Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Second: Unrepentant Disaster
It turns out that Zhan Chen took a fancy to one of them: each servant can apply for half-year retreat every three years, and these retreat times can still be accumulated.
He then thought: I am now only one step away from Martial Lord, why not immediately apply for retreat to practice and break through Martial Lord in one fell swoop?
So, Zhan Chen immediately stood up and pushed the door open, not wanting to meet someone head-on.
That man only had the Dzogchen level of martial arts. When he saw Zhan Chen, he felt very friendly and greeted him: "This brother is a bit unfamiliar, I'm afraid he's just here."
Zhan Chen saluted him and said: I’m Zhan Chen, may I ask your brother’s name?
Hehe, why do you pay so much attention to etiquette? My name is Ma Shun, and I have been working as a medicine slave here for ten years.
Then I’ll call you Brother Ma Shun.
Okay, brother Zhan Chen.
When Zhan Chen saw that he recognized someone as soon as he went out, he had an idea and asked: By the way, Brother Ma Shun, I want to ask you something.
you say.
I want to apply for retreat, where should I go?
No way, brother, you want to retreat as soon as you come here
Why not? Zhan Chen asked anxiously.
Brother, you don’t know the worldly nature of this. Those who are new here should be familiar with each other and don’t stand out. The most important thing is to hang out quietly for three to five years, and then ask Director An for instructions.
Zhan Chen held up his hands and thanked him: "Thank you for the reminder, brother, but I thought in my heart, I don't have time to wait for three to five years. No matter how difficult it is, I will give it a try."
So, he went straight to Anru. After the ceremony, Anru asked: Zhan Chen, not long after we parted, why are you here again? Didn't you just say that there is no problem?
Zhan Chen raised his hands and said: Return to Chief An, I just read the instructions for Saintess' Peak that you gave me, and found out that there is an item in it to apply for retreat. Now my cultivation has been at the level of martial arts perfection for a long time. I only need to retreat once.
If you pass it, it can be done in one go. I hope the manager will give you permission.
What Zhan Chen said seemed reasonable. Breakthrough was the most important thing for a warrior, so Saintess Peak also gave servants this privilege.
However, Anru's face darkened at this time. Zhan Chen had to take a long leave every day since his arrival, which obviously did not give her face.
She was just about to refuse, but when she saw Zhan Chen looking at her calmly, she couldn't help but swallow the words that came to her lips, and changed her words: Zhan Chen, it's not good for you to ask for leave as soon as you come here, isn't it?
Manager Wang An can agree that Zhan Chen must insist on this point.
Anru had no choice but to say: Well, your situation is special, let me explain it to the saint.
Manager Xie Zhan Chen thanked her, but the triumphant look in Yin Meiru's eyes suddenly appeared in his heart, and he vaguely felt that his application might not be approved so easily.
After Anru waited for him to leave, she went to meet Yin Meiru and told her that Zhan Chen wanted to apply for seclusion, and carefully observed the saintly lady to see how she would react.
Zhan Chen wanted to apply for seclusion, Yin Meiru said in surprise.
Next, the hostess of the Saintess Peak showed a playful smile on her face and murmured: Just right, I felt bored when I came back recently, so I used him to have fun.
So she said to Anru: Go back and tell Zhan Chen to let him wait for a month. I want to assess whether he can fulfill his duties and take good care of my elixir, and then I will consider whether to approve his request.
.
It was Anru who retreated, but after turning around, her face also showed amusement. The saintly lady's attitude towards this Zhan Chen was indeed a bit special.
That night, Zhan Chen was summoned, and Anru told him Yin Meiru's answer.
After Zhan Chen stepped back, he muttered: It seems that Yin Meiru is not willing to let me practice in seclusion casually. The so-called inspection of the spiritual field is just an excuse to find fault with me. I must master and take care of those spiritual fields as soon as possible.
The method of medicine is to prevent her from finding fault
So the next day, Zhan Chen went to the spiritual field he was responsible for and began to observe. There were 1,300 fourth-grade elixirs planted in this field, and 100 fifth-grade elixirs. And each month
At the end of the month, the messenger from the palace will come here once to collect the mature elixirs and register them in a book.
The fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs are not only very precious, but also have a long growth cycle. Even under the excellent conditions of Saint Maiden Peak, it takes 5 years for a fourth-grade elixir to grow from seed to elixir.
, the fifth-grade elixir takes more than 10 years.
If they are moved to a normal growing environment, their growth cycle will be more than ten times longer than before.
This is the Xunlong Wood, a fourth-grade high-level wood-attribute elixir that requires watering from mountain springs 5 times a day. You must also regularly look for some ores rich in wood-type aura, and bury the sawdust under the soil to grow well.
That is Huoyaohua, a fifth-grade intermediate fire-attribute elixir. You can only water it once a week. Not only do you need to feed it more ores rich in fire-attribute aura, but you also need to use a heating spiritual array every day to increase the temperature around it.
, simulate the growth environment and temperature around the volcano.
Zhan Chen identified them one by one and adopted different cultivation methods. There were as many as 30 kinds of elixirs in this spiritual field, and each one adopted a different cultivation method.
From the time the sun rose in the morning until the sun set in the evening, Zhan Chen was busy in the fields. It was not until night fell that he barely finished the day's work.
