Putting luck to use

Fang Weiyan arrived Pingshui City, wanting to see how the fields outside the city were being cultivated.

When we arrived outside the city, all we could see was lush greenery; the earliest vegetable seeds we planted had already sprouted.

Pingjiang City is close to the Wu River, and with the Wu River as its irrigation source, there is no need to worry about a lack of water.

When Fang Weiyan came out, the people outside the city were still working hard. At a glance, all the people were bending over and plowing the fields.

"Facing the loess soil with their backs to the sky" perfectly describes this situation.

Bending over for a long time is actually very tiring, but when Fang Weiyan came out, he didn't see anyone slacking off.

Apart from one overseer, most of the people were essentially very hardworking.

Fang Weiyan surveyed the area, but most of the people were busy working and didn't notice Fang Weiyan approaching.

Fang Weiyan had no intention of disturbing him, but as Fang Weiyan turned to return to the city, he vaguely saw a white shadow drift past in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, the white shadow vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan was stunned. "It's that female ghost from before... This thing has been staring at me, and it still hasn't given up?"

Fang Weiyan took a breath and told the truth.

After going to Yanhuai City and returning, Fang Weiyan had actually forgotten about the matter.

To my utter surprise, I saw this female ghost here again.

He's already gone for a while, how could this guy still be watching him?

Fang Weiyan was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that the other party had marked him with some kind of mark?

When I first arrived in this world, the first thing I encountered was this female ghost. But why is she still staring at me after all this time?

Is there something special about him that makes him so attractive to others?

Fang Weiyan was puzzled, but after seeing the female ghost outside the city, Fang Weiyan hurriedly returned to the city. This thing was too terrifying.

Why have you been staring at him for so long?

Do you think his meat tastes better than others'?

"City God, I'll offer you Incense Offerings; perhaps that will be enough for you to share some of my Divine Ability?"

Fang Weiyan arrived at the City God, thinking that he had already given the other party a lot of Incense Offerings, so perhaps the other party could share some of their Law Technique Divine Ability with him?

The City God Fang Weiyan taken aback for a moment when he heard Fang Weiyan's request after his sudden visit.

"My lord, Divine Ability Law Technique and spells are cultivated after one has acquired Law Power Law Power; they cannot be bestowed upon you simply because you desire them."

The City God didn't know why Fang Weiyan suddenly said that and was so interested in this Law Technique, but he quickly explained.

"There is a female ghost outside the city who wants to harm me. Go and kill her."

Upon hearing the other party's response, Fang Weiyan immediately made a request.

With this female ghost waiting for him outside, and who knows when she might sneak in, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but worry.

"My lord, I have only recently Transformation and am far from capable of slaying the demons outside. Only if this female ghost infiltrates the city will I be able to secure victory."

Upon hearing Fang Weiyan's words, the City God immediately understood why Fang Weiyan had made that request; it turned out that he had been targeted by demons.

He's seen quite a few cases like this.

However, they shouldn't be keeping too close an eye on things.

If adults stay in the city, their safety should not be a problem.

Fang Weiyan was somewhat disappointed by the City God's response.

This City God is too weak; he doesn't seem to be able to run around catching demons even in the Transformation Stage.

"What if your strength were to reach the Spirit Platform? Would that allow you to kill that female ghost?"

As for the Dragon King, if possible, Fang Weiyan didn't want to use that favor.

It's best to handle things that you can manage yourself.

Upon hearing this, the City God God's divine throne trembled slightly. What had he just heard?

Fang Weiyan said he should enter the Spirit Platform Realm?

"My lord, entering the Spirit Platform Realm isn't so easy..."

The City God said somewhat cautiously, "How much Incense Offerings offering is needed to enter the Spirit Platform Realm?"

"I was just asking you."

Fang Weiyan, upon hearing this, replied somewhat strangely, "I was just asking a question."

When I inquired with the City God before, the Dragon King was also at the Spirit Platform Realm.

However, it is said that the Dragon King has been cultivating for over a thousand years, but he is only at the Spirit Platform Realm now. For about a hundred years in between, he was suppressed.

If you do the math, it must have taken him over two years to cultivate to the Spirit Platform Realm.

Thinking about it, cultivation does seem to be quite difficult.

Upon hearing Fang Weiyan's words, the City God was momentarily stunned. He had thought the lord had a way to allow him to directly enter the Spirit Platform Realm...

"If one were at the Spirit Platform Realm, then naturally they could easily kill that female ghost."

Okay, I understand.

Upon hearing the City God God's words, Fang Weiyan immediately replied.

After leaving, Fang Weiyan thought about it and felt that although the female ghost's stare was unsettling.

However, for the time being, the female ghost doesn't seem to be that dangerous, since he's currently just staying in the city and developing his business.

He basically doesn't leave the city, and besides, he's blessed with good fortune, so it seems he won't be in any danger in the short term.

If we wait a little longer and replenish the City God with Incense Offerings, there's still a chance to raise the City God's strength to the Spirit Platform Realm in a short period of time.

With that thought in mind, Fang Weiyan returned to the yamen and continued to organize the next steps of the plan.

