Gou Zai Shen seeks immortality

"Zhou is a professional in pest control! We guarantee that the pest infestation in the twenty acres of spiritual land will be eliminated within three days."

"Only one spiritual stone per acre."

"Recently, you need to make a reservation for pest control. Every day you are late, you may not know how much damage will be caused to the spiritual field."

Zhou Lezhi's face was full of arrogance, as if you didn't get rid of the pests, and many spiritual farmers were waiting in line to get rid of the pests.

Even when pests are pressing down on you, you won’t be afraid of spiritual farmers and won’t bow your head.

"What? One spiritual stone per acre?"

"This is too expensive!"

"In the past, there were only five broken souls per acre."

"Twenty spirit stones are not a small amount, how could I possibly get them?!"

Yang Bingzhi was anxious. The price of pest control was too high and he couldn't afford it.

For planting twenty acres of spiritual land, the land rent accounts for 50% of the harvest year, spiritual rice seeds account for 20%, and other expenses.

A busy year is over, and in a good harvest year you can earn up to twenty spiritual stones.

If there is a bad year or a bad harvest, you will have to work in vain for a year and have to build spiritual stones.

The spiritual stones earned have to be used for cultivation, and the spiritual farmers are not well-off.

"Can it be cheaper? I really can't afford so many spiritual stones."

If we leave the insect infestation alone, the harvest of twenty acres of spiritual land will be ruined?

This is not possible!

The loss of spiritual stones was a huge amount, and he couldn't afford compensation, let alone next year's land rent and spiritual rice seed money.

As a spiritual farmer, making a living in the fields, how could he be willing to give up the spiritual rice he had worked so hard to grow?

Zhou Lezhi laughed, rolled his eyes, and smiled quickly.

"When monks are in trouble, you can go to Tianhefang Bank to borrow spiritual stones. It won't be too late to make up for it when the harvest is ready."

Until this moment, Zhou Lezhi showed his fox tail.

Yang Bingzhi turned pale when he heard the words Tianhefang Bank.

How could he not have heard of Tianhefang, a place that eats people without spitting out their bones?

The loan shark who comes out nine times and returns thirteen times!

If you borrow twenty spiritual stones and don't wait to pay them back, they will grow into a terrifying amount.

I can't even borrow it from Tianhefang Bank if I die!

"what to do?"

The spiritual field cannot be used without pest control. Twenty acres of the spiritual field cannot be managed by one person...

The monks I know well are all spiritual farmers who are busy with their own one-third of an acre of land and have no time to lend a helping hand.

Just when Yang Bingzhi was distressed, Zhou Lezhi's persuasive voice sounded.

"It's the harvest season of spiritual rice soon. It's too late to borrow. It's just that I can't keep the rice. I can't pay off the debt."

This is putting pressure on Yang Bingzhi, and he is using the spirit stone to tide over the difficulties.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, when did you start the business of lending money and removing pests?"

Jia Ren listened to what the two said. He walked out of the spiritual field and looked at Zhou Lezhi with a slight sarcasm.

"Is this the way to get rich that you want to introduce to Jia?"

Zhou Lezhi was stunned, not expecting to see Jia Ren in Dahuang Mountain.

"Brother Jia, have you and fellow Taoist Yang moved to the inner city?"

"Congratulations to Brother Jia for entering the inner city."

Zhou Lezhi's eyes flickered, he was extremely afraid of Yang Shengwu.

The monks in the late stages of Qi refining cannot afford to be provoked.

Yang Shengwu didn't dare to take Yang Shengwu's warning to heart, and his attitude towards Jia Ren was much better than before.

"Since I am a friend of Daoist Jia, the price is cheaper, how about eighteen spiritual stones?"

Zhou Lezhi was willing to give Jia Ren face and took the initiative to lower the price of pest control.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, I am willing to..."

Yang Bingzhi heard that the two of them were familiar with each other and offered two spiritual stones for free, so it was hard to refuse, lest they become enemies of the two fellow Taoists.

Just borrow the spiritual stone from Tianhefang. You should be able to pay it back if you grit your teeth.

"Wait!"

Just when cooperation was about to be reached, Jia Ren stepped in.

You have to keep silent, otherwise, Yang Bingzhi will really be tricked to death.

