Chapter 9 Storm Is Coming

"Obviously I just want to practice quietly, but it's a pity that I can't rest for a moment when I step on the road of rivers and lakes."

With low strength, there is nothing you can do!

If he were stronger, how could these guys who were just trying to rip off his food?

Fang Yun put away the Ji Lei Stone, then tidied up the cured spiritual fish, and put it back into the fish pond. Being disturbed by those bastards, he had no interest at all and didn't want to work, so he just put the spiritual fish back into the fish pond. After casual feeding, it was completely dark.

Fang Yun immediately escaped into the fairy mansion space to see the results of his daily hard work.

The five spiritual chickens were wandering leisurely in the animal pen garden. There was nothing abnormal. The iron-toothed fish was growing better and could be harvested soon. The two red-eyed carps were not unusual. They did not seem to be infected with insect diseases, but to be on the safe side, they would still be harvested tomorrow. You have to feed them some thunderstones.

As for the two spiritual plants, they are still early to mature.

In the Immortal Mansion space, Fang Yun originally thought that the growth of the spiritual chicken would be affected because of the lack of sunlight.

You must know that all things in the world can survive under the sunshine of the sun. Without the sun, animals would not be able to survive.

But now, neither the spirit chickens nor the cultured spirit fish seem to have anything strange. They are still growing normally, and even growing faster.

It seems that the crescent moon in the sky plays the role of the sun, which is really the power of creation.

However, Fang Yun did not dwell too much on this. The secret of this immortal mansion was obviously not something he could explore clearly now.

There are enough surprises at this point.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun became busy in the space again, combing spiritual plants, feeding spiritual chickens and spiritual fish.

…

At this time, in the East Lake Restaurant, the three people from the pest control team during the day were in the private room upstairs, waiting for something.

The man at the head was the fat monk from the sixth level of Qi Refining. This man was Li Mingze. He was in charge of the import and export trade of all the fish farms in the southern peninsula of East Lake Island, where Fang Yun was, and was also responsible for receiving food from his ancestral land. The fish fry that were escorted over were handed over to several shops selling them.

For example, Li Lingfu's shop has always been responsible for supplying goods.

In order to prevent problems in the supply of spiritual fish, the Li family specially divided the entire supply chain into several links, which are interlocked. Once there is a problem in any link, the problem can be found out immediately.

At this time, he was leading his two men, waiting for someone in the private room, looking towards the stairs from time to time.

After a while, a man covered in black robes appeared, followed by a thin man who looked like a bamboo pole with a sinister face.

When the man in black robe saw Li Mingze, he took off his hood. If Fang Yun were here at this time, he could tell at a glance that this man was Ye Mingzhang, who treated them for the spiritual fish and insect infestation during the day, and the thin figure The guy is none other than He Hong.

When Li Mingze saw the visitor, he quickly stood up to greet him: "Oh, Brother Ye, it's better to meet him than to be famous. Brother Ye's demeanor is worthy of being a true cultivator of Lei Fa. I am really honored to be here to attend this meeting!"

"Yes, yes, this cooperation can be so smooth, all thanks to Senior Ye's exquisite thunder skills, and the second young master is really impressed by it!" He Hong also followed suit and praised him.

"Oh, even if my thunder skills are exquisite, if I didn't take care of you, I wouldn't be able to succeed so easily this time. Doesn't the majority of the benefits of cooperation belong to you?"

Ye Mingzhang followed the other person's words intentionally or unintentionally, and he was completely different from the cold and arrogant Leifa monk during the day.

He didn't seem to care about the two people's compliments. After saying a few words casually, they sat down and started eating and drinking.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Li Mingze smiled and said to Ye Mingzhang: "Brother Ye, the second young master attaches great importance to brother Ye's talents. I wonder if brother Ye intends to serve the young master?"

"No, I'm used to being undisciplined and don't want to be bound by trivial matters." Ye Mingzhang smiled teasingly and said, "I think there must be a hidden story behind this insect infestation. I wonder if the young master is on guard?"

"Haha, brother Ye, don't worry. The Li family has been aware of this matter. It is now being investigated by the family elders. The results will be announced soon. Let's talk about continuing to cooperate in pest control. Let's have a drink, have a drink." Li Mingze said nothing. Concerned, he replied casually.

"Oh, that's okay!"

Ye Mingzhang swallowed a glass of wine with a hint of bitterness in his heart. As a noble Leifa monk, he was proud of himself.

It's a pity that reality is not a fairy tale. Apart from Lei Fa, he has not learned any other cultivation skills. In order to build the foundation of the road, he often explored secret realms and searched hard.

