After Qin Taibao was rescued from poisoning, he found that the black tongue orchid and centipede grass in his storage bag suddenly disappeared, so he naturally suspected Tian Xiaoding. Enduring the unhealed pain, Qin Taibao came to Kaiyang Peak to ask Xiaoding for two spiritual herbs.
Of course Xiao Ding knew that his two spiritual grasses had been taken over by Zhao Jue'er, but he did not tell Qin Taibao directly, but asked Qin Taibao to find out for himself.
Qin Taibao was about to continue asking. At this time, Li Tianliang ran over happily, shouting that there was good news.
Li Tianliang came to the two of them and learned that Qin Taibao came for the two spiritual herbs in his storage bag, so he said: "Your spiritual herbs were taken away by Senior Sister Zhao. If you don't go to her to get them, But you come here to make noise!"
When Qin Taibao first heard that his spiritual herb had been taken away by Zhao Jue'er, he didn't believe it at all, so he said decisively: "That's impossible. How could someone as beautiful as Junior Sister Zhao take my spiritual herb? It must be so. It was you two who took my spiritual grass and blamed it on Junior Sister Zhao. Stop talking nonsense and return the spiritual grass to me!"
When Xiao Ding heard this, he curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Whether you believe it or not, that's your business. If you don't believe it, you can ask her. We have other things to do now and don't have time to talk to you. Just leave!"
Qin Taibao was ordered to be expelled and seemed a little embarrassed. But in his heart, he still didn't want to believe that Zhao Jue'er would take his spiritual grass, but when he saw the two Xiao Ding's very sure tone, he was also a little shaken in his heart. Seeing that Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang were about to turn around and go back to the house, no longer planning to talk to him, he had no choice but to ask for trouble and said: "Then I will ask Junior Sister Zhao. If she didn't take it, I will come to you again." The two settle accounts!"
After Qin Taibao staggered away, Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang also returned to the room. Xiao Ding then asked Li Tianliang: "Just now you said there was good news. What good news is it? Come and tell me."
When Li Tianliang heard Xiao Ding mention this, he immediately became excited again. He said happily: "Brother Tian, you may not know it yet. We, the outer disciples of Kaiyang Peak, actually need to be responsible for planting the sect's fields. of."
"Uh... you still farm?" Xiao Ding said. In his impression, he seemed to be a cultivator who could just practice cultivation.
"Of course, most of the people on our Tiankun Star Continent are immortal cultivators, and the number of ordinary mortals is very rare. If we just rely on the food grown by ordinary mortals, it will not be enough to eat. Therefore, the major sects of cultivating immortals basically Shangdu will have fertile fields cultivated by itself, and then its disciples will be responsible for planting them to ensure the food needs of the sect." Li Tianliang explained.
"Oh, that's it!" Xiao Ding was immediately relieved. It turned out that in all major cultivation sects, disciples in the Qi training period accounted for the majority, so the amount of food required by the sect was also very huge. Such a huge quantity is definitely not enough to rely solely on the food grown by mortals. Therefore, in addition to daily practice, disciples of the major cultivating sects also need to ensure self-sufficiency.
Seeing that Xiao Ding had understood, Li Tianliang continued: "It is spring now. Some time ago, we scattered the seeds into the fields. Now the seedlings have grown, but the wild birds, mice and other small animals in the mountains are quite... There are many, and they often go to the fields to harm the seedlings of crops. Therefore, at this time every spring, the sect will arrange some outer disciples to guard the fields to prevent the seedlings in the fields from being harmed by birds and beasts."
"Guarding the fields? Do you think you will live there?" Xiao Ding suddenly thought, if he could live there, would he be able to live alone?
"Of course you have to live in the fields, because animals like wild rats and badgers also go to the fields at night." Li Tianliang replied.
As soon as Xiao Ding heard that he could live over there in the field, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'm going to guard the field. Where do I need to sign up?"
When Li Tianliang saw Xiao Ding being so anxious, he quickly smiled and said, "Brother Tian, don't be anxious. I went to Master Yu Heng after dinner this morning and happened to catch up with him discussing this matter with his disciples, so I immediately reported all the four people in our dormitory. Uncle Yu Heng agreed to the matter at that time. Each of the four of us was responsible for guarding ten acres of land. For each day of guarding, the sect would reward us with twenty contributions. Points, do you think this is good news?"
"This is indeed good news! When will we start guarding the fields?" Xiao Ding is not only happy that he can earn twenty points every day, but he is happy that if he goes to guard the fields, he can have a separate Accommodation.
"Uncle Yu Heng naturally means that the sooner the better. If you can go today, you can go there today." Li Tianliang was also very happy. What he was happy about was that he had points to earn again.
