Chapter 117 Two Gifts

On a sunny morning, a spaceship larger than a house landed in front of Shekou Mountain.

This made the villagers around Shekou Mountain very surprised.

They had never seen such a magnificent house, and this house could fly in the sky.

There were several foundation-building monks wearing golden armor standing around the ship-shaped house.

The golden armor on their bodies shone brightly under the sun, making people unable to open their eyes.

The spaceship only stayed at the foot of Shekou Mountain for a moment before flying away.

This moment has become an unforgettable memory for many people, and they can brag about it for several lifetimes.

So much so that hundreds of years later, there are still local elders telling their younger generations that there was a beautiful house that could fly, and the tiles on the house were all made of gold.

Ji Cang came quietly and left in glory.

Er Gouzi also truly saw what royal style is.

The few foundation-building warriors on the spaceship who served as decorations, the golden armor on their bodies was a magic weapon, the weapons in their hands were magic weapons, the pants were magic weapons, and the shoes and hats were all magic weapons.

Even if the entire Anchang County was sold, it would not be possible to exchange for a set of this set of golden equipment.

And these people were just placed outside the spaceship to make it look better, and they could only be regarded as decorations.

With Er Gouzi's mere Qi training, if he followed Ji Cang to the capital, he might not be qualified to be a decoration for the Qi Wang Mansion.

It was dark and ugly, and with Qi training, he could probably only sweep the toilet, feed pigs, make fire, and chop wood for the Qi Wang.

It was better to be the creditor of the Qi Wang now.

Ji Cang took Sima Yi away, and Sima Yi also kidnapped Xiao Ezi by the way. It was really a girl who could not be kept when she grew up.

However, before leaving, Ji Cang gave Er Gouzi two more gifts.

One was land. The county magistrate was arrested, and the large tracts of fertile land and barren mountains that originally belonged to the county magistrate, including the large tract of spiritual land in Chengxi Town.

This large amount of assets was priced at one tael of silver, and all of them were packaged and resold to Er Gouzi.

Both parties clearly stated the price, and there was no deception. The money was paid and the goods were delivered at the same time. It was fair and just, and no one had any objections.

Er Gouzi did not bargain, and gave a large ingot of silver at that time.

From then on, the biggest landlord in the entire Anchang County was none other than Er Gouzi.

Especially the large piece of spiritual field in Chengxi Town, how many people were envious.

In addition to the land, another great gift was a secret method of cultivation.

Since the last time I saw Ji Cang flick his fingers and easily kill three foundation-building cultivators.

Er Gouzi realized at that time that although they were both foundation-building cultivators, their true strength was far apart.

Later, he saw that the Zhenguo Army chased more than 20 foundation-building cultivators frantically with only a team of ten people.

This further confirmed his guess.

Later, he found an opportunity to ask Ji Cang for advice.

It turns out that the strength of a cultivator is not only related to his cultivation level, but also to the cultivation method and the magic tools and treasures he uses.

The rebels generally take the Great Blood Soul Pill, and their cultivation level is indeed improved very quickly.

But their foundation is unstable, their magic power is not pure and strong enough, and their combat effectiveness is also inferior to that of ordinary cultivators of the same level.

As a member of the royal family, Ji Cang can access all the top-notch techniques and has no shortage of cultivation resources.

If he fully improves his cultivation level, it will be no problem to break through to the Golden Core in his twenties.

But he doesn't need to rush to improve his cultivation level, but to take steady steps, improve slowly, and build a solid foundation.

According to Ji Cang's bragging, in his prime, he could beat 10 cultivators of the same level.

If he reveals his identity as the King of Qi, even the Golden Core cultivators can't beat him and can only beg for mercy from him.

The secret method that Ji Cang gave to Er Gouzi is called "Nine-Layer Foundation Building".

This secret method can only be practiced when you reach the Foundation Building stage.

It is to use secret methods to continuously refine and purify one's own mana, expand the capacity of the Qi Sea Dantian, and make the mana pure and strong.

When this secret method is practiced to the extreme, one person's strength is equivalent to nine cultivators of the same level.

However, before leaving, Ji Cang warned Er Gouzi not to be greedy and not to be ambitious.

It is good to be able to practice to the fifth or sixth level.

Because this secret method is very time-consuming and requires a lot of resources.

Foundation-building cultivators only have a lifespan of more than 200 years. If all resources and energy are used on this, it may lead to the exhaustion of lifespan and failure to advance.

