Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2253: Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers

While on the back of his horse, Zhao Hai looked around Windrange Town’s street. His head couldn’t fathom what he was seeing for a while. He truly didn’t expect that there would be so many cultivators in a small town. Moreover, these cultivators were quite strong. It even scared him a little.

“Brother, is this your first time in Windrange Town?” As Zhao Hai was in a daze, a voice suddenly came from his side. Zhao Hai’s expression changed as he immediately turned. In the direction of the voice, he saw an Earth Monarch not far away.

The Earth Monarch looked quite young, at around 30 years old. He wore a tattered cultivator’s robe and had a full beard. He looked sloppy.

The sloppy cultivator saw Zhao Hai’s response and smiled, “Brother, there’s no need to be so tense. Fighting isn’t allowed in Windrange Town, otherwise you will be captured by the Forbidden Path Sect. Then you will be turned into a working slave by the sect. Because of this, nobody dared to cause any fights in the town. So, is this your first time in Windrange Town? Are you going to Gale Canyon to temper yourself?”

Hearing this, Zhao Hai nodded his head and said, “It’s my first time here. I didn’t expect to see so many strong cultivators in this place.”

The sloppy cultivator chuckled and said, “You won’t find this scene anywhere else. How about it, ten jade essences and I’ll take you around Windrange Town. No matter what you want to find, I can help you find it.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he looked at the sloppy cultivator in confusion. This man was an Earth Monarch, an entire realm higher than him. How could such a person be short of money that he would act as a guide for ten jade essences?”

Seeing Zhao Hai’s reaction, the sloppy cultivator immediately knew what he was thinking about, he couldn’t help but smile as he said, “This is nothing strange. I just came back from Gale Canyon. But my luck hasn’t been good. I didn’t manage to get anything. I have already used up all my money to buy drinks. Now, I don’t even have a piece of jade essence. Since Windrange Town prohibits fighting, I can’t just take anyone’s money. Therefore, I can only do this kind of job. So, Brother, do you need help?”

Hearing the explanation, Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he waved his hand and threw a spatial bag to the sloppy cultivator. Then he said, “Since we’re both people who like liquor, take these. Consider it as a gift.”

The cultivator received the spatial bag and looked inside using his spiritual force. He discovered 500 jade essences inside. Although 500 jade essences weren’t much, one shouldn’t forget that Windrange Town was mostly rogue cultivators. To rogue cultivators, 500 jade essences was a significant amount. They could achieve quite a lot with this money.

Seeing the jade essences in the spatial bag, the sloppy cultivator couldn’t help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “I didn’t expect Brother to be a rich man. To be able to casually throw hundreds of jade essences like this.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “I’m not rich, just a bit lucky. Moreover, I also love liquor. If a wine lover meets another wine lover in dire straits, it’s natural for me to help. Alright, I’ll take my leave.”

The sloppy cultivator hastily said, “Brother, wait. I mean what I said before. I can accompany you around Windrange Town. Tell me what you need.”

Hearing the sloppy cultivator, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Alright, I want to look for a place to sleep. I want to stay the night and go to Gale Canyon tomorrow.”

The sloppy cultivator nodded and said, “Alright, I know of a hotel. It’s cheap and clean. Follow me.” After saying that, the sloppy cultivator went ahead. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then followed.

Seeing Zhao Hai behind him, the sloppy cultivator slowed down to go beside and then said, “The shops in Windrange Town are very fair. Even the hotels provide good service for their price. However, if you want to live lavishly, you can stay at Demongod Palace that is opened by the Forbidden Path Sect. However, if you want a modest stay and do not want to be disturbed, you can stay in the Windsound Hotel. It’s definitely the cleanest hotel in Windrange Town.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “I still don’t know Brother’s name. I forgot to ask you just now.”

The sloppy cultivator nodded and said, “I’m called Qin Feng. I’ve lived in Windrange Town for five years.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “So it’s Big Brother Qin. My name is Zhao Ling. Thanks for showing me the way.”

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be polite. Just call me Qin Feng. Right, if you have a lot of jade essences, I suggest that you stay in Windrange Town for a few days. Three days later, Windrange Town’s biggest shop will hold an auction. Moreover, it will be the biggest auction of the year. I can assure you that the stuff there will be very good. If you are interested, you can wait and see for yourself.”

Hearing Qin Feng, Zhao Hai raised his brow and said, “There’s such a thing. That’s good. Then I’ll wait a few days to take a look. I want to see what kinds of things this town has.”

To be honest, Zhao Hai didn’t care much about ordinary cultivation resources. Treasures like spiritual herbs, high-level artifacts, pills, or books were nothing special to Zhao Hai.

The level of Zhao Hai’s Ten Thousand Stellar Transformations Art was still a mystery. However, even now, Zhao Hai felt that the cultivation method still has a lot to give him. Therefore, there was no need for Zhao Hai to change into another cultivation method. As for magical artifacts, Zhao Hai has Liquid Silver. As for ores and pills, the Space can just create them using the Processing Machine. Although Zhao Hai has some attraction towards herbs, at this point, he didn’t care much about them. After years of looting in the True Spirit Realm, Zhao Hai already has his hands on all the herbs he could. If there were better herbs in the auction, they would simply be herbs that matured for many many years.

Even then, such ancient herbs aren’t too attractive to Zhao Hai. If he really needs it, he could place an ordinary herb in the Space’s accelerated fields to age them. This way, low-grade herbs could become high-grade in a short time. Zhao Hai just wanted to add more species of herbs to the Space. It doesn’t matter if they were immature or very old. Both were the same in Zhao Hai’s eyes. As long as the Space didn’t have the herb, he would get it.

