Chapter 43

Outside the small medicinal field, due to Hu Donghan's specific instructions, Niu Er'gen did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent and had been keeping a close eye on the other ten miscellaneous servants, not letting them out of his sight for a single step.

Niu Er'gen was very smart, so he knew that all the treatment he received now was because of Hu Donghan. Niu Er'gen was also very honest, so he conscientiously carried out Hu Donghan's orders without the slightest slack.

As the sky began to turn white, Niu Er'gen and the ten miscellaneous servants who had stayed up all night yawned together.

The moment Hu Donghan returned from the small medicinal field, Niu Er'gen and the ten miscellaneous servants were like they had been doused in cold water, becoming much more alert.

Niu Er'gen ran up to Hu Donghan, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Uncle Master."

After the recent experiment, Hu Donghan had a general understanding of the medicinal spirit ghost, and his mood improved. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Mm... you've done well. You must be tired after staying up all night, right?"

"Thank you for your praise, Uncle Master. It's just staying up all night, not a big deal," Niu Er'gen quickly replied.

Indeed, what Niu Er'gen said was true. Once a cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they could stay awake without feeling tired. If they reached the late Qi Condensation stage, not sleeping for a month would only harm their mental state. For early and mid Qi Condensation cultivators, their bodies had undergone several rounds of refinement, making them much stronger than ordinary people. Not sleeping for three or four days would only then harm their health.

Hu Donghan smiled again and said, "You have indeed been working hard all night. However, there are still many things that need to be done during the day. There will be some tasks in the coming days. After these few busy days, things will be better."

Hearing this, Niu Er'gen hurriedly said, "No problem. No problem. Whatever Uncle Master says, the disciples will follow."

The other miscellaneous servants also responded in unison.

After eating the food brought by the miscellaneous servants, Hu Donghan immediately led the group to the vicinity of the small medicinal field and explained his thoughts.

The group of miscellaneous servants naturally listened with a foggy head, not understanding the situation—after all, the focus of the entire Little Green Terrace's medicinal fields was on the two large medicinal fields.

The medicinal fields of Little Green Terrace totaled only a little over sixteen acres, with more than thirteen acres in the two large medicinal fields, and the small medicinal field occupying less than three acres. According to common sense, the focus of supervision should naturally be on the large medicinal fields.

However, Hu Donghan now ordered them to build a fence about one and a half meters high around the small medicinal field and to construct a one-person room in the direction from the small medicinal field to the large medicinal fields!

What did Hu Donghan mean? Was he planning to live in the small medicinal field from now on?

Was he going to focus on the small medicinal field and not pay much attention to the two large medicinal fields? Wasn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Moreover, Hu Donghan specifically ordered the construction of a fence about one meter high, which also left them puzzled.

Little Green Terrace was located on a hillside, and the Yin energy in the Stacked Peaks was very heavy, so there were basically no wild animals. What was the use of building a fence?

Using a fence to prevent insects? This was a novel idea, but they had never heard of it. If the medicinal herbs were infested with insects, how could a small fence stop them?

However, although they were puzzled, Hu Donghan was now the supervisor of the entire Little Green Terrace. Since Hu Donghan said so, they could only follow his orders. After all, if anything went wrong, the main responsibility would still fall on Hu Donghan. As for them, they were just following orders!

This was the benefit of being obedient miscellaneous servants.

If it had been the previous two miscellaneous servant heads, they might have thought they were being smart and offered some opposing suggestions, or even tried to advise Hu Donghan.

Of course, among the miscellaneous servants, only Niu Er'gen had a vague guess—

Hu Donghan had previously told him about having a medicinal fragrance ghost. In Niu Er'gen's view, Hu Donghan's focus on the small medicinal field must be because of the medicinal fragrance ghost. As for the specific details, Niu Er'gen was not very clear.

Although Niu Er'gen had some guesses, he would not casually talk about it. Since Hu Donghan did not tell him to, it had to be kept confidential. In this matter, Niu Er'gen did a good job, which Hu Donghan was very satisfied with.

Building a not-so-good house and surrounding three acres of land with a fence about one and a half meters high was not a large project.

Although these miscellaneous servants were not professional craftsmen, it only took them two or three days to complete the task.

The medicinal spirit ghost did not need to rush these two or three days to cultivate the spiritual herbs.

Taking advantage of this free time, Hu Donghan went to the disciples' market and found Lang Tianya, informing him of his move to Little Green Terrace.

Furthermore, Hu Donghan placed a large order with Lang Tianya, requiring three soul rings of wandering souls daily. As for the transaction method, Hu Donghan would send a miscellaneous servant to pick up the soul rings daily. When bidding farewell to Lang Tianya, Hu Donghan left a spirit herb worth forty spirits as a deposit.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Hu Donghan's new residence was completed.

Hu Donghan's new residence was not large, consisting of only two rooms and a basement, with a total area of less than one hundred square meters. Compared to the large houses built near the two large medicinal fields, it was a significant difference.

However, Hu Donghan did not mind this.

For Hu Donghan, this new residence was just a place for cultivation. If it weren't for his habit of leaving a room for Hu Meier, Hu Donghan would have only built one room.

The new residence had a front door and a back door.

The front door led to the two large medicinal fields and the mountain path down; the back door, when opened, revealed the three-acre medicinal field.

After checking the rooms and confirming there were no major issues, Hu Donghan waved his hand, dismissing the miscellaneous servants. He also instructed them to only be responsible for supervising the two large medicinal fields and not to come to the small medicinal field unless necessary.

After dismissing the miscellaneous servants, Hu Donghan released the medicinal spirit ghost and entered the basement together.

This basement was the "dining room" and cultivation place Hu Donghan had prepared for the medicinal spirit ghost.

The basement was not large, only about thirty square meters.

Hu Donghan led the medicinal spirit ghost to the basement, found a corner, and summoned the soul power from the soul chart to temporarily create a solid form area. Then, Hu Donghan extended his hand, summoned the medicinal spirit ghost, extracted part of its soul power, and mixed it into the solid form area.

The soul power of the medicinal spirit ghost was different from the soul power in the soul chart and remained separate. Moreover, the soul power of the medicinal spirit ghost was unstable, continuously rolling and stirring within the solid form area, as if stirring something.
