Chapter 468: Medicine Garden Spiritual Plant (please vote for the big chapter)
Qingyuan Sect, Fang City at the foot of the mountain, in a large garden with four entrances, located in the alchemy room on the left side, Huang Jing is checking the elixirs of all levels purchased from the counter in front today.

The current residence was the property of the Qingyuan Sect, and he was placed here as a steward of the processing, grinding, and synthesis of elixirs. He and Ge Xuan of the Qingyuan Sect jointly managed this business.

Ge Xuan is a disciple of the Qingyuan Sect. As the big shopkeeper of the industry here, he is responsible for daily operations, allocating tasks assigned by the sect, and selling and purchasing various spiritual herbs and plants to regulate the supply and demand of various medicinal materials.

And he, Huang Jing, as a second-level mid-level spiritual planter, is not currently serving the medicinal herb spiritual planters, but has been transferred to deal with the identification of various medicinal materials. It is indeed that he is overqualified and underused.

But Huang Jing has no complaints. The Qingyuan Sect’s spiritual land is scarce and there are not many spiritual plants to plant. Moreover, how can an outsider compare to the disciples of the sect who have roots in Miaohong? Now he is put in charge of such a large sect. Being in charge of property can be regarded as an affirmation of his talents.

After decades of taking root here and winning the trust of the Qingyuan Sect, life will be easier in the future. Huang Jing has not forgotten the circumstances under which he was sent to the Qingyuan Sect. Compared with himself, many of his former comrades who were Ling Zhifu were lost in this war. In comparison, he was still dissatisfied.

In the pharmacy, in addition to Huang Jing, there are three qi-training monks. They look young, only seventeen or eighteen years old. These are disciples of the Qingyuan Sect who have completed basic studies from the sect. He was assigned to Huang Jing as an apprentice.

The Qingyuan Sect's disciple training is divided into three stages. The first is the Enlightenment School, which is held every three years. Here, monks who have just been detected to have spiritual roots will be ranked in the first class regardless of their qualifications.

According to the rules for detecting spiritual roots, only children who reach the age of three will be tested for their souls. Therefore, the age of the children in the initial enlightenment school was basically four to six years old.

After six years of attending the enlightenment school and completing the initial general education and spiritual education, these children are generally ten to twelve years old. At this time, the second stage is ushered in, which is the assessment stage.

In these five years, these children have gradually grown up, and they can choose their own lives. Those with good qualifications and those who concentrate on practice should work hard to become the last true disciples.

If you know that you are not qualified enough and have no hope of success, then prepare to learn a skill, such as alchemy, talisman making, or becoming a spiritual cultivator.

A monk who has the skills to practice will always have something to eat no matter where he goes, and at worst he will not be reduced to being a casual cultivator. Although every monk in the Qingyuan Sect can still afford it, the burden is It’s also very important. For a better life, it is also necessary to learn one more skill.

At present, Qingyuan Sect adopts a package allocation model. After the second phase of training is completed, it will be the third phase of training, a five-year apprenticeship model.

The training at this time is no longer within the Qingyuan Sect, but will be sent out to various industries in the Qingyuan Sect to initially participate in production and management.

Now Huang Jing is responsible for the teaching of three apprentices. The spiritual qualifications of these three people are only at the lower middle level at the highest level, which is not up to the standards of true disciples.

At present, the true disciples have reached the level of high-grade spiritual roots, so they have no choice but to choose the profession of spiritual planter.

The qualification range for high-grade spiritual roots is thirty to forty points. The current Qingyuan Sect's standard for true disciples has increased from twenty-eight points ten years ago to thirty-six points now.

The eight-point increase in the past ten years was entirely caused by the addition of Fang Qingyuan and Xiong Feng. This was beyond Fang Qingyuan's previous expectations.

However, the sect's resources are limited and cannot be distributed equally to every monk. If this is really done, it will be irresponsible for the future of Qingyuan Sect.

It is only fair that monks with better qualifications deserve more resources.

High-level monks are the greatest security guarantee for a sect. No matter how many low-level monks there are, it will be difficult to deal with the Golden Core monks. This is caused by the rules of practice, so this distribution model is common in the practice world.

And Fang Qingyuan did not think about the concept of equality, everyone is like a dragon, the rules of the world are different, and apart from the basic production relations, everything is just a castle in the air.

