My family is cultivating immortality, I am working on resources in another world
Chapter 9 Hiring People to Collect Herbs
Although Jiang Ming expected that this trip would not be in vain, he did not expect it to be so smooth.
Regardless, this is a good thing.
After leaving all the pills behind, Jiang Ming told Zhang San and the others to rest and recuperate.
Then find someone who is familiar with the environment and ask where there are many spiritual medicines nearby.
“Before my realm fell, I worked as a herbalist and I’m very familiar with this area.
If you don't mind, I, an old man, will lead the way for you?"
A white-haired old man squeezed out from the crowd and looked at Jiang Ming expectantly, fearing that he would be rejected.
"Excuse me, old man."
Seeing Jiang Ming agreed, the old man quickly took out a wrinkled map and spread it on the millstone beside him.
"You see, the forest we are in is called Meteor Forest.
A meteorite fell here decades ago, and many people come here to hunt for treasures.
Although there are a variety of spiritual medicines here, they are definitely not numerous."
After a pause, the old man lowered his voice, a look of reminiscence on his face.
“I’ve been to the Luoxia Valley before, and the spiritual medicines there are truly countless.
There is a well-known immortal cultivation sect here, Luoxia Sect.
I was stationed there back then. The elixirs there were top-notch, and a cultivator even treated my leg. It’s a pity…”
The old man sighed deeply, and his tone became a little regretful.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming asked curiously, "What's the pity? Luoxia Sect is gone?"
The old man smiled bitterly, "Looking around the world, there are no sects left nowadays.
They were all destroyed by those beast kings!"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ming stopped asking about these sad things.
He pointed at the worn map and said expectantly.
"Uncle, can you give me this map?"
Nodding, the old man readily agreed, “I know the roads around here like my wife.
You can take it however you want, it's fine."
After noting the place Luoxia Valley, Jiang Ming began to assign tasks to everyone.
"You can collect herbs nearby. If you collect three bags of herbs every day, you can get a talisman or a healing medicine.
If you need anything, you can tell me. I don't have any talismans prepared today, so I'll use monster meat as a substitute."
After saying that, Jiang Ming took out the remains of the bull monster, cut off several large pieces of good meat and distributed them to everyone.
The remaining scraps were thrown aside and abandoned.
Although the beef was completely disfigured by lightning, its freshness is undeniable.
These villagers haven't eaten meat for a long time.
Seeing this, he was stunned at first, and then began to divide the meat with great joy.
The villagers were immediately motivated after receiving the heavy meat.
He became more and more satisfied with this business, fearing that Jiang Ming would go back on his word.
Soon everyone started to form groups.
It is not difficult for them to go out and collect herbs with bags on their backs, and collecting three bags of herbs a day is not a difficult task for them.
Besides, after finishing the work, you can rest.
Of course there was no need to procrastinate. Looking at their diligence, Jiang Ming couldn't help but look satisfied.
His plan has been preliminarily completed. If he continues like this, there will definitely be insufficient resources within the clan!
The journey ended again, and Jiang Ming quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The villagers were used to Jiang Ming's coming and going, so they didn't take it seriously.
...
Inside the secret room, the Guyuan Pills were almost used up.
Jiang Ming had no choice but to take out the Mind-Concentrating Pill and start refining it.
Ever since his ancestor taught him martial arts last time, his mental strength has been greatly improved.
He didn't care much about spiritual power and put it behind the cultivation of the physical body.
After taking a pill to calm the mind, a cool feeling flows through the body.
It makes people feel completely relaxed.
[Successfully refined the Concentration Pill, charging 5%! ]
【Current Energy: 5%! 】
Although the grade of the Soul-Concentrating Pill is similar to that of the Essence-Consolidating Pill, the charging effects are very different.
This made Jiang Ming a little disappointed.
There are only sixteen pills in the jade bottle, which can restore the energy to 80% at most.
Even if you eat it all, you won't be able to travel through time again today.
Jiang Ming decided to go all out and simply stopped practicing.
Go to the Sutra Library to search for martial arts and secret manuals.
Although most of the martial arts collected by the Jiang family are not of high grade, they can at least be used.
