Longevity and Immortal Journey: Raising Demons, Raising Plants and Seeking Immortals

Chapter 56: Big test, dead is better than alive

"what?"

The three of them looked at Liu Yong after hearing the words.

Liu Yong said excitedly: "I have a neighbor who is on duty in the Miscellaneous Hall. He started chatting with me two days ago and complained to me that the Miscellaneous Hall has been very busy recently, leaving him with no time to practice."

"According to him, it's because three days later it will be the time for the three-yearly big exam for the stewards."

"The main assessment is whether their rule is running smoothly, the promotion of disciples, the harvest of spiritual objects, etc."

"At that time, the elders will personally supervise, and the specific situation will be inspected alternately by each deacon."

Liu Yong swallowed his mouth and spit, hesitantly said: "Mr. Ma has restricted us to find the insect mother in three days. Could it be because of this big exam?"

"If... I mean, if the insect plague in Lingtian is not stopped within his jurisdiction, his evaluation will definitely be lowered."

"Even, will you even lose your position as a steward because of this?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Changsheng didn't feel anything at all, but Mr. Wang and Liu Yong's expressions changed drastically, showing signs of impatience.

The position of steward is only one rank higher than the disciple in the miscellaneous peak class.

It may seem small, but it has a lot of power.

Taking the Zafeng Lingtian area as an example, there is only one deacon to supervise, and four stewards are specifically responsible for the Lingtian in the four major areas: A, B, C and D.

And Ding District alone has hundreds of disciples, hundreds of acres of spiritual fields, and the sum of all kinds of miscellaneous things adds up to tens of thousands of spiritual stones every year.

The quality of A, B, and C spiritual fields is higher. Although the number of spiritual fields has declined, the annual income will only increase, not less.
Such a high income, with just a few strokes of a pen by the steward, might be worth the harvest of several years by a monk who goes out to hunt monsters to the death.

Not to mention that as garrison monks, the Qingyang Sect will give them a considerable reward.

This is a good job, I don't know how many monks are watching.

There are interests, and disputes are naturally inevitable.

The three of them thought about it for a while, and they could feel that the three-yearly exam was definitely a bloodless confrontation.

But these are not important to little people like them.

The important thing is, this sudden pest plague is by no means that simple, so what should they do!
The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Liu Yong looked at the three people who were silent. He was a little anxious for a moment and said anxiously: "You guys should tell me, what should we do? Are we looking for the insect mother? How to find it?"

Li Changsheng raised his head, glanced at the three of them, and said in a deep voice, "Look, I must look for it!"

Elder Wang hesitated and said, "You can target the monk who manages the horse."

Wu Yong glanced at him and said with a strange smile: "Hey, if you don't look for it, you will be kicked out of Zafeng. There are many monsters in the Wanzhong Mountains."

Old Wang's face trembled, he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end, and sighed softly.

How to find it?
The question before them now is how to find that worm mother!
Li Changsheng looked at the beautiful scenery and cursed secretly in his heart.

Shouldn’t those who want to become immortals not care about worldly affairs and focus on cultivation?

How come there are so many twists and turns!Calculating this and calculating that, aren't you afraid of a nightmare in your heart!

at this time.

He suddenly saw a person standing in the corner of the courtyard, looking at them furtively.

Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

The black blood borer definitely did not appear in the spiritual field for no reason, and the insect mother would not be too far away from the insect swarm
I can't find it in the spiritual field, could it be in the vegetable patch in the small courtyard where the monks live?Or was it hidden by a monk?

Probably!

After all, the cultivator targeting Ma Guanshi must be a Pulse Condensation cultivator like him, so he would not be so shameless, and there would still be a risk of exposure.

Li Changsheng came back to his senses, and immediately told the three of them his guess.

Liu Yong thought for a while, then clapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly, "That's right! It must be so!"

Elder Wang's eyes brightened slightly, and he said, "According to Wu Sheng, the insect mother seems to want to advance, and to advance requires a lot of spiritual energy."

"A low-grade spiritual field alone can't support it!"

Wu Yong's eyes became even more crazy. He glanced at the small courtyards with murderous intent and said softly: "In other words, it is hidden in someone's home!"

The four looked at each other.

Li Changsheng thought for a while, and said, "I have a lot of spirit worms, let them check for the presence of the worm mother." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Once found, I ask the three senior brothers to take action."

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Be sure to kill him. It is better for him to be dead than alive."

Liu Yong looked puzzled, but didn't ask why.

Elder Wang, Wu Yong's face changed slightly, and then he nodded his head.

"It's not too late, let's start, lest the worm mother advance."

Li Changsheng turned over and sat on Xiaohua, his thoughts moved slightly, only Ada and Aer were left by his side, and he released the rest of the red-winged blood bamboos.

Because there is a distance limit for the spiritual connection with the spirit insect, only two small courtyards can be checked at a time.

The group of red-winged blood bamboos flew into the small courtyard without any cover, from the vegetable garden in the small courtyard, to the side house, and then to the main house, and began to investigate one by one.

Although the owner of the wooden house had an ugly expression on his face, when he saw the group of four outside, he immediately froze.

The four monks who control insects can't be provoked, can't be provoked
Aggrieved, he walked out of the room and let those spirit insects walk back and forth in the house.

Time passed little by little.

As small courtyards were investigated, Mr. Wang and Wu Yong looked at Li Changsheng as if they were looking at a monster.

Isn't he tired of distracting to control so many spirit insects?

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of heat and fear in each other's eyes.

At this time, Li Changsheng's face turned pale, and his eyes were a little tired.

In the past, he could just give orders to the insect swarm, and it didn't take much effort at all.

Now that he has been distracted so much, not only does he feel tired, but his brain also has a tingling pain.

"call"

After inspecting and wiping the two small courtyards, Li Changsheng panted heavily, and clasped his fists at the two monks in the courtyard with suffocated faces. His thoughts moved slightly, and the swarm of insects gathered above his head.

"Let's go, Xiaohua."

Hum
Xiao Hua groaned twice, then swayed towards the two small courtyards below.

soon.

A somewhat familiar small courtyard came into view, it was the one where he bought Jasper Grass.

Li Changsheng looked at the closed wooden door, his thoughts moved slightly, half of the insect swarm flew towards the small courtyard.

He had entered the vegetable garden before, so he didn't need to check again. The swarm came directly to the wooden door and bumped it a few times.

咚咚
After a while, a middle-aged monk who looked a little pale and looked like he was in his 30s came out of the house.

When he saw the red-winged blood bamboos and the four of them, Li Changsheng, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately reached out and closed the wooden door.

But he was a step too slow, and several insects had already flown in.

He Qing's abnormal reaction made Li Changsheng vigilant, and he cast a look at Wang Lao and the three of them.

Drive off Xiaohua and walk towards the small courtyard.

Li Changsheng was sensing the reaction of Bloodwing Hongzhu while observing his facial expression.

"Did he do it?"
