Chapter 125

An Ru brought Zhan Chen out of the main hall and turned into a small winding path. After a few twists and turns, they arrived at the back of the hall.

Zhan Chen looked around and saw that there was a large field behind the hall. There were countless precious spiritual herbs planted there. Many people were busy working there. He could not see through the cultivation of most of them. It was obvious that they had reached the realm of Martial Honor. Only a few people were at the same level as him, Martial Master Great Perfection.

At this moment, An Ru said to him, "Zhan Chen, you must remember, from now on, you will work here and become one of them."

Zhan Chen turned around and asked, "Steward, may I ask where this place is?"

"This is the spiritual field of our Saintess. The people you see working in the field are the Saintess' medicine slaves. Of course, from now on, you will be one of them too."

"Let's go, I will bring you to the part you are responsible for."

"Yes!"

Thus, Zhan Chen followed behind An Ru and stepped onto the small path in the field. Finally, they arrived at a spiritual field that was nearly one mu in size.

An Ru pointed at it and said to Zhan Chen, "From now on, you will be responsible for taking good care of this medicinal field."

Zhan Chen looked at the field and immediately frowned, "Steward An, the lowest grade of spiritual herbs here is at least Grade 4! I don't know much about taking care of spiritual herbs. You should give me another job. Otherwise, it will be bad if the spiritual herbs here die first. "

"Hmph! You seem to have doubts about my arrangements? "

"I don't dare."

"To tell you the truth, there is no shortage of people in the other areas of Saintess Peak. In fact, it is a little redundant. However, the job of taking care of the spiritual field is never too much."

"These spiritual herbs belong to the Saintess. If anything happens to them, you will be punished. If you kill a Grade 4 spiritual herb, you will have to pay 20 to 100 Medium Grade Primal Stones depending on its value. If it is a Grade 5 spiritual herb, you will have to pay at least 50 High Grade Primal Stones."

"As such, you must be careful not to let a Grade 5 spiritual herb die. Otherwise, I will have to punish you according to the rules of the hall!"

"If I do not have Primal Stones as compensation, what should I do?"

"According to the rules, you will have to compensate with your body."

"How will I compensate with my body?" Zhan Chen was stunned.

An Ru glanced at him and said coldly, "I'll use your flesh and blood as part of the medicine for refining pills!"

"What!" When Zhan Chen heard the truth, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. This job was really not meant for humans!

An Ru tried to comfort him. "But don't be too frightened. I have a jade slip here. Take a good look at it. As long as you follow the instructions on it, there shouldn't be any problems."

After that, she took out a jade slip from her Qiankun Bag, handed it to Zhan Chen, and reminded, "If you really encounter an accident, you can also personally ask the Holy Maiden for mercy."

If it were not for An Ru, Yin Meiru was, she, Martial martial martial martial, Chen, she would Martial, young, Zhan, she, she,

Chen, and, I must find a chance to leave Holy Maiden Peak as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will die here sooner or later! Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Oh, that's right. Take this as well. Take a good look at it. There are many taboos on Holy Maiden Peak. If you are not careful, you will die very quickly!"

Zhan Chen took the jade slip in his hand and looked at it carefully. Written on it were the words "Instructions to Holy Maiden Peak". He knew that this was a record of the various "rules" of Jade Maiden Peak. Thus, he put it in his Cosmos Sack.

"Let's go. I will take you to your residence." An Ru said as she led Zhan Chen to a row of houses at the back.

She pointed at a few large houses in front of them and said to Zhan Chen, "These are also spiritual herbs. However, they are Yin-attributed spiritual herbs. Perhaps in the future, you will also have the opportunity to come into contact with them."

Hearing her words, a question arose in Zhan Chen's mind. Thus, he asked An Ru, "Lord Chief Steward, I have a question I would like to ask."

"Go ahead."

"That is, this mountain peak is filled with Spiritual Qi. It is not suitable for Yin-attributed spiritual herbs to grow. However, why are these houses able to grow these spiritual herbs?"

"The Spiritual Qi here comes from the bottom of the mountain. The houses that you see are all set up with formations that can continuously extract the Spiritual Qi from the bottom of the mountain, making it suitable for the growth of these spiritual herbs."

"So that's how it is."

"Look, the houses over there are where you will live." An Ru said as she pointed at the last few rows of high-rise buildings.

