"Junior Brother Chen has outstanding spiritual talent. He is already in the advanced stage of Qi training at a young age. I think he will fight for the position of True Successor. After all, only by becoming a True Successor can he be qualified to redeem Foundation Establishment Pills."
Teng Jie's words were right. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but did not hide it and nodded directly.
"With Junior Brother Chen's age and talent, he will definitely have a bright future. Our Senior Brother Liu from the Spiritual Planting Department failed to build the foundation last month and his realm has fallen. He should retire from the position of true successor in the next few days." When Lu Jun heard this, he frowned slightly, but when he thought of Senior Brother Liu's contribution of 300 loans to him for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he shut up.
"With the twenty-four true heirs of the sect, there will be a guaranteed quota for our spiritual plant department. After Senior Brother Liu failed to build the foundation, his vitality has been damaged, and he owes everyone a lot of contributions from the sect. Before it is paid off, he will definitely not be able to return.
It’s among the true stories.”
"After Senior Brother Liu, the person in the Lingzhi Department who will replace him as the true successor should be Senior Brother Li Li. However, he is only in charge for a while, and his actual talent is not even as good as that of Senior Brother Liu."
"If Junior Brother Chen joins our Spiritual Planting Department and works hard for ten years, when the next batch of Foundation Establishment Pills are completed and you reach the ninth level of Qi training, you will be able to compete with Senior Brother Li Li or work for my Spiritual Plant again.
It's better for you to earn a spot as a true disciple than to be alone in the mountains."
Chen Mobai's heart skipped a beat when he said this.
Indeed, although Shenmu Sect only requires 10,000 sect contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, there are actually many invisible rules behind the scenes.
For example, real transmissions are given priority.
The true biography is also ranked in sequence.
In the sequence, the priority of those who have never built a foundation is higher than those who have failed to build a foundation once.
According to Chen Mobai's original idea, after a few years of practicing the ninth level of qi, he would choose a true disciple with little background to challenge and replace him in the sect competition.
But now after listening to Teng Jie's words, I understand that if he does this, even if he really succeeds, then won't he become a true successor in the eyes of other disciples who has no background and can challenge?
If you join the Spiritual Planting Department, although you may be a little busier, at least you will have a tree in the Shenmu Sect to protect you from the wind and rain.
But, is it too early to join now?
Chen Mobai is still hesitating. He is now focused on practicing Qi to perfection first, and really doesn't want to waste time on other things.
"Junior Brother Chen, there is another key to redeeming the Foundation Establishment Pill. I wonder if you have considered it."
At this moment, Teng Jie spoke again.
"It's the sect's contribution."
Chen Mobai also explained the key point clearly.
Teng Jie nodded and explained the details to him, the new disciple of the sect.
"The setting of sect contribution points is linked to spiritual stones. Most sect tasks are worth as much spiritual stones as the sect contribution points are given to those who complete them. This means that we need to earn sect contribution points for the sect.
Ten thousand spirit stones can be enough to redeem the sect's contribution for one foundation-building pill."
"Among all the sect's tasks, there are very few exceptions. Because the scale is too small and the harvest is too little, no one is willing to do it, but it is indispensable to the sect, so the Hall of Rewarding Goodness will
Adjust the proportion of contribution and guide the sect disciples to do this task."
"This kind of field is one of them."
"In other tasks, one spiritual stone is equivalent to one point of sect contribution, and farming takes nearly a year to harvest. During this period, it is necessary to constantly use the spiritual needle technique to kill insects and the falling rain technique to irrigate.
We also need to prevent the invasion of birds and beasts. The harvest is not proportional to the effort, resulting in hundreds of acres of spiritual fields in our Shenmu Sect being abandoned. All disciples who know spiritual plants have applied to maintain the medicinal fields."
"Because the value of a first-grade high-grade medicinal herb is equivalent to the harvest of an acre of spiritual land."
"After cultivating Qi and above, monks have to change their tendons and cleanse their marrow. In order not to be contaminated by the tacky grains, in addition to Bigu Pills, they also eat spiritual rice. If no one is going to farm, should we ask the Foundation Establishment Elder or even the two ancestors to do it in person?
”
"So in order to guide the disciples to farm, the sect has specially adjusted the sect's contribution to farming and increased it to ten times. But even so, many disciples will choose to give up after a year of farming. They feel that they have paid too much and gained more.
."
"If Junior Brother Chen is willing to show his talents, even if he can't take care of too many spiritual fields by himself, he can guide some new disciples and contribute a tenth of the harvest."
"After ten years of this, I'm afraid I won't even need to borrow money from my fellow disciples when exchanging the Foundation Establishment Pill."
After saying this, Chen Mobai was completely moved.
It turns out that the benefits of farming are so great?
But this is mainly because of his superb farming skills from the Immortal Sect and the abundant spiritual energy here in Jumuling.
"Senior brother is so sincere, so I would be disrespectful."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
So, Chen Mobai followed the two of them to the Shenmu City in the center of Jumu Ridge.
This is also the only place in Jumu Ridge where mortals live, because outside the city is a vast thousand-acre medicinal field, which is also the heart of Shenmu Sect.
There are many elixirs and the Spiritual Planting Department does not have enough manpower, so some ordinary elixirs are left to the mortal descendants of the disciples to take care of them.
The three palaces and twelve departments have offices in Shenmu City, and nearly 80% of the disciples of the entire Lingzhi Department are here to take care of the medicine fields.
After Lu Jun and Tengjie handed over the jade sprout rice in the storage bag to the department manager responsible for storage, they completed a departmental task.
After confirming the acceptance from the Spiritual Planting Department, Chen Mobai took his Shenmu Sect disciple nameplate to the Lingbao Pavilion and swiped it, and he found that there were 458 more points of sect contribution.
Although this sect's contribution is equivalent to one spiritual stone, in private transfers, the price will increase by about 20%.
"Junior Brother Chen, you and Junior Brother Teng wait here for a moment."
Although I was invited, I still need to talk to the leaders above.
Lu Jun walked in with a smile on his face, but immediately walked out with a strange expression.
"Two junior brothers, come in together."
I walked into a lobby with many chairs and found that there were many people sitting there.
The three leaders were lined up under a huge map, drinking tea with different expressions.
Below the three of them, there are seven or eight Shenmu Sect disciples sitting on two sides. The one on the left is pale and seems to have been seriously injured. The one on the right has scorched skin and thick hands and feet, like an old farmer.
After Chen Mobai and the other three came in, one of the chubby foundation-building monks pointed to an empty seat in the corner, and Lu Jun immediately took them to sit there and listen.
