When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 8 Two Thousand 880 Four Low-grade Spiritual Stones
Li Fan felt a little surprised when he heard this.

He asked: "The sea boat you are riding on has the flag of the Xu family. In the nearby sea area, is there any Jie cultivator who dares to stroke the Xu family's tiger beard?"

"Has Jie Xiu become so arrogant?"

Xu He immediately said after hearing this: "I didn't make it clear. My bodyguard Wang Yu did not die on my way to collect the spiritual rice, but he had family matters, so please stay away for a few days."

"Who would have thought that on the sea route away from the edge of the Xu family's influence, we encountered a robbery cultivator. Most of the dozen or so people on the boat were murdered, and only three of them escaped with their lives."

"Wang Yu is at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi refining stage, and he is not far behind me. If I had suffered a calamity that time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better."

Xu He sighed, feeling very emotional, as if a rabbit was dead and a fox was sad, something hurts its own kind.

When Li Fan heard this, his heart moved.

That makes sense.

The Xu family is a large family in the nearby sea area, and Jie Xiu will not easily cause trouble in the Xu family's core sphere of influence, and will easily suffer a devastating blow.

The problem is that the Falling Star Islands are too large, especially in the vast sea. In addition to mature shipping routes, there are too many sea areas and desert islands that no one pays attention to, where those cultivators can hide or kill.

The people of the Xu family can't manage so much, and can only focus on taking care of a few routes and core areas of influence. Unless something big happens, other places will be left to fend for themselves.

Li Fan could tell that Xu He was frightened.

Everything else about this guy is fine, but he's not very courageous.

Xu He purchased spiritual rice and carried a lot of spiritual stones with him on weekdays, making him an easy target for cultivators.

This time he came to Wangxian Island and brought four guards with him. They all seemed to be at the sixth or seventh level of Qi refining stage, but they were afraid of accidents.

After all, hiring a guard costs a lot of money.

Li Fan comforted Xu He with a few words, but at the same time he was also alerting himself in his heart.

"Although Wangxian Island is within the Xu family's sphere of influence and has always been relatively safe, the world today is not peaceful and anything can happen."

"Don't think that everything will be fine if you are on Wangxian Island. Who knows if there will be a robbery cultivator who will make a surprise attack and target my place?"

"On the one hand, remember not to be too high-profile. It is best not to reveal your wealth."

"But in the final analysis, you still have to have strength... If I am a major cultivator in the foundation building period, as long as I sit on the island, which blind cultivator would dare to come here?"

Li Fan thought.

He has a little more motivation to improve his strength as soon as possible.

"Strength in the world of immortality is the foundation for settling down and living a life. The rest are all illusions. A disaster will cause the weak to die."

"I have the white bead mark, and I am already much better than others. As long as I am willing to devote time and resources to practice, in a few years, I will be able to complete the Qi Refining Stage and have the confidence to build a foundation."

"Before that, I must be careful and wait until my strength develops."

"Haha, when I build the foundation, those little Jie Xiu Xiao in the nearby sea can be wiped out with a snap of my fingers, so it won't be a problem anymore."

Li Fan became more determined to speed up his practice and achieve breakthroughs.

Li Fan and Xu He chatted for a few more words. At this time, Zhang Bei quickly ran towards this side at a very fast speed.

Zhang Bei used the magic technique to arrive at the dock, took a quick look and immediately came to Li Fan's side.

"Brother, this is the account book. All the spiritual rice paid by the Lingnan tenants on the island this year is recorded on it, and it is accurate." Zhang Bei said, handing Li Fan an account book with both hands.

Li Fan nodded and took it, then read it.

There is a spiritual vein on Wangxian Island, and spiritual fields can be cultivated near the spiritual vein.

There are nearly 230 acres of spiritual fields on the entire island. Among them, more than [-] acres of high-quality spiritual fields that are particularly rich in spiritual energy are mostly used as medicinal fields, and the rest are mainly planted with spiritual rice.

There are more than thirty households of spiritual farmers on the island, most of which are tenant farmers.Some of them rent three to five acres, and some rent more than ten acres of spiritual land.

