Chapter 52
Xu Muan was brewing wine in the courtyard, and there were numerous types of spiritual wine.
Xu Muan already knew that the reason why the spiritual wine brewed by Xiao Jingting had many strange effects was caused by spirit springs water from jade pendant space.
Xiao Jingting had left many water tanks filled with water from the spiritual spring, disguised as mountain springs, and Xu Muan used the spirit spring water to brew spiritual wine mixed with ordinary mountain spring water.
In Xiao Jingting’s memory, there were many novel ways of brewing wine in his previous life. Xu Muan was very interested in it, so Xiao Jingting told Xu Muan all those he knew.
Xu Muan had brewed spiritual wine several times, and finally could do it better than Xiao Jingting.
Mu Shuyu came out of the room and said, “Making wine!”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes! Jingting wants to make some higher-grade wine to sell.” Xiao Jingting planted some high-level spiritual plants in his jade space. When these plants were used to make wine, the spiritual energy was very strong.
Mu Shuyu nodded and said, “Good idea. There are many drunkards like Jinfeng in the world and there are many people who are willing to spend a lot of money for the sake of fine wine. Most of the money earned from mercenary work by Jinfeng was spent on fine wine. It saves a lot of money when he drinks homemade wine and Jinfeng said that the wine brewed at home is much better than the wine he drank outside.”
Xu Muan smiled and said “As long as second elder brother thinks it tastes good.” The profit of spiritual wine was very great and if wine sold well, it could make money much faster than farming.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Mu Shuyu asked.
“No, I’ll do it, it would be too inconvenient for you since you’re pregnant. You’d better go and have a rest,” Xu Muan said.
Mu Shuyu looked at Xu Muan, smiled helplessly and said, “Muan, I am just pregnant, not disabled. You don’t have to take care of me like this.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Alright, then you can help me wash the sweet potatoes.”
Mu Shuyu said happily “Yes!”
…………
Qiu family.
“Son! You should make good use of these two pieces of jade!” Father Qiu warned solemnly.
Qiu Li nodded and said, “Don’t worry, father, I know.” Originally, Qiu Li did not want to marry Qiu Bai to Mr. Li as a concubine. However, when Mr. Li promised two pieces of spiritual jade as a bride price, Qiu Li couldn’t help feeling excited.
Qiu Li’s cultivation hadn’t improved for a long time. Seeing the Xiao family members advance to level four one by one, Qiu Li might not show it on his face but he was very anxious.
The betrothal gifts of two pieces of spiritual jade offered by Master Li looked like life-saving straws, making Qiu Li immediately moved.
“I didn’t expect Xiao Jingting to be really so rich. It’s 1500 taels of silver and he just took it out without any difficult. In the end, he was the young master of the Xiao family. Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. He must have brought out a lot of silver from the Xiao family,” Qiu Li sourly said.
“Not necessarily. Xiao Jingting knows how to farm, and he has sold a lot of spiritual plants from his fields for good money.” Father Qiu said.
Qiu Li coldly glanced at Father Qiu, making him rub his hand and not speak anymore. Xiao Jingting knows how to farm, this was acknowledged by all people in the village, but Qiu Li stubbornly felt that everything Xiao Jingting had was due to his good family background.
Since Xiao Jingting changed his behaviors, Qiu Li felt that all his limelight was robbed by Xiao Jingting. By chance Qiu Li learned from a young master in the city about the edict issued by the Marquis’s house. Qiu Li immediately hid it and never let it slip out. He deliberately chose the day before Xiao Jinfeng’s marriage to write a report letter and sure enough, people from the Marquis Mansion came on the day of Xiao Jinfeng’s wedding.

Xiao Jingting stayed in the field, rapidly spawning plants. Xiao Jingting now drunk water from spiritual spring everyday and his strength was rising steadily.
Originally, it would have taken Xiao Jingting one day to give five mus of low-class field a boost, but now it only took him one hour.
There were very few level four plant masters in the village so when Xiao Jingting planted, there were always people watching.
Xiao Jingting planted, and Xiao Jinfeng helped Xiao Jingting take care of the field. Xu Muan was busy brewing wine and taking care of the household affairs while Mu Shuyu was busy helping Xu Muan and occasionally helping prepare some medicine to cover the smell of mature spiritual plants.
“Master Xiao, you’re amazing! By the way, Master Xiao, did you know that Qiu Li of the Qiu family has advanced to the third level, which made Father Qiu extremely happy?”
“Qiu Li’s ability is one of the best in the village, but when compared to you Master Xiao, he is much worse.”
“Yes! Master Xiao, I heard that your sister-in-law has also advanced to level four. It’s awesome! Your family are all level four Qi practitioners, it’s unique in the village.”
“…”
Xiao Jingting smiled helplessly. He was not much of a gossiper. But even though he did not gossip, many people gossiped with him and told him all the small and big things that happened in the village.
Did Qiu Li advance to the third level? It was not so surprising. Qiu Li, the ‘talent’ of the village was at the edge of second level of Qi Practice for quite some time.
Xiao Jingting squinted his eyes, it was much harder to advance to third level of Qi Practice than to advance from third level to fourth level of Qi Practice.
If there was no Xiao family, Qiu Li entering the third level of Qi Practice would be enough to make waves in the village. But with Xiao family there, Qiu Li’s achievements were nothing. In addition, Mu Shuyu entered the fourth level of Qi Practice only two days after Qiu Li’s advancement, so there were very few people who would mention Qiu Li.
Xiao Jingting was very disgusted with this Qiu Li who thought he was above everyone else and as far as he knew, Qiu Li also disliked him very much. The incident in Xiao Jinfeng’s wedding seemed to be the work of Qiu Li, which made Xiao Jingting dislike him even more.
