Chapter 569: Traitors

Chen Siyuan was almost stunned by the number.

That was one hundred thousand plants, not just ten or a few hundred, but one hundred thousand!

He began to doubt if he had heard it wrong.

If he managed to cultivate one hundred thousand Golden Immortal level spiritual items, how many immortal essence stones would that sell for?

“Senior, that’s too many! How much spiritual liquid will it take to plant so many pregnancy divine flowers?”

“Also, my family just received ten thousand acres of land; we can’t possibly plant that many pregnancy divine flowers.”

Although Chen Siyuan didn’t know how many pregnancy divine flowers could grow on one acre, he assumed it wouldn’t be many.

Generally, spiritual items have exclusivity.

For example, with water spiritual fruit, an acre can only grow about three plants; more than that won’t work.

There’s also a type of Spiritual Grapes that supposedly requires hundreds of acres for just one plant.

Hearing Chen Siyuan’s words, Li Xiaojun chuckled and said, “The land issue won’t be a problem. I’ll have someone allocate a good piece of land for you; you just need to take care of it.”

“By the way, planting pregnancy divine flowers is very difficult; generally, one in a thousand will survive. When you see a lot of pregnancy divine flowers dying, don’t panic; it’s normal,” Li Xiaojun reminded Chen Siyuan.

He was worried that if the other party did not know this, they would start to panic upon seeing many flowers die.

“One in a thousand will survive? That survival rate truly lives up to the reputation of a Golden Immortal level spiritual item,” Chen Siyuan couldn’t help but exclaim upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words.

He calculated: if one thousand materials yield one live plant, then out of one hundred thousand plants, only one hundred would survive in the end.

Indeed, such a high-level Golden Immortal spiritual item; if they all survived, wouldn’t they cause chaos?

“By the way, did you come here alone, or did your whole family come to the Jade Kun Realm?” Li Xiaojun asked Chen Siyuan.

“Senior, I came with my partner and my children to the Jade Kun Realm,” Chen Siyuan quickly replied.

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun used his divine sense and soon spotted Chen Siyuan’s family.

He recognized Chen Siyuan’s family, having met them before.

“Let’s go; I haven’t seen Chen Xuyuan and Chen Zishan in a long time,” Li Xiaojun said to Chen Siyuan with a smile.

Afterward, he waved his hand and directly brought Chen Siyuan and Ye Jian to the outside of Chen Siyuan’s cave dwelling.

Suddenly appearing outside his cave dwelling made Chen Siyuan feel awed.

“Wife, I’m back,” Chen Siyuan called into the cave.

Then he quickly respectfully said to Li Xiaojun, “Senior, please come in.”

As Chen Siyuan entered the cave, Li Xiaojun soon saw Chen Siyuan’s son and daughter.

“Elder Li, what brings you here?”

Upon seeing Li Xiaojun, Chen Siyuan’s partner and children recognized him immediately.

After a round of catching up, Chen Siyuan began to tell his family about the collaboration with Li Xiaojun to plant pregnancy divine flowers.

Upon hearing about the preciousness of pregnancy divine flowers and that Li Xiaojun was willing to give them twenty percent of the profits, the Chen family felt a bit dizzy.

Based on the price of the pregnancy divine flower being tens of millions of high-quality immortal essence stones, if they could finally get twenty percent, that would be twenty pregnancy divine flowers, yielding two hundred million high-quality immortal essence stones in profit.

“Senior, isn’t that too much?” Chen Siyuan’s partner, He Jing, said.

“Not at all. The pregnancy divine flowers need your care for one thousand years; it’s not easy to harvest them,” Li Xiaojun waved his hand dismissively.

After some catching up,

Li Xiaojun took Chen Siyuan’s close-knit family group to an area that had not been allocated to anyone yet. The concentration of spiritual energy here was very high, and the land’s spirit was much richer than in other places.

Once they arrived, Li Xiaojun immediately began to set up formations.

A few days later, Li Xiaojun had established a formation at the level of great perfection for Golden Immortals.

This formation covered an area of about ten kilometers, which is a diameter of twenty kilometers—an immense space of five hundred thousand acres.

Moreover, as soon as Li Xiaojun finished setting up the formation, it quickly began to absorb the nearby spiritual energy.

If the spiritual energy in this world did not run dry, the energy absorbed by the formation would be enough to keep it running.

Additionally, Li Xiaojun placed over a hundred innate spirit crystals in the formation’s energy core, ensuring that even without external spiritual energy supply, the energy from these innate spirit crystals could support the formation’s operation for millions of years.

After setting up the formation, Li Xiaojun raised his hand to carve runes in the air, then pointed at them.

Soon, all the runes merged into the bodies of Chen Siyuan’s close-knit family group.

“I have imprinted the formation mark on you. From now on, aside from you, no one else can enter the formation.”

After saying this, Li Xiaojun took out a storage ring and tossed it to Chen Siyuan.

“Inside are the seeds of the pregnancy divine flower and the spiritual liquid, as well as a piece detailing how to cultivate the pregnancy divine flower…”

“Thank you, senior! Don’t worry; I will make sure to plant the pregnancy divine flowers well,” Chen Siyuan assured Li Xiaojun promptly.

“Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Li Xiaojun said to Chen Siyuan before quickly teleporting away with Ye Jian.

“Dad, is this Chen family very important to you?” Ye Jian couldn’t help but ask Li Xiaojun.

“Not really; we’ve interacted a bit, and it’s a coincidence that we can meet again, so I’m willing to lend them a hand.”

Li Xiaojun explained to Ye Jian, “Planting pregnancy divine flowers is optional for me, but for Chen Siyuan’s family, it’s a tremendous benefit.”

“Think of it as me finding a bit of fun out of boredom,” Li Xiaojun added with a smile.

While they were talking, they had already returned to the previous spiritual seed market.

“Dad, wait a moment; I’ll go tidy up the front office,” Ye Jian said to Li Xiaojun.

“Go ahead,” Li Xiaojun nodded.

He already knew that Ye Jian would likely want to return to tidy up the front office, so he brought her back to the floating island.

When Ye Jian arrived at a spiritual seed shop, she didn’t ask the shop assistant anything but directly grabbed them to perform Soul Searching.

Soon, Ye Jian discovered that there was indeed something suspicious going on.

She had just sent out tens of thousands of water spiritual fruit seeds, and unexpectedly, they disappeared within a few hours, which puzzled her greatly.

So, she suspected that someone had hoarded the seeds.

Initially, she refrained from acting out mainly because Chen Siyuan was around. Now that he was gone, she naturally had to tidy up.

Through Soul Searching, she learned that in her spiritual seed shop, not a single water spiritual fruit seed had been sold.

When Chen Siyuan went to buy them, the shopkeeper had said they were sold out, which was false.

The truth was that someone above the shop had withheld the water spiritual fruit seeds to sell them at a higher price later, thus making a profit from the price difference.

“Dad, wait a moment; I’ll tidy up the front office again, and then I’ll accompany you around,” Ye Jian said, quickly stepping into a teleportation array in the market.

The reason she prioritized tidying up was that she sensed it was also Li Xiaojun’s intention.

Otherwise, her priority would certainly be to accompany her biological father around first and strengthen their bond.

Ten minutes later, Ye Jian returned to the floating island via the teleportation array.

However, she had gained a slight aura of killing intent.

Just now, she had gone to the headquarters to deal with a few traitors.
