Chapter 82 Year-end clearance sale, delivery service
Li Chang'an made an appointment for quarantine in advance, and after obtaining the quarantine certificate, he packed more than 200 pigs in a mustard box and arrived at the meat processing plant in Ling'an City.
"Hey, you've raised these pigs quite well," the meat processing plant manager remarked, looking at the pigs being released one after another.
All two hundred-plus pigs were clean and looked to weigh around 300 pounds each. They were quite different from the pigs in other farms, and they were in very good spirits.
Li Chang'an produced a quarantine certificate and said, "They are usually fed very carefully."
"It's not just because the pigs are well-fed, but also because the pigsty is well-maintained, right? I watched your live stream; that talisman you drew instantly made the pigsty spotless—it couldn't be more convenient. By the way, could you sell us some of that talisman?"
Meat processing plants need to maintain a clean environment; having dust-removing talismans would save them a lot of trouble.
Li Chang'an was slightly taken aback, then scratched his head and said, "I don't have any talisman brushes or talisman paper. If you need them, you can ask the Cultivation Alliance."
The person in charge: "Will they?"
"Yes, I saw some rogue cultivators learn it at the cultivation competition before, and the effect was quite good."
The person in charge immediately beamed with joy: "That's wonderful!"
After slaughtering the pigs at the meat processing plant and ensuring the meat passed quality inspection again, Li Chang'an returned to Xuanling Immortal Mountain with a large quantity of high-quality meat. After counting all the meat and vegetables, he started a live broadcast.
"We're clearing out our stock for the year-end," Li Chang'an greeted the viewers in the live stream with a smile.
[They're here! I've called all my relatives and friends to help me grab some vegetables; hopefully, we can get as many as possible.]
[I've already secured the best spot for the home network, get ready!]
"The vegetables we're selling today have been mentioned in previous live streams. You can check out the varieties on the Xianshan Farm app to save time, so I won't go into detail."
"Then there are chickens and ducks, tens of thousands this time, and a bit more shrimp and crabs, as well as five thousand bright bird eggs. Finally, there is pork, more than 60,000 jin. The software has already separated the links according to different parts, so everyone can buy according to their needs."
Some viewers watched his live stream while simultaneously logging into the Xianshan Farm app using another device.
The software's homepage has sections for meat, vegetables, and grains. Clicking into a section leads to various links, and the meat links all include quarantine certificates.
Pork is so cheap! Only ten yuan a pound, and ribs are only fifteen! All kinds of offal are also very cheap!
I'd like to ask, were the intestines and internal organs washed...?
Looking at the comments, Li Chang'an chuckled and said, "The cleansing talisman has been used to wash it, so I guarantee you'll receive it clean. If you're still not sure, you can wash it again yourself."
"Then I'm relieved. I trust you."
I hope I can snag lots of groceries so my family can have a wonderful Chinese New Year!
The streamer "Only Loves Eating Vegetables" is also watching Li Chang'an's live stream.
His original online name was "Only Loves to Eat Meat". He saw that Qingfengpai cabbage had a very good reputation online, and he didn't believe it and wanted to come to Qingfengpai to expose its falsehoods, but he was proven wrong by the perfect quality and taste of the cabbage.
After learning that the cabbage was grown by Li Chang'an, he watched every one of Li Chang'an's live streams. After successfully winning a cabbage, he was overjoyed and even changed his online name to "Only Loves Eating Vegetables".
Looking at the dazzling array of product links, he excitedly typed in the live stream chat: 【Great! Li Chang'an, your pigs must be of excellent quality! Looks like I can change my username back to what it was before!】
Some audience members recognized him and immediately started teasing him.
Li Chang'an watched the lively comments on the screen and occasionally picked out a few to reply to.
He glanced at the time and reminded everyone, "Alright, it's still going up to the top of the hour, don't forget."
"In addition, please fill in your delivery address as detailed as possible to make it easier for the new courier to deliver your packages."
I won't forget, I can't wait!
