The lady in purple closed fist saluted but did not say anything. She knew it was useless to talk to these four people.
"Elder Zhou! Elder Zhou! "The two ladies in purple called out again.
"Coming, coming. Why are you calling at night?!" A plump elder drifted out. He was as round as a ball. His eyebrows and beard were long and white, swaying with the wind.
"Elder Zhou, we're here to send someone." A lady in purple closed fist saluted and smiled. "He was originally the first among the outer mountain disciples. He lost in a sparring match and was sent here for a year. Is that right?"
"Yes. Since Junior Sister Xu wants to stay, Cui Da will go to the dining hall. Zhao Dahe will enter the Spirit Medicine Nursery."
"Come in." Elder Zhou waved at Chu Li.
The lady in purple said, "Zhao Dahe, from now on, you'll have to stay in the Spirit Medicine Nursery. Other than eating at the Flavorful Tower and training at the martial arts field, you'll have to spend the rest of your time in the Spirit Medicine Nursery. Other than the martial arts field and the Flavorful Tower, you're not allowed to go anywhere else."
"Yes." Chu Li closed fist saluted.
"Go in." The lady in purple waved.
Chu Li stepped into the ravine. The spiritual energy became denser.
Elder Zhou patted Chu Li's shoulder with his chubby hand. "First place. Not bad, not bad. Haha!"
He laughed in satisfaction.
Chu Li closed fist saluted helplessly.
Elder Zhou said, "My name is Zhou Huang. You can call me Elder Zhou. I'm in charge of you. Come, follow me. You'll take over Cui Da's garden. He's an idiot and messed it up. You're out of luck."
He brought Chu Li into the ravine.
They passed by many houses. The houses were surrounded by railings from afar. Within the railings were about two acres of spirit medicine.
The moonlight was like water. Everyone was still busy in the Spirit Medicine Nursery. They were all middle-aged men and women.
Finally, they arrived at the innermost Spirit Medicine Nursery.
It was right under the mountain wall. The morning sun did not shine through, so it was the worst spot. The plants would grow slower with less sunlight.
Under the moonlight, Cui Da was wielding a small and exquisite jasper hoe to remove weeds.
Chu Li scoffed. Cui Da came back so fast!
"This idiot is too slow at weeding!" Zhou Huang glared at Cui Da from afar and scoffed. "The most troublesome part of the Spirit Medicine Nursery is weeding. These weeds grow much faster than the Spirit Medicine. They're dense and fast. Once they're discovered, they must be uprooted within a day. Otherwise, the Spirit Medicine will be affected and its quality and quantity will decrease!"
Chu Li nodded.
Zhou Huang said, "Every parterre has a mission. For example, your parterre has to harvest five hundred Golden Glow Grass every month."
"What if I can't complete it?" Chu Li asked.
Zhou Huang chuckled. "It's fine if you can't complete it. You can leave the Spirit Medicine Nursery when you're done."
"Lose the right to challenge next year?"
"That's right!" Zhou Huang scoffed. "You can't even take care of spirit herbs, so what else can you do? It's better to work honestly! "
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "What if it happens to be completed in the first month of the second year?"
"That's impossible." Zhou Huang said, "In the second year in the Spirit Medicine Nursery, if you want to make up for what you've lost in the previous year, you'll have to finish the second year first. Only then can you make up for what you've lost in the previous year. Do you understand?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
"If you can't achieve your goal," Chu Li said with a frown, "you won't stay here forever, will you?"
"If you can't complete it in five years, you'll have to become an outer mountain disciple." Zhou Huang spread his hands.
He pointed at Cui Da. "I think idiots like him are in great danger. Fortunately, you've come and saved his life. Otherwise, he'll be stuck here for five years and kicked out of the Great Light Peak!"
Chu Li smiled. "Looks like I'm his savior."
"Of course!" Zhou Huang scoffed. "Young Xu is different. She's very talented in growing spirit herbs. She'll definitely exceed the quota!"
"Elder Zhou, I'm also very talented in growing flowers. I've been growing flowers since I was young." Chu Li quickly said, "I'm a veteran. What's the reward if I exceed the quota?"
"The reward will be generous," Zhou Huang said. "You can be rewarded with a piece of land. You can grow your own spirit herbs, and the herbs you grow will belong to you. You can sell them to the herbalist hall or exchange them for spirit pills with the herbalist hall. Alternatively, you can learn how to refine pills yourself."
Chu Li's eyes immediately lit up.
"Young man, don't bite off more than you can chew. It's not easy to grow spirit herbs!" Zhou Huang scoffed. "Let's go. Get Cui Da out of here. I can't tolerate him for even a moment longer!"
Then, he raised his voice and shouted, "Cui Da!"
Cui Da looked up and saw Zhou Huang. He quickly ran over with an exquisite jade hoe. "Elder Zhou!"
"You can leave now. You can report to the cafeteria from today onwards." Zhou Huang scoffed.
Cui Da's face was still slightly pale. He had been injured by Chu Li's palm, but it was not a big deal.
