The old man in gray was still squatting in front of the furnace in a daze, his eyes looking straight at the alchemy furnace, as if he hadn't heard Li Yi's words.

Just when Li Yi wanted to say it again, the gray-clothed old man suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed it in the void space, the flames of the stove below were suddenly extinguished, and the lid of the alchemy furnace rushed directly into the air, and a few green pills flew out of the pill furnace and fell into the hands of the gray-clothed old man.

After the Dan Gai was uncovered, Lin Chen only felt a heat wave rushing towards his face, turning into a shock wave and dispersing outward, Lin Chen and the two of them in the thatched hut were a little unsteady, and they took a few steps back, and the two looked at the gray-clothed old man with a surprised expression.

The old man in gray looked at the few green pills in his hand, his expression was slightly happy, and then he put them in a green vial, put them away and placed them on the table.

He finally raised his head and looked at Lin Chen and the others at the door.

"You are the disciples who accepted my mission?"

Li Yi looked at Yao Guzi and hurriedly clenched his fists, and said, "Exactly! We are all newly promoted outer disciples this year. ”

The gray-clothed old man looked at Li Yi and Lin Chen, his eyes flashed slightly, and he muttered softly, "New disciple ......"

"Yes, after the Outer Sect Disciple Conference today, we will rush to the Contribution Hall to receive your task, does Master Yaoguzi have any doubts about us? Please rest assured, although we are newly promoted disciples this year, we promise to complete the task for you!"

Li Yi patted his chest and said with an oath.

Yao Guzi smiled, then shook his head, "It's not, I'm just sighing, I've seen a lot of new disciples over the years, coming and going, going and coming, spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are too many people coming." After a pause, Master Yaoguzi continued, "Which region are you from, I haven't asked about recruiting new people for a long time, and I don't know much about it?"

Li Yi immediately replied, "Master Guzi, both of us are from Nuhaxing. ”

Yao Guzi showed a suddenly realized expression, "I see, I still know Nuha Xing, it's the back mine of my Divine Sword Sect." ”

Li Yi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you're right!"

Lin Chen had been watching from the side, and his face also showed a respectful look, but he didn't show too much enthusiasm.

Yao Guzi looked at Li Yi and continued, "Show your mission wooden card." ”

Li Yi stepped forward and handed the task card to Yao Guzi.

After a slight glance, Yao Guzi immediately pointed to the medicine garden outside the thatched hut, "My medicine garden is over there, you can go over now, just clean the weeds for me before dark, you can turn over the medicine soil a little if you have time, forget it if you don't have time." ”

Following Yao Guzi's fingers, the two saw a large medicine field outside the window of the thatched hut, which was the medicine garden they saw when they came over.

Yao Guzi looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, and continued to speak, "After all, you are new disciples, it would be very good to be able to clean up the weeds in my medicine garden!"

Li Yi glanced at Yaoguzi gratefully, it was not easy for him to meet such a good elder in the first task he had just received, and he was slightly moved in his heart and said, "Then thank you Master Yaoguzi! We will try our best to remove the grass and turn the soil for you!"

Yao Guzi nodded, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Go ahead, don't delay." ”

Lin Chen and the others immediately left the hut and went straight to the medicine garden.

As soon as the two entered the medicine garden, a burst of medicinal fragrance came to their noses, the soil of the medicine garden was full of flowers and plants, but many of them were planted one by one, and the medicine plants were planted with a little dew at this time, in the afternoon sun, crystal clear, full of color, next to the planted whole medicinal herbs, it was obvious that some green weeds could grow out of the soil.

What's even more striking is that there is a small wooden sign next to these weeds that specifically marks the 'weed area', which is exactly the weed that Lin Chen and the others need to uproot.

The two of them looked around the medicine garden, and there was a locker next to the soil, on which were placed hoes, shovels and other necessary tools, apparently used to pull weeds.

"Get to work!"

Li Yi looked excited, hurriedly rushed to the locker on the side, picked up a hoe in his right hand, and began to work, this was the first task he received, and he was full of energy at the moment!

Lin Chen nodded and said.

"Twenty contribution points, the sooner you complete it, the sooner you can get it!"

Lin Chen also walked to the side of the locker and picked up a black hoe made of unknown materials.

Turning to look at the entire medicine garden, the whole medicine garden is divided into two major areas, one of which is divided into three rectangular soils, each planted with some medicinal herbs, and the other area is smaller, in the back corner of the medicine garden, it is not divided again, and the whole piece is planted together.

The two of them started from the large area, Lin Chen walked around the long strip of herbs on the far right, and as soon as he looked down, he saw that new green weeds had grown in the weeds area, and the hoe in his hand hammered down.

Bang!

The hoe made a muffled sound against the soil.

Lin Chen only felt a shock in the palm of his hand, this hoe did not hammer into the soil as easily as he imagined, but suddenly got stuck in three inches, he couldn't help but mobilize the source power of his body, gathered on his hands, picked up the hoe and hammered it down again.

