Chapter 122: The Disaster of Innocence
It turned out that Zhan Chen took a fancy to one of them: "Each servant can apply for a retreat for half a year every three years, and these retreat times can still be accumulated." ”
He thought, "I'm only one step away from Martial Venerable now, why don't I immediately apply for retreat and cultivation and break through Martial Venerable in one fell swoop?"
So, Zhan Chen immediately stood up and pushed the door out, but he didn't want to meet someone head-on.
That person only had the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Martial Master, and when he saw Zhan Chen, he felt very cordial, and greeted: "This brother is a little faceless, I'm afraid he just came." ”
Zhan Chen saluted him and said, "In Xia Zhan Chen, may I ask my brother Taizun's surname?"
"Hehe, why do you pay attention to so much etiquette, my name is Ma Shun, and I have been here as a medicine slave for ten years. ”
"Then I'll call you Brother Ma Shun. ”
"Okay, Brother Zhan Chen. ”
Zhan Chen saw that he recognized someone as soon as he went out, and he had an idea, so he asked, "By the way, Brother Ma Shun, I want to ask you something." ”
"You say. ”
"I want to apply for a retreat, where do I go?"
"No, brother, you just wanted to retreat?"
"Why? no?" Zhan Chen asked worriedly.
"Brother, don't you know the sophistication of the people in this, newcomers, should be familiar, don't come out, the most important thing is to mix in peace for three or five years, and then ask Mr. An for instructions!"
Zhan Chen thanked him: "Thank you Brother Tai for reminding me!" But in his heart, he thought, "Hmph! Wait for three or five years? I don't have time to wait! No matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try." ”
So, he went straight to Anjou, and after the salute, Anjou asked: "Zhan Chen, we have just been separated for a long time, why are you here again, didn't you just say that there is no problem?"
Zhan Chen arched his hand and said, "Chief Hui'an, just now I read the "Instructions for the Holy Maiden Peak" you gave me, but I found that there was an application for retreat. Now my cultivation has stopped at the Great Perfection of the Martial Master for a long time, as long as I am in retreat, I can achieve it overnight, I hope that the Lord in Charge will approve it. ”
Zhan Chen's words seemed reasonable, breaking through was the most important thing for a martial artist, so the Holy Maiden Peak also gave the servant this privilege.
However, at this time, Anru's face sank, Zhan Chen just came every day, and he had to take a long vacation, obviously not giving her face.
She just wanted to refuse, but when she saw Zhan Chen looking at her calmly, she couldn't help but swallow back the words that came to her lips, but changed her words and said, "Zhan Chen, you just asked for leave, it's not good!"
"Chief Wang'an can be gracious!" Zhan Chen must insist on this.
Anjou had no choice but to say, "Well, you have a special situation, let me explain it to the Holy Maiden." ”
"Mr. Xie!" Zhan Chen bowed to her, but Yin Meiru's triumphant eyes suddenly appeared in his heart, and he faintly felt that his application might not be approved so easily.
After Anjou waited for him to leave, he went to meet Yin Meiru and told her that Zhan Chen wanted to apply for retreat, and carefully observed the holy woman to see how she reacted.
"Zhan Chen wants to apply for a retreat?" Yin Meiru said in astonishment.
Then the hostess of the Holy Maiden Peak showed a playful smile on her face and muttered, "It just so happens that I have been bored since I came back recently, so I will have fun with him." ”
So she said to Anjou: "You go back and tell that Zhan Chen, let him wait for a month, and I will test whether he can fulfill his duties and take good care of my elixir, and then I will consider whether to approve his request." ”
"Yes!" Anjou retreated, but after turning around, her face also showed amusement, the attitude of the Holy Maiden towards this Zhan Chen was really a bit special.
That night, Zhan Chen was summoned, and Anru told him Yin Meiru's reply.
After Zhan Chen retreated, he was muttering: "It seems that Yin Meiru is unwilling to let me retreat and cultivate casually, the so-called checking Lingtian is just a reason to find fault with me, I have to skillfully master the method of taking care of those elixirs as soon as possible, so that she doesn't want to find fault!"
So the next day, Zhan Chen came to the spiritual field he was in charge of and began to observe, this field was planted with 1,300 fourth-grade elixirs, and 100 fifth-grade elixirs. At the end of each month, the envoys of the palace would come here once to store the ripe elixir and register it.
The fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs are not only very precious, but also have a very long growth cycle, even under such superior conditions as the Holy Maiden Peak, it takes 5 years for a four-grade elixir to grow from seed into an elixir, and it takes more than 10 years for a fifth-grade elixir.
If they are moved to a normal growth environment, their growth cycle will be more than ten times the original!
"This is the Dragon Seeking Wood, a fourth-grade high-grade wood attribute elixir, you need to water the mountain spring water 5 times a day, and you must often look for some ores rich in wood spiritual energy, and the wood chips can only grow well when buried under the soil. ”
"That's the Fire Shine Flower, a five-grade mid-grade fire attribute elixir, it can only be watered once a week, not only do you need to feed it more ores rich in fire attribute aura, but you also need to use the heating spirit array every day to raise the temperature around it, simulating the growth environment and temperature around the volcano. ”
......
Zhan Chen identified them one by one, and adopted different cultivation methods, the number of elixirs in this spiritual field was as many as 30, and each one adopted a different cultivation method.
From the beginning of the sun in the morning until the sun went down in the evening, Zhan Chen was busy in the fields all the time, and it was not until night fell that he barely finished the day's work.