The other two people in the same room, Deng Feng and Shan Tong, were very happy to hear that Li Tianliang also signed up for them. Because they had just joined the sect, they only had the initial one hundred points in their jade cards, and they would not even be able to eat after they used them up. Now that they had a job to earn points, they were naturally very happy.
Xiao Ding was even more impatient when he heard that he could go there on the same day. Thinking of being able to live alone tonight, I have a lot of expectations in my heart.
So, he said, "Then can we pack up now and go there?"
Li Tianliang said with a smile: "Senior Brother Tian, you are too anxious. When I came back, the inner disciples of Uncle Yu Heng told me that I need to bring them with me when I go to the field. For some daily necessities, there are only simple huts there, and there is no luggage inside. Every spring, the outer disciples who go to guard the fields need to bring their own daily necessities."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's pack our things quickly!" Xiao Ding said looking at several people.
However, Li Tianliang spoke again unhurriedly and said: "Brother Tian, it's not enough to pack things. We still need to go to the kitchen and exchange points for some grain and vegetables. Otherwise, we Once you go to the fields, you have nowhere to eat.”
When Xiao Ding heard this, he thought it was really troublesome. In fact, in his jade pendant space, he had always been accustomed to stocking some daily necessities, as well as grain, food, fresh water, etc. However, it has not been replenished for a long time. The original things, especially food, have long since been stored. It was almost eaten to the bottom.
As for daily necessities, Xiao Ding needs to pack very few things. His jade pendant space has all the common items, such as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, luggage, tents, beds, etc. There is no shortage of everything.
Li Tianliang, Deng Feng and Shan Tong are relatively more troublesome. Fortunately for Li Tianliang, he is already at the third level of Qi training and has developed spiritual consciousness. He can use the storage bag issued by the sect to store his things.
As for Deng Feng and Shan Tong, they are currently only at the first level of Qi training and have not yet developed their spiritual consciousness. They cannot use the storage bags issued by the sect, so it is very troublesome for them to organize the things they need to organize.
Later, it was Xiao Ding who took the initiative to tell the two of them to put their things in order, and then Xiao Ding helped them put them into the storage bag given to him by the sect and took them over.
Xiao Ding used this sect-issued storage bag for the first time. He used his spiritual consciousness to explore inside and found that the space inside was not as big as the space of his jade pendant, only about four or five cubic meters in size. It's okay to store some daily necessities, but items that are too big cannot be put inside.
After the four of them packed up their things, they went to the kitchen and exchanged their points for some rice, noodles and vegetables. As for fresh water, there is a well next to the dormitory. You can fill the space with as much water as you want.
When exchanging rice, Xiao Ding discovered that the rice grains on Kunming that day were as big as soybean grains on Earth! The flour is all powder, so I can't see any difference.
Xiao Ding had a lot of points in his jade card, and he felt that there would be no harm in storing more food in the space, so he bought a lot of extra rice and flour. As for vegetables, the number of vegetables in the kitchen is also very limited. Even if Xiao Ding wants to change more, they will not change them.
After the four of them packed up everything, Li Tianliang led the way toward the back mountain of Kaiyang Peak.
The four of them are actually newcomers. Only Li Tianliang came a while earlier than the other three. Li Tianliang caught up with Chunzhong, so he knew the specific location of the Kaiyang Peak field.
After the four of them arrived at the back mountain, they soon saw a large valley below the hillside. In the valley, there is a large piece of flat land, estimated by visual inspection to be hundreds of acres. Directly covering the entire valley.
After the four of them walked down the hillside and came to the fields in the valley, they found that some outer disciples had already arrived.
The field in the valley is not very wide, but its length is very long and narrow, spreading out according to the trend of the valley. Every ten acres or so, there is a simple wooden house built on the edge of the field. Xiao Ding could guess at a glance that these wooden houses must be where the outer disciples who come to guard the fields every year live.
Li Tianliang found the location of the forty acres of land arranged by the sect for the four of them, and then Xiao Ding helped Deng Feng and Shan Tong deliver their things to their wooden houses.
When Li Tianliang and the other three were about to part, Li Tianliang also gave special instructions, saying that everyone must take good care of the seedlings in the fields and not be ruined by birds and beasts. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to get reward points, A large number of points will also be deducted depending on the situation.
After hearing this, Xiao Ding felt that the rewards and punishments stipulated by the sect were also very good, so that some individual disciples would not have to work in the fields and still get paid.
After Xiao Ding and the four of them were in their places, Xiao Ding discovered that the wooden house he was about to live in was about dozens of feet away from the Li Tianliang wooden house and Deng Feng wooden house. This made Xiao Ding extremely happy.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart: This time he can finally study the magic weapons he snatched from the tomb robbers!
