Chapter 47 Golden Spear Corner
Qin Di stared at the map for a while and asked, "Old sir, I see that there are still many first-level spiritual fields left in these corners. These spiritual fields seem to be unmanaged. Have they been desolate?"
The old man replied: "It's not completely desolate. Every spring, some errand disciples will sprinkle some seeds of low-level spiritual herbs, and they will not care after sowing them. They will harvest them in autumn and count as much as they harvest. These are tasks issued by the sect to ensure the unlimited supply of low-level spiritual herbs."
"Why no one wants the spiritual field in the corner? Is it because of the distance or because of something else?"
The old man patiently explained: "The entire Red Fire Continent is very safe. The monsters are surrounded and there is no invasion from foreign enemies. It is because of the distance. Red Fire Continent is a large island, olive-shaped, 3,600 miles long and 2,000 miles wide. We are almost close to the center of the island, slightly southeast, from here to south, and only more than 800 miles to the beach. If you go north, until Baizhangyan, the holy land of fishing, it is 1,200 miles. It is farther west, and it looks like two thousand miles. It is 1,600 miles east. At such a long distance, those who rent first-level spiritual fields are all low-level outer disciples, which is very inconvenient to travel, so no one goes."
"What if you use the flying talisman? It won't take an hour to get a thousand miles away."
The old man smiled and said, "Flying talismans also have service life. Generally speaking, low-level flying talismans can be used up to a hundred times, and each flight costs spirit stones. Although it is not much to be used at a time, it will be a huge expense over time. It is not easy for outer disciples to accumulate spirit stones, so who would be willing to spend it on this?"
Qin Di said in his heart: "I can still spend this little spiritual stone." He asked again: "Sir, if I rent a location on the edge of the island, can I catch spiritual fish in other places except Baizhangyan? It is said that the surroundings are Tongtian River, and spiritual fish should run around, and shouldn't just go to Baizhangyan, right?"
The old man shook his head slowly and said, "It is said that you can catch anywhere. However, the high-level spirit fish in the sea are hidden in deeper water. Baizhang Rock is straight up and down, and the hook is thrown to the deep water. It is very convenient to fish. The water on the shores are shallower. To catch big fish, you need to go deep water. You can walk to the deep water. You can walk to more than ten or twenty feet at a time. Don't forget that once people fall into the water, they will not be easy to gain a foothold. Fishing spirit fish is also dangerous, and people are more likely to be harmed in the water. It is precisely because of this that people choose to go to Baizhang Rock to fish, and no one else goes."
Qin Di nodded: "Thank you for your advice. I want to rent it to the south. This spiritual field looks quite small." He said and pointed on the map.
The old man looked at it and asked, "Are you talking about the golden gun corner?"
Qin Di was a little surprised: "What did you say? This place is called Golden Gun Corner? Then the area next to it is Golden Gun Bay, right?"
Suddenly he remembered a miscellaneous note that mentioned the corner of the Golden Gun and the Golden Gun Bay, and a related story.
"Yes, this is called the Golden Gun Corner. Look at this pointed peninsula, which penetrates twenty miles deep into the sea, does it look like a golden gun?"
Qin Di knew that the golden spear horn was not named because it looked like a gun, but came from a kind of spiritual fish. He read a description from a very old miscellaneous note that someone caught a fourth-level golden spear spirit fish there three thousand years ago. It caused a great sensation at that time, because the third-level spiritual fish was the treasure I dreamed of in the late stage of foundation building and even in the early stage of the Golden Pill. If the fourth-level spiritual fish appeared, it would cause crazy pursuit in the late stage of the Golden Pill, and even alarm the great monks in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. These spiritual fish can strengthen their bodies and have great benefits for resisting the heavenly tribulation.
"What's the terrain next to the sea?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "There are some low cliffs on the beach here. Someone once tried fishing there, but I have never heard of anyone who has caught it. Not to mention the second-level spirit fish, there is not even the first-level spirit fish."
Speaking of this, the old man smiled: "Young man, do you want to rent a spiritual field? Or do you want to fish? You want to rent a spiritual field. This land is too big. I'm afraid you can't get it. The rent for a year is a considerable amount."
Qin Di asked: "How big is this land? How many points are needed?"
"From the top of the peninsula, this spiritual field has more than 10,000 mu, even if it is 10,000 mu, the annual rent is 100,000 points. Hehe, young man, didn't you scare you?"
Qin Di did not reply, but lowered his head and continued to look at the map. After a moment, he asked: "Old sir, I am still a little worried, is there any foreign enemy invasion in the corner of the Golden Gun?"
The old man laughed and said, "Don't worry. Young man, don't worry too much. Our Chihuozhou is very safe. There are large formations outside to protect it. No foreign enemies have attacked the island for thousands of years. Our battles with other sects are limited to the island outside. If you go to the outer sea to station the island, you must be careful. In Chihuozhou, there is no problem!"
Qin Di said: "That's good. I want to rent this land. Can I rent it for five years first?"
The old man was surprised and said, "The annual rent of the first-level spiritual field is one point per acre of land, and 10,000 acres will cost 50,000 points for five years! Young man, you are just a disciple of Qi Refining Level. Do you have so many points?"
"Can you pay for the spirit stone instead?"
"Yes, exchange a piece of spirit stone for 100 points, this is the price stipulated by the sect for many years."
"What should I do if I want to renew my contract in the future? Is there any priority renewal right? Will I be robbed of it after five years of hard work?"
"Priority renewal rights? This must be! This is also the rule left by the ancestors of the sect. It has maintained a tradition of tens of thousands of years. As long as you have a lease and have enough points to renew the contract, others cannot infringe on it. No matter where the lawsuit goes, even if you invite the True Lord of the Nascent Soul, you will be sentenced to win."
"Then I'll feel relieved. I'll pay five hundred spirit stones first and rent them for five years. Then I'll renew the contract if I have more points." As I said that, a small pile of spirit stones poured out from the storage bag.
The old man was very surprised to see, his eyes widened without feeling like he was narrowing, his fat cheeks trembled slightly, and he sighed: "It's not simple! Young man, if you don't have your ancestor Yu Yin, you can earn these spirit stones by yourself alone, that would be great! To be honest, I rarely see anyone doing this. Not to mention the outer disciples of the second level of Qi Refining, even the inner disciples, or even some elite disciples, can't get so many spirit stones."
Qin Di blinked and smiled, "Hehe, I dug these spirit stones from the ground. I have worked hard for many days."