As soon as the hour struck, the inventory of each link was instantly cleared, and "sold out" icons were displayed on the main product images.
This time there were over 700,000 orders.
Looking at the data in the backend, Li Chang'an wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
With over 700,000 orders, Lingyuan Bird takes at least four or five days to deliver, and that's after they've been squeezed dry.
"Fortunately, we have the spirit boat," Li Chang'an said.
Although the delivery team only has sixty-four cultivators, with the speed of the spirit boat and his improved positioning and delivery talisman, the delivery will be very fast.
However, one spirit boat is clearly not enough.
As he grows more vegetables and expands his business overseas, he will need an even larger delivery team.
Once the purple jade bamboo has grown a bit more, he will ask Yao Guang Xingjun to make him a few more spirit boats.

After printing out more than 700,000 express delivery slips, Li Chang'an and Tian Xuan sorted them into categories.
Ling'an City is located in the central-eastern part of Xia Kingdom. The two drew a line with Ling'an City as a reference, and the addresses to the north were handed over to the courier team, while those to the south were handed over to the spirit kites.
Packing these 700,000+ parcels was a huge undertaking.
On the afternoon of the day the live stream ended, Li Chang'an and his team worked until the evening to finish packing the mushrooms.
The next morning, the mushroom spirits were responsible for distributing packages to the spirit kites.
Li Chang'an and Cha Jing then brought the Lingjie Box to Qingfeng Sect.
The sixty-four cultivators have been assembled.
Li Chang'an took out a spirit boat from his storage bag and hung a flag with the logo of the Immortal Mountain Farm on it. The Qingfeng Sect disciples all looked up and exclaimed "Wow!" again and again.
"This spirit boat is even newer and more beautiful than those of the three upper sects."
"The spirit ships of the three upper sects were all built hundreds of years ago, so of course they can't compare to this one."
The cultivators boarded the spirit boat, and Li Chang'an led the five chosen team leaders to the lower core control area, teaching them how to inject spiritual power and control the spirit boat to fly.
Li Chang'an sent a cultivator over to try: "The spiritual power required to pilot the spirit boat is not much, but you need to concentrate your mind."
The cultivator nodded and channeled his spiritual energy into the purple disc. The next moment, he felt the spirit boat slowly rising.
This feeling was similar to when he usually flew using his qi; he seemed to be able to sense the altitude of the spirit boat and the speed of its ascent.
The purple disc displayed a map of several nearby cities, and the cultivator who had infused it with spiritual power could even accurately sense how far away the next city was.
After confirming that all five team leaders had learned the techniques, Li Chang'an gave them some more instructions before returning to Xuanling Immortal Mountain.
The tea essence was left behind and was being used in the lobby on the first floor to teach fifty-nine cultivators the details to pay attention to when delivering packages.
Many more tables and chairs have been added to the hall, allowing the monks to rest.
Above a narrow, tall table in the very center is the Spirit Mustard Box. When infused with spiritual power, the contents of the Spirit Mustard Box will appear as miniature projections in mid-air.
The cultivators could see that there were many express delivery boxes inside the spirit mustard seed, divided into about a hundred piles.
On the right wall of the hall, there is a map of the city distribution of Xia Kingdom. On the right side, a large white sheet of paper marks the location of each city's express delivery in the Spirit Mustard Box in coordinate form.
The tea spirit said, "Our next destination is Qinwang City. Once we arrive in the city, we can take out those stacks of parcel boxes and infuse them with spiritual energy, and the parcels will be automatically delivered there."
He was sitting in the northeast corner of the hall, where a bar-like corner was set up with various cups for the monks to drink water and make tea.
The water is potable and stored in a water tank on the bottom floor of the spirit boat. The pumping parts made by Yao Guang are connected to the bar on the first floor, and cultivators can get water by turning on the tap.
The cultivators nodded, staring intently at the spirit box with nervousness and focus, afraid of making a mistake later, and didn't even have time to visit the spirit boat.
