I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm
Chapter 543 - 303: Renting Spirit Island_2
"Each Spirit Island’s spirit vein differs, resulting in varying yields of Spiritual Objects and Spirit Plants, with area prices that are within this rental range."
"Elder, may I know what type of Spirit Island you wish to lease and for how many years? I can recommend suitable islands based on your needs. If your Spirit Stones are insufficient, we can also arrange a shared lease with other cultivators," Ji Hanyan introduced in detail, looking at Li Mu with concern.
Li Mu’s heart was slightly moved. For him, this rental price was indeed not expensive. With a high-tier spirit vein, it met the needs for planting Tier Four Spirit Plants.
Li Mu pondered briefly and confirmed, "Forget about co-leasing. The island needed doesn’t have to be too large but must have a high-tier spirit vein. Simultaneously, the number of top-grade spirit fields on the island should be more, suitable for planting spirit plants above Tier Four. Other than that, that’s about it! If there is a suitable island, I plan to rent it for thirty years first."
Upon hearing this, Ji Hanyan brightened up. This was a big deal! The Ten Thousand Islands Sect had many Spirit Islands, but there were not many cultivators with the financial means to lease an island. Generally, it was the cultivation clans that leased them. Cultivators renting by themselves, like Li Mu, were rare among Nascent Soul cultivators. If she successfully closed this island lease, she could earn considerable profits.
"Understood. Elder, please wait a moment while I check!" Ji Hanyan politely signaled Li Mu and then took out a white Jade Scroll, using her Divine Sense to browse through it.
Ji Hanyan was very efficient in her work. In less than a moment, she put away the Jade Scroll and looked at Li Mu with a smile.
"Elder, I have just checked the island records and found a suitable Spirit Island according to your requirements. This Spirit Island is located in the northeastern part of the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars and is named ’Crescent Island.’ Its area is about 120 square kilometers, with a high-tier spirit vein. Near the vein is a gently sloping terrain, perfect for cultivating a large Spirit Field. This island perfectly meets your needs."
Li Mu felt a movement in his heart upon hearing this and couldn’t help but ask, "What about the number of top-grade spirit fields on this Spirit Island?"
Ji Hanyan smiled and replied, "Crescent Island has about two thousand acres of top-grade spirit fields, distributed in the southeastern part of the island. Additionally, there are many middle-grade spirit fields on the island, totaling over a thousand acres. Such an abundant number of spirit fields is quite rare on general Spirit Islands. If needed, more spirit fields can be opened up."
The more Li Mu listened, the more moved he became, and he asked with concern, "Then what is the rental price of this Spirit Island?"
"Crescent Island is slightly smaller compared to Thousand Leaf Island. However, it has a high-tier spirit vein and the surrounding sea areas are abundant with high-tier spirit plants and aquatic Spiritual Objects. For example: Tier Four Cold Moon Spirit Grass, Tier Three Jade Dew Spirit Pearls, ... If managed well, the annual income could offset most of the rental cost, ...," Ji Hanyan introduced enthusiastically.
"Alright, you don’t need to introduce further. Just tell me the rental price and how to pay it," Li Mu interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"Alright, Elder, the annual rent for Crescent Island is 2.5 million middle-grade Spirit Stones. If you choose to lease for thirty years, the rent can be discounted to 10%, which is 2.25 million middle-grade Spirit Stones per year, with one year’s rent as a deposit and rent payment every three years," Ji Hanyan quickly responded, with a very respectful attitude.
"Can you take me to see it?" Li Mu proposed.
"Of course! The island is a thousand miles away from Thousand Moon Island. Let’s take a Spiritual Ship there!" Ji Hanyan nodded happily, gesturing with a welcoming invitation.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Hanyan released a Tier Three Medium-sized Spiritual Ship from her Storage Bracelet. The ship looked magnificent, with a streamlined design similar to a Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, allowing it to sail faster and more steadily in the air.
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, stepped onto the ship with Xue’Er, and Ji Hanyan followed behind them, steering the ship.
Under Ji Hanyan’s control, the Spiritual Ship sailed swiftly towards Crescent Island.