Bang!

The hoe goes deeper into the soil.

Finally, under the three hammers and hoes, Lin Chen finally dug out the weeds in the soil next to him.

Lin Chen exhaled, and just as he wanted to dig the next place, he heard Li Yi's complaint, "Why is this soil so hard, it's comparable to a stone! No wonder this task is placed in the simple type, not extremely simple." ”

Lin Chen shook his head and smiled, "Weeding is not an easy task. ”

“......”

The two of them continued to dig up, and the air of the medicine garden continued to sound with a thumping sound, the hoe hit the soil again and again, and the weeds were also dug out one by one, along the long raised soil, Lin Chen dug to the end in unison.

When the last weed of this long strip of soil was dug up, an hour and a half had passed, and Lin Chen stood up with his hoe on the ground, stood up and twisted his neck.

Turning his head to look at Li Yi, he was still digging weeds on the long strip of soil in the middle, just now Lin Chen had already exerted five points of strength, with his realm in the late stage of awakening, he was naturally much faster than Li Yi.

Lin Chen was not in a hurry to continue digging, but turned his head to look at the other piece behind the medicine garden, this area in the rear was more than twice as small as the larger one, and the color of this land was purple and black, Lin Chen didn't know how to grow medicine, but this land should also be renovated.

Because next to it there was a small, old-looking wooden sign that said: It needs to be reorganized.

Lin Chen rested for a while, and set his eyes on this land, since he still needed to turn over the land, Lin Chen began to move, and walked to the front of the small plot, Lin Chen hammered the hoe in his hand on the black and purple soil.

Unexpectedly, the hoe entered the land without any hindrance.

It seemed that the purple-black soil was a little soft, Lin Chen pulled out his hoe vigorously, and suddenly turned over the purple-black soil underground, and a purple scorpion emerged from it, and the body of the scorpion was divided into sections, and the scales were like jade. As if frightened, the purple scorpion's tail immediately cocked, and the dark tail thorn instantly aimed at Lin Chen, and a feeling of needles on his back hit.

Could this be a highly poisonous scorpion, and why is it in the medicine garden?

Before he had time to think about it, a loud shout suddenly came from the direction of the hut, "What are you doing?"

Lin Chen turned around and found that Yao Guzi was already standing at the door of the thatched hut at some point, and was looking at him at this time, Lin Chen spread his hands and replied, "I saw that the wooden sign here said that the land needs to be turned, so I want to use a hoe to turn over the soil ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yao Guzi, who said with a stern expression, "No need, you don't have to worry about it over there, after removing the weeds in the center, you will complete the task, and you will come to the house to hand over when you are done." ”

Lin Chen couldn't help but nodded, this is the medicine garden of Yao Guzi, naturally it is what he said, and Yao Guzi returned to the thatched hut after speaking.

Lin Chen glanced back at the purple-black soil that had just been turned over, the purple scorpion was gone, and it seemed to burrow into the soil, but the scene just now still had palpitations, and Lin Chen didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned around and continued to weed.

Li Yi glanced up at Lin Chen, and then continued to remove the weeds, his long strip of soil had not been cleaned yet.

An hour later, the two of them finally cleaned up the weeds, and Li Yi asked a little hesitantly, "Lin Chen, do we still want to continue turning the soil?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Master Yaoguzi has already said just now, we don't need to turn over the soil, we can go back to life after removing the weeds." ”

Looking back at the medicine garden, Li Yi always felt that what he had done was not good enough, and he might not be able to satisfy Master Yaoguzi, but just now he also heard what Master Yaoguzi said, and he was no longer entangled, put down his hoe, and went to the thatched hut with Lin Chen to resume his life.

The door of the hut was open, and when he walked into the house, Master Yaoguzi was holding a book in his hand to read, and when he heard the two of them coming in, he put down the book in his hand and looked at the two.

"Report to Master Yaoguzi, we have finished removing weeds. Li Yi said respectfully.

Yao Guzi looked at Li Yi's eyes and smiled slightly, "I'm very satisfied, I don't need to check it, take out your task wooden card and give it to me." “

Li Yi hurriedly handed over the task wooden card in his arms, and Master Yaoguzi waved a few strokes on the wooden card, and the two big words 'Completed' were immediately written, and there was a name underneath, Yaoguzi.

After writing it, Yaoguzi was returned to Li Yi.

"Thank you Master Yaoguzi!" Li Yi looked excited, and hurriedly hugged his fist towards Yaoguzi to thank him, and Lin Chen also hugged his fist to show his gratitude.

Yaoguzi's eyes were gentle, and he looked at Li Yi and smiled slightly, "I am very satisfied with your weeding work, there are still two medicine boys missing in my medicine garden, I wonder if the two of you are interested in becoming the old man's children?"
