Step by Step Ascend to Immortality - Chapter 119 - 109 Cooperation

Chapter 119: Chapter 109 Cooperation

“When junior brother harvests vegetables from the field, how about getting some side dishes for senior brother? For example, peanuts, cold dishes, Chinese yam, rape, and so on are all excellent!”

Only then did Fang Mingyue explain his intention. He was eyeing the side dishes from Liu Suiyun’s field. “You also know that senior brother likes drinking, but drinking alone without dishes makes the wine less and less enjoyable. At least a few side dishes are needed. However, senior brother has already reached the great accomplishment stage of Foundation Establishment. Ordinary side dishes taste completely bland and have no taste at all. Only some side dishes with rich spiritual energy are needed…”

Fang Mingyue continued, “But side dishes with rich spiritual energy generally fall into two categories. One is spiritual medicines in the mountains that are several hundred or even a hundred years old. But in that case, not to mention senior brother, even the sect leader of our Lingxiao Sect can’t be so extravagant and wasteful. Moreover, those spiritual medicines may not taste good when eaten. The other method is the meat of powerful demonic beasts…”

“But although such wild game tastes good, it’s inevitable to get tired of eating the same thing every day. Second, it comes and goes. Sometimes there is an overabundance, and sometimes there is no taste of wild game for more than ten months. Junior brother wants to plant vegetables. That’s great! Senior brother’s happiness is entrusted to you. Of course, the price will definitely not let junior brother suffer.”

Liu Suiyun immediately said, “Senior brother, although I haven’t even started learning about spiritual cultivation of plants yet, as long as there are harvests from the field, I will definitely send a cart or two to senior brother!”

“That’s great! That’s great!” Fang Mingyue laughed heartily. “By the way, in addition to planting vegetables, is junior brother also planning to plant some spiritual grains? For example, rice and the like. It’s excellent for brewing wine.”

He pushed his advantage further and said, “Senior brother likes drinking. Presumably you are also very clear about this. Just like teacher’s wife can’t get good tea, senior brother here also can’t get any good wine. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the taste of the secular world becomes lighter and lighter. Now, famous wines in the secular world taste even more bland than plain water in senior brother’s mouth. Only the unintentionally obtained monkey wine has some taste. But in this way, senior brother is really short of wine!”

“Can junior brother plant a dozen or so acres of spiritual grains for senior brother? It must be excellent for brewing wine then!” Fang Mingyue said, “Senior brother provides the seeds. The spiritual grains on the market are not bad for enhancing cultivation and nourishing the body. But for brewing spiritual wine, it’s even worse than ordinary grains in the world. The seeds of spiritual grains that can really be used for brewing wine have been prepared by senior brother more than ten years ago!”

Fang Mingyue was so enthusiastic that it also gave Liu Suiyun an unexpected surprise. He didn’t expect that his plan to farm could receive such firm support from Fang Mingyue. “Senior brother, rest assured. Rest assured!”

When Fang Mingyue said goodbye, he also said, “Everything is entrusted to junior brother. Junior brother, rest assured that senior brother will not let you suffer. At that time, senior brother will give you great benefits!”

But not long after seeing Fang Mingyue off, Chen Xingrui, the second senior brother, appeared in front of Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun again. “Junior brother, please wait!”

“Second senior brother.” Liu Suiyun guessed that his intention was similar to that of the eldest senior brother. “I don’t know what kind of dishes you like. I’ll plant some in the field for you.”

Chen Xingrui came from a wealthy family. Hearing this, he smiled. “Junior brother, although senior brother is one or two years younger than you in age, senior brother has enjoyed countless times more worldly pleasures than you. What kind of dishes haven’t I eaten! I came to you to talk about cooperation.”

“Cooperation?”

Chen Xingrui was indeed born into a wealthy family and had a great business sense. “Although teacher’s wife asked you to plant vegetables, I think planting vegetables has more prospects. If spiritual vegetables are successfully grown, there can be several harvests a year! That’s all spirit stones. Spirit stones are rolling in!”

Liu Suiyun couldn’t help but laugh. “Senior brother is joking. Junior brother has no idea at all about how to plant vegetables or tea. I don’t know when I will succeed.”

“It’s okay. It’s okay!” Chen Xingrui was indeed a born businessman. “If junior brother needs seeds for any spiritual grass, spiritual vegetable, spiritual medicine, or spiritual grain, just ask me. I’ll get them all for you. If you need any tools related to spiritual cultivation, just ask me too. I believe you won’t trouble teacher’s wife for such small matters.”

Teacher’s wife is a great cultivator at the Golden Core stage. Who knows when she will become a Nascent Soul cultivator. If he went to trouble teacher’s wife for a few seeds, the entire Shenxiao Sect would probably laugh their heads off. Moreover, teacher’s wife’s help should be reserved for more important matters, such as teaching a few superior cultivation methods or rewarding a few spiritual swords. The value is countless times greater than a few spiritual grass seeds.

“Senior brother is right! But when can junior brother really get some harvest?”

And Chen Xingrui was indeed a famous multi-treasure cultivator in the entire Shenxiao Sect. He said, “How about senior brother providing all these for free? But when there is really a harvest, can second senior brother sell them on your behalf? Senior brother not only guarantees an absolutely fair price but also guarantees the lowest price purchase so that junior brother won’t suffer a loss.”

