With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1295
Chapter 1295: Gardening
“Alright, go and take care of that patch over there and then head out for the day.”
“Yes, young master.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a wry smile when he heard how they called him.
After all, this wasn’t what he would have picked if he could have chosen what they addressed him by. But in the end, this was the form of address that stuck and he wasn’t able to change it.
The place that he was in now was the gardening hall, but this place was different from the other halls.
As the name implied, this was a place where gardening was done.
This was the hall that took care of all the spiritual gardens in the Heavenly Demon Sect, which meant that they were the ones that were in charge of the spiritual herb supply.
So if there was something that was needed by the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was up to this hall to take care of it.
While it was possible to search for things outside, it wasn’t as if this was reliable. That was why it was necessary to have this hall to ensure that there was a steady supply of spiritual herbs and special ingredients for the Heavenly Demon Sect.
It wasn’t all high grade stuff, the low grade stuff was also necessary since there were so many disciples in the Heavenly Demon Sect in the first place.
Each of these disciples would require their own pills and artifacts, so it was only natural that there was a market for low grade stuff as well.
The position that Lin Fan received was as a deacon of the gardening hall.
It would have been hard for him to become an elder since he was still a disciple and with how young he was, it would have been strange for him to be given the title of elder. So in the end, he was given the title of deacon which was just below that of an elder.
However, he was also given control of three different mountains in the gardening hall.
Since the gardening hall was responsible for supplying the entire Heavenly Demon Sect, it was only natural that they had plenty of space.
But even then, being given three mountains was already quite the accomplishment.
Most deacons would only receive a single mountain to watch over and Lin Fan had been directly given three.
That was the influence of being the disciple of the Poison King.
Before he broke through and became one of the Eight Kings, the Poison King had been the grand elder of the gardening hall. He was the one that had been in charge of all of this.
So now that Lin Fan as his disciple was entering the gardening hall…
When the Poison King had been the grand elder of the gardening hall, he was very well respected. After all, he was a genius when it came to planting and growing spiritual herbs.
As the Poison King, his cultivation technique was related to refining poison.
To do that, he required materials to refine the poisons that he used for his cultivation technique. That meant that he had to be able to grow the spiritual herbs needed to refine these poisons.
So it was only natural that he would be a genius in this gardening hall.
On Lin Fan’s first day in the gardening hall, he saw the statue of the Poison King that they made to commemorate his time here. Though the statue certainly wasn’t what the Poison King looked like now.
It was clear that this was a beautified version of the Poison King from when he was younger. It was even very likely that this was something that the Poison King had commissioned himself…
Since Lin Fan was the Poison King’s disciple, the other disciples of the gardening hall took to treating him as the young master of the gardening hall. That was just the kind of influence that the Poison King had even though he was no longer here.
So Lin Fan was unable to stop them from addressing him as such, but this treatment did come with its perks.
With the influence of the Poison King, Lin Fan was able to easily subdue his subordinates and make them listen to his command. They even rushed to follow his orders sometimes because of how much they respected him.
When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit bad from time to time.
Though that didn’t stop him from using them still since they were doing it willingly.
After he sent them off, Lin Fan turned around and looked at the spiritual herbs that were growing there. However, it didn’t seem like he was interested in every spiritual herb that was here.
It seemed like Lin Fan was only interested in certain spiritual herbs as he went from one field to another.
When he leaned down to inspect the spiritual herbs, it didn’t really seem like he was doing anything special. Though those with sharp eyes and senses would have been able to tell that there was this strange sensation that appeared when he did this.
They wouldn’t have been able to find out the source of this thing that easily since it was something that Lin Fan had hidden in a certain space the system gave him, but they would have been able to tell that there was an effect on the herbs.
That was why Lin Fan sent off his subordinates before doing this.
He made sure that there were no witnesses before he did this.
Though it wasn’t as if what he was doing was considered a bad thing.
As he used this strange energy on the spiritual herbs, he said with a faint smile, “Grow big and grow well. I can’t wait to harvest you.”
…
“What is this? How are these spiritual herbs such high quality?”
All of Lin Fan’s subordinates were shocked when they saw these spiritual herbs.
The ones that they were talking about were the spiritual herbs that Lin Fan had personally tended to. After all, these ones were far different compared to the rest of the fields.
Most of the time, they were just a single herb that was surrounded by a batch of normal herbs which actually made them stand out even more.
That was why they were all shocked to see this.
Lin Fan just shook his head with a faint smile before saying, “Go on and harvest them already. Stop wasting time, we still have other things to do.”
His subordinates came back to their senses when they heard this and followed his orders, but it didn’t take long for them to be surprised by something else.
That was because there was something off about the rest of the herbs that were in this place.
“These are…all much higher quality than normal!” The disciples were all caught off guard while they went to harvest.
After all, they had been working in this gardening hall for a while now and they were familiar with the grade of spiritual herbs that they would normally collect.
So when they went to harvest these herbs, they found that they were actually filled with even more spiritual energy than normal.
If the spiritual herbs that they harvested were considered normal quality, the ones that they harvested now could be considered top quality. So it was only natural that they would be caught off guard by this.
“How is this possible?” All of them were confused when this happened, but it didn’t take long for them to come to a conclusion.
It was actually a single disciple that said it at first, but it didn’t take long to spread among them.
“What has changed? The only thing that has changed is the arrival of the young master…”
Once this was said, everyone turned to look at Lin Fan with strange looks.
Though it didn’t seem like these were bad looks that they were giving him.
Lin Fan hadn’t said anything the entire time, making it seem like he was just waiting for them to finish harvesting these herbs. However, what he was actually doing was waiting for them to come to this conclusion.
After all, it was a fact that he had done something to these herbs.
What he had done was provide life energy from the Nine Lives Tree that was inside of his pet storage space.
That life energy was an abundant source of vitality that helped the specific herbs that he picked out grow to the point where they had evolved. But it wasn’t as if they could have absorbed all of the life energy that he gave them.
The rest of the life energy dissipated into the surrounding herbs which brought their quality up.
As for why he didn’t do this with all the spiritual herbs, it was simply because they didn’t have the potential. The ones that he picked out were special ones that had potential to mutate, which was why he focused on them.
He was able to pick them out with his Appraisal Eyes.
Lin Fan just revealed a faint smile and said, “Hurry up and harvest these things so we can get off work already.”
Though it seemed like he was avoiding it, that didn’t mean that he was denying it.
The eyes of the other disciples lit up as they started following his orders, but there was no doubt that there would be a rumour spreading through the Heavenly Demon Sect soon.
This was the rumour that Lin Fan wanted to spread.
Now all he had to do was wait for others to come and find him.
