Chapter Thirty-Four: The Ironwood Cutting Task of Twenty Merits
Inside the main hall of Alchemy Peak.
Xu Zhaozheng sat at the top with a frown.
There were several elders standing in the hall. At this time, these elders had their heads buried and did not dare to speak.
"Why didn't you tell me this before?"
After a long silence, Xu Zhao asked.
"At that time, we thought that Pojun Peak would not be able to handle it first, so..."
An elder opened his mouth to explain.
"But what about now?" Xu Zhao looked at the elder who spoke, a little helpless, "Now our Alchemy Peak can no longer bear it. The disciples can't even refine half of the share that will be handed over to the sect this month.
Do you know what the impact will be if the sect’s elixir storage is insufficient?”
"Know."
The elder who spoke earlier said in a low voice.
"Forget it, you go down first. In the past few days, all the elders have gone to Ironwood Forest to cut down trees for me, and asked all the disciples to come back to make elixirs. They can pay as much as they can this month..."
Xu Zhao waved helplessly.
"Follow the Lord's order."
Several elders also knew that the matter was serious, so they turned around and left after clasping their fists and saluting.
But there was only bitterness in their hearts.
How could they not organize the elders to go to the Ironwood Forest to cut down trees?
But even the elder Jindan's body is not as good as the foundation-building physical cultivation. Even if he takes medicine and chops down trees, he cannot be used by his disciples.
"Ask a few disciples to go to the Hall of Merit to increase the merit points of the mission to ten, and see if we can attract some people to help."
The leading elder looked at the people behind him and said.
"Then shall we go to Ironwood Forest?"
An elder hesitated and said.
"Try your best. The peak master also said, pay as much as you can."
The leader of the elders said helplessly, then stepped on the sword light and left first.
Not long after, several sword lights flew into the iron wood forest from the Alchemy Peak.
…
On the Merit Peak, inside the Merit Hall.
Everything seemed to be normal, there were a lot of people, everyone was looking at the tasks.
"I've only been in seclusion for a year, how come the merit points for cutting down five-day ironwood have increased to twenty points?"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice.
"Senior brother, you don't know something. In the past few months, the people at Pojun Peak have begun to refuse to accept entrusted tasks. The tasks of chopping iron wood were all issued by the disciples at Alchemy Peak."
Someone opened his mouth to explain.
"Then the merit of this mission is already so high, why haven't any of my colleagues accepted it yet?"
The person who had exclaimed before looked at the person who spoke in confusion.
"Haha, about this question, senior brother, maybe you can ask the sword cultivators at Qisha Peak."
When the man heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Many people on the side heard the exchange between the two, and they all thought of happy things and couldn't help laughing.
However, the laughter stimulated the innocent Seven Kills Peak sword cultivators on the side.
"What do you know? We sword cultivators, standing between heaven and earth, how can we succumb to some meritorious deeds and let the spiritual sword be covered in dust!"
A sword cultivator spoke angrily.
"Really? Why do I remember that you sword cultivators were the only ones who took on these tasks in large numbers in the past two months?"
A voice sounded from the crowd.
"That's why we want to use the strength of iron and wood to hone the heart of the sword..."
The sword cultivator who opened the mouth saw all the eyes looking at him with amusement, and said harshly while holding his neck.
"Haha, right? Then why did you stop at the foot of Alchemy Peak and scold others after completing your mission?"
Someone else joked.
Hearing this, the swordsman fled out of the Hall of Merit with a red face.
He was still muttering something like "Sword Cultivator" is asking about swordsmanship, how can it be called cursing, and so on.
"Is it difficult?" The senior brother who had just come out of retreat at the Formation Peak touched his chin, somewhat puzzled.
"It's not difficult, it's just that there are specialties in the art. Brother, don't you know that all the elders at Alchemy Peak are cutting down trees in the Ironwood Forest..."
The person who had opened his mouth to explain before spoke again.
"Oh, since there are no missions related to formations now, I will take this mission to see the excitement." Senior Brother Formation Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly accepted the mission, wanting to see the scene of the elders chopping down trees.
.
"Senior brother, wait a minute..."
