Chapter 22: Taking Care of the Medicine Garden
After returning to the Medicine Valley Sect, everyone had palpitations, and Ye Ling advised: "Today's matter, don't mention it to anyone! Otherwise, once the Southern Holy Sect hears the news and sends someone to come to the door, we will inevitably be implicated and our lives will be lost." ”
Meng Chang nodded again and again: "Brother Ye said yes! Hehe, if someone asks, let's say that we have never been to Changxi, let alone know what the Demon Crocodile Cave is!
He Jingsheng was timid and cowardly by nature, and when he heard the news that the young master of the Southern Saint Sect had fallen in the Demon Crocodile Cave, his face was already pale with fright, and he replied in a loud voice: "Yes, yes! These days, the big guys have been closed and avoided the limelight." ”
Su Qin and Zi Shan also know very well what is involved, the strength of the Southern Saint Sect is strong, above the other sects around Fengqiao Town, such a major event as the fall of the young sect master will definitely set off a stormy storm, and the second daughter has also made up her mind, she must not be affected inside, everything must be kept tight.
The five of them said goodbye, Ye Ling went to the main hall of the Medicine Valley Sect, handed over the master's order, and simply told the master Zhao Sect Master about the experience and harvest of going out, and concealed all the key places. Especially the fall of the young sect master of the Southern Saint Sect, Ye Ling completely concealed it, and would never mention half a word to the master.
Zhao Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Medicine Valley Sect, was still very cold towards Ye Ling, seeing that the evil aura on his body was compelling, it was obvious that he had killed a lot of demon beasts, and it could be seen that he had really worked hard to go out and practice these days.
Sect Master Zhao nodded with satisfaction, didn't ask more, and was even more lazy to look at his harvest of hunting demon beasts, but just urged: "After you go out to collect herbs and practice, you must continue to study the higher-level medicinal herb illustrated book and learn to identify and plant spirit grass." In this way, I will assign you a new task to take care of the teacher's medicine garden for a month. ”
Ye Ling's mind moved, taking care of the medicine garden was a relatively idle sect task, and Ye Ling could completely take care of the sect master's medicine garden at the same time, and cut some rare spirit grasses along the river and plant them into the Immortal Mansion Spirit Field!
So Ye Ling agreed very happily, but his face did not show the slightest joy, his expression was as usual, he still looked lukewarm, received the sect master's token, and respectfully retreated.
Out of the main hall of the Medicine Valley Sect, Ye Ling returned to the cave mansion and hurriedly packed up the things for daily use, and visited his senior brother Zhuang Liangshou to explain the new task assigned by the master, and then moved into the sect master's medicine garden located in the south valley of the Medicine Valley Sect.
On weekdays, the sect master's Nangu Medicine Garden is taken care of by the miscellaneous disciples of the outer sect in shifts. Now that Ye Ling came, he took the sect master token and entered the Nangu Medicine Garden, and became the top boss of these miscellaneous disciples of the outer sect.
These outer disciples have seen Senior Brother Ye show his might and defeat the descendants of the Immortal Cultivation Family in a row at the big competition, and they are all sincerely admired!
Now that they heard that Senior Brother Ye was in charge of the Nangu Medicine Garden, they had to inspect it first, and they were all hugging each other, fanning Ye Ling and moving chairs. Wherever Ye Ling goes, the outer disciples who move chairs will move there!
Ye Ling couldn't help but secretly sigh: The Immortal Cultivation Realm is indeed respected by the strong, and his identity and status have changed dramatically with the rise of his strength.
But Ye Ling was tired of them hugging and patting their sycophants, and only cared about the various spiritual grasses growing in the Nangu Medicine Garden. Ye Ling checked the illustrated book of medicinal herbs, identified them one by one, and occasionally couldn't think of them, so he asked the follower beside him.
After turning around, Ye Ling suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, the number of types of spirit grass in the Nangu Medicine Garden was far beyond his imagination!
There is no doubt that the sect master's medicine garden spirit field is the best in the entire medicine valley, and the spirit grass cultivated is not only varied, but also has a good vintage. The only thing that Ye Ling was dissatisfied with was that most of the fourth- to sixth-order spiritual grasses were planted among them, and there were very few first- to third-order spiritual grasses, like the very common honeysuckle, which was not planted at all in the sect master's medicine garden.
Ye Ling glanced at the dozen or so outer disciples standing beside him, frowned slightly, and said secretly: "They are really too much of a problem, I have to send them back before I can act!"
So Ye Ling lazily half lay on the rattan chair and asked, "What is the division of labor among the few of you, who is responsible for taking care of the garden, and who is responsible for watering and hoeing the grass?"
Everyone hurriedly gathered around, a second-layer guy who practiced qi was very attentive, and there was a birthmark the size of a copper coin on his right face, which was very conspicuous, and he said respectfully in front of Ye Ling: "Back to Senior Brother Ye! Before Senior Brother came, everything in the Nangu Medicine Garden was assigned by his subordinates. Hehe, now that Senior Brother Ye is in charge of Nangu Garden, his subordinates are willing to be Senior Brother's deputies, ensuring that this place is managed well, so that Senior Brother Ye can sit back and relax!"
Ye Ling was unmoved, and said lightly, "What's your name?"
"Sun Erhu! Hehe, Elder Sun is his distant cousin. ”
Ye Ling nodded, he had been in the Qingzhu Courtyard at the outer gate of the Medicine Valley for a long time, and he knew some of the sophistication of the outer gate, and he secretly scolded in his heart, only someone like Sun Erhu who was related to the elders of the sect could get mixed up with such an idle beauty.
