After returning to Yaogu Sect, everyone was still frightened. Ye Ling warned: "Don't mention today's matter to anyone! Otherwise, once Nansheng Sect hears the news and sends people to follow the clues, we will inevitably be implicated. My life is at stake.”
Meng Chang nodded repeatedly and said: "Brother Ye is right! Hehe, if anyone asks, let's just say that we have never been to Changxi, let alone the Monster Crocodile Cave! I won't tell you even if the knife is placed on the neck!"
He Jingsheng was timid and cowardly by nature. When he heard the news that the young master of the Southern Saint Sect had died in the Demon Crocodile Cave, he turned pale with fright and responded repeatedly: "That's right! Everyone has been staying behind closed doors these days to avoid the limelight. .”
Suqin and Zishan also knew the relationship. The Nansheng Sect was powerful and superior to other sects around Fengqiao Town. A major event such as the death of the young sect leader would definitely set off a turbulent storm, and the two girls also fought. I made up my mind not to let anyone get involved inside, and I had to keep everything secret.
The five of them bowed their hands and said goodbye. Ye Ling went to the Yaogu Sect's main hall and handed over his master's orders. He simply told his master, Sect Master Zhao, about the experience and gains of the outing, concealing all the key points. Especially the death of the young master of the Southern Saint Sect, Ye Ling completely concealed it and would never mention a word to his master.
Zhao Yuanzhen, the leader of Yaogu Sect, still had a cold attitude towards Ye Ling. Seeing the evil aura all over his body, he had obviously killed a lot of monsters. It was obvious that he had been working hard these days.
Sect Leader Zhao nodded with satisfaction and did not ask any more questions. He even lazily looked at the results of his hunt for monsters. He just urged: "After you go out to collect herbs and experience, you must continue to study higher-level herbal illustrations and learn how to use them." Identify and plant spiritual herbs. Well, I will assign you a new task to take care of the master's medicinal garden for one month."
Ye Ling had a thought in his mind. Taking care of the medicine garden was a relatively leisurely sect task, and Ye Ling could take care of the sect master's medicine garden and at the same time cut some rare spiritual herbs and plant them in the Immortal Mansion's spiritual field! Grow into the best, sow unlimited seeds!
So Ye Ling readily agreed, but without showing the slightest joy on his face. His expression was as usual, still nonchalant. He received the token from the sect master and respectfully withdrew.
After leaving the main hall of the Yaogu Sect, Ye Ling returned to the cave and hurriedly packed up the things for daily use. He also visited his senior brother Zhuang Liangshou and explained the new tasks assigned by his master, and then moved into the sect master's medicine garden located in the southern valley of the Yaogu Sect. .
On weekdays, the sect leader's Nangu Medicine Garden is tended by the outer sect's handyman disciples in shifts. Now that Ye Ling came, he took the sect leader's token and took charge of the Nangu Medicine Garden, and suddenly became the immediate boss of these outer sect servant disciples.
These outer disciples had seen Senior Brother Ye show his prowess in the competition and defeat the eldest son of the Immortal Cultivation Family in a row. They all admired him from the bottom of their hearts!
Now that they heard that Senior Brother Ye was in charge of the Nangu Medicine Garden, they had to make a tour first. Everyone was cheering in front of him, fanning Ye Ling, and moving chairs. Wherever Ye Ling goes, the outer disciple who moves the chair will move there!
Ye Ling couldn't help but secretly sigh: The world of immortal cultivation really respects the strong, and identity and status change dramatically with the increase in strength. Once he was unknown to the outer sect and no one cared about him, but now he is a disciple of thousands of outer sects of the Yaogu Sect. role model and enjoys generous treatment.
But in his heart, Ye Ling was tired of their support and flattery, and he only cared about the various spiritual herbs growing in Nangu's medicinal garden. Ye Ling checked the herbal illustrations and identified them one by one. Occasionally, if he couldn't remember something, he would ask the followers around him.
After walking around in a circle, Ye Ling suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. The variety of spiritual herbs in the Nangu Medicine Garden was far beyond his imagination!
There is no doubt that the sect master's medicinal garden, the Spiritual Field, is the best in the entire Medicine Valley. Not only are there a wide variety of spiritual herbs planted, but they are also of good vintage. The only thing that dissatisfied Ye Ling was that most of the spiritual herbs of the fourth to sixth levels were planted, and there were very few of the first to third levels. Like the very common honeysuckle, they were not planted at all in the sect master's medicinal garden.
Ye Ling glanced at the dozen or so outer disciples standing beside him, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "They are really in the way, I have to send them back before I can do anything about it!"
So Ye Ling lazily lay down on the wicker chair and asked, "What is the division of labor between you two? Who is responsible for looking after the garden, and who is responsible for watering and weeding?"
Everyone hurriedly gathered around. A second-level Qi practitioner was very attentive. He had a birthmark the size of a copper coin on his right cheek, which was particularly conspicuous. He said respectfully in front of Ye Ling: "Report to Senior Brother Ye! Before Senior Brother came, Nan Gu Yao Everything in the garden is assigned by the subordinates. Hehe, now that Senior Brother Ye is in charge of Nangu Garden, the subordinates are willing to be Senior Brother’s deputy and ensure that this place is managed well so that Senior Brother Ye can sit back and relax!”
Ye Ling was not moved at all and said calmly: "What's your name?"
"Sun Erhu! Hehe, Elder Sun is my distant cousin."
