Chapter 40: Under the comfort of Mu Yuan, Zhong Lingyue...
With Mu Yuan's comfort, Zhong Lingyue had to accept the fact that her efforts were in vain no matter how unwilling she was. Fortunately, Mu Yuan would teach her the "Soul Secret", so it would not be in vain.
However, due to the agreement, Mu Yuan will teach the content before the Nascent Soul stage to Wei Mubai and Lei Xiao. After they take it back, they will naturally share it with the family members.
Then Mu Yuan would not hide it from his family. He would talk about the skills after the Nascent Soul stage first. Before that, Zhong Xinyue would have the opportunity to learn it.
Zhong Lingyue felt suffocated when she thought about getting the upper hand over that woman. She had been doing this in circles, and she was simply making things worse for her. This person was also her most hated rival in love. She felt so sick!
So she didn't care about anything else and left angrily.
Seeing this, the others followed suit. What was originally a simple training mission turned out to be so thrilling that everyone suffered serious injuries.
They had to rush back as soon as possible to train and heal their injuries, as the Tianjiao Competition would be held in a few days, so they couldn't be careless.
On the way back, Xu Hui was reviewing the harvest in her mind.
All in all, she and Wei Mubai gained the most. They obtained three different inheritances, a medium-sized spiritual vein from Lei Xiao, and a promise from Mu Yuan. This time they really got a big bargain.
It seems that if there is a chance in the future, we can bring the protagonists together. The combined luck is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
The fact that a Qi Refining Stage test could be turned into such a mess must be the ultimate result achieved after the collision of Qi and destiny.
Kung Fu, formation, puppet, which one of the three is not a god-level existence?
It is entirely possible to help a family become a family that is on par with the top ten families, and they got it all.
This luck is amazing!
But next time there is a scene like this, I have to be extra careful. I almost died in it this time.
It might be even more dangerous next time. Hmm, I really should strengthen my training. Only when my strength is improved can I not be afraid of risks, survive in extreme situations and take advantage of opportunities.
"Odds change, but evens remain the same," a testing voice suddenly came from beside her as she was thinking.
"What?" Xu Hui's brain hadn't reacted yet. She was arranging her subsequent training plan and replied casually.
When Wan Moxiao saw that she didn't answer, his expression became strange for a moment. "Palace Jade Wine?"
"I've never drunk alcohol before, so I don't know what kind of wine this is?" Xu Hui finally reacted. Wan Moxiao suspected that he was also a time traveler and was testing her.
Not wanting to expose herself, she asked back with a puzzled look on her face, "Why did you mention wine for no reason?" "It's a rare and valuable item that can improve your cultivation. I'll give you a few bottles when I get back to thank you for saving my life." Wan Moxiao was still skeptical, so she made up an excuse and continued to test him, "Do your parents know you're here?"
"Ah?" Xu Hui's expression became even more bewildered. "Did mom and dad mean parents? They've already been reincarnated."
Xu Hui felt that her performance at this moment was extremely natural, worthy of being a Hollywood actress.
Hearing this answer, Wan Moxiao breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that it’s not the case.
With her as a book traveler, the plot has already collapsed into such a mess, and she doesn't want to add another variable.
I was relieved to know that Xu Hui was not who I had guessed.
It's not her fault. The woman who didn't originally appear in the book and became the fiancée of the important male supporting character is really suspicious.
Moreover, several times when accidents happened, she seemed to be there, and I couldn't help but think about it.
Now she no longer has any doubts. She thinks that if Xu Hui really traveled through time, she would never curse her previous parents, so she must be a local.
However, what she didn't know was that Xu Hui did not lie or curse, her parents had indeed been reincarnated, and it was she who made it happen.
Wan Moxiao thought he had figured out the answer, so he happily took a few steps forward, took Qi Leixiao's hand, shook it three times, and had a big smile on his face.
This time he gained a lot. Not only did he get a substitute puppet for Lei Xiao, but he also learned the art of puppetry and can make them himself. In the future, he can have as many puppets as he wants, and his safety is more guaranteed.
With such a good fiancé, she will never be as miserable as the female supporting character in the book!
And you can also learn the most magical skill in the book, "Yuan Shen Jue", which is really an unexpected surprise!
Although it is only a part, it is already a huge benefit. It can make the soul several times stronger, and it will not be easy to encounter bottlenecks in future promotions.
As for the rest of the content, she would find a way to exchange it with Mu Yuan.
The male protagonist has good character, otherwise the female protagonist and the supporting female character would not be so devoted to him.
