According to the secular world, men and women working together are not tired. With the help of Chen Mo, a low-level alchemist, the speed of the two men's elixirs is increasing day by day, and Elder Shen's habit of procrastinating has been slightly improved.
More than half a month passed like this. Chen Mo stayed at Miaodan Peak and worked with Elder Shen to clear nearly 80% of the alchemy tasks. Excluding the 1,000 points of contribution owed, Chen Mo gained nearly 100 points. So many points.
Elder Li, who had previously provided Shen Mingyue with low-quality spiritual materials, came to the alchemy pavilion again during this period. He repeated his old trick and mixed in a few mixed spiritual herbs. In order not to scare the snake, Chen Mo also deliberately asked Elder Shen to refine it. A batch of expensive elixir was wasted.
"boom!"
Following a shocking loud noise, an irritating burnt smell immediately came from the alchemy furnace. Chen Mo had expected it and opened the doors and windows for ventilation in advance. The smoke slowly dissipated. He squatted on the stone steps in front of the pavilion, silently He silently held his chin with his fist, thoughtfully.
"You bastard, do you still have the intention to stay here?!" Shen Mingyue shouted angrily in the room: "Hurry up and help me clean the alchemy furnace!"
Chen Mo turned his head and said calmly: "The current temperature of the alchemy furnace cannot be tolerated during the Qi refining period. I will definitely be burned in the past, so I'd better cool down for a while!"
He was answered by Elder Shen's call to the wind. Chen Mo quickly jumped into the yard. Almost at the same moment, three shallow marks were carved on the stone steps elsewhere.
Although this move won't hurt him, it will definitely stagger him.
Chen Mo stood in the courtyard and said calmly: "I know, elder, that you are in a bad mood, so there is no need to take it out on the disciple. Just now, the disciple has calculated that some of the high-quality spiritual herbs have been retained, and those buried with them are inferior ones. In this way If so, we will only lose about three thousand spiritual stones, which is within the acceptable range for us."
Shen Mingyue was still wearing the lavender dress, and walked out with a cold expression, snorting: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk, and it's not your spirit stone, so of course you think it doesn't matter!"
Because he had been here for a long time, it was as if Chen Mo had become the master of this place. Shen Mingyue sat with him on the stone bench in the courtyard pavilion and continued:
"Elder Shen's words are wrong. It is necessary to exchange three thousand spirit stones for Li to relax his vigilance. We do not have our own news channels now, and the sect's power is almost non-existent. How can we go against an old man like him?" Chances of winning, I believe Elder Shen doesn’t want to commit to such a person, right?”
Shen Mingyue was dissatisfied, but what Chen Mo said was justified, so she could only threaten him verbally: "Humph! If you didn't have some real skills and a bright mind, with your current tone, this elder would have been cruel to you." I’ll teach you a lesson!”
The crisis on her side couldn't break out yet, so Chen Mo didn't take it seriously and laughed a few times before getting over it. However, he suddenly remembered a detail when Shen Mingyue was refining alchemy, so he asked: "By the way, Elder Shen, this disciple has something unclear, please ask the elder to clarify his doubts."
"Speak quickly!" Shen Mingyue said impatiently.
"Disciple has been observing you for a long time. Why does the elder always feel a hazy feeling outside his body every time he makes elixirs? Is it because the disciple is dazzled?"
This situation not only happened to Elder Shen, but his missing master Sun Xing also often appeared. Before, he might not be qualified to ask, but now he is tied to the same rope with interests, and he can talk A little more casual.
After listening to Chen Mo's narration, Shen Mingyue's eyes became strange, her mind moved slightly, and a light white aura lingered around Shen Mingyue for an instant. She said doubtfully: "Is this it?"
Chen Mo's eyes froze: "Yes, that's it. What is it?"
"Come on, use the spells you learned to attack me!" Elder Shen stood up, stood in the courtyard, and raised his green fingers towards Chen Mo.
Chen Mo nodded, shouted in offense, and instantly gathered three fist-sized fireballs in his right hand and swung them towards Shen Mingyue!
Shen Mingyue was seen not moving at all, not even intending to defend herself. When the fireball reached three feet in front of her, it automatically turned into sparks and quickly dissipated.
"Thirteenth level of Qi refining?"
Elder Shen briefly sensed the power inside the fireball and was slightly surprised. Chen Mo's realm obviously did not match his spell-casting power. It seemed that the spiritual energy in Chen Mo's body was purer. No wonder the furnace fire he supplied when making alchemy did not fluctuate much. So that's it.
