Chapter 525 He was furious!
Qin Bi was happy all morning, her smile was bright.
She never dug through the soil completely. As long as she saw a vine she liked, she would pull it up and dig, and there would definitely be a sweet potato with spiritual energy in the soil. Of course, not all of them were of the highest quality. If they were all of the highest quality, that would be amazing.
Lin Yao stayed with Qin Bi the whole time, watching her smile happily, and remained silent.
Whose fortune is this anyway?!
Lin Yaoke observed that Su Shizi's team of over twenty people had dug far fewer spirit-infused sweet potatoes than Qin Bi had. Even if Qin Lang and Rong Yan were fortunate, they probably hadn't dug as many as Qin Bi.
Most importantly, Qin Bi also dug up a rare and delicious sweet potato.
Lin Yao was puzzled as to how many rare and precious items they had unearthed.
Qin Bi wasn't excited at all when she dug up the divine sweet potatoes. She dug them up without saying a word and put them away. Therefore, Lin Yao, the chief strategist, couldn't guess how many divine sweet potatoes Qin Bi had dug up.
"Princess Consort," Lin Yao asked, "What shall we eat for lunch?"
Young Master Su ran over and searched everywhere, picking out a vine to dig up. Most of the vines didn't have any spiritual sweet potatoes underneath, but the area was huge, about three thousand acres.
This was the land that Prince Su and Qin Tan had inspected. The Second Young Master Su, being nosy, went to dig it up, but after digging through the vines, he found nothing. He was furious and ran back.
"Why bother eating?" Young Master Su replied, "Just grab something quick and easy."
Digging sweet potatoes is the priority. With such a large area, finding sweet potato vines and digging sweet potatoes will keep us busy all day. Eating is not so important. Finding a magical sweet potato is such a rare treat.
Since we're not killing any monsters, why waste time eating?
"Let's eat sweet potatoes." Qin Bi disagreed: "Second Young Master, I'll treat your Prince Su to sweet potatoes."
Young Master Su chuckled: "Why are you calling me elder brother?"
There must be a reason why they invited me to eat the "spiritual sweet potato".
Qin Bi also laughed: "Let Prince Su travel around some more, as far as he can. Even if we are from the Marquis's Mansion, we can't compete with Qin He for Prince Qin's luck. We can only benefit from the luck of your Duke Su's Mansion."
Young Master Su was in a good mood after digging up a sweet potato imbued with spiritual energy.
Young Master Su found it amusing: "No problem, but we don't need to wander around today, do we? This area is quite large, and it will take us a whole day to find it. Also, even though you didn't say anything, my elder brother wanted to go for a stroll after we finished searching this area. No need to give him sweet potatoes."
Qin Bi didn't say anything. Looking into the distance, she didn't see any procession. She took out a sweet potato the size of an orange and gave it to the Second Young Master Su. She picked the smallest one for him, as she was reluctant to give the larger one to the Young Master Su.
"We should still give what we owe you; we can't just use the good fortune of your Duke Su's mansion for nothing," Qin Bi said. "Since you're not planning on eating, why don't you go for a walk? Go somewhere a bit further away."
Young Master Su was bent over picking at the vines when he looked up and took a sweet potato. His eyelids twitched. A divine sweet potato? Young Master Su looked at Qin Bi in disbelief. He was giving his elder brother a divine sweet potato?!
Without saying a word, the Second Young Master Su hurried off to find the Young Master Su.
Prince Su put away the divine sweet potato, and without saying a word, he called Qin Lang, Rong Yan, Qin Tang, and Qin Tan to go for a stroll. In order not to be alone, he also called Second Young Master Su. They all went out in pairs and walked away into the distance.
This time the area is much larger, a huge expanse of vines.
Not only are there vines, but sometimes you can also find a small spiritual plant. Qin Bi took out a spiritual sweet potato and gave one to each of Qin Di, Qin Xun, Lin Yao, and the third son of the concubine.