Er Gouzi put away this secret method that can only be practiced after the foundation is built. He is only at the seventh level of Qi training now, which is far from enough.

Now that the unrest has just settled, there are many things to do, and there are a lot of things to do.

He now owns so much land, but he only has the reputation of a martial arts scholar, which is obviously far from enough.

Only by passing the martial arts examination can all taxes be exempted.

However, now that the chaos has just been settled, the martial arts examination originally scheduled for the spring has been postponed for a few months.

Er Gouzi took advantage of these months to organize spring farming production, and planted crops on all the land that could be planted.

He now has too much land, and it is simply impossible to plant it with only the two thousand people under his command.

Moreover, after several years of unrest, the entire Anchang County, and even the entire Qingzhou, was deserted, and nine out of ten households were empty.

Some died in the war, and a larger part died in the cult and were eaten by others.

In the past, there were many people and little land, and a large number of tenants rushed to farm. They went to the landlord's house to give gifts and say good things, so that they could rent a few plots of land at a high price to farm.

Now it is completely the opposite, there are many lands and few people, and no one is farming.

Even if the landlord says good things, the tenants are still picky, and no one is willing to farm the inferior land, and the tenant rent has also been reduced to 30%.

The price of a lot of land has plummeted because no one is cultivating it.

In the past, he would not sell the land even if he offered 20 taels of silver, but now he still cannot sell it even if he offers one or two taels of silver per mu.

Er Gouzi took this opportunity to buy a lot of land, and connected some of the land that was originally unconnected into a large piece.

Although there are not enough people now and no one is cultivating it, he just likes to hoard land.

He feels comfortable looking at the large piece of land he owns.

Even Huang Laocai exchanged all his family savings and the 110 taels of silver that Er Gouzi gave him every year for land.

Now Huang Laocai has become a landlord again, owning hundreds of mu of land. He cannot hire tenants, so his whole family, young and old, go to farm with bare chests.

On this day, Er Gouzi brought more than a hundred strong men and settled them all in Chengxi Town.

Sun Wangcai was in charge, and the more than a hundred of them were responsible for the cultivation and maintenance of this spiritual field.

These spiritual fields are still mainly planted with Chaotian tribute pepper, a specialty of Anchang County.

In addition, some spiritual medicines were transplanted from the top of Shekou Mountain and planted in the spiritual fields here.

Sun Wangcai and his group were all trained by Ji Cang himself, and they have good combat effectiveness.

With Er Gouzi's reputation, they should be able to defend this spiritual field.

After settling the spiritual fields in Chengxi Town, Er Gouzi returned to Shekou Mountain. Yushan was still working hard in the fields.

"Yushan, you have worked hard!"

"It's not hard. It's my honor to work for my master in my lifetime."

Yushan said sincerely, his two big ears fluttered, and tears of emotion rolled in his big black and bright eyes.

"Don't tire yourself out, pay attention to rest."

Er Gouzi also said with concern.

The relationship between them as master and servant is closer than that between many fathers, sons and brothers.

At this moment, Er Gouzi found that there were two fewer spiritual medicines in the field.

He saw that the two spiritual medicines were there yesterday.

"Yushan, why are there two missing spiritual herbs here?"

Yushan hurried over to check, looked for a while, and shook his head in confusion.

"Master, could it be that the big goose stole the herbs?"

"Impossible, don't think that the big goose can't talk, so you can push everything onto the goose."

Er Gouzi has been raising geese for so long, of course he knows the habits of the big goose.

When the big goose steals, it often stands at the edge of the spiritual field, eats from the edge to the inside, and leaves traces of the goose eating.

The two missing spiritual herbs are located in the middle of the spiritual field, and there are no traces of the big goose biting around them.

So, it shouldn't be the big goose.

"Yushan, tell me the truth, did you steal the spiritual herbs?"

Er Gouzi naturally thought of Yushan, because he had a criminal record.

Yushan was so scared when he heard this that he knelt down immediately.

"Master, I am loyal to you, how could I possibly steal the elixir."

"I am your most loyal servant, it is definitely not me."

But his defense was somewhat weak, after all, his criminal record was there, and it was hard for people to believe.

"Yushan, I have told you many times to treat this place as your own home."

"Why can't you change?"

Er Gouzi was heartbroken and persuaded earnestly.

"Master, I really treat this place as my own home, and I have never stolen anything."
