As a sect famous for its pills, Gui Yi Sect naturally had the majority of pill cultivators. More than 80% of them were pill cultivators. But pill cultivators were the most expensive of all cultivators. That was because pill cultivators mainly relied on pill refinement to advance. And pill refinement required materials. The most common materials were all kinds of spirit herbs. Moreover, the materials used for every type of pill were different. There were thousands of pills in the world. The higher the grade of the pill, the more expensive the materials used.
It could be said that the early stages of pill cultivation were practically a living spirit stone burning machine. And with so many disciples in Gui Yi Sect, there were even more low-level disciples. Hence, the demand for low-level spirit herbs was even greater. Of course, these could not all be bought from outside. Hence, the sect planted a large spirit field at the foot of the mountain. It was specially used to plant all kinds of low-level spirit herbs. And these spirit fields were usually handed over to experienced outer sect disciples to plant. The sect would provide the seeds. After the seeds matured, they would take a portion of the fruits. The remaining disciples could keep it for their own medicine or exchange it for spirit stones from the sect.
This seemed like a good job. But spirit fields could not be planted by just any disciple. Spirit herbs were different from mortal herbs. They had very high requirements for the soil, weather and even spirit Qi. They needed a lot of patience and time. Moreover, every spirit herb had a different planting method. Ordinary people would not be able to master it in a short period of time. Not to mention that Zuo Shuming was a new disciple for less than a month. Even the most talented disciple would not be able to plant anything without three to four years.
This was also the reason why Lonemoon only dared to hand over the task of planting spirit herbs to Radish and not the other disciples. Radish itself was a plant spirit. Only it knew what those immortal herbs needed and how to grow well.
Although they were prepared, Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming were still shocked when they saw the spirit fields they were given.
When they arrived at the spirit fields, they realized that the situation was worse than they imagined.
They were given a piece of spirit field at the edge. Beside it was a stone mountain. The soil was very dry and the spirit Qi was pitifully thin. More importantly, rocks would roll down from the mountain from time to time. Although it was said to be two acres, half of the land had already been filled with rocks. This was not even a mortal field, much less a spirit field.
"This … How could this be!" Zuo Shuming was completely dumbfounded. He stared in disbelief at the overgrown weeds in front of him and turned to look at the disciple who was leading the way. "Senior Brother, have we come to the wrong place? Is this the spirit field we're supposed to plant?"
"Yeah! This is the spiritual field of the Qian position. " The disciple leading the way nodded and couldn't help but mutter, "This piece of land has been barren for decades. It's impossible to grow anything. I don't know why the sect suddenly sent people here."
He looked up at the two of them and shook his head with some pity. But he didn't ask any more questions and directly handed over the bag in his hand. "Here, these are the seeds for the spirit herb you want to plant. Remember to hand over 50 low-level spirit herbs in three months." After saying that, he didn't stay and turned to leave.
Zuo Shuming took the bag of seeds, and his eyes became even more confused. He subconsciously opened the bag and looked inside. The seeds in the bag were only the size of a palm, and there were red, green, black, and all kinds of colors. It was obvious that they were not the same species.
"How can this be?" Zuo Shuming was shocked. It was bad enough that the spirit field was barren, but why were the seeds different? It would be strange if they could grow anything like this. "That Senior Brother must have taken the wrong ones. I'll go and get a new bag from him." He closed the bag and turned to leave.
"Come back!" Lonemoon reached out and pulled him back. He snatched the bag from his hand and rolled his eyes. "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be? Just look at this spirit field and you know that he's doing this on purpose. If you go back just like this, will he care about you? "
Zuo Shuming faltered, his expression full of confusion. "But … this is the first time I've met that Senior Brother. I've never offended him before. Why is he targeting me like this?"
"Who said he's the one targeting you?" Lonemoon shook his head.
"It's not him?" He was even more confused. "But I've never offended anyone else?"
Lonemoon frowned. But he didn't know how to explain. Could he just say that he was targeted by an intruder? He could only sigh. "Forget it! It doesn't matter who it is! The most important thing for you now is to work hard on your cultivation. When you're strong enough, you naturally won't be afraid of these petty tricks. Even if you chase after him now, you probably won't get any answers. "
Zuo Shuming clenched his fists. A hint of struggle flashed across his face. After a moment of silence, he said, "I still want to go. I don't think I've done anything wrong. Since I've entered Gui Yi Sect, as a disciple, planting spirit fields is part of my duty. I have no complaints about this. But these seeds … "His gaze darkened." I don't know why the other party is doing this. But planting spirit fields concerns the sect. I have to get to the bottom of it. " His gaze was clear and determined. One could see through him at a glance. He had a naive and stubborn look.
Lonemoon did not speak. After some thought, he stepped aside. If he wanted to go, then go. Very soon, he would discover that everything in this world could not be explained clearly.
"Brother Lonemoon, don't worry. I'll be back soon." Zuo Shuming instructed. Then, he turned and chased in the direction that the disciple who led the way had disappeared in.
Lonemoon sighed. Indeed, he was still too young. He looked down at the bag of seeds in his hand. Then, he handed it to Chef. "Let's begin!"
"Me?" Chef faltered. He looked at the seeds in his hand in shock. He only knew how to stir-fry them!
"If not you, me?" He glared at him. "What do you think I called you here for?" He was a prodigal who only knew how to spend money every day. What was wrong with doing some work?
"I've never planted spirit herbs before." Chef opened the bag. Didn't Radish do this before? "How about … I ask Radish to come down."
"What Radish?!" Lonemoon rolled his eyes. Radish was a flower maniac. If he asked it to come down, it would expose the two of them. "Just pluck the grass and scatter the seeds."
"…" You call this planting spirit herbs?
Chef looked at the seeds in his hand suspiciously. On account of the food expenses, he could not refute. He could only take the seeds and walk into the field where the grass was taller than a person.
He thought for a moment. In the next moment, Sword Qi exploded from his body. Like a sharp knife, it swept toward the entire spirit field. For a moment, the weeds were like chopped chives, falling to the ground. The soil on the ground was overturned by the Sword Qi attack. In the blink of an eye, the spiritual field, which was so deep that even the mud could not be seen, had become bare. Even the ground had been turned over.
Yi Qing then opened the bag. He grabbed a handful of seeds and scattered them. He did not care if he scattered them evenly. He tipped the bag down and shook it twice. Then, he turned and walked back. "It's done!" It took less than two minutes.
"Mm." Lonemoon did not seem to care about how he planted them.
"Can they … grow like this?" Chef asked. It was rare for him to be so nosy.
"Of course!" Lonemoon turned back to look at him. Then, he looked up at the sky meaningfully. Then, he replied, "You planted them. They dare not not grow."
"…"
