Farming in the Immortal Mansion

Chapter 23: Retreat in the Bamboo House, Ghosts Are Still Around



The small wooden house in Xingxing Cliff in the Immortal Mansion has the effect of storing spiritual objects and will last forever. Ye Ling has stored these top-quality spiritual herbs so that they will not wither. When you need to use them, you can take them out as if they were just picked from the spiritual field. Just as fresh.

After everything was stored, Ye Ling's mind exited the Xianfu Jade Pendant.

At this time, dawn broke in the east and the sky was dim. Ye Ling looked around at the Nangu Medicine Garden and saw that most of the area had not been harvested, so he had to wait until night!

Ye Ling returned to Nangu Bamboo House. This place is located in the spiritual veins and has sufficient spiritual energy, which is even richer than the spiritual energy in his cave!

This is because most of the sect's spiritual fields and medicine gardens are opened on spiritual veins. Otherwise, the field power is insufficient to cultivate many spiritual herbs.

In addition, there are endless spiritual herbs planted in the medicine garden, emitting all kinds of spiritual energy, which makes Ye Ling feel relaxed and happy. It is indeed a good place for cultivation!

Ye Ling sat cross-legged and meditated, swallowed a Ruyi Zhuanshen Pill, and practiced daily. The pill tempered the body, strengthened the body, and at the same time slowly restored the mind.

It was still dark, and Sun Erhu followed Ye Ling's instructions yesterday and brought ten outer disciples early to serve Senior Brother Ye.

Sun Erhu walked in front and saw Ye Ling concentrating on practicing in the bamboo house from a distance.

He quickly waved his hand to stop the ten outer disciples behind him, and lowered his voice and said: "Senior Brother Ye is the direct disciple of the sect master, and his status is extraordinary! You and I must not disturb Senior Brother Ye's meditation. We will just wait quietly."

The ten newly selected outer sect disciples quickly nodded in agreement and stood by the roadside, respectfully waiting for Senior Brother Ye to speak.

After all, Ye Ling is a monk in the middle stage of Qi training, and his consciousness and senses are much stronger than them! He had already sensed the arrival of these people. Ye Ling opened his eyes like cold stars and glanced at these people coldly. Seeing that they were all newly acquired outer disciples of the first and second levels of qi training, and none of them were familiar faces, Ye Ling nodded with satisfaction.

Sun Erhu was very discerning, so he trotted over, respectfully bowed his fists to Senior Brother Ye, and reported: "Reporting to Senior Brother Ye, I have fulfilled my mission and went to the Outer Deacon Hall early in the morning to select ten hard-working people. Hard-working outer disciple, please take a look at them to see if they are suitable. If Senior Brother Ye doesn’t like them, I can change them at any time.”

Ye Ling's original intention was to get strangers in exchange, and he didn't care about their hard work or clumsiness. He nodded and said: "Well, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, so be it!"

The new outer disciples were overjoyed. Working in the Nangu Medicine Garden, they could earn several times more spiritual stones than elsewhere! Everyone looked at Senior Brother Ye with eager eyes. The Senior Brother who was once the top leader in the outer sect competition was now becoming taller and taller in their eyes.

Sun Erhu signaled: "Why don't you thank Senior Brother Ye quickly!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ye, for taking me in!"

"I will work hard to take good care of the sect leader's medicine garden and ensure that Senior Brother Ye is satisfied."

"Yes, yes! Whatever assignments Senior Brother Ye will have in the future, no matter what the wind or rain, there will never be a single complaint!"

Ye Ling stopped them and said calmly: "Okay! You ten will have to work hard with Senior Brother Sun Erhu from now on. Water when it's time to water, weed when it's time to hoe, and cut and clean up those dead branches and leaves at any time. Lose."

Having said this, Ye Ling curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled secretly in his heart. According to the usual practice, there is no need to clean up dead branches and leaves. This is a rule set by him! The purpose is to make everyone confused about who cleans the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden!

Ye Ling then said: "During this month, Nangu Bamboo House will be my place of meditation. No one is allowed to disturb my meditation without my instructions, do you understand?"

"clear!"

"We will obey Senior Brother Ye's orders!"

Sun Erhu also nodded and bowed and said with an apologetic smile: "I will bear this in mind, my subordinates! Please listen carefully. The Nangu Bamboo House is divided into forbidden areas. No one can step in without Senior Brother Ye's summons!"

Ye Ling ordered Sun Erhu to assign them to work in various spiritual fields, and then left him alone and asked: "When you went to the outer deacon hall, did you see Li Bao, the chief disciple of the outer deacon?"

Since the Outer Disciple Competition, Ye Ling has not only studied the herbal illustrations and practiced in seclusion, but also went to the depths of the Changxi wilderness to practice. He has not seen Li Bao for a few days. Of course, in Ye Ling's view, no news is good news. Li Bao did not take the initiative to come to him, which meant that the old fox, Zhou Chong, the elder of the Foundation Establishment, did not dare to act rashly against him.

Sun Erhu is a natural gab and loves to inquire about gossip so that he can show off in front of everyone. Now when Senior Brother Ye asked, it was the use of his expertise that gave him a good opportunity to show off. Sun Erhu hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Ye, don't you know yet? Li Bao has stopped taking care of the outer sect for a long time! Since the time when the outer sect was big Comparatively, Li Bao was defeated by Senior Brother Ye, and was later accepted as a direct disciple by Elder Zhou. Hehe, he has a bright future! "

"Elder Zhou? Is this Master Zhou Chong?" Ye Linghan's star-like eyes flashed with coldness, and then it passed away. Sun Erhu did not notice it, but instead respectfully called Master Zhou Chong. .