The price reduction made Yang Bingzhi think there was an "advantage" to be taken advantage of. This was because Zhou Lezhi wanted to use the relationship between the two as a breakthrough.

I know your friend well, how could I lie to you?

It is equivalent to borrowing Jia Ren's momentum.

Just normal transactions, he won't interfere.

Based on my understanding of Zhou Lezhi, this guy has always been good at deception, and the upright Yang Bingzhi was afraid that he would be deceived to death.

In the end, even the ‘accomplices’ will be resentful together.

There is no benefit at all, just provoking enemies for nothing.

"Brother Jia, two spiritual stones for cheap are already pretty good."

“I’m not the only Taoist friend who gets rid of pests.”

Zhou Lezhi's face turned cold. No one would have a good impression of someone who ruined his financial resources.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, think about it for a day longer and don't rush to make a reply."

Jia Ren ignored Zhou Lezhi and reminded him.

The dragging technique is a magical skill, and it is very appropriate to use it here.

That’s all.

He didn't want to break up with Zhou Lezhi and be hated by others.

Yang Bingzhi did not refuse. The pest problem could not be solved in a short time, so it would not matter if it was delayed for a day.

Zhou Lezhi was unhappy, but it was difficult to express himself, so he could only leave in anger.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, is there a problem?"

Yang Bingzhi is a simple and honest person, which does not mean he is stupid.

Jia Ren interrupted the transaction again and again, there must be something wrong.

"Zhou Lezhi is good at deception and deception, and he is not a good person to eliminate insects."

"The spiritual stone at Tianhefang Bank is hot, so it's best not to borrow it."

Yang Bingzhi sighed and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The two of them didn't have a close friendship. If they rashly asked to borrow the spirit stone, not only would they not be able to borrow it, but their relationship would also be ruined.

"By the way, I have a question."

"Are there only hornworms in the spiritual field?"

Jia Ren didn't spend much time in the spiritual field, and encountered very few other types of spiritual insects, except for the overpopulation of ground hornworms.

"There are many kinds of spiritual insects in the spiritual field, including ground dragon insects, locusts, millipedes..."

Yang Bingzhi reported the name of the spirit insect like a treasure.

He has been cultivating spiritual fields for many years, is proficient in the Geng Golden Finger, and has killed many spiritual insects.

In non-insect years, the insects in the spiritual field are dealt with by oneself.

"Is it the hornworm that causes the annual insect infestation?"

Jia Ren felt something was wrong and couldn't tell.

According to the information about ground hornworms in the Imperial Insect Sutra, ground hornworms do not have strong reproductive capabilities. Their only advantage is that they lay eggs in a hidden way, making them difficult to detect.

As long as you are not lazy in pest control, it stands to reason that there is no possibility of the hornworms spreading.

"In the past, insect plagues were caused by locusts, but this is the first time we have seen a plague of locusts."

"Compared to the migratory locust plague, the hornworm plague is much milder and can be treated with pest control."

When Yang Bingzhi thought of the locust plague, his face turned pale.

As long as there is a migratory locust plague, the overwhelming migratory locusts cannot be killed even with magic.

Wherever the locust swarms go, not a single blade of grass grows.

By then, it will not be that the production of spiritual rice is reduced, but that there will be nothing left.

When encountering a locust plague, the Five Elements Sect would take action, but no one would compensate the spiritual farmers for their losses.

Fortunately, the migratory locust plague has not appeared for many years.

"There's never been a hornworm infestation?"

"The pest infestation is relatively mild? Is there still a chance of pest control?"

Jia Ren finally knew the answer and couldn't help but laugh.

“Have you ever considered that the hornworm plague is man-made?”

As long as the profits are high enough, some people will take risks at all costs, even if they risk death.

With Jia Ren's insight, he can see a hidden chain of interests in pest control and loan lending.

Spiritual farmers are the targets of the scythe.

"What? The hornworm is suspected to be man-made?"

Yang Bingzhi was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.

If this thing is true...

"How audacious!"

"I will report this matter to the Five Elements Sect! The Five Elements Sect will send someone to investigate."

Yang Bingzhi has great trust in the Five Elements Sect. With the importance the Five Elements Sect attaches to Lingtian, if someone is really causing trouble, they will definitely get to the bottom of it.