However, Fang Qingyuan still made some changes in his own perception, that is, he professionalized the practice of various arts. Basically, every disciple of the Qingyuan Sect must master a practice skill, rather than being like other sects. Like the true disciples of the sect, they have been immersed in hard training.

The so-called practice of a hundred arts, the more prominent skills naturally belong to the five major categories of formation, alchemy, talisman and control, followed by puppet master, spiritual planter, pulse finder, doctor, astral divination, wind and water reading, etc.

In addition, many other skills, such as clothing, mirror casting, painting, sculpture, music, calligraphy, tea ceremony, incense ceremony, etc., have often become part of the various arts of cultivation after being transformed and sublimated by cultivators.

In Fang Qingyuan's view, this is the cultivation of character. He does not want the true disciples of his sect to be just idiots who practice hard. Studying a skill will also be of great benefit to overcoming tribulations in the future.

Although this theory is not recognized by the cultivation world, it is enough for Fang Qingyuan to accept it, and the resources for practicing these skills are also provided by Qingyuan Sect, so these disciples do not have the courage to resist and say no.

At this moment, Huang Jing is teaching these young Qi practitioners how to identify the quality of a medicinal plant. Although they have learned this knowledge in the second period of the school, it comes from the personal teaching of a second-level middle-grade spiritual plant master. Experience is also rare.

"Xuanyang grass is a second-order low-grade spiritual grass. This grass grows on cliffs with sufficient sunlight. It absorbs the true essence of the sun at noon. Its leaves turn a light golden color and contain abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy.

Monks taking or refining elixirs can improve the efficiency of practicing fire-attribute exercises and increase mana. When looking at the appearance of this elixir, one should start from three aspects. One is the leaves. The darker the light golden color on the leaves. , which means the higher the quality of this elixir is, for example, the one in front of you is golden in color and should be around fifteen years old.

The second is to look at the roots. The soil on the cliffs is sparse and is blown by strong winds day and night. The roots of this grass must be extremely strong, like dragon tendons. Come and see here."

After talking about Xuanyang grass, Huang Jing grabbed a few second-level medicinal materials on the side and started to talk. These medicinal materials are:

Qingxinlian: Born in the clear cold spring, its lotus leaves are green and the flowers are white and flawless. It exudes a quiet and fresh fragrance, which has the effect of calming the mind and exorcising inner demons. Long-term use can help monks practice meditation and improve the effectiveness of practicing mental state techniques.

Nourishing pine cones: Huge pine cones produced on thousand-year-old pine trees. They are rich in earth energy. After eating, they can replenish the true energy in the monks' bodies. They are especially suitable for monks in the basic cultivation stage or those who have lost their vitality due to excessive practice.

Demon-Suppressing Vine: This plant grows in dark and deep forests. Its vines can absorb the surrounding evil spirits and refine them into spiritual power that purifies evil spirits and resists the invasion of external evils.

"Identifying medicinal materials is a university subject. What you are taught in the school is only the most basic. You can only understand it when you sit on the counter and face the medicinal materials sent by the monks. If you are blinded, you will have to wait for half a year. My salary will be gone, so you must be familiar with what I said."

The three ignorant boys and girls nodded vigorously, just like the little white rabbits when they first entered the internship, with stupidity in their clear eyes, which made Huang Jing shake his head inwardly.

"Hey, Lao Huang, please put your affairs aside for now. Someone from the sect is coming. He wants to see you. Come with me to the front yard to greet him."

Ge Xuan's voice came from the door. After Huang Jing heard it, he arranged for the three people in front of him to look at the books to recognize the real objects. He stepped out and saw Ge Xuan.

This Ge Xuan is one of the true disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, but he is an early true disciple after all. Since the Qingyuan Sect's standards for true disciples were not high at that time, he only had the 29-point qualification of the middle-grade wood spirit root.

The status of a true disciple is not something that lasts a lifetime. You cannot say that if you are a true disciple, then you will enjoy the treatment of a true disciple for the rest of your life.

According to the standards of true disciples, foundation is established at the age of forty, and elixir is formed at the age of 110. If you cannot meet this standard, you will have to make a living on your own and sooner or later retire from the position of true disciple.

Currently, among the true disciples there are several disciples with earth-grade spiritual root qualifications whose cultivation has reached the early to middle stage of foundation building. The age at which they achieve foundation building is generally around thirty years old.