But after an accident, he chose a more stable way to make money and no longer dared to take risks.

This time, it was a helpless move to cooperate with Li Dongchen, the second generation ancestor of the Li family.

Still strength, not enough strength.

The Li family is the overlord of East Lake Island. Not only do they have three family elders who have established foundations, but the head of the family, Li Honghuang, is a major cultivator in the late stages of foundation establishment. There are also more than a dozen monks in the late stages of Qi refining, and several Qi refining perfections.

Although Lei Fa is unparalleled in fighting, how can he provoke this kind of power? Otherwise, if he eats this pest control business, he will definitely become rich overnight.

But at this time, He Hong suddenly came to the door and said that Li Dongchen wanted to do a business with him.

The Li family's red-eyed carp had an insect infestation, and someone had to be responsible for taking care of it, so Li Dongchen took the opportunity to take over the task.

Although Li Dongchen lacked talent for cultivation, he was treacherous and cunning. He immediately thought that there was a lot of profit to be made from this matter.

He then joined forces with Ye Mingzhang to spread the news of pest control in the market. The water rat surnamed Liu was found by He Hong.

This cooperation has several benefits. First, he can take this opportunity to control the pests. After all, he is the second son of the Li family. If something happens to the Li family, it will not be good for him.

Second, he can show his face in front of his father. Third, he can earn a lot of spiritual stones, and all the income from this business can go into his own pocket.

Finally, he used this cooperation to pull Li Mingze into the same boat.

It can be said to be a win-win situation and a happy cooperation.

As for the hidden story behind the spiritual fish's illness, Li Dongchen didn't care. His elder brother was responsible for investigating this matter.

As for you saying that someone lost money, who lost money? Of course, it was fishermen and farmers like Fang Yun who lost money. Li Dongchen's approach was to completely transfer the losses of the Li family to the heads of these fishermen and farmers.

In order to control the insect infestation, they were first harvested by Ye Mingzhang, and then harvested by Li Mingze, which was a double loss.

As for why Ye Mingzhang did not ask for a high price when he promised to help Fang Yun and his team control the serious infestation?

There were also considerations. First, he was afraid that forcing too deep would be counterproductive. The cultivators have their own blood. If they feel that they can't survive, they will be in chaos.

Second, they were afraid that the fishermen and farmers would think the price was too high and give up treating the spirit fish. Although they would bear more losses, they had to consider whether it was cost-effective to treat the spirit fish. At that time, the money that the fishermen and farmers would use to buy fish fry again would not fall into their hands. Business, after all, can't seek temporary huge profits.

…

There is an inner lake on Donghu Island. A spiritual vein converges in the lake. The ancestor of the Li family used his magical powers and used the method of moving mountains to move a mountain to stand in the center of the lake, forming a unique pattern of island in the lake and lake in the lake.

The ancestral home of the Li family was built on this pavilion in the middle of the lake. In the main hall of the inner courtyard, Li Honghuang stared at everyone with cold eyes, his face gloomy and full of oppression.

At this time, everyone in the hall was a direct descendant of the Li family, including elders of each branch, managers of various shops, business talkers, etc.

Everyone did not dare to breathe, and kept silent, their eyes only swept around, and they did not dare to look directly at the head of the family above.

"Who can give me an explanation? Didn't you say that you have tracked down the clues? Can the Taoist Moth, a mere evil cultivator of the eighth level of Qi Refining, escape from your hands?"

There is indeed a hidden story behind the insect plague of the red-eyed carp this time, which was deliberately done by an evil cultivator named Taoist Moth.

"Father, calm down. I am also responsible for this matter. I didn't investigate it clearly. This Taoist Moth has inherited the legacy of the Insect Demon. His methods are strange and difficult to track."

"Hmph, he just inherited a legacy of the Insect Demon. What a waste."

"Master, this disaster is not entirely caused by the Taoist Moth. There are also some termites in the family. We must eliminate them with ruthless hands."

The eldest son Li Donghe also agreed and said: "Uncle is right. This insect disaster is caused by the unrest inside and outside the family. And I suspect that there are other behind-the-scenes culprits!"

"Hmph! It's just a few little bugs jumping up and down. Don't worry about it. I will deal with it myself."

"Where is Dongchen?"

Li Honghuang asked with a frown.

"I am now in charge of clearing the insect pests in the other fish farms. With Nie Peng following me, there will be no problem."

"Heh, this bastard, it's already this late, and he's still restless, and he thinks there aren't enough troubles!"

After Li Honghuang finished speaking, he could only calm down helplessly, looking at the lake water rippling in the breeze outside the window.

He whispered: "The storm is coming!"
