Lu You was secretly anxious. "Deacon Liu, actually... if we just want to borrow this place to cultivate, we don't necessarily have to buy the farm! You told me that the spiritual energy is most concentrated in a specific villa. We could easily just rent that villa long-term! I'm on good terms with the owners of the farm; they shouldn't refuse."
Deacon Liu's voice instantly turned cold. "Lu You, are you trying to teach me how to do my job?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Lu You replied hastily.
"Then why are you making so many excuses?" Deacon Liu asked coldly. "If we buy the farm, it becomes ours. If we rent it, no matter for how long, it remains someone else's property. Do I really need to explain the difference to you? Right now, no other cultivation sects have discovered this treasure trove. Naturally, we must seize the opportunity to buy the entire farm, otherwise someone else will beat us to it. Understand?"
"I understand," Lu You said, lowering her head.
