Chapter 30 The gardener also fought for

Next, Master Xuanxu announced a small matter, but this small matter was a big matter for Fu Lou.

It turns out that this is the case. The registered disciple who was taking care of Lingpu in the Alchemy Pavilion was over 80 years old, but he has not yet successfully built a foundation. He knew that there was no hope for the road of this life, so he planned to return to his hometown and requested to return to his hometown so as not to die of old age.

The head of Xuanxu felt sorry for his diligence and hard work throughout his life, so he allowed him to return to his hometown and gave him a large sum of gold and silver for returning home for retirement.

There are many disciples in the alchemy pavilion, but they are all busy practicing and refining alchemy. No disciple is willing to take over the care of Lingpu. Seeing this, Elder Bai had to ask the head for a disciple who was familiar with various spiritual herbs to take care of Lingpu.

The so-called care for the Lingpu is actually to be a gardener, watering, weeding, fertilizing the spiritual herbs in the Lingpu. Every month, according to Elder Bai’s requirements, we must regularly pick a large number of spiritual herbs needed in the Alchemy Pavilion.

Although not many disciples were willing to take care of Lingpu, they were not allowed to just send a single disciple to do it. Only disciples who are very familiar with various spiritual herbs can be competent for this. In history, most of the time, they have been experienced and hard-working registered disciples.

The head of Xuanxu announced this in public, hoping that a suitable disciple could volunteer to take care of Lingpu.

After the Master Xuanxu finished speaking, the hall seemed particularly quiet for a moment, and even if an embroidery needle fell off on the ground, I could hear it. Many new disciples looked at each other without saying a word. Perhaps no one among them knew spiritual herbs, or perhaps they were not willing to be gardeners and take care of the spiritual garden.

Furthermore, during this period, many new disciples knew very well that if they missed this batch of foundation-building pills, they would not know when the next batch would be. If they did not succeed in building foundations before the age of fifty, they would basically have no hope of entering the heavenly way. Therefore, they were all competing in secret and practicing Qi Refining Art every second. How could they waste their time on chores like gardeners?

Just when the Master Xuanxu's face was a little dark, Fu Lou walked up and bowed to Master Xuanxu, then tried to keep a calm mood and said, "Please allow the disciples to go to the Alchemy Pavilion to take care of the Lingpu."

In fact, when Fu Lou heard that the leader of Xuanxu said that Lingpu needed a gardener, he couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to volunteer. But he didn't dare for a moment. He was worried that the leader of Xuanxu would arrange for others to go. When he saw that many new disciples were unwilling to go, he could no longer bear it.

"You are about spiritual herbs..." Master Xuanxu hesitated to Fu Lou, as he seemed a little worried about whether Fu Lou could be competent for this matter.

"Please rest assured that my disciples have not been proficient in spiritual herbal knowledge over the years, but they have learned a lot. All they lack is on-site learning." Fu Lou said firmly.

Suddenly, strange eyes, curious eyes, and contemptuous eyes fell on Fu Lou. If the eyes were also light, then Fu Lou would be really shining.

In the eyes of most people, Fu Lou is extremely stupid to do this.

Some people also speculate that Fu Lou may have found a new path because he knew that there was no hope in this life. Because they all knew that Fu Lou's spiritual roots were very weak, so it was normal to have this idea.

"It's just something about the Sutra Library, you should..." Master Xuanxu asked back with some concerns.

"You have to report to the head of the sect, the three floors in front of the Sutra Library, which the disciple is responsible for, now there is nothing to do." Fu Lou felt a little anxious when he saw that the head of Xuanxu did not agree to him immediately, and he couldn't help but say something too much. It was because he was eager to go to the Lingyuan of the Alchemy Pavilion in order to further verify and improve the knowledge of elixirs he had learned.

Master Xuanxu looked at Fu Lou deeply, as if he wanted to see through him, but Fu Lou's expression remained firm.

After a few steps back and forth, the leader of Xuanxu turned to look at other new disciples. Seeing their relieved expressions, he felt a little conflicted. He not only hoped that the new disciples would work hard to practice, but also hoped that some of the inner disciples would be willing to take care of Lingpu, but he did not expect that only Fu Lou, the registered disciple, was willing to undertake this matter.

So he turned his face and said to Fu Lou: "Since that's the case, then from tomorrow, you go to the Alchemy Pavilion and follow Elder Bai's arrangements."

"Thank you... Thank you Master!" Fu Lou was a little excited and his words were trembling.

"Listen to Elder Ma, you have done a good job in the Sutra Library in the past few years." Master Xuanxu added.

"This is what the disciple should do, and he will definitely do his best to do what Elder Bai ordered." Fu Lou took the speech without being humble or arrogant.

When Master Xuanxu heard this, he smiled and stared at Fu Lou with encouraging eyes for a while.

In fact, if a sect wants to grow and grow, it must have a group of registered brothers engaged in miscellaneous affairs to make silent contributions.

As the head of a sect, he is often not the most highly cultivated sect, but he is the most prestige, the most coordinating, and the most courage to handle urgent matters. The head of Xuanxu has always been very concerned about those disciples who are diligent in sects to engage in miscellaneous affairs. Although these disciples cannot directly strengthen the sect, they are indispensable.

