Immortality cultivation starts from Dongxuan Lake

Chapter 7 The Old Liar

"Hey... I'm telling you, Mr. Lu, don't use provoking methods, I do understand this spiritual insect." He said proudly and took out an ancient book at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming vaguely seemed to see the characters "One Hundred Solutions to Spiritual Insects".

Lu Ming turned his attention to Old Man Su without much thought, only to find that the other person had already opened "One Hundred Solutions to Spiritual Insects".

Old Man Su opened the page, pointed to the pattern on it and said, "Did you see it? The Fire Spirit Earthworm is a very strange existence. It looks like an earthworm and has fire-attribute aura in its body. It gathers near the lake all year round and is rich in fire-attributes." in the soil."

"The spirit fish in the lake are particularly fond of this kind of spirit insect because they have never seen it before, and it is worth a lot of money." After saying this, he put the book away.

Looking at the somewhat proud Old Man Su, Lu Ming thought of the page he had just seen. His eyes softened and he said respectfully: "Old Man Su, no...it's Uncle Su. You also watched me grow up. This book... …Could it be that you brought it from Xuling Mountain?”

Hearing Lu Ming's disgusting address, old man Su suddenly had black lines on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he waved his hands, "I can't afford you."

"But do you want the book?"

Lu Ming was stunned when he heard this. Is it so direct? Although he was suspicious, he still said: "Of course I want it."

"Okay, seeing as how sincere you are, I'll give you twenty spiritual stones."

"Twenty spirit stones!" Lu Ming shouted in surprise.

"What? It's too expensive...then ten." Old Man Su hesitated and said.

"No." Lu Ming spread his hands and said, "This year's spiritual rice has not been sold yet. Where did I get the spiritual stone?"

"Besides, is this book worth ten spiritual stones?"

Hearing the suspicious words in Lu Ming's mouth, Old Man Su suddenly became unhappy. He glared at him and said, "I tell you, this is a book from Xuling Mountain. It is a good thing that no one else can buy no matter how much money they spend. You Just being able to meet him is already a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes."

Looking at the serious old man in front of me, I felt a little greedy for the book. Even if the book from Xuling Mountain is not great, it is not bad at all.

But he really didn't have ten spirit stones.

"Even so, I don't have ten spiritual stones in my hand. These spiritual stones are enough to rent and plant more than ten acres of spiritual land." Lu Ming said with a wry smile.

Old Man Su sighed, seeming a little helpless, waving his hands and saying: "Forget it, I have watched you grow up, so I will sell it to you cheaper, five spiritual stones."

"Five yuan?" Lu Ming was slightly startled. The price was a bit too low. I secretly murmured in my heart, "Is this old man trying to go to Hongxiu Zhai because he is short of money, so that's why it's so cheap?"

Old man Su curled his lips and said, "Why, no? Then I'll find someone else."

Lu Ming said hurriedly: "If you want it, how can you not want it? Five yuan is five yuan!"

"But I don't have spiritual stones in my hand. How about using five hundred kilograms of spiritual rice in exchange?"

"Five hundred kilograms of spiritual rice, okay." Old man Su agreed happily.

"Wait a minute, take out your book and let me see it first. It must not be a book from Xuling Mountain." Seeing that he agreed so quickly, Lu Ming looked at Old Man Su suspiciously.

"Can I lie to you, here..."

Old man Su said something and handed the simple "Hundred Solutions to Spiritual Insects" from his arms to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming took the book and started reading it. He turned directly to the last page and started reading. His face gradually became serious. When he finished reading the last word, he breathed a sigh of relief and closed the pages with satisfaction.

"This last secret technique doesn't seem to be fake."

"Of course not, but this secret technique is of no use. Feeding spiritual blood to spiritual insects is too wasteful. The spiritual blood fed is more valuable than the spiritual insects, and there is no difference compared to the spiritual insects caught in the wild. The key is the introduction to identifying spiritual insects in this book." Old Man Su said with a dull look on his face.

Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled secretly but did not show it on his face. He said to Old Man Su: "Since this book is indeed true, then come with me to the fields to cut spiritual rice."

"Okay, let's go."

Old man Su followed Lu Ming to the lake.

Looking at the golden rice and the overgrown spiritual field, he could only shake his head regretfully. It was not safe outside before and he didn't come to weed. This year's spiritual rice production may be reduced.

After that, he gathered his spiritual energy and performed the Xiao Geng Golden Sword Technique, which was a low-level swordsmanship that was more than enough for harvesting water rice.

Brush brush!

