30 task handover
The March period finally arrived. On this day, the deacon Zhou Miyan Zhou brought a new servant disciple to the Herbal Field Garden on time to take over Su Chen's task of guarding the ten-acre medicine garden.
The unlucky little servant followed Zhou Miyan's butt with a dejected look, obviously he looked very unhappy, but he could not help. This was a task assigned to him by Zhou Miyan, and he could not refuse.
Su Chen calculated the days and was waiting for Zhou Miyan and others to arrive outside the simple fence gate of the herbal field.
"Deacon Zhou, you are old!"
Su Chen saw Zhou Mi's eyes bringing people over and said politely.
He thought in his heart that he was about to leave this place, and he looked at the Yaopu with a little reluctance.
Since using green turbid water to water the herbs, guarding the medicinal field has no longer been a boring and depressing job for Su Chen in the past three months.
During this period, his cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds, and his lower dantian has begun to grow. He has also saved medicinal materials that are available for more than half a year, and he can continue to be used for body tempering practice in the future.
It can be said that this herbal field can be regarded as his starting and flying place. Now, he is going to leave this place after all.
"Well, my little brother is fine these few months. Let me check and accept it!"
Zhou Mie was carrying his hands and straightened his eyes and didn't even look at Su Chen. He was about to make some remarks, trying to find some problems in the Tianpu to seize some of Su Chen's wages.
Although there were not many copper coins to be deducted, this was his greatest pleasure as a deacon in the mail. Although he was nicknamed "Zhou Mieyan" by the many small mailmen in the mail, he did not care at all, but took it as proud.
At this time, Zhou Mi glanced at Su Chen who was waiting for him inadvertently, but unexpectedly saw Su Chen looking very excited, and even showed reluctance to the ten acres of medicinal fields in his eyes.
Zhou Miyan realized that something was wrong and was stunned.
Too abnormal!
You know, the work of taking care of herbal medicine fields is too boring, and there is not even a person to talk. Staying alone for three months in such a place is like going to jail, which will make any traitor disciple want to die.
In the past, those errand disciples took this task, but after three months of hard work, they looked extremely decadent. Seeing him coming was like seeing a great savior, and they wanted to hand over the task and leave quickly.
Therefore, the Servant Hall has such a deadline. The Servant disciples can only arrange one servile work to take care of the herbal fields within three years, and the time is limited to three months. If the time is too long, any Servant who guards the Servant fields will not be able to bear it.
Zhou Mi's eyes had never seen the appearance of Su Chen. After staying here for three months, he not only did not look disgusting and decadent, but was more radiant than when he was here, and he looked refreshed and seemed to be wandering around the back mountain.
Judging from the rosy complexion on Su Chen's face, I am afraid that the qi and blood in the lower dantian have improved greatly.
Zhou Mie's eyes are limited, and he can't tell Su Chen's true martial arts cultivation from his face just by looking at him.
He immediately felt suspicious and looked around alertly. Soon, he saw a row of ten hardwood stakes in front of the thatched hut, all of which were broken on the ground by a palm, and the ground was covered with crushed wood chips.
Zhou Mi's eyes couldn't help but change.
Looking at these hardwood stakes in practice, each of them is at least thick and hard in texture. I am afraid that if you don’t have more than one hundred kilograms of force, you will never be able to cut it with one palm.
This means that Su Chen broke through the cultivation level of the lower dantian and reached the level of a third-rate warrior?
"You...have you first formed the lower dantian?"
Zhou Mi's face looked ugly, and finally 70% to 80% sure, Su Chen broke through the third-rate realm.
"yes!"
Su Chen smiled lightly, nodding, not intending to conceal the matter.
As long as the disciple of the Servant Clan reaches the third level, he can be automatically promoted to a low-level deacon according to the rules.
In order to facilitate his work in the Servant Hall in the future and be able to independently select Servant tasks, he also needs to become a low-level deacon as soon as possible. After leaving Tianpu, he will return to the Servant Hall for promotion.
