Chapter 956: A Moonless And Windy Night (2/2)
From his perspective, no matter how impressive Mo Wuji was, the maximum a plot of land could produce was 60 catties of Green Dew Rice.IF he knew that Guang Zhi was going to say that the produce of Mo Wuji's plot could possibly exceed 100 catties, he would have asked Guang Zhi to immediately look for Old Man Gu.
…
At the same time, the five disciples leaving Minor High Firmament Village were filled with joy. They had obtained five catties of high grade Green Dew Rice during this visit. It was simply free biscuits that fell from the heavens.
”Senior sister, I didn't expect Senior Brother Mo to actually let Guang Zhi off the hook.” The youngest junior sister, Jian Ji, exclaimed.
In her heart, Mo Wuji was very principled, and not the kind of person that would easily compromise, but who knew that when he was winning, he went for the compromise.
Ying Shushu casually commented, ”He's being smart. If he didn't compromise, what could he do? After acting against Guang Zhi, could he still remain in Minor High Firmament Village?”
Since Mo Wuji could produce high grade Green Dew Rice and let the few of them benefit from it, Ying Shushu originally had a pretty good impression of Mo Wuji. However, after she heard that he was introduced by Mei Qianqian, this impression was completely ruined.
Yao Lun seemed to know what Ying Shushu was thinking about, and he said with a smile, ”That's very normal. Mo Wuji is acquainted with Mountain Lord Mei, so their style of doing things should also be similar…”
Previously, when he saw Mo Wuji take out the crystal ball, he was still slightly afraid of Mo Wuji. But now he felt that it was very funny. Mo Wuji was just a rice farmer, so with his position and status, what was there to be afraid of?
…
”Mo Wuji, you'll be satisfied with this defensive array and deathtrap array.” Zheng Changang handed a master array flag to Mo Wuji as he laughed. ”This deathtrap array has an alarm function, so as long as someone attacks it, it'll immediately trigger the alarm.”
”Many thanks, Elder Zheng. Although I can't understand this deathtrap array, I can sense that it's more than 10,000 times stronger than the array I set up before.” Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully and thanked Zheng Changang, but deep inside he didn't think that this deathtrap array was superior to his own.
After finishing his sentence, he took out a sack and handed it to Elder Zheng, ”Elder Zheng, this is the high grade Green Dew Rice that I produced, because I don't have much left after submitting the required amount to the sect, this is all I can give to you, please take it.”
”Good, then I'll help myself to it.” How could the thought of asking Mo Wuji for high grade Green Dew Rice not have passed Elder Zheng's mind while he helped Mo Wuji set up the arrays?
As Mo Wuji only had one plot of land, submitted 20 catties, sold some to the few disciples, and now still gave him another six to seven catties of rice, he was very satisfied.
Regarding the fact that Mo Wuji's plot producing over 100 catties of Green Dew Rice, he didn't see it, wasn't very clear about such things, and above all, wouldn't believe it.
In front of Huo Sheng's envious eyes, Zheng Changang kept the Green Dew Rice and passed a jade token to Mo Wuji, ”This is my memory token. If you need anything in the sect next time, you can use it. As for your plot of land, if it needs to be changed or increased in size, you can take this token and look for Guang Zhi. All you have to do is ask him to help you to settle it.”
Mo Wuji didn't reject it, and after keeping the token, he took out another sack to pass to Huo Sheng, ”Hall Master Huo, there's a few catties of Green Dew Rice in here for you. Thank you, Hall Master Huo for coming here in person for an issue of mine.”
Huo Sheng felt a little awkward, but this high grade Green Dew Rice was too good to give up.
”Then I'll graciously accept it.” Huo Sheng kept the rice, and also gave a jade token to Mo Wuji, ”Mo Wuji, this is the blameless token of the Enforcement Hall. As long as you have not done anything that seriously damages the sect, this jade token can be used. That's right, producing high grade Green Dew Rice is a very big thing, and while the sect won't interfere with how you deal with the extra rice, you should still be more careful about it.”
The meaning behind Huo Sheng's words was very clear: for him not to randomly sell the Green Dew Rice. These words were of course bullsh*t, as he could obviously deal as he pleased with the rice that he grew as long as it was within the boundaries of the sect rules.
Zheng Changang was very satisfied that Mo Wuji knew how to do things, so he patted Mo Wuji's head while saying, ”I'll take my leave first, when the sect head is back, I'll report your issues to him. Also…”
After a short pause, Zheng Changang continue, ”Mo Wuji, your future in the Minor High Firmament Sect is bright, so it's best not to associate yourself too much with Firmament Pond Mountain.”
This time, Mo Wuji only bowed respectfully but didn't respond.
He could grow Green Dew Rice here thanks to Mei Qianqian, and a person shouldn't forget his roots. While he didn't know what Mei Qianqiang did, he knew for sure that he was indebted to her.
Harvesting high grade Green Dew Rice was one thing, but more importantly, he unintentionally found out what was wrong with his heart's state. Otherwise, he would probably still not know how to break through beyond his previous cultivation level.
…
Nights in the Minor High Firmament Village were the quietest. Even though most people here were cultivators, they spent their daytime tending to Green Dew Rice while at night, they would start meditating rather early. They still had to make use of whatever limited time to raise their cultivation level.
The only person not resting was likely Mo Wuji. He put on a concealing low grade god armor and with the wind escape technique, disappeared from his own D79 plot.
A moonless and windy night, perfect for murder and arson.
