Tianyun Sect
With the elixir recipe in his mind, Qiye exited the alchemy room with satisfaction and went to the Outer Gate Assistant Pavilion to collect the monthly tribute from the previous month.
The so-called monthly tribute: it is the labor contribution that the sect pays to the outer disciples every month. Because the contribution value of each type of handyman is different, the number of spiritual stones received is also different.
For example: for ordinary cleaning chores, you can generally only receive 5 to 6 spirit stones, while for physical chores, you can receive 7 to 8 spirit stones.
As for the chores of medicine keeper that Qiye was engaged in, because no one had ever been competent before, the monthly tribute for this position was increased to 18 spiritual stones per month.
Although the benefits of this position make countless outer disciples jealous, if you don't have a diamond, don't stop the porcelain job. Most of the outer disciples knew they were incompetent and could only watch helplessly. It was not that there were no challengers, but they were all defeated by Elder Ge at the first level...
You know, even ordinary inner disciples can only receive a fixed 20 spiritual stones to assist their cultivation if they don't do any chores every month.
Like Qiye, he was the only one in the entire outer sect who could receive a number of spiritual stones close to those of the inner sect disciples.
"Elder Ge, disciples come to receive last month's monthly tribute."
Qiye came to the counter of the Miscellaneous Pavilion, handed over his medicine keeper badge, and said respectfully.
"Well, you're here...how are you doing?"
Elder Ge raised his head and glanced at Qiye, and said tepidly.
He was deeply impressed by the young man in front of him who was only eight years old and was familiar with the pharmacology of many medicinal materials.
And judging from the feedback from the elders of Dantang, Qiye did a very good job. Not only did he never misidentify the medicinal materials, but the fresh medicinal materials collected were also not damaged.
This makes Elder Ge quite proud, after all, he is the one he recommended.
"Fortunately, I didn't embarrass your old man..."
Qiye smiled modestly
After Elder Ge carefully looked at Qiye for a few times, he silently took the badge and registered it in the book:
Medicine Keeper, Ah Qi, Spirit Stone 18...
After writing, he put away his pen, then took out 18 low-grade spiritual stones from the talisman bag and handed them over.
"Thank you."
Qiye took the spirit stone with both hands and thanked
I spent a total of nearly 60,000 spirit stones on this outing, plus the 5,000 spirit stones I spent on opening up the secret realm before. I am afraid that I only have about 900,000 spirit stones left out of the millions of spirit stones I inherited before.
These 18 spiritual stones are really nothing to him, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.
Besides, if I keep 18 spirit stones for nothing, others will become suspicious. No outer disciple can resist the temptation of spirit stones.
After all, cultivation relies on the accumulation of resources. The more resources, the faster the cultivation speed, and the better one can stand out in a short period of time. The more people there are, the less resources will be allocated.
Therefore, 18 spiritual stones per month are just a piece of fragrant fat in the eyes of others. Who would leave it alone?
"If the elder has no other instructions, then Ah Qi will leave..."
After getting the spirit stone, Qiye asked and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute..."
Elder Ge raised his hand slightly to stop.
"Ah Qi, you are the medicine keeper recommended by me. I trust your ability very much, and the elder of the Alchemy Hall also praises you. However, the position of medicine keeper is full of mundane matters, and I would like to send more people to help you. The assistance allows you to have more energy to focus on alchemy practice, and the monthly tribute will not be reduced for you, what do you think?"
Elder Ge said slowly, as if seeking Qiye's opinion.
"Elder Youlao, thank you for your hard work. Although the back yam garden is relatively large, it does not take too much time to take care of. Besides, increasing the number of manpower will also increase the cost of this job, right? Since Ah Qi can do it all by himself Things, wouldn’t it be too wasteful to add a few more people?”
Qiye said tactfully, in fact, when he heard that Elder Ge wanted to send more manpower for him, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
When I first chose this position, I was interested in the working environment of a medicine keeper: living alone!
If there are too many people, your secrets may be exposed.
And judging from Elder Ge's tone, it was not mandatory to send additional manpower.
This should be Elder Ge's good intention to take care of him. It would not be appropriate for him to refuse directly.
After having some room for maneuver, he declined politely on the grounds that it was saving money for the sect.
"Oh, well, in that case, I won't force you to go down..."
Elder Ge sighed slightly and stopped there. Although I don't quite understand why I would refuse such a good offer, I am not interested in knowing the little thoughts of an eight-year-old child.
"This kid is really stubborn..."
After walking out of the Miscellaneous Service Pavilion, Qiye saw five outer disciples walking towards him. After seeing one of them clearly, he couldn't help but frown coldly.
It turned out that the man was Kuo Shaoxiang Lifu who attacked him at night with others when he first joined the sect.
Guessing in his mind: "Are you here to cause trouble? I hope not..."
At this time, Xianglifu was following behind a young man who looked like the leader. He was looking at Qiye with a playful look on his face, showing a playful smile, as if he was looking forward to a good show.
Qiye didn't want to cause trouble, but seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he had no choice but to go forward without showing any weakness...
"Stop!...Are you Ah Qi?"
The boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old walking at the front shouted arrogantly to the oncoming Qiye.
"busy?"
Qiye stopped and said lightly, neither warm nor angry, neither happy nor angry.
"Bold! Do you know who you are talking to? This is the third young master of the Beifang family in Baiyan City - Beifang Ke, why don't you kneel down!"
Seeing the conflict between the two, Xiang Lifu quickly stood up and criticized.
Seeing Xian Lifu's appearance as a clown, Qiye felt even more disgusted with him.
His spiritual consciousness scanned the Northern Ke in front of him, who was only at the "elementary fourth level". This kind of talent was considered pretty good in the eyes of ordinary people.
But he was not afraid, even though he appeared to be a 'junior'. The hidden strength is the 'First Level of Battle Level', but the actual combat power is equivalent to the 'First Level of Battle Ax Level'.
"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Qiye didn't pay attention to this group of people. He just said a word and passed by.
"You brat, I want you to stop!"
Seeing that the boy in front of him was completely ignoring him, Beifang Ke shouted angrily.
When he turned around and was about to take the shot, the opponent's body slipped forward strangely, causing him to stumble and fall into the air.
"asshole!"
Unexpectedly, he was frustrated again, Beiqi said angrily with an uncontrollable expression. At the same time, he mobilized his spiritual power to shoot forward, trying to capture Qiye to the ground in one fell swoop.
According to his expectations, only the "junior 1st dan" was unable to fight back against the strength of his "junior 4th dan". If he were patted tightly at this moment, his shoulder would be broken.
After Qiye noticed that Beifang Ke was relentlessly rushing towards him behind him, his body leaned slightly sideways and his right foot was extended.
He tripped Beifuke, who was rushing towards him from behind. In addition, his own momentum was too strong, and his body lost its center of gravity and turned forward.
Then when he sees the opportunity, he reaches out and grabs the opponent's arm, throws him forward with more force, and throws the person forward seven or eight meters, 'Bang! 'With a sound, it hit a tree trunk.
Poor Bei Ke, before he could recover and figure out what happened, he felt his eyes blurred, his back hurt, and he passed out completely.
"You're so bold, you're looking for death!"
Xiang Lifu was so frightened that he threatened Qiye when he saw that Qiye had dealt with Bei Kehou so neatly. That was an arrogant and domineering master. I didn't expect him to be knocked down so suddenly.
Several people who were traveling with him saw the young master hit the tree trunk and fell unconscious, and were about to rush to seek revenge on Qiye.
"I advise you to send him to the hospital first. If something happens to you, I think you will all be involved..."
Qiye reminded with a smile.
"Yes, yes...send the young master to the hospital quickly. This kid will come back to settle the score with him! Brat, you are in trouble! If the young master makes a mistake, the Beifang family will never let you go!"
After Xiang Lifu said a harsh word, he hurriedly led people to carry the unconscious Beifang Ke away. He was the one who brought the young master here. If there was any accident, he would not be able to escape the blame.
"The Beifang family... it's really a bit troublesome to come out."
Qiye looked at the backs of several people hurried away and murmured.
In fact, when Beike attacked from behind just now, he just used his strength and only used his "junior level" strength.
I just didn't expect that this Northern Ke, who was pampered, had thin skin and tender flesh, and whose body bones were not very strong, would be knocked unconscious by this little impact. I was really ashamed of his "junior fourth-level" strength.
"Oh, it seems that we should come out less often in the future..."
Qiye shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Although he didn't care about Xiang Lifu's harsh words, it would be really troublesome to think about being pestered by someone once he came out in the future.
Moreover, since he is currently in Tianyun Sect, he is naturally not afraid of those family forces coming to cause trouble, but if he goes out in the future, he still has to be careful. In this case, it is better to do less than to do more. After all, my strength is not yet at the level of domination.
No longer wandering around, he headed directly towards the inner door. Just as he reached the inner gate of the mountain, he suddenly stopped.
"Come out, you have been following me for so long..."
Qiye turned around and looked at a small forest behind him.
"Haha... I didn't expect that Brother Qi is not only agile, but also has such sensitive senses."
Behind the big tree, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy dressed in white walked out slowly.
The young man has a tall body, a handsome face, flowing hair and clear eyes. The hand caressing the paper fan and the graceful gait give people an infectious charm of calmness and confidence.
"Who are you?"
Qiye looked at this person. He was also a "junior fourth-level" person, but compared to Beike's very frivolous spiritual power just now, this person's spiritual power was very stable.
Moreover, when he came out just now, he looked casual but motionless, which shows that his footwork is also very exquisite.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself, this is: Wang Chi Yuliang..."
The boy in white slightly cupped his hands. His posture is elegant and his etiquette is solemn.
"You're looking for me, what's wrong?"
Seeing that this person was polite and courteous, Qiye couldn't help but ignore him and leave without saying a word, but he didn't want to beat around the bush either, so he asked directly.
"It's nothing. I just want to make friends with little brother Ah Qi. I wonder if he is willing?"
Wang Chiyuliang made his intentions clear and his feelings were so real that it was hard to refuse.