It has been some time since he participated in an auction, so Zhao Hai became interested in this one. He wanted to see what good things he could get in the auction.

Seeing Zhao Hai’s reaction, Qin Feng smiled. The duo continued to walk until they reached a small street that branched out from the main avenue. The small street didn’t look anything special, so there was almost nobody in it. Despite this, the small street had several small shops in it. Before long, the two stopped in front of a shop.

Zhao Hai looked up at the simple-looking shop. The building wasn’t tall, but it still had three storeys. Above the entrance were the words that spelled out ‘Windsound’. ＲãΝóΒËȿ

Qin Feng looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Let’s head inside.” Zhao Hai also went down on his horse and then tied both horses to the side of the building.

Upon entering, what Zhao Hai saw immediately was a restaurant. Inside were cultivators eating their meals and chatting. Seeing Qin Feng walking in, one of the cultivators laughed and said, “Qin Feng, you’re finally back. Who did you fool today? If you can’t get any money today, Old Wang will drive you out. You’ll have to sleep on the streets.”

It was clear that Qin Feng knew these people. Qin Feng smiled and said, “When did I go out to cheat someone’s money? Also, Uncle Wang is an old friend. How could he drive me away? Look, I even brought business.”

At this time, an old person walked out from the back. The man was already in his late years. He had a small hump on his back. When he heard Qin Feng, he rolled his eyes and said, “Qin Feng, stop talking nonsense. If you don’t give me what you owe today, you can get out. This old man knows that you haven’t been lucky, but all you do is drink! You drink until you have no money left. If you continue, sooner or later, you will die from overdrinking!”

Hearing the old man, Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, “Uncle Want, I have no other hobby. This is my only vice. Right, here’s what I owe you.” Then he took out Zhao Hai’s spatial bag and gave it to Old Wang.

Old Wang took the spatial bag and looked at the things inside. Then his brows furrowed as he glared at Qin Feng, “Qin Feng, who did you rob? You know that if you get caught, you will rot in prison.”

Qin Feng smiled faintly and said, “Old Wang, I’m a good person. How could I rob? This money is given by this brother. I wanted to lead him around for 5 jade essences. But when he heard that I drank all my money, he gave me some. He said that he can relate to me since he also loves wine. Being a wine lover, it’s appropriate to help a fellow wine lover. Right, this is his first time in Windrange Town, and he wants to find a place to stay.”

Old Wang turned his head to Zhao Hai when he heard this. Zhao Hai smiled at Old Wang and then cupped his fist, “I have seen Manager Wang. Do you have any free rooms? I want a quiet room.”

Old Wang’s attitude towards Zhao Hai was completely different compared to his treatment of Qin Feng. As soon as he heard Zhao Hai, Old Wang immediately became polite as he said, “We have, we have quiet rooms. Guest, please come with me. Are those two horses outside yours? Do you need us to look after them?”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “I’ll have to thank Manager Wang for the trouble. I want to stay for a couple of days. This can be regarded as advance payment.” After saying that, Zhao Hai took out a spatial bag and handed it to Old Wang.

Old Wang didn’t look inside the spatial bag to see its contents. Instead, he smiled and said, “It’s no trouble at all. Guest, please follow me. Little San, go and pull those two horses to the back and take care of them.” The assistant at the side nodded and immediately ran outside to take care of Zhao Hai’s wind-chasing horses.

At this time, Qin Feng loudly said, “Uncle Wang, hurry up. I want a table of food and wine. I’ll invite Brother Zhao Ling to drink with me.”

Old Wang rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll prepare it for you. I don’t really know where you got your thick skin. Spending other people’s money as though it’s your own.”

Qin Feng didn’t mind the old man’s words. He just smiled and said, “I’ll return the favor one day. When I have the money.” Old Wang coldly snorted as he directed Zhao Hai to the third floor. Then he found a quiet corner room and gave Zhao Hai the keys.

Zhao Hai looked around the room that was given to him. The room wasn’t very big. Inside was a single bed and a small living room area. Although it wasn’t big, it was very tidy. There were also several plants inside that were placed appropriately. Zhao Hai was very satisfied.

A short while after, knocking could be heard outside. Then a young voice was heard, “Customer, Mister Qin Feng wants to invite you for food and wine. Is the customer willing to head down?”

Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled faintly and said, “Alright, I’ll go now.” After saying that, Zhao Hai stood up and tidied his clothes before opening the door. Outside the door was the shop’s assistant. The assistant looked very young, around 20 years old. However, his cultivation has reached the Soul Fusion Stage. Such a person was willing to become a shop assistant, which surprised Zhao Hai. However, he didn’t ask. After all, he noticed that the Manager of the hotel was a cultivator in the Teleportation Stage. It was normal for a Teleportation Stage cultivator to have a Soul Fusion cultivator as an assistant.

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect Windchange Town to be a den of dragons and tigers. A common shop owner was already a Teleportation Stage Expert. If it were any other place, such an expert could lord over a small town.

After coming down to the first floor, Zhao Hai saw Qin Feng sitting at the table looking at the jar of wine. He kept swallowing his saliva, as if he couldn’t wait to open the jar and drink every drop inside. There were also other dishes on the table. But it was clear that Qin Feng was here for the wine, the dishes weren’t important to him.

Seeing Zhao Hai go down, Qin Feng immediately sobered up. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Ling, come come, quickly sit down. Let me offer you a cup.”
