Chapter 426 Helping You Grow Plump and Strong Herbs
"What do you want your uncle to say in a good word for me?"
Seeing the three of them huddled together whispering, the grandmaster walked over and said, "Xiao Chuan, have these two sisters gotten into trouble again?"
No wonder our master asked that question. It was all because the two sisters overestimated themselves yesterday. They had just broken through to the fourth level and dared to provoke a five-level two-headed snake demon. If our master and the others hadn't arrived in time, the two sisters would have been devoured by the snake.
That was extremely reckless and showed a complete lack of self-confidence.
Finally, the grandmaster had no choice but to tell the two sisters about their actions to their families. The two sisters were severely scolded by their families. In the end, instead of receiving any reward for breaking through their cultivation level, they were penalized with a deduction of points. Their treatment with the grandmaster plummeted, so at this moment, they were a little short of breath when facing the grandmaster.
The grandmaster looked over the two sisters' heads and at the uneven patch of land in front of him. As if he couldn't believe it, he blinked and rubbed his eyes a few times before he could accept the reality before him.
Originally, this place was densely covered with all kinds of spiritual plants, herbs and flowers, but now it is full of pits, one every three steps.
Looking at the plants in the sisters' hands, the Grandmaster frowned and said, "I gave you half an hour to rest, and you came here to dig up grass and flowers? Don't you know how to meditate and regulate your breathing? You still have time to play? I think you're not tired enough. You still have energy left, huh?"
Seeing that her master was about to get angry, Yao Maimai quickly put on a flattering act and said, "Master, please calm down, please calm down. We just thought the spiritual plants and herbs here were very good, so we dug up a lot of them to plant in Medicine King Valley for you."
"Yes, yes, Grandmaster, please don't be angry."
Wenxia, ever the sycophant, said, "Grandmaster, I remember you said you wanted to dig up some of the spiritual plants here and transplant them to Medicine King Valley. We all remember that, and we've already dug up quite a few. Grandmaster, do you think these are the ones?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pile of spiritual plants appeared in front of the grandmaster. There were still some soil around the roots of these plants, indicating that they had just been dug up.
The grandmaster saw the spiritual plants he wanted to transplant among the pile of spiritual plants. In addition, there were some spiritual herbs he had casually mentioned and spiritual flowers he had marveled at for their medicinal uses. In short, any spiritual plant or herb he had glanced at or praised in the past few days could be found in this pile of spiritual plants.
Sigh, the master's heart has been completely won over by the two sisters. He thought to himself that the girls are indeed more thoughtful than the boy. Just wait and see, he bet that Xiao Chuan probably never thought of this.
The grandmaster stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, you two sisters are very thoughtful."
After saying that, he glared at Ye Jingchuan.
The latter sensed his master's anger and was somewhat bewildered.
Yao Maimai was adept at reading people's expressions. When she saw her grandmaster's kind and gentle expression, she began to intentionally or unintentionally talk about her ideas on planting flowers. In the end, she didn't forget to complain a bit.
“Grandmaster, after we sisters return to the capital, we can only stay in the capital city, and at most stay at the manor in the suburbs for a few days. You think about it, we have nowhere to use our skills. Why don’t we go to Medicine King Valley to help you plant these spiritual plants, herbs and flowers? That way, they won’t be affected by the soil and water and won’t grow well. Wouldn’t that be a waste? Grandmaster, what do you think of my idea?”
Who is the Grandmaster? How could he not understand her unspoken meaning?
Wen Yuanqian and his grandmaster had discussed the activities of the Wen sisters after they returned to the capital. These girls were all of marriageable age, and at this time, many families in the capital were probably keeping an eye on them!
Yao Maimai is right. A group of young women can cause trouble even when there's nothing wrong with them. Of course, no one can bully them with their skills. However, it's better to avoid trouble and not waste time on unimportant things. It would be better to find them a quiet place to cultivate.
Therefore, the elders had discussed it long ago. They returned to the capital and found a reason to send the girls away from the capital for a while. Medicine King Valley was the best place for them.
Since Yao Maimai brought up this topic at this time, the grandmaster simply went along with it.
“The places where spiritual plants are grown in Medicine King Valley are all high in the mountains, and the two of you probably won’t be able to manage it all.”
The grandmaster pretended to be hesitant and said, "How about we just forget about it?"
"No, please don't calculate!" Yao Maimai said anxiously. "Grandmaster, if you don't mind, my sister can go too, okay?"
Wenxia seized the opportunity and said, "Grandmaster, my younger sisters can go too. We're good at climbing and growing, planting vegetables and herbs, carrying water and fertilizing. Even my sixth sister, Xiao Qing'er, is a vegetable-growing expert. Hehehe, Grandmaster, don't worry."
"Grandmaster, we'll make sure you grow your medicinal herbs to be plump and healthy," Yao Maimai concluded generously.
As soon as he finished speaking, several bursts of laughter rang out from nearby.
“Daughter, your father is ignorant. I have never seen such plump and healthy medicinal herbs before, hahaha.”
“MaiMai, even your third uncle has never seen one. You have to be strong and make sure you grow it, hehehe.”
"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.
"Alright, stop joking around. It's getting dark soon, let's head back."
The group took a few Swiftness talismans and hurried back.
......
A grassland at the junction of the inner and outer borders of the Yanqian Mountains.
The women of the Wen family had just finished slaying a three-layered, two-headed snake demon, and were now sorting out their spoils.
This tidying up is not tidying up in the usual sense.
Generally speaking, after killing a monster, people will take everything they can—blood, flesh, bones, fur—as they can.
In fact, the Ren family, the Ye family, the Wei family, and Wen Lanling and Wen Lanmin also wanted to collect their spoils in the usual way.
The only problem is that they were too powerful just now. At the last moment, they threw out several exploding spirit talismans at the same time, which actually blasted the snake demon into pieces. The largest piece of meat was only the size of a palm. So, now the group is searching for monster meat all over the grass. Isn't this the most troublesome of all?
“Mother, it’s getting dark, let’s go back!” said Master Zhou.
Grandmother Wen glanced at the sky, then at her daughters-in-law and daughters who were cleaning up the remains of the monster.
"Aying, Jingyi, Chunyan, Lanling, Lanmin, you guys hurry up, stop picking and choosing, pack them all up and take them back together!"
"Aunt, Mother, Third Aunt, Aunts, how about we just leave those scraps of meat?" Wen Chengxi and Wen Chengfeng said.
This was quite a mess; the two young men's words had really offended the family, angering several of the older women in the household.
"Why should we give it up? This is a monster we fought so hard to kill!"
"You make it sound so easy, child."
"It's true, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are until you're in charge of the household."
"Cheng hope, Cheng Feng, when did you two develop such extravagant and wasteful habits?"
"If you have the time, come and help. Don't just stand there talking without understanding the situation."
Master Zhou gave the two young men a wink, and Wen Chengxi and Wen Chengfeng hurriedly ran over to help.
Finally, Zhou Fuzi and Wen Yuanqian, forced by circumstances, also joined the team to collect the monster meat.
Even the old man with the dragon wrapped around Wen Yuanqian's wrist secretly used his advantage to gather the remaining limbs of the monsters that were a little further away into one place, so that the women could collect them.
The group didn't leave until it was almost dark before reluctantly getting back on the old dragon's back and heading back.
