"Zhou is a professional in pest control! Guaranteed to eliminate pests in twenty acres of spiritual land within three days."

"The price is not cheap, one spiritual stone per acre."

"Recently, we need to make a reservation for pest control. If we are late, we have to call two or three more companies."

"Every day of delay may cause much damage to the spiritual field."

Zhou Lezhi's face was full of arrogance, as if if you don't remove the pests, there will be many spiritual farmers lining up waiting to get rid of the pests.

Even when pests are overwhelming you, don’t be afraid of spiritual farmers and don’t bow your head.

"What? One spiritual stone per acre?"

"This is too expensive!"

"In the past, there were only five broken souls per acre."

"Twenty spirit stones are not a small amount, how could I possibly get them?!"

Zhou Lezhi is anxious. The price of pest control is too high and he cannot afford it.

For planting twenty acres of spiritual land, the land rent accounts for 50% of the harvest year, and spiritual rice seeds account for 20%. There are other expenses, and spiritual farmers do not earn much.

After a busy year, I can earn up to twenty spiritual stones in a good year.

If there is a bad year or a bad harvest, you will have to work in vain for a whole year and still have to build spiritual stones.

Earned spiritual stones also need to be used for cultivation, and spiritual farmers are not well-off.

"Can it be cheaper? I really can't afford so many spiritual stones."

If you leave the spiritual field alone, the harvest of the twenty acres of spiritual field will be ruined?

This is not okay!

The loss of spiritual stones is a huge amount, and we cannot afford compensation, let alone next year’s land rent and spiritual rice seed money.

As a spiritual farmer, making a living in the fields, how could he be willing to give up the spiritual rice he had worked so hard to grow?

Zhou Lezhi laughed, rolled his eyes, and smiled quickly.

"When monks are in trouble, you can go to Tianhefang Bank to borrow spiritual stones. It won't be too late to make up for it when the harvest is ready."

It wasn't until this moment that Zhou Lezhi showed his fox tail.

When he heard the words Tianhefang Bank, Zhou Lezhi turned pale.

How could he not have heard of Tianhefang, a place that eats people without spitting out their bones?

The loan shark who comes out nine times and returns thirteen times!

If you borrow twenty spiritual stones and don’t wait to pay them back, they will grow into a terrifying amount.

Even if you risk your life, you can’t borrow the spiritual stone from Tianhefang Bank!

"What should I do?"

The spiritual field cannot survive without pest control. Twenty acres of the spiritual field cannot be managed by one person...

The monks I know well are all spiritual farmers, busy with their own one-third of an acre of land, and have no time to lend a helping hand.

Just when Yang Bingzhi was distressed, Zhou Lezhi's persuasive voice sounded.

"It's the harvest season of spiritual rice soon. If we borrow too late, we won't be able to keep the spiritual rice, and we won't be able to repay the debt."

This is putting pressure on Zhou Lezhi, who is using spiritual stones to tide over the difficulties.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, when did you start the business of lending money and removing pests?"

Jia Ren heard everything they said. He walked out of the spiritual field and looked at Zhou Lezhi with a sarcastic look.

"Is this the way to get rich you want to introduce to Jia?"

Zhou Lezhi was a little stunned, not expecting to see Jia Ren in Dahuang Mountain.

"Brother Jia, have you and fellow Taoist Yang Shengwu moved to the inner city?"

"Congratulations to Brother Jia for entering the inner city."

Zhou Lezhi's eyes flickered, and he was filled with fear when he mentioned Yang Shengwu.

He can't afford to offend the monks who are in the late stage of Qi refining.

Yang Shengwu didn't dare to take Yang Shengwu's warning to heart, and his attitude towards Jia Ren was much better than before.

"Since I am a friend of Daoist Jia, the price is cheaper, how about eighteen spiritual stones?"

Zhou Lezhi is willing to give Jia Ren face and take the initiative to lower the price of pest control.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, I am willing to..."

Yang Bingzhi heard that the two of them were familiar with each other and offered two spiritual stones for free, so it was hard to refuse, lest they endanger the two fellow Taoists.

Just borrow the spiritual stone from Tianhefang. You should be able to pay it back if you grit your teeth.

"Wait!"

Just when the two were about to reach a cooperation, Jia Ren stepped in.

You have to keep silent, otherwise, Yang Bingzhi will really be tricked to death.

The price reduction made Yang Bingzhi think there was an "advantage" to be taken advantage of, and Zhou Lezhi wanted to use the relationship between the two as a breakthrough.

I know your friend well, how could I lie to you?

It is equivalent to borrowing Jia Ren’s momentum.

Just normal transactions, he won't interfere.

Based on my understanding of Zhou Lezhi, this guy has always been good at deceiving and deceiving, and the upright Yang Bingzhi is afraid that he will be deceived to death.

In the end, even the 'accomplices' will be resentful.

There is no benefit at all, just provoking enemies.

"Brother Jia, two spiritual stones for cheap are already pretty good."

“I’m not the only Taoist friend who can eliminate pests.”

Zhou Lezhi's face turned cold. No one would have a good impression of someone who ruined his financial situation.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, think about it for a day longer and don't rush to give a reply."

The dragging technique is a magical skill, and it is very appropriate to use it here.

Jia Ren ignored Zhou Lezhi and gave him a reminder.

That’s all.

He didn't want to break up with Zhou Lezhi and be hated by others.

Yang Bingzhi did not refuse. The pest problem cannot be solved in a short time, so it doesn’t matter if it is delayed for a day.

Zhou Lezhi was unhappy, but it was difficult to express himself, so he could only leave in anger.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, is there a problem?"

Yang Bingzhi is a simple and honest person, which does not mean he is stupid.

Jia Ren interrupted the transaction again and again, there must be something wrong.

"Zhou Lezhi is good at cheating and deception, and he is not a good person to eliminate insects."

"The spiritual stones at Tianhefang Bank are hot, so it's best not to borrow them."

Yang Bingzhi sighed and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The two of them didn't have a close friendship, so they rashly asked to borrow the spirit stone. Not only would they not be able to borrow it, but their relationship would also be ruined.

"By the way, I have a question."

"Are there only hornworms in the spiritual field?"

Jia Ren didn't spend much time in the spiritual field, and encountered very few other types of spiritual insects, except for the overpopulation of ground hornworms.

"There are many kinds of spiritual insects in the spiritual field, including ground dragon insects, locusts, millipedes..."

Yang Bingzhi reported the name of the spirit insect like a treasure.

I have been cultivating spiritual fields for many years, I am proficient in the Geng Golden Finger, and I have killed many spiritual insects.

In non-insect-infested years, the insects in the spiritual field will be dealt with by oneself.

"Is the annual insect plague caused by hornworms?"

Jia Ren feels there is something wrong but can't tell.

There are records about ground hornworms in the Imperial Insect Sutra. Ground hornworms do not have strong reproductive capabilities. Their only advantage is that they lay eggs hiddenly and are difficult to detect.

As long as you are not lazy in pest control, it stands to reason that there is no possibility of the hornworms spreading.

"In the past, insect pests were caused by migratory locusts, but this is the first time we have seen a plague of locusts."
