“Those three are our Spirit Plant Departnt’s Director, Deputy Director, and Inspector.”
“The one on the left is Brother Liu Guilong, and the one on the right is Brother Li Li.”
After sitting down, Lu Jun introduced them to Chen Mobai through a voice transmission spell.
“Director, although I failed in Foundation Establishnt, my realm has not fallen. I believe it’s best for to continue holding this true disciple position.”
The pale-faced Liu Guilong, who is the true disciple of the Spirit Plant Departnt, had just finished speaking when Li Li stood up to refute him from across the table.
“Brother Liu, you know the rules of our sect; the capable ones should hold the position. I’m not trying to take your true disciple’s place, but the annual sect competition is approaching. Although you haven’t fallen in realm, you failed to establish the foundation, which greatly reduces your magic duel capabilities. If you lose in the competition, wouldn’t it disgrace our Spirit Plant Departnt?”
“Although I’m not very talented, at least I’m confident that I can win over many within the sect, except for a few extraordinarily gifted disciples.”
“Why doesn’t Brother Liu focus on healing first? After your injuries heal, you can perform so sect tasks to return the contribution points you owe us. After that, I will imdiately return your true disciple’s position to you.”
As soon as Li Li said this, many fellow disciples around him nodded in agreent, even so disciples beside Liu Guilong showed hesitation.
“It’s rather unwise of Brother Liu to cling so desperately to his position. It doesn’t align with his usual character. Could it be that his mind is disturbed due to his failure in Foundation Establishnt?”
Teng Jie murmured to himself and Lu Jun, who was beside him, couldn’t help but nod, feeling that it must be so.
Afterward, the two of them each had their own argunts. Chen Mobai sat quietly in the corner without saying a word. When the two of them wrapped up their argunts, the three leaders had finished their tea.
“Reasoning is sothing that can’t be clearly argued out.”
The chubbily built elder who was sitting on the far right laughed and then proposed a simple solution.
“Two nephews, why not settle it with a magic duel, according to the sect’s rules? Whoever wins will be our Spirit Plant Departnt’s true disciple representative.”
Upon hearing this, Li Li held back his laughter, nodding his head at the three leaders to indicate his agreent.
Despite Liu Guilong’s pale face, a ruthless look flashed through his eyes. But just as he prepared to teach Li Li a lesson, his ear twitched and his eyes flashed with resentnt. But in the end, he sighed.
“Never mind. We are all fellow disciples, there’s no need for hostility. Nephew Liu, it’s best if you focus on healing your injuries for now.”
The one sitting in the center of the three Foundation Establishnt stage elders suddenly spoke up.
Lu Jun introduced him as Lu Zhiwen, the Director of the Spirit Plant Departnt.
“The position of true disciple will be temporarily taken by Nephew Li.”
Once Lu Zhiwen spoke, the resolution was imdiately settled. The two Foundation Establishnt elders on either side had no objections and nodded in agreent.
And so, Liu Guilong could only leave dejectedly.
When he left, only a Qi Cultivation stage disciple followed him.
The remaining four people all gathered around Li Li, the newly appointed true disciple of the Spirit Plant Departnt.
“Co, follow .”
Seeing the three Foundation Establishnt True Cultivators each get up to leave, Lu Jun imdiately brought Chen Mobai with him to follow the chubby elder and arrived in a courtyard.
“This is Elder Sun Gaochang of the Reward Virtue Hall, who is also our Spirit Plant Departnt Inspector.”
As Teng Jie walked alongside Chen Mobai, he introduced the identities and backgrounds of the people they t.
The Spirit Plant Departnt is a crucial departnt in the Divine Wood Sect, which controls thousands of acres of dicinal fields. Its three Foundation Establishnt elders co from three different halls.
The inspector cos from the Reward Virtue Hall who oversees the produce of spiritual dicines and Spirit Rice to prevent corruption. Although his position and power may not be as high as those of the Director or Deputy Director, no one dares to take him lightly.
Lu Jun and Teng Jie are his subordinates.
“Sit.”
After crossing the courtyard, the three of them ca to a study. Sun Gaochang motioned for them to sit down and then started reading the docunt handed up by Lu Jun.
It was the task report for their harvesting trip to the three acres of Spirit Field planted by Chen Mobai.
When Sun Gaochang saw the yield per acre, he couldn’t help but brighten up.
“Nephew Chen just joined this year?”
“Yes.”
Chen Mobai didn’t dare to say more but only nodded in response, pretending to be frightened.
Sun Gaochang then asked about who guided him into joining the sect, his Spiritual Root Talent, his current cultivation progress, and even so highly specialized knowledge about Spirit Plant Farming.
Chen Mobai answered each question; when it ca to the farming questions, he carefully thought about his answers to avoid revealing cultivation techniques beyond the Tianhe Realm’s knowledge of Spirit Plant cultivation. The answering process was quite difficult for him.
Even so, after hearing it, Sun Gaochang was quite satisfied.
Indeed, he was talented in the field of Spirit Plant cultivation, particularly in farming, exhibiting unique insights that even caught Sun Gaochang’s attention.
“Hmm, if your talent can be fully utilized, it would be substantially beneficial to our sect. But since you’ve only just joined, I can’t give you too heavy a workload.”
Sun Gaochang’s tone was gentle, and then he led the three of them to a wall in the study where a detailed leather map hung.
“Nephew Chen, these are the seven acres of the Spirit Field you’ve developed.”
Sun Gaochang pointed to a brown triangle mark on the southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge map. Chen Mobai took a closer look and noticed this place was marked as ‘Small Yang Ridge.’
“Inspector, we are a bit further from Small Yang Ridge, right here.”
Lu Jun imdiately pointed to the three small red dots on the right side of Small Yang Ridge.
“Oh, it’s there. That’s perfect because there’s a Rank-2 top-grade Spirit Vein in Small Yang Ridge, two acres of dicinal fields at the foot of the mountain, and scattered Spirit Fields covering more than ten acres nearby. How about we assign all of these to Nephew Chen to develop?”
After taking a look at the map, Sun Gaochang imdiately circled the brown triangle, including two small green dots nearby and a large number of scattered small red dots.
Chen Mobai followed his fingers looking at the circled areas, not uttering a word.
Such a large area, and furthermore, the Spirit Fields were not in the sa location. If he were to farm it all by himself, he would have no ti to cultivate every day.
This was not what Lu Jun and Teng Jie had earlier ntioned.
“Does Nephew Chen have any objections?”
However in the face of Sun Gaochang, the Foundation Establishnt elder’s decision, he could only nod in agreent.
“Inspector’s arrangent is very good, I have no objections.”
“Hmm, Lu Jun, handle the paperwork for Small Yang Ridge for Nephew Chen. I recall that there’s a sect disciple currently overseeing the two acres of dicinal fields there. Just tell them that the harvest yield was not satisfactory and replace him since the year is almost over.”
Upon finishing his sentence, Sun Gaochang waved his hand to signal for the three of them to withdraw.
Accompanied by Lu Jun, Chen Mobai returned to the main hall of the Spirit Plant Departnt. Before he could speak, Teng Jie preemptively apologized and explained.
“Brother Chen, Brother Liu Guilong is under the Director and Brother Li Li is under the Deputy Director. Only under Inspector Sun, no True Disciple has yet erged. If you work hard, who’s to say the position couldn’t be yours after Brother Li Li’s?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth. He decided not to believe them again.
In the end, he was still too naive, but since he had been tricked into joining the Spirit Plant Departnt, he could only put up with it for now.
If it really impedes his cultivation, he could always give in and quit farming..
