175 Uproot the Weeds (3)

“They’ve been doing this business for many years, and they’ve cooperated with many people in the underworld.” The one-eyed man laughed drily and nodded.

“You can get into the underworld with this level of skill?” Jiang Ming asked with some disdain.

The one-eyed man quickly whimpered, “You’re right. I’m just garbage. Please be magnanimous and spare my life. I still have some treasures hidden outside Xiaoqian Mountain.”

Jiang Ming looked at him with a faint smile.

!!

The one-eyed man’s legs went soft, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He said in a tearful voice, “I have elderly people and children to take care of. I was forced to do this.”

A fireball was cast on his head, and he was instantly burned into a pile of charcoal.

Jiang Ming glanced at the corpses in the yard. The battle had ended quickly. Except for a few patches of burnt grass, there were no other traces.

However, this was not the mortal world. He could not just leave these corpses here.

First, he collected the talismans, magic artifacts, and other treasures from the corpses.

Then, he used his Fire Control Technique and burnt the bodies to ashes.

“Not even a single storage ring!” he grumbled.

The next morning, he went to the spirit rice field.

“Ming, are you sprinkling fertilizer? Where did you get it? Is it good?” Old Gu Zi walked to Jiang Ming, pointed to the gray powder scattered in the field, and asked curiously.

“It’s a gift from someone in town. It’s my first time trying it.” Jiang Ming laughed and threw the last bit of powder into the field.

“You’ve finished uprooting the weeds? Let’s go, I’ll water your crops.”

Jiang Ming felt bad for Old Gu Zi. Thus, he arranged for Old Gu Zi to clear out the weeds in the field for him. For every acre cleared, he would perform the Misty Rain Technique.

“I see. Thank you, Ming!” Old Gu Zi also stopped asking about the fertilizer and said with a smile, “Weeding is very important. We must uproot the weeds. Otherwise, they can destroy an entire harvest.”

Jiang Ming smiled and nodded.

Jiang Ming sat alone in a corner of the Jade Pavilion, leisurely drinking wine and listening to the cultivators in the restaurant discussing various topics.

“A large-scale annual individual cultivator trade fair was set up. I heard that many people have found some good stuff.”

“It’s also very chaotic. The law enforcement team is working tirelessly to mitigate the chaos!”

“After all, it’s a land of individual cultivators. You need to be able to watch your own back.”

Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed with a trace of realization!

It was no wonder that there had been more strangers in Xiaoqian Mountain these days!

After finishing a bottle of wine, Jiang Ming got up and strolled around the market. There were many more stalls, and the merchandise was dazzling.

Other than the individual cultivators, the cultivation forces of the Litfire Region also took advantage of this trade fair to come to Xiaoqian Mountain to sell their goods or to search for treasures.

“Eh? Those are the people from the Fire Lotus Valley.”

Jiang Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of a few figures and saw the embroidery patch on their clothes.

This was the first time he had seen cultivators of the Fire Lotus Valley after leaving the Red Pine Snowfield.

“However, now is not the time to provoke them.” Jiang Ming’s expression did not change as he walked past them.

Jiang Ming looked around as he slowly walked to the stall of the Three Talents Guild.

He casually opened a bottle of their pills and asked, “How much is this.”

“Friend, you have a good eye! These Qi-Returning Pills are produced by the Fire Lotus Valley. Their medicinal effects are three times better than other similar pills!”

The two cultivators immediately welcomed him warmly. In just a few minutes, Jiang Ming got all the information he wanted to know. Then, he casually bought a bottle of pills and left.

“Now, it’s time to find those three.”