Chen Mo had already guessed this result, and didn't look too surprised. He returned to the stone bench and waited quietly for Elder Shen's explanation.
Shen Mingyue said helplessly: "It seems that you really lack basic cultivation knowledge. The hazy aura you mentioned is actually the unique symbol of the foundation-building monks, which is called Ningguang Liancai. With it, even in the face of hundreds of The Qi Refining monk’s attack was still unscathed.”
"Don't talk about the intensity of your attack just now. Even if you attack 500 times at the same time, you still can't break the condensed light and color of this elder. Do you understand this?"
Chen Mo exclaimed: "So, if a foundation-building monk wants to kill a monk in the Qi refining stage, it will be as easy as picking something out of a bag?"
"That's about it..." Elder Shen thought for a while, and then added: "I don't like fighting, and I don't know much about this aspect. But what I can tell you is that the Condensing Light Refining Color in the early stage of foundation building is still It’s not too strong, but if a monk in the Qi Refining Stage has a high-grade consumption magic weapon in his hand, if used properly, it can pose a certain threat to the monks in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.”
"In the foundation building period, condensing light and refining colors..."
Chen Mo kept this important information firmly in mind. He was not a genius in cultivation that was rare in a hundred years, nor was he a madman who wanted to challenge the foundation building stage in the Qi refining stage. In his cultivation career, he had never competed with the building stage. The monks in the foundation period had fought, and today's conversation with Elder Shen made Chen Mo more determined to practice escape.
What if one day you really have the misfortune to encounter a Demonic Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and you try your best, but you can't even break through the opponent's Condensing Light Refining Color, and you lose the chance to escape, that would be too sad.
"The foundation building period...cultivation is the most important thing!"
Chen Mo took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said with cupped hands: "Thank you, elder, for clearing up the confusion. I will leave first and come back later to help Elder Shen solve his problems!"
Elder Shen had no more tasks here, so he waved his hand and said: "Get out of here! Don't forget your promise, hurry up and do it!"
...
Chen Mo sat on the stone bench in the cave and hesitated. There are a lot of jade slips placed on the table in front of him. They are all the information about the sect elders that he has collected through Chen Feng, Cheng An and other disciples in the Herb Garden in the past few hours. Among them are the information about the elders of their Herb Garden. scale.
Managing the medicine field is a good job. Chen Mo didn't need to think about it to know that there were too many twists and turns. It was impossible for an elder without background and power to take the position of manager, so no matter which end he chose, Consider taking sides.
Since he wanted to stand, he had to be on the same team as Zhang Siyuan. If he stood on the opposite side of him, he would not even have the chance to cooperate. Chen Mo had already considered this when he sent the jade slips to Cheng An and others. Likewise, A letter was passed and handed over to Pavilion Master Zhang of Hidden Mist Peak.
The blue light from the outside world disappeared in a flash, and Chen Mo looked happy. He stretched out his hand to unfold the letter sent back from Hidden Mist Peak. There was indeed a long list of names on it, corresponding to the several jade slips in front of Chen Mo.
After some deliberation and selection, Chen Mo was left with two jade slips. One was the Baicao Garden that had been in normal operation for several years. It was outsourced as a whole and connected to Elder Fang of the sect.
This person is an old woman with advanced cultivation. According to Zhang Siyuan's letter, she has a very kind temperament. She will not suffer any loss from managing the medicine garden under her, and on the contrary, she will get a lot of benefits.
The other is an empty medicine garden. Since it has just been cultivated, everything is not on the right track yet, and it still needs powerful disciples to connect with it.
This elder was a very picky and strange old man. Zhang Siyuan did not write it down in the letter, so Chen Mo had no idea what the blame was.
"Which medicine garden should I go to?" Chen Mo once again fell into a careful comparison.
.......
Xuanwu Mountains, the peak of the extreme north.
It is said that the medicine garden newly cultivated by the Fuyun Sect is actually almost entering the endless mountains and seas. The further north you go, the fewer the disciples of the sect become, and even the vegetation becomes sparse, with individual shapes growing. .
At the foot of the mountain near the extreme north peak, there was this deserted herb garden. Chen Mo fell down from the flying talisman, silently looked at this extremely vast medicinal garden, and walked quickly over.