Each year the tenant farmers farmed half of the land they farmed, and the other half had to be turned over to the island.

There are also a small number of spiritual farmers who have their own spiritual fields, but generally they have very little land. In addition to cultivating their own fields, they also need to work as tenant farmers to cultivate the spiritual fields on the island.

Now that it is the harvest season of spiritual rice, the account book in Li Fan's hand is a general ledger that checks the spiritual rice handed over by the spiritual farmers on the island.

The yield of spiritual rice is generally 200 kilograms per acre of good spiritual fields, and more than [-] kilograms of ordinary spiritual fields.

Li Fan took a look at the accounts and found that this year was a good year. Ling Nong paid a total of 840 kilograms of spiritual rice.

The amount of spiritual rice each household paid was clearly written down one by one.

Li Fan is not afraid of what Zhang Bei might do.

There are only about 30 households of spiritual farmers on the island, and Zhang Bei only gets a meal of spiritual rice and other oil and water on weekdays. If he goes too far, naturally some spiritual farmers will come to Li Fan to complain.

As for the falsification of the account book, it is even more impossible. Li Fan is meticulous and has a certain amount of spiritual rice produced in good and bad years on the island. He can tell if the spiritual rice in the account book is slightly different.

Secondly, the risk is too high, and the risk of exposure is too high. Li Fan can always check the accounts with the spiritual farmer on the island. Once Zhang Bei is found to have made false accounts, he will be dealt with according to the family law established by his uncle, and his cultivation may be abolished. , or even kill them directly, Zhang Bei couldn't make any sense.

The benefits are small but the risks are high. Zhang Bei is not stupid and will not easily deceive others.

As for Zhang Bei siphoning off some money from Ling Nong on weekdays, Li Fan saw through it without telling him. He understood the principle that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when a person observes carefully, there are no disciples. After all, he still has to let people work, no matter When it comes to principles, just treat it as normal human behavior.

"Brother Xu, let's go get the spiritual rice." Li Fan said to Xu He.

An hour later.

Li Fan led Xu He to count the spiritual rice in the rice warehouse on the island.

Xu He identified the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual rice, and then checked whether it was damp or insect-infested. After checking that there was no problem, he weighed it with the weighing array he brought with him.

In the end, it matched the weight reported by Li Fan, and the spiritual rice weighed a total of 840 kilograms, exactly the same.

Xu He was very satisfied. He said to Li Fan: "These spiritual rice are still in the old rules. They go to the market as they go. The price of spiritual rice has been quite stable in the past two years. Ten kilograms of spiritual rice and one low-grade spiritual stone. Twenty-eight thousand and eight hundred and forty kilograms of spiritual rice. The price is 840 and four pieces of low-grade spiritual stones."

Hearing this number, even Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Wealth is moving!

The spiritual rice handed over by the spiritual farmers on the island this year is Li Fan's ten years' income, which will inevitably make people feel flustered.

However, this emotion only passed by for a moment, and Li Fan quickly returned to normal.

Xu He pulled Li Fan into the rice warehouse, which blocked the view of everyone outside. He took out a long white jade stone box from his storage bag.

The stone box looked quite heavy, and Xu He had to use magic to level it.

He controlled the white jade box and placed it on a stone pier in the rice warehouse.

Xu He opened the stone box and saw that inside the stone box were neatly arranged low-grade spiritual stones.

Li Fan looked at the neatly arranged, layered low-grade spiritual stones.

These spiritual stones are semi-crystalline, each one is as wide as an index finger and half a finger long, and looks like a long, flat white gemstone.

Every low-grade spiritual stone contains spiritual power, can help people quickly recover their spiritual power, and can be used as a spiritual energy source in formations.

After Xu He took out the low-grade spirit stone from the stone box, he carefully observed Li Fan's expression.

Seeing that although Li Fan looked at the spirit stone, he didn't look too greedy, Xu He couldn't help but admire him.

He stabilized the stone box containing the spiritual stones and took out two objects from his body...
