The March period finally arrived, and on this day, Deacon Zhou and a rookie miscellaneous disciple came to the herbal medicine field on time to take over Su Chen's task of guarding the ten acres of medicine garden.

The hapless little handyman followed Zhou Contempt's ass with his head down, obviously unhappy, but helpless. This is the task assigned to him by Zhou Contempt, and he can't refuse.

Su Chen counted the days, and was already outside the humble fence gate of the herb field, waiting for Zhou Contempt and the others to arrive.

"Deacon Zhou, you're old!"

Su Chen saw Zhou Yanyan bring people over, and said politely.

He thought that he was about to leave this place, and looked at the medicine garden, somewhat reluctantly.

Since watering the herbs with turbid water, in the past three months, guarding the medicine field has no longer been a boring and boring job for Su Chen.

During this time, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, skyrocketed, and his dantian was in the beginning of success. Moreover, he has saved medicinal materials that can be used for more than half a year, and can continue to be used for body quenching and cultivation in the future.

It can be said that this herb field can be regarded as the place where he started to soar. Now, after all, he's going to leave this place.

"Well, the little brother has been fine for the past few months, wait for Deacon Ben to check and accept!"

Zhou Yanyan didn't look at Su Chen with his hands behind his back, and was preparing to make some remarks, wanting to find some faults in the field, so as to deduct some of Su Chen's wages.

Although the copper coins were not much, this was his greatest pleasure as a deacon of the Miscellaneous Ministers' Hall. Although he was nicknamed "Zhou Contempt" by the many small handymen in the hall, he didn't care at all, but was proud of it.

At this time, Zhou Xianyan inadvertently glanced at Su Chen, who was waiting, but unexpectedly saw Su Chen's full of energy, and even showed reluctance to the ten acres of medicinal fields in his eyes.

Zhou Yanyan realized that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

It's so unusual!

You must know that the chores of tending to the herb fields are so boring that there is no one to talk to, and staying alone in such a place for three months is like going to prison, which will make any miscellaneous disciple want to die.

In the past, those miscellaneous disciples received this task, and after three months of survival, they all looked extremely decadent, and seeing him come was like seeing a great savior, and they couldn't wait to quickly hand over the task and leave.

Therefore, there is such a time limit in the Miscellaneous Service Hall, and the miscellaneous disciples can only arrange the miscellaneous work of taking care of the herbal medicine fields once in three years, and the time limit is three months at a time. If it takes too long, any of the handymen guarding the medicine field will not be able to stand it.

Zhou Yanyan has never seen a look like Su Chen, after staying here for three months, instead of becoming tired and decadent, he is more radiant than when he came, and he looks refreshed as if he is playing in the mountains and rivers in the back mountains.

Looking at the ruddy complexion on Su Chen's face, I am afraid that the qi and blood of the lower dantian have grown greatly.

Zhou Yanyan's level was limited, and he couldn't tell Su Chen's true martial arts cultivation just from the complexion on his face.

He was suddenly suspicious, and looked around vigilantly. Soon, in front of the thatched hut, I saw a row of ten hardwood stakes for practice, all of which were broken to the ground with one palm, and the ground was full of crushed wood chips.

Zhou's contemptuous look couldn't help but change.

Looking at these practice hardwood stakes, each one is at least arm thick and hard. I'm afraid that if you don't have the strength of more than 100 catties, you will never be able to split it with one palm.

This means that Su Chen has broken through the cultivation of the lower dantian and reached the realm of a third-rate martial artist?

"You... The beginning of the lower dantian?"

Zhou Yanyan's face was ugly, and he was finally seventy or eighty percent sure that Su Chen had broken through the third-rate realm.

"Yes!"

Su Chen nodded with a faint smile, and had no intention of hiding the matter.

As long as the disciples of the Miscellaneous Service Hall reach the third-rate realm, they can be automatically promoted to a low-level deacon according to the rules.

