"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Jun Yu asked with a frown. He was a head taller than Jun Yu. He had a handsome appearance and dark skin, but his vulture eyes made him look a little different.
"Newcomers, please pay this month's membership dues, and each one will get a merit point!" The young man in orange attire said leisurely.
"General level! The other two young men are also at the level of military guards..." Jun Yu's eyes shrank and he thought to himself, "It's not good."
"May I ask this senior brother, what is the membership fee you are talking about?" Jun Yu asked cautiously.
"Lu Che, please explain it to him," said the young man in orange attire.
"We are members of the Three Friends of the Foreign Affairs Hall. You newcomers will join the Three Friends today and turn in some merit points every month. If not, you will suffer in the future." The middle-level young man named Lu Che said.
"Senior Brother Lu, we have just joined the sect and have not made any contributions yet. We are running out of merit points for our own use. How can we have any leftovers?" Jun Yu secretly thought something bad, so he dealt with it while thinking of ways.
"This is a rule, there is no possibility of negotiation! Do you also want to be named a senior brother and teach you martial arts?" Lu Che was a little dissatisfied and threatened.
As soon as Lu Che finished speaking, the orange-colored Jin pretended to be Senior Brother, and walked towards Jun Yu with a smile.
"No, the general level is beyond my ability to resist. It seems that it will be difficult to deal with it..." Jun Yu secretly thought something was wrong.
"Senior Brother Feng, it's not that I don't want to pay now, but I have something I don't know I should say to you?" Jun Yu said in a hurry.
"Oh, tell me, if you don't agree with me, I will inevitably teach you your martial arts skills today!"
"I should join the Three Friends Association to seek refuge, but Senior Brother Feng also knows that I am new to the sect and my merit points are really scarce. After I join the Three Friends Association today, if there are any other associations tomorrow, I will be asked to pay merit points.
, what should we do!"
"You don't have to worry about this. There are still rules. If other parties come to ask you to pay, just tell them that they are from the Three Friends Association. Will other parties make things difficult for you?" Senior Brother Feng said dissatisfied.
"Stop wasting your time and pay your membership fees as soon as possible. The man behind the Three Friends Association is Senior Brother Feng Lan!" Lu Che said in support.
"In this case, I will pay this month's payment." Jun Yu said helplessly, remembering Feng Lan's domineering behavior yesterday.
"It's already halfway through the month, you've paid for two months!" Senior Brother Feng said without any argument.
Helpless, Jun Yu and Yan Qi both took out their tokens, and after rubbing them with Senior Brother Feng's token, the transaction content was displayed. After Jun Yu confirmed it, he found that the merit points in the token had been deducted, leaving only
A little more!
After returning to the stone house and sitting down, although Jun Yu was not angry, he did not continue to argue. Instead, he comforted himself: "People have to lower their heads under the eaves. These merit points are also external things, and strength is the foundation. I should do it myself."
Mian!"
"Eating should be regarded as motivation under pressure and strive to improve one's cultivation." Jun Yu said to himself, took the food box, opened it, and invited the little nine-tailed fox to come and eat with him.
Jun Yu understood that such an environment should be tacitly approved by Lingyun Tiangong, otherwise disciple parties such as the Three Friends would not dare to be so blatant.
And his top priority is to advance to the military guard level as soon as possible, and then take on sect missions to gain merit points. Then use the merit points to buy the elixirs he needs and refine some elixirs for his own use or to sell to the sect.
, earn meager merit points.
After dinner, Jun Yu came to Senior Brother Bai's stone house. After knocking on the door softly, he found no one answered in the stone house, so he returned to his own stone house and began to meditate and comprehend the Xuanyi Sword Technique.
After dinner, Jun Yu came to Senior Brother Bai's stone house again. After knocking on the door softly, there was a "squeak" sound. When the door opened, Senior Brother Bai looked at Jun Yu.
"Senior Brother Bai, I'm here to receive the medicine garden." Jun Yu bowed respectfully.
"Haha, you are impatient. If you have no experience in taking care of the medicine garden, you will suffer a big loss." Senior Brother Bai said kindly.
"To be honest, Senior Brother Bai, I have learned some knowledge about elixirs at home since I was a child. It shouldn't be a big problem to look after a medicine garden." Jun Yu didn't want to hide it, so he said bluntly.
"Oh, I asked you why you rejected Hongyun yesterday. I see. That's good. Our Lingcao Hall has very few disciples to begin with. Just go to the west and manage the medicine garden. Follow me." Senior Brother Bai led the way.
After a while, we arrived at the west side of the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
At a glance, a lush medicinal garden with a few flourishing flowers appeared in front of Jun Yu. It was several miles in size and planted with about twenty kinds of elixirs and herbs.
"I was originally managing this medicine garden, and it was pretty good. Now I'll leave it to you to take charge of it. Can you see if you can take care of it?" Senior Brother Bai said.
"Purple sparkle, fallen flower, dragon elephant horn, condensate grass, black tongue orchid, jade coral, earth inflammation gallbladder, Tianxing grass, Ksitigarbha flower..." Jun Yu took a closer look and listed these twenty kinds of elixirs.
Please name them all.
