Chapter 266 Care
"Except for the people of the Wanfa Sect, you are the only one who has experience in growing Enlightenment Tea. Considering the problems of acclimatization, it would be better for you to go along for the sake of safety. Besides, you have accumulated quite a few sect missions, so it's a good opportunity to clear them up."
Seeing that she did not accept the task jade slip, Taoist Qingxuan did not urge her and just put it on the table.
On the table inlaid with beautiful jade, five light yellow jade slips, each two fingers wide, fell one after another, making a tinkling sound.
Wei Wenxin was unmoved and refused immediately: "I'm really busy recently..."
For low-level disciples, completing sect missions is one of the main ways to make money, and everyone is very enthusiastic about it. For high-level disciples, it is more like an obligation.
Especially in Wei Wenxin's case, her abilities far exceed her cultivation, and she can earn a lot by doing anything. For her, doing sect missions means working hard for a long time but gaining very little, which is totally not cost-effective.
She was so engrossed in studying the communicator that she didn't want to go out at all.
Even if we choose the nearest Danxin Sect, a round trip will take more than ten days. If we include the time for transplanting the Wudao Tea, I don’t know how long it will take.
It’s not that she lacks time, but she feels uncomfortable when she has to put something aside halfway through.
"There are tea seedlings all over the garden of Wanfa Sect now. If any of these seven dies, one of them will survive immediately. Wenxin, you should understand how much risk our six sects have taken by joining forces to do this. You have also put in so much effort, you don't want to end up with nothing, right?"
Taoist Qingxuan has such a personality. He looks gentle, but his words always hit the nail on the head.
Wei Wenxin was immediately convinced by him.
She didn't care whether she was the only one who could do this, nor did she care how many tasks the sect owed her. Anyway, her contribution to the sect was not determined by these.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch the Wanfa Sect take advantage!
Wei Wenxin picked up the five jade slips and wanted to go out immediately:
"There are five teams. Which one should I follow?"
The Qingshen Sect is in the west, the Tianyin Sect is in the southwest, the Piaoxue Sect is in the north, the Danxin Sect and the Tianfu Sect are on the way, but if we go east, don’t the other three forces have any objections?
"The Wanfa Sect has received the news. We have to change the previous plan and transport the goods openly. The five factions will take turns. The specific order will be decided after the leaders of the five factions arrive and then draw lots."
Previously, they were worried that without the protection of the formation, the Enlightenment Tea would be easily figured out by others. For safety reasons, the Wanjian Sect planned to send five tea trees out at the same time to distract the Wanfa Sect's attention.
Now, because of the message from the upper realm, the Wanfa Sect already knows about it, so they don't plan to act secretly anymore.
Wei Wenxin originally thought that he could choose the nearest Danxin Sect and make a trip there, which would not take long. Now he has to visit all five sects, and it might take more than a year.
That feeling is so terrible!
But since she has agreed, she will not go back on her word.
Seeing her exhale, and her whole body showing a sense of dejection, Taoist Qingxuan knew what was going on at a glance.
"You will travel back and forth on the sect's most luxurious warship. There will be thousands of people traveling with you. You only need to stay in the warehouse. Whether you practice or think about something, it won't be delayed."
Because after escorting the Enlightenment Tea, they also have to bring back the immortal plants that were traded on the other side, so the Wanjian Sect specially selected many high-level combat forces who are good at fighting to go with them, so she really doesn't need to do anything.
Her only mission this time was to ensure the survival of the Wudao Tea.
She doesn't even need to take care of the fairy plants that she brought back.
In exchange, other sects would send people to the Wanjian Sect to take care of them, and they would also have to wait until the transplanting was successful before returning.
"Okay, uncle. Let me know when we're leaving."
"Well, we have to wait a few days until everyone arrives."
Wei Wenxin nodded, sent his uncle down the mountain, and returned to Quanyong Cottage. He no longer had the mood to think about the communicator.
The fact that the master came to her cave to talk to her about this showed that he cared about her feelings.
Seeing that he had to go on a long journey and would not be able to come back in a short time, Wei Wenxin simply called the five members of the Zhen family and the two plant elves, Ziyu and Ganlu, over.
She hadn't asked about the things on the peak for a long time. Ziyu and Ganlu were fine, they were both on the peak, they came as soon as they received the news that Zhen Le, the second son of the Zhen family, was about to get married, and the whole family was looking at houses in Wanjian City, it would take them a long time to get back, there was no rush, Wei Wenxin didn't rush them.
When Ganlu came, she was carrying a big bamboo basket, which she held in her little arms and flapped with her little wings. When she brought the basket to Wei Wenxin, her face turned red.
