Tobacco was a necessity for some Cultivators. In his years of traveling as a merchant, Fang Qingyuan had seen many Cultivators who enjoyed taking a few puffs.
The tobacco of the Southern Border was called Thousand Soul Grass. It was said that if a Cultivator smoked enough of it, they would see many little people, or glowing soul-like entities. Some Alchemists even liked to add it to their Hallucinogenic Elixirs.
Fang Qingyuan sought out Jiang Kui to discuss planting Thousand Soul Grass. Yuanling Mountain was in a remote location, so no one would care if they grew such things.
Jiang Kui had just finished her work at the mine pits and hadn't had a chance to rest for more than a few days when Fang Qingyuan showed up at her door. She was sprawled inelegantly on a rocking chair and said to him:
"If you want tea, get it yourself. I just finished planting over four hundred Array Banners one by one. I'm exhausted."
