"Aren't so many spiritual stones enough to buy a good magic weapon?" Fang Liting frowned as she watched Tang Ning land slowly.

"Well... I'm used to it."

The two of them stood outside the purple light curtain. Fang Liting took out a black disk and fiddled with it a few times, and the purple light curtain melted into a gap.

"This place is full of second-level elixirs and herbs. The method of care is different from the Chinese herbs in your original garden. I will teach you how to care for them later. You must remember it." The two of them were walking on the middle avenue, and Fang Liting said.

Said, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and trees planted on both sides, the colors are colorful and the fragrance is full of fragrance.

Tang Ning was dazzled and found that he didn't recognize many of them: "Senior Sister Fang, what is that black disk you just took out?"

"That is the central formation disk of the formation. It can control the inside and outside of the formation. Don't worry, I will teach you how to use it."

"Senior Sister Fang, how many kinds of elixirs and herbs are there in total?"

"Thirty-four kinds of raw materials for the elixirs taken by the entire sect's foundation-building monks are here." Fang Liting glanced at Tang Ning: "I'm warning you, don't make any crooked ideas. These are not as good as those low-level herbs. The sect

The management is very strict, Yuan Yidian will come to check from time to time, and the master knows every flower and grass here. If he comes back and finds something is missing, his temper will not be enough to satisfy his hatred unless he peels you off and cramps you."

These words had a different meaning to Tang Ning's ears. Deacon Ma Wen must have a bad temper and be very stingy. Fang Liting may not have been as happy and happy as she imagined these years.

The two walked for a long time and came to a wooden house. Fang Liting said: "This is my residence. You can find an open space in this herb garden and build a house to live. Now I will tell you how to use this central array.

.”

"This formation is called the Huijiao Eight Palaces Formation. It was modified from the Small Five Elements Formation. The formation does not focus on killing, but on defense. It is now mostly used to protect private caves. There are eight gates in this formation, and only one is the Sheng Gate.

, the remaining seven gates are all suspicious gates, used to trap the enemy. The northwest part of the formation is the center of the formation, and the eight gates can be adjusted to the outside at any time. Now the Sheng Gate is in Dumen, due east. I will teach you how to adjust the eight gates of this formation.

Door position..."

Fang Liting talked eloquently for more than half an hour before Tang Ning finally understood.

He left the hut and came to a bamboo forest. He spent most of the day building a simple bamboo hut and lived there.

After that, I went to Fang Liting's thatched house every day to listen to her teaching about various herb taboos and care methods in the herb garden.

One day, Fang Liting led a man with big ears and a wide mouth to Tang Ning and introduced him: "This is Junior Brother Tao Yiran from Qingxuan Palace. Junior Brother Tao, he is Tang Ning, a disciple of the Herbology Department."

"Hello, Senior Brother Tao," Tang Ning said.

"Junior Brother Tang, right? From now on, you are only responsible for collecting the herbs from the fellows in the Herbal Medicine Department, and then handing them over to me. You don't have to worry about the rest. Oh, and also, you still need to give them whatever you gave them before.

You go and do it." Tao Yiran said, looking very arrogant.

He is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but he calls everyone in the Herbal Medicine Department his junior disciples. It should be noted that many of them are above him in cultivation. It is not known whether he really doesn't know or is just arrogant in nature.

To be able to enter the Qingxuan Hall, one must have excellent qualifications, and it is understandable that one is ambitious and broad-minded, but being so arrogant would be annoying.

Tang Ning knew that this was Fang Liting's idea, but she was embarrassed to speak out, so she found the Qingxuan Temple monk in front of her, firstly to let the two of them meet each other to facilitate the handover of "work" in the future, and secondly, to use his mouth to tell the matter.

Obviously, Tao Yiran was used to replace Wu Datong. He was a monk of Qingxuan Hall. Disciples in the sect who want to enter or leave the sect must first report to Qingxuan Hall, and then go to the Security Department to make a note after approval, and finally they can leave the sect.

Therefore, the management staff of Qingxuan Hall are the first to know who is about to leave the sect, and this Tao Yiran is probably the disciple who handles this matter.

Tangning had no other choice but to nod: "Okay."

"How often did you do it before? How long will it take this time?" Tao Yiran asked

"About once a year, this time in about five months!"

"Well, I'll come back in five months. Senior Sister Fang, I'll take my leave now."

Fang Liting nodded, and she didn't say a word until Tao Yiran left. She didn't say a word, as if it had nothing to do with her, but Tang Ning understood that he had been kicked out of the company and would be just a porter from now on...

…

A few days later, Tang Ning and Wu Datong met again, at the cliff of Laogu Peak, where they had a beginning and an end.

Wu Datong seemed to be still unwilling: "Junior brother Tang? Is there no other way?"

Tang Ning smiled bitterly and said: "What can you do if you are a slave and I am a fish? Just be content! Senior Brother Wu, you have earned so many spiritual stones that you can squander them for a few years. It's harder for me than you. In order to bribe Senior Sister Fang, not only did I give five thousand spiritual stones in vain.

Shi, I want to work as her porter for free, just as long as it works! This result is already good. From now on, you can continue to do your elixir business, I will live my small life, and the herb thing will end here."

