Chapter 32 Pick Up Tasks
"Take over the Baicao Garden in Qifeng Mountain, and hand over the required number of rare medicinal materials every year. Ye Shusheng looked at this task and muttered to himself. Although he didn't know how to take care of herbs, he still knew a little after all.
This Qifeng Mountain is relatively remote, and he can also deal with herbs, which naturally has a lot of help for him to refine pills or something, so this makes him excited.
Ye Shusheng looked up at Deacon Yu and said, "I like this work more, can Senior Brother Yu introduce one or two?"
After hearing Ye Shusheng's words, Deacon Yu came over with a smile. But when he saw the job Ye Shusheng had chosen, he looked slightly surprised.
"Senior brother, you should change another job, this task is not easy to complete!" Deacon Yu said very sincerely, but seeing that Ye Shusheng was a little puzzled, he continued to explain:
"Since this task was placed here a few years ago, many people have taken over it, but every disciple has messed up. Not only did they not get the reward, but they were all fined a lot of spirit stones, which can be said to be one of the most difficult tasks to complete here!"
After hearing this, Ye Shusheng muttered in his heart. But I still didn't plan to give up, so I asked very humbly:
"Senior brother, can you tell me what is so difficult about this work, why so many senior brothers have not completed it? Isn't it just to manage the herbs in the garden, is it also difficult?"
"Could it be that the nephew chose the medicine garden task of Senior Brother Sima?" The old man surnamed Ye on the side, after listening to the conversation between the two, frowned and interjected first.
"Isn't it! Senior Brother Ye just took a fancy to Uncle Sima's super difficult job. The middle-aged deacon also looked embarrassed.
"Master Ye, nephew, you can really choose! You actually took a fancy to the most troublesome job here at a glance. This work is a headache, and several disciples who have been forced to take on this task have complained to me for a long time. If Master Ye wants to know the details of this work, you can follow me to the inner hall to see the relevant records!" This gray-clothed Uncle Ye looked very arrogant to Ye Shusheng, and actually opened the door for him.
Ye Shusheng looked at him in some surprise, but he didn't say anything, made a flattered look, and followed Uncle Ye into a certain room behind the main hall, which was full of all kinds of files.
The old man surnamed Ye picked up the bamboo slip in the room and waved it gently, and then saw that the blue light on the slip flashed, and a scroll automatically flew into his hand, and then he turned his hand and handed the scroll to Ye Shusheng.
Ye Shusheng took the scroll and looked at it neatly.
The content of the scroll is not long, but it records the self-reported experiences of the previous disciples who took over the Medicine Garden, and the reasons for their failures. It didn't take much effort for Ye Shusheng to understand the content and difficulties of this work.
"How about it? Let's change another task! Although the reward for this work is very rich, it is indeed not something that ordinary disciples can accomplish. This Uncle Ye seemed to be very concerned and said to Ye Shusheng.
After Ye Shusheng pondered for a while, he shook his head decisively and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ye! But this job is very appetizing to me, so choose it!"
The old man heard the resoluteness in Ye Shusheng's words, and felt a little stunned, but he didn't say anything anymore, so he nodded and agreed. But he didn't immediately take Ye Shusheng out of the house, but after hesitating for a moment, he said something unnaturally.
"Senior nephew Ye, the last time we made the Tsukidan transaction, can we postpone the delivery of some of the items in the transaction, Uncle Shi, I was about to refine a furnace of Aiki Dan recently, and I am really a little tight on hand, I'm afraid it is not convenient. However, although the nephew can rest assured, as long as it takes a year and a half, the uncle can pay off all the items he owes. ”
When Ye Shusheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed,
"Since Uncle Shi is inconvenient, then you can give as much as you can, why mention anything to pay back later, this can be regarded as the filial piety of the younger generation to Uncle Shi!"
Do you think that the old man is the kind of person who repents his promise and does not keep his promise? The old man will never give the slightest bit of what the master and nephew promise. After listening to Ye Shusheng's words, the old man surnamed Ye was not only not happy, but turned his face blank, revealing an upright and gentlemanly expression.
After hearing this, Ye Shusheng understood what this uncle meant, this man was too thick-skinned, he obviously wanted to regret most of the items, but at this time, he still had to be a righteous gentleman, what a typical hypocrite!
Ye Shusheng couldn't bear it in his heart, and kept cursing secretly. But the smile on his face only lagged slightly, and he naturally changed to a sincere expression, and continued in a tone that he also felt numb:
In fact, the nephew felt that he had just entered the door, and such things were too extravagant for the juniors. Therefore, most of the items are temporarily placed at Uncle Shi's, and the younger generation will not need them at all for the time being. ”
After hearing Ye Shusheng say these duplicitous words, the expression of the old man surnamed Ye softened, and he bowed his head slightly: "There is some truth in what Senior Nephew Ye said! If the new disciples rely too much on these things outside their bodies, it will indeed hinder your cultivation greatly! Then do as you say, just leave some of the items here temporarily, and if you need them in the future, just come and get them!"
"Then there is Uncle Lao Ye!" Ye Shusheng smiled, but he was comforting himself over and over again in his heart. These are just things outside the body, and I can't afford to offend the old man in front of me now! When I have the opportunity in the future, I will ask for all the benefits back.
"Haha, let's go out!" the old man seemed to be in a better mood.
And the next thing is much easier. With the assistance of this Uncle Ye, Ye Shusheng got the jade medal for taking over the job very smoothly. Then, accompanied by the deacon, he set off to the Baicao Garden in Qifeng Mountain.
The old man surnamed Ye stood at the entrance of the hall of Baiji Hall, looking at Ye Shusheng's figure gradually flying away, his face became gloomy, and he was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
"Is Senior Brother Ye's heart a little soft?" a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.
"It's not a question of whether the heart is soft or not, but I feel that it always seems inappropriate to use such a method to deal with a beginner disciple. I'm also worried about what he will do if he goes behind his back to report this to the master!" said the old man without looking back.
"Hehe, whistleblower?" the man behind him sneered.
"What, isn't Senior Brother Wu worried?" the old man surnamed Ye finally turned around and said to the gloomy-looking Senior Brother Wu behind him.
"What's there to worry about! This kid didn't consciously say that he had left his belongings with you, as we had arranged in advance. It's not that he won't pay him back, it's just a temporary safekeeping! What does he have to denounce?" Senior Brother Wu said confidently.
"However, I really appreciate this kid! It's not easy to know how to advance and retreat so much at a young age! If it weren't for the fact that his qualifications were too poor and he was a pseudo-spiritual root, I really wanted to include him in the door!" Senior Brother Wu continued, with a look of regret on his face.
"Fortunately, this person is not a dead brain, otherwise he would have to use another method, which would be a lot more troublesome!"
"Okay, this kid has nothing to worry about! You and I will pinch him to death, just like he wants to pinch an ant to death. It's just that Senior Brother Ye doesn't have to break the bank this time, but don't forget to say something good in advance!" Senior Brother Wu suddenly changed the topic, and there was something else in his words.
"I won't forget, this aiki-dan will be half of you. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that my nephew and grandson also needed a large number of precious pills to assist him in the process of building the foundation, I really wouldn't have the cheekiness to ignore these things of the younger generation!"
When the old man surnamed Wu heard this, he smiled silently, and thought proudly:
"Since this Senior Brother Ye has done this kind of thing, it can be regarded as having a handle in his own hands, and he will not worry that the other party will not be biased towards himself in the future deliberations. ”
