After entering the Taiqing Pavilion, Yi Tian was sent directly to the West Mountain Spirit Plant Garden as if he was being sent away. Speaking of the Spirit Plant Garden, Yi Tian was really shocked when he first arrived here. The entire 200 li radius of the mountain was part of the Spirit Plant Garden's territory.
In the valley, more than ten mu of spirit fields were opened up, and there were originally many high level spirit plants planted here. Even the Taiqing Pavilion's specialty, the Red Spirit Ginseng, came from these spirit fields.
After arriving here, he exchanged information with the original disciple. After exchanging names, he found out that the original disciple was called Zhang Longtian, who was at the late Incarnation stage and had been guarding here for 500 years.
Afterwards, he checked the register of the Spirit Plant Garden. In this West Mountain Spirit Plant Garden, there were 5 Yuanying cultivators and 30 Jin Dan disciples. Right now, they were all respectfully standing in front of him, listening to his instructions. Normally, these people were in charge of farming. Yi Tian didn't expect that he would be assigned to farming as soon as he entered the sect.
However, this was also good. In the West Mountain, his cultivation and position could be considered the highest. And these cultivators in front of him were all wearing the clothing of the Prime Clear branch. Seeing that they were looking at him suspiciously, Yi Tian didn't waste time and directly placed his identity jade tablet on the table. Then, his spirit pressure slightly leaked out.
These cultivators were all experienced. Although Yi Tian was a new official and didn't wear the clothing of the main branch, his identity jade tablet couldn't be faked. Everyone's gaze swept over the person in front of them and knew that there was no doubt about his identity. Then, they all stood up straight, wanting to leave a good impression on the new supervisor.
After the exchange, the disciple finally felt relieved. He turned his head and said, "In the future, we will trouble Junior Martial Brother Yi to look after this place. Every hundred years, don't forget to hand over the required herbs."
Yi Tian hurriedly replied, "Don't worry Senior Martial Brother Zhang, I definitely won't dare to slack off."
Zhang Longtian pointed to the map of the Spirit Plant Garden and said, "In the Spirit Plant Garden, only the foot of the West Mountain has a Spirit Plant House. Junior Martial Brother can peacefully cultivate here."
At the thought of the many secrets he carried, Yi Tian didn't want to use the places his predecessors had used. He then asked, "I like to live alone. I wonder if there's a place in the Western Mountains where I can open up a paradise?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Longtian pointed at the map and said, "There are a few suitable places on the mountainside of the West Mountain, but Junior Apprentice Brother needs to report to the sect afterwards."
"Of course," Yi Tian replied with a smile. Since he could open a private abode, things would be easier. The spiritual plant pouch that he wanted to see included the Purple Gold Gourd, White Jade Lotus Root, and Nine Tune Spirit Ginseng that he had dug out from his old residence in Luoxia City. In addition, the Purple Jade Wasp larvae that were originally in the back garden were all brought over. This way, they could be transplanted into the new cave abode.
These things could be of great use if they were nurtured a little. Originally, he thought that he would be staying in the sect for a long time and had no time to go back, so he decided to transplant all of them.
After the handover, Zhang Longtian took out the account book, signed it, and left in a hurry. It seemed that he had been trapped here for a long time, and was finally free now.
After he left, Yi Tian used his Divine Perception to carefully read the account book. After a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. However, he muttered in his heart. Every hundred years, the Spirit Plant Garden had to hand over twenty different types of Human-Level Spirit Plants, a total of fifty kilograms. Ten types of Earth-Level Spirit Plants, about twenty kilograms.
This wasn't difficult. The speed of production in the Spirit Plant Garden wasn't slow either. However, there was a limit to the amount of Red Essence Ginseng that was produced. Every time, they had to hand over half a kilogram.
Don't underestimate half a kilogram. Previously, when Zhang Longtian was on duty, he had already been in deficit for three consecutive years. Every year, he was short two taels. After three years, he had left behind half a kilogram of debt.
No wonder he ran away so quickly. He had messed up and wanted him to help him clean up the mess. Thinking of this, his expression changed slightly and he asked, "Which one of you is in charge of growing the Red Essence Ginseng?"
These branch disciples looked at each other and didn't speak. They were all people who knew the inside story. Seeing that the new supervisor wasn't easy to fool, no one dared to jump out and say anything.
Seeing this, Yi Tian's expression became even more serious. He snorted coldly and said, "You are all old people in the Spirit Plant Garden. I heard that there is a promotion path from the branch to the main branch. Don't you all have any ideas about this?"
After he finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed across the eyes of these disciples. Then, it dimmed. In the end, the leader of the disciples walked up and said, "Sir, who doesn't want to use this path to be promoted to the inner sect? However, this Red Essence Ginseng isn't that easy to grow. Not only does it take up the best Spirit Plant Garden, thirty percent of the Spirit Spring Water in the West Mountain is used to grow this Red Essence Ginseng. "
"What's your name? It seems that you are quite good at growing the Red Essence Ginseng. Then let me ask you, how much can be produced in a hundred years?" Yi Tian interrupted the other and asked directly.
"Disciple's name is Zhou Bu 'er. I am the supervisor here. Previously, I helped Guardian Zhang with the division of labor in the Spirit Plant Garden. The production of this Red Essence Ginseng is low to begin with. However, we can still produce one catty or two every hundred years. "The leader replied.
"The production isn't low. Why is there a deficit in the public account? Could it be that someone is embezzling? "Yi Tian said coldly.
Now, no one dared to continue speaking. Even Zhou Bu 'er chose to remain silent. Yi Tian saw this and knew that there was something fishy going on. He then said, "Alright, you all can leave. Don't slack off. I will slowly examine the harvest."
After sending everyone away, Yi Tian first put away the account book. Then, he went to the waist of the West Mountain and took out the Sundial Luo Geng to measure the Spirit Plant Garden.
An hour later, he took out the Taiyuan Sword and started to dig a cave dwelling in the waist of the mountain. This cave dwelling dug deep into the West Mountain and only stopped when it reached the node of the Spirit Plant Garden.
In the end, the cave dwelling was over three hundred feet deep. There were four rooms in the cave and two of them were used to grow Lingzhi. The other room was used as a cultivation room for the Purple Jade Bees. As for the room with the highest concentration of Spirit Qi, it was left for him to cultivate.
After transplanting all of the Spirit Plants he had, Yi Tian set up an illusion formation at the foot of the mountain. This piece of land completely belonged to him. After doing all this, he returned to the cave dwelling and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
As he sat cross-legged, he took out the account book and carefully studied the records on it. After reading it, he realized that the amount of Red Essence Ginseng produced every hundred years in the Spirit Plant Garden was up to standard. Unfortunately, there were always inner sect disciples who came to purchase in private. His predecessor, Zhang Longtian, didn't dare to offend those people and could only give them some.
Although the other party's price was reasonable, Yi Tian understood that as a Spirit Transformation cultivator, Zhang Longtian still had some wealth. It wasn't worthwhile for him to miss out on his share. If he did this, his performance in the Spirit Plant Garden wouldn't be up to standard and he wouldn't be able to obtain enough merit points when he left his post.
However, speaking of this, the person who came the most was called Xiang Dongchen. It was unknown how he was related to the tyrant of the inner sect, Xiang Donghui. Zhang Longtian was afraid of them, but he didn't necessarily care about them. If they pissed him off, he could just find an opportunity to report them to his superiors. However, he was more inclined to deal with this matter privately. No matter what, as long as it made him unhappy, he wouldn't allow it.
