"Is there any problem with the mission I want?" Lu Ming felt so happy after seeing this mission, but the expressions on their faces when they tried to persuade him didn't look fake.
"Master nephew, you don't know something. This task is too difficult. It's not suitable for you to do when you first come here." After hearing Lu Ming's words, Yuan Bing and the disciple in charge came up and said with a wry smile.
But looking at Lu Ming's confused look, as if he didn't understand, he continued: "You don't know something. This task has been placed here since a few years ago, and many disciples have taken over this task, but each one
The disciples all failed. Not only did they not receive rewards, but they were also fined a lot of spiritual stones. Therefore, this task has become one of the most difficult tasks to complete in the task list of the low-level disciples in the sect. To tell you the truth,
There is really no one to take this task, so we have to draw lots to arrange this task!"
After Lu Ming heard what they said, he felt funny in his heart, but he was also a little confused about what was wrong with this elixir garden. However, he was really unwilling to give up this very beneficial task to him, so he sincerely asked Yuan Bing and the others
: "Can you two uncles tell me what's so difficult about this elixir garden? Why so many disciples can't complete it? Isn't it just about managing a garden and taking care of some herbs? What's the difficulty?"
"Haha, did Little Friend Lu choose the task of managing the elixir garden?" Elder Wang's hearty laughter came from behind. Before Yuan Bing and the others could answer, he frowned and asked Lu Ming.
"Yes! The task that Senior Nephew Lu is interested in is the most difficult task for Uncle Huang to complete." When Yuan Bing and the disciple in charge saw Elder Wang's arrival, they hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Haha, little friend Lu, you are really good at picking. You actually chose the most difficult task here. This task is really a headache and difficult to complete. Many disciples who were forced to accept this task have come to me to complain. But
Senior Brother Huang insists on refusing to change the strict requirements for managing the medicine garden, and the number of elixirs handed in is relatively large, and he also refuses to change the reward and punishment conditions for this task, and there is nothing I can do about it!"
"If you really want to know the specific requirements of this task, it doesn't matter. You can follow me to the back hall and have a look. This way you will have a more comprehensive understanding!" Elder Wang said enthusiastically.
After listening to Elder Wang's words, Lu Ming started to murmur in his heart. Ever since he came out of Qingyun Palace, Elder Wang has always been very generous. Even the trivial matter of selecting tasks will be generous and convenient.
, Elder Wang is also a little over-enthusiastic. Although a quota is very valuable, it is at least an equal transaction. There is no need for him to be so enthusiastic towards me. What's more, he is still a busy man, how can he have time to care about this?
Little things.
Although he was very confused in his heart, he still had a respectful look on his face. He followed Elder Wang into the back hall. There were many shelves in the back hall, filled with files.
Elder Wang waved his hand at one of the shelves, and a file appeared in Elder Wang's hand. Then with a wave of his hand, the file came to Lu Ming.
"Thank you, Elder Wang." Lu Ming thanked him, then opened the file and began to read it carefully.
The content of the file is not long. It records the specific requirements and tasks of taking care of the elixir garden. It also records the self-reported experiences of the disciples who used to take care of the elixir garden and the reasons why they thought they failed. Lu Ming looked at it carefully.
Don't miss a word.
When Lu Ming finished reading, he found that Elder Wang was looking at him. He also gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Spiritual Medicine Garden from this file, and carefully analyzed the reasons and difficulties of the previous disciples' failures.
"How about it? If you have difficulty, let's try another one. Although this task is rich in rewards, it is really not something that ordinary disciples can complete. Besides, I have agreed to help you, so you can choose other easier tasks. Now, isn't it?
Every disciple will have the opportunity." Elder Wang seemed to be very concerned and said to Lu Ming with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder Wang, for taking care of me. I don't think I need to change. This task is very suitable for my personality. In addition, I also took care of the elixir garden in my family before, so I still have some confidence in taking care of the elixir garden."
, so I chose him!" Lu Ming said firmly.
Elder Wang was a little surprised when he heard Lu Ming's words, but he also heard Lu Ming's firm determination, and he said nothing more. Since Lu Ming himself was not afraid, what else did he have to say. So he nodded and agreed.
, but he did not take Lu Ming out of the back hall immediately, but hesitated for a while and looked at Lu Ming unnaturally.
"Little friend Lu, there is something I want to ask you for help with. It is the matter of exchanging places for entering the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion last time. I mentioned before that there are several kinds of elixirs that only Aoki Peak can give you. I am currently preparing to ask a person from Spiritual Medicine Peak to
My friend helped me refine a furnace of elixirs, so I am a little nervous on hand, so I ask you to slow down for a while. After this period of time passes, I can exchange all the remaining parts for you. What do you think?" Elder Wang
After hesitating for a while, he said these words.
