Chapter 73 Buying a Homestead



To build a large spirit gathering array, the first thing to do is to find a suitable array center. Jiaojiao summoned the bird fairy, lay on the bird's back, and circled above the Daqing Mountain, looking for a suitable array center.

When the old Chinese doctor Qi took Qin Zhongyi up the mountain, Jiaojiao was still flying in the sky.

Master Ma had already returned from his morning classes in the mountains early in the morning. Despite his usual eccentricity, he actually rose at two in the morning, trekking up the mountain in the dark, and didn't return until seven. In the morning, the essence of heaven and earth began to bloom, absorbed into his body with every breath he took.

Master Ma was in high spirits and walked briskly down the mountain path.

On the way, he met Dr. Qi and his friend Qin Zhongyi. Master Ma hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran up the mountain.

Old Chinese doctor Qi and Qin Zhongyi looked at each other.

"That guy just now, was he the Taoist priest from the mountain?" Qin Zhongyi asked in confusion, "Why did he run up the mountain when he saw us?"

Dr. Qi, an old Chinese doctor, had met Master Ma in the Wangjia Village cafeteria. He shook his head and said, "He's not really from the mountain. He should be living in Wangjia Village at the foot of the mountain. But why he's running up there, I'm not sure. Let's go up and take a look."

Why were they running up? Because the stream where they'd picked up rocks last time wasn't far away! Master Ma knew something was up with Dr. Qi going up the mountain so early in the morning; maybe he was going to pick up rocks again!

Master Ma stood by the stream, thought for a moment, then turned around and waited for Dr. Qi and the other old Chinese doctor to come up the mountain.

The old Chinese doctor Qi had indeed brought his old friend to touch the stones. When they saw Master Ma standing by the stream from a distance, they nodded to him politely.

Unexpectedly, Master Ma took a few steps forward and stood in front of them.

Old Chinese doctor Qi looked at him in surprise.

"I opened this mountain, I dug this river..."

Before he could finish his words, a small stone hit the back of his head.

He looked back and saw a little monkey hanging on a branch, grinning at him.

Master Ma often goes up the mountain, so he naturally knows that these monkeys are very clever and should not be easily provoked.

Master Ma looked at the rocks at the bottom of the stream and said with some regret, "Okay, I'll be magnanimous for once."

Old Chinese Doctor Qi...I don't know if you are stupid or I am stupid!

Master Ma was watching closely from the side. Old Chinese doctor Qi didn't know whether he should take his old friend to pick up stones. The three of them stared at each other in a daze for a while.

Jiaojiao had already circled several times in the air. She used a spring as the center of the formation, and placed a spirit stone on each side. The spirit stones fell into the earth and disappeared in an instant, followed by waves of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy spread out, and the range it affected became wider and wider.

Finally, the spiritual energy from several directions gathered together and slowly spread out in all directions.

Master Ma and his companions were positioned at the center of the formation. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in from the forest, enveloping them. They felt the breeze caress their faces, the coolness of the wind seeping into their pores, and they felt a sense of ease and comfort.

As the breeze passed, Old Chinese Doctor Qi and Qin Zhongyi looked at each other, their eyes filled with unconcealable shock.

Master Ma had sat down cross-legged without anyone noticing. He closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees, and his breathing was very rhythmic.

Old Chinese medicine practitioner Qi and Qin Zhongyi followed suit, each choosing a stone to sit on, closing their eyes and breathing, absorbing spiritual energy from nature.

After Jiaojiao set up the spirit gathering array, she returned to the space to recover her energy.

In the evening, Master Ma was the first to open his eyes, patted his butt and went down the mountain.

The old Chinese doctor Qi and Qin Zhongyi also recovered from their meditation state soon after, with surprise on their faces.

"I wonder if I can buy a house and live in this village at the foot of the mountain..." Qin Zhongyi asked.

"I'll go ask Old Lady Feng. She seems to have some influence in Wangjia Village."

Wangjia Village had just finished dinner. The villagers came out of the brigade cafeteria in twos and threes, chatting about family matters as they walked.

Master Ma Ye Chenggong arrived in time for dinner and ate a lot. He was walking out while stroking his round belly and burping.

When Dr. Qi and Qin Zhongyi saw Mrs. Feng leading Jiaojiao out of the cafeteria, they hurried forward and said, "Mrs. Feng! Can you please excuse me?"

Jiaojiao stared at Qin Zhongyi. Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, so Qin Zhongyi bent down and teased her: "Little girl, what's your name?"

Qin Zhongyi is in his sixties this year. He is very thin and his face is a little dark and blue. It is obvious that his kidneys are not in good condition.

"Grandpa, my name is Jiaojiao. Are you Grandpa Qi's friend? Let me give you a fruit!"

Jiaojiao took out a bright red fruit from her pocket.

Qin Zhongyi took it and put it in his mouth. The fruit melted in his mouth, and a light sweetness spread throughout his mouth. After swallowing it, it felt like a warm current flowed down his esophagus, and his whole body felt warm and comfortable.

Qin Zhongyi had never thought that such a small fruit could have such an effect. He secretly regretted that he had just thought it was just an ordinary fruit and had not even taken a closer look at what it looked like.

"Jiaojiao, what kind of fruit is this?"

"Red fruit!" Jiaojiao answered innocently.

Well...it really lives up to its name.

"Do you still have this fruit? Grandpa wants to buy some from you!"

"Okay, okay, Grandpa, will you come tomorrow? I'll pick them for you tomorrow!"

These red fruits were actually a product of Jiaojiao's space mountain. Jiaojiao didn't know what they were called, nor did she know what their effects were. But since they were produced in space, they must have some use. So she planted a patch of them.

She had eaten many of them herself before and didn't find anything special.

One day, a fawn bitten by a venomous snake hurriedly nibbled on some fruit. Then something miraculous happened. The fawn, untreated, showed no signs of poisoning and was alive and well, completely fine.

Since that time, Jiaojiao knew that this red fruit could detoxify.

Qin Zhongyi quickly said, "Okay! I'll come back tomorrow! Give me as much as you can!"

Next to them, old Chinese doctor Qi had consulted old lady Feng about buying a house in Wangjia Village.

"There are many people who want to come to Wangjia Village now!"

"We can fund the construction of a school in the village!" Old Chinese doctor Qi and Qin Zhongyi discussed some countermeasures on the way.

Running a school is one of them.

Old Lady Feng nodded: "That's fine. Come with me, I'll take you to talk to the captain."

Many people have been envious of Wangjia Village lately, but the village rarely accepts outsiders. Master Ma is an exception. He's persistent and brings a certain amount of joy to the village. Villagers, both adults and children, love his books, and he's considered a contribution to the village. So everyone turns a blind eye and gradually accepts him.

As for others who want to take advantage of Wangjia Village, they have no chance.

But Dr. Qi was clearly different. He could set up a school for the brigade! What an attractive offer!

Old Chinese doctor Qi quickly reached an agreement with the team leader to build a school with five classrooms and a playground for the brigade in exchange for the qualification to purchase two residential plots.