Moreover, he had already hidden the remaining medicinal materials, even if Zhou Miyan suspected it, it would be useless. He could not grasp any of his own hands anyway.
Zhou Mi's eyes heard Su Chen admit it, and he jumped up in shock, trembling hands, pointed at Su Chen's saliva, and shouted excitedly: "This~, how is this possible! You, a small servant who has just been in the Medicine King Gang for only half a year and has been in the Servant Hall for only three months, can you break through the third-rate realm in such a short time?! If you have been in more than three years, you can't even think about it."
Thinking back to the beginning, Zhou Miyan took him four or five years to be promoted to a low-level deacon. It took another fifteen years to work hard to become an intermediate deacon.
Su Chen, this kid, has been in the Servant Hall and has only been three months since he guarded the medicine field. He has just finished his dantian for the first time. It’s too fast.
This made Zhou Miyan jealous and annoyed.
This is definitely a problem, which exceeds the cultivation speed of most errand disciples. Unless... the body tempering herbs are used to assist body tempering practice!
"No! Could it be that he is really bold and arrogant... He stole the body-tempering medicinal materials to quench his body, so he entered the third-rate realm in just three months, right?"
Zhou Mi's eyes were seriously suspicious, and when he thought of this, his face suddenly changed.
Su Chen's thrilling look and reluctance to leave the medicine field is the biggest proof.
Zhou Mi couldn't help but squint his eyes and glared at Su Chen fiercely, feeling shocked and angry.
If a disciple in the gang steals herbs, he will be severely punished by the gang rules. The gangs in the martial arts world will not send the thieves to the government. They will set up their own prison halls and beat the thieves to death to show punishment.
If too many stolen medicinal materials are stolen, the consequences will be very serious.
It may even be implicated as an intermediate deacon.
Dare to steal the medicinal materials from the gang under his nose, this is seeking death!
Zhou Mi walked around Su Chen and sniffed carefully with his nose.
But Su Chen was prepared for a long time. Yesterday, he took a bath with rice water. He only had a light and refreshing breath on his body, without any smell of herbs.
Humph, boy, it's so good to hide!
I thought I wouldn’t be able to tell you if I washed my body and my smell was gone?
But under my Zhou Miyan's golden eyes, everything will be revealed invisible. What's the use?
Zhou Mi's eyes showed a fierce look and warned: "Brother, on the way here three months ago, I kindly warned you that you must not touch the herbs in the medicine garden.
The cruelty of the elders of the Medicine King Gang, the pain of cramps and bones pulling and firing the sky lanterns is not something you, a small servant, can imagine... If you take the initiative to take action and redeem your sins, this deacon can still help you plead for mercy and suffer less."
"Dashi Zhou, why can't I understand a single word when you're always saying these words? You'd better accept the herbs first and then tell me these!"
Su Chen said in a quiet voice.
Even if Zhou Miyan suspected something and sued the Elders of the Medicine King Gang and said that he had stole the medicinal materials, he had to come up with direct iron evidence to speak.
The elders only care whether he had stole medicinal materials and did not have the time to explore why he broke through the realm of the lower dantian.
You should know that there are thousands of disciples in the entire Medicine King Gang, and most of the new inner disciples are as short as two or three months, and at four or five months, they break through the lower dantian and enter the third-rate realm.
A new Servant disciple in the Servant Hall has taken eight months to be promoted to the third-rate since he joined the gang. This is an insignificant matter, more than twice as slow as the inner disciples. Except for the disciples in the Servant Hall, the disciples in the Servant Hall are a little amazed at Su Chen's cultivation speed, how could people in other halls take it seriously?
The elders of the Medicine King Gang are busy with their affairs, and they will not have the leisure to care about the sesame and mung beans such as "Why did a low-level servitude worker break through the third-rate realm in eight months?"
