When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 7 Lingmi Merchant
Li Fan is very familiar with this person.

The other party is Zhang Bei, the secular affairs steward on Wangxian Island.

Li Fan nodded slightly to Zhang Bei.

He knew Zhang Bei very well. He was a registered disciple accepted by his uncle. He did not practice full-time, but was responsible for the daily affairs of Wangxian Island.

Zhang Bei is 28 years old, and his spiritual root qualifications are worse than Li Fan's. He has four attributes of mixed spiritual roots, and his cultivation is at the fourth level of the Qi refining stage.

When Zhang Bei looked at Li Fan, there was a hint of envy in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

Li Fan saw this and smiled slightly, seeing through Zhang Bei's thoughts.

Li Fan has always known that Zhang Bei has always dreamed of becoming his great-uncle's direct descendant and becoming the second person after the island owner of Wangxian Island. In this way, his status, resources and identity will be improved.

But he could only envy him. His cultivation was three heavens behind Li Fan, and now he was even four heavens behind him. His realm was tightly suppressed, and even if he had thoughts, he had to suppress them in his heart.

Li Fan saw through what the other party was thinking and didn't say anything. He just asked calmly: "I am practicing in seclusion. I told you before not to disturb you easily. What is your business with me?"

Zhang Bei calmed down and said respectfully: "Senior Brother, Manager Xu He from the Xu Family Rice Shop on Longlin Island has come to Wangxian Island to collect spiritual rice. This matter needs to be handled by you personally, Senior Brother."

Li Fan's heart moved slightly.

Dragon Scale Island is where the head of the Xu family is located. The island is so huge that the Xu family even built a city on it, becoming the Dafang City of the nearby immortal world.

The Xujia Rice Shop is the property of the Xu clan, and it handles a large amount of spiritual rice business.

Every year at this time, people from the Xu family come to buy the spiritual rice from Wangxian Island.

"You go get this year's Lingmi account book, and I'll go talk to Manager Xu He," Li Fan said.

Zhang Bei nodded, then looked a little hesitant and said: "Senior brother, there is another common matter that needs you to decide."

"What's the matter?" Li Fan stopped and asked.

Zhang Bei said: "Li Yuan, the spiritual farmer on the island, wants to mortgage his spiritual field to borrow fifty low-grade spiritual stones."

"Although this matter is a secular matter, the rules set by my master are that when it comes to spiritual land, we must ask for instructions from the higher ups. I dare not make the decision. I want to ask my senior brother for your opinion."

Li Fan nodded.

There is a spiritual vein on Wangxian Island, and wherever the spiritual vein goes, there is a spiritual field where spiritual rice and elixirs can be grown.

If you want to plant spiritual fields, you also need to be a Qi Refiner, with at least three levels of cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, in order to be able to cast spells for planting spiritual rice and medicine.

These people no longer have any potential in their cultivation, so they are willing to settle for worldly things and are called spiritual farmers.

There are more than 30 spiritual farmers on the island. Some of them have been in the family for several generations and have their own spiritual land. They work as tenants on the island while cultivating their own land.

Li Fan asked: "Why did he mortgage the spiritual field?"

Zhang Beidao: "Li Yuan is because his son had something go wrong during his practice and needs elixir to nurse him back to life."

Li Fan nodded slightly and said, "Li Yuan is a loyal, down-to-earth person who works hard, and the spiritual rice he pays every year is sufficient and timely."

"As a father, he healed his only son's injuries. It's human nature and understandable."

"Since you have a mortgage and credit, let's lend it to him. Don't rush him too hastily."

However, Zhang Bei showed a trace of anxiety and said, "Senior brother, are your ideas too lenient? I think he may not be able to make it yet. If so, we can use his spiritual field..."

Although Zhang Bei didn't finish his sentence, a look of greed appeared in his eyes, and he obviously wanted to seize someone's property.

Li Fan saw Zhang Bei's expression but didn't point it out.

He said: "By lending him the spiritual stone and keeping the spiritual field, the Li family is still alive. If the field is gone, his family will be completely destroyed."

"Li Yuan did not make a big mistake. Help him give him a chance to survive. If he really can't survive by then, then consider other things."

