Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 592
Chapter 592 Qingyu Garden
“Is the place for cultivation big enough?”
Fei Changnong nodded: “What else?”
“It’s quiet enough. I don’t want to be disturbed every other day…”
Fang Xing smiled.
“Junior brother is indeed a hard-working person.”
Fei Changnong showed a trace of embarrassment.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xing calmly stuffed a flying squirrel bag over.
In any system, as long as there are people in charge, there will definitely be human relationships and various connections.
Fei Changnong moved his sleeves and took the flying squirrel bag without leaving a trace. He glanced at the talisman money inside, and the smile on his face became more sincere. “It has always been necessary to cultivate in a large place. Our sect does have some, but most of them are remote, resulting in insufficient evil spirits and energy, which is not conducive to the cultivation and recovery of mana… But Junior Brother, you came at the right time. What do you think of this mission?”
He tore off a page of gold paper and handed it to Fang Xing.
Fang Xing took it and looked at it: “Take care of the medicine garden?”
After taking a few more glances, I couldn’t help but feel moved.
This medicinal garden is far away from the core of Qingmuling and is located on the edge, but it covers a vast area, tens of thousands of acres.
Moreover, it is located in a valley, which is very quiet and leisurely, and usually there are only a few Qi-sensing disciples taking care of it.
It can be said that the Taoist monks were the ones in charge in the past, and their words were law, and they could easily decide the life and death of those disciples.
In addition, there is a thousand-year-old evergreen tree in the medicine garden, which has become a “spiritual source” and is enough to supply Taoist monks with cultivation.
It can be said that all aspects have been taken into consideration.
“It really suits me.”
Fang Xing nodded with a smile.
“Well, it’s just that taking care of the medicinal garden is a long-term task. Once you accept it, you can’t leave easily for at least a hundred years… Of course, it’s okay to take a few days off occasionally.”
Fei Changnong said: “Also, every ten years, a batch of hundred-year-old spiritual medicines must be handed over… The more you pay, the higher the sect merits and contributions you will get. But to be honest, every junior brother and sister who took on this task before, each of them thought they were great at spiritual farming, but in the end they didn’t make much…”
It can be said that the low cost-effectiveness of this task is the reason why it has been kept until now.
However, for Fang Xing, who is both a druid and has forged a “lush” Taoist foundation, this task can be completed to the extreme by him.
Of course, he wouldn’t do that.
“I think this is the place.”
Fang Xing smiled.
“In that case, I will register you. From today on, you will be the ‘Manager of Qingyu Garden’.”
Fei Changnong picked up a pen and recorded it in the golden account book. He also refined a wooden token on the spot and handed it to Fang Xing: “This is the Qingyu Garden formation token… Junior brother, go now.”
“Thank you very much.”
Fang Xing took the token, clasped his fists, and left the small hall.
Fei Changnong looked at Fang Xing’s leaving back, his eyes flashing, and he remained silent.
“This kid…actually only wants to be the manager of a remote herb garden?”
“Even at the cost of bribery, and even using the connections that the Fei family had accumulated before?”
While he was pondering, a woman in red came in and sat directly on his lap: “Brother Changnong…the man who just left is Fang Xing recommended by the Fei family?”
The sound is so penetrating that one becomes addicted to it unconsciously.
Fei Changnong’s eyes flashed with a smile, and he put his arms around the woman’s slender waist, feeling her delicacy and vitality, and said with a smile: “It’s him… I originally thought that this person had some plan, but I didn’t expect that he would ask Qingyu Garden for an errand…”
“Qing Yu Garden? What’s the difference between that and hair matching?”
The red-dressed woman laughed tenderly: “Is this person… stupid?”
“Humph, either he is pretending to be crazy, or he is a person who is devoted to cultivation. Because there is no way to advance after the foundation of Taoism, he has to join the sect… It is precisely because of this that he chose to be the manager of Qingyu Garden. It seems that he is exiled, but in fact he is not taking sides…”
Fei Changnong said: “Although my last name is Fei, I have been separated from the Fei family for many generations… Naturally, I will focus on the sect, and I need to take a good look at this person’s sincerity.”
“How do we try? Why don’t we… Junior Sister give it a try?”
The woman in red chuckled.
“I’m afraid that person can’t bear your ‘longing’…”
Fei Changnong chuckled: “Time reveals a person’s true character… It’s just a matter of waiting a few years. If that person has any plans, he will be unable to hold back sooner or later.”
…
Qingyu Garden.
As Fang Xing flew along, he found that the place was becoming more and more remote. It was not until he was almost out of the range of Qingmuling that he saw a canyon.
At the entrance of the canyon, there is a layer of green light curtain.
However, when he took out the token made by Fei Changnong, he entered smoothly.
The canyon is very large, with an area of tens of thousands of acres.
However, most of it is still in a wild state.
Only a medicinal garden was built in the most central place, covering an area of only a few hundred acres.
In the center of the medicine garden is an evergreen tree.
In the perception of Fang Xing the Druid, this thousand-year-old evergreen tree sensed Fang Xing’s arrival and immediately exuded a friendly and approachable mood.
“I see… If it weren’t for this thousand-year-old evergreen tree, perhaps Qingyu Garden wouldn’t even be built.”