In comparison, Ge Xuan is relatively older. He only succeeded in building the foundation when he was forty years old. He is currently in his sixties and has not yet broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. Dan didn't have much hope, so he took on the lowest level of true disciple status and went out to do things, and no longer put all his hopes in cultivation.

The benefits of true disciples are divided into five levels, the highest level of which is of course Jue Wugou, who has the highest level of Tianpin spiritual root qualification.

Next is the second level, foundation-building monks with high spiritual root qualifications among the four earth-levels.

The third level is the lower earth grade, the fourth level is the upper-middle grade, and the fifth level is Ge Xuan, an early true successor with spiritual root qualifications of the middle grade.

Ge Xuan is a monk with a slightly chubby figure. This is due to his minor training in various arts. During his school days, Ge Xuan majored in the skill of spiritual cooking.

But what he couldn't figure out was why the sect wanted to transfer him, a spiritual chef, to the Baicao Hall to be the big shopkeeper. Could it be because Huang Jing's professional ability was too strong and there was no need to send another foundation-builder who knew medicinal herbs? A spiritual planter?

Ge Xuan's hobby is to study food, and it seems to have something to do with various medicinal materials. After all, when stewing meat or something, you also need to pay attention to identifying various medicinal materials, so that the medicinal diet made in this way will be more nourishing.

"Shopkeeper Ge, is there someone from the sect? Who is he?"

Huang Jing was a little surprised. Someone from the sect wanted to see him. This was beyond his expectation. He hadn't done anything wrong recently.

"It's Liao Bufan, the deacon of Tiangong Peak. He's a well-rounded person, and his tone is naturally strict. He doesn't want you to know. You won't be able to figure it out. But it should be a good thing. I think his attitude is quite kind. I'm looking for you. There may be some place where you may be needed."

Ge Xuan took Huang Jing and walked straight to the front yard. All the disciples and servants he saw along the way stopped to salute the two of them.

Baicaotang occupies a large area. After all, it is the property of our own sect, so the best location is naturally reserved for us. Therefore, compared with other large Qiyun businesses such as Licorice Pavilion and Spiritual Medicine Hall outside, it occupies a larger area. Come out a third.

Unfortunately, in terms of influence, it cannot compare with the two major medicine shops that cover half of the cultivation world. Baicaotang is also famous near Qingyuan Sect, and the elixirs and plants it acquires are basically first- and second-level. For the main, slightly higher spiritual grass, those monks must first choose the two major medicine shops.

In the house in front, Liao Bufan was enjoying tea. Regarding the task assigned by Chen Huicheng, the leader, as his most capable deputy, Liao Bufan was naturally interested in it. And when he knew that this was the order given by Patriarch Fang himself, Liao Bufan It is also regarded as a top priority. Compared to Chen Huicheng, the leader who was indifferent to worldly affairs and basically focused on refining weapons and alchemy, Liao Bufancai was more like the invisible leader in charge of all the construction and production of the entire Qingyuan Sect. Unfortunately, his qualifications were not enough, and he was not as good as Chen Huicheng in establishing the Qingyuan Sect. In the early days, he had the status of a veteran. No matter how well he did, he was only Chen Huicheng's deputy.

"Deacon Liao, I've brought Huang Jing here. If anything happens, you guys can talk."

Ge Xuan consciously left this place to the two of them and pushed the door open. After Ge Xuan left, Liao Bufan asked with a smile:
"Master Huang, have you gotten used to living in Baicaotang these years? Are there any difficulties in life?"

Huang Jing was a little uncomfortable. He felt a little strange about Liao Bufan's greeting. What did he do before? Now he asks, "I am really in trouble, can you, the boss, not know?"

Liao Bufan is the deacon of Tiangong Peak. This position is the most prominent position under the leader.

There are a total of three deacons in Tiangong Peak, among whom Liao Bufan is mainly responsible for personnel affairs. He came to find him at this time. Could it be that he wanted to transfer himself back to the main mountain?
"There is no difficulty. I am quite used to living here. I wonder why Deacon Liao came here for this trip?"

Huang Jing was not used to such roundabout ways, so he still asked bluntly, while Liao Bufan still smiled:

"Ancestor wanted to see you, so I came here quickly. Master Huang, you are the most skilled spiritual planter in our Tiangong Peak. No matter how our ancestor treats you, don't lose your place in our Tiangong Peak. , Actually, this person is highly recommended to you by Chief Chen. If you have any good fortune, don't forget your mother's family. "

Huang Jing was shocked by Liao Bufan's words, ancestor? Fang Qingyuan?

