Sect Contribution for Farming

"Oh, Senior Brother Teng, please explain in detail."

Chen Mobai immediately became interested.

"Junior Brother Chen has outstanding Spiritual Root and has already Late Qi Cultivation Refining at a young age. I imagine he will also strive for the position of True Disciple, since only by becoming a True Disciple can one be qualified to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills."

Teng Jie's words were correct. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but did not hide his feelings and nodded directly.

"With Junior Brother Chen's age and talent, he is sure to have a bright future. Our Senior Brother Liu from the Spiritual Plant Department Foundation Establishment Failure last month and his cultivation level dropped. He should step down from his position as a true disciple in the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun frowned slightly, but remembering the three hundred contribution points that Senior Brother Liu had borrowed from him for the Foundation Establishment, he kept quiet.

" Among the Twenty-Four True Disciples of the sect, our Spiritual Plant Department is guaranteed one spot. After Senior Brother Liu Foundation Establishment Failure, he has already damaged his vital energy and owes everyone a lot of Sect Contribution. Until he pays them off, he definitely cannot return to the ranks of true disciples."

"After Senior Brother Liu, the one who should have succeeded him as a true disciple in the Spiritual Plant Department was Senior Brother Li Li Senior Brother Liu's."

"If Junior Brother Chen joins my Spiritual Plant Department and works hard there for ten years, and by the time the next batch of Foundation Establishment is completed, you will be at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Refining. Whether you compete with Senior Brother Li Li or earn another spot for a true disciple for my Spiritual Plant Department, it will be better than you being alone in the mountains."

These words stirred Chen Mobai's heart.

Indeed, while the Divine Wood Sect only requires 10,000 Sect Contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment, there are actually many hidden rules in the meantime.

For example, priority should be given to those who have received genuine teachings.

The true teachings are further arranged according to the order of seniority.

Within the sequence, those that have never undergone Foundation Establishment have a higher priority than those that Foundation Establishment Failure once.

Chen Mobai's original plan was to wait a few years until he reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, then choose a True Disciple with no background to challenge during the Sect Grand Competition and take his place.

However, after hearing Teng Jie's words, he understood that if he did this and succeeded, wouldn't he become a true disciple without a background, someone that could be challenged by other disciples? If he joined the Spiritual Plant Department, although he might be a little busier, at least he would have a tree to shelter him from the wind and rain in the Divine Wood Sect.

But isn't it a bit too early to join now?

Chen Mobai was still hesitating. He was focused on Qi Cultivation Perfection and didn't want to waste time on anything else.

"Junior Brother Chen, there's another crucial point in exchanging Foundation Establishment, I wonder if you've considered it yet."

Just then, Teng Jie spoke up again.

"It's Sect Contribution points, right?"

Chen Mobai understood immediately and pointed out the key point.

Teng Jie nodded and explained the details to this new disciple of the sect.

"The Sect Contribution points are linked to Spirit Stone. The sect contribution points awarded to the completer are equal to the value of most sect missions in Sect Contribution Spirit Stone. This means that we need to earn 10,000 Spirit Stone for the sect to accumulate enough Sect Contribution to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Among all the sect missions, there are a very few exceptions. Because they are too small in scale, yield too little, and no one is willing to do them, but they are still essential to the sect, the Reward Hall will adjust the contribution ratio to guide sect disciples to do these kinds of missions."

"This kind of field is one of them."

"Other tasks only require 1 Spirit Stone to equal 1 point of Sect Contribution, while farming takes almost a year to harvest. During this time, it requires constantly using Spirit Needle Technique to kill insects, Rainfall Technique to irrigate, and preventing attacks from birds and beasts. The harvest is not proportional to the effort, which has led to hundreds of acres of Spirit Field in my Divine Wood Sect being abandoned. All the disciples who understand Spirit Plant have applied to maintain the medicinal fields."

"Because the value of a single top-grade first-rank Herb is equivalent to the harvest of an acre of Spirit Field."

"After Qi Refining cultivators have undergone Tendon Cleansing Marrow Washing, in order to avoid being tainted by the mundane things in grains, they eat Spirit Rice in addition to Bigu Pill. If no one goes to farm, are we supposed to have Foundation Establishment Elder or even the two patriarchs do it themselves?"

"Therefore, in order to encourage disciples to farm, the sect specially adjusted the Sect Contribution for farming, increasing it to tenfold. But even so, many disciples choose to give up after a year of farming, feeling that they have put in too much effort but not enough reward."

"If Junior Brother Chen is willing to show his skills, even if he can't take care of too many Spirit Field by himself, he can guide some newly entered disciples and contribute one-tenth of the harvest."

"After ten years, I'm afraid that when it comes to exchanging Foundation Establishment, I won't even need to borrow from my fellow disciples."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai was completely moved.

So farming is really that profitable?

However, this is mainly because he has superb farming skills from the Immortal Sect, and the spiritual energy in Giant Wood Ridge is abundant.

"Since you are so sincere, senior brother, I would be impolite to refuse."

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

So Chen Mobai immediately followed the two to Divine Wood City in the center of Giant Wood Ridge.

This is also the only place in Giant Wood Ridge where mortals live, because outside the city lies a vast thousand-acre medicinal field, which is also the heart of the Divine Wood Sect.

There are many spiritual herbs, Spiritual Plant Department is short-handed, so some ordinary spiritual herbs are entrusted to the mortal descendants of the disciples for care.

The Three Halls Twelve Departments all have offices in Divine Wood City. Nearly 80% of the disciples in the Spiritual Plant Department are here to take care of the medicinal fields.

After Lu Jun and Teng Jie handed over the Jade Sprout Spirit Rice from their storage bags to the department manager in charge of storage, they considered it a departmental task completed.

After the Spiritual Plant Department confirms acceptance, Chen Mobai goes to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to swipe his Divine Wood Sect disciple badge and finds that he has gained 458 Sect Contribution.

Although one point of Sect Contribution is equivalent to one Spirit Stone, the price increases by about 20% in private transfers.

"Junior Brother Chen, you and Junior Brother Teng wait here for a moment."

Although I was invited, I still need to inform my superiors.

Lu Jun walked in with a smile, but immediately came out with a strange expression.

"Junior brothers, please come in together."

Walking into a large lobby with many chairs, I found quite a few people sitting there.

The three men at the head of the group lined up in front of a huge map, each with a different expression as they drank tea.

Below the three of them, there were seven or eight Divine Wood Sect disciples sitting on both sides. The one on the left, who was in charge, had a pale face and seemed to have suffered a great loss of energy. The one on the right, who was in charge, had sallow skin and large hands and feet, and looked like an old farmer.

After Chen Mobai and the other two entered, one of the chubby Foundation Establishment Cultivator pointed to an empty seat in the corner, Lu Jun immediately led them to sit there and listen in.
