Eternal Life Begins with Bug-Refining

  Chapter 18 Alcohol Gu

   Xu heard the news that he was going to recruit three people to serve in Lingzhi Church, and came to serve him.

  Now that I am alone and weak, they can still come to contribute, and they should not be treated badly, and they will lose their hearts.

  Chen Qing walked over, and with a shake of his hand, six middle-grade spirit stones appeared in his hand.

   One person stuffed two in his hand, and said calmly: "Come to Lingzhi Church to see me tomorrow."

  The three felt the weight of the middle-grade spirit stone in their hands, each looked at each other and quickly stuffed them into their arms, and said in unison: "Yes, hall master!"

  At night, Chen Qing entrusted Yu Qingshuang to borrow the daily account books of Lingzhi Church to find out the stock of elixir in Wuyou Mountain.

   There are quite a lot of types of elixir to be planted, but those are reserved to avoid urgent needs, and they are not too critical.

  The key is three kinds of hard currency, spiritual ginseng, sword heart grass, and Gu spirit grass.

  Spiritual ginseng is related to improving the cultivation level, Gu Lingcao is the daily needs of Gu insects, and Sword Heart Grass is a regular item for sword Gu to promote and heal injuries.

  Elder Ling Zhi was in charge of Gu Lingcao before, but there were quite a few.

  The reserves of spiritual ginseng are only more than three hundred catties, and the reserves of sword heart grass are even less, only a mere ten catties.

   No wonder they value me so much!

  The shortage of spiritual ginseng and sword heart grass is too big, and they have to be purchased outside.

  Early the next morning, I heard that Elder Ling Zhi had gone out to visit friends early, so Chen Qing and Yu Qingshuang sat at the same table.

  Chen Qing looked at the slightly weird noodles in front of him, took a sip, and unexpectedly tasted good.

   "Sister did it?"

  Yu Qingshuang ate the noodles with a calm expression, "Grandma and grandpa went out to visit friends together."

  Chen Qing thought to himself: I didn't expect this senior sister who practiced swords to be good at cooking, but the appearance is not very good.

  Placing on the clothes of the master of Lingzhi Hall newly sent by the sect, Chen Qing looked at himself in the bronze mirror, feeling a little more majestic.

  When Chen Qing entered Lingzhi Church, the courtyard was already full of people.

   All sixteen members of Lingzhi Church were here, and when Chen Qing entered the door, they called out one after another: "See the hall master."

  Chen Qing walked to the center of the lobby of Lingzhi Hall, glanced at the main seat of the hall master, turned around and sat down in the first place on the left hand side of the lobby.

   "Sit down."

  Wait for everyone to sit down, Chen Qing said: "Now that I, Chen Qing, have received the errand of the sect, then this Lingzhi hall is my business now."

   "Do you have any comments?"

  Everyone looked at each other and thought in their hearts: Now Lingzhi Church has no hall master, and Chen Qing, the deputy hall master, is basically the same as the hall master.

   What's more, Elder Ling Zhi went out to visit friends when Chen Qing was on duty for the first time today.

  By the way, he brought everyone in the family except his granddaughter, and Chen Qing lived in Elder Lingzhi's house again.

  Lonely men and widows, who doesn’t understand what Elder Lingzhi means?

  Wang Ye saw that these people hadn't moved for a long time, and immediately took the lead and said: "Now Lingzhi Church has no hall master, so naturally the hall master is respected!"

   Others echoed.

  Chen Qing glanced at everyone, they were all middle-aged and elderly practitioners, and it was right to think that they would only work in the sect if the Gu worms could not move up.

  Young people who still have a little bit of thought, are doing outside work by themselves, in order to have a better future.

   It’s okay, at least they don’t have too much thought, and they can’t make any waves.

   "The most important thing now is to plant the spiritual ginseng and sword heart grass, which will only be harvested this year."

   "Zongmen means to open up one hundred acres of spiritual ginseng fields and twenty acres of sword heart grass fields."

   "In my opinion, this is not enough. One hundred and twenty acres of spiritual ginseng fields should be opened up."

   "Senior Brother Zhou, you often come to Lingzhi Garden on duty. Knowing the situation here, you lead seven people to take care of the current Lingzhi Garden."

   Zhou Ke smiled when he heard the words, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Yes, hall master."