As soon as he went back, he fell asleep from exhaustion, and the next day, he rushed to Lingtian early in the morning, and after carefully probing all the elixirs, he finally showed a relieved smile, everything remained fine, which showed that his efforts were not in vain.
So he mustered up all his strength and threw himself into the new work, at least he had to perform well for a month, just so that Yin Meiru couldn't find fault with the demon girl.
Gradually, Zhan Chen began to become familiar with the work here, and his work efficiency improved significantly, and when he had time, he also went to other spiritual fields to visit, and asked for a lot of advice, and he actually mastered a lot of elixir knowledge.
At night that day, Zhan Chen returned to his dormitory, but he couldn't sleep, and couldn't help but take out the "Yuzhai Alchemy Beginning" that he got in the True Martial Secret Realm, and thought: "I didn't expect that I would have such a harvest at the stage of being a medicine slave in the Holy Maiden Peak." ”
"Yin Meiru's elixirs in that guy's medicinal field are really too rich, if you can use these elixirs, most of the elixirs in this alchemy secret book can probably be refined. Don't expect anything else, as long as I refine a few of these four-grade metallic pills, then it will definitely be of great help to my cultivation. ”
"It's a pity that the elixirs here can't be moved......"
Thinking of this, he subconsciously took out the gray alchemy furnace from his Qiankun bag, and picked up the broken array to continue to crack the prohibition on it. Over the years, whenever he had time, he would take them out and use them to kill time.
With his unremitting efforts, most of the prohibitions on the Dan Furnace have been broken, but as long as the last prohibition is not broken, this alchemy furnace will not reveal its true face of Lushan.
Time passed day after day in this tense and fulfilling, and in the blink of an eye, the month period arrived.
On this day, Yin Meiru really brought a group of people to the elixir field, which was called the inspection work, which caused a burst of exclamations from the medicine slaves.
"The Holy Maiden actually came to our ordinary elixir field!"
"Yes, Her Highness the Holy Maiden usually only goes to her own private medicine garden, but I didn't expect to appear here!"
......
In the fields, the medicine slaves were talking one after another.
Seeing Yin Meiru coming towards her with her entourage, the medicine slaves would stop what they were doing, look at her obsessively, and shout feverishly: "Long live the Holy Maiden!"
In the face of the worship of these low-level people, Yin Meiru will not even look at it, her goal is always only one, that is, Zhan Chen.
The group went straight to the mu of spiritual field that Zhan Chen was in charge of, and stopped.
Zhan Chen was already waiting by the medicine field, bowed to them, and said, "Meet the Holy Maiden in the next Zhan Chen!"
Yin Meiru glanced at him, and saw that he was also looking at herself calmly, and couldn't help sneering in her heart: "Hmph, Zhan Chen, you just came here to give me a problem, see if I don't give you some color today!"
So she asked with a calm face, "Zhan Chen, you told me last month that you wanted to apply for retreat, but there is such a thing. ”
"Hui Holy Maiden, this is indeed the case. ”
"Hmph, you don't have a lot of guts, you want to be a thorn in the head as soon as you come!"
"It's all up to the rules of the Holy Maiden Peak. Zhan Chen replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You!" Yin Mei was like a change of color, but Zhan Chen's answer was reasonable, in front of everyone, he wanted to be willful and careless with this little medicine slave, but it would damage his image.
Then a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes, and she said, "Wow, I want to see how well you take care of my elixir?"
"Please take a closer look. Zhan Chen bowed again, he had already made up his mind.
So next, Yin Meiru took a group of entourages to carefully inspect the elixirs in Zhan Chentian's field one by one, and although the nearby medicine slaves were curious, they didn't dare to come forward to watch, so they had to work hard.
However, Yin Meiru became more and more depressed the more she investigated, and thought to herself: "I didn't expect that this Zhanchen is really a talent! Ordinary medicine slaves will be at a loss for a month after taking up their posts, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes." But this Zhanchen has taken care of this place in an orderly manner, and it seems that he has put in a lot of hard work. ”
She couldn't help but turn her head again, looked at Zhan Chen's calm face again, and felt angry again: "No! I must not let this guy pass the test easily, this time, I must let him completely kneel at my feet!"
Thinking of this, Yin Meiru's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a fiery red light swept across a fifth-grade high-grade elixir that was about to grow in front of her, and the speed was so fast that it exceeded the reaction of everyone present.
The next moment, the elixir bent over and fell to the ground.
A hint of pride flashed in Yin Meiru's eyes, but she pretended to be sad on her face, and shouted: "What's wrong with this silver spoon flower!"
Anjou, who was beside him, stepped forward and came to the silver spoon flower to take a look, but shouted: "Holy Maiden, it was broken by someone!"
"How is that possible!" Zhan Chen, who was behind, hurriedly rushed forward, looking at the elixir, his brain was blank, he remembered that this silver spoon flower was still good in the morning.
I heard Yin Meiru's sneer behind me: "Hmph, Zhan Chen, do you still have something to say?"
Zhan Chen was silent.
Yin Meiru asked Anru again: "Anru, how many yuan stones can you think this silver spoon flower can be worth?"
"Back to Your Highness, at least 300 high-grade Yuan Stones. Although Anjou was unhappy for Zhan Chen, he had to say it truthfully.
"Zhan Chen, if you can take out 300 high-grade Yuan Stones, this palace will let you go. At this time, the demon girl's pride had reached the extreme.
Zhan Chen muttered, "I don't have any money." ”
Looking at Zhan Chen's dejected appearance, Yin Meiru's heart tightened for no reason, but she still said with a calm face: "Escort him to me and put him on death row!"