In order to be convenient in the future in the miscellaneous service hall and be able to choose the miscellaneous tasks independently, he also needs to become a low-level deacon as soon as possible. When I leave the field, I will go back to the miscellaneous hall to be promoted.

And he had already hidden the remaining medicinal materials, even if Zhou Yanyan suspected it, it was useless, anyway, he couldn't grasp any of his handles.

Zhou Contempt heard Su Chen's admit, he couldn't help jumping up, trembling his hands, pointing at Su Chen's spittle, and shouted excitedly: "This~, how is this possible! You are a little handyman who has just joined the Medicine King Gang for half a year and has only been in the Miscellaneous Service Hall for three months, how can you break through the third-rate realm in such a short time? ! ”

At the beginning, it took him four or five years to be promoted to a low-level deacon. It took another fifteen years of hard work to become an intermediate deacon.

Su Chen, this kid, has entered the miscellaneous service hall, and it has only been three months since he guarded the medicine field here, so he has just become a dantian, and it is too fast.

This made Zhou Yanyan jealous and annoyed in his heart.

This is definitely problematic, exceeding the cultivation speed of most miscellaneous disciples. Unless... It is the use of quenching herbs to assist in quenching cultivation!

"Oh no! he must be so daring.... stole the quenching herbs to quench the body, so he stepped into the third-rate realm in just three months. Right?"

Zhou Yanyan was seriously suspicious, and when he thought of this, his face suddenly changed greatly.

Su Chen's look is radiant, and he is still reluctant to give up on this medicine field, which is the biggest proof.

Zhou couldn't help but squint, glaring at Su Chen viciously, and his heart was filled with anger.

The disciples in the gang steal herbs, and once they are caught in the trap, they will be severely punished by the gang rules. The charlatan gangs will not send thieves to the government. They all set up their own torture halls and hung and beat the thieves to death as punishment.

If the amount of medicinal materials stolen is too large, the consequences can be very serious.

He may even be implicated as a mid-level deacon.

Dare to steal the medicinal materials in the gang under his contemptuous eyes, this is looking for death!

Zhou Yan walked around Su Chen, and sniffed carefully with his nose.

But Su Chen had already prepared, and he bathed in rice water yesterday, with only a faint and refreshing breath on his body, and no smell of herbs.

Hmph, boy, it's so nice to hide!

Think that if you wash off the smell of herbs on your body, you can't find fault with you?

But under the fiery eyes of my contempt, everything will be revealed, what's the use!

Zhou Xian's eyes showed a cruel look, and warned: "Little brother, on the way here three months ago, this deacon kindly warned you not to touch the herbs in the medicine garden.

The cruelty of the torture hall of the elders of the Medicine King Gang, the pain of cramping and pulling out the bones and lighting the sky lantern, is not something that you can imagine as a small handyman.... If you take the initiative to atone for your sins, this deacon can still help you intercede and suffer a little less. ”

"Deacon Zhou, why don't I understand a word of your old words. You'd better accept the herbs first, and then tell me about it!"

Su Chen said lightly.

Even if Zhou Yanyan suspected something and sued the Medicine King Gang Elder Jietang that he had stolen the medicinal materials, he had to come up with direct ironclad evidence to speak.

The elders would only care if he had stolen medicinal herbs, and how could they have the leisure to explore why he had broken through the Lower Dantian realm.

You must know that there are thousands of disciples in the entire Medicine King Gang, and most of the newcomer inner disciples are as short as two or three months, and as long as four or five months, they break through the lower dantian and step into the third-rate realm.

And a rookie miscellaneous servant disciple in the Miscellaneous Service Hall, it took a total of eight months to be promoted to the third rank since he joined the gang, which was a trivial matter, more than twice as slow as the inner disciple. Except for the disciples of the Miscellaneous Service Hall who would be a little amazed at Su Chen's cultivation speed, how could the people of the other halls take it seriously.

The elders of the Medicine King Gang are busy with affairs, and they will not have the leisure to care about such a small matter as "why did a low-level handyman break through the third-rate realm in eight months".

