Chapter 74: Inauspicious

Spiritual Medicine Pavilion Manager.

Although it was not a high position, it was much more relaxed than being a spiritual plant farmer and provided a higher income as well.

Wei Fan naturally hoped to get He Song out of the spiritual plant farmer pit.

However, he didn’t know.

For He Song, the position of Spiritual Medicine Pavilion Manager was not very attractive. Although he could become a middle-level manager in Immortal Pavilion, to He Song, whether he manages or not, both were trivial matters.

What’s important was that no one would disturb him when he cultivated in his spare time.

That was the most critical factor.

It’s true that after becoming the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion Manager, he would earn more spirit stones, but the increase would not be significant.

Zhao Lin was one of the managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, and He Song was clear about his income, which was about a hundred and several spirit stones a year.

Compared to the ninety spirit stones a spiritual plant farmer earns in a year, it’s only an increase of a dozen or so.

For the sake of earning these dozen more spirit stones a year,

he would have to work like a servant in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion every day… He Song was not willing.

It would be better to continue being a small spiritual plant farmer, taking half an hour each day to use the Spirit Rain Skill, and using the rest of the time for cultivation or other activities.

Wasn’t this better than working like a servant?

“Maybe I should forget about it. Being a spiritual plant farmer is pretty good. I have plenty of time for cultivation every day. If I become a manager, I’m afraid I’ll have to be on duty every day and my cultivation speed will slow down a lot.”

He naturally wanted to accept Wei Fan’s kindness, but after some consideration, He Song chose to refuse it.

There was no other reason.

Continuing to be a spiritual plant farmer, he could cultivate every day in the Spirit-Gathering Array at home, which would naturally help him to progress more quickly in his cultivation. If he really took a position as a Spiritual Medicine Pavilion manager, his cultivation speed would certainly slow down without the support of the Spirit-Gathering Array.

For the sake of the dozen or so spirit stones, 1–1e Song was unwilling to see his cultivation speed slow down while also having to be on duty at the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.

“Don’t worry, I’ve considered everything you’re concerned about. One of the two deceased managers had a very relaxed position that won’t interfere with your cultivation. I’ve considered all these factors.”

Seeing that He Song was somewhat reluctant, Wei Fan immediately began to explain to him.

“The management position I’m fighting for you is to guard the medicine garden in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. You only need to be present in the Medicine Garden during the day, and you don’t need to deal with other matters; the people below will take care of them.”

“You just need to watch over the Medicine Garden during the day and check the garden once at the end of the day. In addition, the concentration of spirit Qi in the Medicine Garden is much higher than elsewhere, which would make your cultivation speed faster when you cultivate there.”

With Wei Fan’s explanation, He Song quickly got a better understanding of the Medicine Garden Manager position. Being a Medicine Garden Manager, was essentially being a supervisor.

For example, the responsibilities like using the Spirit Rain Skill, turning over the soil, watering the plants, and fertilizing would be done by others.

If He Song became the Medicine Garden Manager, he would only need to check the number of spirit medicines at the beginning and end of the day-

Apart from that, the rest of his time could be spent freely.

Moreover, due to the high concentration of spirit Qi in the Medicine Garden, as most spirit medicines need more abundant spirit Qi, the cultivation speed would be much faster.

Even compared to the Spirit-Gathering Array at He Song’s home, the difference is likely negligible.

Also, with the natural spirit Qi emanating from the spirit medicine, the cultivation speed within the Medicine Garden would be even faster.

So it could be said, that the position of Medicine Garden Manager was quite appealing.

Even though there was a Spirit-Gathering Array at He Song’s house, cultivating in the Medicine Garden would not be slower, but even faster.

In this way, he could earn more spirit stones while increasing his cultivation speed, why wouldn’t he agree?

At this thought, He Song cupped his hands towards Wei Fan and thanked him,

“Thank you, Wei, I will keep your kindness in mind.”

He Song agreed, and seeing that He Song accepted the offer, Wei Fan was satisfied and nodded.

As close friends for over ten years, they have helped each other on many occasions. Wei Fan naturally hoped to see He Song’s cultivation improve quickly.

Only when He Song’s cultivation improved could he truly help Wei Fan.

Sometimes, this behavior is called creating factions, but most of the time, it’s called mentoring juniors.

When the juniors grow up, the benefits they bring will naturally not be too little.

Moreover, he didn’t lose anything.

It was just a simple application.

Since anyone could be the Medicine Garden Manager, why not his close friend He Song?

With their discussion finished.

In the following time,

the two chatted leisurely for a while at the Spirit Construction Pavilion before He Song bid his farewell and left.

Upon leaving the Spirit Construction Pavilion,

He Song thought for a moment and then walked toward where his home was located.

He hadn’t returned for over half a month, so it was time to clean his room.

However, with the Object Controlling Skills he had cultivated, cleaning the room could also be done with that skill.

As He Song was thinking about these things, he walked quickly,

However,

Just as He Song was walking towards his home, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing outside his door.

Zhao Lin,

He was pacing back and forth outside He Song’s room.

Looking at him, it seemed as if he was hesitating whether to knock on the door or not.

Seeing this, He Song felt a little puzzled but quickly walked up to him and invited him in,

“Brother Zhao, why don’t you come in and have a chat?”

The sudden sound made Zhao Lin tremble, and he quickly produced a few Thick Earth Amulets. However, upon seeing that it was He Song who had spoken, Zhao Lin finally relaxed.

Ignoring how He Song appeared beside him, Zhao Lin put away the Thick Earth Amulets and then cupped his hands. “I shall follow your suggestion, let’s go inside and chat.”

Both of them entered the house together,

He Song used the Object Controlling Skills to clean up the dusty room and then invited Zhao Lin to sit at the table.

By the side of the desk,

He Song skillfully brewed tea.

When guests arrived, the common people cooked and the cultivators brewed tea, as this was the way to treat guests.

Although He Song didn’t know what Zhao Lin was looking for, he still needed to provide hospitality.

While He Song brewed the tea,

Zhao Lin simply looked out the window, lost in thought.

It was only when the fragrance of tea filled the room and He Song placed a freshly brewed cup in front of Zhao Lin that he finally withdrew his gaze from the window and picked up the teacup.

Immediately after that, Zhao Lin sighed deeply,

“Fellow Daoist, do you know why I lingered outside your house for so long but never dared to knock on your door?”

Looking at He Song beside him, no emotions could be seen on Zhao Lin’s face.

However, before He Song could respond,

Zhao Lin’s voice sounded again,

“Fellow Daoist, more than half a month ago, I promised to findsomeone to take care of your seven-acre spirit field. Do you remember?”

As he spoke, Zhao Lin put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and bowed to He Song.

Seeing this, He Song suddenly had a bad feeling..
