"Oh, Brother Teng, please elaborate."
Chen Mobai became interested instantly.
"Junior Brother Chen has outstanding spiritual talent. He is already in the advanced stage of qi training at a young age. I think he will strive for the position of true successor. After all, only by becoming a true successor can you be qualified to exchange for foundation-building pills."
Teng Jie's words were right. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but nodded directly without covering up.
"With Junior Brother Chen's age and talent, he will definitely have a bright future. Our Senior Brother Liu from the Spiritual Planting Department failed to build the foundation last month and his realm has fallen. He should retire from the position of true successor in the next few days."
When Lu Jun heard this, he frowned slightly, but when he thought of the three hundred contributions that Senior Brother Liu had lent to him for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he kept silent.
"With the twenty-four true heirs of the sect, there will be a guaranteed quota for our spiritual plant department. After Senior Brother Liu failed to build the foundation, his vitality has been damaged, and he owes everyone a lot of contributions from the sect. Before it is paid off, he will definitely not be able to return. It’s among the true legends.”
"After Senior Brother Liu, the person in the Lingzhu Department who will replace him as the true successor should be Senior Brother Li Li. However, he is only in charge for a while, and his actual talent is not even as good as that of Senior Brother Liu."
"If Junior Brother Chen joins our Spiritual Planting Department and works hard for ten years, when the next batch of Foundation Establishment Pills are completed and you reach the ninth level of Qi training, you will be able to compete with Senior Brother Li Li or work for my Spiritual Planting Department again. It's better for Uebu to earn a spot as a true successor than to be alone in the mountains."
Chen Mobai's heart skipped a beat when he said this.
Indeed, although Shenmu Sect only requires 10,000 sect contribution points when exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills, there are actually many invisible rules behind the scenes.
For example, real transmissions are given priority.
The true biography is also ranked in sequence.
And in the sequence, those who have never built a foundation have a higher priority than those who have failed to build a foundation once.
According to Chen Mobai's original idea, after a few years of practicing the ninth level of qi, he would choose a true disciple with little background to challenge and replace him in the sect competition.
But now after listening to Teng Jie's words, I understand that if he does this, even if he really succeeds, wouldn't he become a true disciple who has no background and can challenge in the eyes of other disciples?
If you join the Spiritual Planting Department, although you may be a little busier, at least you will have a tree in the Shenmu Sect to protect you from the wind and rain.
But, is it too early to join in now?
Chen Mobai was still hesitating. He was now focused on practicing Qi to perfection first, and really didn't want to waste time on other things.
"Junior Brother Chen, there is another key to redeeming the Foundation Establishment Pill. I wonder if you have considered it."
At this moment, Teng Jie spoke again.
"It must be the sect's contribution."
Chen Mobai also revealed the key point clearly.
Teng Jie nodded and explained the details to him, the new disciple of the sect.
"The setting of sect contribution points is linked to spiritual stones. Most sect tasks are worth as much spiritual stones as they are worth, and how many sect contribution points will be given to those who complete them. This means that we need to earn sect contribution points for the sect. Ten thousand spirit stones can be enough to redeem the sect’s contribution for one foundation-building pill.”
"Among all the sect's tasks, there are very few exceptions. Because the scale is too small, the harvest is too little, and no one is willing to do it, but it is indispensable to the sect, so the Hall of Rewarding Goodness will Adjust the proportion of contribution and guide the disciples of the sect to do this task."
"This kind of field is one of them."
"In other tasks, one spiritual stone is equivalent to one point of sect contribution, and farming takes nearly a year to harvest. During this period, it is necessary to constantly use the spiritual needle technique to kill insects and the falling rain technique to irrigate. We also need to prevent the invasion of birds and beasts. The harvest is not proportional to the effort, which has led to hundreds of acres of spiritual fields in our Shenmu Sect being abandoned. All disciples who know spiritual plants have applied to maintain the medicinal fields."
"Because the value of a first-grade high-grade medicinal herb is equivalent to the harvest of an acre of spiritual land."
"After the monks who have practiced Qi and above have changed their tendons and washed their marrow, in order not to be contaminated by the tacky grains, in addition to Bigu Pill, they also eat spiritual rice. If no one is going to farm, should we ask the Foundation Establishment Elder or even the two ancestors to do it in person? "
"So in order to guide the disciples to farm, the sect has specially adjusted the sect's contribution to farming and increased it to ten times. But even so, many disciples will choose to give up after a year of farming. They feel that they have paid too much and gained more. .”
"If Junior Brother Chen is willing to show his talents, even if he can't take care of too many spiritual fields by himself, he can guide some new disciples and contribute a tenth of the harvest."
"After ten years of this, I'm afraid I won't even need to borrow money from fellow sects when exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills."
After saying this, Chen Mobai was completely moved.
It turns out that the benefits of farming are so great?
But this is mainly because of his superb farming skills from the Immortal Sect and the abundant spiritual energy here in Jumuling.
"Senior brother is so sincere, so I would be disrespectful."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
So, Chen Mobai followed the two of them to Shenmu City in the center of Jumu Ridge.
This is also the only place in Jumu Ridge where mortals live, because outside the city is a vast thousand-acre medicine field, which is also the heart of Shenmu Sect.
There were many elixirs and the Spiritual Planting Department did not have enough manpower, so some ordinary elixirs were left to the care of the mortal descendants of the disciples.
The three halls and twelve departments have offices in Shenmu City, and nearly 80% of the disciples of the entire Lingzhi Department are here to take care of the medicine fields.
After Lu Jun and Tengjie handed over the jade sprout rice in the storage bag to the department manager responsible for storage, they completed a departmental task.
After confirming the acceptance from the Lingzhu Department, Chen Mobai went to Lingbao Pavilion to swipe his Shenmu Sect disciple nameplate, and found that there were 458 more points of sect contribution.
Although this sect's contribution is equivalent to one piece of spiritual stone, in private transfers, the price is about 20% higher.
"Junior Brother Chen, you and Junior Brother Teng wait here for a moment."
Although I was invited, I still need to talk to the leaders above.
Lu Jun walked in with a smile on his face, but immediately walked out with a strange expression.
"Two junior brothers, come in together."
When I walked into a lobby with many chairs, I found a lot of people sitting there.
The three leaders were lined up under a huge map, drinking tea with different expressions.
Below the three of them, there were seven or eight Shenmu Sect disciples sitting on two sides. The one on the left looked pale and seemed to have been seriously injured. The one on the right had scorched skin and thick hands and feet, like an old farmer.
After Chen Mobai and the other three came in, one of the chubby foundation-building monks pointed to an empty seat in the corner, and Lu Jun immediately took them to sit there and listen.
