Chapter 25 Surabaya Medicine Garden

On this day, Lu Xu thought that he was preparing for the reason of Xiaobi in the peak, and officially resigned from his position as a disciple of the furnace, and it was a pity for that Uncle Zhu.

"It's time to go to the Deacon Hall to get the task!" After leaving the alchemy room, Lu Xu used the Light Body Technique and galloped towards the peak where the Deacon Hall was located.

Along the way, he also passed by several other disciples who were also flying. Maybe it was because Lu Xu's face was too unfamiliar, so most of these people looked at Lu Xu curiously, but when they saw that he was only at the realm of the first layer of the Qi Refining Period, they all disdainfully stayed away.

Lu Xu saw all the actions of these people in his eyes, there was no expression on his face, but he was quite helpless in his heart. It seems that these so-called disciples of the Great Sect of Cultivating Immortals are no different from the worldly mortals who hate the poor and love the rich, and they are the same snobbish.

Lu Xu was slandering in his heart, and he had already come to a large building complex, and then landed in front of a large hall with a plaque of "Deacon Hall" and strode in.

Find a middle-aged deacon in the hall who is responsible for arranging daily tasks, and say, "This senior brother, I'm here to receive daily tasks?"

"Well, well, it's just a matter of releasing a new batch of tasks today!" the deacon said lightly.

"Senior brother, don't you know that there is still a shortage of people for the work of the medicine garden in the sect?" Lu Xu smiled slightly.

"The work of taking care of the planting of the medicine garden explained above is all here. Take a good look at it, junior brother!" said the deacon, holding a bundle of cyan bamboo slips.

Lu Xu thanked him, took the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully.

"Cultivate ten acres of spiritual fields, attend three times a month, and ensure that each plant has 200 fruits. ”

"Take good care of one of the Seven Colors Garden to ensure that its spirituality is not lost. ”

"Plant three acres of Biyun grass and hand over two hundred catties every six months. Ensuring that their spirituality is not lost. ”

"Take care of the moonlight pine forest and ensure that 500 catties of pine nuts are handed over every year. ”

............

There are all kinds of work on the bamboo slips, and there are really a lot of them! But some of the previous ones have never entered Lu Xu's eyes. The elixirs that Guy came into contact with in these jobs were too simple, and they didn't fit Lu Xu's purpose of needing a large number of different kinds of elixir seeds. When the bamboo slips were turned over to the last few roots, a job that satisfied Lu Xu finally appeared.

"Take care of the Danyang Peak Surabaya Medicine Garden, and you need to hand over the prescribed amount of rare elixirs every six months, and ask your disciples to stay in the medicine garden. ”

Seeing the big characters on the bamboo slips, Lu Xu was overjoyed. So he pointed to the bamboo slip, looked up and said to the deacon, "I am satisfied with this work, I don't know if it is possible?"

After listening to Lu Xu's words, the deacon came up with a smile. But when he saw the job Lu Xu had chosen, his expression was stunned, and he glanced at Lu Xu with a strange expression.

"This junior brother, senior brother advises you to change your job, this task of taking over the Danyang Peak Surabaya Medicine Garden is too difficult to complete, and it is not suitable for junior brother to do!" The deacon said quite sincerely, but seeing Lu Xu's somewhat confused look, he continued to explain:

"This quest was hung here a long time ago, because it paid two more spirit stones than ordinary quests, so many people have taken it over the years, but every disciple has messed up. Not only did they not get the two extra spirit stones, 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. Over time, this task is avoided by everyone, and it is usually the last person to receive the task that is enforced. Senior brother, you are still early today, and there are many other easy tasks to choose from. ”

After hearing this, Lu Xu was still a little puzzled in his heart, it is said that although the maintenance work of the medicine garden requires being stationed in the medicine garden, it should be quite easy, so he opened his mouth to ask:

"Senior brother, can you tell me what is so difficult about the work of this medicine garden, why so many senior brothers have not completed it? Isn't it just to manage the elixir in the garden?

"This task may seem simple on the surface, but there is a great deal of uncertainty in it. That is, this elixir is an extremely delicate thing, and it will be damaged and die at every turn, as the so-called unpredictable weather happens, no one can guarantee the survival rate of the elixir. However, if it is carefully taken care of every day, it is extremely time-consuming and delays cultivation, so no one is willing to take it. The deacon said with a wry smile.

After hearing this, Lu Xu finally understood, and after a little silence, he said decisively: "Thank you senior brother for reminding me, but under the Danyang Peak Gate, I am a little familiar with the elixir, so I don't need to change other tasks, so I will choose it!"

The deacon heard the resoluteness in Lu Xu's words, and felt a little stunned, but he didn't say anything anymore, so he nodded and agreed.

Once you've chosen the task, the next thing will be much easier. With the assistance of this deacon, Lu Xu completed all the formalities extremely smoothly and got the jade medal of the representative to take over the work. Then, under the leadership of the deacon, he set off for the Danyang Peak Surabaya Medicine Garden.

