Chapter 8

Ji Mingqing was immersed in the joy of the upcoming harvest. He looked at the lush green seedlings on the ground and said with some joy, "The fairyland is so good. Even farming is so simple."

Bai Cangze, who participated in the entire process, inspected the area twice and finally had to admit that all the rows of seeds were indeed alive.

The one that was broken in half because Ji Mingqing squeezed it too hard when planting it doesn’t count.

Bai Cangze knew Ji Mingqing's background. He was not some extraordinary person with natural talents, but just an ordinary human.

This person is really lucky.

Bai Cangze could only temporarily attribute his success to fate.

When they returned to Anding Palace that night, Ji Mingqing couldn't wait to share the good news with Lu Jiyao. Lu Jiyao had never grown fairy grass before and had no idea what this was all about. He congratulated Ji Mingqing and said, "Congratulations, I also want to plant something in the yard. Can I go and take a look tomorrow?"

If he had known it was so simple, he would have planted something in the small yard.

Ji Mingqing naturally agreed, and then Lu Jiyao remembered something.

"I didn't even get to eat a few bites of the fish you brought me today." Lu Jiyao said, "Although some people don't like spicy food, there are also many who like it. They said they want the same thing tomorrow."

Lu Jiyao said with some reluctance, "It counts as one for me too. I haven't eaten enough today. By the way, how much is your price?"

Ji Mingqing was stunned. He hadn't even thought about the price, so he quickly discussed with Lu Jiyao, "What do you think is a suitable price?"

"I think it's worth every immortal stone!"

Ji Mingqing: "...My mood has inexplicably improved."

"Last time we had dinner with Du Tong, how much did the food cost? Although we don't have a formal restaurant, my portions are quite generous, so the prices can be comparable. What do you think?"

Lu Jiyao nodded, "I think it's okay. The food there is not very expensive. A small plate costs between eighty and one hundred spirit beads."

"Then I'll order one immortal bead, which includes the staple food and a pot... a dish." Ji Mingqing thought about it and thought that the immortals in the fighting arena should all be immortals with big appetites. After deducting the cost, he can still earn about half.

After all, you catch the fish yourself.

"So how much did you make today?" Lu Jiyao asked impatiently, "Give me my share first."

Ji Mingqing thought for a moment, then took out Lu Jiyao's portion and said, "I'd like to ask you for a favor. From now on, you can tell me the number of portions you need for the next day. I'll prepare them according to your needs, and then you can help me deliver them to the fighting arena. Let's make a contract. In addition to your meals, I'll give you an extra five immortal beads every month."

Ji Mingqing estimated that five fairy pearls should be about the same. The two of them only earned 200 spirit pearls a month in Anding Palace, which was only two fairy pearls. Lu Jiyao should agree.

"Okay!" As expected, Lu Jiyao agreed as soon as Ji Mingqing finished speaking. For him, delivering goods and counting the numbers was just a matter of convenience. He was willing to help even without being paid.

When Ji Mingqing saw that Lu Jiyao did not look embarrassed at all, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had met a truly kind-hearted immortal.

If the person living next door to him was the kind of person who greeted him when he first arrived and then backed away at the sight of him, he would probably still be sweeping fallen leaves with nothing to do.

After Ji Mingqing and Lu Jiyao signed the teleportation contract, Lu Jiyao's third job was officially listed in the fairy world.

The next day, Ji Mingqing was busy in the kitchen while chatting with Xiaowan who was standing on the table.

"When we start stewing, let's go out and look at the immortal grass together. Do you know what I'm growing? It's the Soul Gathering Fruit. I heard it can increase your cultivation. When it's ripe, we can keep some. But it looks a bit like leeks. Do you like leeks?"

Ji Mingqing turned around and looked at Xiaowan unexpectedly, which scared Bai Cangze.

"It's okay. Whether you like it or not, I'll make it for you in a few days. The fairyland is really great. Not only are there most of the dishes I've seen, but there are also many I haven't seen before. I plan to try them all."

Bai Cangze was stunned for a moment. He recalled that when he returned to Kunze Palace last night, he found a few subordinates who had never farmed before and asked them to recite the spell according to Ji Mingqing's method to see if farming had become easier because of the recent changes in the world.

If so, he should start preparing early.

As a result, let alone reciting the formula according to Ji Mingqing's method, some people recited the formula very fluently, but eight out of ten of the magical herbs they planted did not survive.

It seems that it is not the change of heaven and earth, but the problem is with Ji Mingqing.

Bai Cangze became interested.

There was nothing unusual about this person's registration in the Book of Ascension. He planned to extend the observation time and try to find out what was different about Ji Mingqing.

"...Xiao Wan, are you listening?" Ji Mingqing walked to the dining table, bent down and said with a smile: "I'm going out to see the fairy grass. Do you want to come with me?"

Bai Cangze jumped off the table after hearing this. Ji Mingqing knew at a glance that Xiaowan was going out with him, and his heart suddenly brightened.

