Ningxia didn't pay attention to the slightly complicated look in the eyes of the person facing her.
She nodded to several people one by one and then looked towards the medicine field.
Ten thousand taels of gold?
This word is a bit unfamiliar, at least I have not heard this word in the memory of Ningxia in the cultivation world for more than ten years. But she still had some impressions of it, and it was already a very long time ago.
This time he set off from the southeastern border to China. To be on the safe side, Ningxia read through the memo several times and sorted out the timeline. Although the plot has long been in chaos, the main subject of the plot line, Tiandao, has not changed, and the context is similar.
The reason why she was impressed by this was because it involved a little bit of the plot in the future.
Wanliangjin, also known as Changling Fruit, is a century-old spiritual grass. As the name suggests, it takes hundreds of years to complete the growth of the entire series without prompting.
It will take another eighty to one hundred and fifty years for the spiritual plant to mature and bear fruit. The subsequent refining of the Eternal Spirit Fruit is even more complicated. It needs to be supplemented with various precious spiritual materials and takes several months to refine and purify it before it can finally be condensed into a small amount of oil. This essential oil can be used as a "binder" for refining various high-level elixirs, magic weapons, and even spiritual swords. Even adding just one or two drops when refining elixirs may improve the quality of the elixirs to a certain extent.
This item is inherently rare, and the resources and time spent refining it far exceed its value. The production cycle is difficult, and the failure rate is extremely high. It is rarely circulated on the market, and even if it is, it is mostly taken over by high-level alchemy and weapon refiners. It has a price but no market, so it is also jokingly called "ten thousand taels of gold".
Compared with other five-year-old and ten-year-old plants, its growth cycle is indeed longer. Even for the world of cultivation, which is accustomed to long lifespans, it is considered long. To put it bluntly, if the monks in the Qi refining stage don't work hard at cultivation, they may only live for a few years.
Of course, under normal circumstances, they would not farm it for hundreds of years honestly, that would be too extravagant. Especially in terms of the subsequent breeding process of the Longling Fruit, the process of growing and refining this thing is already extremely difficult. If it takes a hundred years to grow the spiritual plant itself, then not many sects can afford to grow it.
However, the ultimate purpose of planting spiritual materials and plants is to put them into daily use. The spiritual materials and plants that can be harvested in the wild are really limited. If they could, who wouldn't want to use enough old and high-quality spiritual materials and spiritual plants, but they couldn't get those things at will.
After a long period of evolution, the monks have gradually evolved a method of promoting the growth of spiritual plants, which can reduce the growth cycle of a large number of spiritual plants to one percent or even one thousandth. The price paid for the spiritual plants growing like this is at best quality.
Therefore, the first difficulty with ten thousand taels of gold lies in the planting cycle. Even after prompting, it will take at least three to five years for this century-old spiritual plant to grow into seedlings. Before that, most of the time it existed as a seed, just like dead... So who was so generous that he accepted the introductory mission for the child?
The so-called entry tasks are tasks provided to low-level disciples at the entry stage. The threshold is low and simple, allowing people to earn basic cultivation resources. However, the completion of this kind of entry-level task needs to be evaluated. If you can't complete it after taking a few orders, you will be blacklisted several times. It will be really miserable if you can't even complete this kind of task.
When they first came here, they were in urgent need of resources. How could they endure such a task that would take three to five years, not to mention that it was very easy to die in the seedling stage. Wouldn't taking on this kind of mission be equivalent to gambling?
Ningxia thought about it and finally asked: "How did you come up with the idea of taking on this task?" First she had to figure this out.
Several people looked at each other, and the foundation-building monk who had just turned his back quickly reacted: "We chose it ourselves, because the other entry-level tasks contributed very little, and only a few can see it. In addition, you don't have to go out for this one, so everyone We discussed this together and chose this. So is there any problem with this mission?"
Ning Xia knew at a glance that the other party should be the leader of this group of people, and she responded quickly without thinking. However, it sounds like this is not a big hole deliberately dug by the Shanwu Office. Ningxia feels a little at ease, because it is very frustrating to have this kind of thing one after another.
"Spiritual planting is no problem, but it can almost make things worse for our current situation. It may not be possible to grow this thing even if it takes three to five years of normal planting. I'm afraid your introductory mission will be difficult in a short time. It can't be completed." Ningxia didn't have the heart to attack them, so it didn't mention its high failure rate.
But when the people on the other side heard about "three or five years", they were immediately dumbfounded. Three to five years... What kind of introductory mission is this? It will take three to five years to complete just this one mission, and even though the reward points are many, they are not worth the time and energy spent. How can this be? What they once thought was an easy "farming" task turned out to be extremely deceiving.
A few younger-looking disciples across from him were still dumbfounded and seemed a bit confused.
The person who answered first just now was different. As expected, the leader of these people, his face was red and white, and his face almost turned black in the blink of an eye. He almost gritted his teeth and said: "That guy actually deliberately showed up in front of us. Saying that those tasks don't have many contribution points, let's choose this kind of task... "It's hard work, but it has more contribution points", it turns out that this is the hard work method, and I lost the money in vain - "I'm really being fooled Thoroughly.
Li Jue didn't dare to say that he was clever enough to give benefits to the disciple in charge of the registration task in the mountain office in order to find out the information. Thinking of asking for some convenience, the other party also accepted the things.
In the end, the other party did give them a reminder, but this reminder seemed to be misleading. Not only was the other party inconvenient, but they also deceived them with a few words.
Now he finally knew what was going on with the meaningful expression on the other party's face, and he was afraid that he was laughing in his heart that they had to jump down the pit to deliver things. They were really a bunch of fools.
It’s just that he really can’t say it. He can’t say it to his junior brothers and sisters who had to cling to his existence in the past and are now beginning to question him due to changes in the environment. He can’t even tell his uncle Fu Feng who defeated him when his cultivation level was far lower than him. "Say...if he did, it would probably completely shatter the little self-esteem he had left."
"You all accepted this mission?" Ning Xia asked again.
Several people nodded in frustration. If the mission hadn't been registered with their names, they might have run away just like the other people, and the few people who were left here to worry couldn't run away.
The workload of six people is troublesome.
