When all fields were taken back, Xiao Jingting became a small landlord in the village.

After the crops in several medium-grade fields matured one after another, they left enough for them to eat and sold other spiritual plants for more than 300 silver. With this silver, Xiao Jingting no longer needed to do everything by himself. For example, he found a few families in the village who didn’t have much land, but had abundant labor force and found people who wanted to work.

For spiritual plants in a few lower- grade fields Xiao Jingting hired two second level Qi Practitioner from the village to take care of them, and only went to see them once every ten days or a half of month.

The wages given by Xiao Jingting were not low and he also guaranteed a good meal. So the people who take care of land of Xiao family ware very grateful to Xiao Jingting.

The prodigal son changed his was, and Xiao Jingting transformation suddenly made him an inspirational model in the village.
The improvement of his reputation has also brought Xiao Jingting a moderate amount of troubles. For example, aunts who used to lock their children in the house when they saw him would now pester him and ask him if he was still looking for someone to work for him. The young boys and girls who used to look at his scornfully in past, now called him brother Xiao sweetly. In the past Qiu Bai was indifferent to him but now he always appeared around him.

“Green cloud grass?” When Xiao Jingting returned from the field, he was grabbed by Xu Mian to talk about what he had seen in the back of the mountain.
Xiao Jingting searched in his memory for this spiritual plant and there was really no impression of this kind of spiritual plant in his mind. Many plants in this world were different from his original world and the original body owner was ignorant and incompetent. Xiao Jingting was dragged down by the original body owner, and he knew nothing about these things.
Seeing Xiao Jingting bewildered appearance, Xu Muan patiently explained: “Green cloud grass is a spirit plant that can help third and forth level Qi practitioner and demonic beast advance. Green cloud grass has no effect at all until it matures, and when it is nearing maturity, it will emit a strong fragrance. This fragrance will attract all the third-grade and fourth-grade demon beasts around it, only when Green cloud grass is fully mature, the fragrance will disappear.”
“When I went over there today, there was already a third-grade demon python guarding the area, I did not dare to startle it so I retreated. The green cloud grass should still need six or seven days to mature, The green cloud grass is not far away from our field, if it triggers a demon beast battle it will easily affect our field.” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting turned his eyes around and said, “You said that the Green cloud grass can also improve the strength of practitioners and help them break through.”
Xu Muan nodded and said: “Yes, when Green cloud grass matures, crystal clear grass seeds will fall. Taking this seed can help break through the bottleneck.”
“Can we lure that demonic python away and transplant the green cloud grass out of the jungle?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Although he had hired a number of people to help him, Xu Muan was considerate enough to do the logistical work and reduce the burden on him. However, Xiao Jingting was still busy all day long, his ability to plant medium-grade fields was limited, no to mention planting high-grade fields.

There were a few third level Spiritual Plant Master in the village, however they were not cheap. Moreover, they all had their own spirit fields to look after, so it wasn’t cost-effective to invite them over.
Seeing that there was an opportunity to improve their streght right now, Xiao Jingting was reluctant to give it up.

Xu Muan hesitated and said, “Generally speaking, it is hard for Green cloud grass to survive after transplanting.”
“Then we better lure python away and destroy Green cloud grass, it wouldn’t be good if there was an additional advanced monster in the jungle” Xiao Jingting said.

Xiao Jingting said so, but what he thought was: Xu Muan said that Green Cloud Grass would have problem to survive after transplanting, which doesn’t mean it can’t be done! He could try transplanting Green Cloud Grass to his spiritual spring, Spirit Spring was good! After repeated studies, Xiao Jingting found that the crops he planted could grow well as long as they were irrigated by a spiritual spring.
Xu Muan nodded, pondering over it, and finally saying with some regret: “All right.”
As a matter of fact, Xu Muan was very attracted to Green cloud grass. Recently, the food Xy Muan eat all had strong spiritual energy, not only Xu Muan meridians heals, but also vaguely showed signs of a breakthrough. However, when Green cloud grass matures it would attract at least five or six third-level or even higher level demonic beast. Xu Muan weighed up the situation and felt that it was too risky to seek to size the green cloud grass after it matures.
“Muan, you know a lot!” Xiao Jingting thought it was a little strange. Xu Muan was from a farming family and after marrying Xiao Jingting he has been living in seclusion. Xiao Jingting didn’t expect Xu Muan to be so knowledgeable and versatile.
Xu Muan hesitated for a moment before confessing: “You have the complete collection of spiritual plants in your room, I’ve occasionally flipped through it.”
There was a library in Xiao Jingting room, with many book inside. Most of them were filled with erotic pictures and songs. However, there were still some normal books, complete collection of spiritual plants was one of them.

Although Xu Muan was Xiao Jingting wife in name, Xiao Jingting didn’t take Xu Muan seriously. In order to survive, Xu Muan always tried to improve himself. In fact, Xu Muan was not allowed to enter Xu Jingting study so Xu Muan would always calculate the time and sneak in when no one was around.
Hearing Xu Muan mention the library, Xiao Jingting suddenly remembered those adult books and immediately blushed. The original owner was really too ignorant to be progressive, and didn’t know how to use them.