Ye Ling nodded. He had stayed in Qingzhuyuan, the outer gate of Medicine Valley for a long time. He was well aware of some of the sophistication of the outer gate. He cursed in his heart. Only people like Sun Erhu, who were related to the foundation-building elders in the sect, could It's possible to have such a leisurely job.
However, when Ye Ling saw him standing with his hands down and respectful, unlike him, Ye Ling still asked calmly: "Oh? So you are also from the Sun Cultivation Family?"
Sun Erhu kept smiling and said bitterly: "Where, where, my family is just a distant branch of the Sun family, not the descendants of the cultivating immortal family. Hey! The real direct descendants of the Sun family, who are popular and drink spicy food, are not like My subordinates are so poor. This is because of Elder Sun’s credit, which allowed them to gain a foothold in the Medicine Valley. Otherwise, they would have been assigned to dig spiritual minerals at the mining sites outside the valley.”
Ye Ling's face softened slightly. Seeing that he was eloquent and able to take advantage of both sides, he was also groveling. What he said was also very miserable: as if he was afraid that something would happen to the emperor and his courtiers. He was afraid that Ye Ling would no longer use him and throw away such a good person. Like an errand.
Ye Ling pondered for a moment and thought to himself, regardless of this person's character, I can use this mouth that answers questions and answers, and his clever demeanor to get things done. It's just right for me to run errands and inquire about news.
The remaining guys must be watering and weeding every day, and they must be very familiar with every plant and tree in the Nangu Medicine Garden. If Ye Ling prunes branches and leaves quietly, it will inevitably leave traces and be surprised by these guys. But it's different when it comes to newbies. They can't notice the difference in the spiritual grass after cutting the branches and leaves, so these people must change!
Thinking of this, Ye Ling nodded and said: "Sun Erhu, you stay. Tomorrow you go to the Outer Deacon Hall to find Li Bao and bring in seven or eight new people. The rest of the people should be sent away. You can all go!"
Everyone was stunned, and immediately looked disappointed and left in despair.
Only Sun Erhu smiled happily and said with a smile: "Yes! I will obey Senior Brother Ye's order! It's getting late today, so early tomorrow morning, I will go to the Outer Deacon Hall. I must replace it with some hard-working junior brothers! Hehe , I wonder if Senior Brother Ye wants an external female disciple to serve him? My subordinates will do it together."
Ye Ling pondered for a moment, realizing that most girls are too careful, which is not conducive to his plan of cutting branches and leaves, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't bother! Female cultivators don't want it."
Sun Erhu hit a soft nail. In order to please Ye Ling, he said sarcastically: "Senior Brother Ye dismissed them. There will be no one on duty tonight. The subordinates will stay to guard the medicine garden."
Ye Ling cursed in his heart: This blind guy! But his face didn't show it, he just said coldly: "Do you think I am a dead person? The sect leader ordered me to take charge of the Nangu Medicine Garden. Of course I will live here for a month. With me here at night, who dares to mess around? Break in!”
"Yes, yes! My subordinates deserve to die. Senior Brother Ye fulfills his duties to the tasks assigned by the sect master, which makes his subordinates admire him very much!"
Sun Erhu was frightened and flattered, which made him really depressed.
Ye Ling glanced at him, softened his tone, and sighed in a pretentious manner: "Well, there is nothing we can do about it. I have to be busy in the Nangu Medicine Garden recently. According to what the sect master said, let me identify the spiritual herbs, I am familiar with the growth conditions and environment of Spirit Grass. I have to complete this task as soon as possible and have no time to wander elsewhere. So in your spare time, go to Maple Bridge Town to find out some interesting information and tell me when you come back."
Sun Erhu slapped his thigh and jumped with joy. I dare say that this is what Senior Brother Ye likes!
When Sun Erhu thought of having the opportunity to go to Maple Bridge Town, he felt as if he was sure of his leave. Not to mention how beautiful it was, he nodded and said, "No problem! I like to inquire about gossips, so I won't let you know." Senior Brother Ye is disappointed! Haha, Senior Brother Ye is still wise and kind to his subordinates, and his subordinates respect him infinitely! If the elders and elite disciples of the entire Medicine Valley are as enlightened as Senior Brother Ye, why worry about our Medicine Valley not being prosperous!"
Ye Ling was impatient to listen to his flattery and said calmly: "You should also go back. At six o'clock tomorrow morning, bring someone to my place to have some mao."
Sun Erhu cupped his fists and saluted, and left happily.
After he left, Ye Ling looked around without anyone, picked up a medicine hoe, and wandered around the Nangu medicine garden, pretending to be weeding, quietly cutting the branches and leaves of the spiritual grass, and quietly moved it into the Xianfu jade pendant!
In this way, even if a foundation-building elder from the sect passes by with his sword light, Ye Ling can easily answer the question correctly, saying that he is cutting dead branches and weeding the spiritual field of the medicine garden, and no one will be suspicious.
What's more, Ye Ling only cuts one plant of each type of spiritual grass in the garden. All he needs is a small leaf or a small section of rhizome. With the powerful spiritual power of the Immortal Mansion Spiritual Field, it is not difficult to grow the best of this type of spiritual grass. ! And can be planted indefinitely.
In this way, Ye Ling cut branches and leaves while dividing his mind, soaking in the jade pendant of Xianfu, planting these branches and leaves in the spiritual field of Zhaixing Cliff in Xianfu, and harvesting them after they grow to the best quality at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In this way, in one night, Ye Ling planted a total of seventy or eighty kinds of first- to sixth-grade spiritual herbs, all of which were stored in the small wooden house on Zhaixing Cliff for future emergencies.
