443, Xu family
After testing the qualifications, the next few levels of Lingyu were easily passed.
The Damengze family recruits casual cultivators, and in terms of the number of people alone, the competition is more fierce than that of the Lingcang Sect to recruit disciples. However, the family is so strong that there are almost no conditions for the growth of casual cultivation, and in this regard, the competition is weak.
Lingyu didn't have to make much effort to successfully enter the Xu family.
This time, the Xu family recruited a family of loose cultivators, a total of nine, four men and five women, with an average gender. Lingyu quietly looked at the other four female cultivators, wondering if they were the furnace tripods prepared for "Xuan Gongzi".
They didn't have to wait long in Xu Jia Beppu before they were taken on a flying boat and headed for Jackdaw Mountain.
As Jackdaw Mountain approached, the scattered cultivators on the flying boat let out exclamations one after another, causing the Xu family monks to show disdain.
Loose cultivation is casual cultivation, and I really don't know anything.
Lingyu stood on the deck of the flying boat, looking at the mountain gate in the distance, and was also a little surprised.
However, the reason why she was surprised was not because of how magnificent the mountain gate was, but because the gap with Changhe City was too big.
The mountain gate of the Xu family is made of jade, a whole piece of white jade that is as high as dozens of zhang, and it is the appearance of the mountain gate, and the fairy beasts and birds are carved on it, which is very magnificent.
Compared with this mountain gate, the gray gate of Changhe City is simply a small stone pier.
The family is a big dream, and sure enough, the Xu family is just a medium-sized family, and it is even more beautiful than Changhe City.
The flying boat landed on the high platform, and the monks of the Xu family led them down.
They had just descended from the high platform when another flying boat landed on the high platform. This flying boat was magnificent, and compared to the humble flying boat they were on, it was a world of difference.
"It's Xuan Gongzi who is back!" A female cultivator of the Xu family who was traveling with her shouted excitedly.
Xuan Gongzi? Lingyu's heart moved. Look up at the high platform.
Shortly after the boat fell. Several monks disembarked from the flying boat. At the head of the pack is a young man. In his early twenties, he has an elegant appearance and a good demeanor, and his cultivation is in the later stage of foundation building.
If you don't know about the furnace ding, Lingyu may feel that this young man has a good appearance, but he knows that a few female cultivators around him may be the furnace ding that the Xu family chose for this Xuan Gongzi. I felt sick.
In fact, this Xuan Gongzi's qualifications are not bad, her consciousness swept slightly, and she knew that his qualifications were better than Xu Jibo, if he concentrated on cultivation, he might not be worse than the elite disciples of the big sects, I really don't know who came up with the idea of Lu Ding.
This Xuan Gongzi came down from the high platform with a few people, and when he passed by them, he glanced at it: "This is a new casual cultivator?" ”
The leader of the team hurriedly said yes, and his attitude was a little deliberate: "Yes." Does Xuan Gongzi have a favorite? It's better to pick a few and go back to serve. ”
When the nine people heard this, some of them had stiff faces. Someone was secretly excited.
Xuan Gongzi waved his hand: "Besides, the qualifications are not good, I don't want it." With that, he took his retinue and left.
The leader of the team looked at Xuan Gongzi's back, and his tone was a little regretful: "Let's go." ”
There were nine of them, and they were quickly arranged to go there.
The family recruits casual cultivators, but it is not the sect that recruits disciples, they come here, mainly to work for the family, and what they seek is only the opportunity to obtain resources and exercises.
The four male cultivators each have heavy work, such as mining and the like, and the five female cultivators, which are slightly lighter, but also take a lot of time.
Lingyu and another female cultivator were arranged to have an errand to take care of the medicine field, it stands to reason that this errand is already very good, and the others are more or less envious, including Lingyu herself, who also thought that she was lucky and got an easy errand. But when she got to the field, she realized that it was not easy at all.
Taking care of the medicine field is naturally better than opening a mine, but the medicine field she has to take care of is a hundred acres!
What is the concept of 100 acres? This is equivalent to a medium-sized medicine garden, and in the Taibai Sect, the number of disciples assigned to a medium-sized medicine garden is ten people! In other words, in the Damengze family, the work of the scattered cultivators who came to take refuge was ten times that of the disciples of the Lingcang Sect!
Lingyu made a brief calculation, taking care of such a large medicine field, beginners have to work day and night, even if they are veterans, they have to be busy from morning to night. In this way, the time for cultivation is infinitely compressed.
As for the income, on the surface, it seems that it is similar to the disciples of the Lingcang Sect, and you can get ten spirit stones every month during the Qi refining period. However, after listening to the Xu family's steward explain the rules for the management of the medicine field, Lingyu knew that few of the ten spirit stones could enter his pocket.
The rule of managing the medicine field is that a certain amount of elixir should be handed over every month, and the more can be replaced with spirit stones, and the less should be replenished by yourself.
Lingyu managed the medicine garden for her master in her early years, and later learned a lot of knowledge about herb cultivation from Cheng Xiaoyu. Beginners can't hand it over at all, even if it's a veteran, it's not easy to hand it in according to the number, in case of a business trip, it's possible to lose all ten spirit stones.
Still, the errand was much easier than mining a mine. It is said that those who open mines have a lot of ore handed in every day, and it would be good to be able to leave two or three hours to cultivate.