During the voyage, Li Mu and Ji Hanyan chatted about various details of Crescent Island.
"Elder, the high-tier spirit vein on Crescent Island is extremely rare, providing ample Spiritual Qi for the Spirit Plants. The island’s spirit fields are also top-grade, perfect for growing various rare spirit plants."
"If you’re interested, I can also introduce some suitable Spirit Plant Seeds. Crescent Island’s environment is most suitable for the growth of Jade Dew Spirit Flowers, ... Additionally, near Crescent Island, a subaqueous spirit plant named ’Coral Jade’ is abundant, which is very beneficial for water-attribute cultivators and serves as the main ingredient for refining Fuyuan Pills and Water Condensing Pills, ...," Knowing Li Mu is a Spirit Plant Master, Ji Hanyan catered to his interest, introducing things non-stop.
Ji Hanyan’s crisp and melodious voice drifted in the sea breeze, and Li Mu didn’t dislike it. Instead, he paid attention to the special spirit plants in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars region. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Through Ji Hanyan’s explanation, Li Mu learned the characteristics of the majority of the region’s spirit plants. Due to its proximity to the sea realm, most of the spirit plants produced are water-elemental. Among them, there are many special spirit plants growing in the subaqueous spiritual land. As for other attribute spirit plants, their tiers are not very high.
"Elder, look, that’s Crescent Island! The spirit plants and spirit fields on the island are managed by dozens of Inner Sect Disciples from our Sect. If you lease it, arrangements will be made for them to evacuate immediately!"
Two moments later, the speeding Spiritual Ship arrived above an island, Ji Hanyan quickly pointed out to Li Mu.
Li Mu had already ’seen’ it, and his Divine Sense had eagerly swept over Crescent Island several times. As the name suggests, the island’s shape resembled a crescent moon, with the main spirit vein situated at the center of the island, lush with forests, filled with overwhelming Spiritual Qi. There was a crescent-shaped coastline with fine sand and clear blue seawater. This kind of natural beauty was rarely seen on a typical Spirit Island. If necessary, a considerable amount of spirit field could still be developed.
As he listened, Li Mu grew more intrigued and asked, "And what about the rent for the spirit island?"
"Crescent Island is slightly smaller than Thousand Leaf Island, but it has a high-tier spirit vein on it and the surrounding sea produces many high-tier spirit plants and spiritual objects. If managed well, the annual revenue can offset a large part of the lease cost, ... " Ji Hanyan explained enthusiastically.
"Alright, no need to go into details. Just tell me how much the rent is and how to pay, that’s all," Li Mu interrupted her, waving his hand.
"Alright, elder, the annual rent for this Crescent Island is two million and five hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones. If you choose to lease it for thirty years, the rent can be reduced by 10%, which amounts to two million and two hundred and fifty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones per year. You’ll need to pay a deposit of one year’s rent and then pay the rent every three years," Ji Hanyan responded promptly and respectfully.
"Hmm! Can you take me to see it?" Li Mu suggested.
"Of course! The island is a thousand miles away from Thousand Moon Island. Let’s take the Spiritual Ship there!" Ji Hanyan cheerfully nodded and gestured with an inviting motion.
Upon finishing her words, Ji Hanyan released a Tier Three Medium-sized Spiritual Ship from her Storage Bracelet. The ship had a beautiful appearance with a streamlined design similar to a Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, allowing it to navigate faster and more smoothly across the sky.
Li Mu nodded with pleasure, taking Xue’Er with him, and stepped onto the Spiritual Ship, with Ji Hanyan closely following behind, steering the ship.
Under Ji Hanyan’s control, the ship sailed swiftly towards Crescent Island using Wind Control.
During the journey, Li Mu and Ji Hanyan conversed about various details of Crescent Island.
"Elder, Crescent Island’s high-tier Spirit Vein is extremely rare, able to provide ample Spiritual Qi for the Spirit Plants on the island. The spirit fields on the island are also large in number, suitable for cultivating high-tier spirit plants."
