Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 22 Free Weeds

"Senior Sister! Second Senior Sister!"

"Stop yelling!" A head popped out from the tall flowers and shouted sharply, "Can't you see I'm busy? Where have you been these past two days? You asked me a weird question the other day and you haven't been seen since! Do you still want to take care of Lingtian?"

"Why are you here today~" Lin Jian approached with a smile.

He came here to ask for a favor, so of course he had to be nice.

Let’s put the matter of purchasing various medicinal materials aside for now. After helping Second Senior Sister finish the work, everything will be easy, right?

"I'll go right away!" Lin Jian and Chun Xue climbed up the mountain terraces with ease.

After crossing the corners of the mountains, the view suddenly opens up.

Large tracts of neatly cultivated terraced fields appeared before their eyes, lush and green.

It's all over the mountains and plains, endless.

"Wow!" Haruyuki exclaimed, "So many."

"All the food for the entire sect is here." Lin Jian waved his hand, covering everything from east to west.

The fellow disciples who appeared in the Spirit Gathering Square every morning were only the active disciples of the Zhengyang Sect. Other disciples who had left the sect, such as the many senior brothers and sisters in the forest, would not compete with them for the spiritual energy in the Spirit Gathering Square.

But except for some who really have the means and ability to do well even if they go out, most of the rest have not left the sect.

Being born in a sect, they naturally have inextricable ties with the sect, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation have actually always been within the sect.

Before the foundation-building stage, they need to eat ordinary food from the mundane world. Starting from the foundation-building stage, they can practice fasting to a certain extent, but spiritual food with richer spiritual energy is also quite nutritious for them.

These terraced fields all over the mountains are the source of support for the entire sect.

As he spoke, Lin Jian had already stepped onto the ridges of the fields and was checking them one by one.

If the plant is short of water, add water; if the plant is short of fertilizer, add fertilizer.

If you encounter insect pests, you must check and kill them.

Fortunately, my senior sister was not idle either. She had taken care of a lot of the terraced fields on the mountain, leaving less than half in the forest.

"Your senior sister is responsible for all these?" Chunxue followed behind Lin Jian, not quite understanding the busy work. "Wouldn't it be easy to just send a Jindan-stage cultivator over?"

Look at the rain-making technique that Lin Jianshui is using right now. It can only cover a small area. If someone were in the Jindan stage, wouldn't a few rain-making techniques solve all the problems?
Look at those insect pests again. Under the divine consciousness of a Jindan stage cultivator, how many of the insects on the mountain can escape observation?

The efficiency is totally not on the same level. Isn't it a bit too stupid to rely on these cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages to do this kind of work?
"That's different. Big shots have big things to do. When their Qi is depleted, they need time to breathe and replenish it. Their breath is more precious than our day. Isn't the reason the sect accepted us as disciples just to save these fragmented time to support their cultivation?"

"But isn't it a bit too much to let your senior sister be the only one in this huge field?"

"Senior Sister asked for it herself."

After concentrating his mind and performing the Rain-Calling Technique once more, Lin Jian recounted with a look of nostalgia, "In the past, the sect had many disciples working together, but when there were too many people, they would blame each other and argue. Back then, Senior Sister Ma wasn't like she is now. She was timid and had a quiet voice, and was always bullied. Later, she simply took over the entire farm by herself. No one bullied her anymore, and she could also get subsidies from the sect, killing two birds with one stone."

"But can she handle it?"

Lin Jian raised his head and grinned, "Isn't that me?"

Haruyuki's eyes began to gleam with gossip, and he looked excited. "So you and your senior sister are actually..."

"Yes!" Lin Jian said confidently, "I am her outsourced worker."

“…” The enthusiasm faded.

Why is it just outsourced labor? (Fall)

Concentrate on working in the woods.

As the sun in the sky gradually moved westward, the magic power in the forest was gradually exhausted.

Just as he was sitting in meditation to restore the internal energy, the familiar pain of tearing his body apart came again.

