170 The Busy Plant Hall (3)
“Good, the Plant Hall is happiest when everyone works hard.” Huang Chu, however, did not put on any airs as a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. He chuckled. “Do a good job. The Plant Hall is your second home. I hope you’ll always feel comfortable here.”
Everyone cheered.
As Jiang Ming ate and drank, his heart was filled with emotion. It was only when he came in that he found out the truth about the Plant Hall. The rumors said Huang Chu was extremely busy every day, sorting out the information on the spirit fields and doing all kinds of chores. As it turned out, the rumors were all fake!
Alas, most people, including the authorities of Xiaoqian Mountain, seemed to believe the rumors. During the new year, they would allocate a lot of funds to the Plant Hall and send people to ask about Huang Chu’s well-being, afraid that he would quit.
In reality, Huang Chu had already set up a system to do all the work. He just had to send someone to replenish the spirit stones in the formation every day.
Of course, it was not a lie that he was busy. However, he was only busy at night.
Jiang Ming had been here for more than half a year, and he had already realized that the Plant Hall was not as poor as Huang Chu liked to say they were.
At the table, Feng He was already yelling at them to leave. “Let’s go. Let’s go. Time is tight tonight, and the mission is important. We still have to go to the Wonderful Sound Pavilion!”
Feng He slammed the table and brought everyone to the Wonderful Sound Pavilion to taste the osmanthus wine.
The next morning, Jiang Ming returned to his cave in high spirits. This was what immortal cultivation was!

After a few days, Duan Ping suddenly came to visit and gave Jiang Ming a storage ring.
Jiang Ming was shocked. Although the storage ring was not a real magic tool, the lowest grade one was worth more than twenty spirit stones.
“This is a bonus from the Plant Hall. You’ve worked so hard to master the Misty Rain Technique. It has helped us immensely. However, you’ve only been here for half a year, so you might want to work harder to catch up.”
Duan Ping winked as he said this. He then quickly turned around and left to deliver the items to the others.
“Six months of hard work.” Jiang Ming looked at the storage ring in his hand, and his expression was a little strange.
Staying in the Plant Hall seemed to be the right decision.
Before Jiang Ming had time to check the storage ring, there was a sudden sound outside the door.
He pushed the door open and saw a burly gray-haired man standing outside, frowning as he paced back and forth.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Jiang Ming frowned.
Not long after he had moved in, a neighbor who seemed to be short of money had rented the lowest-level immortal’s cave next to his.
The two of them had met a few times. However, they were not really friends
When the gray-haired man saw Jiang Ming walking out, he quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “There’s an opportunity. I wonder if you will be interested.”
Jiang Ming’s body suddenly tensed.
“Where’s the opportunity?” Jiang Ming probed.
“It’s in the middle of the Litfire Region,” the gray-haired man hurriedly said.
When Jiang Ming heard that it was not a disturbance in Xiaoqian Mountain, he immediately felt relieved. He turned around and closed the door with a bang.
The gray-haired man was dumbfounded. After a while, he cursed in a low voice, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
