A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

"To take over a Qingshiling Hundred Medicine Garden, a specified number of rare medicinal materials must be handed over every year."

Han Li was overjoyed when he saw the gold-lacquered characters on the bamboo slips. Then he pointed at the bamboo slip, raised his head and said to Deacon Yu: "I like this job quite a lot. Can Senior Brother Yu introduce you to it?"

After hearing what Han Li said, Deacon Yu came forward with a smile. But when he saw clearly the job Han Li had chosen, the smile on his face immediately turned into a bitter smile.

"Junior brother, let's find another job. The task of taking over the garden is too difficult for junior brother to do!" Deacon Yu said sincerely, but when he saw Han Li looking a little confused, he continued to explain. :

"Since this task was placed here a few years ago, many people have taken it over, but every disciple has messed up. Not only did they not get the reward, but they were all fined a lot of spiritual stones. It can be said that here It’s one of the most difficult jobs to complete. Besides, I’m not afraid of Junior Brother Han’s jokes. Every year, I ask those senior brothers to draw lots so that this job can be forced out!”

After hearing these words, Han Li felt a little funny, but he also muttered. But he still didn’t want to give up, so he asked for advice very humbly:

"Senior brother, can you tell me what is so difficult about this job? Why have so many senior brothers not completed it? Isn't it just managing the herbs in the garden! Isn't this difficult too?"

"Did the nephew choose the medicine garden task of Senior Brother Ma?" The old man surnamed Ye on the side, after listening to the conversation between the two, frowned and interjected before the middle-aged deacon could answer.

"Isn't that right! Junior Brother Han just took a fancy to Master Ma's extremely difficult job." The middle-aged deacon looked dumbfounded.

After hearing this, the old man also turned into a half-smiling expression.

"Haha! Master Nephew Han is really good at choosing! He actually chose the most troublesome job here at a glance. However, this job is really a headache. Several people who were forced to take this task have complained to me. . But because Senior Brother Ma refuses to change the conditions of rewards and punishments easily, I have no choice! If Senior Nephew Han wants to know the details of this work, he can go to the inner hall with me and look at the relevant files. This is not as good as others using words. That's much better!" For some reason, Hall Master Ye of Baiji Hall acted very generous to Han Li and actually opened the door for him.

Han Li secretly frowned, this Master Ye was too enthusiastic! Although he gave up the Foundation Establishment Pill to the other party, it seemed to be an equal transaction on the surface. Wouldn't he let this person be so affectionate to him?

Holding back his doubts, Han Li looked flattered and followed the old man who took the bamboo slips into a room at the back of the hall. This room was filled with various files.

The old man picked up the bamboo slip in the room and waved it gently. Then a blue light flashed on the slip, and a scroll automatically flew into his hand. Then he turned his hand and handed the scroll to Han Li.

Now that things had come to this point, Han Li took the scroll without ceremony and quickly unfolded it to take a closer look.

The content of the scroll is not long. It only records the self-reported experiences of the previous disciples who took over the medicine garden, as well as the reasons for their failure. Therefore, Han Li read quickly, and in a short time he understood the content and difficulties of this work.

"How about it? Let's try another task! Although the reward for this task is very generous, it is indeed not something that ordinary disciples can complete." Master Ye said with seeming concern.

After hearing this, Han Li pondered for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said, "Thank you, Master Ye! But this job is very suitable to my taste. I don't need to change to other tasks, so I chose it!"

The old man heard the determination in Han Li's words and felt a little stunned, but he said nothing and nodded in agreement. But he did not take Han Li out of the room immediately. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he said something unnaturally.

"Master Nephew Han, in the last transaction we made for Foundation Establishment Pills, can we postpone the delivery of some of the items? Uncle Master, I am about to refine a furnace of Heqi Pills recently, and my money is really tight, so I'm afraid it won't be convenient. But please rest assured, nephew, as long as a year and a half pass, uncle will be able to pay off all the items he owes."

When Han Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately started laughing.

"What did Master Ye say? Since it's inconvenient for Master, then just give as much as you can. Why bother mentioning anything about repaying it later? This can be regarded as the filial piety of this junior to Master!"

