Shuijing Department, Lecture Hall.
"The day after tomorrow is the ninth day of September. The five departments of our Wuxiang Academy, plus the fifty disciples from the outer courtyard, will go to the mountains to harvest."
The disciples of the Shui Jing Department gathered together, and the elder Shui Jing on the stage was talking.
"The autumn harvest lasts for three days. After three days, the herbs will be sorted according to their quantity and grade. The ranking will be the assessment result. The top ten will receive sect rewards..."
Each department of Wuxiang Yuan has one elder and four deacons.
The disciples usually practice martial arts under the guidance of the deacon. They only go to the martial arts lecture hall on the tenth day of every month to listen to the elders' martial arts lectures and answer questions.
Today is not the tenth day, but the elder has called everyone together to announce the autumn harvest.
Most of the people present had participated in last year's autumn harvest and listened absentmindedly. Only disciples like Zhao Lin, who had been practicing for less than a year, listened carefully.
Elder Shui Jing continued: "I have finished explaining the rules and matters. If anyone still doesn't understand, you can ask questions."
At this time, a baby-faced disciple stood up and asked: "Elder, since it is allowed to snatch medicinal herbs, why don't we all go together, and we don't have to bother to collect herbs, and just grab one when we see it?"
All the disciples snickered after hearing this, but he himself looked indifferent.
The baby-faced disciple is named Zhang Xiaoshan. He just started this year and is half a year younger than Zhao Lin.
This person is a well-known lazy person in the Shuijing Club. He always wants to take shortcuts when practicing Kung Fu. He also avoids practicing outside when choosing Kung Fu, and only chooses easy ones to practice.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan's father is the elder of the inner dean, his uncle is the protector of the sect, and he is also very talented. The deacons say he is not the same, and they are not the same even if they don't say it, which is a headache for him.
"Wonderful?"
Shui Jing glanced at him with a half-smile, "If all the ministries think so, who will collect the medicine? To say the least, even if others can't think of it and let us succeed, then there is a problem."
"There are more than thirty people in our department. How are we going to divide the stolen medicine? Is it possible that our own people will have to fight again?"
"This..." Zhang Xiaoshan was speechless. He had just started working for five months, and he was not among the top in terms of strength and qualifications. It was not his turn to grab the medicinal herbs.
Shui Jing sighed, "A mountain is so big. It's not easy to find herbs without legs. You still want to catch a living person with two legs?"
Zhang Xiaoshan rolled his eyes and said: "Elder, the top three in Qiu Cai will be rewarded generously. I think there is a loophole in the rules."
Shui Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What loophole?"
"If there are several disciples who are familiar with each other, and each of them doesn't pick many herbs, and they know that they won't be ranked, they can simply give all the herbs to one person, and let him rank in the top ten, or even the top three."
Zhang Xiaoshan touched his hairless chin, shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if that person got a reward and then compensated it to others privately?"
"Miaozai again?"
Shui Jing's face trembled, and he was silent for a while, then said: "This is my fault, I missed something."
"It is strictly forbidden to give or take herbs privately in Qiu. Once discovered, those who have taken other people's medicinal herbs must not only return all rewards, but also be sent to the outer sect to think about their lives for a year."
"The whistleblower will be credited with a great achievement, but would you dare to accept other people's medicinal herbs?"
"That's not cost-effective." Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and sat down listlessly.
Zhao Lin also thought of a question and stood up and said: "Elder, if I collect enough herbs in one day, can I go down the mountain in advance?"
Shui Jing waved his hand and said: "The original intention of autumn harvesting is to collect herbs. We have to stay at least two days. You can only go down the mountain starting at noon on the third day."
"Does anyone else have questions?"
Shui Jing looked around at everyone and saw that no one asked any more questions, and said: "In recent years, our Shui Jing Department has had poor performance and has been hovering at the bottom. This year you have to give me a shout-out!"
There was a sudden silence in the audience.
Among the five departments of Wuxiang Yuan, the most powerful are the Metal and Stone Department and the Fire and Jade Department. For five consecutive years, the two departments have taken turns taking charge.
The Outer Campus 1st Division and the Aoki Division have a larger number of people, and sometimes they can compete for the top three or even second place.
The Shui Jing Department and the Law and Earth Department are close friends. Every year at the end of the autumn harvest, they are laughed at by the disciples of the two Departments of Gold and Fire: Is it because they are incompetent or is it because of their incompetence?
The disciples felt discouraged when they thought about this.
Elder Shui Jing frowned and raised his voice: "Do you know what this year's reward is?"
"Elder, aren't the rewards the same every year?"
"It's almost the same. It's basically the same."
"Yes, changing the soup does not change the medicine..."
The disciples talked a lot.
Elder Shui Jing smiled slightly and said in a deliberately calm tone: "This year is different. The rewards for the top three are more generous, especially the first place, which has been upgraded by more than one level compared to last year!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples became energetic and immediately became quiet.
Zhao Lin also sat up straight and looked at Elder Shui Jing, wanting to hear what this year's reward was.
According to the elder brother, in previous years, the reward for the top ten was a menstrual cleansing soup for quenching the meridians, while the top five were rewarded with two copies, and the first place received a blood-restoring pill.
The human body's energy and blood peak at the age of twenty-five, and then get worse and worse. If a warrior in the energy realm cannot break through to the blood realm before the age of thirty, he will basically have no hope for life.
The function of the Blood Recovery Pill is to stimulate Qi and blood, allowing the peak period to last for another three years, which is three more years of breakthrough time than others.
If this elixir were placed in the outer courtyard, people would definitely flock to it.
However, the disciples of Wuxiang Academy are all talented and extremely high-spirited people. They feel that if they stay in the Qi realm at the age of thirty and barely break through to the Blood realm in the extra three years, their future achievements will be limited.
Although everyone felt that the elixir was good, they were not overly thirsty for it.
No matter what, with a keen sense of smell like a mink, Zhao Lin has already put Qiucai's goal at the top of his mind.
Elder Shui Jing coughed slightly and raised his voice: "The reward for the top ten this year is the menstrual cleansing soup. The second and third place will each get a blood-restoring pill."
The disciples heard that the blood-restoring pill that only the first place could get in previous years was given to the second and third place, and they couldn't help but look forward to the next rewards.
Everyone held their breath and stretched their ears.
"The reward for first place is..."
Elder Shui Jing paused deliberately and then slowly said three words: "Five and Six Pills."
"Ah, it turned out to be Wuliu Dan!"
"Cai! The sect is finally generous."
"Indeed, this time it was a deliberate decision..."
There was an instant exclamation in the audience.
Zhao Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He read a lot of notes in Tianshui Pavilion, and the names of these Five and Six Pills were astonishing to his ears.
The blood realm is divided into three levels, the first level is training the five internal organs, the second level is training the six internal organs, and the third level is blood exchange.
The internal organs are the basis of blood realm cultivation, but because they are hidden, soft and fragile, they are extremely difficult to cultivate.
Wuliu Dan can generate blood and nourish the essence, strengthen the internal organs, and is particularly effective. The Wuliu Dan in its name comes from this.
Unfortunately, the medicinal materials of the Five and Six Pills are difficult to find. Although it is very useful for breaking through from the Qi Realm to the Blood Realm, the Xingyun Sect usually only gives it to the disciples in the inner courtyard who have already reached the Blood Realm to help them continue to break through.
It was the first time in so many years that Wuliu Dan was given as the reward for the first place in autumn harvest.