I believe that as long as there is enough exchange of interests, everything can be negotiated.
By the way, in the book, Mu Yuan experienced several life and death ordeals. If she had taken action to save his life or help him, she would have been able to get the following content.
She was still happy, not knowing that her appearance had caught the attention of two sisters, Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue.
As a result, he was plotted against by them and almost lost his life.
Xu Hui noticed that the two sisters' eyes were looking at each other strangely, so she quietly walked to the other side of Wei Mubai, using her tall stature to block the two sisters' inquiring gazes.
Wei Mubai noticed it, frowned slightly and looked over.
Zhong Xinyue immediately pursed her lips and avoided his gaze. After all, it was her fault for the Qianxia Pill incident. Miss Wei San is still lying in the hospital bed.
Therefore, when facing Wei Mubai, he always felt guilty and short of breath.
Zhong Lingyue was different. She regretted missing out on the benefits that she could have gained as Wei Mubai's fiancée. She succeeded in plotting against Zhong Xinyue, but she ended up being acquired by an unknown woman, which made her very unhappy.
But it’s not that I hate Xu Hui, after all, Zhong Xinyue is the troublemaker.
After understanding the cause and effect with the Zhong family, Wei Mubai has the right to choose a new fiancée, but unfortunately that fiancée is not her.
Otherwise, with so many resources, would she still worry about her talent and cultivation not being as good as Zhong Xinyue's?
Therefore, she was more or less jealous of Xu Hui, but Wei Mubai's protection of Xu Hui was obvious. The Wei family was well-known for protecting their people, and she would not offend them easily. Therefore, she adjusted her attitude and smiled at him.
Wei Mubai turned around, pulled Xu Hui onto the spiritual sword, and flew back directly.
After returning to the Wei family residence, he arranged the harvest and handed it all over to Wei Muheng, then went into seclusion to practice and recuperate.
This time, the base was much more lively, with many disciples from the same clan coming. They would also participate in the Tianjiao Competition, but unlike Wei Mubai who advanced directly to the finals, they had fought their way up bit by bit.
Wei Muheng was in charge personally. He was already a master in the out-of-body stage, and his cultivation level was similar to that of the heads and elders of the Shi family, so it was not out of place for him to sit together.
What's more, the head of the Wei family had handed over family affairs to him a long time ago. After handling them for so many years, he has long been the actual person in charge of the Wei family.
"Sister-in-law, a batch of the planting array plates you want has been refined. Go and see the effect?" Seeing that she was not in a hurry to practice, Wei Muheng knew what she was thinking and invited her with a smile.
"Okay," Xu Hui also thought so. Her cultivation had reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. This time she would be in seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, which might take some time, so she wanted to arrange all the miscellaneous matters in advance.
However, the speed still surprised her. How long has it taken to complete it?
Wei Muheng smiled without saying a word, and extended his hand to lead the way.
They walked through the hall, several courtyards, and came to the plantation at the back.
The Wei family residence covers a very large area. In addition to the yard in the front, there are also a flower garden, a medicine garden, as well as a planting area and a breeding area in the back.
"These are them." From the outside, you wouldn't think it was just a small plantation, but after coming in, you'll find that it covers at least tens of thousands of acres.
This certainly cannot be the original area. How could the Immortal City have such a large piece of land for the major families to use? It was because of the use of space expansion magic.
In a corner of the plantation, ten formation gardens were set up, five of which were planted with first-level Star Spirit Grass and five were planted with second-level Poison Ghost Vine.
Xu Hui went in and checked one by one carefully, and found that the environment inside the formation basically met the requirements. Although it deviated from the natural growth conditions, it was enough for the spiritual plants inside to thrive.
Looking at the plants again, they have sprouted new leaves and are growing well.
"Ten days after planting, the seedlings have sprouted. At this rate, a batch of them can be grown in forty days. This batch of Star Spirit Grass consists of about five hundred plants, each worth 10 to 30 low-grade spirit stones, depending on the quality after harvest. If it has 60% to 70% medicinal properties, it will be worth 30 spirit stones, while if it has 30% to 40% medicinal properties, it will only be worth 10 spirit stones." Wei Muheng introduced.
Xu Hui closed her eyes and felt it. "It seems that the spiritual energy is very abundant at the moment. Are the spiritual stones used in the formation plate high-grade?"
"No," Wei Muheng's eyes flashed with a smile, "Qianxia Zhenjun is very interested in your idea and will personally study and refine it. Each time, only one medium-grade spirit stone is needed."
