Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Selling Spirit Rice

Translator: 549690339

“Shopkeeper Cheng.”

Lin Jing walked into a store named Yu Ming Commerce.

After inquiring for several days, Lin Jing had learned that this store held a good reputation in Fang Market,

so for the first time selling his Spirit Rice, he chose Yu Ming Commerce.

Upon hearing the voice, a middle-aged man playing with an abacus behind the counter looked up.

Seeing Lin Jing approaching, Shopkeeper Cheng smiled.

“So it’s young master Lin. Have the Spirit Rice of your family matured and you wish to sell it?”

Lin Jing had visited this place two days ago and had a conversation with Shopkeeper Cheng, mentioning that his family wanted to sell some Spirit Rice.

Since it was the harvesting season for Spirit Rice, during this time, members from various families often came to sell their Spirit Rice.

However, seeing that Lin Jing came by himself, Shopkeeper Cheng assumed he was one of the significant people in charge of his family’s finances.

Therefore, Shopkeeper Cheng had no suspicions.

And, with the vast amount Lin Jing mentioned, the two had discussed it further and finally agreed on a price: one Spirit Stone for fifty jin of Spirit Rice.

This ratio was quite generous already.

“I’ve brought the Spirit Rice with me, where would Shopkeeper Cheng like to inspect the goods?”

“You’ve brought it?” Shopkeeper Cheng was surprised.

Seeing Lin Jing alone, he peered outside, but the street was empty with no ox-cart transporting Spirit Rice in sight.

“Right here,” Lin Jing said, shaking the Storage Bag at his waist.

“Oh…”

Shopkeeper Cheng suddenly realized.

“It seems I was right, young master Lin does hold an extraordinary position in the family.”

“Not only are you in charge of selling Spirit Rice, but the family has even provided you with a Storage Bag.”

After saying that, Shopkeeper Cheng immediately added a word of caution:

“Young master Lin, it’s best to be more careful in the future. It’s safe here in Fang Market, but outside it can be quite dangerous.”

“Especially since you’re carrying so much wealth. If someone targets you, at best they would rob you, but at worst, they could take your life.”

Shopkeeper Cheng knew Lin Jing’s cultivation wasn’t high and attributed his daring to come to Fang Market alone to his extraordinary courage and skill.

“Thank you for the reminder, Shopkeeper Cheng.”

“But you worry too much,” Lin Jing responded.

“I naturally came out with the elders of my family. It’s just that the elders have other matters to attend to, and they also intended to train my abilities.”

“Hence, only I came by myself.”

After Lin Jing finished speaking, Shopkeeper Cheng slapped his forehead.

“I was wondering…”

“That’s the reason.”

Shopkeeper Cheng then laughed.

“Hahaha, indeed, I worried too much.”

“Young master Lin, let’s go to the back courtyard. We have a grain storehouse there.”

Afterward, Shopkeeper Cheng called a clerk to mind the store.

“Young master Lin, please.”

Leading the way, Shopkeeper Cheng guided Lin Jing towards the back courtyard.

Arriving at the storehouse in the back courtyard, Lin Jing opened the Storage Bag and took out all the Spirit Rice inside.

“This is a total of two thousand jin. Please see what you think of the quality, Shopkeeper Cheng.”

“Young master Lin, please wait a moment,” said Shopkeeper Cheng.

Then he opened one of the sacks, reached in, and grabbed a handful of Spirit Rice.

He first inspected it closely, then smelled it, and finally picked a few grains to taste carefully in his mouth.

“Not bad, the quality is excellent.”

Having said that, Shopkeeper Cheng randomly chose several bags of Spirit Rice and inspected them one by one.

“We always have to inspect the Spirit Rice carefully with each purchase. I hope young master Lin won’t take offense.”

“That’s how it should be, I understand,” Lin Jing said.

“Shopkeeper Cheng, how is this Spirit Rice?”

Shopkeeper Cheng’s eyes narrowed into slits with his smile:

“This Spirit Rice is of good quality. I’ll take it all. We’ll go with the price we agreed on before. What do you think, young man?”