He fell asleep from exhaustion as soon as he returned. The next day, he rushed to Lingtian early in the morning. After carefully exploring all the elixirs, he finally showed a happy smile. Everything was in good condition. This showed that
My efforts were not in vain.
So he worked hard again and threw himself into his new job. He had to perform well for at least a month, just so that the witch Yin Meiru would not find any faults.
Gradually, Zhan Chen became familiar with the work here, and his work efficiency improved significantly. When he had time, he visited other spiritual fields and asked for advice, and he actually mastered a lot of knowledge about elixirs.
When night fell that day, Zhan Chen returned to his dormitory, but he couldn't fall asleep. He couldn't help but take out the Yuzhai Alchemy Chapter, which he got in Zhenwu Secret Realm, and thought: I didn't expect that I would work as a medicine at Saintess' Peak.
In this stage of being a slave, there will be such gains.
The elixirs in Yin Meiru's medicine field are so abundant. If these elixirs can be used, most of the elixirs in this alchemy secret book can probably be refined. Don't expect anything else, as long as they are refined by me.
Preparing several of the fourth-grade metallic elixirs will definitely be of great help to the improvement of my cultivation.
It's a pity that the elixirs here cannot be used.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously took out the gray alchemy furnace from his Qiankun bag, picked up the Po Zhenzi, and continued to break the restrictions on it. Over the years, whenever he had time, he would take out the alchemy furnace.
They come here to mess around and kill time.
With his unremitting efforts, most of the restrictions on the alchemy furnace have been removed, but as long as the last restriction is not removed, the alchemy furnace will not reveal its true face in Lushan.
Time passed by day after day in this tense and fulfilling environment, and in the blink of an eye, the one-month period was here.
On this day, Yin Meiru actually led a group of people to the elixir field, euphemistically calling it inspection work, which caused waves of exclamations from the medicine slaves.
The Holy Lady actually came to our ordinary elixir field
Yes, Her Royal Highness the Saint usually only goes to her private medicine garden, but she didn’t expect to appear here.
In the fields, the medicine slaves were discussing one after another.
When they see Yin Meiru coming towards her with her entourage, the medicine slaves will stop what they are doing, look up at her obsessively, and shout feverishly: Long live the Holy Lady.
Facing the admiration of these low-class people, Yin Meiru would not even look at her. She always had only one goal, and that was Zhan Chen.
The group of people went straight to the acre of spiritual land that Zhan Chen was responsible for and stopped.
Zhan Chen had been waiting at the edge of the medicine field for a long time. He bowed to them and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the Holy Lady, Zhan Chen."
Yin Meiru glanced at him and saw that he was looking at her calmly, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: Huh, Zhan Chen, you gave me problems when you first came here, so I won't give you any advice today.
So she asked with a stern face: Zhan Chen, you told me last month that you wanted to apply for seclusion, is there such a thing?
Returning to the Holy Lady, this is indeed the case.
Humph, you are quite courageous. You want to be a thorn as soon as you come here.
I'll just follow the rules of Saintess' Peak. Zhan Chen answered in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
You Yin Meiru's expression suddenly changed, but Zhan Chen's answer was reasonable and reasonable. In the eyes of everyone, if you want to argue with this little drug slave willfully, it will damage your image.
Then there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes, and she said: Okay, I want to see how well you take care of my elixir.
Lord Saint, please take a closer look. Zhan Chen bowed again and said, he has already made up his mind.
So next, Yin Meiru led a group of followers and carefully inspected the elixirs in the Zhanchen field one by one. Although the nearby medicine slaves were curious, they did not dare to come forward and watch, so they had to work hard.
However, Yin Meiru became more and more depressed the more she checked, thinking: I never expected that Zhan Chen, a really talented and ordinary medicine slave, would be at a loss after working for a month, and it was inevitable that some mistakes would happen. But Zhan Chen has managed this place in an orderly manner. It seems that
It took a lot of hard work to get here.
She couldn't help but turn her head again and look at Zhan Chen's calm face, feeling angry again: No, I will never let this guy pass easily. This time, I must make him kneel at my feet completely.
Thinking of this, a stern look flashed in Yin Meiru's eyes, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a fiery red light streaked across a fifth-grade high-level elixir that was about to grow in front of her. The speed was so fast that it exceeded the reaction of everyone present.
The next moment, the elixir bent over and fell to the ground.
A glimmer of pride flashed in Yin Meiru's eyes, but she pretended to be distressed and shouted: What's wrong with this Silver Spoon Flower?
Anru, who was beside her, stepped forward and came to the Silver Spoon Flower to take a look, but she shouted: Holy Lady, it was broken by someone.
How could it be possible? Zhan Chen rushed forward in a hurry and looked at the elixir. His mind went blank. He remembered that the Silver Spoon Flower was still fine in the morning.
I heard Yin Meiru's sneer coming from behind: "Hey Zhanchen, do you have anything else to say?"
There was silence in the morning.
Yin Meiru asked Anru again: Anru, do you think how many yuan stones this silver spoon flower is worth?
To return to His Highness, you will need at least 300 high-grade Yuan Stones. Although Anru felt aggrieved by Zhan Chenming in her heart, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
Zhan Chen, if you can come up with 300 high-grade Yuan stones, I will let you go. At this time, the witch's pride has reached its extreme.
Zhan Chen murmured: I have no money.
Seeing Zhan Chen's devastated look, Yin Meiru's heart tightened for no reason, but she still said with a calm face: Take him to me and put him on death row.
