Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16572

Chapter 16570. The Summoning

“I just received a message. The magic array told us to collect all three types of seeds we have now. Tonight, we’ll go out of the city to retrieve a new batch of seeds. These seeds cannot be propagated, meaning they won’t produce any more seeds. This way, we won’t get any new seeds from others, and this business will be our exclusive right,” Lingfeng said to Songlin.

Songlin frowned upon hearing Lingfeng’s words, then said in a deep voice, “What about the seeds we sold before? Those seeds can be propagated.”

Lingfeng smiled and said, “It’s not that easy. You’ve planted the Underground Palace Flower before; you should know that propagating it without guidance is almost impossible. The magic array is doing this just to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, cutting off the possibility of propagation at its root.”

Songlin nodded in agreement, then said, “Indeed, without guidance, propagating the Underground Palace Flower is indeed…” “It’s extremely difficult, not to mention all those underground palace flowers we sold before, which all ended up as spatial equipment, making it even more impossible. Should we close earlier today?”

Ling Feng nodded and said, “Indeed, we need to close earlier.” Just then, the shop door opened, and a bald man walked in from outside. Upon seeing the bald man, Ling Feng immediately went up to him with a smile and said, “Is there anything you need, fellow Daoist?” The bald man meant that the person was from Buddha City, and Ling Feng naturally had to be very polite to such a person.

The bald man glanced at Lingfeng and then asked, “Are you the shop owner here?”

Lingfeng nodded and replied, “Yes, what do you need, fellow Daoist?”

The bald man looked at Lingfeng again and said, “Come with me. Our elder wishes to see you.”

Lingfeng’s heart sank, but he immediately replied, “Alright, please wait a moment, I’ll make the arrangements.” He then turned to look at Songlin, who immediately understood Lingfeng’s meaning and nodded. Lingfeng then said, “You watch the shop carefully, I’ll be right back.” Songlin responded, and then Lingfeng turned to the bald man and said, “Fellow Daoist, let’s go.” The bald man nodded and then led Lingfeng outside. Just before Lingfeng stepped out the door, a ring fell from his hand, but it didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, Songlin, who was following behind, caught it. Songlin discreetly put the ring away, saw Lingfeng out the door, and then carefully returned to the shop.

Upon returning to the shop, Song Lin went straight to the small rest room at the back. There, he flicked his wrist, tossing a magic circle onto the ground. He then activated it, instantly expanding the small rest room into a space of over a hundred square meters. Next,

Song Lin took out the spatial ring that Ling Feng had thrown out earlier, opened it, and released the Azure Leaf Boat. The Azure Leaf Boat wasn’t very large, but it was sufficient for this inner space. After doing all this, Song Lin went to the front and sat behind the counter, his expression calm and unreadable.

He understood the meaning behind Lingfeng’s winks. Lingfeng was telling him to prepare for the worst, which was essentially retreating back to the Black Sea. That’s why Lingfeng left the Azure Leaf Boat with Songlin. The Azure Leaf Boat had a teleportation array, allowing Songlin to leave Buddha City directly if necessary. Of course, this was the worst-case scenario; if it came to that, it meant Lingfeng had been captured by the people of Buddha City, and Songlin would have to leave immediately.

Meanwhile, Lingfeng was already following the bald man into the city. There were previously some restricted areas within the city, places where outsiders were not allowed. They were now heading into one of these restricted areas. Soon, they arrived at a large courtyard, and the bald man led Lingfeng inside.

The courtyard had many rooms, and several bald men were going in and out of some of them, seemingly working. The bald man didn’t stop, leading Lingfeng towards the backyard. Soon they arrived at a secluded courtyard. Upon entering, another bald man immediately approached. He glanced at Lingfeng and asked, “Is this him?”

The bald man who had led Lingfeng nodded, saying, “Yes, this is him. Fellow Daoist, please follow him.” Lingfeng nodded and followed the bald man to a room in the courtyard. The bald man said to Lingfeng, “Please wait here.” Lingfeng responded, and the man knocked on the door before entering the room.

After a short while, the bald man came out, bowed to Lingfeng, and said, “The elder invites you in.” Lingfeng responded again and went inside. He wasn’t particularly alarmed; the bald man’s politeness meant the man wasn’t hostile towards him, which reassured him.

