Chapter 199: Chapter 194: Ranking in Jade Stream Towni

Translator: 549690339 |

Humans who lived past four hundred years, were definitely beings like the old ancestor of the Fang Family. Even more so, Qin Niu suspected that the old ancestor of the Fang Family might not have lived for four hundred years.

As for those who lived over a thousand years, they were absolutely beings on the level of terrestrial immortals.

Their strength must be terrifyingly powerful.

Qin Niu’s lifespan had reached close to one hundred thirty years, which was already quite remarkable.

He had more opportunities than other cultivators in the Acquired Realm.

Choosing to cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique back then must have been the most correct decision he made.

Longevity and immortality, that is the real competitive edge.

As long as one has enough lifespan, even with poor talent, time can be used to slowly accumulate strength. Ultimately breaking through again and again.

Qin Niu looked up at the Ancient Banyan Tree and noticed its branches beginning to droop.

It meant that it was already late in the day.

He promptly collected the Banyan Tree Blood and hastened out of the maze.

In the past, after coming out, he would always check on the beehive in the pine tree. Now that he had moved them to his home, he really wasn’t used to it.

Back at home, everything was safe and sound.

Xu Zhenchang seemed to time his visit perfectly, coming to see him.

Inviting him into the house, Qin Niu’s home was already furnished with mahogany tables and chairs, high-end screens, calligraphy and painting hung on the walls, and flowers and plants were being grown inside. Even the tea set for entertaining guests was replaced with a new one.

Slowly, he had begun to live the quality of life a wealthy person should have.

Xu Zhenchang envied him in his heart.

This man was on his way to wealth, and it would take just about a year or two.

Who could have imagined that just over half a year ago, Alt Niu was a young man who struggled to make ends meet. Now he was the most prestigious person in Shuangfeng Village, living in the most imposing house, an official residence with three rooms and seven rafters.

He already used high-end furniture and teacups.

Qin Niu had undergone a transformation and accumulation that many people would not achieve in their lifetimes, in a very short span of time.

“Master Qin, today Xie Laizi has been buried. I have already reported to the official registry to cancel his household registration. Ah, one never knows what tomorrow may bring. Xie Laizi, he was rather despicable and had done some immoral things, being sent off by a venomous snake in his last moments is retribution. In the end, it was still the villagers who helped and buried him.”

Xu Zhenchang sighed.

He also meant to ask Qin Niu for money.

After all, Qin Niu promised yesterday to give fifty Wen Money to every villager who helped bury Xie Laizi.

Xu Zhenchang’s crop this year was hit by both floods and pests, and he might even end up losing money. It was likely that he was short on cash, struggling to get by.

Had he followed the trend and bought a thousand or two ducks last time, he could have made a profit.

Unfortunately, he was too cautious, and with limited funds on hand, he missed the opportunity.

“Xie Laizi did not accumulate virtue, and this disaster is fate. How much labor was used to bury him?”

“Sixteen people worked together to bury him, and both Wang Haikun’s wife and Liu Shengli’s wife helped with cooking. In total, eighteen people put in effort.”

“How much did it cost for the coffin and the villagers’ food?”

“Two Taels and one Wen of Silver.”

This money was basically spent right along the line.

The silver money found on Xie Laizi’s body was just over two taels with several copper coins.

“Each of the eighteen people fifty Wen, and you as the leader who put in more effort, get one hundred Wen.”

Qin Niu took out One Tael of Silver and gave it to Xu Zhenchang directly.

“You must ensure this money reaches the hands of those who helped, you can’t skim off their share.”

This statement from Qin Niu served as both a warning and a reminder.

Xu Zhenchang was currently short on cash, and it’s tough to guarantee he wouldn’t get ideas about the two Taels of Silver.

The greed of a man can be boundless.
