Chapter 13 The Liu Family's Failure (Please collect and read)
There are two green pine trees at the door with lush branches and leaves, and their needles are as green as jade. They really look much better than before.

Moreover, compared with last year, the tree trunk has grown taller.

Chen An concentrated and calmed himself, checking the condition of the tree to the east.

[Jade pine, a first-class lower-grade spiritual plant. After three years of careful care, it has grown from an ordinary green pine to a spiritual plant, but its potential is limited to the current level.]

After reading this message, Chen An felt slightly disappointed.

But think about it, how can ordinary plants continue to improve without special opportunities?

It is already very difficult to cultivate it into a spiritual plant.

Chen An pondered for a moment, then cast a soul-enhancing spell on each of the two jade pines.

He then used the Earth Attraction Technique to comb the spiritual energy in the underground soil before turning back into the house.

While it was still early, he used the remaining spiritual energy to draw a few hemp clothing talismans.

After several harvests, the hemp clothing talisman has been slightly successful, and the success rate has reached 50%.

After a few months, I have accumulated dozens of them.

It just so happens that there will be a family trade fair the day after tomorrow, so I can sell them all then.

With this income alone, Chen An is able to live a comfortable life in his family.

But he knew clearly in his heart that his foundation lay in the cultivation of spiritual fields, and that it would be enough to have enough talismans.

Chen An took advantage of the good mood, took a Qi-nourishing pill, and started practicing.

On this day, Chen An had not yet gone out, and Chen Fengshuo, who lived nearby, came to see him with great interest.

"Brother Chen An, hurry up, the trade fair is about to start."

Perhaps because he found some good seeds last time, Chen Fengshuo was particularly looking forward to the trade fair.

"The transaction will last all day, why rush?"

Chen An smiled, put his storage bag away, and then the two of them went to the family compound together.

I don’t know if it was because of the order issued by the second elder last time, but many spiritual farmers took out their most valuable items and started selling them.

After wandering around, I actually found quite a few low-grade magical weapons.

There is no weapon refiner in the clan, and magical weapons are relatively rare. Most of them can only be bought from Qingyun Market.

However, most of them were of poor quality, similar to standard low-grade magic weapons, so Chen An had no interest in buying them.

He looked around, spotted an empty spot, took out a bunch of hemp clothing talismans, and started setting up his stall.

Chen Dazhuang next door raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Where did you get the talisman?"

"Where else could it come from? I drew it myself."

"Without the guidance of the Third Elder, how could I draw so many?"

"I was just thinking about it. It's just a coincidence."

Chen Dazhuang looked at the thirty or forty hemp talismans in front of Chen An, and felt confused.

However, he just assumed that the other party's success rate was not high, and won by numbers, using talismans made from a large amount of talisman paper.

Yes, that must be the case!

Chen Dazhuang soon felt relieved. After all, studying under the Third Elder was much more efficient than guessing on his own.

Defensive talismans are easier to sell, and before long, Chen An’s talismans were bought out by several members of the tribe who made a living by hunting.

Chen Dazhuang's talismans were mostly offensive talismans, and there were a lot of them, but only a small half of them were left.

"Brother Dazhuang, you go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving first."

Leaving Chen Dazhuang with a dazed look on his face, Chen An went to find Chen Fengshuo who was still wandering around.

After leaving the square, Chen Fengshuo's face flushed with excitement. He stretched out his palm mysteriously, revealing a worn bronze ring.

It exudes a faint spiritual aura, which is far inferior to that of a low-grade magical weapon, like a magical weapon that has failed in refining.

"This ring has a great opportunity!"

"How many spirit stones did you spend?"

"That's three low-grade spirit stones!"

Chen An shook his head helplessly. A great opportunity of three spirit stones?

Chen Fengshuo was honest and simple, and it seemed that he was bewitched and suffered a loss. However, Chen An saw that the other party was in high spirits, and forcing him to point out might backfire, so he didn't say much.

When he goes back and can't figure anything out on his own, he will naturally understand it.

Chen An asked him to go back first, and he went to the affairs hall.

The price of the Ma Yi Talisman is quite reasonable among the first-level low-grade talismans. One piece is worth one spirit stone. I just sold a total of thirty-five spirit stones at the stall.

He exchanged two bottles of Qi-nourishing Pills in one go and then returned home.

Every day he is busy with spiritual fields and cultivation, and occasionally draws talismans.

In a flash, three months passed.

Chen An ushered in a good harvest.

Of all the spiritual plants, the most anticipated one is naturally the Qingying Grass.

After picking the fruits, he was not disappointed.

[Harvest a Qingying grass and obtain a nourishing pill] *5
[Harvest a high-quality Qingying grass and obtain a high-quality nourishing pill]

Chen An was a little surprised.

Pills, like spiritual plants, are divided into three qualities: ordinary, high-quality and perfect.

The better the quality of the pill, the better the effect after taking it.

The third cloud in his Dantian has condensed a lot after more than half a year of practice. When he has practiced to the extreme, he will use this pill to break through to the fourth level of Qi training.

[Harvest a Fireweed Flower, get a bottle of Fire Blood Ink] *4
[Harvest a high-quality fireweed flower and obtain the Explosive Flame Talisman]

The blood ink that talisman masters usually use is mostly neutral and peaceful, but there are also special blood inks, such as fire-attribute blood ink. When drawing fire-attribute talismans, the success rate and power will be slightly improved.

If you do the math, four bottles of first-grade, mid-quality fire-attribute blood ink are worth ten spirit stones.

The Explosive Flame Talisman is a first-grade mid-quality talisman, so the harvest this time is considered good.

The other harvests from the two spiritual fields were also quite fruitful, especially the sword-leaf grass, which directly advanced Chen An's Gengjin Sword Technique to a small level of success.

As far as this Gengjin sword finger is concerned, he has already become the best among the younger generation of spiritual plant masters.

After working for most of the day, they finally transported the spiritual value and rice to the affairs hall and sold them.

After buying the seeds, three bottles of Qi-nourishing pills and fifty pieces of talisman paper, he still had sixty spirit stones left.

An unprecedented sense of abundance arises from the bottom of my heart.

Chen An went back and planted the seeds and began his practice for the day.

About half a month later, Chen An heard the news while he was out taking care of the spiritual field.

The second elder's method was very effective, and the yellow sprout rice harvest in the past two seasons was excellent.

After the price dropped, with the dual advantages of price and quality, Liu's rice shop was in complete disarray.

I heard that the Liu family's spiritual fields were persecuted by soul-eating rats some time ago, and the output has dropped, and has been severely suppressed.

Perhaps because he made a lot of money this time, the head of the family was very happy and announced that the previous order would be revoked and the planting ratio of yellow sprout rice would be restored to 70%.

The spiritual farmers were overjoyed.

"The Liu family is so useless, this is all that's left?"

"I thought it would take at least a year to regain the upper hand, but it's only been half a year."

"I remember that the situation five years ago was even worse. After the head of the family ordered all the spiritual rice in stock to be transported to the shops in the market, the Liu family could not hold out for a month."

Chen An heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the Liu family was so vulnerable to the attack.

He was naturally happy to be able to farm well.

Leaving the noisy crowd and leaving the spiritual field, Chen An saw two figures in the distance walking up the mountain road.

One of them had a familiar figure, a bit like Chen San who went out to hunt monsters.

The two of them were arm in arm, looking very cordial.

I guess this is another casual cultivator friend that he made. This guy used to do this often.

After practicing at home for a few days, finally, the jade pine at the door was covered with pine cones, and the progress bar shown on it was full!
