Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The Happiest Day of Life!

“Science? What science!”

“This is clearly the Five Ghosts Moving Technique!”

President Huang looked at the empty factory and thought about how the bulk materials, which had even been moved with electric forklifts, had just vanished.

What immediately came to mind was not the Sleeve Universe but the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, notorious for theft within the crooked paths!

There was no helping it, the style of the Rat Taoist was just like this, even in the eyes of President Huang and other registered disciples, it never seemed impressive.

It was always either with rats or with little ghosts.

Only suited for something as crooked as the Five Ghosts Moving Technique.

“Alright, stop shouting so loudly, we’ve got it under control,” said Lu Dahu, stopping the shouting security captain in his tracks.

The captain was one of their own, and had been mostly shouting out of a fear of being blamed. Upon hearing this, he calmed down immediately.

However, inside, the captain and some close associates of President Huang’s group started to think of them as profoundly mysterious.

And this sense of mystery was indeed something President Huang and his group intentionally cultivated.

The art of leading others by bluffing—they were very familiar with it.

On their road to rise, they had used this tactic countless times.

Moreover, they were now the only certified heirs as registered disciples of the Bone Burying Ground, so it wasn’t exactly deception.

Having confirmed that the Rat Taoist had used their transcendent abilities to take away the supplies,

President Huang and his group were at ease and began to invest in Gad City as planned.

One by one, they registered trade companies involved with relevant materials.

The mayor of Gad City, who had participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, sensed something amiss.

But after feeling the cash inside the thick envelope he had just accepted, he revealed a plain and simple smile and signed his approval on the documents.

People willing to invest in this remote and unremarkable place of Gad City were mostly attracted by the local power struggles, where nobody interfered with anyone else, right?

In the mayor’s view, as long as these trade companies didn’t involve illegal mental drugs and weaponry but merely transported some medical ingredients and lumber, along with bulk materials, they were already commendably ethical companies!

Why worry so much then? Should he drive them away and wait to be politically devoured by his opposition?

Of course, the mayor ensured that his side would not act against these Eastern investors.

If other powers requested their information, as long as the price was right, the mayor would sell it without mistake.

…

Su Ping returned to the Immortal Cultivation World with a full load of supplies.

Then, he only had a couple of peaceful days.

Su Ping soon received an urgent communication from the Immortal Sect, commanding an increase in vigilance and patrolling in their jurisdiction.

Especially to be on the lookout for traces of Evil Cultivators, with immediate reporting rewarded.

Su Ping keenly sensed that the Evil Cultivators must have orchestrated some major incident again.

Indeed, that afternoon, an urgent letter from a brother of the Immortal Sect reached Su Ping’s hands.

Opening it, it turned out that a significant incident had occurred in Golden Sword City, which Su Ping had passed by en route to the island.

In Golden Sword City, initially, an Inner Sect junior master uncle and a few elite Outer Sect disciples had gone there to ambush an Evil Cultivator.

Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the Evil Cultivator in Golden Sword City!

After a fierce battle, the Evil Cultivator was exterminated.

But it also resulted in the junior master uncle being critically injured and all the Outer Sect disciples perished.

It was heard that nearly half of Golden Sword City was destroyed, with countless casualties!

Now, several Great Compassionates, having heard of the incident, were rushing there, seemingly to hold a comforting Magic Meeting.

“It’s indeed a man-made disaster.”

“The anomaly I sensed last time, could it have been that Inner Sect junior master uncle and his disciples?”

“But after such a disturbance, it seems Golden Sword City might not recover its primordial qi for a year or two.”

Su Ping gently shook his head in pity for their misfortune, but also felt fortunate that he had prudently escaped a calamity once more!

Su Ping wrote a thank-you letter back to his brother, enclosing the fee for the urgency in the envelope.

Afterward, Su Ping lost interest in cultivation and simply took half a day off, changing into casual clothes and heading to Golden Sparrow City.

