Chapter 199: Chapter 133: You Have the Nerve to Only Give Me 200,000 Spirit Stones?

“””

June 3.

Chen Qing checked his ice cellar at least two times a day.

He always felt it was somewhat unreal.

The spirit stones came so quickly, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

It had been seven or eight days of bountiful harvests, yet Chen Qing still felt like he was living in a dream.

Only by inspecting them twice a day could he find some peace of mind.

“I need to have Xuanping come over to sell the spirit wine.”

“In the meantime, summon all the production cultivators from Cold Mountain City.”

“At present, there are still too few production cultivators, having more would allow us to cultivate better spiritual medicine.”

Chen Qing sent a letter, consumed over a thousand pounds of spiritual medicine, then commenced refining its potency and enhancing his cultivation progress.

Only after this did Chen Qing open his eyes, preparing for the day’s agenda.

As he walked out of the city lord’s mansion’s gate, Yuan Wujue came forward to report, “Sir, an envoy from the Dragon Horse Tribe has arrived.”

Chen Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, “What’s the matter?”

Yuan Wujue replied, “They’ve discovered a spirit stone mine and want us to intimidate the other tribes. Upon success, we would receive a twenty percent share of the spirit stones mined.”

Chen Qing wasn’t overly interested and waved his hand, “Let them in.”

Long Yin, clad in a white robe, entered the city lord’s mansion. From the first glance, Chen Qing found him somewhat disagreeable.

As a Nanli, wearing white, this person seemed to be somewhat unique and rather arrogant.

Long Yin offered his greetings to Chen Qing, “Fellow Daoist Qingxu, I’ve discovered a spirit stone mine downstream of the Lancang River, with reserves of about a million spirit stones.”

“In the past, we used to intimidate other tribes alongside the Yuan Rang Tribe, but their Great Witch has been imprisoned, and their tribe eradicated, so I’ve come to you.”

“We only need you to deploy a thousand men as intimidation. This would keep the nearby riffraff from coveting it, and each year you can take a twenty percent share of the revenue!”

Chen Qing nodded slightly, acknowledging he had met with Long Yin, and said, “This is easily done, I will send Wei Qingchen with a thousand men to provide intimidation.”

Long Yin started to say more, but Chen Qing waved it off, “Wu Jue, since Brother Long Yin has come to Jiuhe City, take him out to taste our local delicacies quickly, lest people say we don’t treat our guests well.”

Yuan Wujue laughed heartily and dragged Long Yin out of the city lord’s mansion, leaving Chen Qing to murmur disdainfully, “I thought it was some great mine, but it turns out to offer less than a hundred thousand spirit stones a year for such a big display!”

“I can make a stable daily income of at least thirty to forty thousand spirit stones in a day, why would I care for this?”

“Expecting me to handle this personally, losing fifty to sixty thousand spirit stones a day!”

Chen Qing summoned Jiang Miaoxian and instructed, “From now on, for business under a million spirit stones, discuss it with Wei Qingchen, just show me the results and accounts.”

“For business under a million spirit stones, don’t disturb my cultivation.”

“By the way, I have a concept for the Butterfly Loan, help me out with it.”

“For cultivators possessing Grass Spirit Gu and Tree Spirit Gu, once their Gu reach the Ninth Transformation, I can authorize substantial loans from the city lord’s mansion to help them transform their Gu into butterflies.”

“After the transformation, half of their annual salary can go toward repaying the loan, interest-free. What do you think?”

Jiang Miaoxian inquired with a hint of doubt, “Isn’t that too generous?”

Chen Qing replied, “With the transformation of Gu into butterflies, their ability to cultivate spiritual medicine would far surpass before.”

“Now, we’re only cultivating some spirit ginseng, the most common spiritual medicine, and even then a large portion requires my personal attention, which indeed interrupts my cultivation.”

“Only by cultivating a large number of cultivators with butterfly Gu can I truly free myself.”

“Moreover, the spirit stones on the books in the mansion are still quite ample. That’s settled then, you go and write up this announcement and take charge of the matter.”

“Also, regarding Grass Spirit Gu and Tree Spirit Gu cultivation, I have some insights. Bring those interested in the loan to me.”

Once the announcement was made, the whole city was abuzz.

The Gu becoming butterflies was a significant event, starting at least from ten thousand spirit stones.

If they saved up on their own, they could earn two or three thousand spirit stones a year at most.

Ten thousand spirit stones meant they would need to save for several decades!

It was essentially impossible within a lifetime.

But this loan concept intrigued them greatly.

According to the salary dispensation of Iron Flow Valley, cultivators possessing butterfly Gu could earn tens of thousands of spirit stones annually.

This way, even paying half yearly, it would only take twenty years to clear the debt.

This essentially offered a chance for cultivators who otherwise would miss the opportunity in their lifetime to obtain butterfly Gu!

Two days later, Xuanping brought a large group of production cultivators to Jiuhe City.

Initially reluctant to leave the place where they’d grown for decades, they, upon entering the city, saw a throng of cultivators around the announcement, deep in discussion.

“The lord’s method is too biased in favor of production cultivators!”

“Exactly, what about us, those who own Power Gu, can’t we take the loan for the butterfly transformation?”

“What are you talking about, we now have an army of three thousand, with production cultivators numbering only three hundred, naturally, the lord would focus on cultivating them!”

“Right, without production cultivators, where do our cultivation resources come from?”

Listening to the ceaseless debates ahead, Hei Yipin squeezed to the front to see what the announcement was about.

Seeing it, she was utterly astonished, “This…this…this…”

“As long as the Grass Spirit Gu or Tree Spirit Gu reaches the Ninth Transformation, you can take a loan from the city lord’s mansion to first have the Gu transform into butterflies!”

“After the transformation, then make repayments.”