Ling Feng entered the room and saw a small study, only about fifty square meters in size. There were three bookshelves, one on each side and one on the inner wall. In front of the inner wall stood a desk, behind which was a grand chair. In front of the desk were two official’s hat chairs. Aside from that, the room was sparsely decorated.

Behind the desk sat a man who appeared to be in his forties, bald, but with a large beard. He was very fat, looking like a mountain of flesh.

The bearded man sat there, smiling at Ling Feng. The moment Ling Feng saw the bearded man, his heart skipped a beat. He could tell that this bearded man was also a deity, and his strength was definitely no less than Ling Feng’s, perhaps even greater.

A deity, yet bald—that meant he was a subordinate of Golden Light Buddha. The fact that Golden Light Buddha had deities among his subordinates was enough to prove Golden Light Buddha’s power. However, upon further reflection, Lingfeng understood. The Golden Buddha’s strength was undeniable; he was likely already a Primordial God-level deity, so it was normal for him to have several other deities under his command.

The bearded man smiled at Lingfeng and said, “Fellow Daoist Lingfeng, please sit.” Lingfeng clasped his hands in thanks to the bearded man and said, “Thank you, Elder.” He then walked to the desk, sat down in the official’s chair, and calmly looked at the bearded man.

The bearded man did not get up. He looked at Lingfeng and said, “The reason I invited Fellow Daoist Lingfeng here this time is that there is something I would like to discuss with you.”

Lingfeng quickly replied, “Please speak, Elder. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best.”

The bearded elder smiled slightly and said, “Fellow Daoist Lingfeng, you are too kind. We only recently learned that you have opened a shop in our city. To be honest, we are quite interested in the things you sell. We wonder where those things come from?”

Lingfeng immediately replied, “Those things are all from our alliance…” “These seeds were refined by an elder. After ascending from the lower realm, he brought some plant seeds with him. After years of research, he finally refined these seeds. However, because that elder offended someone, he dared not leave the Black Sea, so he sent us to open this shop in your area. We are here to thank you all for your patronage.”

The bearded elder nodded after hearing Ling Feng’s words. Ling Feng’s words revealed enough information: they were an alliance, and an elder in this alliance had refined these plant seeds, yet this person could only stay in the Black Sea.

The bearded man looked at Lingfeng and said, “I see. We greatly admire someone with such abilities. How about inviting him to Buddha City? We can guarantee his safety. I believe no one in the God Realm would dare cause trouble in Buddha City.”

Lingfeng quickly replied, “Of course we believe that. However, our ally has lived in the Black Sea for many years and is used to it. He doesn’t want to come out anymore, so he won’t be coming to Buddha City.”

A glint flashed in the bearded man’s eyes. Lingfeng’s refusal surprised him somewhat. He then said, “Alright, but recently some shopkeepers have complained to us, saying that your goods are sold too cheaply, so we can’t ignore it.”

Lingfeng knew what he was referring to immediately. He asked, “I wonder what the elder is referring to?” Although he knew what the elder was talking about, he couldn’t say it aloud, so he asked this question.

Hearing Ling Feng’s words, the bearded man still smiled and said, “I heard you’re selling some kind of spatial equipment? And it’s only the price of a dozen cubic meters of soil? Isn’t that too low?”

Ling Feng replied, “Our spatial equipment is crafted by ourselves. We only charge a crafting fee. They buy the combat plants from us first, then do some simple processing themselves, and finally we craft it. We only charge a crafting fee; they provide the materials themselves. Just the crafting fee alone is already quite high.”

The bearded man nodded and said, “While you’re right, your spatial equipment…” “The price is indeed very low, and this will disrupt the entire market. You can’t do this.”

Ling Feng said, “Then what is the Elder’s opinion?”

The bearded man looked at Ling Feng and said, “There are two ways. First, stop selling spatial equipment altogether. Second, hand over your spatial equipment so we can manage it and adjust the price to the same level as everyone else. What do you think?”

Ling Feng frowned upon hearing the bearded man’s words. The bearded man hadn’t given him the option to continue selling spatial equipment. It was either stop the spatial equipment business or hand it over. It seemed they had no choice but to hand it over.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng said, “Elder, we are now relying on this shop to store up materials we can use to build our divine kingdom. The best product in this shop is actually this spatial equipment. If we hand it over, we won’t be able to survive. Please, Elder, show us a way to live.” (End of Chapter)