"Haha, it seems that you really have some knowledge. In this case, from now on, this medicine garden will be under your name. Take care of it carefully and you can get three merit points as reward every month." Senior Brother Bai said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai." Jun Yu thanked him.
"You're welcome. My name is Bai Yinming. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can come to me. This is a manual for the Spiritual Medicine Hall. You should keep it and read it carefully." After finishing speaking, Senior Brother Bai turned around and left.
"Senior Brother Bai Yinming is a nice person, and he takes good care of me..." Jun Yu thought to himself, and then took out the elixir hall manual, found a stone next to the medicine garden, sat down, and looked at it carefully.
It turns out that this elixir hall manual mainly introduces some rules in the elixir hall and the exchange of income and expenditure for elixirs and herbs.
For example, the medicine garden that Jun Yu is responsible for has a total of twenty-three kinds of elixirs. According to the scale and type of elixirs, you can receive three merit points as reward every month. If you take good care of it, you can get three merit points every month.
If you meet the standards, you can get five more merit points in the annual assessment.
There is not much content in the booklet, so Jun Yu already knew it after half a stick of incense. Then he walked around the medicine garden to check the growth of the elixir.
"Senior Brother Bai is really good at serving elixirs. He manages this elixir hospital in a very orderly manner. Although they are all common elixirs in the sect, when they are on the market, none of them are worth tens or hundreds of gold.
It’s a precious elixir, it seems I will have to take better care of it from now on.”
In the elixir garden, the herbs are all divided according to their growth conditions. The elixirs that like light are planted in a wide field with sufficient sunlight. The elixirs that like shade are planted near the foot of a mountain peak, where the sun can hardly reach them.
.
There are three wells next to the medicine garden, which were specially drilled to facilitate water collection. There are clear ravines in the field ridges, which is conducive to the water flow to fully nourish the elixir.
After watching it for a while, Jun Yu was familiar with the growth habits and planting methods of elixirs recorded in "Yuancao Benji". Jun Yu used wooden buckets to draw water from the elixir garden. After watering was completed, he realized that it was already late, so he
He got up and returned to his residence.
After Jun Yu came back, he found the little nine-tailed fox playing on the ground out of boredom. He caught a mouse from somewhere and kept teasing it. Jun Yu glanced at it and ignored it. He went to the quiet room in the stone house and took it.
Get up the Lingyun General Volume and continue reading.
"This magical pill that opens Wuwei's acupoints, the Peiyuan Pill, costs three merit points each! Judging from the efficacy, one Peiyuan Pill can open one acupoint, and there are 720 acupoints in the whole body.
, all in all, it actually requires more than two thousand merit points!" Jun Yu frowned into a knot.
"More than two thousand merit points. I don't eat or drink. I only plant this elixir garden. It will take me more than fifty years to be promoted to a military commander!" Jun Yu was immediately startled.
"It seems that this elixir garden is really not profitable. Hey, it turns out that the best way to obtain merit points is to accept sect missions, and the minimum standard for accepting sect missions is the military guard level..."
On this day, Jun Yu looked at the Lingyun General Volume for another two hours, reading 50% of it in total, then put it away, meditated, and recalled the twenty-three stories in the "Yuancao Benji" about the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
How to plant elixirs.
The next morning, Jun Yu practiced the Xuanyi Sword Technique for more than two hours as usual, had lunch with the little nine-tailed fox, and then went to the elixir garden to fill water and take care of it carefully.
After serving for an entire afternoon, Jun Yu had been squatting in the ridge of the field. He found that his legs and feet were numb, so he got up and practiced a set of sword skills to stretch his body and bones.
"It seems that there is a big difference between the description in the book and the actual operation. I thought I could take care of the elixir garden in an hour, but in reality, I only managed half of it in an afternoon.
"Jun Yu, who finished moving his body and bones, sighed and continued to bury himself in the elixir garden.
After dinner, Jun Yu's spirit was a little weak, and he fell asleep while meditating and adjusting his breath. After sleeping until late at night, Jun Yu slowly woke up, relaxed his muscles and bones, and picked up Lingyun.
The general volume, read the unread parts carefully.
"This Lingyun Tiangong was originally divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is for the disciples of the elders of the mountain peaks, the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and the servants. The inner courtyard is for the core disciples, and the elders of the inner courtyard..."
"The cheapest technique at the Xuan level requires a thousand merit points..." Jun Yu was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"Hey, here are the explanations and compilations of the words before the real demon war, the "Compilation of Ancient Texts", two hundred merit points, ahem... It seems that my incomplete "Dayan Thunder Escape" has some hope...
"
Unknowingly, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. Jun Yu finally finished reading the Lingyun General Book and came to the open space in front of the stone house to start his morning exercises.
On this day, it was not until the sky was getting dark that Jun Yu completely took care of the elixir garden. Looking at the lush and growing elixirs, Jun Yu felt a sense of accomplishment.
"This elixir garden needs to be irrigated with clean water every day and taken care of every ten days. It takes two days each time. For me, this job is not too heavy."
In this way, Jun Yu arranged a timetable for himself. In addition to taking care of the medicine garden, he divided all the time in detail and made full use of it. He tried his best to understand the Xuanyi Sword Art and prepared to break through to the realm of Wuwei.;
