union, eating felt like a dragon sucking water, and as a thousand pounds of Spiritual Medicine went down, Chen Qing felt the spiritual energy within his body almost overflowing, thus beginning his cultivation.

Three hours later, Chen Qing opened his eyes with a touch of joy, “It's apparent how much my cultivation level has increased.”

“This is what cultivation should be!”

“At this rate, I only need half a year to break through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment!”

“While it takes common cultivators decades of painstaking practice to reach the mid Foundation Establishment stage, for me, it takes only half a year!”

As dusk approached, he initially planned to explore the Linglong Divine Palace to see if he could find any stronger medicinal seed than the Spiritual Medicine, but recalling the evening gathering, he abandoned this thought.

“Hmm, there's still time, let's get another thousand pounds of Spiritual Medicine to cultivate with!”

After consuming another thousand pounds of Spiritual Medicine, Chen Qing cultivated for three more hours before deciding to go for a stroll.

Walking through the fields for a while, Chen Qing analyzed, “Spirit Ginseng has had a more noticeable effect on my cultivation progress.”

“Other Spiritual Medicines still don't compare to Spirit Ginseng. Unfortunately, the Soul Stealing Flower can only grow in the wild; otherwise, I should plant Soul Stealing Flowers.”

“For the next batch, we should plant a large amount of Spirit Ginseng.”

“The All Things Grow technique is truly useful, allowing Spirit Ginseng, which usually requires four seasons to accumulate medicinal properties, to grow in one season, albeit with slightly weaker medicinal properties.”

“Winter makes it impossible to directly plant Spirit Ginseng, but we can plant Ice Soul Flowers instead. The Ice Soul Flower grows by absorbing cold energy, originally needing three winters to mature, but here it only takes one season.”

“Considering this, medicinal plants that usually take three years to mature only take one season here, increasing income significantly.”

As he flipped through the books left by the Great Witch, Chen Qing increasingly sensed their vast depth.

Once understood, his grasp of the All Things Grow technique would rise, allowing more skillful applications.

Which means, more Spirit Stones!

Naturally, the main reason was: this was far faster than robbing outside!

Watching the Spiritual Plant Hall cultivators bustling about in the fields or returning drunkenly from the Drunken Immortal Tower, Chen Qing looked at them and saw each as a treasure.

Under the effect of All Things Grow, each person could be used as three or even four.

The extras all belonged to Chen Qing!

Previously, seeing so many people relying on him for their livelihood, Chen Qing only felt a headache, wondering where to find enough Spirit Stones to distribute to them.

Now he just felt there were too few people.

He believed more would be better. At this moment, his thoughts coincided with the Spirit Plant Elder's.

Fighting and killing really weren't interesting.

He had almost three thousand fighters under his care!

Upon realizing his power was just forming and he needed protection, Chen Qing dismissed these thoughts.