After all, the man was too slow to speak. Seeing that this senior brother had taken over the task so quickly, he couldn't help but clasp his fists and wish this senior brother a blessed life.
"Junior brother, don't worry. I am now a golden elixir monk and a mere iron wood. What difficulties can I have?"
Senior Brother Zhenfa Feng said goodbye to that junior brother with a smile and turned to leave.
After hearing his words, a certain Jindan sword cultivator in the crowd looked at the dying spirit sword lying quietly in his spiritual sea and sighed silently.
He had this idea at the beginning.
In the end, all the spiritual swords had their curled blades cut off, and then the mission could be completed.
It has been a month and a half now, and he still hasn't accumulated enough merit to repair the spiritual sword.
The screen changes and you can see the military peak again.
In the newly built Pojunfeng Trade Union Building, after Lu Li listened to the information obtained by Senior Brother Kong Chen, under the gaze of Meng Xiu and others, he pondered for a moment before shaking his head.
"Junior Brother Lu, now the merit points for felling ironwood have been increased to 20 points. Can't you still accept the mission?"
Seeing Lu Li shaking his head, Meng Xiu asked in confusion.
"Senior Brother Meng, you have only seen the present, but you have ignored one thing."
Hearing this, Lu Li looked at Meng Xiu and explained: "Although the merit points for felling iron wood have been increased to twenty points, this is based on the lack of iron wood in Alchemy Peak. Once we blindly accept the task, what will happen to Alchemy Peak?"
With more iron and wood storage, do you think we can still achieve such feats?"
"Then according to Junior Brother Lu, what do we need to do now?"
Liang Tian, who was obviously a physical practitioner but looked like a scholar, gently shook his half-open folding fan and asked slowly.
"In the recent period, five senior brothers may be needed to help appease the other senior brothers. The rest can be left to me and senior brother Kong Chen."
When Lu Li heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, he glanced at the confused Kong Chen, and said.
"Appease other people? Appease what?"
Xiong Hu scratched his head and said in confusion.
"It won't be long before other senior brothers will know that the merit points for chopping iron wood have increased to twenty points. At this time, you need to appease them and prohibit anyone from taking over the task in Pojun Peak. As long as you survive this period, you will be able to do it later.
But after all the hard work, the joy comes.”
Lu Li looked at the many Pojunfeng brothers who were competing not far away and explained.
"You can get twenty merit points by chopping iron wood for five days. Wouldn't our other disciples in Senluo Mountain accept such a high mission reward?"
Xiong Hu spoke again, with a hint of worry in his words.
"Yes, but what I want is for them to pick me up."
Lu Li smiled and said, "And according to my speculation, I am afraid that within three days at most, the task of cutting down ironwood for these twenty meritorious deeds will be doubled. By then, the entire Senluo Mountain, except for our Pojun Peak and the Tenth Peak, will be
There are disciples to take over this mission."
"How did junior brother guess this result?" Kong Chen asked in confusion after hearing this.
"Senior Brother Kong Chen, has he forgotten that Alchemy Peak needs to hand over a certain share of elixirs to the sect every month for resource distribution?"
Lu Li stood up and looked at the people present, with a confident smile on his face.
"Junior brother heard that many people in Alchemy Peak have not started refining alchemy for a month. At this time, Alchemy Peak has doubled the merits of the Iron Wood mission. It seems that it is already time to hand in the elixir, so I started to get anxious.
.”
"Then what if the resources provided by the sect are reduced due to insufficient elixirs?" Meng Xiu asked doubtfully.
"What junior brother wants is this effect. Only if we let everyone in Senluo Mountain know that we, Pojun Peak, are an indispensable part of Senluo Mountain, will they take us seriously and be willing to contribute to the mission.
Adjust to normal levels.”
Lu Li smiled confidently.
His plan is to seize the most important lifeline and resources of the practicing sect!
If there are no cultivation resources, the first person to panic will not be the sect leader or the elders, but the disciples below.
As long as they grasp this degree, Senluoshan's senior management will not blame Lu Li and others for their actions, but will be happy to see such a situation.
After all, people who can cultivate to that level, even if they are as good as Yan Yan, can see the unequal treatment suffered by Po Junfeng.
If this continues for a long time, problems are bound to arise!