Han Li felt that he was extremely hypocritical. Although he was extremely depressed in his heart and hated the other party for breaking the contract, he still had a smile on his face and said words that made the other party happy. This is probably the sadness of being a weak person! He thought bitterly.

"What do you mean by my nephew! Do you think I am the kind of person who breaks promises and breaks his promises? I will never promise anything less than my nephew." After hearing what Han Li said, the old man surnamed Ye not only I wasn't happy, but instead I straightened my face, showing that I was a gentleman and would never do such a villainous thing.

Han Li was barely able to maintain a smile, but after hearing this, he was so angry that he almost collapsed!

This elder is too shameless. He clearly wants to regret throwing away most of the items, but he still insists on pretending to be upright and trustworthy. He is really a typical hypocrite!

Han Li couldn't bear it anymore and kept cursing secretly. But the smile on his face only lags slightly, and then naturally changes to a sincere look, and he continues in a tone that feels disgusting to him:

"Master Ye made the mistake of blaming this junior! In fact, my nephew feels that since he has just entered the sect, these things are a bit too luxurious for this junior. So most of the items will be left with my uncle for the time being. This junior will not use them at all for the time being." Not on."

After hearing Han Li's duplicitous words, the expression of the old man surnamed Ye softened, and he nodded slightly and said: "There is some truth in what Han Li said! If the new disciples rely too much on these external things, it will indeed be harmful to you. My practice will be greatly hindered! Then I will do as you said and leave some of the items here with me temporarily. If you need them in the future, feel free to pick them up!"

"Then there's Master Lao Ye!" Han Liqiang smiled, but he was comforting himself over and over again. These are just external things, but now they can’t afford to offend the old man in front of them! When there is a chance in the future, I will get back all the money I got with the profits.

"Haha, this is nothing! Let's go out!" The old man seemed to be in a better mood.

The next thing will be much easier to handle. With the help of Uncle Ye, Han Li completed all the procedures very smoothly and received the jade medal indicating that he would take over the job. Then, under the enthusiastic leadership of Deacon Yu, we set off for the Baiyao Garden in Jinfu Ridge.

The old man surnamed Ye stood at the entrance of Baiji Hall, watching Han Li's figure flying away gradually. His face became gloomy and he was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"Junior Brother Ye, is your heart a little soft?" A deep voice suddenly came from behind him.

"It's not a question of whether you are soft-hearted or not, but I feel that it's a bit inappropriate to use such methods to deal with a new disciple. And whether Master Nephew Han may say one thing on the surface, but secretly say another Go ahead and report this to the boss!" The old man said without looking back, but there was a hint of worry in his words.

"Hehe, 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-looking Senior Brother Wu behind him.

"What's there to worry about! Didn't this kid consciously leave the items with you as we arranged in advance? It's not like he said he wouldn't return them, he just kept them temporarily! What's there to report on him? ?" Senior Brother Wu said confidently.

"However, I do admire this boy! It's not easy to know how to advance and retreat at such a young age! If it weren't for his poor qualifications and false spiritual roots, I would really like to take him under his wing! "Senior Brother Wu continued, with a look of regret on his face.

"Fortunately, this person is not a fool, 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! If you and I crush him to death, it will be like crushing an ant to death. Junior Brother Ye doesn't have to spend a lot of money this time, but don't forget what you said in advance!" Senior Brother Wu! Suddenly the topic changed and there was something else in the words.

"I will never forget that I will give you half of the Heqi Pill that is coming out of the oven. Cough! To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that my great-nephew also needed a large amount of precious pills to assist him in the process of building the foundation, I really wouldn't be so generous. Don't you have the nerve to ignore these things of this junior!" The old man surnamed Ye shook his head lightly, looking like he was in danger of losing his life.

After hearing this, the old man surnamed Wu smiled and said nothing, thinking with great pride:

"Since Junior Brother Ye has done such a despicable thing, it can be considered that he has something in his hands. I don't have to worry about the other party not favoring me in future discussions."