After assigning the errand, Lingyu and another female cultivator were led to the location of the medicine field.
Jackdaw Mountain is huge, and this piece of medicine field is continuous, not to mention a hundred hectares. One hectare is a hundred acres, and at least a hundred people work hard here.
"Old history, old history!" The steward who brought her shouted as he stood in front of a row of stone houses.
"What is it called, it is called mourning!" A large man with a beard came out of the house, holding a medicine hoe in his hand.
Lingyu raised her eyebrows in surprise, this man was so unkind to the steward? In an environment like the Xu family, he is a foreign affairs manager, so he should be polite to the steward of this sect.
Unexpectedly, the steward was not angry, and said with a smile: "My brother sent someone to you, you still don't know what to do?" ”
The man had already noticed the two female cultivators standing behind him and frowned: "Didn't I say it last time?" Pick a few men, how can they be women? ”
The steward sighed, "You think you can choose?" There aren't enough people on the other side of the vein, of course it's close to that side! Taking care of the medicine field, the woman did it carefully. ”
"Humph! Serve men carefully, women can do serious work? ”
As soon as these words came out, Lingyu and the other female cultivator's faces changed slightly.
The big man didn't care at all, and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, got it, get out." ”
The steward didn't leave, still standing in place, smiling at the big man. In the end, the big man was helpless, and took out a handful of herbs from the house: "You can get out now, right?" ”
The steward smiled and accepted it, said some kind things again, and then left.
When Lingyu saw this, she understood why the steward was so polite to Dahan. The medicine field manager can deduct some herbs from the medicine field from time to time, and he doesn't have a bit of background, so I'm afraid he won't be able to get such a good errand.
The big man looked at them with a harsh gaze: "Will you grow elixir?" ”
Lingyu and the other female cultivator both nodded: "Yes." ”
"Will some be some, how much?" The big man's thick eyebrows raised, showing a bit of fierceness, "If you can't do a good job, get out of here as soon as possible!" ”
The female cultivator who was traveling with her trembled and replied with some fear: "I have worked in the pharmacy and have also helped the owner grow elixirs. ”
Feeling that Dahan's gaze fell on him, Lingyu also learned to reply in a slightly trembling tone: "I have learned an elixir from my master, and it is common. ”
Dahan's voice lowered a little: "It's about the same. ”
He took a few things out of the house, closed the door, and walked up to the field: "Follow me." ”
The two followed him for a while, and came to a mountain pass: "This is the medicine field you are responsible for." After showing it to them, Dahan threw each of them a Qiankun bag, "Let you try planting for a month first, and if it's okay, you will be responsible." ”
He pointed to the two wooden houses in the corner: "That's for you." ”
casually explained a few things, and the big man left.
Lingyu and the female cultivator were relieved as they watched him walk away.
Although this person is only the ninth layer of Qi refining, he is really too fierce.
The female cultivator turned her head, looked at Lingyu carefully, and smiled at her: "My name is Fang He, I don't know what to call you?" ”
"Cheng ......" Lingyu stuck the card and replied, "My name is Cheng Junying." ”
"It turned out to be Sister Cheng." Fang He pointed to the wooden house in the corner, "We will be neighbors in the future, and I ask Sister Cheng to take care of us." ”
"Where. The Xu family is so big, we are lonely, and we should take care of each other. ”
After a few conversations, the two each picked a wooden house and settled down.
Lingyu made up her mind to get close to this Fang Heduo. Where Xu Jibo's opportunity came from, it was unclear, Yuan Lixia was even more ignorant of his father's affairs, she needed time to explore slowly, and she needed Fang He to help her cover it up.
After a few spells, the wooden house was cleaned. Lingyu walked out of the wooden house and looked at the boiler in the corner.
The Qi Refining Cultivator has not yet opened the valley, and there is a ready-made boiler here, which should have been left by the previous resident. She hadn't eaten fireworks for many years, and she really didn't know where to start for a while.
After a while, Fang He also finished cleaning and came out of the hut. When Lingyu saw her, she beckoned, "Sister Fang, it's just the two of us here, how about a gang?" ”
Fang He smiled: "I was just about to tell Sister Cheng!" It's too boring to eat alone, so it's better for us to eat together. ”
In the Qiankun bag given by the big man, there was a month's ration for them, and the two of them washed and cooked it without mentioning it.
When the two of them were sitting on the grass stone table to eat, Lingyu figured out Fang He's origins, and also learned a lot about the customs and habits of the Damengze family.
Fang He was a typical Dameng Ze scattered cultivator, after entering the Immortal Dao, he worked hard everywhere, barely cultivating to the seventh level of Qi refining.
She is in her early twenties this year, and at such an age, in an environment like Da Mengze, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the seventh level of qi refining. The qualifications are good, if it weren't for now, she would not have been picked if she had an ordinary appearance.
After saying these idle things, Fang He whispered to her: "Sister Cheng, we are lucky!" Most of those who came with us were there as furnaces. ”
Lingyu was extremely surprised: "This ...... How do you know? She thought that few people knew about Lu Ding!
Fang He smiled bitterly: "Aren't all of our Damengze's casual cultivators like this?" Alas, I really hope to save enough money early and go to Xingluo ......" (to be continued......
