Just as he was about to open his mouth to chase him away, he looked at his barren flower field and the slightly thin flower seedlings and changed his mind.
"I don't need you for watering and fertilizing. I can still move! However, I do lack some fertilizer here. You stepped on my seeds, so it's not too much to leave something behind, right? "
Such a request was really …
"Where is it?" To be honest, this request was not a big deal. Lou Xiaoyi was not a clean freak.
"Behind the forest. Find a new pit. I'm old and my internal organs are limited. I can't produce too much. I'm not as good as you young people …"
After Lou Xiaoyi turned to the forest, there were indeed more than ten shallow pits lined up in a row. They were probably used for composting according to the time. The fermentation rate was different and there were all kinds of smells mixed together. Some of them were already filled and some were still empty. These were the new pits that the old man had mentioned.
Lou Xiaoyi found a new pit at the edge. Just as he was about to squat down, the old man's voice rang out.
"Pull next to each other! This way, it's easier to determine the time of composting! It's against the rules if you hide so far away! "
In front of Yuanying, there was no hidden agenda! Even if they were now in a declining period!
Lou Xiaoyi did not complain. He changed to another pit and squatted down, using all his strength … He had not eaten much recently, so there was no way to make something out of nothing. Therefore, the quantity was a little low.
After composting, he pulled up his pants and walked out of the forest. The old man was beaming with joy.
"Good, good, good. Young man, you're not bad. You're welcome to come again next time. We don't owe each other anything now …"
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and nodded. It was his first time coming into contact with them, so there was no need to pester them. These old men had strange tempers and were hard to understand.
"I may come again to disturb senior in the future. Senior, please don't find me troublesome!"
He walked over the gentle slope and the old man's voice came from behind him. "Next time, remember to eat more before you come! Especially big fish and meat! You're so young and yet you've only contributed so much … "
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his first contact with these old guys would be a bridge built with feces. The world was strange and funny.
Most of the people on Zhonglao Peak had a weird temper like the old man who grew flowers. He didn't care. If they were willing to talk to him, he would talk to them. If they were impatient, he would leave on his own. There was nothing to complain about. When he was in this state, he might not be much better than them.
In this way, he had gotten to know these old fellows. The main reason was through Old Man Huang, the old man who forced him to grow fat. They couldn't be considered friends despite the difference in age, nor could they be considered old friends at first sight. They just didn't dislike each other, that was all.
They were all human sperm. How could it be so easy for others to dig out their hearts? Besides, if he really took it out, would you be able to catch it?
Lou Xiaoyi never opened his mouth to ask anything. He didn't expect this. The most important reason he came here was to feel their attitude towards life. They were leisurely, detached, and faintly insistent.
He didn't come here every day, but every few days. First, he came to Old Man Huang's place to leave the fertilizer. Then, he went to Fatty Qian's place to see his sculpture. Then, he went around the mountainside to listen to a few old men reciting poems. Then, he climbed up to admire Granny Hua's embroidery, and so on.
This process was actually a process of calming his heart!
A cultivator calming his heart wasn't just sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes to concentrate. That was a shallow level of meditation. It only meant that he could practice martial arts.
True tranquility was a kind of attitude deep in one's soul. Through a pair of calm eyes, one could clearly see the more fundamental things of the cultivation world. This was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It required time, and also this kind of sensibility!
Zhenren Nan did what he said. He didn't bother him with those trivial matters. In this year, he could live according to his own cultivation rhythm. This made him very satisfied.
When his state of mind finally settled down, a new task came.
"You go to the East Sea to pick up a group of people! Here is their detailed information. Familiarize yourself with it and set off as soon as possible! "
Lou Xiaoyi took the jade slip from Zhenren Nan. After scanning it with his divine sense, he already knew the general situation.
This was a family, the An Family of the East Sea! Their ancestors were also glorious. 20,000 years ago, they were one of the seventeen top sects of the Blue Sky Big World. It was a big sect that focused on alchemy.
However, in the historical changes of the Blue Sky Cultivation World, this kind of sect that had a foothold in alchemy but didn't have the ability to fight gradually declined like most sects. Especially in the thousands of years when the Blue Sky Spiritual Opportunity collapsed, they suffered a heavy blow!
The spiritual plants, spiritual grass, and spiritual beasts disappeared, and the basic materials for alchemy were gone. Orthodoxies like Zhenren Nan found it difficult to establish themselves in the cultivation world. Therefore, there was a split. Some families went to the Fifth Ring to seek refuge, and some stayed in the Blue Sky Big World. When the Spiritual Opportunity recovered, the power had already collapsed and couldn't return to its heyday.
For sects like theirs, their disciples were still very popular. After all, every force needed some alchemists, and they were talents that all forces fought over. Xuanyuan had also made a move before, but the disciples of this orthodoxy seemed to be more accepting of the Law Branch's olive branch, and kept a respectful distance from the Sword Branch.
One of the families was the family that carried the tripod of Zhenren Nan. It was called the An Family. However, it stayed in the East Sea and struggled to survive, trying to recreate its past glory.
Their ambition was good, but their strength was lacking. After thousands of years, they experienced a lot of ups and downs. Even if they wanted to revive, they were powerless. Once the trend in the cultivation world was formed, it was very difficult to change. It wasn't something that could be done with hard work, not to mention that they didn't have enough strength.
"Is this An related to Xuanyuan?"
Nan Zhenren nodded, "She's the wife of an earth-shaking figure in Xuanyuan. Tens of thousands of years ago, they had a good relationship with Xuanyuan. At that time, we relied on them for a lot of medicinal pills.
Ever since the Clear Sky Spiritual Opportunity was restored, we returned the old land of the Eastern Sea's Reverence Yellow True Sect to them. We even chased away the overlord of the Eastern Sea, the Jade Clear Sect, just to give them a safe space to develop!
It's a pity that mud can't support a wall. They can't defend their business, and they can't even start a business. If it weren't for my Xuanyuan's secret support, even the Revered Yellow Sect's old nest, the Thousand Ji Valley, would have been taken away long ago!
But he had bitterly held on until now, and it was difficult to continue! The An Clan has failed to live up to our expectations, and our Mount Yi is also in an awkward situation right now. It's not good to expand our business too much. Even the Northern Region is somewhat powerless to defend, and vile people are spying on us, not to mention the An Clan, who is far away in the Eastern Sea.
This time, it's the An Clan who took the initiative to send a letter, asking for the Northern Region's protection. They no longer insist on their dream of reviving Mount Yi, which they have persisted for tens of thousands of years!
I'm sending you to bring them back as safely as possible. This is a matter of the domain, and it's not good for Yuanying to intervene! "
"There's a force that can stop them?" Lou Xiaoyi was very sensitive.
Nan Zhenren sighed, "For an orthodoxy like the Revered Yellow True Sect, the most valuable thing is these cultivators who know how to refine pills. The rest is not worth mentioning!
If they want to close their business, of course, it will attract countless spying eyes. Who doesn't want to have a few more mature pill refiners in their own sect? Those are all piled up with resources, so how can they leave so easily?
Of course, it's difficult. If it's not difficult, why would I send you? Just send someone … "