Su Chen was not afraid of Zhou Meiyan at all. When he became a low-level deacon, he could choose his own mission to work in the future. Zhou Meiyan could not find any opportunity to make things difficult for him.
"Hmph, I don't know how to live or die! Let's see, you have great skills, and I, Zhou Miyan, can also find your handle!"
Zhou Mi snorted coldly, took out a thick herbal account book from his arms, went to the herbal field to compare one by one, and counted the herbal materials in the ten acres of fields.
In order to prevent the disciples from stealing themselves, all herbs in the herbs that have reached one year or more age, including their quantity and specific year, are clearly remembered in the account book.
Only young seedlings will not be carefully counted.
After all, they have no medicine power, and they cannot be used to quench the body and be used as medicine, nor are they worth a few copper plates. Moreover, the mortality rate of seedlings in the early stage is high and the number is large. Even if a small number of seedlings die, it will be normal to lose money and will not be recorded in the account book.
Only those who lose medicinal materials that are over one year of medicine will be fined. If those who lose medicinal materials for ten years are lost, they will be severely punished.
Zhou Miyan walked from the top of the field to the bottom of the field, carefully counting the books and the herbs in the field one by one, but was stunned.
There are not many herbs in the medicinal field for more than one year!
This~, what's going on?
There are quite a few medicinal herbs, but this kid made great progress in just a few months and finished practicing the lower dantian. This is too strange.
What went wrong?
Zhou Mi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He scratched his ears and foreheads, and repeated counting twice, but the same result was still the same.
The new mail-in disciple was also full of shock and didn't understand what was going on. He looked at Su Chen with great envy. He was originally a new mail-in servant like him. In a blink of an eye, he became a low-level deacon. His status in the mail-in hall has been higher from now on, and he no longer has to endure Zhou Miyan's difficulties.
"Deacon Zhou, how do you see the growth of these herbs in the fields?"
Su Chen looked around with his hands, waiting for Zhou Miyan to count it several times but couldn't find any problem, then asked with a smile.
"Right~, okay!"
Zhou Mie's eyes were completely confused. He sat on the ridge of the field with his account book in dismay. He had no idea what was going on. With his ignorant eyes, he could not find out the problem.
He even had no idea about picking herbs in Tianpu.
And there is no problem. The medicinal materials in these ten acres of medicinal fields are growing well. They have enough watering and are also sufficiently fertilized. Where the soil should be loosened, they are often loosened. It can be seen that Su Chen is very careful in taking care of these ten acres of medicinal fields.
Even if he picks the bones in his eggs and deducts dozens of copper coins. What is this little money for a person who is about to be promoted to a low-level deacon!
"Deacon Zhou, if there is no problem, then complete the task handover. I went to the Servant Hall to get the wages... By the way, I have to change a low-level deacon brand by the way!"
Su Chen smiled.
The herbal smell on his body was covered by other auras, and all the used medicine residues were thrown into the stove and burned. Zhou Mie's eyes naturally couldn't find anything.
He also breathed a sigh of relief and finally handed over the task.
Even Zhou Mie's eyes couldn't find any problem. Naturally, no one could know about the fact that he used green turbid water to irrigate the body and practiced with the seedlings.
This is a matter without any knowledge.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to sell the remaining herbs.
The medicinal materials business in the thirteen counties of Wujun is an industry monopolized by the Medicine King Gang, so it is not allowed to be interfered with by others. Even if it is a disciple of this gang, it is impossible to resell medicinal materials in private.
Including the pharmaceutical shops in Gusu County, almost 80% are industries under the name of the Medicine King Gang. The remaining 20% are also closely related to the Medicine King Gang and will never dare to offend the Medicine King Gang.
If you use herbs to sell them privately, the medicine shop will immediately suspect the origin of the herbs. The Medicine King Gang will investigate it and cannot explain it, and it will definitely be in trouble.
