Supreme Emperor of Mist

"Fellow disciple Qin, please wait for me here while I complete the procedures of renting this place!" Li Wei brought Qin Lan over to Qingyao Hill to inspect the spiritual cave. It was indeed located quite a distance away from the other caverns in the core area.

(What a blessing in disguise. Who would imagine that this spiritual cave is actually abandoned because it was located outside of the core area?)

Qin Lan secretly chuckled while he inspects the surrounding of this spiritual cave. As it was underutilized and abandoned for so long, the soil actually remains undisturbed. Furthermore, because this place is located closer to the water source, making the irrigation of this place is superb compared to everywhere else.

His initial stage of inspection gave Qin Lan a rough estimation of how much space can be utilized. After deducting the spiritual cave area that took about a-third of this 1mu area, the remaining two-thirds are just right for him to separate them into four arable plots.

He was feeling terrific with the suitability of this place. Searching for the core area in the middle of the four arable plots, Qin Lan molded his Spiritual Energy into the shape of a plow and gave it a simple makeover.

Ten columns in a plot, Qin Lan created forty columns right away while imagining how the medicinal farm will look. It resembles half of the swastica symbol the moment Qin Lan is done with them.

(I wonder if Lu Yi, Lu Qing Yun, and the others are available. If they could help, it would be great for my plan)

Qin Lan continued to check the surrounding. Since no barricades nor fences were surrounding the farm, that would be where he's going to start.

"Fellow disciple Qin, I'm done with the procedure. We'll be allowed to use this spiritual cave and the arable land from this moment onwards." Li Wei returned from the core area once he was done with all the troublesome matters.

He returned Qin Lan's disciple token along with a ring holding ten jade slips. Without them, they will be unable to enter the spiritual cave.

"Take one of them for your own. Do you have anyone else that's reliable and close to you?" Qin Lan asked. Although two-thirds of the spiritual cave literally belongs to him right now, he can't utilize all the available space on his own.

Even if he includes Qin Fan and Qin Chan's spots, he'll be only using seven out of the ten available rooms inside this cave. Furthermore, the Spiritual Energy is considerably lower than what was offered by the Lower or Upper Xuan Rooms inside the elder's dwelling.

"I've indeed had someone in mind. Will asking for two spare rooms out from this spiritual cave be too much in fellow disciple Qin's opinion?" Li Wei politely requested two rooms.

"Here." Qin Lan stuffed two more keys into Li Wei's palm without asking him the reason or identity of the person he's going to give them to. Based on how much he knew him, Qin Lan could roughly imagine what kind of people they're going to be.

The duo then entered the spiritual cave together and took the liberty of choosing the best room for themselves. And since Li Wei suggested that Qin Lan leaves the issue with cleaning to him, the latter nodded and excused himself as there were more for him to do in the evening.

"Good evening, fellow disciple." the disciples in Min-Ren Dwelling greets Qin Lan whenever they walked past him.

"Good evening, everyone." Qin Lan cupped his hand and greeted them as he went further into the dwelling. By now, his face is already recognizable to some disciples of this dwelling.

"Young master," Lu Qing Yun greets Qin Lan the moment she noticed he's coming into the training hall. The two of them immediately walked side by side as she brings him over to where Hu Jia and Qin Chan might be.

"How's the life inside Min-Ren Dwelling? Are you getting used to it?" Qin Lan asked as they're walking through the long corridor.

"I had my fun. It seems Lu Yi and Huo Zunjie are much happier than before because there was more for them to do here compared to when all of us are still in the Qin Family Estate." Lu Qing Yun smiled as she replied to Qin Lan's question.

"Where did the two of them go?" Qin Lan asked. Based on his understanding regarding Lu Yi and Huo Zunjie, it should be impossible for the two to not making an appearance in the training hall when they're free to do so.

"There was a request posted in our Request Hall earlier. It was a call to defend a village from the mountain bandits. Both of them should be on their way over there right now." Lu Qing Yun answered. It looks like such a task is frequent to the Min-Ren Dwelling.

"Jia-Jia, the young master is here." Lu Qing Yun addressed Hu Jia using a casual tone. It's because the girl's relationship is much deeper after coming into the Cloud Plucking Sect. It was just out of respect why Lu Qing Yun continues to addressed Qin Lan this way.

"Husband?" Hu Jia came out of her room with Qin Chan.

"Oh! This brat is finally here looking for his wife after a week of treating her coldly. What now? Feeling guilty?" Qin Chan patted Qin Lan's head as her brother came over to her side to greet her.

"Why would you say so, my second sister? I'm just as busy as you all." Qin Lan smiled.

He then shared with them about him renting out the spiritual cave to cultivates his own medicinal plants. Furthermore, Qin Lan shared with them the intention of making this move.

"I'm jealous right now." Qin Chang chuckled. It seems that establishing his own supply and brand name is Qin Lan's first step to trample on Liu Feiyang.

Although Liu Feiyang wasn't difficult to deal with as an individual, his backer was the main problem. As a mere disciple of the Cloud Plucking Sect, it is unwise for them to openly fighting against the eleventh elder's faction.

And as everyone says, background and influence are also a type of strength. How Hu Jia was treated before by the elder was because her backer, the twelfth elder, wasn't as strong as the eleventh elder.

That's why Qin Lan chooses this path.

"So, what are you going to plant?" Qin Chan asked. Although her knowledge related to pill concoction is not comparable to Qin Lan, it wasn't shallow to the point of ignorance.

Cultivating medicinal herbs for Pharmacy is widely practiced throughout the Yunshan Province, but not Spiritual Herbs!

That's why the hunters are still risking their lives in the forest to forage materials such as Demonic Blood Oranges and the others!

"It's a Spiritual Herb to concoct a pill known as Essence Transformation Pill." Qin Lan said.