The academy in the city has opened, and some senior scholars will start teaching. Also, you can bring some medical books with you.

At the very least, let the doctors here know about the basic hygiene and safety issues, as well as some basic pathology.

After recording these events, Fang Weiyan returned to Earth.

He was running low on money and planned to go back and use the luck of the koi fish to get some more.

I originally thought that having several million in hand would last a long time, but I never expected it to be almost gone so quickly.

Earth.

After returning to the Daoist temple, Fang Weiyan first replenished the incense and candles.

Recently, there have been many more people coming to burn incense. Every time Fang Weiyan comes back, he can see that the incense burner is full of incense sticks.

To prevent the stove from being easily filled with sticks, Fang Weiyan specially replaced it with a larger one.

Standing in the main hall now, you can smell the full aroma of burning incense.

The wishing well has filled with even more coins.

Fang Weiyan changed his clothes, tidied his hair slightly, and then turned to go down the mountain.

Back in Pingshui City, Fang Weiyan always wore a wig, too lazy to even cut his own hair.

To avoid future trouble, Fang Weiyan decided not to cut her hair and keep it long so she wouldn't have to wear a wig anymore.

Fang Weiyan had reached the halfway point of the mountain when he decided to buy some rough stones to see if he could make some money.

Buying lottery tickets isn't a long-term solution, and if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like that much money is involved.

For his current expenses, the money he spends on lottery tickets is indeed a bit insufficient.

However, when Fang Weiyan arrived halfway up the mountain, Su Qingyun Fang Weiyan a message.

She was asking Fang Weiyan when he would be available, as she wanted to prepare a contract for Fang Weiyan to sign.

The main issue is related to shareholding.

After all, it seems that the company that makes this drug is likely to grow very large in the future, and having the contracts signed will make things easier.

Upon seeing the message, Fang Weiyan immediately agreed. He happened to have the time now and could get it done.

After agreeing on a time with Su Qingyun, Fang Weiyan checked flight schedules again.

This time, Su Qingyun doesn't need to come to him; Fang Weiyan can just fly over there himself.

Soon after descending the mountain, Fang Weiyan hailed a taxi and headed straight to the airport; he had already booked a flight to Wenhai City.

A little over an hour later, the plane landed safely in Wenhai City.

To Fang Weiyan's surprise, Su Qingyun personally came to the airport to pick him up.

"How are you? Are you hungry? Shall I take you to get something to eat?"

When Su Qingyun saw Fang Weiyan, her eyes curved into crescents, filled with joy.

It's already October, but Su Qingyun is still dressed very lightly, in a short skirt and sheer stockings.

From some distance, you can't tell she's wearing stockings.

At first glance, she looks like a junior schoolmate.

"I just had the airplane meal, so I'm not hungry yet. When can we sign the contract?"

Fang Weiyan followed the other person toward the car, asking questions as he went.

"So eager to sign the contract? Afraid I'll rip you off?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyun looked at Fang Weiyan with some anger.

"Nothing's wrong, I've just been quite busy lately..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan quickly explained that he didn't think Su Qingyun would try to trick him in such a situation.

After all, the other party had asked to borrow so much money from him right away.

However, if Su Qingyun really wanted to trick him, he wouldn't mind being tricked once; it would be like repaying a favor.

Su Qingyun glanced at Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan several times, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she stopped dwelling on the matter.

"You're still staying at the Daoist temple, where would you find so much to do?"

Su Qingyun was a little confused. Fang Weiyan wasn't even at work, so why did he have so many things to do?

"The medicinal herbs I gave you before, I cultivated them in secret. Cultivating these herbs is extremely laborious, so of course I've been quite busy."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan immediately brought up the topic of medicinal herbs.

Su Qingyun was taken aback. Yes, the medicine Fang Weiyan gave her was extremely potent.

Meanwhile, Old Zhan is already using his makeshift equipment to prepare for the next phase of drug production.

According to Old Zhan's idea, some components in the medicine could be extracted and used to treat certain diseases.

"Speaking of which, I really don't know how you cultivated this medicine. No harmful ingredients were detected in it. Also, how much of this medicine is there? If not much, the pharmaceutical company will need to dilute it before processing it."

"This medicine needs to be diluted anyway, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan instinctively replied, "This medicinal herb is too potent. It would be such a waste to use it directly without diluting it."

"I can't tell you how this drug is cultivated right now, mainly because the process is too complicated."

The origin of the medicinal herbs must be kept secret; I really can't say anything about it.

Su Qingyun didn't pay much attention to it; she had only asked casually.

With such potent medicinal properties, Fang Weiyan; it's understandable that he wouldn't reveal such a closely guarded secret.

"The medicine definitely needs to be diluted, but it depends on the degree of dilution and the production capacity of this medicine on your end."

Su Qingyun didn't continue the topic of how Fang Weiyan cultivated the medicine, but instead inquired about Fang Weiyan's supply volume.

This is still very important.

Fang Weiyan was stumped when he heard the question.

That being said, he hasn't actually reached an agreement with Divine Farmer Valley on this matter yet.

"Regarding this question, I'll take a look when I get back and then get back to you."

Su Qingyun nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Alright, there's no rush for now, after all, it hasn't even started yet."