...

After returning to the Sutra Library, Fu Lou sent a notes to Elder Ma on the fifth floor, and reported to him the matter of the Xuanxu Master arranged for him to go to the Alchemy Pavilion to take care of the Lingpu. Elder Ma seemed to have known about this for a long time and agreed without saying a word, but he made a request.

Although there are very few disciples who come to study the classics on the three floors of the Sutra Library, Elder Ma still hopes that in addition to taking care of the Lingpu, Fulou can often take time to come to the Sutra Library to help organize the books. Fulou agreed immediately without thinking.

To be honest, Fu Lou is still very emotional about the Sutra Library, and is very happy to take the time to come here even if he just sits and reads, and organizes the books. It is because he has not only lived here for almost six years, but also has also obtained two martial arts books, "The Wuji Jue" and "The Yi Ling Sutra" here that can change his destiny.

Fu Lou couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought of going to Lingpu where the alchemy pavilion was going.

His understanding of various spiritual herbs has always been through words and pictures. Now he has the opportunity to take care of various spiritual herbs himself, of course he is undesirable. Besides, he has been studying alchemy techniques for so long, but he has never had the opportunity to try the alchemy. And after he arrived at the alchemy pavilion, he might have a chance.

The Alchemy Pavilion is about a hundred feet to the left of Zhenwu Hall, and is a seven-story stone pavilion.

The owner of the Alchemy Pavilion is Elder Bai.

Elder Bai’s full name is Bai Changqing. His beard is white, tall and thin, and he has a fairy-like style. Elder Bai is dedicated to studying alchemy techniques, and his cultivation is not very high. He only has the early stages of the Golden Elixir, but in the Immortal Sect, everyone has to flatter him.

After Fu Lou met Elder Bai on the first floor of the Alchemy Pavilion, Elder Bai ordered a middle-aged male disciple from the Alchemy Pavilion to take Fu Lou directly to Lingpu without waiting for him to visit the other floors of the Alchemy Pavilion.

The middle-aged male disciple, whose surname was Wang, looked very kind. He could have taken off to Lingpu directly, but when he saw that Fu Lou had a low cultivation level, he immediately took out the flying sword and took Fu Lou's sword control to fly away without saying a word.

After a while, the two of them came over a narrow valley behind Shenxian Mountain.

Fu Lou, who was floating in the air, looked at the green valley beneath his feet and couldn't help but murmured in secret: "Lingpu, I'm here!"

"There is sufficient water source and fertile soil. There is a copper puppet in the Lingpu, which will be responsible for watering, weeding and fertilizing." Senior Brother Wang introduced to Fulou: "There is a small house at the entrance of the valley, where Junior Brother Fu rests and stores spiritual herbs. At the end of each month, our cabinet will send people to get spiritual herbs. As for the list of spiritual herbs that Junior Brother wants to pick, someone will send you a message at the end of each month. I hope you will be familiar with this place as soon as possible."

Fu Lou bowed and replied, "Yes, Senior Brother Wang."

Before leaving, Senior Brother Wang handed Fu Lou a thin jade token. The jade token was used to open the protective formation of the Lingpu, and it was the same as the one he used when entering and exiting the Sutra Tower, regardless of style or size.

Lingpu looks not big, but it is very long. Although Fu Lou is walking very fast, he neither knows flying skills nor sword skills. He walks from Lingpu to the other end, and it takes a whole day to go back and forth.

The copper puppet in the Lingpu never felt tired, and did not need Fulou's command. Besides, Fulou didn't know how to command it. As soon as the sky was dawn, the copper puppet would start working, and it stopped automatically when it was dark. It was really magical.

Since Fu Lou came to Lingpu, he felt very free and fulfilled. Although he was very busy every day, he was so busy that he had very little time to practice Qi Refining Art.

Within a month after coming to Lingpu, Fu Lou compared the knowledge he learned and basically identified all the spiritual herbs here clearly.

Through this month of on-site study, he found that there are quite a lot of spiritual herbs in this Lingyuan. Although there are not all kinds of spiritual herbs here, some commonly used spiritual herbs are still quite complete, and even the auxiliary medicines for refining the Foundation Building Pill are all available.

In the world of cultivation, the formula of foundation-building pill has long been no secret. There is a formula of foundation-building pill in the "Xuanji Pill Sutra". It is only difficult to obtain the main medicines required to refine foundation-building pills, so the foundation-building pills appear to be extremely precious.

Although Fu Lou has a good grasp of elixir knowledge, he has little experience in the field. Therefore, he has hardly practiced Qi Refining Technique this month. He has been working hard for a whole month before he has prepared the large number of spiritual herbs listed on the list.

When picking spiritual herbs, he tried to pick them strictly according to the required years of the spiritual herbs on the list, and did not dare to slack off at all. Moreover, for each spiritual herb, he repeatedly compared them with what he learned, for fear of making mistakes. Even at night, he had to sort out the spiritual herbs picked during the day in different categories.

Fu Lou did this because he has always been rigorous and responsible in his work, and secondly, he did not want to be kicked out of Lingpu by Elder Bai because of a mistake.
