本来闹腾的要死要活的死活不愿意来酒楼的人来了之后才发现这简直就是少殿主为他们准备的大大的惊喜。在酒楼之中又如何，被人指指点点又如何，只要每天能看到这些可爱的灵药，就是去打杂也没什么关系。
Back in the evening, after everyone had settled down and gathered, the alchemists recalled the painful events of the past few days, and each of them was filled with gloom. The twenty-odd alchemists working at the restaurant, however, wore silly, goofy smiles every day, which was utterly jarring.
“You guys have been laughing ever since you got back, and you’re still laughing now. What’s so funny?”
"Nothing much? The head chef at the restaurant is a spirit chef, so the quality of the food has improved dramatically. We enjoyed the meal and our cultivation was also very pleasant." They wouldn't easily spread the word about the many spirit medicines the restaurant was involved in, lest these people secretly take advantage of them, eliminate a few, and fill the vacancies themselves. They've agreed on one thing: they absolutely will not leak the secret.
They lived a very comfortable life in the restaurant, reading books every day, summarizing their alchemy gains and problems, exchanging ideas, looking after the spiritual herbs, and enjoying delicious food. It's hard to believe that Fellow Daoist Qian Tu almost killed himself in just one day back then.
Hua Rong, who was still cultivating, sneezed violently. Who was thinking about him?
The alchemists in the Beast Taming Garden were also quite fortunate. Upon arrival, a manager arranged for someone to explain the characteristics, habits, and innate abilities of the spirit pets. The Beast Taming Garden was vast, so each person only needed to remember the habits of the spirit pets in their assigned area. For the first three days, someone guided them to familiarize themselves with the environment, teaching them how to interact with different spirit pets and how to communicate with them, all of which greatly benefited them.
Moreover, the spirit pets assigned to them are all relatively docile. When those adorable creatures look at you with their wet, innocent eyes, it's enough to melt your heart. Then, without realizing it, those pets become the bosses, and you become their servant.
What these alchemists found most unbearable was cleaning up the old men's excrement, but they endured it because the old men were so adorable. Life was a bittersweet experience.
The alchemists in the Spirit Herb Garden weren't so lucky; they weren't allowed to get close to the high-grade spirit herbs at all. Several head and junior managers were particularly ruthless, always with a gloomy face, appearing and disappearing mysteriously around them.
"Go and clear the weeds in this area."
"You should go fetch the spiritual water."
"You should start recording the growth of each kind of spiritual herb."
"You, hurry up and take care of those sick medicinal herbs, what are you still doing here?"
"Anyone who breaks a single spirit herb will have all their spirit stones confiscated this month."
They were treated like laborers, given no respect whatsoever. These pampered alchemists, like the outer disciples, were forced to endure this miserable existence. What happened to the promise of seeing high-grade spiritual herbs every day? What happened to learning herb-care techniques from the stewards? It was all a lie.
Ye Xiruo's explanation was correct: you can happily glimpse high-grade spiritual herbs from afar every day, and isn't the process of being driven by the manager a learning process? You are simply unaware of your good fortune. If you don't want to work here anymore, quickly give up your positions and go mining.
Threatened and intimidated by Ye Xiruo, the group of alchemists finally gave up. They had no choice; if they didn't perform well and failed the mission, they would be forced to take on a new one. Who knew what kind of bizarre mission they would be assigned? The price for not taking the mission was mining, which was simply deadly.
Having dealt with these easily fooled alchemists, Ye Xiruo felt incredibly relieved. Si Hao and Elder Danfeng were also very satisfied with Ye Xiruo's decision. Those elders who had initially voiced strong objections but ultimately had to yield, seeing the results, finally fell silent. What could they say? The young master was wise and insightful, a true visionary.
Now that Ye Xiruo had a lot of free time, she spent her days brewing spirit wine in her spatial dimension and burying it in the ground. She had Zhang Quan purchase a batch of fresh spirit fruits to brew a batch of spirit fruit wine. Then she sent several managers from the spirit fruit garden to select a large number of spirit fruit trees and plant them in Ye Ruo Palace. There were about ten trees of each type left over, which she threw into her spatial dimension. The managers didn't seem to mind; perhaps they bought so many to ensure a low survival rate and to replenish them in time. However, compared to the spirit herbs, flowers, and bamboo in other palaces, the young palace master's courtyard full of fruit trees was truly special.
That wasn't all. Ye Xiruo also had grapevines, peach blossoms, and osmanthus trees planted in Zishu's Zishu Hall. Peach blossoms are a beautiful sight in spring, and can also be used to make wine and peach blossom soup. When they ripen, there will be peaches to eat. Grapes are the eldest brother's favorite fruit and can also be used to make wine. Osmanthus has a rich fragrance and can be made into all sorts of pastries, such as osmanthus sugar crisps, osmanthus cakes, and osmanthus biscuits. Dried osmanthus can also be used to make tea, and adding a little osmanthus to glutinous rice balls or sweet porridge is also excellent.
Therefore, Ye Xiruo was quite satisfied with her arrangements. As for whether her senior brother was satisfied, wasn't that obvious? As long as she made a few promises, her senior brother probably wouldn't mind such a small matter.
Of course, Ye Xiruo also threw the remaining grapevines, osmanthus trees, and peach trees into her spatial storage. She just didn't know when the space would upgrade, and she felt that if she planted all the spiritual trees, fruits, and vegetables in this area, there would be no place to grow medicinal herbs. Ye Xiruo was very sad.
"System, when will the space be upgraded?!"
"It's still early."
"Snow bamboo, Vajra bamboo, and all these spirit fruit trees, isn't the spiritual energy enough?"
"The space is closely related to you. If your cultivation level is not high enough, you will naturally be unable to level up."
Oh, so it was she who dragged the space down. Ye Xiruo pouted. Her cultivation speed was already off the charts, okay? If it were any faster, she might capsize.
"If we don't upgrade, we don't upgrade." Ye Xiruo was in the space, holding paper and pen, writing and drawing plans on how to utilize these lands.
Let's plant peach trees by the stream—romantic! Let's plant grapevines next to the thatched cottage—convenient. Let's plant osmanthus next to the Vajra bamboo—the colors will match. The spirit fruit garden, planted directly near the Seven-Colored Divine Spring, is rich in spiritual energy, making the spirit fruits even tastier. Let's plant spirit vegetables and spirit rice not far from the thatched cottage—convenient to eat.
That's settled then! First, plant the peach and osmanthus trees, then plant various spirit fruits. Since it's close to the Seven-Colored Divine Spring, we don't need to water it with spirit water; some stream water will suffice. Then, take out some spirit stones and set up a mid-level spirit-gathering array.
Having invested so much, oh, spirit fruit, you must ripen quickly!