He has been coming to Qingyuan Sect for many years, and he has met Fang Qingyuan three times in total. Once when he first joined the sect, he visited Fang Qingyuan with other foreign monks.

The second time was when Fang Qingyuan turned 150 years old, and he mingled with the crowd to celebrate his birthday.

As for the third time, Fang Qingyuan was wandering around the sect. He happened to bump into him, but he didn't get close enough to talk.

Now the ancestor has indicated that he wants to see him, what is the purpose of it?
Stepping into the internal building of Qingyuan Sect, this was a place Huang Jing had never been before. Looking at the plants and trees, Huang Jing felt a little uneasy.

In front of him, Liao Bufan changed his smiling face at the foot of the mountain and became serious. He walked in front, leaving only Huang Jing behind.

After crossing hundreds of steps, the two arrived at the top of Qingyuan Mountain. In front of them was the place where Fang Qingyuan lived.

Huang Jing subconsciously adjusted his Taoist robe. In order to meet Fang Qingyuan, he specially put on his best Taoist robe. It was just because he bought it in the early years and the style was a bit more old-fashioned than the popular styles in recent years.

"Master Huang, the patriarch of the clan is right in front. Let this Taoist boy lead you in. I'll be waiting for you here."

After crossing a Tai Chi stone wall, Liao Bufan stopped. Seeing the two golden boys and girls coming in front of him, he told Huang Jing a few words and stopped on his own initiative.

The two fairy boys held copper basins and silk scarves in their hands and asked Huang Jing to cleanse his face. After Huang Jing finished, they were led into the deep cave.

In the spacious hall, Fang Qingyuan was meditating on the main seat. When he sensed Huang Jing's arrival, he raised his head and looked at him.

In an instant, Huang Jing felt that his heart had stopped beating at this moment. There was an invisible pressure in Fang Qingyuan's eyes, making him breathless.

This is also true. Fang Qingyuan's eyes do have a spiritual level of scrutiny. He wants to confirm that this Huang Jing is not someone from the Lingmu Alliance who broke into the Qingyuan Sect's secret room.

Fang Qingyuan has always been wary of the Lingmu Alliance. Now there must be hidden connections from other forces within the Qingyuan Sect. This is an unavoidable fact.

The Qingyuan Sect has risen too fast. Although the Qingyuan Sect currently has no intention of continuing to expand and dominate, this does not affect the concern and precautions of the two close neighbors, Lingmu and Lihuo. Sending some secret agents in is just a basic exercise.

However, Huang Jing, who is obviously a spiritual planter from the Lingmu Alliance, obviously does not have such a mission. Without him, his status is not suitable for being an anjian. To be an anjian, one must have a clean family, so as to win the favor of the Qingyuan Sect. trust.

Just now, Fang Qingyuan used his spiritual power to examine Huang Jing's shallow thoughts and found that he had no other small thoughts. That was enough.

"Huang Jing, I want you to help me take care of a medicine garden for ten years. During this period, you can't have any contact with the outside world. If you have any needs, you can put them forward now. If you can do it, I will basically agree."

Fang Qingyuan didn't talk nonsense. The status difference between the two was too far. Fang Qingyuan didn't need Huairou. He just gave orders and Huang Jing carried them out. At most, he could handle the immediate requests for Huang Jing, which allowed him to work with peace of mind and no worries.

After hearing Fang Qingyuan's words, Huang Jing had many questions, but he understood that he was not qualified to ask now, so he immediately stated his request:

"This disciple is currently alone, so there is nothing to worry about. It's just that his family far away in Lingmu League has encountered some difficulties recently. If the ancestor can take care of him a little, Jing must die."

Fang Qingyuan smiled:
"This is not a big deal. You should be filial to your son. This is what you should do. The Huang family of Lingmu Alliance, right? I understand, so now you come with me."

Fang Qingyuan stood up and walked down from the main seat. What surprised Huang Jing was that Fang Qingyuan had a wide robe with long sleeves. He did not wear shoes, but walked barefoot on the sapphire stone slab in the hall.