“Good,” Lin Jing nodded in response.

Then, Shopkeeper Cheng continued:

“Previously, Young Master Lin mentioned that this is just the first batch and that there will be much more coming.”

“I just don’t know how much more you’re talking about. I want to buy it all.”

Seeing Shopkeeper Cheng like this, Lin Jing began to ponder:

“I had originally planned to sell the Spirit Rice in separate batches, but seeing Shopkeeper Cheng’s eagerness…”

“I must have underestimated the Spirit Rice market at Fang Market before.”

After musing for a moment, Lin Jing decided to tell the truth.

“Eight thousand jin,” Lin Jing said, making a hand gesture at the same time.

“Good.”

Shopkeeper Cheng’s eyes lit up.

“Young Master Lin, then it’s settled. I will take all eight thousand jin.”

“The remaining eight thousand jin, how many days until it can be harvested? After a few days, once it’s harvested, I’ll bring it to you.”

“Alright, then I’ll be waiting for Young Master Lin.”

Afterward, the two walked out of the storeroom.

As they walked, Lin Jing asked, “Shopkeeper Cheng, do you have seeds here?”

“Of course, what kind of seeds is Young Master Lin looking for?”

“Superior grade Spirit Rice seeds, a hundred jin.”

“Then I’ll take some Seven-Star Grass seeds as well, fifty jin should do.”

“Seven-Star Grass seeds? Does Young Master Lin’s family have a Talisman Maker?” Shopkeeper Cheng turned his head to look at Lin Jing and asked.

Seven-Star Grass is a kind of Spirit Grass that is specifically used to make talismans, and it requires more Spiritual Energy to cultivate than Spirit Rice does.

Of course, the price is also higher.

But with the density of Spiritual Energy in the System Space right now, growing Seven-Star Grass should be no problem at all.

“You misunderstand, Shopkeeper Cheng. I’ve heard that Demonic Beasts have been causing trouble often lately and the price of Seven-Star Grass has been steadily rising, so I thought about growing some to sell next year.”

“Hehe…”

“It seems like young brother has done his research indeed. The price of Seven-Star Grass has skyrocketed, nearly doubling.”

Shopkeeper Cheng stated seriously:

“I just want to remind you, ordinary Spirit Fields cannot grow Seven-Star Grass. If the Spiritual Energy is insufficient, the Seven-Star Grass will not survive.”

Lin Jing nodded, “I’m well aware of that.”

……

When Lin Jing left Yu Ming Trading Company, not only had his stock of Spirit Stones not increased, he had even spent some.

The price of Seven-Star Grass had soared, and the seeds were no exception, outrageously expensive. Fifteen jin of Seven-Star Grass seeds cost him fifty Spirit Stones.

Add that to the hundred jin of Superior grade Spirit Rice seeds, he spent a total of sixty Spirit Stones, whereas Lin Jing’s two thousand jin of Medium Grade Spirit Rice had only sold for forty Spirit Stones.

So, in the end, Lin Jing still owed Shopkeeper Cheng twenty Spirit Stones.

Once back in his own courtyard, Lin Jing had no time to rest before entering the System Space.

DiLon Space, there was still a lot of land lying fallow. Having land and not using it—that was a waste.

So, adhering to the principle that waste is shameful, the first thing Lin Jing did upon returning was to till the land.

By the time Lin Jing was transported out of the System Space, it was already the next day’s early morning hours.

Because the time flow in the System Space was different from the outside world, although it seemed like he had disappeared for just a few hours, he had actually been busy for over ten hours inside the space.

Even so, more than half of the land in the System Space was still empty.

After being transported out, Lin Jing fell asleep immediately. He had been too busy lately, so busy that he didn’t even have time to practice Alchemy or the Controlling Fire Technique.

“After these next few days, I need to study Alchemy properly, and also the Controlling Fire Technique. It’s essential for Alchemy, and Senior Han has said that it needs serious cultivation,” Lin Jing thought to himself as he slowly drifted into sleep.
