C1170 Not a Good Thing!
"Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely spread the name of young master and ensure that no one in Linhai doesn't know about it." The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed.
Ye Bufan shook his head. "Don't mention my name. Just say that there is a Soul Cultivator that knows formations guarding the mine. The focus is on the mine, not me. Do you understand? "
"I understand. Young Master is a modest man. He doesn't like to have an undeserved reputation. He doesn't like to be flamboyant. I admire him. I admire him very much." The shopkeeper was no longer in danger of his life, and his words had returned to its original form.
"Okay, you can go back now. Bring someone here to make a deal in five days. If there are any more problems, you can handle it yourself." Ye Bufan waved his hand and asked him to leave.
The manager's body trembled. He looked at Ye Bufan with surprise. He had never thought that after making such a big mess, he would be able to come here to make a deal. How could he not be shocked?
"Still not leaving? Do you want to stay and eat?" Dazhuang glared at the manager.
Only now did the shopkeeper come back to his senses. He bowed repeatedly and left very quickly.
"Ye, why are you selling grain and vegetables to him? This old brat isn't a good thing!" Erzhuang was extremely indignant.
Even Uncle Shen nodded in agreement.
Ye Bufan sighed and said, "Besides him, who else do we know?"
"Uh, our food, vegetables, meat and eggs are all good stuff. Are you afraid that no one will come to buy them?" Erzhuang felt that it was fine if there was no shopkeeper.
Ye Bufan smiled and shook his head. "Then the next person who comes, do you know if he is the subordinate of someone like Second Young Master Lee and Third Young Master Zhang?"
"Oh, it's like that." Erzhuang scratched his head. He understood now. Although the shopkeeper had made a mistake, he already knew everything about it. Instead of trading with other people who didn't know anything about it, he might as well continue trading with the shopkeeper.
Uncle Shen looked at Ye Bufan from the side and felt very gratified. His family had met Ye, and it seemed like he had made the right decision to come to Heavenly Treasure State once again.
As for what the manager said, he naturally had to send someone to investigate.
Uncle Shen asked Uncle Chen to help him, and he quickly found the shopkeeper's information.
Indeed, it was no different from what the manager said. The manager was considered an old man in Heavenly Treasure State, and he also owned a tavern in Soul Continent. He even once had a very large scale.
But later on, the restaurant was spied on by the relatives of the officials. They found a reason to exile him to Heavenly Treasure State.
Ever since they discovered the Heavenly Treasure State, the criminals in the Soul Continent were often sentenced to exile. All of them were sent to Heavenly Treasure State, as long as they served in the army for a long time. Or if they made a great contribution, they would be able to obtain freedom. However, this freedom was only limited to Heavenly Treasure State. No matter how rich one was, one could not go to Soul Continent.
Of course, after such a long time had passed, no one knew how many times people had taken advantage of this loophole. However, it was obvious that the shopkeeper didn't have the ability to take advantage of this loophole and return to the Soul Continent.
People like the shopkeeper, who had served in the army before, were not welcomed by anyone. No matter if it was the family or the gangs, they rarely recruited them because they were afraid that these people would become the spies of the government.
Being able to run a business without any backing, this manager's ability could be considered outstanding.
Furthermore, he did not have a backer, nor did he have a backer. He was the best target for Ye Bufan to make a deal with.
After investigating the manager's background, Ye Bufan began to invest in the management of soilless cultivation. He hoped to make this system even simpler, so that old people like his third aunt, Uncle Shen, and the others could do it. They could easily manage it.
In addition to modifying the landless cultivation cycle breeding system, he spent most of his time studying formations.
In his mind, there were still many formations before and after the fusion of the three worlds, which used true qi as their energy source. If Soul Power was used as the energy source, could True Qi be replaced with Soul Power? Whether or not it could further improve the efficiency of the Soul Stone, these were all things that he needed to carefully study.
Of course, he also did not put aside his own cultivation. After all, although the power of the formation was powerful, there were still a lot of restrictions and restrictions. The consumption of Soul Stone was a huge problem, not to mention the time required to set up the formation.
However, after cultivating for a while, Ye Bufan realized that if he wanted to advance further, he wouldn't be able to do it just by cultivating. He had to prepare the soul essence.
Soul essence was a powerful supplement for the mind. The mind itself was a type of soul. Soul and soul could only be considered as a complete body if both of them were present.
Therefore, after reaching the Shape Changing Stage, besides cultivating diligently and cultivating suitable cultivation techniques, one also had to obtain the soul essence for every advancement.
For every level of advancement, one needed to increase the requirement of a soul essence.
Ye Bufan was currently at the First Level of Transformation. If he wanted to advance to the Second Level of Transformation, he would have to obtain a soul essence in order to advance to the Second Level of Transformation.
The quality of the Soul Essence, the quality, and the degree of difficulty in advancing, would have a very obvious impact on the strength after advancing.
Therefore, searching for a Soul Essence often took a lot of time for the Soul Cultivator. There were even people who would fight with each other to obtain a supreme-grade Soul Essence. They would take advantage of each other and use any means necessary to obtain it.
