The Master Of Spirit Plants - Chapter 535

Xiao Jinting took the jade badge and headed for the mansion. On the way, he met quite some cultivators.

He was in the territory of the Heavenly Rabbit, and the badge given by Zi Yu made his journey to the mansion uneventful.

Flame came out. It didn’t dare to show up when Xiao Jinting was in Zi Yu’s palace. After the two rabbits were out of sight, Flame said with disdain, “You are a coward!”

“You didn’t dare to make a sound when those two rabbits threatened to kill you to make fertilizer. You are the ancestor of your sect. If the people in the Spiritual World know that you lead such a wretched life, they will be disappointed in you. I ate all the rabbits that came across my path back then.”

Xiao Jinting’s face darkened. He said, “Don’t boast. You were so scared that you didn’t dare to say anything just now.”

Flame said sulkily, “I was not scared. If I had talked, I would have scared you out of your wits.”

Xiao Jinting said sarcastically, “Thank you.” He took out a communication jade pendant and shook his head helplessly.

Before they set off, Xiao Jinting asked Xu Lingfeng to make two communication jade pendants, afraid to part with Xu Muan. If Xu Muan was nearby, Xiao Jinting could feel his presence with the help of the jade pendant.

Xiao Jinting sighed. “Muan must be transported somewhere else.”

Flame said indifferently, “Don’t worry about him. Worry about yourself. He might have a much better time than you.”

Xiao Jinting was speechless.

There were quite some cultivators below the level of False Immortal, such as cultivators at stages of Establishment Foundation, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.

When Xiao Jinting got to the garden, he saw many Golden Cores and Nascent Souls. The Nascent Souls who were well respected in the Spiritual World had to work hard in the fields.

A Nascent Soul went up to him and asked gingerly, “Hello, are you the new steward?”

Qi Cheng, the Nascent Soul, said happily, “Great. You finally come.”

He showed Xiao Jinting around.

The Heavenly Moon Mansion was big, and it could rival the territory of Green Cloud Immortal Sect.

It was said that the Heavenly Moon Mansion was one of the eight mansions of Zi Yu, who came from an aristocratic family of the Heavenly Rabbit clan. The family was powerful.

The main crop in the Heavenly Moon Mansion was turnips, which were sorted into white turnips, green turnips, and purple turnips. The turnips were the same species, but the green turnips and purple turnips were mutated from the white turnips by accident.

The purple turnips were much more useful and valuable than green turnips and white turnips.

The mansion had to turn in one hundred purple turnips, ten thousand green turnips, and one million white turnips every ten years.

If there were more purple turnips, the mansion could turn in fewer green and white turnips. However, if they didn’t turn in sufficient purple turnips, they would be punished even if they had more green and white turnips.

Xiao Jinting inquired about his predecessors.

The former steward got killed when he tried to block the demonic beasts, which invaded the mansion when the defending array had a breakdown.

One steward had a crush on a Heavenly Rabbit, who detested him and killed him with a slap.

One steward was unlucky. He came across a battle between two Real Immortals and got killed by the force.

One steward bumped into an Immortal who was taking thunder retribution, which killed him instead of the immortal.

…

In a word, the previous stewards were unlucky and died in various accidents.

As a result, no one was willing to be the steward of the mansion.

“Mr. Xiao, the mansion had turned in the turnips two years ago, so you don’t have to worry about the harvest for the time being. However, you have to plan ahead. The turnips don’t grow well this year in the mansion. As a matter of fact, the turnips were growing worse over the years.”

“At this time of the year, many turnips should have mutated to green turnips, but the number of green turnips is decreasing, let alone the purple turnips. If we don’t turn in sufficient turnips, we will get less pay.” Qi Cheng had a sullen face.

Xiao Jinting said inwardly, “The others will get less pay if we can’t complete the task, but I will be killed and turned into fertilizer by the damn rabbit.”

Qi Cheng looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “Mr. Xiao, are you okay?”

Xiao Jinting nodded. “I’m fine.”

He took a stroll around the mansion and didn’t find anything wrong.