It is okay to learn some to lay the foundation for the future.
Come to the Sutra Repository.
There was no one guarding the place, and the door was covered in dust.
When I opened the door, a foul smell hit me in the face.
There is no doubt that there must be many secret books that are infested with insects and damaged.
The family has fallen on hard times in the past two years and the house has not been renovated.
After a while, when all the resources have been accumulated, Jiang Ming will have to expand it.
Otherwise, in such an environment, how can the younger generation rise?
After reaching the top floor of the Sutra Library, Jiang Ming finally saw some valuable martial arts books.
He selected carefully and finally picked up a book of basic sword techniques called "Spring and Autumn Sword".
The sword manual is very thin, only less than ten pages, and contains two moves.
However, it is a top-grade yellow-level martial art, and its quality is considered top-notch in the Sutra Repository.
Compared to other complicated sword techniques, this one is both simple and easy to learn, and extremely powerful.
It is extremely easy to get started, and is very suitable for people like Jiang Ming who like to pursue efficiency.
If you can master them, your strength will definitely be greatly improved.
Sitting on the bench, carefully studying martial arts, as time went by.
He gradually came to appreciate the subtlety of it.
This sword technique is more of a method of mobilizing spiritual energy than a martial art.
The core idea is clear.
It's all about having spiritual energy like water, flowing endlessly.
The sword move in the first half of the volume, Spring Thunder, requires continuous mobilization of spiritual energy to form a sword aura.
Wrapped in the long sword, it is invincible and can destroy everything in its path!
When this sword comes out, it is decisive and sharp.
Continuous attacks don't give the enemy any time to react.
The sword moves in the second half of the volume, Qiu Shui, use sword energy to protect the body and form a thorough defense.
There are both offense and defense, and the considerations are quite thorough.
Jiang Ming swung his sword and mobilized the spiritual energy out of his body, trying to wrap it around the sword and form a sword aura.
I thought it was simple, but actually doing it is another matter.
The spiritual energy only leaves the body for a moment and is difficult to sustain.
Before it could form into a sword aura, the spiritual energy it drew out had already quietly dissipated.
Not to mention crushing it with ease, with just this little bit of spiritual energy, the sword wouldn't even make a sound.
The power is not as strong as a direct chop!
There was no progress, and Jiang Ming couldn't help feeling a little upset.
After taking a concentration pill to relieve the pressure, he began to read the sword techniques over and over again, looking for omissions.
...
After a long time, Jiang Ming put the sword technique back to its original place, looking quite lost.
There has been no progress, so I can only practice again another day.
Looking up out the window, the sun was already setting.
I sat here for several hours without noticing how quickly time passed.
Leave the Sutra Library.
Jiang Ming went straight to Qingyu's boudoir and knocked on the door softly a few times.
Squeak.
He adjusted his clothes slightly and stretched.
Qingyu stuck her head out and looked at Jiang Ming's gloomy face with some confusion.
"Brother Jiang Ming, why do you look so bad? What happened?"
"It's okay, there was a little problem with the cultivation." Without explaining it in detail to Qingyu, Jiang Ming changed the subject and began to ask about the distribution of the pills.
With a light chuckle, Qingyu reported the situation in a soft voice.
"Don't worry, they've all been sent out."
As if she remembered something, she suddenly clapped her hands and looked at Jiang Ming with a frown.
"Oh, right! I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Didn't you say that there were enough elixirs?
Why didn't I get the new batch of elixirs?"
Jiang Ming patiently explained in a gentle voice, "I've collected all the spiritual herbs and will go get some soon."
Nodding, Qingyu took the two bottles of pills from the table.
She opened her hand and handed it to Jiang Ming with a sweet smile on her face.
"It's still the same, one bottle of Mind-Concentrating Pills and one bottle of Essence-Strengthening Pills.
Go get the elixir back quickly, I will try to refine all your recent elixirs..."
Rubbing her little head, Jiang Ming felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but sigh at Qingyu's hard work.
Take the elixir and head to the secret room.
After recharging his energy, Jiang Ming made the journey with ease.
As the boss, he wants to inspect the villagers' work results.