It's time for the Golden Spirit Pill.

The supreme immortal-grade golden spiritual root talent was mercilessly extracted from Lin Jian's body, and the physical changes that had occurred once before were repeated. This time, because of the injuries he had already sustained, the pain was even more severe.

Lin Jian lay on the ground like a cooked shrimp, his whole body twitching and cramping, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

The fairy in the snow-white dress stood indifferently by the side, watching with pity, unable to help.

Is this the life of an ordinary cultivator in the Lower Nine Realms?
My masters often said that the cultivators in the lower nine realms were primitive, barbaric, and chaotic.

This is a land that should have been abandoned long ago.

But she didn't believe it, so she wanted to come and see for herself.

What I see now...

They are cunning, tenacious, and take advantage of every opportunity, growing freely and wildly like untended weeds.

'I like this rawness,' she thought.

……

Lin Jian climbed up from the ground, sweating profusely, with his true energy restored and replenished. He looked at the corner of the spiritual field that had not been taken care of and rushed over with fighting spirit.

"Little Spirit Field, can't I satisfy you today?"

Looking at the green grains growing vigorously in the sun all over the mountains, Lin Jian clapped his hands and felt a sense of accomplishment.

The senior sister had found some time to come over for a stroll. Seeing Lin Jian idle, she casually threw a storage bag over and said, "This is the spiritual farm subsidy for this month. Five thousand spiritual stones, all for you."

Lin Jian was holding the storage bag with a surprised look on his face. "Why did you give it all to me? Wasn't it half and half each before?"

Senior Sister glared at me with her big eyes on her round face. "I'm giving it to you now, so why are you talking so much nonsense? If you want it, take it or not, I'll feed it to the dogs!"

"Feed me, feed me." Lin Jian quickly hid the bag behind him and looked at his senior sister hesitantly.

"Why do you look so constipated? If you have something to say, just say it! Don't make me vomit by looking at me like a sissy."

Sometimes I miss the senior sister who used to be afraid to speak loudly.

Lin Jian was shocked and blurted out, "I just want to ask if I can buy some alchemy materials from Senior Sister?"

"Material for the elixir?" Senior Sister Ma's eyes lit up, and she extended her index finger and tapped Lin Jian's chest with surprise. "Have you become more capable, little Jianzi? You can even bring business to me. Tell me, what do you want? How much?"

"Three-year-old Lingyuan grass, nine taels; five-year-old Qingyun grass, six taels; twenty-year-old Xingchen flower, only the fresh petals are needed, twelve taels..."

Facing the change in the senior sister's eyes from expectation to irritability, Lin Jian's voice became smaller and smaller.

This was after he urgently calculated the assets he currently had and the amount after purchasing on the spot.

Unfortunately, even though his income has skyrocketed in recent days and he now has a huge sum of 14073 low-grade spirit stones on hand, it is still not enough to buy ingredients for the elixir.

Sure enough, the second sister, as the source wholesaler, looked down upon this small business.

At this time, she counted on her fingers and said to Lin Jian, "You mean... from now on, I will buy seeds for you to plant, carefully care for three different spiritual plants every day, and then pick and process them separately, and in the end, I will only make more than 20 taels of your business?!"

Lin Jian was at a loss as to what to do. He could only look up with his little face, his eyes twinkling, "Senior Sister..."

This is his unique killer move against his senior sister.

Every time you attack your senior sister, her anger will be reduced by 100% and her patience will be increased by 50%.

Sure enough, the senior sister's eyes softened, and she nodded helplessly at Lin Jian's brow, "Alright, alright, alright, you're so handsome! Here! Take it."

Lin Jian held a thick secret book in his arms, and saw a few large words clearly written on the cover -

A Complete Guide to Planting and Care of Herbs

"?"

"Grow it yourself!" Senior Sister Ma waved her hand and turned away. "Grow whatever you want. I'll prepare the seeds and fields for you. Go back and study how to grow it first."
