Chapter 38: Chapter 33 Zhang Yuan Cheng Visits_l

Translator: 549690339

The orders issued by the Sinong Palace received the support of nearly all the Spirit Farmers. They came to the Outer Sect of Liu Yun Sect to cultivate peacefully in the harsh Cultivation World and who wouldn't want more resources.

Moreover, a reduction in crop yield would not be their responsibility as Spirit Farmers, which naturally removed any concerns they might have had, and they, in turn, offered fervent support for the order issued by the Sinong Palace.

However, many Spiritual Field Managers were filled with trepidation, much like the end of the world was upon them. Many of them had become managers due to different connections and alliances, with farming abilities that were often inferior to even some Spirit Farmers, let alone instructing others on farming.

Nevertheless, they dared not voice any opposition, only muttering resentfully under their breath because it did not matter how powerful their connections were. None of them was more influential than the Golden Sword Zen Ren, the strongest combat power in the Liu Yun Sect.

Particularly, managers who had not treated the Spirit Farmers well in the past felt as if they had been dealt a powerful blow upon seeing the notice. Their faces drained of color. If there were too many objections, they, as the affluent Spiritual Field Managers, would end up losing their jobs.

Above all, Lin Yi continued leisurely making talisman templates after reading the notice. Adding to the ones made earlier, he also included the Concealment Charm, the primary use of which is to conceal one's breath from being detected by others. Though it had an ability to cover up one's cultivation level to an extent, this function was rather insignificant. Any cultivator of a higher realm or one possessing a spirit vision technique could see right through it.

The [Petty Survivor] title he held was unique in this regard, hiding the cultivation level in such a way that no cultivator would be able to see through it. He had tested this earlier. To a Foundation Building Cultivator, he still appeared to be at the Qi Refining Three Layers stage.

The title, when worn, would keep its effect intact all the time without any consumption, unlike talismans or spells which required constant activation.

Consider such an instance when a group of people venture into a Secret Realm. Even while resting or sleeping, one must maintain the use of the Concealing Breath Technique.

Upon his return, his neighbor Lv Qing Ming, who had a pair of big dogs, specifically visited him. He confessed that all his actions were instructed by

Zhang Yuan Cheng and even suggested that they join forces to oppose Zhang Yuan Cheng's continued position as the Spiritual Field Manager.

Lin Yi didn't express any opinions. He simply stated it depended on the situation.

In contrast to Lin Yi's nonchalance, Zhang Yuan Cheng was rather anxious. He looked at the paper filled with names, his expression fluctuating. These were none other than the Spirit Farmers from Zone B.

Fortunately, he hadn't harbored great animosity toward many Spirit Farmers. Only some newly joined Spirit Farmers were a source of significant contradictions.

Among them, Lin Yi's name was highlighted. Initially judging Lin Yi to be tame and naive, who couldn't string three words together to make a point, someone who could be easily swindled.

Therefore, he recruited him as an Outer Sect Spirit Farmer at a low price intending to exploit him later. To his surprise, Lin Yi not only endured but also excelled at farming.

Zhang Yuan Cheng's face darkened as he continued to contemplate. Emotions complexed within him. His antagonism with Lin Yi hadn't reached the point of no return, the main point of disagreement centered around the murder of an innocent girl.

He felt that Xun Fang Pavilion's Xiao He sudden disappearance could be attributed to Lin Yi. Hence, their animosity wasn't particularly intense.

Should he, who had previously appeared overbearing and constantly targeting Lin Yi, now abide and display a submissive attitude? Should he please and appease this guy? The struggle was real.

There was another solution, making this man disappear completely. He had done such things before.

However, no sooner had this suggestion appeared in his mind than he dismissed it. With the Sinong Palace under new management, committing murder was akin to courting unnecessarily detrimental attention. Besides, there was still some room for improvement in his relationship with Lin Yi.

After Zhang Yuan Cheng had pondered for a moment, he thought of the message passed on by Lv Qing Ming. He slapped the table abruptly and said, “Forget it, in the quest for wealth, all men die; for sustenance birds perish. Keep him happy, and I can take advantage of his farming talent to get rewards and promotional opportunities.”

That night, he carried a package and quietly arrived at Lin Yi's house under the cloak of darkness. When he saw the light inside, he sighed in relief and gently knocked on the door.

At that moment, Lin Yi was busy making talisman templates in his secret basement while Zhi Ling abruptly flew into the basement from the surface, gesturing towards the upper level and chirping a few times.

He immediately understood. Someone was at the door. So, he tidied up, left the basement and returned to the surface.

Hearing the gentle knock, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed the main character arrived.

Lin Yi casually strolled to the courtyard entrance and asked, “Who's there at this late hour?”

“Ahem, it's me, Zhang Yuan Cheng,” Zhang Yuan Cheng cleared his throat and whispered softly. Even the form of address had changed from “Number 38 of

Zone B” to “Lin Dao You – Friend Lin”.

“So, it's Manager Zhang, please come in.” Lin Yi opened the door, expressing apparent surprise.

Zhang Yuan Cheng came in briskly, carrying a package. “Friend Lin, can we go inside and talk?”

“Sure, please come in,” Lin Yi closed the entrance and invited Zhang Yuan Cheng inside, pouring him a cup of tea.

“Friend Lin, you've done an excellent job with this courtyard. You have chickens, vegetables, even flowers,” Zhang Yuan Cheng picked up the cup of tea, took a slight sip, and said with a smile.

“Thank you for your kind words, Manager Zhang. I'm curious though, what brings you here so late at night?” Not wanting to waste time on pointless chatter, Lin Yi posed the direct question.

A hint of embarrassment crossed Zhang Yuan Cheng's face. He placed the package on the table and gently opened it. The package contained several pieces of Spirit Stones, about thirty or so. Any junior cultivator would be tempted by these.

Pushing the package slightly towards Lin Yi, he stood up and cupped his fist, saying, “Friend Lin, I am to blame for any past disagreements. Please forgive me. I hope we can assist each other in the future and manage the Spiritual Field together.”

Looking at the few dozen Spirit Stones in the package, Lin Yi couldn't help but lament. He had been turned down when he offered Spirit Stones in the past. Now, the tables had turned. He just smiled and did not touch the package.

“You're too kind, Manager Zhang. There's no need for such underhanded tactics. Farming is my job, and I will farm well. In the future, I may need your help with many things. Please, take these Spirit Stones back,” Lin Yi replied.

Zhang Yuan Cheng's expression slightly faltered. He didn't expect his previous words to return to him. He pushed the package forward again, “Friend Lin, this is a token of my sincerity. I genuinely want to be friends with you.”

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Yuan Cheng and said with a smile, “On the subject of proper farming, we're already friends. It depends on whether Manager Zhang considers me as a friend. Personally, I am content if I can carry on farming peacefully.”

“Thank you, Manager Zhang, for your visit today. I need to practice cultivation, so I won't keep you any longer.” He was quick to add.

Reluctantly, Zhang Yuan Cheng took back the Spirit Stones, stood up, and left.

As he left the courtyard, he kept a smile on his face, turned around, and said, “Of course, I will treat Friend Lin as my friend, goodbye.”

The moment he turned to leave, his smile-filled face immediately darkened. He was well aware that under the new order of Sinong Palace, Lin Yi's farming talent would provide significant advantages.

However, this kid was too difficult to control, his farming talent might earn him a promotion more quickly than himself. This realization made him agitated once again..
