Chapter 60 - Taking Care of Spiritual Plants (3)
The Martial Aunts were not only possessed well-fed bodies, but they were also tall and sturdy. Yue Qianchou felt inferior as a man, he could only heave a sigh.
After asking Fu Rong, He learned that these people were some of those who had only reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Since they have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the trial of Immortal-Enchanting Island had been avoided. After quite some time, their growth had stagnated and they've been judged for having no bright future in their cultivation. Therefore, they have been assigned to this kind of lowest level work.
Looking at the crowd in front of him that was busily picking up the excrement. Yue Qianchou could only stand still. As a man, he was embarrassed to join and snatch their business.
Fu Rong shrank behind him, she also didn't plant to snatch from them.
After waiting for a long time, the crowd was almost completely dispelled. Yue Qianchou walked over to the edge of the pit then his face twitched, the pit was dry. The two people visited several other pits and they got the same result.
This ugly Martial Aunt was weak, not to mention she was timid, without snatching from those Martial Aunts, he really didn't know how she completed the fertilization task. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but ask, "Martial Aunt Fu Rong, the fertilizer is not enough. It's also difficult to get from here, how did you accomplish your daily task?"
Fu Rong murmured, "You don't need to apply the fertilizer every day. It's enough to do it once every three days, doing it too often won't be good for the spiritual plants. I have always come here before the dawn." She told Yue Qianchou this thinking that he was the kind of man that could definitely snatch some from those aunts, who knew that Yue Qianchou was equally felt embarrassed to snatch that thing.
Yue Qianchou silently imagined a scene of the thin woman touched and picked up a large amount of excrement in the darkness.
In fact, he would like to ask, Foundation Establishment cultivators would be able to ride the flying sword, why not using it? However, he thought about it once more, if everyone carried a large excrement riding the flying sword, the scene would be spectacular, it would certainly provoke anger and the elders of the Immortal-Enchanting Island wouldn't agree.
Since the task was to do it once every three days, it didn't matter if they couldn't be able to do it right now.
The two carried the empty buckets and shovel away. At the foot of the hill along the small stream, Fu Rong took care of the tools, the two pairs of thin hands washed the tools delicately and thoroughly.
Although this girl wore worn-out clothes and didn't put any cosmetics, she was diligent and took a good care of her cleanliness. Putting in Yue Qianchou's words, throwing the trash to the cliff just to end up with another trash.
Returning to the Mulberry Garden, Yue Qianchou discovered a problem, he had no place to live in.
The faint anger in his heart manifested but only to gradually calmed down after he saw Fu Rong's dwelling.
Inside the dwelling of his fellow spiritual plants caretaker, it only consisted of a single room, there was a pile of sundries. A bench was built out of two wooden planks and two wooden blocks, this was Fu Rong's bed.
Looking at this narrow and small dwelling, Yue Qianchou couldn't seem to believe it, the price of housing in the past life could be said to be tremendous and many people couldn't afford it, does that phenomenon also exist in this cultivation world? This is beyond imagination! But other disciples of Immortal-Enchanting Island are not like this! Even the worst Ling Feng's group of three in the Alchemy Pavilion had a dwelling with a small courtyard, this Mulberry Garden should also have a lot of empty rooms ah!
This ugly Martial Aunt should have a story that he didn't know. Everything led that she was being abused. People of the past life said that you need money to own a house, here apparently that if you're ugly, you wouldn't be given a house!
When Fu Rong returned to this place, she seemed to be quite relaxed, not so tense compared when she was outside. She told Yue Qianchou contentedly that she was five or six years old when she started living here and it's been 15 years, this dwelling was a peace for her.
Her talent in cultivation is actually quite good. In just about a dozen of years she already reached Foundation Establishment stage. This is also a rare achievement in cultivation field. However, who did she offend when she was young? Otherwise, she won't be treated like this! This doesn't make sense! A five-year-old child, so small how could she offend anybody? Who would care about a little kid?
As Yue Qianchou was in doubt, Fu Rong had already begun the clean up the room. She pushed her bed to the side and took out some wooden planks and wooden blocks from the pile of sundries, she built a bed out of it on the other empty side.
After setting and cleaning up the new lousy bed, she pulled the bedding from the old bed to draw a line between the two beds, the meaning was to split for the man and woman area. Finally, Fu Rong embarrassedly told him to put up with her here.
This kind of hospitality? Looking at her expression, this kind of bed seemed already good for her, Yue Qianchou was really doubting whether she had seen the living place of the other disciples. However, she was really confident about her appearance. She was aware that she was in a room with another man but she didn't fear that the man would indecently assault her.
That night, Yue Qianchou didn't make any animal move, he didn't even have a shred of that idea. He asked Fu Rong many questions in a roundabout way, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the Mulberry Garden and its people. The result was equal to not asking at all, Fu Rong knew almost nothing. Yue Qianchou decided to just fall asleep.
Before the dawn, the two people dragged their feet down the hill. Fortunately, there was a moonlight from the sky. Combined with their cultivation, their vision was better than ordinary people. Otherwise, it would be a dangerous thing to trek down the hill. Their goal was naturally the women's toilets.
Sure enough, Yue Qianchou rushed back to the hill while carrying his buckets of excrement, he poured down his harvest into his designated site and quickly trek down the hill again, he took about an hour running back and forth. After quite some time, the sky had brightened. In the end, he did a full four laps, it was a quite good result.
Yue Qianchou found that 'stealing' the dung from the women's toilets in the middle of the night was very exciting and gave a sense of accomplishment. He would never have thought to have this kind of day. If his subordinates of the past lives were to discover that their boss did this, how would they react?
The two people successfully completed their work with a good cooperation, the distance between them gradually narrowed.
In the next few days, Yue Qianchou was pleasantly surprised to find that Fu Rong seemed to have an extreme interest in spiritual plants apart from anything else, as long as it was about spiritual plants, she would answer any of Yue Qianchou's questions. She could even explain it clearly regarding any of the spiritual plants in the Immortal-Enchanting Island, be it the location and the various habits.
This ugly girl unexpectedly possessed this kind of knowledge, it was a good news, Yue Qianchou was very pleased.
During the last few days, Yue Qianchou saw several familiar spiritual plants in the Mulberry Garden. Those were the kind of spiritual plants needed for the Foundation Establishment pill according to the pill formula. His heart pounded uncontrollably. for quite some time.
A bold plan was formed in the heart, to find a way to collect the spiritual plants seeds needed and plant those inside the golden bead space, with the wonderful effect of the purple chaos, he believed it wouldn't be long before he could produce a large number of spiritual plants needed for the refinement of the Foundation Establishment pills. With abundant spiritual plants, he could practice alchemy by himself through trial and errors.
What made Yue Qianchou discouraged was, after carefully searched the whole Mulberry Garden for a few days, he could only find five kinds of the spiritual plants needed, missing the four others. The only other way was to wait for the Foundation Establishment pills distribution that would happen once every three years.
Who knew that after looking high and low till the iron shoes were worn out but still to no avail, he chanced upon it without ever looking. Yue Qianchou tried asking the ugly girl next to him and she actually knew where to find the other four spiritual plants in the Myriad Fragrant Garden. It was a good news, although he didn't even question how he could obtain it. In his consciousness, there was nothing he couldn't get as long as he wanted and knew where to get it.
