The days passed peacefully, and Li Qiao's body gradually returned to normal. The experience of almost dying was also getting further and further away from his memory. At first, he would occasionally dream of that scene, but then it disappeared. But because he had been weak for a while, his idea of becoming a pharmacist became more difficult.
"In terms of the total amount of medicinal herbs collected this year, Li Youshun ranks first, and Li Guangling ranks second. From now on, you two will continue to go up the mountain to collect herbs."
"As for mentioning others, there is no need to go. We will start gathering in the east courtyard of Xifeng tomorrow to learn planting..."
This is what the family manager said after gathering all the little herb collectors. The life of the Li family may seem comfortable, but it is actually full of competition. Take this herb collection as an example, it is impossible for a group of little herb collectors to continue collecting herbs for several years.
, there is no need for so many people.
Two outstanding people were selected for training and preparation, while the others were eliminated and left to do other things.
If there is a problem with the two preliminary ones, these eliminated ones have also undergone preliminary training and can be used as preliminary preparations.
But as a family with inheritance, these things are not spoken out directly, but are constantly classified through the unconscious performance of the clan members.
"What? Are you a little disappointed that you didn't continue collecting herbs?" After everyone dispersed, a voice sounded behind Li Qiao, who was thinking about something.
When he heard the voice, he knew it was Li Yuheng, who had lived in the same house with him. He turned around and looked at the other person and then said: "I'm just thinking about something!"
When Li Qiao usually turned in the medicinal herbs, he also paid attention to how others collected them. He felt that he was among the best. He was wondering if he had not had some health problems before, which caused the number of medicinal herbs collected to drop sharply.
Will he be one of the two?
"What? Do you think that if you are the first to collect medicinal herbs, you will be the one left behind?"
Seeing the other party's expression with some thoughts, Li Qiao replied: "For us mortals who serve the family, there is not much difference in what we do, not at all!"
"Maybe!"
It cannot be said that Li Yuheng's guess is wrong, but no matter what the truth is, Li Qiao has no intention of discussing it with him.
There is no use saying it. It would be bad if bad rumors spread, so it is better not to say it. No matter whether the other party is unintentional or intentional, it will not have an impact on you.
What Li Qiao said was true to his heart. In a world where one can cultivate immortality and cannot cultivate immortality, there is not much difference in doing other things. Moreover, he has stayed in the clan for a long time and has a basic understanding of the situation of the mortals in the clan.
There are some gaps, but overall they are not huge. Although some things are leisurely, the time spent in the clan will be longer, while those that are relatively tiring will stay in the clan for a shorter time.
After chatting casually with the other party for a few words, the two parties separated and returned to their residence. Li Qiao lay on the wooden bed and said softly: "Dad, it seems that I am going to completely disappoint you!" p>
Li Qiao didn't care about what he did within the clan, but he always remembered his father Li Jixiu's instructions to him to get as close to the family monks as possible, but there was no hope at all.
In the few years since he came to the clan, not counting that accident, the closest distance between him and the monk was hundreds of feet away. Let alone getting close, he didn't even have a chance to say a word. He also guessed that the news about his father might be out of date.
But that’s it already.
According to the normal trajectory, he will continue to work in his ancestral land, and he will have two opportunities to go back to visit his family. If he behaves well, he can get one more time.
In the end, their group of mortals living here will be replaced by those who come after them and sent to live in a new place. A new town will be built around the mortal relatives of the newly promoted monks in the family. If he wants to return to the Wangxian Formation, he can
Yes, but you have to pay more, such as extending the period of stay in the clan area, etc.
After Li Qiao began to learn planting for a period of time, a discussion among the monks from the tribe brought some changes to them, ordinary tribesmen.
"This is a mineral vein. Unlike other branches, it requires a large number of mortal clan members. But clan leader, are the two or three opportunities for each person to go back and visit too much?" This is a man who is about to escort some mortals home for a visit.
The monk said it.
"Is this the reason again? Don't mention this matter again. It's still five times at the beginning. There is a bottom line when you propose this once and reduce it once. These are people of the same clan! You must remember the motto of my Li clan. Common people are also an important foundation of the family.
!"
The reason why cultivators recommend maintaining a cultivating family is not just for the sake of family inheritance, but mainly because they can stay together in the cruel world of cultivating immortals. People of the same clan who are connected by blood are relatively more trustworthy.
Mortal tribesmen are there to continue to pass on the bloodline and produce low-level monks, and low-level monks serve the high-level monks.
The matter of monks escorting ordinary people has a long history and has been mentioned many times. It is obvious that it is the same this time.
"Qingyusan is also in short supply!" Another monk's voice sounded.
"There is also a shortage of such common medicines? Don't they distribute medicinal seeds in the nearby mountains every year and let children pick them?"
"But I can't stand it and I need so much..."
Everyone has desires, and mortals are no exception. Mortals in the clan perform their own duties. If they are not restrained, how many babies will be born.
This kind of babies is different from young children who can be cultivated directly. They need to be taken care of, and once the number increases, they will also mess up the rules governing the mortals of the clan.
Qingyu Powder can not only temporarily eliminate the desires of mortals for a period of time, but also strengthen the body. It is a basic necessary medicine for adult mortals in the clan. It is dispensed by pharmacists, which is also one of the main responsibilities of mortal pharmacists.
"Stop talking about these excuses. Do you have any ideas? Let's just say it directly!" The patriarch spoke directly.
"The patriarch's eyes are like a torch, and his thoughts can be seen directly!"
"It is indeed not appropriate to reduce the number of visits, but it does take up the time of the monks in our clan. I am thinking this way, can the time be extended? Now the general service is 25 to 40 years, can it be done?
... Patriarch, can you please stop looking at me like this? It’s not just a matter of extending the time!”
"What is that?"
"You can allow some ordinary people to receive spirits. This will not only save Qingyu Powder, but also increase their longevity and extend their time in the family."
"What's your bad idea?"
"Nailing is just absorbing, it doesn't count as cultivation!" Naling is the beginning of a cultivator's cultivation. If you only stay in the realm of spiritual cultivation, you really can't practice.
"Only spirit? Not providing any cultivation resources? What can be achieved through cultivation? How can life be increased without cultivation? Isn't this a scam?"
"You can let them choose by themselves! Make it clear that they choose their own path, and they can't blame us!"
"Whoever chooses whom is a fool! Don't do this..."
"Clan leader, give it a try. If it doesn't work, I won't mention it again!"
"...I'll think about it again!"
The weak do not have much choice and can only follow the crowd.
But sometimes you can choose a rafting posture you like.