Even the disciples of aristocratic families and sects had to go through such a process.
As for the members of the government, they were much superior in this aspect. Many local officials did not need to search for Soul Essences themselves, as long as they performed well in their positions. Or perhaps... If they worked hard and did well in their exams, they would be rewarded with Soul Essences.
With a huge network of organizations, it was much easier for the government to find Soul Essences. There were even some Soul Essences that the government would organize people to specifically nurture and produce.
Of course, it was enviable that the officials could directly obtain the soul essences. However, they had not gone through the process of searching for Soul Essences and obtaining Soul Essences. This also caused the officials to not have enough training, and their individual combat strength was on average inferior to aristocratic families and sects.
This was also the reason why the government allowed aristocratic families to exist. The government also needed to select outstanding talents from aristocratic families to enrich the government.
Of course, if they thought that they could defeat the officials by relying on the Soul Cultivator that they obtained the soul essence, then they were gravely mistaken.
Not to mention the fact that the government had a lot of people, just by fighting one on one, the people in the government might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
The reason why the officials were so powerful was not only because they had more experts, but also because they had too many resources.
Every official with a grade would be given an official seal. Each official seal was a soul item that carried the authority of the government. When used in conjunction with the ability of the official, it would be very powerful.
Other than the official seal, every local government had a formation that could suppress outsiders and strengthen the ability of the government officials. They even had the ability to directly defend against attacks.
However, these benefits were not given for free. They had to be within the system of the government. Only then could they enjoy such benefits. Once they left the authorities... Or they would be demoted and demoted. Then these things would be demoted or even taken back. Without these things bestowed by the government, he left the Soul Cultivator in the government system. It would be very difficult for them to compare with other Soul Cultivator in terms of combat strength.
Ye Bufan had originally planned to join the government system, but in the end, he got the cultivation technique by accident and thus did not enter the government system.
Therefore, he needed to rely on himself to find the soul essence that he needed.
This did not make him feel regret.
After all, his psychic power was very special. The soul essence he needed to find might not be that simple. He didn't want others to know about this, so he was very satisfied with his current condition.
Five days later, the shopkeeper came again. This time, he did not bring any strange people with him. Only he himself followed a waiter in the tavern.
Ye Bufan also knew that waiter. He was the waiter in the tavern, and he often saw him.
The goods traded between the two parties were only 100 catties in total. It wasn't much at all. A handcart was pushed away and it didn't need many people.
After the transaction was completed, the Soul Stone in Ye Bufan's hands immediately became abundant.
He discussed with Uncle Shen and prepared to buy a cultivation technique for Dazhuang Erzhuang first.
Uncle Shen did not decline this point. After all, Dazhuang Erzhuang had cultivated a cultivation technique that was beneficial to the entire Shen Family. He could also let Ye Bufan have two more true helpers.
However, this was not easy. Dazhuang Erzhuang's Divine Sense was too rare. It would be difficult to find a suitable cultivation technique.
However, Ye Bufan was not prepared to give up. Since he had lured these two idiots onto the path of Soul Cultivator, he had to take responsibility until the end.
He didn't dare say how powerful these two idiots were, but he still had to let them enter the Shape Changing Stage.
The Soul Cultivator had been developing for a thousand years, and it had started from sensing. It had broken through the stage of Thought Transformation and the stage of leaving the body. Naturally, it didn't have those two stages of combat techniques.
In order to have combat strength, one had to have a Sense Stage cultivation technique.
The breeding and cultivation system in the mine had finally been remodeled. Uncle Shen's third aunt alone could manage it, and Dazhuang and Erzhuang would be in charge of the work.
Ye Bufan saw that it didn't matter if he wasn't there, so he told Uncle Shen and the others to prepare to return to Linhai.
Dazhuang and Erzhuang were honest this time. They didn't argue and went back together. After asking Uncle Shen, they found out that these two were obsessed with exploration. They were exploring the abandoned mine, searching for strange stones and slag.
After returning to Linhai, Ye Bufan went straight into the city. He didn't go back to the Pingkang Workshop, nor did he inform anyone.
He had always been wary of Uncle Chen and the others. The reason why he couldn't trust them completely was because of their identities in Changle Gang.
Ye Bufan tried his best not to have any contact with a local gang like the Changle Gang.
After entering the city, Ye Bufan didn't go straight to the black market or the auction house to find some skills for Dazhuang and Erzhuang. Instead, he strolled around the teahouse in the tavern. He wanted to check how the tavern owner had completed his task.
After walking around, he was very satisfied with the result. From time to time, people would mention food and vegetables with one-third of the poison content, and the abandoned mine.
Suddenly, someone asked about the situation of the mine, and then was decisively warned. Although it was said that the mine was inconspicuous, the Shen family was just a rundown family. But they were lucky to have a great expert who knew formations. It was said that those vegetables and grains were made by the great expert. In the future, there would be chicken, fish, and eggs.
