To prevent the information on the jade slip from being intercepted, Ran Changle did not mention the details and only sent a message to Yu Shu: "I have important news to tell you. Come to the Spiritual Medicine Garden as soon as possible."
After waiting for a while, Yu Shu did not reply. Ran Changle put away the communication jade slip, took out the Spirit Gathering Pill and began to practice.
Ever since Fatty Ball was promoted to the second level, it refined a large number of Spirit Gathering Pills for Ran Changle. After using up some of the spiritual medicines it had stored, it ran out again, saying that it was looking for spiritual medicines, but actually it wanted to go out and play.
Ran Changle let it go. She didn't want to treat Fatty as a pet and restrict its freedom just because of the contract. She treated it as a friend and hoped it would always be happy.
The days of cultivation passed quickly, and ten days were gone in the blink of an eye.
Yu Shu didn't reply, so Ran Changle sent him another message and picked up the water jar to water the newly sprouted elixir.
As soon as she went out, she met Qiao Yue and Yuan Bing who came to find her with hoes.
"Junior Sister Ran, what have you thought about my last offer to help you grow spiritual herbs? It's been a month and a half now. If you don't agree now, it will be too late."
Qiao Yue stopped in front of Ran Changle and said anxiously.
"Junior Sister Ran, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have survived last time in the back mountains. I have no way to repay your kindness. I only have this much strength left. I'm willing to help you grow the spiritual medicine and complete your mission."
Yuan Bing gripped the hoe tightly and said sincerely.
"I really don't need any help..."
Before Ran Changle could finish, Qiao Yue rushed in and said, "Junior Sister Ran, I know you're thinking about us and don't want us to leave the sect, but we really can't grow thirty acres of spiritual herbs in three months. Rather than the three of us failing the task and being expelled from the sect, it's better for us to help you complete the task."
"Junior Sister Ran, to tell you the truth, with my talent, even if I stay in the sect, I may not be able to build a foundation in my lifetime. I have decided to leave the sect and return to inherit the martial arts school and be filial to my parents. You really don't have to worry about us."
Yuan Bing also followed suit.
"you……"
Ran Changle had just said two words when he was interrupted by Qiao Yue.
"Junior Sister Ran, you don't need to persuade us. We really want to leave the sect, so we will not do the task of growing spiritual herbs anymore."
"That's right, Junior Sister Ran, it's useless for you to persuade us. We have made up our minds to help you complete your mission and let you stay in the sect."
Yuan Bing patted his chest and made the promise.
Ran Changle: No, you guys won’t let me speak, so how can I consider you? How can I persuade you? I really don’t need it!
"I……"
"Junior Sister Ran, I'm really touched that you're considering us, but please don't hesitate any longer. Time is running out."
Seeing that Qiao Yue and Yuan Bing didn't give her a chance to speak, Ran Changle simply stopped talking, crossed her arms and looked at them quietly.
Qiao Yue and Yuan Bing talked for a few more words, and finally felt that the atmosphere was wrong. They turned to look at Ran Changle.
Seeing that they finally stopped talking, Ran Changle coughed lightly and said quickly: "My thirty acres of spiritual medicine garden has been planted. I just need to check it every ten days and water the spiritual herbs that need watering."
Qiao Yue and Yuan Bing were stunned.
After a while, Qiao Yue stared blankly and asked, "Are you really done planting? You're not lying to us?"
"I'm not lying to you, just follow me."
Ran Changle walked to the water tank, picked up a water tank in each hand and walked towards the spiritual medicine garden.
Qiao Yue and Yuan Bing looked at each other, then followed with their hoes in hand, half believing and half doubting.
Ran Changle opened the formation of the spiritual medicine garden and saw that all the thirty acres of spiritual medicine in the spiritual medicine garden had sprouted. The green sprouts were surrounded by spiritual energy, like a dream.
Qiao Yue opened her mouth in shock.
Yuan Bing gasped: "Really...are they really finished planting?!"
Ran Changle placed the water jar into the spiritual medicine garden, turned around and said to the two, "Now you believe it, don't you? I don't need your help. You should hurry back and find a way to complete your mission. If you fail to complete the mission, being expelled from the sect is the least, and whether you can return home safely is the most serious."
The person who prevented them from completing the mission must have some purpose. If they did not take action in the sect, danger would be waiting for them after leaving the sect.
The path of cultivation is inherently cruel. Ran Changle is not their nanny, all he can do is remind them.
"Huh?" Qiao Yue recovered from her shock. "So you really did complete the mission? Congratulations! I'll be back if you don't need my help."
As for Ran Changle's words, Qiao Yue didn't take them to heart. She was definitely not going to complete the mission. Her home was in Luoyun City, and the Lingxiao Sect had a spiritual boat that went directly there. What danger could there be in returning home? If there was any danger, it was still the danger of cultivating immortality. Any demon beast could kill her. It was better to go home and be a mortal and safe.
"I'm leaving too."
After saying that, Yuan Bing and Qiao Yue left together.
When Ran Changle finished watering the seedlings and came out of the spiritual medicine garden, he saw Yuan Bing returning.
"Junior Sister Ran, I'd like to ask you for a favor." Yuan Bing clasped his fists and bowed. "Of course, I won't let you help me for free. I can pay you."
"You want me to help you grow spiritual herbs?"
Ran Changle understood Yuan Bing's intention after a little thought.
"Yes, I definitely can't finish it in a month and a half at my speed. I wanted to give up before because I felt there was no hope. Now that I see how amazing Junior Sister Ran is, I want to try again."
Yuan Bing took out a jade pendant and two low-grade spirit stones and continued, "This is my reward to Junior Sister Ran. If you don't agree, I won't force you. If you agree, I'll owe you a favor. From now on, if you have any orders, I will never refuse."
Ran Changle reached out to take the jade pendant and the spirit stone, and after tracing the jade pendant with his fingers, he said, "I'll accept the reward, but I won't ask for the favor."
"Thank you, Junior Sister Ran."
Yuan Bing saluted again with gratitude, but Ran Changle raised his hand to stop him.
"Let's agree in advance that I'll only help you plant ten acres."
"That's enough, I can handle the rest myself."
Yuan Bing said quickly.
"I'll come see you tomorrow morning."
Ran Changle thought for a moment and said.
"good."
Yuan Bing was in a good mood and strode away.
After returning to the wooden house, Ran Changle took out the jade pendant given by Yuan Bing. Runes flashed in his eyes and information quickly appeared in his mind.
[The green jade pendant, which appears to be a low-level defensive magical weapon, is actually a blank jade chariot. Feng Pu deliberately placed it in the spiritual medicine garden to confuse people. It was picked up by Yuan Bing and given to Ran Changle.]
Sure enough, it was Feng Pufang again!
Now Ran Changle already has five jade pendants in his hand, and the only one left is the one in Ning Fan's spiritual medicine garden.
If Ning Fan offered her the jade pendant, she would accept it. If he didn't offer it to her, she wouldn't ask for it. This would be a good opportunity for her to see what the consequences would be if he took it out of the sect.
It may not be clear if we look at Feng Pu and Yuan Ping's actions alone, but if we put their actions together, we will find that they may want someone to leave the sect with a jade pendant containing important information.