Noticing Huang Jing's gaze, Fang Qingyuan smiled calmly:
"I feel so hot lately that I feel uncomfortable without wearing shoes."

Huang Jing didn't have time to think about how Fang Qingyuan, as a Golden Elixir cultivator, could still be greedy for coolness, before he was taken into the back by Fang Qingyuan, into a passage that spiraled straight down.

After the two of them left, faint black footprints appeared on the sapphire stone slab that Fang Qingyuan had just stepped on, and there was also a strong sense of boredom.

In the belly of the mountain, at the source of the spiritual veins, Fang Qingyuan brought Huang Jing to the void teleportation array.

"This medicine garden is not in Qingyuan Mountain. You need to take the teleportation array to get there. It is considered a secret realm of the sect. This information must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be leaked to the outside world."

Huang Jing kept nodding his head. At this moment, when he saw the situation in front of him, he knew that he could not go back to the past.

"I will pay you the salary for these ten years according to the standards of the third-class true disciple. In addition, if you have any daily needs, you can just mention them. There are people from our Qingyuan Sect among them. Just tell her when the time comes. Now, go in."

Looking at the huge and magnificent teleportation circle, and then looking at the Qingyuan Patriarch in white clothes with snow, wide sleeves, and bare feet, Huang Jingna really couldn't say a word of rejection, so he closed his eyes and took one step. Entered the teleportation array.

The next breath, after a period of spinning, when Huang Jing opened his eyes again, he was shocked by the scenery in front of him.

On the spiritual field, which covers an area of ​​several thousand acres, different spiritual plant communities are distributed according to the environment of the five elements. On this land of only a thousand acres, in addition to the most basic spiritual fields, there are also volcanic lava, ten thousand years, etc. Different complex geographical environments such as cold pools, thick soil and rock formations, etc.

"Is this Lihuo red ginseng? A peculiar ginseng that can only grow near hot volcanic magma? It is a second-grade high-grade ginseng that has been baptized by high-temperature fire. The roots are as red as fire and contain rich fire spiritual power. After the monk swallows it, there is It helps to break through bottlenecks, especially for those who practice fire-attribute skills. It can also effectively improve physical fitness and resist fire-attribute spell attacks. There are so many lava pools here that are less than half a pool?

There is also the thousand-layer jasper bamboo, which has a growth cycle of up to a hundred years, with one section growing every ten years. When it reaches a hundred knots, the bamboo body is as clear and tough as jasper. Each section stores rich life force and earth and wood. Attribute spiritual power, grinding bamboo joints into powder to prepare potions, can strengthen the monk's body and increase the speed of cultivation, but how do these seem to have just been transplanted?
The third-grade middle-grade Yin-Yang Twin Fruit, the third-grade low-grade Dendrobium dendrobium, the holy elixir for body refining, and even the Drunken Dream Orchid. As for this elixir that can increase the intensity of spiritual consciousness, if those formation mages see it, I'm so happy that I'm crazy. "

For example, when Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Huang Jing was immediately attracted by the spiritual plants planted in the medicine garden in front of him. He didn't bother to check his own residence and looked around excitedly at the spiritual plants in front of him.

After a while, when Huang Jing calmed down a little, a gentle female voice came to his ears:

"Huang Jing, I am your person in charge for the next ten years, Fang Ruoxi. If you need anything in the future, just come to me directly."

"Fang Ruoxi?"

Huang Jing immediately had a basic image of this small-sounding female cultivator. She should be a cultivator secretly trained by Patriarch Fang. They both have the surname Fang, which is enough to show the relationship between the two.

And with such a gentle voice, this little girl must also be very cute. She must have a pair of big eyes.

The formation, which occupies a large area, covers the medicine garden like a giant bowl. Outside, the bee mother Fang Ruoxi opened her huge compound eyes and carefully observed Huang Jing's every move. This formation has been modified. You can observe the inside from the outside, but when you look at the outside from the inside, there are only two modes: blue sky and white clouds, or stars.

"Miss Fang, thank you Huang here. If it's okay, can I start working now? Look at the roots of those Lihuo red ginseng, some of them are already a little dry."

"Girl? Hehe, of course, you can do it yourself."

Huang Jing, who was in the formation, didn't know why Fang Ruoxi was laughing, but seeing that Fang Ruoxi agreed, he took two steps forward, squatted next to Lihuo Chican, and began to comb it carefully.
