Monks who are talented in planting have become a must-grab resource for almost every herb garden. They are either promised huge profits or given a certain amount of power, in order to stabilize them and prevent them from having the opportunity to consider repeated changes. .
Chen Mo is unable to recruit the helpers around Deacon Yaoyuan, but he can recruit some disciples with training experience, which can also alleviate his current pressure to a certain extent.
The reason why tasks cannot be issued in the Task Hall is because Baicao Garden has just started, and the sect has nearly 20,000 monks with all kinds of qualities. If you find a large number of disciples who are disobedient and go around in daily life, wouldn't you be poaching yourself? Jump into a big hole?
Chen Mo now only recruits monks recommended by Tian Fang and the others. Although their cultivation levels are not high, they are better at obeying management, so no major mistakes have been made during this period of time.
Now that he had decided to poach, he had to exclude his own faction's medicine garden first. During the communication with Pavilion Master Zhang, Chen Mo sorted out a few places to go and called the six disciples who were busy in the medicine garden in front of him.
"Senior Brother Chen, what are your orders?"
The leader was a dark-skinned middle-aged man. The people behind him were all from the Wei Kingdom and had clean backgrounds.
The world of cultivation is not a place based on age. Whoever has higher cultivation and stronger power will get the respect they deserve. As an inner disciple, Chen Mo has a cultivation level of the twelfth level of Qi Refining. He is also a respected deacon of the Medicine Garden. Any given condition is enough to make several people surrender, let alone complete their work under his hands.
Chen Mo didn't waste any time and handed over the jade slips that he had prepared to a few people: "I just went to the mission hall and selected a few missions that are suitable for you. Junior brothers, take a look. If there are no problems, I will go there tomorrow. Just report in."
After listening to these six people, they immediately opened the jade slips in their hands and browsed through it with their spiritual consciousness. As he said, the task was not difficult. Chen Mo even marked several places on how to operate it. This was completely a free contribution. Good thing.
Everyone looked at each other with doubts on their faces, wondering what kind of medicine Chen Mo was selling in his gourd.
"The planting is fake, but the investigation news is true. While you are planting the spiritual plants, ask me who has been doing it for a long time in the medicinal garden and who is more knowledgeable about medicinal herbs. After sorting it out, come back and give it to me. It's that simple. ." Chen Mo slowly expressed his thoughts, clearly asking a few people to respond.
Now Chen Mo has jumped out of the stage of taking action personally. With his contribution, he can give orders and let others complete such small things, and he can take charge of the overall situation.
After that, he added: "Those who contribute double will be given to the Baicao Garden here."
"Senior brother, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone clapped their chests and agreed. Everyone was so excited that they repeatedly promised Chen Mo that he would be relieved and absolutely satisfied.
Chen Mo waved the people away, and then inspected the herb garden. Before he finished checking, Cheng An hurried over and said anxiously: "Boss, Senior Brother Lu is here! He is waiting for you outside the garden. Woolen cloth!"
Chen Mo frowned. He didn't know Senior Brother Lu. He walked towards the exit and asked, "What does he do?"
"Boss, are you kidding me? You're ranked seventh on the Qianxun List, and you don't know the Qi Refining Dzogchen monk?" Cheng An said in great surprise.
After hearing what he said, Chen Mo remembered Qianxun Peak. He had always said he wanted to see it, but he never got around to it. Now he only remembered Lan Ruoxian, who was ranked tenth, and didn't recognize anyone else. .
He immediately said to Cheng An: "Keep an eye on the medicine garden for me. Don't make any mistakes. If you don't hear from me for three days, inform the Zongmen Law Enforcement Hall about this immediately. Do you hear me?"
Cheng An quickly raised his hands and said: "Yes! But... boss, you'd better take this!"
Chen Mo took the jade plate and took a look. It contained the ranking of Qianxun Peak that he urgently needed, as well as some elite disciples of the sect, all marked with names and portraits.
"Brother Cheng is interested!" Chen Mo chuckled and said in the latter's anxious eyes: "Don't worry, in a few months' time, I can temporarily lend you a contribution to buy magic weapons and keep your inner peace. The identity of the disciple is not a problem!"
"Thank you very much, boss!"
"It doesn't matter..."
The two of them walked to the exit as they spoke. Chen Mo stepped out of the fog, and the next moment he saw a handsome young man who used a sword instead of a staff. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a slender figure. He was wearing a dark robe. He stood up neatly and looked very heroic. Show out.
The handsome monk also saw Chen Mo. There was a long scar between the bridge of his nose and his left cheek, which ruined the overall beauty. He was not handsome but also a bit ugly. If he had hidden his cultivation, it would be difficult to find him in the crowd.