The tea essence watched them with great interest.
Soon, one of the team leaders went up to the first-floor lobby and said to the fifty-nine cultivators, "We have arrived at Qinwang City. The spirit boat will slow down a bit, so please hurry."
The cultivators quickly responded and took out the delivery box from the spirit box.
One by one, the delivery boxes appeared, and after being infused with spiritual power, they disappeared.
A cultivator accidentally picked up the wrong package, but the package did not respond after he injected spiritual energy into it.
The monk was somewhat nervous, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing this, Tea Essence glanced at the delivery slip and explained reassuringly, "It hasn't arrived in Wanghai City yet. It's beyond the distance limit and can't be delivered. Don't worry, everyone, it won't be delivered to the wrong address."
Upon hearing this, the cultivator finally felt relieved.
As long as nothing goes wrong, it's fine; at most, it will just waste a little more spiritual energy.
A bunch of packages in Qinwang City were delivered in about ten minutes.
Two of the team leaders also recorded the number of orders delivered by the monks on the list.
The spirit boat sped up, and some cultivators began to meditate and recover.
Although the location-delivery talisman is a low-level talisman, Li Chang'an's cultivation level is higher than theirs, and he also considered the need to teleport to a distance of tens of kilometers when drawing the talisman, so it required these cultivators to inject a lot of spiritual power.
I need to meditate and recover quickly.
The tea spirit was also busy, using its spiritual power to boil water and brew several pots of tea for the cultivators to drink.
After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, the cultivator stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the cup.
"This tea has spiritual energy; it replenishes spiritual power much faster than meditation..." the cultivator murmured.
The tea essence hummed proudly twice and said, "Of course."
This tea is made from tea leaves picked from tea trees of near-divine quality.
The other cultivators then understood the purpose of the bar and tea, and they all stepped forward to pour themselves some tea.
"There's spirit tea when I deliver packages, and I can exchange it for spirit-grade vegetables after I finish delivering them. This is such a wonderful life!" a cultivator smacked his lips and exclaimed.
"Given time, we might be able to break through to the Golden Core stage just like Elder Wu, right?"
The cultivators all laughed heartily, and the tense atmosphere in the hall, which had been due to it being their first time delivering packages, immediately relaxed.
Some people even started going up to the deck or the second and third floors to visit.
The next city arrived quickly, and the cultivators, full of energy, gathered around the spirit box to continue delivering packages.

Around 8 a.m., in Qinwang City, a man had just gotten up and stepped out of his bedroom when he suddenly noticed a faint golden light in the living room. He went over to take a look and saw a large and a small delivery box in the entryway.
"Holy crap!" the man exclaimed in surprise. "What is this thing?!"
Is there some kind of danger?
The man stood nervously by the wall, slowly moving closer to the two delivery boxes. When he turned his gaze, he saw the logo of Xianshan Farm on the boxes.
The man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even found it somewhat amusing.
Once he was sure there was no danger, he stepped forward and opened the larger delivery box.
The vegetables he bought were neatly stacked at the bottom of the delivery box, while the pork and ribs were placed on top in plastic bags.
In addition, there was a basketball-sized plastic water balloon filled with fresh shrimp. The plastic film was very thin, but it was actually wrapped in spiritual energy, making it very sturdy and unlikely to break easily.
A hole was cut in another small delivery box next to it, and a chicken's head popped out, looking very energetic.
After inspecting the food, the man found that the vegetables, meat, live shrimp, and live chicken were all in good condition and nodded in satisfaction.
A moment later, he suddenly realized something was wrong and his eyes widened: "Wait! Wasn't it supposed to be a spirit bird delivering goods? Where's the spirit bird I've been waiting for so long!?"
This was his first time successfully ordering vegetables from Xianshan Farm, but unexpectedly, he also ran into a new courier making his first delivery.
The braided rope I had prepared in my pajama pocket to give to the spirit bird is now useless.
The man wailed silently.