He had a business mind. “Junior brother is a rare talent. But since you want to concurrently cultivate so many cultivation methods and take care of the entire Tianwu Peak, you may be limited in energy. And selling these spiritual vegetables, spiritual grass, and spiritual grains is definitely not simple. Just the matter of getting paid back takes months of repeated efforts. Fortunately, senior brother has been influenced by his family since childhood and has many insights into business.”

He talked smoothly. “Although senior brother seems to be staying on Chonghua Peak all day now, there are more than a dozen properties outside. With a word, hundreds of spirit stones and several hundred people can be mobilized. Our cooperation is beneficial for both of us.”

Although Liu Suiyun had gained some experience in the business world with Yan Ruojiang, he still hadn’t officially entered the business field. Moreover, if he could really grow good tea, he would have to concurrently cultivate many methods such as spiritual cultivation, talisman-making, alchemy, sword refining, and extensive learning while also focusing on cultivating the Extreme Yuanhuang Thunder Forging Divine Record. He would be too busy. It’s better to leave the problem to professionals. “Then I’ll trouble senior brother!”

“Good! Good! Good!” As he spoke, Chen Xingrui had already taken out a scroll. “Junior brother, let’s draw up a contract now. Junior brother, rest assured. No matter whether junior brother succeeds on Tianwu Peak or not, senior brother’s investment doesn’t need to be returned by junior brother.”

Liu Suiyun took a few glances and then handed this scroll to Guo Huijun. Although Guo Huijun was a martial artist, she was extremely careful. She read it from beginning to end and finally discussed several details with Chen Xingrui. Chen Xingrui was indeed a straightforward person. Immediately, he picked up his pen and revised it according to Guo Huijun’s suggestions. Guo Huijun asked again, “Shouldn’t there be two copies of the contract? Junior brother Suiyun should also have a copy!”

“Good! Keep a copy for junior brother too!”

Guo Huijun asked again, “Second senior brother, if Suiyun has a great harvest on Lingwu Peak, you must be able to earn a lot of spirit stones!”

Chen Xingrui had the tone of a businessman. “Miss Guo, the spirit stones you invested in the early stage are definitely not a small number. And taking such a big risk, you must at least get your capital back. Besides, although I earn some hard-earned money, junior brother earns the real big profit!”

Liu Suiyun happily pressed his fingerprint on the contract. “Okay, second senior brother. I’ll need your help less in the future!”

“Good!” Chen Xingrui also smiled. “From now on, we are business partners!”

After seeing Chen Xingrui off, Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun continued to walk back. Even Guo Huijun said, “It seems that as long as you work hard in the vegetable field, the gains are really not small…”

The affirmation of Fang Mingyue and Chen Xingrui boosted Liu Suiyun’s confidence. Although he still knew nothing about spiritual cultivation of plants, both teacher’s wife and his two senior brothers were willing to invest in it. After success, they also promised great profits. But just when he was thinking about these details, he suddenly found himself surrounded by Guo Huijun. Guo Huijun also smiled and said, “I won’t ask why you chose to plant vegetables anymore?”

“Are you also interested in what to plant?” Liu Suiyun guessed and said, “Well, I’ll plant some according to your taste. The spicier, the better? And for the snacks you like, as long as they can be grown in the field, I’ll plant some!”

“No!” In the night wind, Guo Huijun only knew to hug Liu Suiyun. “No, those are not important. I just want you to plant some red beans…”

Liu Suiyun understood. What Guo Huijun wanted was just his thoughts.

Red beans grow in the south.

How many branches sprout in spring?

I hope you pick many.

This thing represents the deepest longing.

Chonghua Peak, after seeing off several distinguished guests, became quiet again.

When Guo Huijun left, she was was extremely happy being fed by Liu Suiyun. But she still made up her mind to go home. “I should also miss you and wait for you! Don’t forget about me and wait for me to come back! Whether we can be together in the end or not, I promise you that you are the only destination in my life.”

And Yunpeng Shangren’s departure also carried a sense of sadness. Although it was only because of the favor of teaching the Extreme Yuanhuang Thunder Forging Divine Record, when seeing the old figure disappear in the clouds, Liu Suiyun was also extremely sad. He could feel Yunpeng Shangren’s care for him.

Yunpeng Shangren had invested too much affection in Liu Suiyun. He was cultivating him as the successor of Guihu Cave. Teaching the Extreme Yuanhuang Thunder Forging Divine Record was always done wholeheartedly, making Liu Suiyun happily immersed in the ocean of knowledge. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

If Yunpeng Shangren didn’t urgently need spirit stones to win the life-prolonging treasure at the auction, perhaps Yunpeng Shangren would directly spend countless spirit stones on Liu Suiyun and first raise him to the Foundation Establishment stage. In Liu Suiyun, Yunpeng Shangren saw not only the future of Guihu Cave and himself but also his reputation after death.

He saw his youth, his high spirits, and his flamboyant dreams. And all these abandoned things could only be realized on Liu Suiyun.

Therefore, Liu Suiyun could deeply feel Yunpeng Shangren’s extraordinary care for him. Looking at him and Zongyun Shangren disappear in the sea of clouds, Liu Suiyun was also extremely sad. He couldn’t help but think of those people far away – Gu Yinghua, Guo Huijun, and…

But he couldn’t be so sentimental anymore. Liu Suiyun now had to deal with the next super big trouble.

Because teacher’s wife will test him tomorrow on how well he has learned several spiritual cultivation Taoist books.