Su Chen was not afraid of Zhou Contempt at all, and when he became a low-level deacon, he could choose his own tasks in the future, and Zhou Contempt had no way to find an opportunity to make things difficult for him.

"Hmph, I don't know whether to live or die! Wait and see, you have great ability, and I can find out your handle with contempt!"

Zhou snorted coldly, took out a thick herbal medicine account book from his arms, and came to the herbal medicine field to compare them one by one, counting the medicinal materials in the ten acres of fields.

In order to prevent the disciples from stealing from themselves, all the herbs in the herb field that have reached the age of one year, including their quantity and specific year, are clearly remembered in the account books.

Only young seedlings do not go through the inventory.

After all, they don't have the slightest medicinal power, and they can't be used to quench the body into medicine, and they are not worth a few copper plates. Moreover, the mortality rate of seedlings in the initial stage is relatively high, and the number is large, even if a small number of seedlings die, it is a normal loss and will not be recorded in the account books.

Only if the medicinal materials are lost for more than one year, the wages will be deducted. If you lose ten years of medicinal herbs, you will be punished heavily.

Zhou Yanyan walked from the head of the field to the end of the field, carefully counting the account books and the herbs in the field one by one, but he was stunned.

More than one year of herbs in the medicine field, half a plant is not missing!

This~, what's going on?

There is no shortage of medicinal materials, but this kid has improved by leaps and bounds in just a few months, and he has finished cultivating the lower dantian, which is also too strange.

What went wrong?

Zhou Xuan's eyes were sweating profusely, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he repeated the count twice, but it was still the same result.

The new miscellaneous disciple was also full of astonishment, not understanding what was going on. He looked at Su Chen with great envy, he was originally a junior handyman who was just a newcomer like him, but in a blink of an eye, he became a low-level deacon, and his status in the miscellaneous servant hall was a cut higher from then on, and he no longer had to endure Zhou's contempt.

"Deacon Zhou, how do you see the herbs growing in these fields?"

Su Chen watched with his hands on his sleeves, and waited until Zhou Xianyan counted several times and couldn't find the slightest problem, then asked with a smile.

"It's okay~, it's okay!"

Zhou was completely stunned, holding the account book, and sat on the ridge in despair. He didn't understand what was going on, and with his keen eyes, he couldn't find out what was wrong.

He didn't even have the heart to pick out the herbs in the field.

And I can't find fault with it, the medicinal materials in these ten acres of medicinal fields are growing well. Water enough, and water enough fertilizer. The place where the soil should be loosened is also often loosened, which shows that Su Chen is very careful to take care of these ten acres of medicinal fields.

Even if he picks bones in his eggs and deducts dozens of copper coins. That's a lot of money for a man who is about to be promoted to a junior deacon!

"Deacon Zhou, if it's okay, then complete the task handover. I went to the Miscellaneous Servants' Hall to get paid... By the way, I also have to change a low-level deacon sign by the way!"

Su Chen smiled.

The smell of herbs on his body was covered by other smells, and all the used medicinal residues were thrown into the furnace by him and burned, and Zhou Yanyan naturally couldn't find anything.

He was also relieved that he had finally handed over the task.

Even Zhou Contempt couldn't find a problem, and naturally no one could know about him using turbid water to water the seedlings to quench his body and cultivate.

I don't know what to do.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to sell the rest of the herbs.

The medicinal material business in the thirteen counties of Wu County is an industry monopolized by the Medicine King Gang, and it is difficult for others to get involved. Even if it is a disciple of this gang, it is not possible to resell medicinal herbs in private.

Including the pharmacy in Gusu County, almost eighty percent of them are industries under the name of the Medicine King Gang. The remaining twenty percent are also closely related to the Medicine King Gang, and they will never dare to offend the Medicine King Gang.

If you sell herbs in private, you will immediately be suspected by the pharmacy of the origin of the herbs, and the Medicine King Gang will track it down, and if you can't explain it, you will definitely be unlucky.
