"Autumn harvesting is the ...... of picking herbs in autumn"

Senior Brother Liao smiled slightly, and then told the story of Qiu Cai.

It turns out that most of the medicinal decoctions and pills refined by Xingyun Sect come from their own medicine fields, but there are also some herbs that cannot be cultivated artificially and can only be picked from the wild.

Ordinary wild herbs are just that, you can hire medicine farmers to go up the mountain to collect them, but rare herbs only grow in the deep mountains and old forests, on the cliffs.

In addition to the dangerous terrain, this kind of place is often accompanied by fierce beasts and even strange beasts, and only martial artists can have such skills.

To pick these rare herbs, you must not only be proficient in martial arts, but also be bold and careful, and be astute.

At first, the sect sent disciples from the outer courtyard and martial artists who had already left the school to do these things, but later it was gradually discovered that those who harvested abundantly in the picking were basically the best among the disciples, and they also went farther than others in the future martial arts.

The sect used it as a selection system, setting up rewards and punishments, and if you can rank in the forefront of picking, you can get rewarded pills.

Over time, it became a tradition.

Every year on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, it is the season when a variety of rare herbs bloom and bear fruit, and the disciples of the outer courtyard, the dancing elephant courtyard and the inner courtyard will go into the mountains to collect medicines on this day.

"Got it? Collecting medicine is not just for the sect, there are rewards for doing a good job. ”

Senior Brother Liao said with a smile.

I see.

Zhao Lin gave a deep salute and thanked him: "Thank you, senior brother, for solving your doubts, ask more, what are the rewards for picking?" I think the decoction we usually drink is already very good. ”

Senior Brother Liao and Senior Brother Gu couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and the former smiled: "Senior Brother Zhao has just entered the sect, and it is understandable that he thinks that Guiyuan Soup and Bazhen Soup are good, but to tell the truth, compared to the rewarded pills, these two decoctions are still far behind. ”

Senior Brother Gu also smiled: "The rewards are slightly different every year, but as long as you can rank in the top ten in the September pick, there will be a medicinal bath for washing the scripture soup." ”

"Senior Brother Zhao probably doesn't know what the Scripture Washing Soup is, we Qi Realm martial artists, what we cultivate is the meridian acupoints."

"The qi realm re-cultivates the yang vein, the second re-cultivates the yin vein, and the third re-cultivates the governor. Among them, the yang vein is the best to cultivate, and the yin vein is second, only Ren Du, although the relevant acupoints are the least, but also the most obscure. ”

"Many disciples have been wandering in the Qi Realm Double for several years, but they can't even find the entrance to Ren Du!"

Zhao Lin didn't speak, just nodded slightly, he really knew this, the Yin vein was indeed much more difficult to open up than the Yang vein.

The senior brother of Liuhemen, Yuan Cheng and Chu Liu have all stayed in the double level of the qi realm for many years, and they still can't see the possibility of entering the triple layer.

Senior Brother Gu continued: "This scripture washing soup is to stimulate the twelve meridians and the two veins of Rendu, and every time you quench and wash it, the meridians will show one more point. ”

Saying that, he sighed, "It's a pity that although the Jingjing Washing Soup is a good thing, the medicinal materials used are too rare and cannot be shared by everyone, so it can only be obtained by ranking high in picking." ”

Senior Brother Liao said: "This is only the top ten rewards, if you can rank in the top five, or even the top three, there will be heavier rewards." ”

Zhao Lin was greatly moved when he heard this, and asked, "Are all the disciples picking on the same mountain?" ”

Senior Brother Liao shook his head and said, "How is that possible?" Most of the disciples in the outer court are in the power realm and qi realm, while the disciples in the inner court are all in the blood realm, and it is too unfair to put the two together. ”

"When picking, the sect will assign the mountain according to the cultivation, and our disciples of the Dancing Elephant Academy and the three disciples of the Qi Realm in the outer courtyard are divided into the same mountain."

"The reward I just mentioned is also for us, the rewards will be different between the disciples of the Force Realm and the Blood Realm."

Zhao Lin thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a question: "May I ask the two senior brothers, since we are both picking on the same mountain, then the harvest is naturally very small." ”

"Will there be people who are strong in force, but because of bad luck, they don't pick many herbs, so they run to grab other people's harvests, or even ...... Murder and medicine? ”

Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Liao were shocked, but they didn't expect Zhao Lin to get to the point, and after a while, the former said: "Senior Brother Zhao is really powerful, this kind of thing does happen." ”

"The sect does not prohibit competition, and even encourages it, which is also one of the purposes of the assessment. But ......"

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Gu changed his words, "It's absolutely not okay to kill!" ”

"Once the sect finds that someone has died, and it is caused by man-made, it will definitely be traced to the end. As long as the Yuan Realm martial artist makes a move, even if he is looking for the breath that remains, he can pull people out. ”

"In the past, there were indeed cases of mutilating fellow disciples in order to snatch herbs, and the murderers were all found without exception and killed with a cane!"

Zhao Lin nodded lightly, and glanced at Yun Zong Xinggao in his heart, he was more particular about doing things, and there was a trace of warmth in it, instead of letting his disciples fight each other like raising Gu.

This is undoubtedly good news.

There are many strange beasts in Yanyun Mountain, but the Xingyun Sect lists all the places where the strange beasts haunt as forbidden places, and prohibits disciples from entering and leaving.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to go into the mountains to look for strange beasts.

It's August, and there's still a month left before the autumn harvest.

Strive to complete the expansion of the last acupuncture point of Shi Xiaoquan during this time, so that the combat power can be further improved.

Even if it wasn't for the beast, the reward of Guang Qiucai was enough for him to fight.

"What about Harumi?"

Now that he understood what was going on with Qiucai, Zhao Lin asked about the spring bi mentioned earlier.

"The spring competition is a competition of all the disciples of the Dancing Elephant Academy, and the top five and the bottom five are determined."

"The top five also have elixir rewards, but they are not as rich as Qiu Cai, and as for the last five, they will be directly kicked out of the Dancing Elephant Courtyard and replaced by the disciples of the outer courtyard!"

Senior Brother Liao said casually, "Senior Brother Zhao don't worry, this rule is only for disciples who have entered the Dancing Elephant Academy for one year. If you just entered the Dancing Elephant Academy, and you haven't achieved anything and are kicked out, wouldn't you be wronged? ”

"Kick out of the Elephant Dance?"

Zhao Lin repeated this sentence and nodded slowly.

The management of the disciples in the Dancing Elephant Academy is quite loose, and the disciples are not allowed to enter and leave the mountain gate on weekdays, and they are ignored for occasional absences.

If a disciple wants to visit his family or even go to the city to play, he can go down the mountain at any time.

But that's just scratching the surface.

Elders review the disciples' cultivation progress every month.

Because of the existence of the magical technique of "Zhaoyu Gong", the elders do not need to engage in a martial arts competition or a troublesome test, and can directly use their vitality to probe the cultivation of their disciples.

If a disciple's cultivation has stagnated for a long time, whether it is because of laziness and slackness or limited talent, as long as he fails to pass the test a few times, he will directly return to the outer courtyard.

After all, the Dancing Elephant Academy was established to cultivate Blood Realm disciples, and the treatment was far better than that of the Outer Courtyard, so if it was not worthy, it could only give way to others.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the Dancing Elephant Courtyard seems to be loose and tight, the competition is quite fierce, there is only one way to go, and everyone is desperately cultivating, for fear of falling behind.
