Chapter 67: After the adjustment, you can be with Jiang Qiu
"I've finished refining the [Yang Metal Spiritual Energy]. What about the high-grade spiritual seed you promised me?" The hooded young man asked in a nonchalant tone.
With a thud, the stall owner flipped his hand and took out a spirit seed bag. Its intricate patterns and embroidered decorations exuded a sense of luxury. He tossed it over, saying, "Hehe, I just got this [Mindset] today and nurtured it. It took me a lot of effort."
"Is there anything taboo this time?" The young man took the bag with one hand.
"Here," the stall owner handed over another dried leaf, its veins standing out due to the withering, "I've grafted the remaining requirements of that cultivation method onto it. Just don't let it be discovered when you're cultivating it."
"Even after three years, Master didn't notice, let alone now," the young man said, without looking at the withered leaf. He put it in his pocket and handed a bag of spirit seeds to the table. "Here are the results he passed on to me. I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute," the stall owner said slowly as he packed up the spirit seed bag, a mysterious smile on his face, "there's something else you need to pay attention to when planting the seeds."
"..." The young man turned half his face back.
"The [Mindset] fertilized by this advanced spiritual seed was not voluntarily accepted; it has a strong obsession. According to the cultivation method I gave you, if you cultivate it and turn it into a spiritual seed within your body, and then forcibly awaken [Daily Accumulation of Gold] without resolving the obsession, you will suffer a backlash."
"Whose obsession is this?" the young man asked coldly.
"You'll soon hear about the death of a kid named Qian Cheng in your school during his internship assessment," the stall owner said with interest. "Even in his final moments, he was still thinking about getting first place in this year's assessment, hoping to one day surpass that young genius named Jiang Qiu."
"That's all?" the young man asked expressionlessly.
"Ah Ming, Jiang Qiu's performance is no worse than yours during the assessment back then, and she also has the Jiang family supporting her. Don't be careless." The stall owner said with a half-smile.
"To be comparable to my former self is to be inferior to my present self. This obsession will naturally crumble when the seed is sown, and I will awaken a second rare physique in the future." Lu Changming's sharp eyes remained calm from beginning to end.
"It's not that simple. You have to show your superior talent compared to Jiang Qiu in a highly anticipated competition. Qian Cheng's obsession is to beat Jiang Qiu in front of everyone," the stall owner explained.
"Let Jiang Qiu compete against me?" Lu Changming chuckled behind his black mask. "If he can make it to this year's 'Procreation Competition' and win, he'll be qualified to compete with me for territory next year after his frontline training. If he can't, his talent is just so-so, and I won't care about the so-called backlash from obsession. So what if I forcibly awaken [Daily Accumulation of Wealth]?"
Tap, tap, tap, his figure receded into the distance. The stall owner narrowed his eyes, a meaningful look on his face. "He's getting more and more arrogant. But then again, a precious dual-physical embryo is better off a little arrogant, hehe."
......
After being promoted to intern, Jiang Qiu officially took up a temporary post in the Logistics Department as the Level 1 nutrient soil preparation supervisor. She was able to dispatch workshop employees to assist in the preparation of nutrient soil and apply for a batch of materials from Deputy Supervisor Mo.
"Master Jiang Qiu, you're planning to take a batch of materials to prepare nutrient soil? Sure, sure, 200 portions, right? No problem, I'll have someone transport it to courtyard number 17 for you. Oh, no extra charge, since you're both an apprentice plant expert and the supervisor in charge of this, you can apply for it for free!"
"Thank you very much."
"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. I'd really appreciate it if you could spend more time in the workshop after your promotion, Master. Our production plan for this quarter's million tons of nutrient soil is all counting on you!" The voice on the other end of the phone laughed amicably.
"I'm going to update a batch of nutrient soil this morning and also plan out the training schedule for the next cycle. I probably won't be able to get there until the afternoon."
Jiang Qiu glanced at the flower stand area. All the diseased spiritual plants had withered. All 200 pots needed to be replaced with new nutrient soil and spiritual seeds. It would be a busy time, and they were short-handed to do the work.
"Ah, no rush, no rush. You go ahead with your work. The workshop will produce the semi-finished products according to your plan. You can come back to finish them when you have time. Since you're busy, I won't bother you any longer. Best of luck with your harvest!"
"Thank you for your care, Manager Mo."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the call ended quickly.
With a crunching sound, Jiang Qiu stretched her limbs, making a sound like shoveling coins. Then she began to clean up the nutrient-depleted soil, preparing to dump it into the recycling area in the yard.
With a whoosh, pots of nutrient soil were poured into snakeskin bags. Once full, the bag opening was gripped tightly. It felt like a heavy bag of cement, weighing over a hundred pounds. In the past, such a heavy bag would have required both hands to lift.
Now, he grabs one bag with his left hand and another with his right, strides briskly toward the recycling pit, his face not flushed and his breath not out, only a few drops of sweat from the sun trickling down his muscles and splashing into the pit.
Just then, Du Ziyue also came to dump the waste. The burlap sack was torn and dragged for dozens of meters on the cement ground, and only stopped when the seams on the surface were worn through.
He wiped the sweat from his brow.
Turning around abruptly, "Huh?!"
Jiang Qiu had already emptied a small hill from the pit and was lifting bags of waste soil weighing over a hundred pounds with ease, while I had only managed to build a small mound and was already feeling sore and out of breath.
"Phew~ Are the strength-enhancing and muscle-building effects of metal-based training methods really that obvious?"
Although the spiritual plants within the body will feed back to the cultivator based on the effects of different cultivation methods, and all cultivation methods can enhance physical constitution, metal-based methods provide the most significant increase in power, which is of course also related to physical constitution.
Jiang Qiu's current state at the early stage of the [Growth Realm] is something that even I, in my later stages of cultivation, might not be able to catch up with; only those at the [Proliferation Realm] have a chance to compare.
A hint of envy flashed in Du Ziyue's eyes. If he had that much strength, cultivating spiritual plants would be much easier. However, he quickly composed himself. "Today, the institute is transferring a batch of employees, and I'll be assigned one to help me with the work. That will save me a lot of effort..."
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed from afar, interrupting Du Ziyue's thoughts.
Turning my head, I saw Wu Shan leading a group of full-time employees into the Foreign Languages Department, including some of the young women I had seen during yesterday's assessment.
His eyes lit up, and he secretly looked forward to it.
but......
"Let me emphasize again, your job is to help the trainees take care of the potted plants in the flower stand area. Don't go where you shouldn't go, and don't do anything you shouldn't do. The [Spirit Embryo Ancestral Tree] will monitor all abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations here. Now, I will announce the assignment list."
Upon hearing Wu Shan's shout, many courtyard employees unconsciously slowed down and looked towards the entrance, while some trainees passing by also glanced at him.
"The rules apply to young employees and young trainees."
"Zhang San, your assessment results are alright, just like Wang Baisheng."
"Li Si, you'll be working with Du Ziyue, the trainee from the previous year."
"Yang Zhilan, you are a girl and should be with Jiang Qiao, but considering her thoughts and your thoughts, as well as Jiang Qiu's opinion."
Wu Shan paused for a moment, then said, "From now on, you can work with Jiang Qiu, and Director Liu of the Logistics Department has been keeping an eye on you. Starting today, I approve your move into Courtyard No. 17."
