Chapter 8: Rain
Not long after, Shi Yue arrived at the Deacon Hall.
Before he entered the hall, he heard a noisy sound like a secular market.
The hall was crowded with people, about three or four hundred people, all of whom were Qi Refining disciples.
When routine tasks were assigned at the beginning of each month, it was the busiest day in the Deacon Hall, and it was also a good day for the Deacon disciples to make a lot of money. If you have enough spirit stones to bribe the Deacon disciples, they will naturally assign you the tasks with more money. If you don’t have spirit stones to bribe them, the most difficult and tiring dirty work will be yours.
To be honest, Shi Yue also thought about bribing Deacon Wang, but Deacon Wang asked for dozens of spirit stones, so he naturally wouldn’t agree.
In order to facilitate management, each Deacon disciple managed a certain number of low-level disciples and was responsible for assigning routine tasks to them. Unfortunately, Shi Yue happened to be managed by Deacon Wang. Unless he cultivated to the tenth level of Qi Refining, he had to go to Deacon Wang every month to receive routine tasks.
Although Shi Yue has advanced to the third level of Qi Refining, his cultivation is still at the bottom of the disciples in the Deacon Hall.
He stood aside honestly, and waited until the senior brothers in front of Deacon Wang left, then he walked forward quickly, forced a smile on his face, and said: "Deacon Wang, I'm here to receive the routine task."
"Pick five ten-year-old red blood ginsengs, ten spirit stones," Deacon Wang glanced at Shi Yue and said coldly.
"Deacon Wang, I have been picking spiritual herbs for more than a year. Can I change the task?" Shi Yue heard it and said with a wry smile.
In recent years, the spiritual herbs on the periphery of Taixu Mountains have been picked up. Not to mention ten-year-old spiritual herbs, even five-year-old spiritual herbs are rare.
There are many high-year spiritual herbs growing in the depths of the mountains, but after the last incident, Shi Yue dared not go to the depths of the mountains to pick herbs again. No matter how many spirit stones there are, he must live to spend them.
"Of course, this will show whether you can behave yourself," said Deacon Wang with a smile, a sly look flashing in his eyes.
"How much?" Shi Yue heard this, pondered for a moment, and said through gritted teeth.
"One hundred spirit stones, go to the Sutra Pavilion to clean and organize the classics, ten spirit stones per month, this is a long-term task, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can stay there for life, what do you think?" Deacon Wang said with a smile.
"One hundred spirit stones? Forget it." Shi Yue heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, shook his head and refused.
Not to mention that he didn't have a hundred spirit stones, even if he had, he wouldn't be willing to use it to exchange for a job. What if he paid the spirit stones, and then the uncle of the Sutra Pavilion found an excuse to drive him away, he would have nowhere to cry.
"Humph, since you don't want to, why are you still staying here, why don't you go find the red blood ginseng quickly." Deacon Wang heard this, the smile on his face froze, and said coldly.
Seeing this, Shi Yue dared not speak but turned and walked out of the hall.
At this moment, the silver jade plate in the hand of Deacon Wang made a buzzing sound, and white light shone brightly. After the light faded, there was a line of small words on it.
"Another new task." Deacon Wang's face was happy, and when he saw the small words on it clearly, his face changed, and he hurriedly shouted to Shi Yue: "Shi Yue, come back, the previous task is cancelled, I will arrange a new task for you.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yue frowned, hesitated for a moment, and turned back to Deacon Wang.
"Tell me! What spiritual medicine to pick," Shi Yue said lightly. In his opinion, Deacon Wang must have assigned him a more difficult and less rewarding task.
"This time it's not picking spiritual medicine, but planting work. Well, take care of three acres of fifty-year-old water moon flowers, rain every two days, two spiritual stones per month, and the time is half a year." Deacon Wang said seriously.
"What? Only two spiritual stones a month? "Shi Yue was surprised when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.
To rain three acres of spiritual medicine once every two days, only two spiritual stones are given a month. The person who issued this task is simply a miser. Shi Yue suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Two spiritual stones a month, um, this is the task issued by Uncle Zhou Hong." Deacon Wang glared at Shi Yue and said in a deep voice.
"Ah! Uncle Zhou Hong? "Shi Yue couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard this.
The Taixu Sect has six inner peaks and eighteen outer peaks. The six inner peaks are where the foundation-building disciples live, and the eighteen outer peaks are where the Qi-refining disciples live. The high-level cultivators of the Taixu Sect have other residences, and the residences of the high-level cultivators are the places with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Taixu Sect.
Among the foundation-building disciples of the inner six peaks, two are particularly famous. One is Uncle Yan Ge, who is responsible for teaching the Qi-refining disciples, and the other is Uncle Zhou Hong.
Uncle Zhou Hong is a well-known planting maniac who grows many kinds of spiritual medicines. It is said that his spiritual fields are more than ten acres in size, but he is not famous because he is good at growing spiritual medicines, but because he is stingy.
The tasks issued by Uncle Zhou Hong have very low rewards, and if they are not done well, he will scold them. Therefore, many Qi-refining disciples are unwilling to accept the tasks issued by Uncle Zhou Hong.
Because the reward given by Uncle Zhou Hong will not exceed three spiritual stones, many Qi-refining disciples privately call him Zhou Sankuai.
