Chapter 11 The Spirit Stones just earned are gone again

A few days later.
All the Spirit Rice in the System Space had matured; Lin Jing harvested it all.
Yet the system remained as miserly as ever, still giving just one Harvest Point per acre of land.
After harvesting, Lin Jing sun-dried and threshed the Spirit Rice before sending it all to Yu Ming Trading House.
Shopkeeper Cheng happily accepted everything and even negotiated with Lin Jing to reserve next year’s Spirit Rice.
Since he had a buyer, he agreed readily, and after finalizing their agreement, Lin Jing left Yu Ming Trading House with the 160 Lower Grade Spirit Stones he had earned from selling the Spirit Rice.
……
In the following two months, Lin Jing spent most of his time at home, studying Alchemy and the Controlling Fire Technique, and would only go out once every few days.
Sometimes when he went out, he would run into the brothers Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin. Zhang Sen was quite talkative, and every time they met, he would strike up a conversation with Lin Jing.
Lin Jing wasn’t too comfortable with this and typically responded with a few words before taking his leave.
Among Lin Jing’s two neighbors, he had met one of the households twice—a young woman who seemed about his age.
However, she was not alone but accompanied by a five or six-year-old girl, who was very cute.
Zhang Sen mentioned that the young woman used to live with her husband, but he had unfortunately suffered an accident while hunting Demonic Beasts.
This left only the mother and daughter behind.
As for the other neighbor, Lin Jing had not yet seen them.
Today, Lin Jing was preparing to go out again.
After studying Alchemy for two months, Lin Jing felt he had understood the basics and was ready to start practicing alchemy.
Alchemy required the purchase of a Pill Furnace, formulas, and materials, which would cost a significant amount of Spirit Stones,
Including in the future, Lin Jing also planned to grow Spirit Grass in the System Space, to cultivate, harvest, and then refine it into Elixir Medicine for sale.
Wouldn’t this entire vertical integration earn more than selling Spirit Rice?
“Tsk tsk… Perfect!”
Since he planned to collaborate long-term, it was natural to select a reputable trading house.
And now, he was preparing to visit the most famous one in the Fang Market.
“Yuebaolou.”
Yuebaolou had a mysterious background and had branches in many places.
What always made it commendable was its good reputation and fair pricing, never using its large size to bully customers and always keeping client privacy secure.
As long as you were willing to sell something, they never asked where it came from and would accept it accordingly.
Of course, whatever you bought from Yuebaolou, you needn’t worry because they absolutely forbade revealing any customer information.
Upon arriving at Yuebaolou, Lin Jing looked up.
The seven-story pagoda was unique in the entire Nanshan Market.
The area it covered was indeed substantial, and there was also a not-so-small square in front of the building, where Cultivators set up their stalls all over the square, creating a lively scene.
It was said that to set up a stall here, one simply needed to pay Spirit Stones to Yuebaolou.
Lin Jing did not stop there and walked directly through the square to Yuebaolou.
Yuebaolou was vast, with Magic Artifacts, Elixir Medicines, and Cultivation Techniques available in abundance.
As soon as Lin Jing entered, a maid approached to attend to him.
“Welcome to Yuebaolou, Immortal,” she said. “May I ask what you need?”
“Immortal?”
Lin Jing was quite unfamiliar with this title and looked at her.
“So it turns out to be a mortal; no wonder.”
“I need to buy a Pill Furnace, and then some Alchemy Ingredients.”
“So the Immortal is an Alchemist; please follow me.”
Envy filled the maid’s eyes.