Lu Ming was stunned when he heard it at first, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Elder Wang? Since it is inconvenient for you, then forget about the rest. You are satisfied if you give it to so many juniors, not to mention
This junior has just arrived, and Elder Wang has also helped me a lot and saved me a lot of detours. The rest will be treated as a tribute to you by this junior!"
Lu Ming was actually very uncomfortable and depressed. There were a lot of elixirs there. The originally promised elixirs were only half given. He hated Elder Wang for breaking the contract now, but he had a pleasant look on his face. He knew that he could not offend this person.
An elder felt extremely bitter in his heart.
"What did you say, little friend? Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep his promises? Since I promised you, I will never give you less, and I will pay you back after one year." After listening to Lu Ming's words, Elder Wang said,
He said with a serious face, showing the appearance of a gentleman, with his head held high.
It was okay not to say this. Lu Ming had already accepted it, but he didn't expect that Elder Wang would say such hypocritical words again. Moreover, looking at the appearance of the gentleman in the clothes, he had the urge to vomit blood.
I really didn’t expect to meet such a shameless senior in this great sect. He obviously wanted to give up part of the fertility elixir, but he found a lot of high-sounding reasons for himself and tried hard to look like a gentleman. Could it be that
Is this how you got your cultivation in the golden elixir stage? Lu Ming was really speechless.
However, he couldn't show it on his face, and he said with a willing look: "Elder Wang, you wrongly blamed the junior. You have always helped me so much, and I should respect you. Besides, the junior now also
If you don’t need it, it’s better to store it with senior first!”
"What Little Friend Lu said makes sense. When you first arrive, these things may not be able to protect you well if you put them on your body. Besides, you new disciples should rely on your own cultivation. Don't rely too much on these external objects, otherwise it will affect your later cultivation.
Then do as you say, these elixirs will be stored with me for the time being. Whenever you need them, just come and get them from me." Elder Wang was very satisfied after hearing Lu Ming's words, his face softened, and he taught Lu Ming a meaningful lesson.
"Then let me help you, Elder Wang, to prevent this junior from causing unnecessary trouble because of this elixir!" Lu Mingqiang said with a smile, but he was comforting himself in his heart. Forget it, this is not my thing in the first place, not to mention that he did help.
I've done a lot of work, so let's give him some compensation.
"Okay, this is nothing, just think that I am doing something for you." Elder Wang said without blushing, and led Lu Ming towards the outer hall.
As soon as they walked out, they saw Yuan Bing and the other two people still bowing their heads and waiting. Elder Wang said with a serious face: "Yuan Bing, take this little friend to hand over and take good care of this little friend. If there is any problem, please do it yourself."
Solve it for me!"
Next, with the help of Yuan Bing, Lu Ming took the token representing the handover of the task, completed all other procedures, and set off for the elixir garden of the elixir villa.
Not long after Lu Ming left, a person walked in from outside the consul hall. It was Elder Wu who had advised Elder Wang that day. He said in a low voice: "Why is Elder Wang so soft-hearted?"
"This is not a matter of softness, but I feel that it is inappropriate to use this method to deal with a newly arrived disciple. Moreover, I think Lu Ming seems to be a very sophisticated person in the city. Is he going to do it openly and secretly?
Go to the boss and report this!" Elder Wang said worriedly.
"Humph, report? What's there to worry about? Didn't this junior follow my arrangements consciously? He just agreed to temporarily store those elixirs here, and I didn't say not to give them to him. Why should he?
Go report it?" Elder Wu said with a confident smile.
Elder Wang nodded, with a look of regret on his face and said: "I really admire this kid. He knows how to advance and retreat at a young age, and the city is not shallow and simple! If he hadn't come from a physical training background,
Monk, I really want to take him into my Qingmu Peak."
"But fortunately he knows the current affairs, otherwise he would have to use another method, which would be a lot of trouble." Elder Wu's eyes turned cold and he said slowly.
"Okay, we two have nothing to worry about. We will crush him to death as easily as crushing an ant to death. However, Elder Wang, although you have spent some money this time, thinking about your grandson, it is worth it."
, don’t forget what we agreed to do.” Elder Wu reminded Elder Xiang unhurriedly.
"Ahem, don't worry. I'll give you ten pills after the furnace elixir is finished. If my grandson hadn't been taking the foundation-building elixir and needed some auxiliary elixirs, I wouldn't have been so shameless to a junior.
What a shameless thing to do!" Elder Wang said, shaking his head with a look of helplessness on his face.
Elder Wu smiled and said nothing. After working together for so many years, did he really need to point it out?