However, Ye Ling saw him standing with his hands down, looking respectful, not as knowledgeable as him, and still asked coldly: "Oh, in this way, you are also from the Sun family's immortal cultivation family?"
Sun Erhu accompanied the smiling face and said bitterly: "Where is it, the subordinate family is only a distant branch of the Sun family, and it is not a child of the Xiuxian family." Hey, the real descendants of the Sun family, who eat fragrant and drink spicy food, are not as poor as their subordinates. This is still stained with Elder Sun's light, allowing his subordinates to gain a foothold in the Medicine Valley, otherwise they would have been assigned to the mining site outside the valley to dig spirit mines. ”
Ye Ling's face softened slightly, seeing that he could speak well, left and right, and grovelling, he said very miserably: as if he was afraid that something would happen to the son of heaven and a courtier, and he was afraid that Ye Ling would no longer use him and lose such a good errand.
Ye Ling pondered for a moment, and secretly said that no matter what this person's character is, just looking at this mouth of asking questions and answering ten, and the clever appearance of the left and right, can be used by me, and it is suitable for running errands for myself and inquiring about news.
And the rest of these guys must be watering and weeding every day, and they are very familiar with every grass and tree in the Nangu Medicine Garden. If Ye Ling quietly prunes and prunes the leaves, it will inevitably leave traces and be surprised by these guys. And it's different with novices, and they can't detect the difference in the spirit grass after cutting branches and leaves, so these people must change!
Thinking of this, Ye Ling nodded and said, "Sun Erhu, you stay, tomorrow you go to the outer deacon's hall to find Li Bao, and change seven or eight new people." The rest of the people are dismissed, so let's go!"
Everyone was stunned, and immediately showed disappointment and left.
Only Sun Erhu smiled happily and said with a smile: "Yes! The subordinates will obey Senior Brother Ye's orders! Today is not early, early tomorrow morning, the subordinates will go to the outer deacon's hall, and be sure to change a few hard-working junior brothers! Hehe, I don't know if Senior Brother Ye wants the female disciples of the outer gate to serve? ”
Ye Ling groaned slightly, most of the girls' families were careful, which was not conducive to their own plan of pruning and pruning leaves, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't bother! ”
Sun Erhu touched a soft nail, and in order to please Ye Ling, he said curtly: "Senior Brother Ye dismissed them, and there was no one on duty tonight, and his subordinates stayed behind to guard the medicine garden." ”
Ye Ling secretly scolded in his heart: This guy who doesn't open his eyes! But his face didn't show it, he just said coldly: "Are you a dead person when you think this senior brother!" The sect master ordered me to take charge of the Nangu Medicine Garden, of course I want to live here for a month, and with me at night, who dares to break in!"
"Yes, yes! Damn it. Senior Brother Ye fulfilled his duties and responsibilities for the tasks assigned by the sect master, which made his subordinates admire!"
Sun Erhu was honestly frightened, and the horse's fart slapped on the horse's feet, which made him really depressed.
Ye Ling glanced at him, his tone softened, and he pretended to sigh: "That's it, this is also something that can't be helped." Recently, I have been busy in this Nangu Medicine Garden, and according to what the Sect Master said, let me identify the spirit grass and familiarize myself with the growth conditions and growth environment of the spirit grass. I need to finish this task as soon as possible, and I don't have time to wander around. So in your spare time, go to Maple Bridge and ask about some interesting things, and come back to me. ”
Sun Erhu slapped his thigh, jumping straight with joy, daring to love Senior Brother Ye likes this mouthful!
As soon as Sun Erhu thought of having the opportunity to go to Fengqiao Town for a walk, it was like a fake, not to mention how beautiful it was, and he nodded again and again: "No problem! My subordinates like to inquire about some gossip the most, and I will not let Senior Brother Ye down! Hehe, Senior Brother Ye is still wise, treat his subordinates kindly, and his subordinates have infinite admiration! If the elders and elite disciples of the entire Medicine Valley are as enlightened as Senior Brother Ye, why worry that my Medicine Valley will not prosper!"
Ye Ling was impatient to listen to his big sycophants, and said lightly: "You can go back too, tomorrow morning, bring someone to me to order something." ”
Sun Erhu clasped his fists and saluted, and left happily.
After he left, Ye Ling looked around at no one, took a medicine hoe, walked around the Nangu medicine garden, pretended to hoe the grass, quietly cut the branches and leaves of the spirit grass, and quietly moved into the jade pendant of the Immortal Mansion!
In this way, even if there was an elder in the sect who passed by with a sword light, Ye Ling would be able to answer correctly, just say that he would cut dead branches and give the medicine garden to the spiritual field to hoe grass, and no one would be suspicious.
What's more, Ye Ling only cut one plant in each kind of spirit grass garden, as long as a small leaf petal or a small section of rhizome, with the powerful spiritual power of the Immortal Mansion Spirit Field, it is not difficult to grow the best of this kind of spirit grass! And it can be planted infinitely.
In this way, Ye Ling cut the branches and pruned the leaves, and at the same time divided his mind, immersed himself in the Immortal Mansion Jade Pendant, planted these branches and leaves in the spiritual field of the Immortal Mansion Star Picking Cliff, and waited for them to grow into the best products at a speed visible to the naked eye before harvesting.
In this way, after a night's work, Ye Ling had grown a total of seventy or eighty kinds of first- to sixth-order top-grade spirit grasses, all of which were stored in the small cabin of the Star Picking Cliff in case he needed it in the future.