"Master, these are mushrooms grown in the tea garden. Try them. They are very delicious!"
Although Ganlu is small, she might be the one with the highest emotional intelligence in the entire Lingsi Peak. Every time she comes to see her, she brings some gifts.
But tea is seasonal and it can't always be sent as a gift, so it found another way and began to intercrop other things in the tea garden.
It is a tea tree spirit and particularly understands the needs of tea trees. It has planted many things over the years. Beans, mushrooms and the like are all common stuff. The most valuable one is a kind of wood-attributed spiritual ginseng.
Because it is one of the auxiliary materials for foundation-building pills, it is very delicate and difficult to maintain, and can only coexist with tea trees, so the price is very high.
Only those tea gardens that have tea tree essence can do this.
Thanks to this, the tea garden has now become the second most profitable department of Lingsi Peak, so Wei Wenxin attaches great importance to Ganlu.
Seeing her coming over with a basket of mushrooms, he remembered the chicken that the waiter had stewed last time, so he simply asked Ling Cang to go catch some fish.
After all, she is the master of a peak. She practices too hard on a daily basis. The peak has such abundant produce, but she has never enjoyed it properly. This is really wrong!
Zi Yu arrived a step later than Gan Lu. She saw from afar that Wei Wenxin had placed a large round-bellied tripod in the yard. Spiritual spring water was bubbling in the tripod, and the fragrance of mushrooms was wafting in the air. Under the tripod was a small flower of heavenly fire. She hurried back to the bamboo forest, gritted her teeth, dug out a bunch of tender bamboo shoots, and then came back with the basket.
Ling Cang came back soon.
When Wei Wenxin saw it transformed into a human form with only a small bucket in its hand, she thought it didn't catch any fish. Fearing that it would embarrass itself, she was about to get up and run to the pond herself, when she saw it land happily and bring the small bucket in front of her.
"What do you think of these? I picked them carefully. The meat is springy and crispy, and there are few bones."
Wei Wenxin then discovered that the small bucket was actually a space magic weapon. It looked small, but it was actually quite large inside. She couldn't help but be curious:
“When did you buy this?”
When I go out on weekdays, I always carry spiritual spring water in a thin-necked white porcelain bottle. This small bucket is not very practical.
"Hey, fish has to be fresh. Come on, wait over there and I'll do it."
Then Wei Wenxin saw it take out a small knife, knock a fish unconscious skillfully, and quickly filleted the fish, even removing the fish bones in the process!
It would take several years to master this method of killing fish.
The fish slices are as thin as paper and they even jump when they are first sliced!
A large plate was poured into the tripod, and in less than two seconds it was scooped out with a strainer. The fish meat was trembling, and the part next to the skin was the reddest, getting whiter towards the middle, and the whole thing was a gradient pink. It was placed on the white plate, like beautiful petals!
"Come, try this secret dipping sauce. Is it delicious?"
Seeing Ling Cang put down the plate and push over a small plate with dipping sauce, Wei Wenxin was stunned!
"Ahem, sometimes when I'm short of money, I'll go to the market and set up a stall. A share costs 100 spirit stones. When business is good, the daily turnover can reach tens of thousands."
Ling Cang was very embarrassed.
It seems that while she was busy, the life of her own spirit beast was extremely exciting!
"But as I remember, you only sell fruit, don't you?"
Ling Cang said confidently: "When you sell fruit, you have to share the profits with others. Selling this doesn't cost you anything. What would you sell if it were you?"
Wei Wenxin silently picked up a piece, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth, and didn't say anything for a long time.
With so many smart people around her who know how to make money, she deserves to have money to spend.
During lunch, I chatted with the children. Juan Wang said that Wang Jie was the first to cough, and she infected us. He told her to eat well and grow up strong so that she would not get sick. I think that saying this would put the children under psychological pressure and they would not enjoy eating. I said that I was fine before, but you insisted on kissing me and infected me. It was not their fault. He got very angry when he talked about this. I scolded him and said that I rarely go out all year round and caught a cold three times a year, at least two of which were caused by this. It was too miserable. I told him not to kiss me in the future. Then the two children started to compete with their father and insisted that I caught a cold because of their kiss. I explained seriously that kissing the forehead and cheeks would not spread a cold, and asked them to relax and that our relationship could remain the same. The children were very unconvinced and did not know what to argue about. I thought he would blush, but he was as thick-skinned as a city wall and was very calm. I cooked for two consecutive days on the weekend and arranged three meals a day quite well. The children also took the initiative to take care of me so that I could have a good rest. I don’t know if it was because of guilt.