When Zhang Bei heard this, his expression showed disappointment.

But he quickly restrained himself and said, "Yes."

"Brother, I'm going to do some work."

Li Fan nodded.

Zhang Bei turned and left.Li Fan glanced at the man's back, a bright light flashing in his eyes.

He could see that Zhang Bei wanted to seize Li Yuantian's property, but was stopped once, and he felt some resentment in his heart.

But Li Fan didn't feel that what he did was wrong.

When his parents died and the relatives in Lijiazhuang took over his property, Li Fan had enough of those ugly faces.

He saw the darkness of human nature when he was very young.

When faced with the same injustice, some people feel that no amount of revenge on the world is too much, while others feel that they should not be such people.

Li Fan could clearly see Zhang Bei's thoughts.

He just didn't want to tell the truth.

Uncle-uncle asked Zhang Bei to be the disciple of this famous disciple, so he naturally had his own ideas.

Li Fan is naturally not afraid of Zhang Bei, but even though he doesn't like Zhang Bei, there is no need to break up with him.

"I wholeheartedly want to continue practicing, but I just don't want to get stuck in such mundane things all day long."

Li Fan tapped the storage bag on his waist, and the red flying sword flew out. He jumped up, jumped on the flying sword, and flew to the southwest of the island.

Wangxian Island is an island, naturally surrounded by the sea. There is a small harbor in the southwest of the island, and ships will pass by every once in a while. The residents on the island who have low levels of cultivation do not have magic weapons such as flying swords. His spiritual power is not enough to cross the sea, so he usually spends some broken spiritual crystals to go to other islands when the sea boat passes by.

Li Fan controlled the flying sword and arrived at the dock in the southwest of the island in less than half a cup of tea.

He fell from the sky.

In the direction of the pier, about twenty steps away from Li Fan, a group of five monks stood together. Four of them were wearing green clothes, uniform styles, and a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing maroon clothes was surrounded by stars. Guarding in the middle like a crescent moon.

This middle-aged man looks broad-minded and fat. He is wearing maroon clothes and a melon-pipe hat also known as Liuhe scarf. There is also a red gem inlaid in the center of the hat. He looks like a rich man, and he looks quite handsome. For freedom.

Li Fan knew this person, he was Xu He, the manager of Xujia Mipu.

When Xu He saw Li Fan from afar, he laughed and said hello.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be more energetic. It seems that you have been living a good life recently." Xu He said loudly.

Li Fan smiled.

Although he and Xu He didn't see each other much on weekdays, they still had a good relationship.

Xu He is 45 and six years old. His cultivation is at the seventh level of the Qi refining stage like Li Fan before him. He is a descendant of the Xu family, but he is not a direct descendant and does not have much real power. Because of the matter of collecting spiritual rice, he meets Li Fan once or twice a year. .

The two have similar strength, and there is not much difference in status. They belong to the same level. In terms of potential, Li Fan is slightly stronger than Xu He.

Li Fan and Xu He get along well with each other due to their similar identities, status, and strengths.

When Xu He came to the island, he would always tell Li Fan some recent news, which was a reliable channel for Li Fan to learn about the outside world.

Li Fan walked over, held his hands in his hands, smiled, and said, "Brother Xu, wait a moment. The people on the island have gone to get the account books. After a while, you and I will go to the rice warehouse to get rice."

After speaking, Li Fan glanced at the four men in Tsing Yi behind Xu He. It was obvious that these people were all guards.

Li Fan was a little strange.

The sea area from Dragon Scale Island to Wangxian Island is the core area of ​​influence of the Xu family and has always been relatively safe. Xu He usually only brought two guards when he came here to collect spiritual rice, but this time he brought four at a time.

Judging by their faces, only one of them, Li Fan, was familiar, and the other guard brought by Xu and Chang was not among them.

Li Fan asked: "Brother Xu, has something happened recently? You seem to be guarding me more closely this time?"

When Xu He heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and after a moment he let out a long sigh.

"Ugh!"

"Recently, the tribulation cultivators in the archipelago have become more and more arrogant."

"My bodyguard Wang Yu suffered a calamity and died, so I had no choice but to add more bodyguards."
