Chapter 113, Medicine Farmer
The fat store manager's expression suddenly gloomy when he heard this, and said: "Don't hide it, little brother, you are very similar to my deceased brother, I see you as if I saw him, so I can't help but want to help you." ”
Lin Yi was speechless for a while, this kind of thing is too bloody, but no matter what, the fat store manager did provide him with a lot of help, which he will not forget.
Lin Yi is a person with clear grievances, and he will definitely repay others for their kindness to him, so he arched his hand to the fat store manager and said: "Brother Dao is grateful for my help, and if there is a need in the future, I will definitely do my best." ”
Bidding farewell to the fat store manager, Lin Yi finally lived in the guest room, although the room was very small and the environment was very ordinary, but fortunately, the price was cheap, one spirit stone a day, Lin Yi could live for seven days.
"Spirit stones are the hard currency of the cultivation realm, if I want to live here, I have to earn more spirit stones."
And the only way for Lin Yi to earn spirit stones in front of him is to go to Juying Hall to take the task.
So, the next day, he rushed to Juyingtang early in the morning to find a suitable task for himself.
Of course, in order to reduce trouble, Lin Yi disguised the whole process, and no one knew that he was the one who completed three tasks in one go yesterday.
Lin Yi will not take on the task of finding the Night Spirit Grass anymore, it is too conspicuous and easy to be targeted.
So he began to look for other tasks.
"Oh? This seems like a good task. ”
Lin Yi picked up a white jade plaque with the task written on it: "Grow medicinal herbs." ”
"The old man said before that the white jade plate reward is the least, and it seems that it may not even be ten pieces of jade, but it is better to be safe."
Lin Yi took off the jade plaque and went to the registration office to register the task.
"Go to the medicine field outside Taoyuan Town, find Li Dong, and he will tell you how to do it."
The registered monk threw the jade plaque to Lin Yi and ignored him.
Lin Yi put away the jade plaque and was about to leave, but saw that in the corner, the old man and Xiaolan were observing the monks around them, as if they were looking for someone.
"Hehe, you can't find me even if you stay here for a year!"
Lin Yi laughed in his heart.
When he came to the outside of Taoyuan Town, Lin Yi looked around and found that there was a large medicine field not far away, and he immediately walked over.
"This fellow Daoist is Li Dong?"
Lin Yi arched his hand at a man dressed as a peasant woman and asked, "In the lower jade, I took over the task of Daoyou in Juying Hall." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the jade plaque with both hands.
Li Dong wiped his sweat, took the jade plaque and said with a smile: "Finally, someone came to help, otherwise, I would really be too busy alone." ”
Lin Yi looked at the green herbs around him and asked, "What does Daoist need me to do?" ”
"It's very simple, help me get rid of insects and fertilize them, so that my herbs can thrive."
Li Dong took out a dry tobacco pouch and asked while smoking, "Can Fang Daoyou know the technique of rainfall?" ”
"No, it won't."
"Well, it's okay, I have a copy of "Spiritual Qi Turning Rain" here, you can take it to learn."
After taking Li Dong's exercise book, Lin Yi thanked him, although this spell is of little use and can only be used for farming, but for Lin Yi, who can only use two spells, it is also good to learn one more spell.
After that, Li Dong taught Lin Yi the method of removing insects, and told him that every day from sunrise to sunset, and if he did a good job, he could get three spirit stones every day.
"It's only three dollars a day...... It's a white task, it's really low! ”
Lin Yi complained in his heart, but he did not refuse.
Although this job is hard and tiring, it is better to be stable, because no one will accept such a small task, and no one will compete with Lin Yi for a job.
What's more, this job is very safe, don't look at the medicine field outside Taoyuan Town, but Lin Yi found that this Li Dong seems to have something to do with Qingxuanmen, and there are often law enforcement teams coming here to hang around, probably worried that someone will make trouble.
Therefore, Lin Yi's safety is guaranteed.
"Just at this time, I will raise my cultivation to the peak of Qi training, and then use the accumulated spirit stones to buy myself a better set of equipment, and then see if I can get the foundation building pill and quickly become a foundation building period monk."
With this thought, Lin Yi settled down in Taoyuan Town.
As soon as the morning dawns tomorrow, he will come to the medicine field and work diligently.
After sunset, he returned to the inn and meditated to improve his cultivation.
A week later, Lin Yi used the remuneration he received to buy a magic weapon that he had wanted for a long time - the Qiankun bag.
"With it, it will be much easier to load things in the future."
Lin Yi looked at the Qiankun bag in his hand and thought to himself.
That night, Lin Yi injected spiritual energy into the leaves, and in the blink of an eye, the leaves continued to grow in size, and finally became the size of a small boat.