Fang Xing sensed it a little and made a positive conclusion in his mind: “This medicine garden is just a supplement. It is mainly for taking care of this thousand-year-old evergreen tree, right? It seems to be a ground vein node. Is it related to the formation of Qingmu Ridge?”
“Who is it?”
His arrival has attracted the attention of the disciples in the medicine garden, and one by one the disciples flew up.
Fang Xing looked around and found that there were only three people in total.
Among them, the one who was flying with the help of the internal energy was a skinny old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties. Of course, he was very old among mortals, but for a cultivator, he could still work for many more years.
The other two were a farmer in his thirties or forties, with simple and honest features.
The other person was an old woman in her late 50s with rough hands and feet.
Both of them have only the fifth or sixth level of Qi perception cultivation, so it is difficult for them to fly on their own, so they use magical tools such as kites.
“I thought there would be some clever disciples, but they are sent to sit on the bench. What good can they be?”
Fang Xing complained in his heart and showed his own token.
When these three disciples saw that Fang Xing was a Taoist monk, they understood a little bit.
Seeing Fang Xing’s token again, the old man was the first to salute: “Disciple ‘Meng Tiandong’, greets the manager of the medicine garden.”
“Disciples Yu Santian and Hua Qing… greet the steward.”
The remaining two disciples saluted hastily.
“Well, let me take a look at this medicine garden…”
When Fang Xing arrived at the medicine garden, he saw acres of medicinal fields with many magical herbs arranged in an orderly manner, and the garden was full of vitality.
“Introduce it to me.”
“yes.”
Meng Tiandong took the lead and led the way: “This medicine garden mainly grows ‘Qingyu Grass’, and also grows ‘Qinglong Flower’ and ‘Sansheng Fruit’… The dozen acres of spiritual rice fields outside are planted by us disciples.”
“Well, you guys are thoughtful.”
Fang Xing understood and knew that these disciples were in a difficult situation and had ended up having to open up new land.
But he will definitely not care about these and will just turn a blind eye.
He still understands the principle that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
Moreover, being able to reclaim wasteland and grow spiritual rice shows that one’s spiritual farming skills are pretty good. No wonder this place is well taken care of.
“According to the sect’s regulations, all kinds of spiritual medicines are harvested once every ten years, and we need to hand in thirty hundred-year-old Qingyu grass, twenty Qinglong flowers, and ten Sansheng fruits… If there is a shortage, the medicine garden manager will deduct our merits, and we will be punished directly…”
Meng Tiandong’s voice carried a hint of fear as he came to the center of the medicine garden: “Under this thousand-year-old evergreen tree is an excellent place for cultivation. It naturally belongs to the steward.”
Fang Xing saw that there were several wooden houses built under the lush canopy of the evergreen trees.
He thought for a moment and said, “I like quietness. I will leave this wooden house to you. I will find another place to live outside… Besides that, I will also tell you my rules.”
“Please give me some instructions, Steward…”
Meng Tiandong and the other two were delighted. You know, practicing under a thousand-year-old evergreen tree is a privilege for Taoist monks.
They had already been skirting the rules by getting a little bit of the land before, and they had never thought of occupying it for a long time.
I didn’t expect that the new manager would be so easy to talk to.
“I like planting trees, and I plan to plant evergreen trees all over the valley… But I hate deforestation the most. If I find out that you are stealing the saplings…”
Fang Xing narrowed his eyes.
“I dare not.”
Meng Tiandong and the other two quickly shook their heads. Yu Santian and Hua Qing complained in their hearts. They wondered why this medicine garden manager had such a weird hobby?
Aren’t there evergreen trees all over the mountains and valleys?
Still need to plant?
Fang Xing certainly ignored their complaints. He flew around the entire valley with the wind, then chose a spot and began to build his own cabin in the woods.
Although the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Tree could increase his cultivation speed a bit, he was now completely unable to rely on his own cultivation.
As long as you plant evergreen trees everywhere, no matter where you practice, it will be far better than any top-level evil spot.
Even if he left Poison Dragon Slope, the ten thousand acres of bamboo sea continued to provide him with support.
“However… after level 13, Druids’ advancement becomes even slower. I don’t know when I can break through to level 15 and obtain the [Eternal Body] talent…”
Fang Xing secretly sighed.
With his current life span, he could only outlive Yinshen Zhenjun. When he gets the talent of [Immortal Body], he could outlive Yangshen Zhenjun…
‘Not only that, at level 15, the Wild Transformation will also undergo a qualitative change, and can transform into a Qionglong… Qionglong, although a baby dragon, is still a dragon after all, and no longer a snake or python…’
“The Qionglong has transformed, so it should be able to fight the Yin God…”
‘In other words, a level 15 Druid is equivalent to a Yin God, so a level 20 Druid should be equivalent to a Yang God?’
While thinking, Fang Xing casually scattered the seeds of evergreen trees.
Then, under the talent of plant growth, the seedlings emerged from the ground and grew vigorously.
When he grew to a certain limit, he took a deep breath and his magic power surged.
The foundation of the road is lush and verdant!
Crash!
The evergreen trees grew taller again, like pillars, gradually filling the gaps and turning into tree walls…
Before long, a forest-style cabin gradually took shape…