Although there is no one in the thatched house, the outside is neatly tidied, giving people a refreshing feeling. The signboard of Baicao Garden is also standing directly above, and there is all the fog that can hide people's eyes, except for the walnuts that break the fog.
"How come no one cares?"
Chen Mo scratched his head curiously and walked around on the Far North Peak. Before he could find the elder, he landed back in front of the Herb Garden. Just when he was about to wait for another half hour and leave, a white light suddenly rushed past in the distance and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Chen Mo quickly bowed: "Disciple Chen Mo, I have met Elder Fan!"
"No gift!"
When he got closer, Chen Mo could clearly see the appearance of this elder. He was two feet shorter than him and a little bloated, but he looked like a child in the secular world, with black hair and a childish face, and big bright eyes. He looked at him suspiciously, which was quite strange.
"Are you the deacon of the medicine garden? Take out the identity token and let me identify it!"
Elder Fan was not stupid. No monk would wait eagerly for him here, so he asked Chen Mo for the token.
Chen Mo smiled slightly and said: "Elder Fan, please forgive me for being unreasonable. I dare to ask you a question first. I wonder if the elder is willing to answer?"
Chen Mo's unruly behavior was actually testing Elder Fan's temper. If the other party got angry and questioned him about his lack of etiquette, he would obediently take out his token and follow the other person's words.
If he could just hold back his temper and let Chen Mo take the initiative in the conversation, there would be a 80% chance that this would happen.
"Oh? Come and listen." Elder Fan became interested.
Chen Mo cupped his hands again and said, "I would like to ask Elder Fan, if the person standing here right now is Senior Brother Ye Lan Tianye of the sect, would you also check his identity token?"
Elder Fan narrowed his eyes, thought for a few moments and then said calmly: "If it were him, of course not. Does it matter?"
Chen Mo continued: "In Elder Fan's understanding, Senior Brother Ye is the top one in the deacon assessment. He must have good guidance and experience in managing the medicine garden, and can create a lot of benefits for Elder Fan, so there is no need to check, disciple. Is that correct?"
"Boy, you don't understand the rules..."
Elder Fan's tone became unkind. As a foundation-building elder, he had no time to chat with an inner disciple in the Qi refining stage. If the other party didn't get to the point within three sentences, he would definitely give the person in front of him a A painful lesson.
As everyone knows, Chen Mo doesn't want to be like this, but since he is the key figure connecting the three parties, even if he only has the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage, he cannot be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. Otherwise, when the time comes to divide the interests, what will happen to him if the three foundation-building monks sum it up together?
Chen Mo also noticed this, so he only said one sentence: "After the matter is completed, at least 10,000 spirit stones will be given every month. What about Elder Fan, are you interested in continuing to listen?"
"Ten thousand spiritual stones?" Elder Fan suddenly snorted coldly: "Boy, don't talk nonsense here. How is your medicine garden assessment score? But if you are in the top ten, don't waste time with me here."
"Also, don't think that I don't know what you think. The contribution points of the new medicine garden are indeed very high, but this is based on your normal operation. This is a medicine field that has not yet been planted, and there are hundreds of wastes. Juxing, it’s different from what you imagined.”
"The most important thing is that I have never seen you among the deacons of the sect's medicine garden before. You have no experience, you talk arrogantly, and you want to satisfy my hunger by painting cakes. You have found the wrong person, so I won't give it to you!"
Chen Mo looked at the other party's expression. He was sure that Elder Fan regarded him as an ingenious liar. This was not going to work. He felt a sudden change in his heart and showed regret on his face: "Okay, that disciple will resign first. It's just a matter of time." One day, Elder Fan just don’t regret today’s actions. By then, even if Elder Fan moves the leader to take action, the disciple will not choose to cooperate with you."
After saying that, Chen Mo was about to take out the flying talisman and activate it. "Slow down!" Elder Fan suddenly turned around and stopped Chen Mo: "Are you threatening me?"
"The elder's words are serious, the disciple is just stating the facts!" Chen Mo bowed again.
"If I give you three words, you can make me fall in love, and this herb garden will be yours to take care of. On the contrary, if you give me a slap in the face, as the price for your repeated offences, how do you, a junior, feel about it?"
Elder Fan has already thought about it. No matter what Chen Mo says later, he will not be tempted. He will immediately give him a perfect palm for Qi training and let him go back to rest for ten days and a half. I believe this will make him happy. He was honest for a while.