Zhan Chen looked in the direction she was pointing. These buildings were equally majestic. They were more than ten stories tall and were divided into many rooms.

"Let's go up."

An Ru brought him into one of the buildings and went straight up to the fifth floor. In front of one of the rooms, she took out a jade tablet and pressed it on the door. The door opened.

After that, she handed the jade tablet to Zhan Chen and said, "This jade tablet is your identity jade tablet. Please take good care of it."

Zhan Chen took the jade tablet and probed it with his divine sense. He found that his name, appearance, cultivation, and the information he belonged to Holy Maiden Peak were recorded inside. There was also a column that showed merit points, but the number on it was still zero.

Thus, he withdrew his divine sense and asked An Ru, "Lord Chief Steward, I saw that merit points are recorded in this jade tablet. May I ask what merit points can be used for?"

An Ru nodded and said, "Right now, this identity jade tablet in your hand is only the most basic kind. You can earn a fixed 1,000 merit points every month by working here. Merit points can be used to exchange for all the cultivation resources you need."

Zhan Chen nodded and thought, 'It seems that Marat Sect and my Golden Elephant Sect are similar in this regard.'

"You don't have any more questions, right?"

Zhan Chen thought for a moment and nodded.

"I've told you everything that needs to be said. It's time for me to leave. You must remember where your duty lies. Don't let the spiritual herbs in the spiritual fields die." After saying this, An Ru turned and left alone.

At this time, Zhan Chen walked into his dormitory alone. At this time, there was a spacious cultivation room that was more than 100 square meters in size and had all kinds of facilities.

His first step was to find the cultivation room. As he stepped inside, he found that the furnishings inside were more complicated than he had imagined. Apart from the praying mats used for cultivation on the floor, Zhan Chen also found a Concentration incense burner in the middle of the room.

During the process of cultivation, demonic cultivators were extremely susceptible to the influence of their inner demons, which could lead to Qi deviation. Therefore, the Concentration incense, which had the effect of concentrating the mind, was in high demand. Demonic cultivators of all cultivation levels needed it.

In addition, Zhan Chen also found that there were two formations drawn on the wall. He was very familiar with one of them. It was the Spiritual Gathering Formation, which could gather the Heavenly Spirit Qi from the distant mountains.

However, Zhan Chen couldn't understand the other formation. He only felt that it was bigger than the Spiritual Gathering Formation. The lines on it were more complicated, and the number of formation eyes was double that of the Spiritual Gathering Formation. There were 16 of them.

Zhan Chen thought in his heart, "Guessing is not a good idea. Let me try the effect of this formation."

Thereupon, he took out 16 mid-grade Primordial Stones and stuffed them into the formation eyes of the Spiritual Formation. Then, he activated the formation.

As soon as the formation was activated, Zhan Chen was shocked. He saw a burst of rich Earth Spirit Qi gushing out from the formation. In a split second, it filled the entire cultivation room.

Zhan Chen hastily closed the Spiritual Formation and took out the Primordial Stones. Only now did he understand that the effect of this Spiritual Formation was to continuously draw the Earth Spirit Qi from the foot of the mountain.

At this point, he finally understood why the Marat Sect had built their sect in a place filled with Heavenly Spirit Qi. With this kind of Spiritual Formation, there was no need to worry about the lack of Earth Spirit Qi.

On the contrary, not only was the air fresh and the scenery pleasant, the people of the Marat Sect could also use the rich Heavenly Spirit Qi to cultivate countless spiritual herbs.

After everything was settled, Zhan Chen finally had the leisure to lie down on his bed and think about his current situation. "Now that I am temporarily trapped in this Holy Maiden Peak, I must first survive. Then, I must slowly find a way to leave this place. Then, step by step, I must get closer to Yin Xuehai and learn about the shocking conspiracy that he is planning!"

Thinking of this, he flipped over from his bed and sat up. He took out the two jade slips that An Ru had given him and carefully read them.

The first jade slip introduced the appearance, effects, and methods of cultivating various spiritual herbs. The amount of information contained in it was a hundred times more than what Zhan Chen knew. After reading it, Zhan Chen had obtained a large amount of knowledge about spiritual herbs. He felt that he had benefited greatly.

"This An Ru is right. As long as I cultivate the spiritual herbs according to the instructions, I should not let these spiritual herbs die so easily." Zhan Chen silently thought.