Wu Datong opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed.

Three months later, Tang Ning was completely familiar with the affairs of the herb garden, and Fang Liting also left the herb garden. She had reported to the sect to prepare for foundation construction, received approval, and is now making full preparations for foundation construction.

Any disciple within the Qianyi Sect who has reached the tenth level of Qi Refining can apply to the sect for foundation building preparations. After being approved, they can put aside all affairs within the sect and can also choose a place to open a cave for the purpose of foundation building.

It is worth mentioning that applying for foundation building preparation is different from applying for impact foundation building. Foundation building preparation takes a period of time, which can be as short as a few months or a year, or as long as three to five years.

With Fang Liting gone, Tang Ning could show off his skills. He found some medicinal herb seeds in Fang Liting's thatched hut and catalyzed those elixir seeds in the herb garden every day. However, these herbs required a lot of spiritual power, and he spent more than three days.

Yue Cai successfully catalyzed a dragon scale grass.

The maturity period of dragon scale grass is twenty years. When mature, it turns golden yellow and its leaves resemble dragon scales, hence the name dragon scale grass. It is the main medicine of Yuan Qi Pill, which is a pill used by monks in the early stage of foundation building.

.

Tang Ning put the dragon scale grass into the storage bag and continued to catalyze the herb seeds.

One day, the jade plate in his storage bag suddenly buzzed. Tang Ning took it out to take a look and silently recited a magic formula. The jade plate glowed with white light, and a light appeared in the sky. A yellow talisman shuttled through the purple light curtain.

Come in and float in mid-air.

Tang Ning controlled the jade plate, tapped it a few times with her fingers, and the talisman flew straight towards him.

This jade plate is the central array plate of the great formation. Fang Liting handed this thing to him after leaving the herb garden. The jade plate is only the size of a pair of palms and has an octagonal shape. It is unknown what kind of material it is made of. It is neither gold nor stone. It is as smooth as

Jade, with twelve buttons on it, is the key to controlling the formation.

The talisman quickly floated in front of him. Tangning reached out and took it. A burst of spiritual consciousness was injected into it, and she got the information inside. It turned out that Tao Yiran was here.

He controlled the jade plate to open a gap in the purple light curtain, allowing Tao Yiran to come in.

Not long after, Tao Yiran arrived. He still looked arrogant. When he saw him, he raised his head and asked, "Junior brother Tang, have you finished gathering the herbs?"

"Not yet! I will collect it in half a month." Tang Ning replied.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yiran's face darkened with an unhappy look on his face, and he stared at Tangning: "What's wrong with you? You're wasting my time. Didn't I tell you to come back in five months last time? Why haven't you collected the money yet?"

?”

Hearing his reprimanding tone, Tangning, no matter how good-tempered she was, felt unhappy: "Senior Brother Tao, what I said last time was five months later. Don't you even have this understanding?"

"You..." Tao Yiran paused and pointed at Tangning: "You actually talked to me like that."

"What? Could it be that you have to kneel down and salute when talking to Senior Brother Tao? Even the leader doesn't have such great authority and can force people to kneel down and salute."

"Okay, okay." Tao Yiran pointed at him. Tangning thought he was going to say something harsh and break his face, but she didn't expect that after saying hello twice, he suppressed his anger and said, "As you said, I'll come back in half a month.

." After saying that, he walked away.

As Tang Ning watched this man leave, she felt that the old saying was true, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds...

This man spoke arrogantly and looked above his head. I thought he was a hot-tempered person, but I didn't expect that he was just a strong-willed person. If he wanted to be friendly and make money, why would he need to act arrogant and end up humiliating himself!

He didn't think much about it and just continued to do his own thing every day. Half a month later, Tao Yiran came again, with a dark face and no words, as if to vent his anger.

This left him a little speechless. It was ridiculous for a man of his age to still be so childish.

Tang Ning didn't want to make things too tense. Last time, she was just angry and had a quick conversation. There was no need to make it so ugly, so she took the initiative to hand over the collected herbs to him and said, "Senior Brother Tao, what I said last time was so thoughtful."

I offend you, but I hope you will bear with me."

"Humph." Tao Yiran snorted coldly, put away the herbs, turned around and left.

Tangning shook her head, how could this person be so good?

His mind is immature, his words are childish, and he is petty, just like a child, but he doesn't seem to be a manipulative person.

Time flew by, and Tang Ning stayed here for another two years. During these two years, in addition to practicing, he used medicinal herbs every day, occasionally dealt with the inspections of the monks of Yuan Yidian, and wrote a dossier report every year.

Different from the original herb garden, these Yuan Yidian monks who came to inspect were quite serious. They had to check the quantity and growth status of each herb. How many seeds were received from each herb, how many died, and how many survived were handed over.

How much, how much is left now is very clear.

Tang Ning had a clear conscience and answered truthfully. If she didn't know something, she would say that she had only come here recently and didn't know much about it.

There are two such inspections a year, and there are none of the Alchemy Department disciples who buy medicinal herbs privately at low prices.

Tao Yiran was still the same as before. Every time he came, he kept a dark face and didn't say a word. He would take the medicinal herbs and leave, or hand the spirit stone to Tang Ning and then turn around and leave.
