Chapter 6 Bad Seeds

 Zhao Yueyue held a packet of seeds given to her by the steward in her hand. After carefully examining it, she frowned and asked.

In response to Zhao Yueyue's questioning, Qian Guanshi, who was responsible for distributing the seeds, showed great impatience.

"Yes, that's right. Once you get them, leave immediately and don't disturb the people behind you who are getting the seeds!"

The tone of voice was as bad as it could be. If an ordinary person had been scolded like this, he would have been embarrassed to stand aside and make way.

After all, there are indeed a lot of menial disciples who come to collect seeds today. If you waste too much time, it will indeed cause trouble.

Zhao Yueyue's binge eating in the morning had already affected others a little.

But if that's the case, you'll be cheated when you get the seeds and plant them.

Presumably, the person who secretly asked Qian Guanshi to make the changes thought this way.

Give Zhao Yueyue a bag of bad seeds. If she doesn't understand pharmacology and plants these bad seeds, there will be no harvest next year, let alone nothing at all!

Even if you luckily discover it early, it's too late.

The spiritual herb that the menial disciples of Danfeng have to plant this year is the Spirit Gathering Grass. The Spirit Gathering Grass is a low-level spiritual herb and the main ingredient for the first-grade Spirit Gathering Pill.

The Spirit Gathering Pill is an auxiliary pill for the cultivation of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. The Tianyan Sect is a large sect with many low-level disciples, so the need for the Spirit Gathering Grass is very great.

Therefore, in addition to a part of the planting by the outer sect of Danfeng, more menial disciples also have to plant it.

The sect is not worried that the menial disciples will not know how to grow the herbs badly, as these spiritual herbs are easy to grow, and even menial disciples with low cultivation can grow them.

But no matter how easy it is to grow, it is still a magical herb and has its own growth requirements, which is that it must be planted in the few months each year when the temperature is most suitable. If the time is exceeded, it will not survive.

Of course, cultivators can move mountains and seas, and changing the growth environment of some spiritual herbs is also easy, but the spiritual grass is only of the first grade, so there is really no need to bother with it.

Therefore, if you plant this package of bad seeds, wait for a month and find that they have not sprouted, and it is bad seeds, then everything is too late.

Zhao Yueyue gritted her teeth. Was the person behind this so vicious in order to harm her? She missed the sowing period, and she would not be able to hand in the Gathering Spirit Grass next year. According to the strict rules of the Tianyan Sect, she would definitely be expelled from the sect.

Who is it?

Are they the male supporting characters who admire the heroine?

Or are they the ones who once had a grudge against the original owner?

But no matter who it was, the other party never thought that the original owner had always been very knowledgeable about spiritual herbs and alchemy, right?

Want me to suffer a loss, no way!

Keep this account in mind first, and when I find out, I will take revenge!

After thinking about it, Zhao Yueyue fought back without any hesitation when facing Manager Qian's unfriendly look.

"I will definitely leave once the matter is done, without you having to chase me away. But Manager Qian, please tell me first, why did you give me a pack of bad seeds? What is your intention? If you don't explain clearly today, I will definitely file a complaint with the sect and ask for an explanation!"

"Bad seed?!"

As soon as this word appeared, the whole room was in an uproar.

Especially the menial disciples who had received seeds before Zhao Yueyue, looked at the seeds they had just received with fear in their eyes. They could not figure out what was going on and could only look at Manager Qian with anger in their eyes.

Everyone knows that the Tianyan Sect has strict rules. If they fail to produce the herbs the sect wants next year because of bad seeds, they will be kicked out next year!

Although being a chores disciple in the Tianyan Sect is hard, those who stay have hope for the immortal path. The Tianyan Sect is relatively lenient to its disciples. Even chores disciples are what many people dream of, so when they hear that there is a possibility of bad seeds, everyone is furious.

Manager Qian was panicked when he saw that he had aroused public anger. Wasn't this girl said to be a fool who was incapable of doing anything?

How could she possibly recognize that the seeds in her hand were bad?

Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!

Thinking of this, Manager Qian's face turned dark and he shouted at Zhao Yueyue.

"How dare you, a new servant, come here to pick a fight and slander me! You are so bold! I, Qian San, have been in charge of Baicaotang for more than ten years and have never made any mistakes. Everyone knows that Baicaotang is in charge of the seeds of Danfeng spiritual herbs, and it is taboo to distribute bad seeds to disciples. How could I do such a thing?

Lin Yue, don't take advantage of the fact that you were once the disciple of Jianfeng Peak Master to spit blood at me! If you withdraw immediately, I can still forgive you, otherwise..."

Manager Qian narrowed his eyes, looking extremely angry and slandered, but only he knew how panicked he was.

However, looking at Zhao Yueyue's innocent face, Manager Qian felt relieved again, thinking that it would be easy to control her.

But little did they know that Zhao Yueyue was not someone who could be frightened, either in this life or the next!

"Pa pa pa~" Zhao Yueyue clapped in admiration.

"Manager Qian, you are confusing right and wrong. It's a pity that you don't use your talent for acting! But you and the people behind you who want to harm me have calculated everything, but you missed one thing. That is, I, Lin Yue, am actually familiar with the physiology of spiritual herbs! I can tell whether the seeds are good or bad at a glance! Awan, can you lend me your seeds?"

"Okay, here you go!"

Zhao Yueyue gave her a grateful smile, "Thank you!"

Then, in front of everyone, he opened Awan's Spirit Gathering Grass seeds, and then opened his own.

"If you don't believe me, please take a look! Normal seeds of the spirit gathering grass should be flat and round, with a hint of green in the emerald green, and a faint spiritual energy entwined around them. If you smell it up close, you can smell a refreshing fragrance and a bit of bitterness.

But the bad seeds in my hand, at first glance, are no different, but if you look closely, the seeds are more dark green, not emerald green, and there is no green at all. The spiritual energy on them is also slightly mottled. If you smell it carefully, it is all bitter and has no fragrance at all. With such a big difference, you told me that this seed is fine, who are you kidding!"

Zhao Yueyue was so angry that she threw the seeds in her hand, which she was using for comparison, at Qian San.

This made Qian San, who was already a little panicked, even more panicked.

In particular, many people standing next to Zhao Yueyue boldly approached, looked carefully as Zhao Yueyue said, and then compared Awan with their own.

"Hey, you're right, it really is! If you don't look closely, you really can't tell, but when you compare them, they are really different in every way. So, mine and Awan's are the same, my seeds are fine, and the only one with a problem is Lin Yue's?"

"If it's true, it's too tragic. Lin Yue didn't offend her! She's new here. It's bad enough to be reduced from a high-ranking disciple to a menial servant. But to do this to a young girl is too inhuman!"

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

Zhao Yueyue felt mixed emotions when she heard that although there were some people who made sarcastic remarks about her, there were more people who spoke up for her.

Look, the public's eyes are sharp, and those with malicious intent are still a minority. It's ridiculous that people who have nothing to do with her can speak a few fair words for her, while her closest people all accuse her without asking the truth. Ha~

"Nonsense, green and blue, it's all nonsense. I've been in charge of Baicaotang for many years and have never heard of these things. There is no problem with the seeds I gave you. You are slandering her!"

At this time, Qian San still gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. He felt that as long as he insisted on doing so, Lin Yue would not be able to do anything to him. Maybe he could even take the opportunity to ruin Lin Yue's reputation. By then,

Qian San would start to dream about Senior Brother Zhao.

Zhao Yueyue knew that he would definitely not admit it, but it didn't matter, there would be a time for him to admit it later.