As they spoke, the two got into Su Qingyun's car together. Su Qingyun took out the contract from the side and handed it to Fang Weiyan, then got into the driver's seat herself.

After fastening his seatbelt, Fang Weiyan began signing his name.

Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment when she saw this. "You signed it without even reading it? Aren't you afraid I'll cheat you!"

"What does it matter? You can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan replied matter-of-factly that the contract was full of intricacies and that even if Fang Weiyan were to examine it carefully, he would not understand it at all.

Furthermore, given Fang Weiyan's trust in Su Qingyun, he naturally felt there was no need to examine her so closely.

Su Qingyun was secretly delighted to hear this, but she couldn't help but mutter, "If you keep doing this, you'll be easily fooled in the future. Luckily, you ran into me."

Fang Weiyan smiled upon hearing this, and without saying much, wrote his name on each of the places on the contract that required his signature.

Next, Fang Weiyan began to look up places to buy rough jade in this area.

He'll go buy a few Shitou later to see if he can sell them for some money, otherwise he'll soon run out of money.

Fang Weiyan himself never imagined that he, a recent college graduate who had only been in the workforce for a short time, would start to think that a few million was a small amount of money and that he wouldn't be able to keep up with his spending.

Fang Weiyan quickly located the position.

In the afternoon, Su Qingyun had to leave, Fang Weiyan went to the place where they bought gambling stones.

It's only 5 p. m., there's still plenty of time.

When Fang Weiyan arrived, he immediately saw that many people had laid out Shitou on the ground, some scattered like small stalls.

The people here were all holding flashlights and Shitou, carefully observing the scene.

Fang Weiyan walked forward while looking left and right at the Shitou on either side.

For some reason, Fang Weiyan just felt a bit of aversion to these roadside Shitou, as if he had an innate dislike for Shitou.

"Is it luck at work? There's no jade in these Shitou, which is why I feel disgusted looking at them?"

Fang Weiyan looked at the Shitou, pondering what was causing his feeling.

He had seen countless Shitou, but here he felt a sense of aversion.

Fang Weiyan pondered for a moment and felt that it was probably luck that was at play.

Fang Weiyan was displeased because there were no good stones around.

This is somewhat similar to the last time I bought scratch-off lottery tickets.

The last time Fang Weiyan bought scratch-off lottery tickets, he always picked the ones that looked the best to him.

Those scratch-off tickets that looked more appealing all turned out to be winning prizes.

"Hmm, this one looks kind of pleasing to the eye."

Fang Weiyan suddenly paused slightly. Among the many stalls, he saw a Shitou that looked somewhat pleasing to the eye.

However, it was only slightly more pleasing to the eye.

Fang Weiyan estimated that there wouldn't be any particularly good material to be found here.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan looked around and suddenly saw a shop next to him. The shop was quite large and filled with all kinds of Shitou.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan immediately went inside.

The Shitou here are quite different from those outside. When Fang Weiyan looked at them, he found many of Shitou quite pleasing to the eye.

However, the Shitou here are much more expensive than those outside. Outside, a single stone costs three or four thousand yuan, while some Shitou here are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

There were many people inside, all holding flashlights and constantly looking around.

Fang Weiyan casually picked up Shitou that caught his eye and asked, "Boss, how much is this Shitou?"

"It's already written next to it, this piece is worth 300,000."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Fang Weiyan noticed that there was already a price tag next to the Shitou.

Upon hearing the price, Fang Weiyan immediately felt that this Shitou was not to his liking.

The level of goodwill in his eyes seemed to be decreasing at a visible rate.

"You can do that...?"

Sensing this change, Fang Weiyan then put the Shitou back.

There's probably something good in here, but the price is too high; I won't make much money.

Fang Weiyan then looked at the other Shitou and soon noticed a half-human-sized body nearby, with people occasionally approaching to take a look.

Fang Weiyan found this Shitou very pleasing to the eye, and even after glancing at Shitou price tag, Fang Weiyan still found Shitou very agreeable.

"Nice one..."

Fang Weiyan was secretly pleased. He decided to buy the Shitou, which cost 580,000 yuan, and give it a try.

Fang Weiyan calmed himself down and bought the Shitou directly. Then he bought several other Shitou that he liked.

Those who witnessed this scene were stunned. Good heavens, this person wasn't holding anything in his hands, and he didn't seem to care much about the Shitou.

They bought things so casually, spending so lavishly. Are they just here for fun?

"Young man, are you here to have some fun?"

A middle-aged man standing nearby watched Fang Weiyan pay the bill so readily and couldn't help but ask a question.

Fang Weiyan nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, I heard that gambling on jade stones here is quite fun, so I thought I'd come and buy a few to cut open and take a look."

Seeing that others had misunderstood, Fang Weiyan simply admitted it.

But then again, he was basically just playing around; he was basically there to make some money.

The main reason is that I'm almost out of money.

Fortunately, I still had about a million left, otherwise I wouldn't have had the money to buy this Shitou.

After paying the bill, Fang Weiyan immediately cut the Shitou open on the spot.

If we find something good, we can just sell it and cash it out.