At this time, the most intense fragrance within and outside Golden Sparrow City was that of incense fire.

Wealthy families all invited Sealing Magic Artifacts to their homes for day and night tributes.

The noble families even went so far as to build temples and let their house servants and hired farmers pay homage.

It was now the obsessed period after the Magic Meeting, and people were using the incense burners lavishly, filling the streets with a faint scent of incense.

After wandering for a while, Su Ping realized that, having reconnected with his hometown’s information network, the novelty of the ancient city was rapidly fading.

Even visiting brothels to listen to music could no longer attract him.

Unless those female cultivators with Strange Techniques were performing, merely watching the scene in his view was still not as relieving as playing games back in his hometown.

Su Ping ran to the City Lord Mansion and notified the City Lord of the Immortal Sect’s alert, handing over this heavy responsibility to him thereafter.

Feeling bored, Su Ping simply returned to Pot Cave Heaven and formally started his grand agriculture project.

Inside Pot Cave Heaven, Su Ping, acting as the chief commander, stood next to the Stone Lion, conducting the most important commands.

White Crane Child, serving as a worker, tilled one acre of land as per Su Ping’s request, then subdivided it into plots of varying sizes.

Su Ping took out his storage bag and poured out the spirit soil he had borrowed from the Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.

After that, Su Ping carefully extracted the medicinal materials offered by President Huang and six others.

Not trusting White Crane Child, Su Ping personally selected some of the best-looking medicinal materials that might survive and replanted them.

He waved his hand to take out Spirit Water to spray, and tore up a Ten Thousand Wood Revitalization Talisman worth two Spirit Stones for these medicinal materials to complete this experiment.

Simultaneously, Su Ping planted Spirit Rice on another piece of vacant land.

Similar to the steps taken by Little Taoist Zhouxuan, the biggest difference this time was that Su Ping used core agricultural technology from his hometown: fertilizer!

Agricultural production with and without fertilizer yields completely different outcomes.

Su Ping did not know if this would be effective for the Spirit Rice crops in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Either way, trying it would not be a loss!

Thinking of Spirit Rice reminded him of the Spirit Grass that Little Taoist Zhouxuan had been tasked to cultivate during the last assessment.

Moved by the thought, Su Ping asked White Crane Child to spread his wings and fly over.

Currently, Little Taoist Zhouxuan and a civet cat had been staying in the backyard of Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion for about ten days.

It must be said that Zhouxuan was a true Cultivation Taoist Seed, practicing Alchemy, watering, fertilizing daily, in addition to his three meals and three sessions of cultivation practices.

Living in a thatched hut, surviving only on dry food and cold water.

Yet he was perfectly content, not finding the days in any way dull.

“This one understands the way of cultivation,” Su Ping mused internally, then turned his gaze to the two plots of farmland next to the thatched hut.

At that moment, the Spirit Grass in the fields was thriving quite favorably.

Su Ping compared this with the Spirit Grass in his memory and descriptions from relevant books.

It appeared that this batch of Spirit Grass had not grown incorrectly.

Rather, because of the intense concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Pot Cave Heaven and the absence of pests or diseases.

Both quality and yield per acre were two to three times higher than those outside the usual workshop!

Su Ping nodded in satisfaction.

With a move of his Object Manipulation Technique, he handed two small bags of Spirit Rice seeds to White Crane Child.

Su Ping planned to have Little Taoist Zhouxuan harvest the Spirit Grass and then plant the Spirit Rice, to see if the fertilizer really worked as a comparison.

And Little Taoist Zhouxuan would naturally not refuse the task given by White Crane Child.

In his eyes, it was another test given by the Immortal from Yunlai Immortal Realm!

As long as he could continue his cultivation, Zhouxuan would not fear more of such tests.

For him,

every day spent in Yunlai Immortal Realm farming and practicing Alchemy was the happiest day of his life!
