Gu Qingfeng was leaning back on a chair, leisurely basking in the sun . He had been in Redcloud Sect for five or six days, and every day he played chess with Huode, drinking wine, and living a very comfortable life .
In the garden, beside Gu Qingfeng who was currently sunbathing, there was also a young man who was practicing martial skills diligently . He looked to be in his early twenties, he had a st.u.r.dy body and dark skin . At first glance, he looked like an honest man .
He was w.a.n.g Dashan, a janitor from the Spiritual Garden . The young man was very simple, straightforward, and hardworking . Every time after taking care of the garden he would diligently practice his martial skills .
But what puzzled Gu Qingfeng was that every time at noon, w.a.n.g Dashan would take a hoe with him and leave for a while . This was also the case for today .
“Grandfather, I’ll leave for a while . ”
w.a.n.g Dashan was an honest man and Huode explained that he needed to serve Gu Qingfeng as if he was his grandfather, and he did exactly as he was told and always called Gu Qingfeng grandfather .
Gu Qingfeng took a sip of wine and asked, “Dasan, where do you go every day with that hoe?”
“I go to look after my spiritual field . ”
Spiritual field?

Gu Qingfeng knew that this so-called spiritual field was used to grow all kinds of medicinal herbs and he teased, “I didn’t expect you to grow a spiritual field . ”
w.a.n.g Dashan grinned, “I’ve been growing it since I joined the Redcloud Sect . ”
“Where’s your spiritual field? Is it far from here?”
“It’s not far, it’s near the sect at the Redleaf Valley . ”
“Then let’s go, show it to me . ” Huode had left earlier in the morning and Gu Qingfeng had no clue about his whereabouts so he was bored and thought about going to w.a.n.g Dashan’s spiritual field to take a look .
“Ah…Grandfather, do you want to go too?”
“What’s wrong? Your grandfather can’t come with you?”
“N-no, I didn’t mean that…it’s just that…right now it’s noon and the sun is very powerful, and it’s extremely hot at the Redleaf Valley, I’m afraid you… ”
“Enough, it’s just hot, nothing more . ” Gu Qingfeng got up and lazily stretched out then looked at the blazing sun hanging in the sky and yawned “Don’t say, I want to get bask in the sun more . Let’s go!”

“O-ok!” Since Gu Qingfeng had insisted on going, w.a.n.g Dashan could not refuse, so he took Gu Qingfeng along with him to the Red Leaf Valley .
w.a.n.g Dashan naturally knew about the gossip that had been circulating for the past few days in the sect, and he was afar that the young man before him was Young Master Bloodflame, the one who had made Ouyang Ye fall in love with him at first sight .
He also knew that Gu Qingfeng had failed Foundation Establishment and got a mutant body, and it seemed that Ouyang Ye had brought him to Redcloud Sect hoping that Elder Huode would help him out .
Originally, w.a.n.g Dashan had believed this was true, but after several days of observation, he found something was wrong . This young man didn’t respect Elder Huode at all and was very nonchalant and rude in front of him, and he even dared to call him an old man .
One had to know that Elder Huode was the oldest, the most respected, and the one with the highest position in the sect . He was the Grand Elder!
No one in the entire Redcloud Sect dared to talk to him like this!
w.a.n.g Dashan could no understand why this young man was so audacious and why Elder Huode did not seem to care .
Shouldn’t he be more respectful if he wanted to obtain Elder Huode’s help? Although he was not clear about this, he did not dare to ask more .
After leaving the sect and leaping over a mountain, the two came to the Redleaf Valley, which was vast and filled with spiritual fields .
Gu Qingfeng glanced over and saw that many of the disciples were busy in their spiritual fields . After asking w.a.n.g Dashan, he found out that most of the Redcloud Sect’s disciples had their own spiritual fields .

Life was difficult, and cultivation was even more difficult!
Cultivating in a sect was not free, and after entering one, you had to pay a lot of fees every year . Most of the disciples were from poor backgrounds, and although they might be able to afford the fees, they wouldn’t be able to sustain the costs that were required for the cultivation resources .
If you were successful in your cultivation or maybe proficient in an immortal art, you could venture out to earn money by manufacturing talismans, arranging formations, or sell your skill like Ouyang Ye who was proficient in music . If you were confident in your own strength, adventuring out with a few other people to hunt for treasures was also possible .
Needless to say, the prerequisite for journeying out to make money was that you had a high cultivation base, or you were proficient in an immortal art . Among the over 10,000 disciples from the Redcloud Sect, most of the people who made money by immortal arts were inner sect disciples . For the time being, the outer sect disciple did not have this ability, not to mention janitors like w.a.n.g Dashan .
He had worked as a janitor in Redcloud Sect for several years, but even now he was only at the eighth level of the Postnatal Realm . As for immortal arts, he seemed to specialize in martial skills, however, due to his poor comprehension, he had not even practiced the most basic martial skill ‘Blazing Fist’ until now .
As Gu Qingfeng walked along, he saw that there were all kinds of things planted in these spiritual fields, such as Fire Pearl Gra.s.s and Starleaf Fruit . Almost all of them were medicinal herbs used in alchemy .
After walking for more than half an hour, they had arrived at the foot of a very remote mountain . Here was w.a.n.g Dashan’s spiritual field .
His spiritual field was not big, almost about an acre or so, and the thing planted on it was the most common Fire Pearl Gra.s.s . It was not very valuable, but it was a good nutrient and it grew fast, taking only one month until it could be harvested .
Looking at those numerous bright red Fire Pearl Gra.s.ses on w.a.n.g Dashan’s spiritual field, it seemed like they were ready to be harvested in just a few days .
Although Gu Qingfeng had been cultivating for hundreds of years and he had done everything from digging, stealing, cheating, and even killing for resources in his poor days, he had never grown a spiritual field .
Looking at how meticulously was w.a.n.g Dashan taking care of those Fire Pearl Gra.s.ses, Gu Qingfeng had also become interested and searched for a barren place, then carried a hoe and started digging .
“Grandfather, what…what are you doing?!” w.a.n.g Dashan was instantly shocked when he saw him digging up the land
“I’ve gotten bored of watching and decided to try to plant my spiritual field . ”
“Grandfather, why do you want to plant a spiritual field…”
“What? Do you mean that I can’t plant one?”
“That’s not what I meant…it’s just that I heard that your musical attainments are very high, and at the Superb Villa many people have offered high prices for you to play music…There’s no need for you to plant a spiritual field here . ”
w.a.n.g Dasan really could no understand why he wanted to do this . He heard that at Superb Villa, some people were willing to pay 400,000 and 500,000 spiritual stones for Gu Qingfeng to play music . That was simply a sky-high price for someone like him who earned just about a hundred spiritual stones per year .
“I was just bored and needed to find something to do . ”
