"Taking over a Qingshiling Hundred Medicine Garden, a specified amount of rare medicinal materials must be handed over every year."
Seeing the golden lacquer characters on the bamboo slips, Han Li was overjoyed. So he pointed at the bamboo slips, raised his head and said to Deacon Yu, "I like this job quite a bit, can Senior Brother Yu introduce one or two?"
After listening to Han Li's words, Deacon Yu approached with a smile. But when he saw clearly the job Han Li had chosen, the smirk on his face immediately turned into a wry smile.
"Junior brother, let's change to another job. The task of taking over the garden is too difficult. It is not suitable for junior brother to do it!" Deacon Yu said sincerely, but seeing that Han Li was a little puzzled, he went on to explain : "Since this task was placed here a few years ago, many people have taken it, but every disciple has messed up. Not only did they not get rewards, but they were all fined a lot of spirit stones. This is one of the most difficult jobs here. In addition, I am not afraid of Brother Han's jokes, and every year I let those brothers get a lottery, so that this job can be forced out!"
After hearing these words, Han Li felt a little amused in his heart, but he also muttered. But I still don't intend to give up, so I am very humbly asking for advice: "Brother, can you tell me what is so difficult about this job? Why are so many brothers not done? Isn't it just to manage the herbs in the garden! is it hard?"
"Could it be that my nephew chose Brother Ma's mission in the medicine garden?" After listening to the conversation between the two, the old man surnamed Ye frowned before waiting for the middle-aged deacon to answer, and interjected first.
"Isn't that right! Junior Brother Han just took a fancy to Uncle Ma's super difficult job." The middle-aged deacon looked dumbfounded.
After the old man heard the words, he also turned into a smile that was not a smile.
"Haha! Nephew Han is really good at picking! He even took a fancy to the most troublesome job here. However, this job is really a headache. Several people who were forced to take this job have already complained to me. But because Brother Ma refused to easily change the reward and punishment conditions, I have nothing to do! If Nephew Han wants to know the details of this work, he can follow me to the inner hall to look at the relevant files. It's much better to say it!" For some reason, Hall Master Ye of Baiji Hall showed a very generous look to Han Li, and opened the door for him.
Han Li frowned secretly, this Master Ye must be too enthusiastic! Although I gave up the Foundation Establishment Pill to the other party, it seemed to be an equal deal on the surface, so it wouldn't make this person so affectionate to me
Repressing doubts in his heart, Han Li acted flattered, and followed the old man who had received the bamboo slips into a certain room behind the main hall. This room was full of various files.
The old man picked up the bamboo slip in the room and waved it lightly, then a blue light flashed on the slip, and a scroll automatically flew into his hand, and then he turned around and handed the scroll to Han Li.
Now that things have come to this point, Han Li took the scroll unceremoniously, unfolded it swiftly, and took a closer look.
The content of the scroll is not long, it only records the self-reported experience of the previous disciples who took over the medicine garden, and the reasons for their failure. So Han Li read it very quickly, and in a short time, he understood the content and difficulties of this job at all levels.
"How about it? Let's change to another task! Although the reward for this task is very generous, it is indeed not something that ordinary disciples can complete." This Master Ye said with a look of concern.
After hearing this, Han Li pondered for a while, then shook his head resolutely and said, "Thank you, Master Ye! But this job suits my taste, so I don't need to change to other tasks, I just choose it!"
The old man was a little stunned when he heard the determination in Han Li's words, but he nodded in agreement without saying anything else. But he didn't take Han Li out of the room immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and said something unnaturally.
"Mr. Nephew Han, last time we did the Foundation Establishment Pill transaction, can we postpone the delivery of some of the items that were traded? Uncle, I am about to refine a batch of Heqi Pills recently. I am really tight on hand, so I am afraid it is not convenient. But nephew, don't worry, as long as a year or so later, uncle will pay off all the owed items."
When Han Li heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, but immediately laughed.
"What did Uncle Ye say? Since Uncle Ye is inconvenient, then you can give as much as you can, why bother to mention something that will be paid back later, this is the younger generation's filial piety to Uncle!"
