After the two people entered the Room.
They appeared somewhat restrained, looking a little lost.
Obviously, they had stayed in the cramped Room under the deck for too long and were somewhat unaccustomed to this.
At the same time, the Young Cultivator was also secretly sizing up Qin Ming.
His heart couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He hadn't expected the other party's identity to be so extraordinary, probably a big figure.
He deeply understood the Social Graces of the Cultivation World and could easily guess the identity of the person before him.
If he wasn't hiding his Cultivation, then he must be an Honored Guest of the Mirror Snow Pavilion.
Qin Ming boiled Spirit Spring Water, brewed Spirit Mist Tea for the two, and after pouring the tea, he said, "You two don't need to be so polite. We're just having a casual chat. Come, please have some tea first."
The Young Cultivator carefully took the Spirit Tea from Qin Ming's hand, took a small sip, savored it, and said, "Good tea!"
Then, he introduced himself to Qin Ming, "My name is Wu Jiang, and this is my cultivation partner Mu Ruyin."
"I wonder what questions Friend has? I dare not say anything else, but I am quite well-informed about various news and secret Channels of the Spirit Dwelling Islands."
"Also, may I ask, to be able to stay here, Friend's identity is also not simple, right?"
Qin Ming was surprised, not expecting that the other party was also a local know-it-all, which was just what he wanted.
"Friend is too kind. My name is Qin Ming, and I am just a Spirit Plant Master. This time I came to the Spirit Dwelling Islands, I just wanted to find a quiet place for Farming and Hard Cultivation."
"Oh? So that's how it is. I didn't expect Friend Qin to be a Spirit Plant Master. Then have you joined any Power?" Wu Jiang's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
He glanced at the luxurious Guest Room, seemingly hinting at something.
Qin Ming frankly replied, "I have not joined any Power."
Wu Jiang's eyes rolled, and he then asked, "Then after Friend Qin arrives at the Spirit Dwelling Islands, do you have any plans to join a local family?"
"There are many Qi Condensation Families that are recruiting Spirit Plant Masters year-round, and the benefits is not bad."
"To be honest, I am unwilling to be in Dependence again and be restricted." Qin Ming decisively shook his head.
"Then, judging from Friend Qin's meaning, you want to rent a Cave Residence or Cultivation place alone?" Wu Jiang pondered for a moment and asked.
Qin Ming nodded, "However... I have been a Spirit Farmer long enough in the Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness. This time, I want to rent a larger piece of land and be a Landlord myself."
He had now entered the Late Qi Condensation Stage, and could naturally manage more Spirit Fields.
"Ah? Landlord… So Friend Qin wants to rent a large Spirit Field." Wu Jiang's mouth twitched slightly. He hadn't expected the other party's Spirit Stone Pouch Strength to be so strong!
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea.
Qin Ming shook his head and said in a calm voice, "Wrong, wrong, Friend Wu, what I mean is that I want to rent an entire island directly."
"Puff!"
Wu Jiang spat out a mouthful of tea, almost choking.
His cultivation partner Mu Ruyin beside him also looked surprised, her small mouth slightly agape.
"What's wrong? Is there something inappropriate? Friend Wu." Qin Ming couldn't help but smile at the other party's big reaction.
Wu Jiang cleared his throat, calmed down a little, and said, "It was my poor eyesight. So Friend Qin wants to find an unowned island and be an Island Lord himself."
"If it were a few years earlier, perhaps there might still be some islands with Spirit Veins that could be rented."
"But in recent years, most of the islands with First-Tier Spirit Veins have all been occupied by many Qi Condensation Families and Rogue Cultivators. It is rare to hear of unowned islands anymore."
"In addition, the Zhao Family has also rarely released islands with Spirit Veins for rent to outside Loose Cultivators in recent years."
"I'm afraid…"
Qin Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this news, which was somewhat unexpected. "What about Second-Order Spirit Vein Islands?"
Wu Jiang was stunned by these words.
The other party's question was challenging his understanding again and again.
Wait.
Second-Order Spirit Vein?
Suddenly, a Spirit Light flashed in his mind, and he realized where he was sitting. Wu Jiang instantly understood and had an epiphany!
The Friend Qin in front of him must be a highly respected Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master! If that was the case, then everything made sense.
To think that he even wanted to earn a Guide Fee from the other party… Thinking of this, he quickly stood up again and bowed to Qin Ming.
"So Friend Qin is actually a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master, please forgive my rudeness just now."
Mu Ruyin beside him was also shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly got up and bowed gracefully.
Qin Ming waved his hand, "You two Friends don't need to be so restrained, please sit down."
The two sat down upon hearing this.
"Friend Qin, to be honest, there are only a few Second-Order Spirit Vein Islands in the Spirit Dwelling Islands, and most of them are arranged for the Zhao Family's industries."
"The rest are inhabited by some Cultivation Families and Rogue Cultivators with considerable Strength."
"I'm afraid it's not easy to rent either!"
"Moreover, for an entire island, the annual Rent is a considerable amount of Spirit Stones…"
Wu Jiang said to this point, glanced at Qin Ming's reaction, and added another sentence.
"However, this should not be a problem for a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master like Friend Qin."
Qin Ming frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that the actual situation of the Spirit Dwelling Islands was quite different from what he had previously expected.
Not to mention having Spirit Veins, he couldn't even rent an ordinary island.
"Alas~ That's indeed a bit of a pity."
Qin Ming sighed slightly.
If it really didn't work out, he could only choose other alternative destinations.
When Wu Jiang saw Qin Ming like this, his mind raced.
To be honest, it was the first time he had encountered a figure like a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.
He absolutely could not let go of such a Powerful Backer!
He had just carefully observed Qin Ming's words and actions, and if he wasn't a Righteous Gentleman, he was also a magnanimous person.
Wu Jiang immediately said, "Friend Qin, although Second-Order Spirit Vein Islands are rare, it's not completely without opportunities…"
"Oh? Friend Wu, please speak." Qin Ming's spirits lifted when he heard this, it seemed there was still hope.
Wu Jiang explained, "Friend Qin, the shortest lease term for Second-Order Spirit Vein Islands in the Spirit Dwelling Islands is ten years."
"I'm not too clear about other islands, but a distant relative of mine mentioned to me once when he came to visit, that a Second-Order Spirit Vein Island in the north of the Spirit Dwelling Islands was originally rented by a Qi Condensation Family, the Mo Family."
"Unfortunately, the Mo Family Head Fallen in an accident a few years ago, and since then the Mo Family has been in Decline of Family Fortune. Without the Pillar of Support of the Mo Family Head, the remaining clansmen are probably unable to bear the expenses required to rent a Second-Order Spirit Vein Island."
"Moreover, the lease term of the Spirit Vein Island is about to expire within this year."
"If the Mo Family cannot pay the Rent Spirit Stones by then, the Zhao Family is very likely to look for someone else."
"Coincidentally, my father has an old acquaintance with someone from the Mo Family and can help inquire about the situation."
Qin Ming fell into thought upon hearing this.
Things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, but this turning point was not very big.
However, he carefully analyzed and thought about it.
He still decided to go and see what was going on.
He was unfamiliar with the place and needed a local guide.
"Then I'll have to trouble Friend Wu to take me to see what the situation is. If it works out, Friend Wu will definitely benefit." Qin Ming said after pondering for a moment.
"Hehehe!"
"Look at what Friend Qin is saying, being able to get to know a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master is my honor!"