Such a person could actually take over the identity of Yaoyuan Deacon? It really surprised him.
"I'm Lu Xiuyuan, please forgive me for visiting me rashly."
Putting away the fairy sword, the handsome young man cupped his fists. He opened his mouth and said to Chen Mo.
"I'm a guest from afar, how can Senior Brother Lu apologize?" Feeling the almost condensed aura on this person's body, Chen Mo said, "I wonder why Senior Brother Lu is here?"
"Haha, this matter is not urgent. Lu wants to ask junior brother first, do you know which faction Elder Fan, who is managing the medicine garden on his behalf, belongs to?"
Chen Mo pretended to be confused and said, "Oh? What does this mean? Please tell me, Senior Brother Lu."
Lu Xiuyuan said as if he understood clearly: "It's okay to tell you what I'm going to know sooner or later. Just listen."
"There are nine palm peaks in Fuyun Sect. The first six are Hidden Mist, Piao Miao, Ling Yu, Ju Ming, Xue Sha and Jiu You. The remaining two are Weapon Refining Domain and Miao Dan Peak. The last one is Zong Peak. The door’s law enforcement hall is located.”
"In addition, there are a series of special areas such as the Contribution Hall, the Mission Hall, the Gongfa Pavilion, the Lingcao Pavilion, and the Baicao Garden. In the place with the richest spiritual energy in the Xuanwu Mountains, it is the retreat of the Supreme Elder of the Fuyun Sect. Land, trespassers will be directly deprived of their cultivation and expelled from the sect."
"The mountain peaks for weapon refining and alchemy are under the personal jurisdiction of the Supreme Elder who forged the alchemy. The sect is only responsible for the extraction of spirit stones. As for other places, the Law Enforcement Hall is undoubtedly the most powerful and can thoroughly investigate any situation except the six palm peaks. area, including your herb garden.”
After a pause, Lu Xiuyuan said: "So, junior brother, don't make false accounts just to get a little contribution. Even if you are the disciple of the leader, you will have no mercy if you are discovered."
This was the first time Chen Mo had heard of these things. He put on an attitude of listening attentively and nodded. This made Lu Xiuyuan very satisfied, so he continued:
"The six palm peaks directly obey the orders of the master and secretly compete with the Law Enforcement Hall on the whole. But internally, the six masters are divided into two factions. After the master Ding steps down, the next master will be from the two factions. I was promoted one place in the middle, so junior brother understands the importance of standing in line!"
Chen Mo pretended to be nodding, but he was actually already thinking about the purpose of his visit. Was he just chatting with himself? He's not that boring, there must be some use for him.
"It turns out that junior brother and senior brother Lu are in the same faction. It's a real honor..." Chen Mo was ready to show off his tactics and flattered him without leaving any trace.
"Haha, junior brother, there is no need to flatter me. Master Zhan has so many powerful men, so what does Lu mean?"
Lu Xiuyuan was very happy with what he said, but he still needed to be modest. He continued: "Let's make a long story short. There will be a gathering of Qi Refining monks at Feiyang Inn tomorrow night. Lu will take the lead as the host. The main discussion is about the sect's little competition, I wonder if Junior Brother Chen is interested?"
Chen Mo chuckled and said: "As long as Senior Brother Lu doesn't dislike it, Junior Brother will definitely go!"
"That's good!" Lu Xiuyuan got the result he wanted and nodded with satisfaction. As quickly as he came, he left as quickly as he came. In a blink of an eye, he drove the flying talisman and disappeared into the sky.
...
The heavy rain came at a moment's notice, with lightning and thunder mixed with the whine of the wind, causing the big red lantern hanging in front of the inn door to fly left and right. The sky and the earth were connected, and the red light reflected some colors through the raindrops. Sprinkled on the path of the bluestone, it is strange and strange.
Feiyang Inn is located in the prosperous area of Nifang City where ordinary people of the sect live. It is also a place where high-level disciples of the Fuyun Sect often gather.
There are three, six or nine grades of people, and the wood is divided into rosewood and rosewood. This attic is no exception. It has three floors rising from the ground. The first floor is used to serve ordinary people, while the second and third floors are used to entertain the powerful and talented people of the sect.
Naturally, someone with Chen Mo's status cannot be on an equal footing with the core disciples of Qi Refining Dzogchen. Senior Brother Lu enthusiastically led him to the second floor, and then went upstairs to do his own business.
"I knew it would be like this..."
Chen Mo held on to the railing of the wooden staircase and sighed inwardly. It was said to be a small gathering, but in fact it was just using these inconspicuous minions as foils. The real masters were discussing important matters on the third floor.
