After he was sure, the spiritual energy immediately surged towards the peach tree, and it suddenly felt like the peach tree had sublimated, evolving from an ordinary peach tree to a spiritual root.

When Shi Zhongkui pretended to read the fonts on the Sky-Mending Stone carefully, hoping to absorb more spiritual energy.

The Butian Stone in his hand suddenly trembled, and he instantly understood that the meaning of the stone in his hand was 'enough is enough, if you suck yourself anymore, you will fall out'.

I was busy shouting "stop" in my mind.

The space immediately stopped absorbing spiritual energy, and then I felt that the Sky-Building Stone was slowly absorbing the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth.

Does this mean that after waiting for a period of time, the Sky Mending Stone will automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and slowly recover?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a solar power bank?

After waiting for a few seconds, Shi Zhongkui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Sky Mending Stone didn't respond. When he looked at Jia Baoyu again, his eyes were a little different.

Until your strength is not enough, it's better to be careful.

Moreover, we cannot let the scabby monk, the lame Taoist, or anyone else take away the Sky Mending Stone.

Returning the psychic jade to Jia Baoyu, Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "In a few days, when I have gained something from my heart, I will write a picture for my brother and give it to Brother Bao to appreciate it."

Jia Baoyu took Baoyu and said with a smile, "It's best to be a new poem or new words."

Shi Zhongkui thought for a while, and said with a smile like this, "No problem, but as a return gift, Brother Bao must also give me a poem or lyrics in return."

"This", although Jia Baoyu felt that he was not a fool, he also knew that he would definitely not be able to write a poem like "A letter from home is just for the field".

Shi Zhongkui laughed, "You and I make friends through poetry. What matters is our state of mind, not our status. Brother Bao, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu nodded in relief, and couldn't help but feel that Shi Zhongkui was indeed of noble character.

Jia Lian and Jia Zhen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Jia Baoyu didn't talk nonsense this time.

He hurriedly said to Shi Zhongkui, "Please stay, dear brother. My three brothers are in a hurry to go back and report. Tomorrow, I will personally take people to Daxing County Yamen to find my dear brother. Say goodbye."

Shi Zhongkui nodded with a smile and sent the three of them off.

Go back to the study, write a letter first, wait for Shun'er to come back, and then send it back to Daxing County Government Office and give it to Yu Honggao.

Then close your eyes and focus on space.

The change in the space was not big, except that the peach tree became faintly glowing.

The twenty peaches on the tree that were already bearing fruit now became noticeably more moist and shiny.

When these peaches mature, if they really become spiritual fruits, they will be of great help to your cultivation.

The next day, Shun'er hurried back to Daxing again. In the afternoon, to his surprise, Shun'er not only came back quickly, but also drove over in a carriage with Uncle Fu and several servants.

Yu Fu hurriedly saluted and said, "Master Boqian, I asked you to take the young master back to the county office immediately. You need some items and land. I have already prepared them at noon."

Shi Zhongkui did not expect that cheap teacher Yu Honggao would be so eager and ordered Shun'er to pack the return gifts that Xue Pan, Feng Ziying and Jia's family sent yesterday.

He asked Uncle Fu to sit down first, and then let others serve tea. He sat on the main seat and thought, it was already the middle of April in the lunar calendar, and many rice fields in the north had actually been planted. If it continued, it would be past the farming season.

"Master, everything is packed."

Shi Zhongkui nodded. At 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the motorcade stopped at the gate of the county government office.

When they came to the backyard, since there were no female relatives, Shi Zhongkui didn't need to avoid suspicion anywhere else as long as he didn't go to the small courtyard where Yu Honggao lived.

In the study, Yu Honggao grabbed Shi Zhongkui and said, "Boqian, what you said in your letter today is true?"

Shi Zhongkui smiled and replied, "Teacher, please don't worry. I don't say I'm 100% sure, but I'm still 70% or 80% sure."

"That's enough," Yu Honggao laughed loudly, "Yu Fu, tell the county government's head catcher and government officials to get ready to go."

Uncle Fu hurriedly agreed, and then quickly went to the front office.

The group of people arrived before dark and arrived at a farm where the Grand Canal and Tonghui River form a tributary.

Yu Honggao pointed to a large piece of farmland and said to Shi Zhongkui, "Boqian, these 50-odd farms are all at your disposal, and I have also prepared a two-story brick house for your next three homes."

A place where Yue studies.”

50 pounds equals five thousand acres. Needless to say, this must be the farm of the Duke of Tuiguo.

According to the rice price of 7 or 8 cents per kilogram, if the average yield per mu is 2,300 kilograms, after deducting the cost, farmers' rations, and the reason why grain prices will fall during the harvest season.

This farm can make a profit of 5,000 to 6,000 taels of silver a year.

Logically speaking, the government should not be short of money.

But Shi Zhongkui thought about it again and realized that he wanted to maintain the dignity of the Duke's palace, as well as the human relations between relatives and family friends.

Let alone 10,000 taels of silver per year, even 30,000 to 50,000 taels can be consumed.

That's why it happens that important people borrow money to live, and eventually their debts are paid off.

Moreover, a farm of five thousand acres was nothing in ancient times. Xu Jie, who overthrew Yan Song during the Jiajing period, returned home in his later years and his family's children had a total of 240,000 acres of fertile land.

This is what we call a real landlord.

Moreover, this old gentleman had the misfortune to meet Hai Rui, but he actually wanted to keep these fields in front of Hai Rui.

Of course, the result was that Hai Rui, who was so stubborn that he dared to scold Emperor Jiajing, pushed him back, and the ending was not so good.

It can be said that if this incident had not happened, history would have rated Xu Jie very highly.

And if the Duke of Tui's government was really short of money, why would he dare to hand over the farm to Yu Honggao to take full charge of it?

Seeing the puzzled expression on Shi Zhongkui's face, Yu Honggao laughed and said, "I am a teacher for you, but I will use the donkey-hide gelatin produced in my hometown in the next two years in exchange for the right to manage this farm for one year."

Boqian, please don’t let me down."

Shi Zhongkui was stunned. This transaction must have exceeded 5,000 taels of silver, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Teacher, please rest assured that my disciple will definitely live up to his trust."

In this way, Shi Zhongkui settled down in the farm.

Early the next morning, when Shi Zhongkui opened his eyes after meditating all night, a ray of light suddenly flashed through his eyes.

And when he exhaled, a white mist gathered and did not disperse, flying straight for two meters before beginning to disperse.

"It's done."

Shi Zhongkui was very happy. He had planned to harvest a crop of twenty peaches last night, but he did not expect that the peaches that were supposed to ripen once a day were not yet ripe.

After the surprise, there is great joy.

The longer it takes to mature, the more likely it is that the grade of the peach has been upgraded by one level.

In other words, peaches have surpassed the ranks of ordinary peaches and evolved in the direction of spiritual fruits.

However, since there were twenty peaches on the tree, Shi Zhongkui thought about it and picked one to try.

Unexpectedly, the fruit melted in his mouth and turned into spiritual energy and rushed into his body.