After the deacon took Lu Xu to the medicine garden, he turned around and left. Only then did Lu Xu raise his eyes and look at the medicine garden in front of him, which was a small basin surrounded by several huge peaks, and some prohibitions were also set by the senior monks in Danyang Peak to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

Lu Xu raised his legs and walked a short distance, and then he touched the nearby prohibition, and was blocked by a white light-like barrier.

Lu Xu felt the obstacle of the ban, and immediately took out a jade plate from the storage bag and shone it forward, and suddenly shot out a white light from the jade card and flew into the ban, and then Lu Xu waited patiently in the same place.

"Come in!" A cold voice came from inside, as if ringing in Lu Xu's ears. Then the prohibition in front of him disappeared in an instant, like ice and snow melting.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xu didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly walked in.

Following the path in front of him, Lu Xu stopped in front of a courtyard with a plaque of "Surabaya Medicine Garden", which was very large and dozens of acres in size. Before others entered the hospital, a strong medicinal fragrance came from inside, which lifted Lu Xu's spirits.

"What are you looking at outside, come in quickly!" it was the cold voice that came into my ears impatiently.

Lu Xu didn't dare to slack off, walked in hurriedly, and stood inside, only then did he really see the general situation in the park.

At the door are a few simple huts, and in front of the huts are square plots divided by trenches, neatly arranged. Each piece of land is lush and green, planted with many elixirs that Lu Xu is familiar with or unfamiliar, and some plants that look strange, making the whole garden full of aura. I took a deep breath and felt very comfortable in my heart.

"Come in!" said the owner of the cold voice, seeing that he was struggling, said with some impatience in his tone.

The corners of Lu Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and then he walked into the hut expressionlessly.

There was a gray-haired old man standing in the room, looking impatiently at Lu Xu who had just come in, this white-haired old man looked about seventy or eighty years old from the outside, with messy white hair, but a pair of eyes were shining. Holding a huge teapot in his hand, he can see the yellow teeth in his mouth when he takes a sip occasionally.

"You are the disciple of Guan Yuan sent by the Deacon Hall this time? You are also too young, how can you cultivate at the first level of the Qi Refining Period? What do the people in the Deacon Hall do. When the white-haired old man saw Lu Xu's appearance, his face suddenly turned pale, and he scolded.

"Danyang Peak disciple Lu Xu, I have seen Uncle Ding!" Lu Xu had already learned from the mouth of the deacon that this white-haired old man was an alchemist in Danyang Peak, and this medicine garden was mainly for him to use for alchemy, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"Oh, you're a disciple of Danyang Peak. Although you are a disciple of this peak, you can't complete the task, and the old man will never show mercy. Do you know how many punishments there will be?" Hearing this, the white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

"The disciple knows that the scale of the medicine garden must be kept unchanged, and the herbs must not be allowed to die, and a certain amount of elixir must be handed over every six months! If this is the case, the disciple is confident that he can do it!" Lu Xu said quietly.

Hearing Lu Xu's words, the white-haired old man couldn't help but be a little surprised. The disciples who were sent over in the past were like Lu Xu, who were full of confidence as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was the first time he had encountered them. couldn't help but glance at Lu Xu again, but the suspicion in his eyes still did not decrease in the slightest.

"Come with me!" the white-haired old man pondered for a while, said coldly, and then walked out of the hut, followed by Lu Xu without hesitation.

"How many of these elixirs can you recognize?" the white-haired old man said, pointing to the flowers and plants in the garden, and squinting at Lu Xu.

"About fifty percent. Lu Xu glanced at it roughly and said softly.

After hearing Lu Xu's words, the white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, but then sneered:

"Stinky boy, you really dare to say it, don't say fifty percent, if you can know the elixir of one percent here, the old man will hand over the garden to you to manage, and don't say a word again!"

After hearing the other party's words, Lu Xu was overjoyed and left the white-haired old man's side.

"Nine-colored flowers, Mingluo grass, Chiyang danxin vine, purple green half-grown grass, five-fingered purple potato......" Lu Xu casually called out the names of the elixirs he knew while strolling through the garden.

The white-haired old man still sneered at first, but when he heard this, his face showed surprise, because Lu Xu actually said many very remote elixir names, some of which could only be understood by alchemists, which surprised him.

"Okay, how do you know so many elixirs!" When Lu Xu finished talking about the elixir he knew, the white-haired old man asked suspiciously.

"Uncle Hui, the disciple has been a furnace disciple for two years, so he is familiar with elixirs. Hearing this, Lu Xu said respectfully.

"Oh, no wonder, it's very good, you've been a furnace disciple for two years, and the old man is a little relieved!This medicine garden will be handed over to you for the time being, this is the forbidden token here, be careful!" The white-haired old man's face showed a sudden look, and he took out a black token from his body with satisfaction and threw it to Lu Xu.