“We have some,” Qin Di said. “Take it back for Rong Yang and Rong Chi to eat. The little ones are at the age of cultivating their roots. Eating more spiritual ingredients will make their spiritual palace stronger in the future.”
Qin Bi could only say, "I dug more."
Then, Qin Bi asked, "How much did you dig?"
The third son of a concubine took out a storage bag, opened it, and showed it to Qin Bi: "I found six spirit-infused sweet potatoes."
Qin Xun said, "I found about ten."
Lin Yao also took out his storage bag to show Qin Bi: "Qin Xun and I found almost everything." Qin Bi smiled, thinking that strategists were indeed cunning, but she wouldn't show Lin Yao her storage bag.
Qin Bi said in a very generous tone, "Eat up, there's not as much as I found."
Qin Di was surprised. "Alright, eat it. We can't roast sweet potatoes. Roasted sweet potatoes smell terrible. Eat them raw." Qin Bi wanted to peel them, but Qin Xun rinsed them with water.
For the others, it's easy; they just wipe it on their clothes and eat it raw.
The people from the Duke of Su's mansion were tempted when they saw this. They took out the sweet potatoes they had dug up, wiped them, and ate them raw. They were so sweet! After eating one spiritual sweet potato, they wanted to eat more. But when they saw how many spiritual sweet potatoes they had, they couldn't bear to part with them.
When Qin Bi heard the young masters of the Duke of Su's mansion say that the spirit-infused sweet potatoes were sweet, she thought they must be very sweet.
As a result, it was tough and not crisp at all; the melon was very hard.
Qin Xun also told her, "You like this kind of food."
Qin Bi was angry: "How did you know I like to eat this?"
"This kind of sweet potato is very starchy," Qin Xun laughed. "The kind that makes you choke."
"Really?" Qin Bi asked in surprise.
"Really." Qin Xun nodded.
Qin Bi was delighted: "I want to search more, I want to search a lot."
Qin Xun smiled as he looked at the happy Qin Bi. It was good that she was happy. Qin Bi cried all the time, which made her family feel bad. It was all He Yan and Qin He's fault.
After eating a magical sweet potato, everyone continued searching for vines to dig for more sweet potatoes.
When Su Shizi and his group returned, Qin Bi called out to Qin Tan and his team, "Come with me."
Qin Tan was puzzled, but didn't ask why. He sent Qin Tang to tell Prince Su, and everyone split up to collect things. Prince Su's team was busy digging sweet potatoes and didn't pay attention.
Qin Bi led her team away to a more distant place.
"Aren't we digging sweet potatoes?" asked the third son of a concubine.
He wanted to dig up a spirit sweet potato, which was the only spiritual food he could find. If he hadn't come to the small space of the demon beast realm with his father and brother, he wouldn't have been able to eat a single spirit sweet potato.
As an illegitimate child, he generally wouldn't have the opportunity to eat such spiritual food that could aid cultivation without the need for elixirs.
Qin Bi glanced around and replied, "Perhaps we can find a sweet potato field."
Everyone was stunned. This was really strange. Luck can bring good fortune, but it can't be this outrageous, unless it's someone like Qin He with maxed-out luck, or someone like the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Unsure of what to do, but since Qin Tan didn't object, everyone followed Qin Bi.
After walking for a while, Qin Bi stopped and started wandering around. She saw wild vegetables growing on the ground, not vines. Everyone else went to look for vines, but Qin Lang followed her.
Qin Bi took a small hoe and squatted down. Wild vegetables would do too; she wanted wild vegetables as well. Qin Bi dug wild vegetables from the ground.
After clearing away the wild vegetables, Luo Bi discovered the red berries.
Qin Bi was taken aback. She dug it up with a small hoe, and a small red radish the size of a grape rolled out of the soil. Qin Lang was immediately dumbfounded: "A sweet little radish, a spiritual ingredient?" (End of this chapter)
