The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 873: The True Burning Man Valley

Although he felt some resistance internally, Li Qing felt that the time for seclusion could indeed be scheduled now.

If things continued this way, he felt that if he did not enter the Foundation Establishment stage soon, he would inevitably be despised to death.

However, this matter could not be too rushed; it would be best to wait until the village’s affairs were nearly settled.

Especially in Burning Man Valley.

Places with no risks could be handled by them; at worst, it would just cause some chaotic scrambling, but it wouldn’t cause trouble.

But Burning Man Valley was not just about organizing tourists anymore, everyone needed to prevent accidental entries.

After a brief interaction with Jing Yan, he did some morning exercises, and Li Qing walked out of the room, looking spirited.

In bed, Jing Yan was sorting out her bellyband that Li Qing had crumpled into major wrinkles, her cheeks flushing red, and her smooth legs intermittently visible under the blanket.

Under the porch at the door, an orange cat was lazily basking in the sun.

Even though this fellow was an old demon that had become a spirit over a thousand years, its habits were no different from those of an ordinary cat.

When Li Qing stepped out, the orange cat lazily lifted its head to glance at him, then laid its head back on its paws and continued to sleep soundly.

Li Qing stretched lazily, twisted his somewhat stiff neck, and checked the firmness of his own arm.

He had already persisted in running Grand Circulation, but his skin had still not undergone any transformation; it still hurt when pinched.

This cultivation technique was not only hard to practice, but it also seemed not so easy to show effects.

Muttering with some melancholy, Li Qing took out his phone and called Dian Chunqiu to discuss the situation in Burning Man Valley.

Suddenly, Burning Man Valley had changed in this way, and now the Ninth Bureau must intervene.

If the Ninth Bureau did not intervene, it would indeed soon cause offenses.

Brother Hu and a few others were unclear, and Li Qing could not figure out what the rules of Burning Man Valley really were.

Moreover, no one could be sure whether there was only one rule in that place or several.

"A forbidden ground has appeared?" Dian Chunqiu’s tone suddenly rose a lot after hearing Li Qing’s description.

"Qingzi, immediately collaborate with the local authorities to turn it into a restricted area, prohibiting anyone from entering! Just right, the personnel I’ve arranged for you will also be in place soon, so you don’t have to complain about me treating you like a donkey all the time. Now, this city is your territory; you need to take these matters seriously and not always require this Director to stand in for you."

"Director, the way you put it sounds somewhat unpleasant. How has it become about you standing in for me?" Li Qing retorted with a pout.

"I have to deal with everything for you; isn’t that standing in? It’s as if I am the one responsible for Ebei City. The pace of the Spiritual Qi Resurgence is very fast. I really must remind you, you will be busy in the coming days," Dian Chunqiu criticized with some disdain, then suddenly became serious.

"Places like this forbidden area you just described are definitely going to appear extensively, especially in places with previous rumors and special terrain. You need to figure it out quickly and act early."

Li Qing nodded wearily, "Understood."

He had just been thinking about secluding himself for cultivation as early as possible, but with this, what seclusion could he even consider?

"Don’t seem so impatient. You spoke so nicely when you joined initially; now, you need to exert that much effort. Rights and responsibilities are always proportional," Dian Chunqiu said.

"What I mean is, I’m worried that my strength is not enough to handle these matters," Li Qing spoke solemnly, "But when did I ever speak nicely when I joined? I seem to have joined while like I was dizzy from drinking too much."

"Ah? Really? Oh, I might have remembered it wrong," Dian Chunqiu laughed off with a chuckle, "In any case, the capable take on more work. With those newly emerged Forbidden Grounds, your strength is absolutely sufficient. The personnel I arranged will be in place in about two or three days. By then you’ll be a man with troops; strive well."

"...Okay," Li Qing replied listlessly.

Rights and such, he hadn’t seen yet, but his responsibilities had certainly become heavy.

When he had just joined, he was constantly catching spiteful beasts and chasing mountain ghosts and wandering spirits; he had roamed through most of the city.

Now that the Spiritual Qi had resurged, it was clear that he was going to be even busier.

Li Qing thought about the affairs of the village and then his own cultivation, really wishing he could grow three heads and six arms immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qing called Director Jia and discussed the matters of Burning Man Valley with him.

The Forbidden Grounds needed to become actual forbidden grounds.

Director Jia seemed to have already understood some related matters; on hearing Li Qing mention that the Burning Man Valley had become Forbidden Grounds, Li Qing could feel his nervousness and panic over the phone; he agreed to Li Qing’s request without further ado, saying he would contact the construction team immediately.

After hanging up Director Jia’s phone, Li Qing pocketed his cellphone and strolled to his house.

The soft decorating was already at the final step; more people meant more power, and more money naturally increased efficiency.

Next, only the details needed to be sorted out, air the place out, and then he could clean and prepare to move in.

Li Qing’s house finally started to look proper after over a month’s work.

He gave the workers a round of cigarettes, chatted for a bit, then strolled to the entrance of the village.

He was about to check on Brother Hu and the others when he received a call from Xuan Chen Zhenren.

"Master."

"You rascal, where are you?" Xuan Chen Zhenren asked. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He didn’t know what he was messing with, but the wind in the phone was as loud as thunder.

"At the village entrance," Li Qing replied.

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly three figures appeared beside him.

It wasn’t just his master Xuan Chen Zhenren who had arrived; beside him were Hong Fang Zhenren and Zi Ling.

Zi Ling gave Li Qing a sweet, secret smile and quickly pressed her lips together, putting on a serious face.

Seeing this, Li Qing smiled softly; the little girl was still shy.

"The forbidden area you mentioned, where is it? Take us to see," Xuan Chen Zhenren said straightforwardly.

The little old man still looked sloppy, dressed as though he was an ancient farmer.

In the midst of winter, he even had his ankles exposed, rolling up his pant legs to mid-calf.

"It’s up ahead," Li Qing said. "Leaving the village to the south, it’s about two or three li from here."

"Let’s go, we’ll take a look; you lead the way," Xuan Chen Zhenren grabbed Li Qing’s arm and strode forward.

Li Qing only saw a blur before him, as the surrounding houses suddenly started retreating rapidly.

After a brief direction from him, the group quickly arrived at Burning Man Valley.

It was almost an instant, Li Qing had just taken two breaths and uttered two short words, and they had already reached the location.

"Such a dense aura of wrongful spirits here; what was the history before?" Xuan Chen Zhenren asked after observing a bit.

"They really burned people here," Li Qing replied. "Didn’t I tell you before?"