Zhenjun Qianxia is the daughter of the fourth elder of the Wei family. She is in the Nascent Soul stage and is one of the few weapon refiners in the Wei family. Her weapon refining skills are outstanding and are no worse than those of the Mu family.
After her research and transformation, the first-level Star Spirit Grass Array Plate and the second-level Poison Ghost Vine Array Plate can now be mass-produced. As long as the Wei family's weapon refiners put their heart into it, they can learn it.
The materials needed to refine an array plate are about fifty low-grade spirit stones, and one array plate can be used five times.
Harvesting five batches of Star Spirit Grass can earn you about 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the cost is only 550 low-grade spirit stones.
Of course, this also needs to deduct labor costs and seeds, which is also a huge profit!
This is still the lowest level of Star Spirit Grass. Higher levels and more precious medicinal plants can earn more money.
"If we use puppets for planting, will the cost be lower?" Xu Hui thought of the puppets in the illusion that were equivalent to planting robots. If the array plate was equipped with puppets, labor costs would be directly saved and the profit would be greater.
Wei Muheng's smile deepened, "That's good, but you can't do that."
Xu Hui was stunned. "Why?"
"The Wei family has more than 600 direct disciples, 8,000 bloodline disciples, 30,000 inherited disciples, and more than 100,000 inner and outer disciples. These are the backbone of the Wei family and have made contributions to protecting and developing the Wei family. At the same time, the Wei family distributes allowances to support them. But in addition to these, their family members or relatives will also take a job in the Wei family, which is mutually beneficial." Wei Muheng explained.
"Is he a menial disciple?" Xu Hui still had only a vague understanding of the internal structure of this kind of cultivation family. It was different from the dynasty she understood, but the number of people was huge, comparable to that of an ancient country, and there were many subordinate family heads under it, which were equivalent to princes.
But their management model is completely different from that of the dynasty and those of the ancient aristocratic families.
At least in ancient times, aristocratic families were linked by blood ties, but this is not entirely the case here.
Take the so-called direct disciples for example. The line of the head of the Wei family is the main direct branch, and they also have secondary direct branches, all of which are direct bloodlines. The twelve elders of the first generation are the biological sons and daughters of the first generation head of the Wei family.
Afterwards, in addition to the main branch, it gradually evolved into a system where the elders and the capable ones took over, and the descendants of the ten elders were the direct disciples.
But after thousands of years of development, there are only more than 600 people so far, and more than half of them died along the way. The rest have either ascended to heaven or married off.
Therefore, the number of people is actually not that large compared to the huge Wei family.
The bloodline disciples are the children born to the married daughters, who eventually return to the Wei family. They may have encountered some misfortunes and abandoned their original families to join the Wei family.
Either their family has fallen on hard times and they have no one to rely on, or they simply marry ordinary cultivators, leaving them without a family, and their children return to the Wei family.
The Wei family, or any other aristocratic family, is like this. There is a very strange rule.
If a woman from the Wei family marries a man, her children will take the Wei family surname, and they will be the direct descendants of the Wei family. After she gets married, her children will take the surname of her husband's family, and when they come back, they can only be bloodline disciples.
Even though the surname was later changed back to Wei, it was in the family tree of the branch, not the direct line.
As for the inherited disciples, they are the direct disciples accepted by the Wei family and enjoy the same treatment as the master's biological children.
The same is true for inner and outer disciples, except that their qualifications are not as good as those of direct disciples, so their treatment is naturally much worse. However, as long as they work hard to earn points, they can also exchange them for resources suitable for their own cultivation.
And these people all need to receive a share of the money from the Wei family.
The Wei family's allowance is divided into two systems. One is based on status. Different identities have different treatments. For example, Wei Muheng and Wei Mubai were born to the same parents, but because Wei Muheng is the young master and Wei Mubai is only the second young master, there is a difference in their allowance.
This regulation is very detailed. The direct lineage, branches, inherited disciples, and inner and outer sects are all differentiated according to their identities.
But this is just the basic allowance, with very little in it, and it is basically used to ensure that children who are not yet able to practice, or those who are seriously injured and dying, can grow up safely and survive.
The second set is the real bulk of the ration, which is divided according to the level of personal cultivation. The Qi Refining Stage is different from the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Foundation Establishment Stage is different from the Golden Core Stage.
Therefore, even if you are an outer disciple, if you cultivate to the foundation-building stage, you will naturally get more resources than the inner disciples in the Qi-refining stage.
This solves the fairness issue on a large scale.
But absolute fairness, in a sense, is the greatest unfairness!