Lin Yi wiped his sweat and said secretly: "My cultivation has improved a lot during this time, and I am close to the peak of the Qi Refining Period, but all the spiritual energy in my body is injected into this leaf, and it is still like a bottomless pit, with no end in sight!" ”
"The current form is already the limit of what I can do at the moment."
Feeling sighing in his heart, Lin Yi got on the boat and controlled it to fly towards the plain where the Night Spirit Grass was located.
"I haven't been there in a few months, I wonder if any new Eidolin grass has grown?"
Lin Yi remembered that after he finished picking the Night Spirit Grass, these plants withered rapidly, and finally completely retracted into the ground.
However, he believes that the weeds cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.
Even wild grasses have tenacious vitality, and this spirit grass will not die like this, it will definitely grow one stubble after another, just like leeks.
In order to prevent himself from being followed, Lin Yi made a lot of detours in the air, always guarding behind him, for fear that he would make the same mistake as the old man and lead the wolf into the house.
Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen, and Lin Yi finally arrived at his destination safely.
"Wow! It's grown! ”
Lin Yi saw the familiar green grass on the grass, and his mood suddenly improved.
He had already asked, the price of the night spirit grass on the market was about the same as the spirit stone given by the bounty task, and it was too conspicuous to take the task and it was easy to be targeted, so he planned to sell it directly, anyway, the money was the same.
"Hmm...... These nocturnal grasses are somewhat malnourished and do not develop very well. ”
After Lin Yi carefully examined it, he slowly shook his head.
These days, he is not working in vain, and he has also learned a lot of knowledge about growing medicinal herbs from Li Dong.
"Maybe it's because of the recent drought, so the night spirit grass is a little short of water, don't worry, I'll water you."
Lin Yi cast a spell, and suddenly a rain mist condensed in the sky above the Night Spirit Grass, and a light rain fell, moistening the Night Spirit Grass.
Looking up at the slowly rising moon, Lin Yi smiled slightly: "Tonight is the time of harvest." ”
He had already counted, there were a total of nine Night Spirit Grasses here, two more than last time, probably newly grown.
"If these night spirit grasses can bloom, then I can earn ninety spirit stones! That's not a small amount! ”
Lin Yi's heart was hot, and he eagerly looked forward to the night spirit grass blooming.
Soon, the moon rose, and the beautiful scene was presented in front of Lin Yi's eyes again, and the night spirit grass was in full bloom!
After admiring it beautifully, Lin Yi began to harvest.
"Yes, nine night spirit grasses are in hand!"
Lin Yi smiled, after these spirit grasses were sold, his life was more relaxed, and the magic weapons he had always wanted to buy could also be bought.
"It's a pity that this night spirit grass can't be planted, otherwise, I'll get a medicine field and raise a few!"
These wild night spirit grasses may be discovered at any time, so Lin Yi has always been worried.
With some regret, he urged the boat to return to his lodgings before dawn.
The old man and Xiaolan squatted in Juying Hall for more than a month, but they didn't find any trace of the person last time, and finally gave up.
One day, Lin Yi saw that they had left Taoyuan Town, and they never came back, and he laughed in his heart: "I said a long time ago, you can't find me." ”
Year after year, Lin Yi lived in Taoyuan Town for three years, and he has been diligent in farming, which won Li Dong's favor.
On this day, Li Dong called Lin Yi over and announced good news to him.
"Fang Daoyou, I have been observing you for the past three years, and I think you are a very serious and responsible person, so I recommended you to the elders of the Qingxuanmen, and they allowed you to join the outer department of the Qingxuanmen, and become a medicine farmer like me, are you willing?"
Lin Yi didn't agree immediately, but asked about the details inside, and after Li Dong's explanation, he roughly understood.
The so-called Qingxuanmen exterior system is actually the logistics department, such as refining pills, creating magic weapons, planting medicinal materials, and so on...... They do not participate in the battle, they are safe and secure, and they can get a certain amount of money every month, as long as the Qingxuanmen does not fall, they can always stay in the door to work, which is equivalent to an iron rice bowl.
Of course, the logistics department and the front-line department can't be compared, the combatants are all within the Qingxuanmen, and they can get more money and resources, after all, they have to shed blood for the sect, so the rewards must be rich.
However, Lin Yi is not blushing at this, he knows his own situation best, and living is the truth!
"How? Fang Daoyou, are you willing? Li Dong asked again, and Lin Yi immediately expressed his willingness.
Qingxuanmen is a big sect of cultivating immortals, and it has a good reputation, and it has never owed the people of the sect a lot of money, I heard that it also provides a cave house, which is equivalent to a house to live in, where to find this good thing?
