My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 349
Chapter 348 Awakening the Water Spiritual Root!
As everyone knows, the first place winner of the Thousand Sails Racing Competition receives a Water Spirit Crystal as a reward.
They will also receive 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones, a century-long fishing right in the Spirit Gathering Abyss, and a Wave-Breaking Boat personally gifted by the city lord.
Now that all the items are in Xu Changqing’s hands, considering that he and Chu Qiu won first place together, he should give the other party a share of the reward.
Xu Changqing’s idea was to split the 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones equally between the two individuals.
As a result, Chu Qiu only asked for 5000.
As for the Wavebreaker, its advantages and disadvantages are both very obvious.
Its advantage is that it moves very fast on the water.
The drawback is that it cannot fly in the air.
Although it can glide on the ground, its speed is still not as fast as that of land-based spirit beasts.
Chu Qiu already possessed Crane Seven, so naturally he looked down on this thing.
As for the century-old fishing rights in Julingyuan, they are only willing to take 10% of the total revenue.
But Xu Changqing’s concern was not the distribution of profits, but how to operate the business.
Because of its proximity to the underwater dragon vein, Juling Abyss is extremely rich in resources.
Not to mention monthly or yearly earnings, the daily income alone is at least 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
If some rare natural treasures are discovered, the value can at least double, or even several times.
The biggest problem is how to maximize profits.
Do it yourself?
Sure, but it’s a waste of time!
Hire someone else?
That would result in very high labor costs!
It should be noted that the Spirit Gathering Abyss is located deep within the Canglan Sea, and ordinary Tanka people simply cannot descend there.
To put it bluntly, we need to hire a group of cultivators, at least at the Qi Refining stage.
Moreover, one must possess water, earth, and metal spiritual roots.
Secondly, it is also necessary to rent a diving collection vessel.
All of these combined would definitely amount to a considerable expense.
Although the Gathering Spirit Abyss offers great benefits, obtaining it is difficult.
The best approach is to collaborate with others and share some of the profits.
And that is why Zhao Qianyun stayed.
Xu Changqing pondered, “Cooperate with the City Lord’s Mansion?”
Zhao Qianyun smiled slightly: “The Spirit Gathering Abyss is ours to begin with; we’re just giving you a hundred years to manage it.”
Xu Changqing nodded slightly: “That’s true.”
Zhao Qianyun said with a playful expression, “Of course, if you have acquaintances in the five major families, you can also choose to cooperate with them, but the cost will be… higher.”
Xu Changqing asked, puzzled, “Why?”
Zhao Qianyun explained, “The area near the Spirit Gathering Abyss is the lair of the Merfolk. If the five major families or other forces want to collect resources, they will have to pay protection money.”
Hu Bugui asked in surprise, “Doesn’t your city lord’s mansion have to pay?”
Zhao Qianyun gave an affirmative answer: “Our city lord’s mansion has a very good personal relationship with the merfolk. Not only do we not have to pay protection fees, but we can also hire merfolk to help us collect resources.”
“So, there’s absolutely no choice!”
“Either choose the City Lord’s Mansion, or choose something else!”
“Should we go back and consult the Immortal Sect?”
The group began to discuss amongst themselves.
Chu Qiu said in a deep voice, “I don’t think we can go back to consult the Immortal Sect.”
Xu Changqing said thoughtfully, “Are you worried about… being robbed?”
Chu Qiu said seriously, “If the Immortal Sect finds out about this, then we only have two outcomes.”
First, the Immortal Sect doesn’t value the benefits of the Spirit Gathering Abyss.
Second, they are willing to cooperate but want to take the majority of the profits.
Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing exchanged glances with Hu Bugui, Li Sancai, Li Xianglin, and Han Su.
As for why Zhao Ziyue wasn’t there… he hasn’t returned yet.
Zhao Qianyun spoke again: “For Brother Chu’s sake, our City Lord’s Mansion will only take 30% of the profits, and the rest will be yours.”
That is to say, Chu Qiu accounts for 10%.
The city lord’s mansion accounts for 30%.
Xu Changqing owns the remaining 60%.
It must be said that compared to the five major families and other forces that pay protection money, this is quite different.
Or perhaps the Immortal Sect will take the lion’s share, or even potentially steal all the profits from the Gathering Spirit Abyss.
Currently, the City Lord’s Mansion is the best option.
Not only do they only receive 30% of the profits, but they can also hire mermaids to help with the harvesting.
This is much better than finding a group of cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages yourself.
No matter how you look at it, especially from the perspective of maximizing benefits, it is undoubtedly the best choice.
There isn’t even one of them.