Sun Erhu said sourly: "It's not who he is! I heard that Elder Zhou has promised Li Bao that as long as Li Bao reaches the late stage of Qi training, he will recommend him to the Tiandan Immortal Sect! Brother Ye, think about it, what a blessing this is! We Yaogu Sect disciples will only have the opportunity to join the Immortal Sect after we hope to establish a foundation in this life. It's a good thing that Li Bao has a good backer, because Elder Zhou turns out to be a second-generation disciple of the Immortal Sect and a member of the sect. After being an elder in our Yaogu Sect for several years, it became much easier for Li Bao to join the Immortal Sect."

Ye Ling's expression became solemn. He was not jealous of Li Bao's good fortune, but was trying to figure out the deep meaning of Zhou Chong, the old fox, in promoting Li Bao!

"Why did Zhou Chong, the old thief, cultivate Li Bao? It's definitely not because he saw Li Bao's spiritual roots and talents. I'm afraid he is most likely targeting me! Could it be that after the passage of time, Zhou Chong still can't forget the incident of the treasure light from the sky?"

Ye Ling pondered for a moment, thinking that Li Bao, the fool, might have been fooled by Zhou Chong.

Thinking of this, Ye Ling immediately became alert! He ordered: "Sun Erhu, go and quietly invite Li Bao to come for me! Just say that Ye has not visited for many days, and today he specially invites him to visit the Nangu Medicine Garden."

Ye Ling made up a reason casually. In short, no matter what the reason was, Li Bao dared not not come when he heard the master's call!

Sun Erhu misunderstood, thinking that Senior Brother Ye heard that Li Bao had a chance to join the immortal sect soon, and wanted to win him over.

"By the way, after informing Li Bao, go to Fengqiao Town and find out some interesting and valuable information."

Ye Ling gave another casual instruction. He really wanted to know how much of a commotion the death of the young leader of the Southern Saint Sect had caused around Fengqiao Town! In particular, would the old leader Tang Xiong, who was at the ninth level of the foundation building, investigate the matter in detail? Would he get a clue from the casual cultivator who escaped yesterday? These were all what Ye Ling was concerned about.

But the matter was in the spotlight, and Ye Ling could not go out and show up, so he sent Sun Erhu to inquire.

Sun Erhu was slightly startled, and asked awkwardly: "Brother Ye, what interesting and valuable news do you mean? Is it about the female cultivators of Fengchi Sect, or the beauties in Fengqiao Town? These subordinates are familiar with them!"

"Bah!" Ye Ling was both angry and amused. He frowned and scolded Sun Erhu, and said coldly: "What I care about is what big disturbances are there around Fengqiao Town? Where are the natural treasures coming to the world? Which big chamber of commerce is holding an auction, and which medicine store has a new batch of rare spiritual herbs? This is the direction you want to inquire! Do you understand?"

"Understand! Understand! I understand, I will go now!"

Sun Erhu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and once again patted the horse's leg and sent it to the horse's leg. He could only admit that he was unlucky. After Sun Erhu responded, he left the Nangu Medicine Garden in a dejected manner and went to do things according to Brother Ye's instructions.

Ye Ling continued to meditate in the bamboo house. Before noon, a skinny and wretched figure hurried over and stood quietly in front of Ye Ling.

Li Bao was afraid that outsiders would notice, so he sent a telepathic message to Ye Ling and asked weakly, "Master, what's the important matter that you called me here for?"

Ye Ling sneered, "I heard that old guy Zhou Chong promised you a lot of benefits? Is that true?"

Li Bao was terrified, his legs trembled with fear, and he swore and defended himself, "It is true! But in Li Bao's mind, there is only the word master! I dare not do anything to betray the master. I was forced to worship Zhou Chong as my master, but I secretly protected the master and dealt with a lot of troubles for the master. The world can bear witness to this!"

Li Bao desperately showed his loyalty, knowing that his soul and blood were in the hands of the master. As long as the master had a thought, his soul would completely dissipate with the disappearance of his soul and blood!

Seeing that his expression was not fake, Ye Ling nodded and said, "You are a smart man, you should know that betrayal means death! On one side is the benefit Zhou Chong promised you, and on the other side is your life. You should weigh it yourself."

Li Bao hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Master, calm down. What I said is true. I dare not joke with my life. No matter how my damn master coerces and tempts, I always pretend to obey and never do anything that is not good for the master."

"Get up! There are other outer disciples in Nangu. Be careful not to be noticed by others and let the old thief Zhou Chong hear it. You must be more careful in everything in the future!"

Li Bao was startled when he heard this, and immediately stood up straight. It was not easy for him to pretend to be natural.

Ye Ling asked him about the situation of the old thief Zhou Chong in recent days, and Li Bao told him everything.

It turned out that during Ye Ling's retreat, the foundation-building elder Zhou Chong had sent Li Bao to Ye Ling's cave residence more than once to investigate and monitor him, but Li Bao was just pretending and going through the motions. Even when Ye Ling was training in the Changxi wilderness, Zhou Chong had taken care of Li Bao and ordered him to keep an eye on Ye Ling's movements, but Li Bao made up a bunch of lies and fooled him.
