Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 254: Got to Cultivate Faster

Trot.

The trotting sound of the horses sounded monotonously outside the horse carriage.

Scenes of the daily life in the city went by the windows while Lin Xuan Qi looked out from one of them.

Men, women and children went on with their daily activities.

Families were out preparing for the autumn and winter, buying essentials like dried food, coats and firewood.

Everyone was in their own little world that was filled with happiness for what they had, anxieties for the future and frustrations for things that happened or didn’t happen to them.

The natural cycle of life moves on and the Tian Dao is merciless in its ways.

Lin Xuan Qi gave out a sigh and closed his eyes.

He hasn’t felt this way for a very long time.

Being a mortal meant that you would be subjected to the common pains and sufferings like illness and eventual death.

There wasn’t much time...

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the wooden chests with the taels of silver that were in the horse carriage.

He had gotten them from the retail store after he left the Sima Mansion and was on his way back home.

The thousand over taels of silver didn’t seem just as much to him now.

It wasn’t enough.

A Dragon Tail Herb costs a Spirit Stone, which would be ten taels of gold.

And that would be a hundred taels of silver.

The thousand over taels of silver he had now was only enough to buy ten of the Dragon Tail Herb.

If he tried to conjure the Five-Element Qi Concentration Pills, he would also have to go through some failures before he would be able to successfully do so.

These thoughts about how expensive it was made him give out a long sigh.

He glanced out of the window of the horse carriage to make himself feel better but he noticed something different in the street near his mansion.

There was a crowd standing around the plot of land.

And next to them were stacks of wood, rocks and many equipment that seemed to be used for carpentry.

Some of the men had hammers, shovels and saws in their hands.

They were crowded around a man who was in silk robes and looked comparatively healthier than those surrounding him.

He took a step forward and raised his hands.

White glow emerged out from his hands and the white glow extended out towards a stack of round wood that was huge.

These woods had a diameter that was the length of an adult’s height.

Miraculously, the white glow engulfed a few of the woods and lifted them up.

"What..."

"How is that possible?"

"Shhh. Don’t question a cultivator."

The men with the hammers and other equipment in their hands were astonished to see the huge and heavy wood being lifted by the white glow that was conjured by the man.

That surprised Lin Xuan Qi too as it was the first time he saw a cultivator making use of spells to do such a feat.

He thought about the spells in the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques and how he could also use them for such...practical purposes.

The round wood flew and was plunged into the ground that had been dug with holes beforehand.

It was apparent to him that these huge round woods were the pillars for a new building.

"We meet again."

While he was witnessing what was going on, a familiar voice suddenly sounded and the horse carriage stopped.

Lin Xuan Qi popped his head out from the window and he frowned when he saw who it was.

Lu Ting from the Lu Clan was standing in front of his horse carriage with a huge smile looking at him.

"Good day, neighbor." Lu Ting said and waved at him.

"Good day indeed..." He sighed silently when he heard her addressing him as neighbor.

After she had left previously, he thought that she would have gone back to the capital and her talk about buying the property around the mansion was just chatter.

But now, with her in front of his horse carriage and all the men that looked like they were building a house, he knew that she was serious now.

Guess the neighborhood would be different from now on. He mumbled to himself silently.

"Wait for me." Lin Xuan Qi said to the coachman and opened the door of the horse carriage.

He got out and Lu Ting came up to him and said, "Long time no see."

"It’s been a while." Lin Xuan Qi replied and pointed at the activities that were going on at the plot of land, "What’s this about?"

"Oh this, I was just about to pay you a visit to inform you about this.

"This would be my new home when it’s completed."

Lin Xuan Qi gave her a fake smile and said, "This place isn’t worth the investment.

"There is nothing around, no inns, no busy streets.

"Only my Lin Mansion is around."

He tried to persuade her to change her mind.

But she wasn’t bothered.

That was her sole purpose.

She was here specifically for the Lin Mansion and the head of it all, Lin Xuan Qi.

Ghost Hands Fong’s voice boomed in her mind excitedly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"His special essence has gotten even stronger than before.

"You must seize this opportunity to let him help you ascend to the next level of cultivation."

Lu Ting heard her and tried to continue the conversation.

She didn’t have much to say with Lin Xuan Qi so she brought up what she knew of him.

"How’s that Dragon Tail Herb doing for you? Were you able to..."

Lin Xuan Qi wanted to roll his eyes at her but he didn’t and replied, "I’m not married yet in case you didn’t know."

"You are not married?" Lu Ting’s eyes opened wide and she felt that she might have a chance with him.

Lin Xuan Qi was good looking and even if he wasn’t a cultivator, she was willing to be his wife if it was what it took to let him help break the curse of her Nine Heavens Pristine Ice Dantian.

But her hope was diminished immediately by him.

"Yes, I’m not married yet but the wedding day would be on next Monday."

Silence ensued with Lu Ting not knowing what to say.