"If you’re interested, I can also introduce you to some of the special spirit plants. Crescent Island’s environment is perfect for growing the Jade Dew Spirit Flower, ..., and the surrounding sea is abundant with high-tier spirit plants and sea-born Spiritual Objects, like the Tier Four Cold Moon Spirit Grass, Tier Three Jade Dew Spirit Pearls,.... If managed well, the annual yields could offset most of the leasing costs, ... ." Playing to Li Mu’s interests as a Spirit Plant Master, Ji Hanyan enthusiastically elaborated.
Listening to Ji Hanyan’s detailed introduction, Li Mu couldn’t help but be tempted and asked with concern, "How many top-grade spirit fields are on this Spirit Island?"
Ji Hanyan responded with a smile, "The number of top-grade spirit fields on Crescent Island is about 2,000 acres, distributed in the southeast area of the island. Additionally, there are quite a few middle-grade spirit fields on the island, totaling over a thousand acres. Such a rich number of spirit fields is hard to find on an ordinary Spirit Island, and more spirit fields can be reclaimed if needed."
As Li Mu listened, he became increasingly interested and asked with concern, "Then what is the rent fee for this Spirit Island?"
"Crescent Island’s area is slightly smaller compared to Thousand Leaf Island. However, the island has a high-tier spirit vein, and the surrounding sea is abundant in high-tier spirit plants, aquatic Spiritual Objects, such as Tier Four Cold Moon Spirit Grass and Tier Three Jade Dew Spirit Pearl. If managed properly, the annual proceeds would offset most of the rental costs, ..." Ji Hanyan eagerly explained.
"Alright, there’s no need for further details. Just tell me how much the rent is and how it can be paid." Li Mu gestured, interrupting her.
"Okay, Elder, the annual rent for this Crescent Island is 2.5 million middle-grade Spirit Stones. If you choose to lease it for thirty years, the rent can be discounted to two million two hundred and fifty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones per year, with a one-year deposit required and rent payable every three years," Ji Hanyan quickly explained, her attitude very respectful.
"Hmm! Can you take me to see the island?" Li Mu suggested.
"Of course! The island is a thousand miles away from Thousand Moon Island. Let’s take the Spiritual Ship to get there!" Ji Hanyan nodded enthusiastically, gesturing with an inviting hand.
As she finished speaking, Ji Hanyan released a Tier Three Medium-sized Spiritual Ship from her Storage Bracelet. The ship’s exterior was elegant, with a streamlined design similar to the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, allowing it to travel faster and more steadily in the air.
Li Mu nodded happily, took Xue’Er and stepped onto the Spiritual Ship, with Ji Hanyan following closely behind to navigate the ship.
Under Ji Hanyan’s control, the Spiritual Ship rode the wind at high speed toward Crescent Island.
During the voyage, Li Mu and Ji Hanyan conversed about various details concerning Crescent Island.
"Elder, the high-tier spirit vein on Crescent Island is incredibly scarce. It can provide ample Spiritual Qi for the spirit plants. The island’s spirit fields are also abundant, ideal for cultivating high-tier spirit plants."
"If you are interested, I can also introduce you to some suitable Spirit Plant Seeds. The area around Crescent Island is favorable for the growth of Jade Dew Spirit Flowers, ..., and the vicinity of Crescent Island is rich in high-tier Spirit Plants, such as Tier Four Purple Sun Reishi, Tier Three Jade Dew Spirit Pearls, ... If managed well, the annual yield can offset most of the lease costs...." Ji Hanyan, having learned that Li Mu is a Spirit Plant Master, catered to his interests and spoke at length.
Through Ji Hanyan’s detailed introduction, Li Mu became increasingly invested and couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Li, would you like to lease this place?"
With her eyes shining, Xue’Er eagerly looked around Crescent Island.
"Yes, I’ll rent this island. However, I hope we can settle on the rental payment terms right now and sign the Lease Agreement," Li Mu replied, smiling to Ji Hanyan.
"I understand, Elder Li. Let’s complete the formalities now, so you can officially lease Crescent Island," Ji Hanyan nodded quickly, eager to finalize the agreement.