In just the blink of an eye, ten acres of spiritual rice were harvested. Lu Ming claimed that he had harvested a total of 900 kilograms of spiritual rice. With some reluctance, he handed over kilograms of spiritual rice to Old Man Su, and took the rest home himself. There was no need to sell the spiritual rice if he could draw low-grade talismans.

You can only sell four spiritual stones in the market, and for just these ten acres of land, you have to pay the rent of seven spiritual stones every year, so the harvest is really not much.

Old man Su was a little anxious before, but after harvesting the spiritual rice, he grinned and showed his yellow teeth: "Brother Lu, I won't disturb you anymore, let's go first."

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Ming's reply, he put five hundred kilograms of spiritual rice into a storage bag and ran out quickly.

Walking like flying, Lu Ming looked like an old man who was almost seventy years old. Lu Ming wanted to call out to old man Su, but it was already too late. He had already disappeared. He shook his head helplessly.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

As Old Man Su left, Lu Ming packed up his spiritual rice and looked towards the lake. The microwaves rippling by the lake today and the gentle breeze blowing the willows by the lake made people feel relaxed and happy.

The autumn water of Dongxuan Lake has the same color as the sky, and the vast expanse of blue waves are reflected on the mirror-like lake surface, which is beautiful.

When he calmed down and saw that it was getting late, he returned to the alley. When he was approaching the door, he heard Tian's sister-in-law's broken gong voice: "Oh! This black-hearted person who has been killed a thousand times dared to deceive our little one." Sang’s spiritual stone is eight pieces in total.”

The Tian family's sister-in-law's sharp voice echoed throughout the street, making people laugh, and the Tian family's sister-in-law's words made everyone talk.

Lu Ming shook his head when he heard this voice from a distance. He often heard the Tian family's sister-in-law's voice, and she would raise her voice whenever something big or small happened in the alley.

He was a little bored at the beginning of the time travel, but now he is used to it, but when he got here, he found the Tian family's sister-in-law howling next to his house.

No, not at his house, but at Old Man Su’s house next door.

And there were not only Tian family sisters-in-law around, but also several elderly people from Lingmi Lane.

When Lu Ming saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he rushed forward to ask.

"Oh, it's Lu Ming. Let me tell you, this old man Su is really evil-hearted. He used broken insects to seduce everyone in Lingmi Lane, and then sold a broken book, saying that it was brought from Xuling Mountain."

"He is also an old man in the alley. Don't you believe this action? He has deceived many people." The speaker was a pale young monk, his words were full of regret, and his eyes were a little gloating.

Hearing the young monk's words, Lu Ming's face turned ugly, and he immediately took out the book "Hundred Solutions to Spiritual Insects" from his arms.

The pale young monk next to him stretched his head to look at the book in Lu Ming's hand and said in surprise: "Lu Ming, you were also deceived by Old Man Su. That's right. He lives next to your house."

"Is this book fake?" Lu Ming asked with an ugly face.

The young monk said casually: "I don't know, but he has sold several copies of this book in the alley. You see, even a cautious person like the Tian family sister-in-law was defrauded of eight spiritual stones. It is probably not worth many spiritual stones." "

"In short, this old man Su is absolutely heartless..."

When Lu Ming heard these words, he felt his heart tremble. He held the book tightly in his hands and his head suddenly buzzed.

He knew that there were not only robbery cultivators in the world of immortality, but also liars, but he never thought that he would make the same mistake.

No wonder he saw old man Su running so fast just now, why the book with twenty spiritual stones only wanted five spiritual stones from him, all to arouse his greed.

The people who were watching also heard the conversation between the two, and they felt sorry for each other. After pushing and shoving, Lu Ming and a group of people who had been deceived surrounded the old man Su's house, and everyone complained to each other in a few words.

"This old man Su defrauded my little Sang of eight spiritual stones." At this time, the Tian family's sister-in-law shouted at the top of her lungs.

Before, Lu Ming disliked her loud voice, but now he wished he could be louder.

"He defrauded me of thirteen spiritual stones, which I will pay rent to Gongsun's family next year, this liar." It was Wang Laoer who gritted his teeth.

"I lost ten spiritual stones. At first, I was told to keep it a secret and not let me tell anyone." The person who spoke was a fat man. His face turned blue at this time, and he was obviously very angry.

In the end, Lu Ming also said with an angry face: "He also cheated me of a lot of spiritual stones. He even cheated me of the spiritual rice I put in the pot."

However, such complaints did not reduce the anger of the people, but instead aroused public resentment.

"Stop talking, go find this old liar Su Zhengzhong to settle the score." The Tian family's sister-in-law said angrily.

"Yes, we have all been defrauded of our money. We must ask Old Man Su to get it back, otherwise it will be hard to get rid of our anger."