"Hehe, that's good, I'll take you to Qingxuanmen tomorrow to meet the elders, and when the time comes, he will arrange for you."
The next day, Lin Yi followed Li Dong to the foot of a high mountain southwest of Taoyuan Town, and it is said that Qingxuanmen is on this mountain.
The first thing that catches your eye is a magnificent mountain gate, made of more than a dozen huge blue strip stones, engraved with a text symbol that Lin Yi can't understand.
There is a winding path leading to the top of the mountain in the door, climbing the steps, on both sides are the ancient trees that go straight into the clouds, under the sun, the leaves and shadows are swaying, and the artistic conception is deep and secluded.
The two walked to the mountainside, and the scene in front of them suddenly opened up, it was a clear blue pool, and the water rippled, like a jasper.
Next to the waterhole, the bamboo forest is cultivated, verdant and dripping, and the green leaves are swaying and rustling with the wind.
There is also a path in the forest, which zigzags and zigzags and does not know where it leads, this scene makes Lin Yi like it very much, as if it can wash people's hearts, but he can't stop, and follows Li Dong to continue to climb up.
Walking up the stone steps, a large group of immortal birds that Lin Yi couldn't name suddenly flew overhead, their colorful and beautiful feathers shining in the sun.
Continuing to trek up the mountain, I saw a large area of cultivation sites.
Farther away, one can see a towering tower, towering into the sky, with glazed tiles on all floors, exuding a multicolored glow.
According to Li Dong's introduction, the interior of this cultivation tower is a place for monks to retreat and practice, and the walls are painted with magic circles and charms, flowing with the breath of spiritual power.
Under the tower, there are several monks who are closing their eyes to recuperate, they are the guardians of this cultivation tower, exuding a powerful aura, Lin Yi speculates that their cultivation may be in the foundation building period!
The two finally came to the top, there is a magnificent palace here, majestic and majestic, resplendent gold, this is the main hall of the Qing Xuanmen - Zhengdao Hall.
informed a monk of his intentions, and the other party asked the two to wait outside the hall, and after a while, he saw an old man walking out slowly, and Li Dong and Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Medicine farmer Li Dong, I have seen the Great Elder."
Lin Yi also followed: "In the jade below, I have seen the Great Elder." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, and asked, "You are Fang Yu?" Well, the cultivation is a bit low, but Li Dong said that you have a stable heart and have worked in the medicine field for three years, and you have never given up, which is very good. ”
He took a jade plate and handed it to Lin Yi: "This is the identity card of the Qingxuanmen, take it, inject your aura into it, and your information will be recorded in the Qingxuanmen, and you can use this jade card to enter and exit the sect in the future, and you can also use it to receive sect news and contact the same sect." ”
"Great Elder Xie!"
Lin Yi took the jade plaque and entered his aura into it, the jade plaque emitted a faint white light, and his name appeared on it.
At the same time, some information also appeared in Lin Yi's mind, which was the news that Qingxuanmen had passed on to all the disciples.
"I feel that this jade brand is equivalent to a mobile phone."
Putting away the jade plate, the Great Elder said: "I have already passed the location of the medicine field where you are going to take office to your jade plate, go back and take a look for yourself, you must be in office within three days, there must be no mistake." ”
"Yes!"
Bidding farewell to the Great Elder, Lin Yi followed Li Dong to do some other things, and the two finally said goodbye at the foot of the mountain.
"Fang Daoyou, as a medicine farmer in Qingxuanmen, you must keep a few points in mind."
Before leaving, Li Dong reminded Lin Yi: "Every year, Qingxuanmen will send people to the medicine field to supervise, you must be good at hospitality, and you must satisfy the other party, otherwise, they will go back to report to the sect, saying that you have neglected your duties, you will be punished, at least you will lose your job as a medicine farmer, and at worst you will be executed, you must pay attention!" ”
"Thank you Li Daoyou for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
Seeing Li Dong away, Lin Yi also sat on the boat and flew towards his medicine field.
A few hours later, he finally arrived at his medicine field, only to be dumbfounded on the spot.
"Is this all deserted? Can you still grow medicine? ”
Looking at the overgrown medicine field in front of him, Lin Yi felt that his head was big for a while, and he looked at his residence again, which had already become a ruined wall.
Depressed, he sent a message to Li Dong, and Li Dong replied: "Unexpectedly, that medicine field has been destroyed, I still wondered at that time, why Zhao Daoyou, who was in charge of that medicine field, had no news, it seems that something happened to him, and even the medicine field was destroyed, alas! ”
Lin Yixin said don't sigh, what should I do?