Han Li felt that the current self was hypocritical to the extreme. Mingming was extremely depressed and hated the other party's breaking the contract, but he still had to smile and say something to make the other party happy. This is probably the tragedy of being weak! He thought bitterly.
"What do you mean by nephew! Do you think this old man is the kind of person who regrets his promise and does not keep his word? What I promise will never be less than nephew and nephew." After hearing Han Li's words, the old man surnamed Ye not only I wasn't happy, but instead I put on a hard face, showing an expression that I am a gentleman and would never do such a villainous thing.
Han Li was barely able to maintain his smile, but after hearing this, he was so angry that he almost collapsed!
This elder is too thick-skinned. He clearly intends to repent most of his belongings, but he still insists on making a very upright and trustworthy fake face. He is really a typical hypocrite!
Han Li couldn't bear it in his heart, and kept cursing secretly. But the smile on his face only lagged a little bit, and he naturally put on a sincere expression, and continued in a tone that he felt nasty: "Master Ye wrongly blamed this junior! In fact, my nephew felt that I had just entered In this sect, these things are too extravagant for the juniors. Therefore, most of the items should be placed with the uncle for the time being, and the juniors will not need them at all for the time being."
After hearing Han Li's duplicity, the expression of the old man surnamed Ye eased, and he slightly nodded and said: "Mr. Your practice will be greatly hindered! Then do as you said, and leave some of the items here with me temporarily, and come and get them if you need them in the future!"
"Then there will be Master Lao Ye!" Han Liqiang smiled, but he comforted himself over and over again in his heart. These are just belongings outside of the body, so I can't afford to offend the old man in front of me now! When there is a chance in the future, I will ask for all the profits.
"Haha, it's nothing! Let's go out!" The old man seemed to be in a better mood.
And the next thing is much easier to handle. With the assistance of Master Ye, Han Li went through all the formalities very smoothly, and got the jade badge representing taking over the job. Then, under the enthusiastic leadership of the deacon, he set off for the Hundred Medicine Garden in Jinheling.
The old man surnamed Ye stood at the entrance of Baiji Hall, watching Han Li's figure flying away, his face became gloomy, and he remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
"Is Junior Brother Ye a bit soft-hearted?" A deep voice suddenly came from behind him.
"It's not a matter of being soft-hearted, but it's just that it seems a little inappropriate to use such a method to deal with a disciple who has just started. And will this nephew Han say one thing on the surface, but secretly say another thing?" Go and report this to the head!" The old man said without turning his head, but there was a hint of worry in his words.
"Hey, report?" The person behind him sneered.
"Why, isn't senior brother Wu worried?" The old man surnamed Ye finally turned around and said to the gloomy senior brother Wu behind him.
"There's nothing to worry about! Didn't this kid consciously follow our pre-arranged arrangement and say he left the item with you? It's not like he said he wouldn't return it, but he just kept it temporarily! What's there for him to report on? ?” Senior Brother Wu said confidently.
"However, I really appreciate this kid! It's not easy to know how to advance and retreat at such a young age! If it wasn't for his poor aptitude and the body of a pseudo-spiritual root, I really want to take him into my sect! "Senior Brother Wu continued, with a look of regret on his face.
"It's also fortunate that this person is not a dead-headed person, otherwise he would have to use another method, which would be much more troublesome!" The old man surnamed Ye said slowly.
"Okay, this kid has nothing to worry about! You and I squeezed him to death like an ant. But Junior Brother Ye doesn't need to spend a lot of money this time, so don't forget what we said in advance!" Senior Brother Wu Suddenly the subject changed, and the words had other meanings.
"I won't forget, you will share half of the Aiki Pills released this time. Cough! To be honest, if my nephew didn't need a large amount of precious pills to assist in the foundation building process, I really wouldn't be thick Don't be ashamed to ignore these things of the younger generation!" The old man surnamed Ye shook his head lightly, looking desperate for his late festival.
The old man surnamed Wu heard this, but he smiled and said nothing, and thought in his heart very proudly: "Since Junior Brother Ye has done such a despicable thing, it can be considered that he has a clue in his hands, don't worry The other party will not favor me in future discussions."