  Chen Qing said again: "Brother Wang, your Gu worm is Green Bull Gu, which is very effective in opening up spiritual fields. You led seven people to gather mortals to open up spiritual ginseng fields and sword heart grass fields."

  Wang Ye got up immediately and said, "Yes, hall master."

  Chen Qing continued: "Everyone, Elder Lingzhi was in charge of Lingzhi Church in the past. He is old and lacks skills, so the management may be loose."

   "But today, since I, Chen Qing, have entered the Lingzhi Church, I should be full of vigor."

   "If this year's errands are done well, I will be the master, and each person will receive twenty pots of ginseng wine at the end of the year!"

  In fact, everyone thought it was okay before, but they just felt that Chen Qing's work was reasonable.

   After all, it was newly developed, and Chen Qing was responsible for taking care of it, and they usually just looked after it.

  But now, everyone's enthusiasm is completely different. Twenty pots of ginseng wine, according to the current market price, is two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

   They can save more than a hundred low-grade spirit stones every month in the field work, and these twenty pots of ginseng wine are almost worth two months' monthly salary.

  Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with joy. With these twenty pots of ginseng wine, plus the monthly salary, they are almost comparable to those disciples who work outside.

  The most important thing is that their current jobs are very stable, and they don't need to go out to pick up jobs by themselves.

  The errands of Lingzhi Church, from the previous drudgery, suddenly became a favorite.

   Chen Qing saw that everyone was happy, and continued: "Don't go back directly at night, let's go to Mingyue Tower for a drink."

   Thank you, everyone.

  Chen Qing winked at Wang Ye and Zhou Ke, and they left to work with everyone.

  Chen Qing stood up, "Senior Brother Li He, follow me, we will discuss something with Senior Brother Gongsunxiu in the training hall."

  Not long after they went out, they bumped into Gongsun Xiu head-on as they were walking up the mountain.

   Gongsun Xiu saw that it was Chen Qing and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Chen, I was just looking for you."

  Chen Qing asked: "I just happened to be looking for my brother."

  Gongsun Xiu stretched out his hand to invite: "Then come to my place?"

  Walking all the way, the smell of wine became stronger and stronger, and when we arrived at the training hall, the surroundings were already full of wine fragrance.

  Sitting down in the living room of the training hall, Chen Qing asked, "I don't know why Brother Gongsunxiu is looking for me?"

  Gongsun Xiudao: "Junior Brother Chen, your annual salary has been fixed, eight thousand six hundred low-grade spirit stones."

   "You are the first hall master, the master of the mountain misses your loneliness, and grants you permission to receive one year's annual salary in advance."

   "Whenever you want, come to me and get it."

  Chen Qing was overjoyed. Originally, he wanted to pay some spiritual stones on credit from the Zongmen, but now it is better.

   There are two hundred more low-grade spirit stones than Ye Yuntian's news.

  Chen Qing cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you, brother."

   "I don't know if there is alcohol gu here, brother."

  Gongsun Xiu thought for a moment, "Do you want to make your own wine?"

  Chen Qing pretended to be angry, "Yesterday that Xiao humiliated me too much and made fun of me for being low, so I came up with this idea."

   "It's always more convenient to make wine and practice by yourself."

   "Brother, please don't blame me, I definitely don't mean to underestimate my brother."

  Gongsun Xiu pondered for a moment, "There are still three wine Gu in the training hall."

   "If someone else came looking for it, I would definitely not give it to you, but since Junior Brother Chen asked, then I dare not shirk."

  Chen Qing naturally knew the reason. He would soon have a large amount of spiritual ginseng resources in his hands, which made the cultivation hall greedy.

  When Chen Qing was not the head of Lingzhi Hall, the structure of Wuyou Mountain was actually rather deformed.

  Because there is not a lot of elixir, so I can only rely on the cooperation of War Hall and Shadow Hall to take risks outside, obtain resources, and buy spirit ginseng to make wine after selling.

  This has caused the inventory of Worry-free Mountain to be low and unstable.

  Once Chen Qing can produce a large amount of spiritual ginseng, the stability of the entire Wuyou Mountain will increase.

  So although Chen Qing's cultivation is low now, her status is not low.

  Gongsun Xiu stood up and led the way, "Junior Brother Chen follows me."

  Chen Qing closed his fists and almost wanted to clap his hands.

   It's done, the wine gu is in hand!
