Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 48: Danger?

Wind and rain came, snow froze the earth, green buds broke through the earth, and bright sunshine bathed the earth in orange.

One and a half cycles passed just like that.

Fengyu walked back from his trip to the general store, having sold ducks and eggs again.

His income had jumped even higher, and today was the day where he paid back the steward in full. In over 17 months he amassed around 441 spirit stones monthly – reducing the 50 spirit stones for the duck feed, 10 spirit stones for his own food, and an additional 30 for each of Zimu, Silver Feather and Spring Rain, an added benefit after he earned more money.

The result was him earning nearly 6.000 in these years.

He had 7.000 spirit stones saved up prior, which he had given away today to pay back the Three Tunes Flute.

When the steward received the amount, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even if he could save such an amount, it was still an extremely large sum.

Just as Fengyu saw his field from afar, he also saw a middle-aged man standing in front of his field.

Fengyu frowned deeply as he went over, trying to enter his field without attracting the guy’s attention.

But the man saw Fengyu right as he entered and came forward with a big smile, "Younger brother, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you!"

Fengyu ignored the man and tried to walk into his field with his cart, about to use the spiritual control art to make the formation plate inside open up the formation.

"Hey, stop, don’t walk away!" the man walked in front of Fengyu and blocked his path, his expression losing the polite smile.

"Didn’t you hear that I waited for you? You’re called Fengyu, right? I’m just here to borrow a few spirit stones.

Just a hundred, that’s all.

You’re going to give them to me, right?

I’ll pay you back next month with 10% interest, how about it?"

"Go away," Fengyu frowned and told him clearly.

The man didn’t budge and continued, "Alright, 90 spirit stones, but you can give me that much, right? After all, you’re earning so well, can’t you give a senior a helping hand?"

Fengyu looked at the guy, feeling his aura; he was at the fifth stage of Qi Refining.

But he didn’t step back nor make a concession; instead, holding the flute in one hand and making various hand symbols in another, he looked menacingly at the man.

Just as the man was about to talk again, Fengyu suddenly shouted, "Silver Feather Spell, Shoot!"

Instantly, a silver feather formed in front of Fengyu and shot out, targeting the man!

The man was stunned, standing in place, not even raising his hand to protect himself!

Right before the feather was about to hit the man’s face, it actually passed by, only cutting the side of his head ever so slightly.

"You, you- you dare attack me?!"

"I was practicing spells in front of my own field when suddenly a stranger came closer than 100 metres around my field, which is clearly marked as my territory in the Village Hall’s rules.

This was an accident because you didn’t follow the rules.

Accidents are prone to happen, I suggest you leave," Fengyu looked coldly at the man, a smile appearing on his face, murderous intent gathering slightly.

"You!" the man shouted, but his legs ran away several metres.

Seeing this, Fengyu ignored him and entered his field, closing the formation right after entering.

Inside, he turned and looked at the man walking away with hurried steps.

"This is the third today. Two spoke to me on my way to the Village Hall, and one directly waited here.

Who revealed I earned a lot?

Borrowing 100 spirit stones... they should be guessing my income is around 1.000 spirit stones, thinking of making outrageous demands and then lowering it to fifty or thirty.

What kind of nonsense is that?

It seems I’ve been too open with my income.

In addition, because I looked rather weak and only reached the fourth stage, these old cultivators are thinking that I can’t fight back, thinking of tricking me.

Zimu, how about you stay in the field next time?

Take care of the field and make sure no one foreign enters it.

Your spiritual control has become strong enough to use a formation plate, right?"

Fengyu looked at Zimu, as well as Spring Rain and Silver Feather who had come out.

Spirit Beasts, with enhanced intelligence, can learn creation arts and spells.

Although currently their intelligence was too low to learn creation arts, and their cultivation was too low for spells, they can still learn some control arts.

Fengyu had taught the three of them and Zimu, with the greatest intelligence, comprehension, talent and cultivation, became the first to master the Entry stage of this art.

Arts, like spells and techniques, were also graded from Entry up to Perfection and Grand Perfection.

But what they graded was the depth of the control over elements – for example, controlling water fully reaches the Entry stage, making it freeze is the Minor Accomplishment stage, making it gaseous is the Major Accomplishment stage, and changing between the stages freely in a second is Perfection. Grand Perfection was beyond Fengyu’s knowledge.

"I can control the array plate, but are you sure I shouldn’t go with you?" Zimu asked in worry.

"I can take care of myself well enough, and the ducks won’t bother me. I’m more worried about the over fifty high-quality ducks in the field at all times.

Although Spring Rain and Silver Feather can take care of the ducks and protect the field, if someone broke through the unguarded formation, then they will inevitably be able to steal something.

It’s better to have you controlling it and not take the risk.

Now, let’s stop talking too much about these things. As long as I stay in the field, they won’t do anything.

Spring Rain, how is Wind Claw?"