Xiaowan is simply the perfect cat. Of course, it would be even better if she could be held in her arms.

The Spirit Gathering Fruit that Ji Mingqing bought was a relatively common but relatively low-value kind in the fairy world. However, this did not affect Ji Mingqing's enthusiasm. He even slowed down his breathing when he got close to Xiao Miao.

"They are so cute." Ji Mingqing said softly. Seeing the growth of life made him feel very novel. It was not until a long time later that Ji Ming heard the sound coming from outside the door, and he got up reluctantly.

"It's me!" Hearing Lu Jiyao's voice, Ji Mingqing immediately ran to open the door. As soon as he entered, Lu Jiyao urged, "Show me where your crops are?"

"Here!" Ji Mingqing led Lu Jiyao to his small garden. Looking at the rows of green seedlings, Lu Jiyao was amazed.

"They all say that growing things is difficult, but I don't think it's that difficult. I think they're just exaggerating." Lu Jiyao touched his chin, a little tempted, "What are you doing? I'll go back and try growing something similar."

"I'm growing Spirit Gathering Fruit..." Ji Mingqing shared his planting process with Lu Jiyao in detail, bit by bit, and finally encouraged him, "If a novice like me can grow it, you can do it too!"

Bai Cangze was speechless as he watched the two novices who had only a vague understanding of the matter encouraging each other.

It would have been fine if Ji Mingqing was a new immortal who knew nothing, but that ordinary immortal actually sincerely thought that this was feasible.

What a stupid dog.

Bai Cangze looked at Lu Jiyao with a little displeasure. He jumped off the recliner and prepared to leave. At this time, Ji Ming heard the creaking sound of the recliner, turned around and saw Xiaowan.

"Oh right, that's the Xiaowan I was talking about!" Ji Mingqing quickly patted Lu Jiyao on the shoulder, "Look, isn't he just like I said, beautiful and noble?"

"Hmm?" Bai Cangze stopped on his way out.

This new immortal has good vision. He can tell his own extraordinaryness just from his cub form.

"Indeed, it's rare to see a kitten with such white fur. I just don't know if it can help catch fish." Lu Jiyao licked his lips, still savoring the food he had eaten at noon today.

After hearing what Lu Jiyao said, Bai Cangze glared at him fiercely, but Lu Jiyao was completely unaware. His entire mind was drawn away by the kitchen.

He could smell the fragrance.

Bai Cangze cursed "silly dog" in his heart again. Then he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ji Mingqing.

"Xiao Wan, it's time for dinner. Today we have steamed seafood hodgepodge and radish fish ball soup."

Bai Cangze paused and thought, forget it, let’s finish eating first.

While eating, Lu Jiyao did not make any noisy noises as Bai Cangze had imagined, even though he ate at a different speed than an ordinary person, which made him feel a little better.

"Xiao Wan, do you want to eat some more?" Ji Mingqing always subconsciously lowered his voice when speaking to Xiao Wan, which made Bai Cangze very happy. So after Ji Mingqing asked him, he nodded reservedly.

When Ji Mingqing saw Xiaowan agreed, he smiled so much that his eyes curved, "It seems that Xiaowan really likes what I make."

"My brothers in the fighting arena and I like it too. By the way, six people want to order meals tomorrow, and one person wants two servings." After Lu Jiyao finished speaking, he took out a white jade ring from his storage bag.

"This is a fairy ring. We can use it to communicate with each other every day."

Ji Mingqing saw the fairy ring that Lu Jiyao placed on the table, slapped his forehead and said, "I was just saying I forgot something. I forgot to buy the fairy ring."

The fairy ring is a bit like a mobile phone in the human world. It is mainly used to contact fairies. After two people exchange marks, they can communicate directly.

"Thanks, I'll give you the money in a moment."

Bai Cangze looked at the fairy ring on the table and frowned. This thing should be equipped by every fairy when coming to the fairyland. It is the lowest level one. Why does it sound like Lu Jiyao bought this thing?

"Do you want to give it to Xiaowan... Hey? Where's Xiaowan?" Ji Mingqing raised his head and saw that Xiaowan had disappeared, so he asked Lu Jiyao.

Lu Jiyao didn't notice it either. He was just pouring the soup into the rice and preparing to eat another bowl.

Bai Cangze called his men as soon as he returned to Kunze Palace, "Go and investigate. Someone cut corners in the gift of the new immortal companion to the immortal world. Find out where the problem lies."

"Yes, my lord."

Bai Cangze didn't think that this was just a small mistake. Although the fairy world seemed lax, every action of everyone would be strictly recorded. For example, Lu Jiyao. Bai Cangze just glanced at it and knew that he had received a job offer from Ji Mingqing yesterday.

Xinxian is missing something, there must be something wrong in some link.

Ji Mingqing didn't know that his small action would cause the Lord to mobilize such a large force. At this moment, he was at a loss as to what to do with the bamboo strips he had just split in his hand.

"What kind of toy should I make for Xiaowan..."