"What? You should go to Cuiyun Peak right now to report to Master Zhou Hong. The largest courtyard belongs to Master Zhou Hong." Deacon Wang rolled his eyes at Shi Yue and ordered in an unquestionable tone. After that, he took out a palm-sized green jade token and threw it to Shi Yue.
To be honest, Shi Yue didn't want to take this task, but he couldn't take out a hundred spirit stones to bribe Deacon Wang. He had to take this task even if he didn't want to.
After leaving the Deacon Hall, Shi Yue flew to Cuiyun Peak.
Not long after, he came to a tall mountain.
This Cuiyun Peak is three or four hundred feet high. From the middle of the mountain, you can see layers of white mist swirling up. Looking around, the mountain is full of green and lush.
The mountain is full of large and small attics and caves with different decorations. One of the caves is quite conspicuous, covering an area of more than ten acres. The whole cave is covered by a layer of white light, and the situation inside cannot be seen clearly.
Shi Yue landed in front of the cave, took out the green jade token given by Deacon Wang, and after injecting magic power into it, a green light suddenly flew out from the jade token and sank into the white light.
"Come in!" Not long after, a hoarse voice came from inside.
As soon as the voice fell, the white light dissipated and disappeared, and the gate of the courtyard opened.
Seeing this, Shi Yue did not dare to neglect and walked in quickly.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Shi Yue took a breath of cold air.
The whole yard was full of various spiritual medicines. Looking around, there were colorful spiritual medicines. The air was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, which made Shi Yue excited.
There was not even a house in the whole yard. Several bluestone paths were distributed in a well shape, dividing the ten acres of spiritual fields into nine areas. Each area was lush and green, and many spiritual medicines that Shi Yue had never seen were planted.
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face stood in front of Shi Yue, casting rain on a patch of white flowers that were a foot high.
"Disciple Shi Yue, meet Uncle Zhou." Shi Yue saw the middle-aged man and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Are you the disciple sent by the Deacon Hall? Your cultivation is too low!" The middle-aged man looked at Shi Yue carefully, frowned, and said with some displeasure.
After hearing this, Shi Yue smiled bitterly in his heart. With a reward of two spirit stones a month, it would be strange if a disciple with a higher cultivation level was willing to come. Of course, he dared to think about it in his heart, but he dared not say it out loud.
"Forget it, I have something to go out for, anyway, it's just casting rain." The middle-aged man seemed to remember something, shook his head, and muttered to himself.
"Junior Brother Shi, right? You should know what to do! It's actually very simple. You should rain on these water moon flowers once every two days for more than half an hour. You don't need to care about other spiritual medicines," the middle-aged man pointed to a large patch of white flowers and said slowly.
"Disciple understands. Disciple promises to come here to rain once every two days," Shi Yue nodded.
"Come here every two days? No, what if you encounter something and are delayed when you come, or forget it? You can stay here with me! The spiritual energy here is far from what your residence can compare to." The middle-aged man shook his head and ordered in an unquestionable tone.
"Live here? But where is the room? Do you want to sit on the ground to rest?" Shi Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said with some embarrassment.
"Look to your left." The middle-aged man said lightly.
Shi Yue heard this, turned his head and looked to the left, and saw a cave about ten feet wide. A bluestone staircase led to the underground, and it was bright below.
"This..." Shi Yue's mouth twitched when he saw this.
This Master Zhou Hong is indeed a planting maniac. In order to save space, he actually built the cave underground.
"Follow me," Zhou Hong said, and walked down the bluestone stairs.
Shi Yue did not hesitate and hurriedly followed.
This is a stone chamber of fifty or sixty feet in size. There are many moonstones inlaid on the walls, which illuminate the entire stone chamber.
The layout of the stone chamber is very simple. There are several emerald green cushions on the ground. On the left side is a wooden shelf more than one person high, on which are placed some jade slips and books.
What makes Shi Yue speechless is that there are dozens of black grasses about a foot high planted on the right side of the stone chamber, and a transparent light curtain covers dozens of black grasses.
"This is where you rest. You stay here and rain on the Moon Flower every two days. Remember to rain for more than half an hour. You are not allowed to touch other spiritual medicines. If I find that one of the other spiritual medicines has withered or disappeared, I will never let it go. Do you understand?" Zhou Hong said coldly.
"What if it withers on its own?" Shi Yue muttered to himself in a low voice.
Although the voice was not loud, Zhou Hong still heard it clearly.
"You can rest assured about this. Except for the Moon Flower, I have set up restrictions on other spiritual medicines. When I come back, if the restrictions are intact and the spiritual medicine withers, I will not blame you. Otherwise, I will punish you severely." Zhou Hong nodded and explained.
"Yes, disciple understands," Shi Yue nodded and said. He then remembered something and pointed to the wooden shelf and said, "Uncle Zhou, can the disciple take a look at those classics?"
"It's up to you. Be careful when reading, and don't tear the paper books. Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave. I just made the water moon flower rain, you can do it again in two days. Remember, the raining time must be more than half an hour." After Zhou Hong repeatedly reminded him, he turned around and left.
After seeing off Uncle Zhou, Shi Yue closed the courtyard door and walked along the bluestone path. 鈥斺��
