The manor where Lin Jiang lives is called Lingtao Villa. The area within a radius of thirty miles is the territory of the villa. However, the villa is not big, with only more than a hundred households. The villa not only has a wall, but also has a formation.

Lingtao Villa has a peach forest of 120 acres. These peach trees are not ordinary peach trees, but spiritual plants. The peaches they produce are not only extremely sweet, but also have spiritual energy, which is the so-called spiritual peach.

The spiritual peaches in the villa bear fruit once a year. Half of them are given to the family for their own consumption, and the other half are sold for 70 to 80 spiritual stones. In addition, there are 200 acres of spiritual fields. The spiritual rice produced is also sold to the family. The price is slightly lower than the market price, and there are also about 100 spiritual stones every year. This is all the income of the villa.

Lin Jiang can intercept half of these 200 or so spiritual stones, because this villa is strictly speaking not Lin Jiang's property, but Lin Jiang's mother's dowry.

Lin Jiang's cheap mother was born in a casual cultivator. Lin Jiang's grandfather was a casual cultivator in the foundation building period. Seeing that Lin Batian was very powerful and had great potential, he married his daughter to Lin Batian as a concubine and gave him a generous dowry.

After that, Lin Batian became more and more powerful and continued to annex the surrounding territories. Lin Jiang's cheap mother took out her dowry and bought the Lingtao Villa. She wanted a long-term relationship.

Three years ago, the original owner Lin Jiang angered Lin Batian because his cultivation was stagnant. He was punished by him once. Lin Jiang's cheap mother couldn't stand it anymore and handed the villa to her son to manage. In fact, she was subsidizing her son privately, hoping that her son could fight for her reputation and give her some face. A mother is honored by her son. If her son is powerful, she can also compete for favor in Lin Batian's backyard.

"Hello, Master Lin"

"Hello, Master Lin"

"Master Lin"

came to the spiritual field. The servants working in the field kept greeting Lin Jiang. These servants were sincerely grateful to Lin Jiang and the Lin family.

Because in this world, there is no government, but there are still many landlords, bullies and bandits, and there are also wild beasts and monsters. It is not an exaggeration for ordinary people outside to say that they are in danger from day to day.

In Lingtao Manor, they are protected by walls and formations. Bandits cannot enter, and wild beasts and monsters cannot enter. The rent required by the Lin family is also very low. The Lin family only wants all the output of 120 acres of peach forest and 200 acres of spiritual fields. The rest of the land can be cultivated as they wish. All the harvest belongs to them. There is absolutely no problem in solving the problem of food and clothing.

Lin Jiang looked left and right in the spiritual field and found that the spiritual grains were growing well. This year may be better than last year. He can harvest more spiritual grains and earn more spiritual stones.

On the way of patrol, he met several guards. These guards were not immortal cultivators, but ordinary mortals who had practiced martial arts. He patrolled the manor to guard against wild beasts and ordinary bandits. If they were monsters or immortal cultivators, they would give an alarm, and Lin Jiang would send a sound transmission note to the family for help. At that time, there would naturally be more powerful immortal cultivators to deal with them. After

the patrol, Lin Jiang returned to his home and began to meditate and practice. He set a goal for himself to practice for two hours a day. Anyway, he had no shortage of lifespan. At most, he would practice for a few hundred years in the Qi training period. After

the practice, the meal was ready. The cook was a servant. Although his cooking skills were not as good as the previous slaves, Lin Jiang was not picky. He had eaten fast food lunch boxes worth ten yuan for several years, so this was nothing.

"System name: Lifespan sign-in system

host:

Lin : 17/290"

In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. On this day, Lin Jiang had just signed in to the system when he saw a guard rushing in.

"Master, the family steward is here."

"Got it, take him to the warehouse, I'll be there soon."

Lin Jiang nodded. This year's spiritual grain has been harvested, and the Lin family has sent a steward to purchase it. This is a big event for the manor.

When Lin Jiang arrived at the warehouse, a middle-aged man was already waiting. Seeing Lin Jiang, he smiled and greeted him. He was a guest taken in by Lin Batian and was considered a worker of the Lin family. Although his status was not low, he was still very polite to the young master of the Lin family.

"It's Steward Wu, you've worked hard."

"Sixth Young Master is too polite, shall we start?"

"Okay, let's start."

Lin Jiang nodded and gave an order. A servant carried out the spiritual grain in the warehouse bag by bag and weighed it.

"Sixth Young Master, the weather is not very good this year. The price of spiritual grain in Yunzhou has increased a bit. One spiritual stone can only buy 500 kilograms. How about one spiritual stone for 600 kilograms according to the rules?"

Manager Wu said to Lin Jiang. The private property of the Lin family members sold to the family is cheaper than outside. The advantage is that they buy in bulk and buy as much as they can, without having to sell it themselves.

"No problem,"

Lin Jiang waved his hand and agreed. Although he suffered a little loss in price, he saved a lot of trouble. This is a very normal thing in Lin Jiang's opinion.

Spiritual grain is much heavier than ordinary rice. The upper-quality spiritual field can reach an output of about 600 kilograms per mu. Most of Lin Jiang's 200 mu of spiritual fields are of medium quality. In the end, more than 80,000 kilograms of spiritual grain were weighed out. Lin Jiang kept more than 20,000 kilograms for his own use and sold the rest to the family.

