Chapter 417 Buying a Manor
Chapter 417 Buying a Manor
The next morning, when the red sun was rising, Tian Lin had already left the Wendao Sect with Yu'er on a boat.
The purpose of his trip was to gain experience and practice in the secular world. If there was nothing urgent, he would not plan to return to the sect within a year or so.
Because he was not on a mission, he was not in a hurry to travel on the flying boat. Instead, he sailed for a while and then walked for a while.
After stopping and starting like this, it was already half a month later when the two arrived in Kitano County.
"Everyone says that the Su family has fallen into decline, but I think the Su family's influence in Beiye County is not weak!"
Yu'er hadn't been out for some years since she joined the Dao Sect. Once she entered Beiye County, she became a lot more lively.
She is not a talkative person, but although she is young, she still has the heart of a teenager.
As she walked and looked around along the way, she bought a lot of things without realizing it and also heard about many interesting things about Kitano County.
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Su family no longer has a Nascent Soul expert, as long as Wang Yanyu maintains her relationship with the Wending Sect, they will not fall immediately!"
"We are now in the Su family's territory in Beiye County. Should we go and say hello to Miss Wang?"
After Yu'er asked the question, Tian Lin shook his head:
"If you're just passing by, that's fine, but since I plan to stay here for a long time, it's better not to come. Otherwise, I'll have to go back and forth for social events. It'll be too frequent and I'll have a hard time to relax."
Tian Lin is now a true disciple, and his status outside is somewhat different from before.
Although the status of a true disciple is related to the power held by his master in the sect, the fact that Elder Yu is no longer in power in the sect does not affect the status of Tian Lin's true disciple.
It can be said that he represents the Wendao Sect when he is outside.
All the local noble families, except those with Yuanying elders in the clan, had to curry favor with Tian Lin.
If he could abuse his power and take advantage of his status to bully his neighbors, Tian Lin would definitely choose to enter the Su family openly.
Unfortunately, he was not a domineering person, nor was he a face-conscious person. So he did not want to show up in a big way, so as not to bother others or attract some people who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful to bother him.
"Let's buy a farm nearby and settle down first."
"To buy a farm, you need to buy spiritual fields, and the best spiritual fields are almost all in the hands of the Su family. If Miss Wang comes forward, it will definitely be much cheaper to buy spiritual fields."
Yu'er's idea is good, but it still doesn't match Tian Lin's idea.
Tian Lin shook his head and said, "There's no need to save money on a few acres of land. If things are too complicated, we can just hire a few agents to do it for us."
After the matter was settled, the two men directly bought a carriage and hired a driver. They then found a broker and spent an afternoon finalizing the farm outside the city.
There are a limited number of spiritual fields in Beiye County, and even if Tian Lin is willing to spend money, he cannot buy too many spiritual fields.
However, three acres of high-quality spiritual fields, two acres of medium-quality spiritual fields and one acre of low-quality spiritual fields were enough for Tianlin's use.
Yu'er asked a human trafficker to buy a dozen maids, and then hired two spiritual plant husbands who were in the late foundation building stage.
A dozen maids followed Yu'er to the farm at night to do cleaning.
The two spiritual plant husbands in the late foundation building stage lived in the city and did not go to the village.
That night, Tian Lin asked several servants to change the farm's signboard from the previous "Lu's House" to the current "Tian's House".
In fact, as soon as Tian Lin entered Beiye County, the Su family had already received the news of Tian Lin's arrival.
Wang Yanyu was at home at this time, and outside the curtain was the human broker who had helped Tian Lin that afternoon.
The man handed over Tian Lin's portrait. When Wang Yanyu took over the portrait from the maid, her mother-in-law said, "Is it really him? You said that his Bao Jian became a true disciple, which shows that he has a good status in the sect. Now we are working for the Wendao Sect and are about to contact more people from the Wendao Sect. Since he has come to our Beiye County, why doesn't he come to our house?"
Her mother-in-law asked a lot of questions one after another, and her words seemed a little incoherent. Fortunately, Wang Yanyu understood her mother-in-law's questions.
"There must be a reason why he didn't come."
Her mother-in-law added, "He doesn't want to come over on his own initiative, so he must want us to take the initiative to greet him, so that we can save face?"
Wang Yanyu shook her head again, stroking the civet cat in her hand while answering:
"Tian Lin is not someone who likes to please others. He did not disguise himself, which means that he did not come to Beiye County to deal with our Su family; and he did not visit us when he arrived at the county town because he did not want to be disturbed.
So we knew he was coming, but we just pretended not to know. It was a good deal for both parties, and we didn’t bother each other.”
Wang Yanyu is the one who makes the decisions in the Su family now. Once she makes a decision, even her mother-in-law cannot change it.
"Zhuang'er, go out and tell the people down there. There is a 'farm' outside the southern suburbs, where my Su family's distinguished guests are staying. The bad guys in the county are not allowed to go around and cause trouble. If anyone upsets my guest, don't say that the Su family doesn't give him face!"
As soon as she said this, the maid named Zhuang'er left the house.
-
Although the manor bought by Tian Lin was not big, fortunately it was very quiet.
Looking at the few acres of land in front of the village gate, the ground was already overgrown with weeds.
Tian Lin walked up the ridge of the field, waving his hand to clear the weeds in the field.
"Master, do you really not need to hire people to work in the fields? I heard that the ground in the spiritual fields is very solid and cannot be broken even with a pickaxe—"
"We don't rely on this piece of land to make a living, so why hire people? If we hire people to work, we might as well just buy spiritual rice to cook."
After saying this, Tian Lin asked Yu'er: "Have you ever planted a spiritual field?"
Yu'er shook her head: "When I was at the Tong family, I didn't experience these kinds of work. But I've heard that in addition to turning the soil, sowing seeds, and repelling insects, cultivating spiritual fields also requires fighting the weather. Because not every spiritual medicine is in season -
For example, our spiritual field has been sealed for a long time. Now we need to reuse it, but we have to give up spiritual stones to open up the wasteland. This will be more tiring and more expensive. "
Precisely because it is more tiring and more expensive, no one bought it in a short period of time.
"Mr. Zhang and Mr. Su, whom we hired, have promised to bring spiritual manure and stone powder from the city tomorrow. A few acres of land is not a lot. I should be able to handle it with my Jindan cultivation."
The so-called Mr. Zhang and Mr. Su were exactly the spirit plant husbands they hired. The former was a Huahualang, while the latter was a collateral branch of the Su family, who made a living as a spirit plant husband.
Tian Lin did not hire these two spiritual herb farmers to take care of the herbs and spiritual rice, but only to assist him and point out his mistakes.
The next morning, as expected, two spiritual plant husbands rode their horses from the county town to the northern suburbs.
Behind the two men, there were two large incense carts and two large stone powders.
Mr. Zhang was the first to dismount, frowned at Tian Lin and said, "Senior Tian, do you really want to go down to the field yourself?"
At this time, Tian Lin had changed into a farmer's outfit, with his trouser legs rolled up and his shirt bare, no longer the image of the elegant young man he had yesterday.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have any advice?"
Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, "Senior Tian has reached the level of a Golden Core. How can it be the turn of a Foundation Establishment junior like me to teach him? But just because you have reached the level of a Golden Core, why do you still need to plant spiritual rice and spiritual herbs in person?"
He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He waved to the driver behind him and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you get back to work?"
