Chapter 51: Outer Disciples
Chu Yuanyang nodded and walked towards the only cave in the east that was not selected.
This location has been dark and damp for many years, and it is not as dry as the other two caves, so it is no wonder that they don't like it.
The cave is not big, about 20 square meters, the cave is clean and concise, except for a polished very smooth and flat stone bed, a stone table, four stone benches, there is nothing else.
There was not a trace of dust in the cave, so she didn't need to clean it.
For the first time, there are still many things to do tomorrow, Chu Yuanyang has no heart to think about anything else, he just wants to meditate on pranayama.
The aura inside the Hehuan Sect was much richer than outside, and under her overnight meditation and cultivation, she faintly felt that there were signs of an imminent breakthrough.
"Senior Sister Chu!" Zheng Rongrong's voice sounded outside the cave.
Hearing this, Chu Yuanyang slowly withdrew from meditation and walked out of the cave: "Senior Sister Zheng, what's the matter?"
"Didn't the senior sister who brought us here yesterday let us go to the deacon senior sister of the Yanyan Hall today to receive the deacon?
The costumes in the sect are only distributed to the inner disciples, so Zheng Rongrong's dress today is no different from yesterday's.
To put it bluntly, the outer disciples are in the sect, and they are really miscellaneous people.
There will be no welfare benefits, no guidance from the master, and there will be chores for the sect.
Fortunately, doing chores is not done in vain, and the corresponding chores will get the corresponding spirit stones.
Chu Yuanyang shook his head, her current cultivation is the third layer of qi refining, and her cultivation is lower among the newly recruited disciples.
Even Zheng Rongrong, who was one year younger than her in front of her, was now cultivating at the fourth level of qi refining.
"Senior Sister Zheng, ...... are you?"
As soon as Chu Yuanyang wanted to lift his legs, he saw Zheng Rongrong covering her chest, her face pale, and she looked out of breath.
Zheng Rongrong took out a pill from the storage money bag with trembling hands, put it in her mouth, and waited until her complexion returned to normal before she said with a wry smile: "This is a problem that I brought out of my mother's womb, it is not in the way, but it scares you?"
Chu Yuanyang shook his head and asked curiously, "Will people who cultivate the truth still be born, old, sick and die?"
Zheng Rongrong glanced at Chu Yuanyang strangely, and said in surprise: "This is nature, people who cultivate the truth are not immortals, of course they will be born, old, sick and die, Senior Sister Chu, don't you know?"
Chu Yuanyang choked and smiled knowingly.
I thought that people who cultivate the truth would not be born, old, sick and die like mortals, but I didn't expect that they would be no different from mortals.
Wouldn't the medicine of her previous life be useful?
Then she sighed bitterly, in the absence of advanced mechanical instruments and equipment, her medical doctor is just an empty name.
The Yanyan Hall is very close to the mountain where the outer disciples are located, and it takes only an hour to step on the bluestone staircase that goes over the mountain.
With the identification card, receive the service matters.
Chu Yuanyang saw the word medicine garden in a bunch of service things.
Probably because she was a medical doctor in her last life, she is particularly sensitive to words like 'medicine'.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally chose to be a medicine boy who watered flowers and raised grass in the medicine garden.
With the quest card in hand, I found the medicine garden.
"Is anyone there?"
The medicine garden is oval-shaped, with an area of about 1,000 square meters, and is filled with all kinds of herbs.
The fragrance of medicine was fragrant, and Chu Yuanyang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Who are you?"
A stereotypical female voice sounded behind her.
Chu Yuanyang looked back at once.
Hey?
Isn't this Elder Miao?
How do you dress up as a peasant woman?
Slightly restrained, he replied, "Disciple Chu Yuanyang is a new medicine boy. ”
"Chu Yuanyang, are you the disciple of the Mixed Spirit Root who has passed many tests?" Elder Miao had no disdain in his eyes, as if he was stating the facts.
Chu Yuanyang lowered his eyebrows and was silent, with a good attitude, and he looked like he was listening to the teachings.
Seeing her look of 'I'm a good student', Elder Miao couldn't say anything more.
"There are 13,863 varieties of herbs in this garden, of which 184 are more than 1,000 years, 2,231 are more than 500 years old, 6,857 are more than 100 years old, and the rest are less than 100 years old, and these herbs add up to 51,860 plants....... ”
Chu Yuanyang listened and memorized, and sighed at the same time, this Elder Miao's memory is not ordinarily good, it stands to reason that these herbs are being picked every day, how can she remember how many herbs are left, and how many categories are clear?
Could it be that her daily job is to count herbs every day?
"You don't need to know the type of herbs, you don't need to remember the number of herbs, what you have to do every day is to water and fertilize the herbs, and count the number and number of herbs, and then report them to me!" Elder Miao said without smiling, and walked towards the only thatched hut in the entire medicine garden.
Chu Yuanyang was dumbfounded, she still took care of this matter of herbs, it was Elder Miao who did it himself, but he didn't expect it to fall on her.
No wonder the medicine boys here change the most diligently, and the longest stay here does not exceed three days, and they will flee as if they have hit a ghost.
Fortunately, her dedication to medicine in her previous life, both Chinese medicine and Western medicine, were involved.
Therefore, counting herbs, watering and fertilizing herbs, is quite fun.
After counting the herbs in the medicine garden for a whole day, her brain was a little swollen, and she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.
It is not difficult to count herbs, but it is easy to get sleepy while counting, and when you take a nap, you forget where to count, and you have no choice but to count again.
"Senior Sister Chu, I heard that you went to the medicine garden?" Zheng Rongrong stopped Chu Yuanyang, who was about to go back to her cave: "Why did you go there?" I heard that the medicine garden is under the management of Elder Miao, and Elder Miao is the most demanding and picky, and he is also the least angry, so no one wants to take on the chores of the medicine garden. ”
"The medicine garden is very good!" Chu Yuanyang said sincerely.
At least the medicine garden is quiet and not afraid of being disturbed by others.
She stayed in the medicine garden for four months in a row, and during these four months, she firmly remembered the names, appearances and functions of tens of thousands of herbs according to the medical books given by Elder Miao.
Elder Miao Xu saw that she was diligent, dedicated, intelligent, and capable of persevering here for so long, and his attitude towards her eased a lot.
"Shouldn't it be? The heat, the order of the medicinal materials, it's all right, why is this happening?"
Elder Miao slowly walked out of the thatched hut with a furnace of discarded herbs, talking to himself as he walked.
"Elder Miao, the herbal disciple has already counted it, whether to report it to you now or ....... Seeing Elder Miao coming out of the thatched house, Chu Yuanyang hurriedly greeted him.
In normal times, she would definitely not disturb Elder Miao at this time, but today she made an appointment with Lan Xiang and Su Manyin to go down the mountain to purchase supplies for daily life.
Elder Miao didn't seem to hear it, and was still intoxicated by alchemy.
"Elder Miao!" Chu Yuanyang chased after him and shouted again.
"Hey, I said are you bothered, you don't have any eyesight, don't you see I'm busy?" Elder Miao waved his arm impatiently.
Chu Yuanyang glanced at the sky, his heart was anxious, and he simply gritted his teeth and took what Elder Miao said to himself.
"There is a reason why the disciple thinks you have failed. ”
Elder Miao was stunned for a moment, and said in disgust: "The reason? What is the reason? You don't know how to do alchemy, so you can know what the reason is, so don't make trouble for me here." After impatiently speaking, he turned his head over, took two steps, and turned back and asked, "Then tell me what the reason is!"
Chu Yuanyang pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth to analyze: "If the heat, the order of the medicinal materials, and the amount of medicinal materials are all correct, then, is there something wrong with your mentality? The most important thing about alchemy is calmness, and when the disciple sees you coming over today, his mood is different from the past." ”
She estimated in her heart that alchemy should be similar to modern dispensing research and development, and they all pay attention to calmness, and they are most taboo and impetuous, and they are in a hurry.
When Elder Miao heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded again and again: "Well, it seems to make some sense, why didn't I think of it." ”
