Chapter 22: Farming?
In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, Lin Chen and the four of them had already come to the open space in front of the courtyard, and after tidying up last night, the entire courtyard now looked no longer so cluttered.
Just as the four of them were laughing with each other, the figure of Senior Brother Xiao, who was in charge of picking up their group yesterday, appeared in front of several people.
"It's not bad, at least you don't have to call you" Senior Brother Xiao glanced at Lin Chen and the others.
"Hello Senior Brother Xiao!" Lin Chen and the others saw Senior Brother Xiao coming, so they quickly stopped laughing and greeted politely.
"Hmm" Senior Brother Xiao nodded, and then said, "Four junior brothers, come with me." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door, and Lin Chen and the four of them hurriedly followed when they saw this scene.
Lin Chen didn't take Xiao Huang today, but left him in the house, and after the four of them followed Senior Brother Xiao through a mountain road, they came to a relatively flat place somewhere at the foot of the mountain.
In front of Lin Chen's eyes were more than ten medicinal fields of equal size, the medicine fields were full of a kind of green grass at this time, and Lin Chen smelled a faint fragrance in the air.
"This?" Yu Yue seemed to think of something after seeing the green plants planted on the medicine field, "Is this a spirit grass?"
"Spirit grass?" Of course, Lin Chen, who was an outsider, had never heard of such a thing, he was immediately very interested, and Ah Chang also looked at Yu Yue on the side with a confused expression.
"It's Lingcao, I've seen it before," the fat man said affirmatively after thinking about it.
"Oh?" Senior Brother Xiao seemed a little surprised, and glanced at the fat man and Yu Yue, he didn't expect these two people to recognize them, after all, this is something that can only be accessed when entering the mortal stage.
"That's right, this is the spirit grass, the most basic alchemy plant. Surprised to surprised, Senior Brother Xiao still decided to explain to everyone, "Spirit grass can be refined into a spirit power pill, this pill can replenish your own spiritual power at any time, and the effect is even comparable to a high-grade spirit stone." ”
"High-grade spirit stones?" After Lin Chen heard what Senior Brother Xiao said, he silently doubted in his heart, he seemed to have heard such a statement before, knowing that spirit stones were divided into three kinds of low-level and high-grade spirit stones, but he had not seen any other level spirit stones except for the low-level spirit stones he owned.
"There are a total of sixteen medicinal fields here, and each of you will be responsible for four in the future," Senior Brother Xiao pointed to a small wooden house on the side and a nearby path, and continued, "There are several wooden barrels here, and you can walk along the road with the wooden barrels, and you can see a small pond at the end. ”
"Don't forget! You must use the water from that pond to water these spiritual grasses, and remember to do it once in the morning and once in the evening" After saying this, Senior Brother Xiao's expression was very serious, "Don't remember my words, otherwise I'm sure that the assessment will definitely have nothing to do with you." ”
When they first heard that Senior Brother Xiao asked them to water every day, Lin Chen and the others were still a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, this was an assessment, but in the end, when they heard what Senior Brother Xiao meant, could it be that this is not an assessment?
"Senior Brother Xiao, may I ask if this is our assessment?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, and the three people next to him also showed a puzzled expression, obviously wanting to know the answer as well.
"No, we have to wait for the Outer Gate Elder to arrange, now I just arrange for you to do something for the sect first" Senior Brother Xiao thought for a while and replied, "But if you don't want to, you can go to the big hall yesterday to find Elder Xia, and he will arrange for you to go back to Demon Rock City." ”
Hearing Senior Brother Xiao say this, Lin Chen and the four of them were obviously taken aback, of course they understood the meaning of Senior Brother Xiao's words, which meant that if you didn't want to do it, they would send you home, and don't think about the assessment, and they wouldn't let you stay.
"Is it the same for everyone else?" the fat man quickly asked again.
"I don't know about this, but it should be about the same, don't complain, I remember that last time I took a group I took was assigned to clean the toilet" Senior Brother Xiao said with a weird smile on his face, "Is there any other problem? ”
Seeing that Lin Chen and the four of them didn't speak again, Senior Brother Xiao immediately turned around and left.
"Don't forget what I said", as his back gradually disappeared from the eyes of Lin Chen and the others, only this sentence floated in their ears.
"Brothers, what should I do?" the fat man asked, seeing the obviously sluggish few people beside him.
"What else can I do? fetch water and farm" Yu Yue said with some complaints, "Didn't you listen to him? dare not do it and get out immediately, alas, I really regret not listening to my dad now" Yu Yue sighed after speaking.
"By the way, fat man, aren't you a relation? I remember that your cousin is an inner disciple, why don't you ask what the situation is" Lin Chen glanced at the fat man beside him and said.
"Come on, my cousin doesn't have a good impression of me, not to mention that we are now located on the side of the sect, I don't know how far away from the inner gate is. The fat man glanced at Lin Chen and replied.
"Then there's nothing to say, let's go" Lin Chen patted the shoulders of the three of them separately and shrugged.
"Let's go, take the bucket" Ah Chang rarely replied this time, but he felt that it was nothing, because he had never done such a thing at home before.
Lin Chen and the others were quite envious of his mentality, after all, they finally came to the Tianyun Sect, thinking that they would be able to get the exercises, pills, and spiritual objects immediately, and take off one step on the road of cultivation, but they didn't expect to be arranged to be arranged to work as coolies.
"Alas," the three of them sighed, and followed Ah Chang towards the wooden house with the barrel.
The four people carrying the bucket quickly came to the pond along the path pointed out by Senior Brother Xiao.
The pond is only a few meters in diameter, and the surface of the pond is covered with a thin layer of mist, through which you can see the crystal clear water.
"At first glance, this water is not ordinary, no wonder Senior Brother Xiao said that he must use the water here to water the medicine field" Looking at the pond in front of him, Lin Chen said directly.
"I think it's good for us to bathe with the water from here," the fat man said, revealing his trademark expression.
"It's... I'm afraid it's not good," Chang muttered quietly.
"The fat man is right, anyway, Senior Brother Xiao didn't say no" Yu Yue was obviously angry, after all, he was a rich son, but he was called here to work as a coolie.
"Let's talk about this later, let's fetch water first" Lin Chen shook the wooden bucket in his hand, and then made a smug expression, indicating the storage ring on his hand.
"He didn't say he wouldn't let us use this."
Hearing what Lin Chen said, the three of them were stunned for a moment at first, and then reacted.
"Hahaha, Chengzi, you're smart!", several people immediately burst out laughing.
It's just that this laughter didn't last long, when Lin Chen and the others filled a bucket of water, they all found that their storage rings couldn't be opened!
"It's... What's going on" Yu Yue was taken aback, after all, he had a lot of things stored in his ring, and Lin Chen's face was not very good.
"It should be that a formation has been used near this medicine field, so that someone can prevent someone from using the storage ring to steal a large amount of spirit grass", the fat man thought about it and said immediately, he seemed to have heard his cousin talk about it before.
"It should be" Lin Chen also recovered from the state just now at this time, "I also opened the storage ring in the morning where we lived, so what the fat man said should be right."
After thinking about it, a few people did feel that what the fat man said was reasonable, but everyone's faces were not very good-looking, after all, this meant that this bucket would have to be lifted by themselves in the future.