Based on a daily rate of 1000 mid-grade spirit stones, Xu Changqing can earn 600 mid-grade spirit stones every day just by lying down.
That’s 6000 in ten days.
Nearly 20,000 a month.
They no longer need to sell wine or elixirs.
Xu Changqing smiled and said, “I don’t seem to have a better choice.”
He immediately discussed the details with Zhao Qianyun.
Only after both parties were satisfied with the discussion did they sign the talisman contract.
Then, Zhao Qianyun turned and left.
Although the century-old grand sailing competition has successfully concluded, he still has many things to do.
For example, going to Rumeng Island.
Originally, Zhao Qianyun also wanted to invite Chu Qiu and Xu Changqing to come to the island together.
Unfortunately, the two were not interested and refused outright.
With no outsiders around, Hu Bugui chuckled and said, “Old Xu, now that you’ve struck it rich, shouldn’t we go to the Sea Demon Pavilion to celebrate?”
Xu Changqing wholeheartedly agreed: “That makes sense!”
However, the celebration was only one aspect.
He had another idea, or rather, a decision.
The idea is to find a mermaid to merge with while simultaneously giving birth to a water spirit root.
Immediately, everyone left the Suppressing Dragon Tower and headed towards the Sea Demon Pavilion.
…
…
Siren Pavilion, Whale Fall Elegant Room.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Xu Changqing and the others smelled a faint salty, damp odor.
Looking inside, my eyes lit up.
The interior decoration is very nice.
The walls are covered with deep-sea blue diatomaceous earth as a base, adorned with silver-gray water patterns.

The floor was covered with a light sand-colored soft carpet, which felt soft underfoot and made no sound when stepped on.
In the center is an irregularly shaped wooden table with a smooth, mirror-like surface. In the very center is a translucent piece of crystal glass containing small corals and seashells, which refracts fine light spots as the light moves.
There are six large wooden chairs next to the table, with soft leather covering the armrests.
Three seashell lamps hang from the roof, each containing a warm yellow luminous pearl. The light shines through the natural patterns of the seashells, casting dappled halos on the walls.
The interplay of light and shadow creates the feeling of being underwater.
In the corner, a miniature trench is built with rocks, through which fresh water flows gently, and the bottom is covered with fine white coral sand.
Several fluorescent fish, about half a finger’s length, swam in the water, their soft murmur echoing the distant, faint sound of ocean waves.
First, several plates of cold dishes were served as appetizers to accompany the drinks.
Iced sea bream, cold jellyfish salad.
Grilled squid and drunken crab claws.
There are many options for drinks.
Whale fat wine, coral-infused fruit wine.
Sea Dew Brew, Pre-Rain Dragon Well.
The hot dishes are distinctive, but not uncommon.
Steamed sea bass, stir-fried conch slices, seafood tofu casserole, and so on.
The service was excellent; the waitresses were all wearing semi-transparent long gowns, and one could vaguely see through them… After eating and drinking their fill, Chu Qiu left with Han Su and Li Xianglin.
Xu Changqing, Hu Bugui, and Li Sancai were left behind to go to the Mermaid Palace.
Li Sancai had never been here before, and this was his first time experiencing it. He was a little shy and didn’t know how to choose.
Having had experience before, Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui quickly selected female servants from the same region.
Although there were more options this time, Xu Changqing still chose Mingzhu.
It’s not because of loyalty, but because of familiarity.
Upon seeing that it was her again, Mingzhu shrank back in fright, but dared not refuse.
Soon, the two sides were completely open with each other and then went into the water.
From tens of meters, hundreds of meters, and then to five hundred meters again.
This time, however, Xu Changqing did not stop; instead, he let Mingzhu continue.
“Master, danger still lurks!”
“fine!”
“Oh well.”
This time, we went straight to 800 meters.
Here, the light has gone from dim to faint.
Occasionally, spots of light would fall from above, but they would disappear like shards of broken glass after a few seconds.
Mingzhu cautiously scanned her surroundings, then asked, “Immortal Master, are you going to continue?”
Xu Changqing shook his head and said, “This is fine.”
At this depth, there is neither particular danger nor a lack of marine life.
Upon hearing this, Mingzhu blushed and embraced him.
While enjoying himself, Xu Changqing took out a Water Spirit Crystal.
This thing resembles a frozen teardrop, its entire surface as clear as ice, shimmering with a pale blue halo.
It feels cool to the touch, but not piercing; instead, it has a slightly warm feel.
If you look closely, you can see that there is flowing water inside.
When Xu Changqing grasped it, the living water inside the crystal suddenly boiled, then melted little by little from the surface, seeping into his body through his palm!
