They were all wearing outer sect disciple uniforms, which were slightly different in style from You Ziyong's.

Xia Qi led a few people to stop beside the spiritual field, "This is the Shuyu grass that the outer sect gave to our spiritual garden to cultivate last time. It is now mature."

The leader was a young man in his twenties. He was not handsome, but he looked more stable. He stood beside the spiritual field with his hands behind his back, looking at the glowing Shuyu grass with moisture, and couldn't help but smile. "Not bad, you guys are attentive."

You Ziyong laughed from behind and said, "I didn't expect that the Shuyu grass that was wilting at the beginning would now produce more than expected, and the quality looks like it is at least above average. It can be seen that this mortal plant attendant is very attentive."

"Mortal?" the young man wondered.

"Yes!" You Ziyong pointed at Zhang Yunqing.

Only then did the young man notice Zhang Yunqing's presence and nodded, "Not bad, you've worked hard."

He took out a few spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and threw them into Zhang Yunqing's arms. Then he walked straight into the spirit field, took out the jade spirit box and began to pick the fruits of the Shuyu grass.

Zhang Yunqing felt pain in his chest from being hit by these shiny stones. He grimaced and cursed the man in his heart.

When You Ziyong looked over, he adjusted his expression in time and nodded at You Ziyong with an indifferent look, but he covered his chest inadvertently, revealing a hint of weakness.

You Ziyong frowned, and while helping his senior brother pick the Shuyu fruit, he muttered, "The plant attendant just now was a mortal. He will probably feel pain for several days after being hit by you, senior brother."

The young man paused, then turned around and saw Zhang Yunqing rubbing his chest and coughing. He sighed, "This mortal is so fragile. Even Ying Lanhua on my mountain is stronger than her."

After picking the Shuyu fruits, a few people carefully cut the Shuyu grass from the top to the root into pieces and put them away.

You Ziyong sighed, "Although this Shuyu grass only bears fruit once in its lifetime, there are dozens of seeds in one fruit, and everything from beginning to end can be used as medicine. It can be regarded as a conscientious spiritual medicine in the spiritual plant world."

"I never thought that a mere mortal could cultivate more than 50% of the medium-quality fruits from such a delicate Shuyu grass. This is almost comparable to the spiritual plants grown in the precious essence of Yuling Peak."

The young man walked in the front, his satisfaction becoming more and more obvious. When he passed by Zhang Yunqing, he raised his hand and handed over a small jade bottle, "This is a third-level top-grade longevity pill. If a mortal takes it, it can extend his life by 300 years."

Zhang Yunqing was stunned for a moment. He wanted to be polite, but when he saw the man's serious look, he swallowed his words and said dryly, "Thank you."

"you deserved."

After he said this, he led everyone away in a mighty manner, while Xia Qi stayed where he was.

After everyone left, he glanced at the small porcelain bottle in Zhang Yunqing's hand, and Zhang Yunqing carefully covered it with his sleeve.

Xia Qi raised his head and looked at her inexplicably, "What are you thinking? This is what you worked hard to get, can I steal your things?"

He sighed, "Do you know who that was just now?"

Zhang Yunqing thought for a moment, "Someone from the Outer Sect Alchemy Hall?"

Xia Qi nodded, "To be precise, it is the most powerful young talent in the outer sect's alchemy hall, Yong Beizhi. He is only about 200 years old, but he is already a sixth-grade alchemist. Even the inner sect can't find such a person."

It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. No wonder he looks so steady. Although he looks to be in his twenties, he is actually an old monster who is over 200 years old.

"This man is very picky. It's a blessing in disguise for you to get his approval this time. But how did you make the growth of the Shuyu grass suddenly improve in just twenty days?" Xia Qi looked at her suspiciously.

Zhang Yunqing coughed weakly twice. "These days I have been following your instructions. I have been working in the fields day and night, watering and fertilizing on time every day, taking good care of them. I only have time to take a nap occasionally. Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard... cough cough..."

Xia Qi looked ashamed, "You've worked hard during this period. I'll give you three days off to have a good rest. I'll assign you tasks in a few days."

Zhang Yunqing nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Chief Sergeant Xia. You know, we mortals have three meals a day, we work from sunrise to sunset, and we cannot be compared with the physiques of you cultivators. I will also make good use of these three short days to make up for the sleep I haven't gotten in nearly a month, and strive to return to work as soon as possible!"

With every word Zhang Yunqing said, Xia Qi's frown deepened. Finally, he coughed twice, "Ahem, I didn't think it through. Three days is indeed a bit too little. So, let's give you ten days off and arrange work for you after ten days."

"Thank you, Chief Sergeant Xia, for your understanding." Zhang Yunqing nodded weakly.

"You should go back and rest." Xia Qi couldn't help but say as he saw her staggering appearance.

"Then I'll leave first." Zhang Yunqing yawned and left with one footstep deep and one foot shallow.

Xia Qi stood there, thinking for a long time. He had been cultivating for hundreds of years and could no longer remember what it felt like to be a mortal. Finally, he murmured to himself, "Yes, mortals are very fragile. I heard that some died from working too much and some were killed by leaves. Tsk... Isn't ten days a little too little for a vacation..."

After returning to her residence, Zhang Yunqing immediately became energetic. Are you kidding? Wouldn't she die suddenly after not sleeping for so many days? When she was taking care of Shu Yucao, she even slept too much because of boredom, which was not good for her health.

She closed the doors and windows, sat on a wooden stool, and spread out the shiny stones and pills from her pockets on the table.

I counted them. There were ten spiritual stones in total.

She put one of them into the package, which showed: Jade filled with mixed elements, can be exchanged for 10 silver taels, and can be traded.

It can be traded and exchanged for silver.

Finally found a way to earn money!

She put the bottle of pills back into the package, which read: Unknown pill, of little use to the body, tradable.

Whether it is useful or not, just put it in the package first.

She picked up the shiny stone and said, "This is the currency here, spiritual stones. It seems that I need to earn more spiritual stones to afford other things in the mall."

When it was time for dinner, Zhang Yunqing went to the dining hall to eat.

There were only a few people in the spacious dining hall. She took the tray and walked to the window and said to Hua Niang, "Sister, one serving of porridge, two buns, and one serving of carrots."

Hua Niang smiled and said, "You are the person who loves carrots the most that I have ever met. But we don't have carrots today. Can you change it to something else?"

"It's all right. Sister is beautiful again today."

"Hahaha." Hua Niang laughed, "Is it so obvious? I just used a rejuvenation pill yesterday."

"Oh, Hua Niang, you really went to buy the Rejuvenating Pills. You're such a spendthrift..." a middle-aged man nearby sighed.

"What does it have to do with you?" Hua Niang raised her eyebrows immediately. "It's my own spiritual stone, why do you care how I spend it?"

"Mrs. Hua, you will never get married like this! It would take others years to save up the spiritual stones for a Rejuvenating Pill like you. Who can afford to support you?"
