Chapter 292 Rewards
Chapter 292 Rewards
Regarding the actions of these qi practicing disciples, Xu Chuniang paid little attention, and was naturally unaware of these details.
After she returned to her cave, she entered the small world.
This time, the wine shop owner had placed an order for two thousand pounds, one thousand pounds each of Pearl Drunk and Spirit Dew Fragrance.
She had brewed some earlier, which was just enough. Right now there was no need to brew any more.
Xu Chuniang walked near the spiritual fields and used her Spirit Silk Technique to probe the six spiritual fields filled with apricot flowers, and after seeing that everything was as normal, she then executed the Rain Transformation Decree to water the spiritual fields.
The days resumed calmly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and it was time for the spirit rice to ripen.
During this period, in addition to upgrading the quality of the seventh and eighth Grade 1 spirit fields and planting apricot flowers, Xu Chuniang brewed wine twice more and sent it over to the wine shop, finally consuming all the pearl rice.
And the spirit wine brewed from these pearl rice brought in equally amazing earnings, removing some of the costs of brewing, earning back a full 170,000 spirit stones.
To know, this was only half a year’s income.
This didn’t even count the income that Apricot Ruohua could bring in, after all, Apricot Ruohua matured once every two years, and it would take at least a year before it matured.
Xu Chuniang calculated in her heart that if the sales of spirit wine continued, it would be three hundred and forty thousand spirit stones in a whole year.
Converted into contribution points, there would be 170,000 of them.
At this rate, it would only take more than eight years to pay off the debt she was carrying.
Eight years, that wasn’t too long.
Xu Chuniang returned to her senses, took out an inverted gourd-shaped spirit vessel, and began to collect the spirit rice.
With the activation of her spiritual qi, a large amount of spiritual rice was absorbed into this odd-looking spiritual artifact, which was then pocketed.
No more, no less, still one hundred and eighty bags.
After arranging this batch of freshly harvested spirit rice neatly, Xu Chuniang’s figure disappeared and appeared in the cave, heading towards the spirit field outside the cave.
Of the ten spirit fields outside the cave mansion, only one was originally a grade two spirit field, while the other nine were all grade one inferior.
And now, of those spiritual fields tended by the disciples, except for one that was still of Grade 1 Lower Grade quality, the other eight had all been upgraded to Grade 1 Middle Grade.
These qi practicing disciples gathered together, some of them looking calm and feeling that they had done their best.
Some had apprehensive faces, not knowing whether or not Master Xu was satisfied with the results at the moment.
The only fourth level Qi Practicing disciple present had a look of unease flashing across his face.
Her cultivation level was slightly lower than the others, which was why even after a year of hard work, she hadn’t been able to raise the quality of her spiritual field.
I don’t know if Senior Uncle Xu would blame her for this ……
Just as they were each thinking about their own thoughts, they saw a green colored figure walk over, and it was none other than Xu Chuniang.
On her way over, her divine sense swept over the spirit field, and she already had an understanding of the situation.
Overall, she was still relatively satisfied with this result.
Although the quality of one of the spirit fields hadn’t been upgraded, it was understandable considering that disciple’s cultivation level.
“Your commissions this year were accomplished quite well. This is your reward for this year. I hope to continue working hard in the next few years.”
Saying that, she handed out the spirit stones and that she had prepared long ago.
“Many thanks, Uncle Xu!”
The disciples lightly breathed a sigh of relief and one by one, they came forward to receive the spirit stones with a look of relief on their faces.
After distributing the spirit stones, Xu Chuniang took out several gourds and distributed them one by one.
“This is some spirit wine, an extra reward for your efforts in completing the commission.” The disciples who received the spirit wine all had a look of surprise on their faces as they thanked each other.
There was that one who was more impatient and didn’t hold back to open the gourd, and his eyes lit up after smelling the fragrance.
“I’ve drunk this spirit wine before, it’s Manna Fragrance!”
“What kind of wine is Manna Fragrance, why have I never heard of it?”
“You don’t drink since you don’t know, this is the new spirit wine in the last few months, anyway, it’s not cheap, a gourd like this has to be sold for forty spirit stones.”
After learning the price of this spirit wine, the joy on their faces could barely be hidden, and they were even more secretly determined to work harder in the next few years.
The fourth level qi cultivation disciple who didn’t manage to raise the grade of her spirit field was still a little taken back when she got the gourd, did she have a share in this reward?
Seeing that the spirit wine had been distributed, there were two disciples at the sixth level of Qi cultivation who hadn’t gotten it.
They waited for a while longer and realized that Senior Uncle Xu had no intention of taking any more spirit wine out, and after looking at each other in disbelief, they finally couldn’t help but open their mouths.
“Senior Uncle Xu, that, the spirit wine …… for both of us isn t it.”
As they spoke, they felt the sights cast by the others, and their faces inexplicably burned a little, not being able to continue to finish the sentence.
Although the words were not finished, everyone looked at their empty hands and quickly understood what the two were trying to ask, and for a while each had their own thoughts.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the two, her expression bland.
“As I said earlier, the spirit wine was given out as an additional reward. But with the strength of the two of you, there’s no reason why the amount of spiritual qi in your spiritual fields should be less than that of a few senior brothers and sisters at the fifth level of qi cultivation.”
The immediate implication was that the two of them would not be penalized for completing the commission, but because they were not as dedicated as the others, there was no extra reward.
The two of them blanched, a faint feeling of weakness and regret rising in their hearts.
They held that their cultivation level was higher, and they wanted to spend more time on cultivation, so they were not particularly attentive when tending to the spiritual fields in general.
Moreover, with the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi cultivation, the two of them simply couldn’t see the subtle difference between the spiritual fields, and only felt that their progress was similar to that of the others.
Unexpectedly, this point was discovered by Uncle Xu, but thinking that Liu Yujiao, who was at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, was able to obtain this spirit wine, they were still somewhat unconvinced.
“Senior Sister Liu Yujiao clearly only has a cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Practicing, and the spiritual fields that she is looking after have not been able to rise in grade, so why is she able to receive this extra reward?”
When these words came out, Liu Yujiao, who was originally secretly happy, suddenly trembled, and subconsciously also felt that she shouldn’t take this reward.
“Liu Yujiao’s cultivation is low, and it’s good that her progress is lagging behind the crowd, but with her cultivation, she’s already doing her best to be able to do this. As for the two of you, I will only ask, did you try your best?”
In the face of Uncle Xu’s straightforward explanation and questioning, cold sweat gradually seeped out from the two disciples at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, as if all of their petty thoughts had been exposed.
“Disciples know that they are wrong.”
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze from the two.
“If you have merit, you will be rewarded, if you have faults, you will be punished, if you have no merit and no faults, naturally there is no reward or punishment, since you have made a choice, you must accept the corresponding results.”
Although these two disciples weren’t dedicated enough, they didn’t do less than what they should have done, so there was no reward or punishment.
The two of them obviously also understood this, their faces revealed a look of shame, and they secretly resolved in their hearts that in the next few years, they would have to work hard.
After handing out the rewards, Xu Chuniang returned to the cave, still using half of her mind to meditate, while the other half entered the array disk, continuing the final deduction.
In the formation disk handed over to her by Senior Brother Zhuo, there were a total of eight formations, and she had already cracked seven of them.
Without any surprises, this last layer of formations would soon be completely cracked.