"Sixth Young Master, this is the receipt. You can go to the clan to withdraw money in a few days

." Manager Wu took out several storage bags, packed them in batches, and then gave Lin Jiang a receipt, so that he could go to the family's account office to get the money.

Lin Jiang nodded and sent Manager Wu away. He asked the servants to help grind the rice. The cultivators did not eat grains, but spiritual food, which was good for cultivation. He wanted to send some of the remaining spiritual rice to his cheap mother and sister Lin Ying. Although the clan also distributed rice, it was not enough for a year, and the extra had to be bought by himself. In

a blink of an eye, another two months passed, and it was already the end of the year. Lin Jiang asked the guards to prepare two large carts, carrying 10,000 kilograms of milled spiritual rice to follow him to the Lin family. Lin Jiang's poor family background made it impossible for him to take out a storage bag that could hold 10,000 kilograms of spiritual rice.

The mountain gate of the Lin family was about 800 miles away from the manor, but the horses pulling the carts had the blood of monsters, so strong that one horse could travel 500 miles a day, and it was a piece of cake. It took two days to get there.

"Hey, isn't this my uncle?" Just

as he reached the door, a frivolous voice came. Lin Jiang looked back and saw that it was his nephew Lin Kewen, a son of his eldest brother Lin Shan, who was a few years older than him.

"Kewen, you don't even bow to your uncle when you see him. Believe it or not, I'll sue you later?"

"You, you..."

"What do you mean by me? Doesn't the family follow any rules?"

"You're so cruel. I'm here to meet my uncle."

Lin Kewen finally backed down. As a new family, the Lin family has strict rules. Lin Batian also values ​​filial piety. Although Lin Jiang is the shame of the second generation of the Lin family, he is still Lin Kewen's uncle.

"Nephew, seeing that you are so naughty, this year's New Year's money will be gone."

Lin Jiang laughed and then walked into the Lin family's mountain gate. According to

Lin Batian's rules, as long as they are not busy with some important things, such as seclusion and breaking the mirror, the whole family must gather once at the end of the year, so now inside the Lin family's mountain gate, Lin family members can be seen everywhere.

"Hello, big brother."

"Hello, second brother."

"Hello, third sister."

Lin Jiang saluted all the way. He was the sixth in the second generation of the Lin family. He had to take the initiative to salute the first five, and the younger brothers and sisters behind him had to salute him.

After that, Lin Jiang went to see his cheap father Lin Batian and his legal wife Zheng. He had to give them two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice each. This would not be given for nothing. When the New Year comes, they will return a more generous gift.

After paying homage to his cheap father, he went to see his cheap mother Zhuang Rong. His cheap mother Zhuang Rong was born beautiful and ranked first among Lin Batian's concubines. Lin Jiang and Lin Ying inherited her excellent genes and were also good-looking.

Zhuang Rong has the seventh level of Qi training. In fact, her spiritual roots and talents are not bad, but unfortunately she is a love-brained person. Since marrying Lin Batian, she has not practiced seriously. She is obsessed with palace fighting for favor, so that in more than ten years, her cultivation has not improved at all.

"My son, you have suffered..."

Zhuang Rong saw Lin Jiang and hugged him, tears falling. Although Zhuang Rong's brain was not very good, she was very good to her son and daughter.

Lin Jiang was very resistant to this kind of intimacy, but his cultivation was not as good as his mother's, so he couldn't break free, so he could only ask Lin Ying for help. Lin Ying came over with a smile to persuade him.

Zhuang Rong let go of Lin Jiang, and cried to Lin Jiang with snot and tears, saying that she had suffered some grievances at the mountain gate, and that she was bullied by some concubine. Then she changed the subject and said that the mother was honored by her son, and asked Lin Jiang to improve his cultivation as soon as possible so that she could have a good face and be proud of herself. The words were almost the same every time they met.

Lin Jiang rolled his eyes when he heard this. The original owner might believe it, but Lin Jiang knew from the original owner's memory that his mother was a fierce person. It was good enough that she didn't bully others, so it was not the turn of others to bully her.

"Son, why aren't you talking? Say something."

"Mom, don't be angry when your son talks."

"Tell me, how could your mother be angry with you?"

"Mom, this is what I think. A mother is more noble than one who is noble because of her son. Dad is in the Golden Core stage and can live for five hundred years. The other concubines are in the Qi training stage and can live for a hundred years. When they are seventy or eighty years old, no matter how good their skills are, they will become old and ugly. If I were your mother, I would definitely work hard to improve my cultivation and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. I could even outlast the other concubines. If I could reach the Golden Core stage, then even your aunt who is in the Foundation Establishment stage can't compare to her. Wouldn't I be able to stay with dad for five hundred years?

If both dad and mom can advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the God Transformation stage, or even ascend to heaven together, wouldn't they be able to be together forever and be a happy couple of gods and immortals?"

Lin Jiang couldn't help but come up with an idea. Stupid mother, the essence of palace fighting in the world of immortal cultivation lies in cultivation. No matter how beautiful you are, you can't be eighteen years old every year, but there are girls who are eighteen years old every year. What if you beat this group of concubines? What if your cheap dad takes another concubine?

So it still depends on your cultivation level. It will only be useful if your cultivation level is high. If you are in the Jindan stage, then more than a hundred years later, you can go to Zheng's grave to dance.

When Zhuang Rong heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. It made sense. If she were in the Jindan stage, who would be able to outlast her?
