For a regular mountain fire covering less than ten thousand mu, putting it out was not difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Less than half an hour after Zhou Chun and the others returned to the market, the blue-robed Daoist found the Spirit Beast Hall by following his senses.
With Liu Qingshan taking responsibility of his own accord and Zhou Jiasheng vouching for him, Zhou Chun successfully escaped punishment and was not treated as an accomplice to the arson.
However, the Liu family father and daughter were each sentenced to five years of labor in the market, or fined three hundred Spirit Coins apiece.
Naturally, Liu Qingshan and his daughter could not produce that much in fines. Altogether, they managed to scrape together only one hundred and fifty-four Spirit Coins.
Zhou Chun decided to be kind to the end and helped them make up the remaining one hundred and forty-six Spirit Coins, allowing Liu Shiyun to avoid punishment.
But as for Liu Qingshan's fine, Zhou Chun was powerless to help.
Thus, at Liu Qingshan's entreaty, Zhou Chun discussed it with Zhou Jiasheng and arranged for Liu Shiyun to work in the shop as an attendant at the Spirit Beast Hall while cultivating on the side.
Of course, this was only a temporary measure. If the Zhou Family arranged for another attendant to come over during that period, Liu Shiyun would certainly have to vacate her position.
Naturally, Zhou Chun had not done all this out of pure kindness. He had his eyes on the Medicine Valley mentioned by the Liu family father and daughter.
Putting aside the value of the many wild spirit herbs in the Medicine Valley, that group of Green Crown Flying Snakes alone would make excellent spirit beast seedlings for the Zhou Family.
