Emergency Meeting
Those who enjoy rights must also abide by their obligations.
Since the newlyweds at the foot of the mountain have enjoyed the protection of the puppet regime, they should abide by its rules and regulations.
Mo Yuanjiao and the others, of course, simply copied whatever was available for convenience.
This rulebook contains quite a few clauses, densely packed and strictly regulated from beginning to end.
Most people had no objections after reading it for a while, and even if a small number had objections, they were persuaded and convinced by the pillars of their own household who had already joined the pseudo-base.
After all, even villages have village rules, let alone sects.
Although this sect is not large, I heard that this is just a newly built branch of the Lingxian Sect in Yuanling City.
After registering with his family, Zhang Xunye followed a steward from the Yuan Household to the site of the homestead allocated to them.
On the way, his parents and wife mentioned to him that they wanted to try applying for a job as an unofficial Spirit Plant nurse here.
"This... I've already joined the sect, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to become unofficial Spirit Plant growers?" Zhang Xunye hesitated upon hearing this.
He worried that since he had already joined the sect, if his family members also became Spirit Plant growers for the sect, the sect might think he was taking advantage of them and wouldn't have a good impression of him.
What if they think he's greedy and expel him from the sect?
Having never been a member of a sect before, he cherishes the opportunity to join one in his middle age and will be even more careful and cautious.
Knowing his father's worries, Zhang's father told him, "We just asked a manager, and he said it's not a problem. Anyone can apply, and as long as they pass the assessment, they can be assigned to cultivate the spirit fields."
His wife chimed in, "The person in charge also said that as long as we focus on our work, there might be other benefits in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xunye was quite tempted and immediately nodded in agreement to his family's request to apply for the job.
Fifty newlyweds, along with their families, headed to their assigned plots of land to begin building their homes. While the initial priority was simply to create a habitable place, with other aspects to be renovated later, everyone wanted to lay a solid foundation so that future renovations and repairs would be much easier.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will likely settle here for the rest of their lives, just like the other sect disciples they've met before...
On the other side, in the area designated for cultivating spiritual fields, many unofficial Spirit Plant who had successfully passed the assessment were leveling the land and building thatched huts.
Unlike the families of those other workers, they were merely unofficial Spirit Plant workers. They might find better-paying jobs at any time and leave at any moment. Therefore, they naturally didn't put as much effort into building their homes as the other workers. A thatched hut to shelter them from the wind and rain was enough for them.
After all, in their view, their relationship with this sect was merely a simple employer-employee relationship, unlike those disciples who had formally joined the sect.
If the sect's benefits are truly good enough to make it worthwhile to stay long-term, then we can discuss it later.
Everyone has different ideas, but they are all doing their jobs seriously.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoyue, who was in charge of arranging and managing affairs down the mountain, greatly admired the ability of the stewards sent by the Yuan Household to select people. If it weren't for the help of these stewards from the Yuan Household, the eight of them would have been overwhelmed facing so many job applicants and their families.
Although their purpose in coming out this time was to gain experience from various experiences, they didn't necessarily have to do everything themselves.
An hour later, the defensive array at the foot of the pseudo-base was fully deployed, encompassing the previously marked area.
As the massive array was fully deployed, the initial array patterns rippled outwards, and an invisible and intangible sense of security arose spontaneously from the hearts of everyone at the foot of the mountain.
It seemed that they didn't even need to ask; they could naturally sense the powerful defensive capabilities of this formation.
Of course, it can't compare to the defensive formations of many large cities, but it's far superior to the defensive formations of many small Lineage and villages!
Seeing this, everyone felt even more reassured and worked even harder.
The construction work started by a group of cultivators was carried out at an extremely fast pace.
Although they were mostly a group of Qi Refining cultivators with low Qi Refining, they made rapid progress in building habitable houses and leveling forests and land, given their large numbers.
By evening, almost every household had a simple dwelling.
Spirit Plant even roughly tidied up the land within the designated spirit field area.
Next, a second round of land preparation and a third round of tilling are needed...
However, during the process of organizing the future spirit fields, several Spirit Plant raised a question with Xuanyuan Haoyue.
That means there isn't enough nutrient solution.
The eight-person group knew that cultivating spiritual fields required the addition of spiritual fertilizer, as each of them had previously been involved in the affairs of Xiushui City and Cage Compound and had some understanding of them.
The decision to cultivate the spirit fields wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea; there were some plans involved. They had previously purchased a batch of spirit fertilizer in the city, and the Yuan Household had also provided some.
However, when they were dividing up the area of the spirit fields, they only focused on opening up as many as possible within the defensive formation, forgetting to consider the amount of spirit fertilizer they had available.
As a result, after the experienced Spirit Plant surveyed the land to understand the approximate area of the spirit fields that needed to be cultivated, and estimated the amount of spirit fertilizer brought by the sect, they found that it was far from enough.
In order to avoid losing their jobs as soon as they started working, these experienced Spirit Plant quickly found the person in charge Xuanyuan Haoyue, and explained the situation.
Faced with the concerns of the Spirit Plant growers, Xuanyuan Haoyue showed no change in expression. She simply nodded calmly to the experienced Spirit Plant and said, "Yes, you don't need to worry about this. The sect will make the arrangements. For now, just finish the work at hand."
Then, he quickly used the Lock Ring to contact everyone for an emergency meeting.
Before leaving, he made sure to instruct the Yuan Household steward, who was in charge of registering and managing these Spirit Plant growers, to take note of those Spirit Plant and observe them closely. If they proved to be useful, he suggested that they be given better treatment and assigned to manage more spirit fields and other less experienced Spirit Plant growers.
In a small meeting room on the mountain where the puppet regime was stationed, an eight-person group held an emergency meeting.
After everyone listened to Xuanyuan Haoyue's explanation that the spiritual fertilizer was far from sufficient, they began to express their own opinions.
"It doesn't seem like we can just keep farming; it's too wasteful to keep buying fertilizer from outside," Han Weishu said.
Bai Zhu nodded and said, "The spirit fertilizer outside has to be purchased with Spirit Stone, which is expensive to begin with. Moreover, the major producers of spirit fertilizer basically have their own stable sales channels. We are newcomers, and the amount we can get each time depends on how much they have left. It's too unstable."
Mo Yuanjiao rested his chin on his hand. "So we still need to have our own large-scale breeding farm."