Again, Chen Mo's level of fighting skills is considered top-notch among casual cultivators, but when he encounters anyone on the third level, he can't even hold on to a stick of incense without using black stones. He's going to lose his head and body.
Strength is the last word. At the moment, he doesn't want to offend the monk who has perfected Qi Refining, so he readily accepts Lu Xiuyuan's invitation.
Chen Mo looked around. Almost all the people on this floor were cultivators with similar cultivation levels to him. Ninety-nine percent of the registered disciples from the three peaks of Hidden Mist, Piaomiao, and Blood Fiend were about 40 people. The only one left It was him, the unsociable inner disciple.
In the past hundred years, although there were no clear rules, the monks who became the deacons of the Medicine Garden were at least above the fourteenth level of Qi Refining. Chen Mo was obviously not qualified, so it made no sense for Lu Xiuyuan not to bring him to the third level.
The time for half a stick of incense passed quickly. Chen Mo clearly noticed that several people were slowly approaching him, as if they wanted to talk. By coincidence, he was also planning to take out some more from a few people. Useful stuff comes.
Being bored, Chen Mo was looking downstairs. The steaming delicacies were brought over from downstairs by a waiter. There were twelve dishes placed at a table for four people. Some monks who knew each other sat down together and chatted. Those who knew each other came together. It happened that the people who had previously intended to talk were close to each other, so Chen Mo directly shared a table with them.
"It's you?"
Chen Mo had just sat down when he suddenly heard such an unreasonable female voice. He subconsciously thought it was coming from the three people sitting in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were all unfamiliar faces, and there was no possibility that they were familiar with each other.
And they looked at Chen Mo with confusion, who made this sound?
The tone was somewhat familiar. Chen Mo looked back. An evil young man with a gray left eyeball covered with red bloodshot eyes was looking at him curiously. Looking behind him, two beautiful female cultivators followed him. , one of them, Chen Mo, felt that it was Lan Ruoxian who he had met twice!
"Oh? Junior sister Ruoxian's friend?"
The young man with a strange left eye glanced at Chen Mo casually and asked indifferently.
"I've met Senior Brother Gu!"
None of the monks on the entire second floor dared to sit down without authorization. They all saluted in the direction of the stairs. Chen Mo naturally did the same. At the same time, his heart trembled. This person's name is Gu Yao, and he is ranked second on the Qianxun list. Second only to Ye Lantian, who has never seen the dragon before it is seen, his magic is extremely powerful, and he has a terrifying record of escaping from a fight with an early-stage foundation-building monk!
Lan Ruoxian's expression remained unchanged and she said calmly: "Not my friend. I just met him in Senior Brother Li's herb garden before. He was working at that time and taught me a few tricks. Unexpectedly, he became the deacon of the herb garden in the blink of an eye. I felt Just curious."
Gu Yao raised his eyebrows: "The Deacon of the Medicine Garden on the twelfth level of Qi Refining... That's interesting. Come on up!"
Chen Mo didn't want to get involved in the affairs of their core disciples, so he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Senior Brother Lu Xiuyuan told me not to walk around on the second floor, so I won't disturb you fellow seniors."
"It's okay, Gu will take care of him."
Gu Yao chuckled and waved his hand towards Chen Mo. Then the figure quickly went up to the third floor, followed closely by Lan Ruoxian and another female cultivator who could not be named.
Chen Mo gritted his teeth. It seemed that this so-called faction was not monolithic. Moving out Lu Xiuyuan would not work. Now he could only accept it in a lowly manner.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo looked back at the three people at the wine table who were dumbstruck, and followed their steps and walked up. The moment his footsteps landed, more than twenty spiritual pressures from the peak of Qi refining came straight towards Chen Mo!
Gu Yao in front waved his folding fan, and the spiritual consciousness that was about to hit Chen Mo in the next moment melted like the spring sun turning into snow. He said lightly: "This junior brother was brought here by Gu. No need. If something like this happens, anyone who has an opinion can express it directly."
Lu Xiuyuan's face immediately darkened: "Fellow Taoist Gu, I didn't invite you here, did you? Are you trying to ruin my face, Mr. Lu?"
Although Blood Fiend Peak and Hidden Mist Peak are in the same faction, the monks within them are not united. Lu Xiuyuan suffered a lot of injuries at the hands of Gu Yao a few years ago, so it is normal to be a little grudge and ignore him.
Gu Yaoyun said calmly: "Junior brother Lu, what you said is wrong. It's all for the sake of the sect's competition. Don't you want to go further? Gu still has some treasures in his hand. We can exchange them later."
