With a wave of his hand, Chen Hanqing fixed his salary at one hundred taels a day, which made Lu Jing feel a little embarrassed.
After all, no matter what Wen Xiaochuan tried to persuade Chen Hanqing, he was willing to lower his body to dig ginseng for Lu Jing, his "love rival". Obviously, he didn't have much money.
On the contrary, if Lu Jing could continue his ginseng planting business smoothly, he would not be short of these few hundred taels of silver.
However, Lu Jing had interacted with Chen Hanqing several times and knew that although the latter was soaring in the academy, he was actually very sensitive inside because he was not taken seriously in the sect before.
Since he said it would be a hundred days, if Lu Jing rashly added money, it might irritate him and cause him to misunderstand that Lu Jing was using money to humiliate him.
And it was so difficult to recruit people these days. It would be easy to get rid of Chen Hanqing, but it would be difficult to find such a high-quality and low-cost helper.
In fact, Lu Jing now probably figured out why Chen Hanqing was here.
Wen Xiaochuan was right. Most of the academy disciples came from well-known families and were not short of money. If possible, they would even like to convert the money in their hands into time and use it for cultivation.
That is to say, an honest kid like Chen Hanqing, who comes from an ordinary family, is not taken very seriously in the family, and has not made any money, still has to work and study.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing felt a little sympathetic to Chen Hanqing, but since Chen Hanqing himself had nailed it in terms of wages, Lu Jing could only think of compensation methods from other aspects.
He said to Chen Hanqing, "A hundred and two days is no problem for me, but since we are all academy disciples, we should put our studies first. Well, you can help me work for two hours a day in the medicine field. That’s about it.”
"Does Master Lu look down on me, Mr. Chen?" Chen Hanqing looked unhappy when he heard this, "Although you and I are at odds because of Miss Wen, since I have accepted your money, I will definitely do a good job, two people a day If there is enough time to do anything, don’t worry, I will do it for at least five hours.”
"This is too bad." Lu Jing lamented, "My ginseng is not easy to dig. It would take too much to work for five hours."
"What's the cost of digging ginseng?" Chen Hanqing disagreed, "When I was a child, I would walk for more than five hours every day."
"I'm not talking about physical exhaustion, I'm talking about mental exhaustion."
Lu Jing knew how frantic it was to search for ginseng in a large area of dense weeds. People with an impatient temper would probably flip the table over in a short time.
And even a good-natured person would probably be in a state of confusion even after five hours of playing around with everyone looking for trouble.
However, Chen Hanqing obviously didn't know what challenge he was about to face. Seeing that Lu Jing was still scratching his head, he said decisively, "There is no need to worry about the mental aspect. Although I, Chen Hanqing, possess a first-class secret cauldron, I still have He is a determined person.”
"There is no turning relationship between the two things you mentioned, right?" Lu Jing rolled his eyes and couldn't help complaining, "I think you just want to show off that you have a first-class secret cauldron... Oh, forget it, it’s up to you, you can do it for as long as you want.”
After several attempts, Lu Jing gave up on persuading Chen Hanqing. This guy was simply rebellious, specialized in treating hypotension, and wouldn't listen to a single word of advice.
Fortunately, although Chen Hanqing has a bad temper, he has a good reputation and will not go back on what he promised.
Lu Jing stopped talking nonsense and gave him a three-hundred-tael banknote, advance three days' salary in one go, and then pulled him to his medicine field.
Chen Hanqing was obviously stunned when he saw Lu Jing's ginseng field. After a moment, he asked innocently, "Where's the ginseng?"
"Here, right in front of you." Lu Jing pursed his lips in the direction of the medicine field.
"But isn't this a weed?"
“There is ginseng in the grass.”
"How much ginseng?"
"This... depends on how much you can dig out." Lu Jing patted Chen Hanqing on the shoulder, "Just try your best. You don't have to be too stressed."
It's rare that Chen Hanqing doesn't have to be strong this time, and he probably can't guarantee that he can dig out all the ginseng hidden under the weeds.
But Chen Hanqing didn't complain to Lu Jing. Even though his heart was already cold, he jumped into the medicinal field without saying a word and started pulling grass and looking for ginseng.
Lu Jing watched for a while and felt quite satisfied when he saw that Chen Hanqing was working very seriously, so he found an open space next to the medicine field and sat down.
He took out three packets of pills from his arms.
Don't get me wrong, the poison elixir refined by Lu Jingtuo Hanshanke has not been released yet. What he is holding now are the three poisons that Dongmen Weilan had previously refined for him, namely Mire, Ecstasy and Bone Corrosion.
Among them, the role of mire is to reduce the speed of internal force in the meridians. According to Dongmen Weilan, after being poisoned by mire, the internal energy in the body will not flow smoothly, and one's skill can only be used at 60 to 70%.
The functions of Ecstasy and Bone Corrosion are used to dissolve and dissolve internal forces, but the effect is far inferior to falling into the mortal world, especially for first-class masters, the effect is even smaller.
These three poisons were the substitutes for falling into the mortal world that Lu Jing could find from Dongmen Weilan. Dongmen Weilan made a hundred of each according to his request.
However, because he had been busy solving the trouble of the secret power before, he threw it under the bed to eat dust after getting it. It was only now that he got free to start experimenting.
Lu Jing sat cross-legged, swallowed a piece of ecstasy first into his mouth, and then swallowed it down his throat into his abdomen. After waiting for a long time, the Shenque area began to react.
Lu Jing could feel that the internal energy there was indeed decreasing, but the speed was not very fast. It was probably about the same as when he used all his strength to exert his martial arts. If anyone else was there, he would probably be very panicked.
Because this is equivalent to that as long as you are poisoned, the consumption will be doubled when you fight with others, or even if you don't fight, you will not be able to restore your internal power, but the internal power in your Dantian will become less and less.
But Lu Jing was not very satisfied with this consumption rate. His meridians had been transformed by rat tail soup and became extra tough and wide, which also made his recuperation rate astonishingly fast.
Therefore, although the internal energy in Lu Jing's Dantian was being dissolved by ecstasy, the Ren and Du meridians were spontaneously operating, and the steady stream of internal energy generated made up for this consumption. The final result was that after an hour, Lu Not even one tenth of the internal energy in Jing Dantian was lost.
This made Lu Jing quite disappointed. After examining his Dantian, he shook his head and turned his attention to another bag of bones.
Although the effect of bone erosion is similar to that of ecstasy, it lasts much longer than that of ecstasy. A full two hours have passed, and the internal energy in Lu Jing's body is still decreasing. However, in contrast, bone erosion consumes internal energy. The speed is slower, only one-half of ecstasy,
Such a small amount of internal energy consumption was obviously not enough to meet Lu Jing's needs. A week of practicing his Rendu and Du Second Meridians automatically filled up this gap.
