"Ah? Junior Brother Chen, I did tell you about the drawbacks."

Le Feng frowned, as he was highly against new disciples managing the Spiritual Medicine Garden. To him, it was an irresponsible attitude towards both the sect and the individual.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Le, my family specializes in cultivating spiritual herbs."

Chen Xun replied earnestly, bowing respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Le, for clearing my doubts. I will definitely manage the garden well."

Although Le Feng might seem meddlesome to outsiders, Chen Xun didn't see it that way. Le Feng had helped him greatly, and he would remember this favor.

"Alright, Junior Brother Chen, you've just joined the sect. If there's anything unclear, you can come to my cave abode."

Le Feng smiled amicably. Since it was the other's family expertise, he felt reassured and then took out a talisman from his Storage Bag, handing it to Chen Xun, "Activate it with mana if you need anything."

Chen Xun carefully accepted it, his eyes flashing with an indescribable meaning, and nodded firmly.

"Junior Brother Chen, you must cultivate diligently and not waste time. I'll take my leave now."

"Yes, Senior Brother Le."

"Moo~~"

Chen Xun and Black Bull watched Le Feng leave, both corners of their mouths lifting into a smile involuntarily, as if returning to that little mountain village from before.

He approached an elevated platform inside the hall and said, "Elder Uncle, I would like to manage the medicine garden."

"Sure." An old man, seemingly frail as if a gust of wind could topple him, spoke lightly, producing a jade token and a booklet.

"Thank you, Elder Uncle!"

Chen Xun was delighted, looking at the jade token. It was a restriction token for a certain medicine garden, without which one couldn't enter. Forcing entry would be considered an invasion of the sect.

"Boy, managing the medicine garden is no easy task."

The old man, with sleepy eyes, was unclear whether he was sleeping or meditating, "Just deliver the spiritual herbs here annually."

"Okay." Chen Xun, full of ambition, nodded in agreement.

"That young bull isn't bad, full of spirit." The old man glanced at Black Bull behind Chen Xun, a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Moo~~"

"Elder Uncle, this is my family's ancestral Black Bull..."

"Boy, go on, what are you daydreaming about?!" The old man seemed to perk up a bit, as if Chen Xun's gaze made him feel like he was about to snatch away the Qi cultivation level two spirit beast.@@@@

"Hehe, then I won't disturb Elder Uncle any longer."

Chen Xun smiled sheepishly, indeed having thought too much. After all, this was a grand immortal sect, not Nine Stars Valley.

"Hehe." Chen Xun watched his retreating figure, then glanced at Black Bull.

"Moo?"

Black Bull was also puzzled by the man's actions, not realizing the fortune he was in.

They entered the thatched cottage, which contained many books on cultivating spiritual herbs, which Chen Xun collected without hesitation.

Chen Xun then led Black Bull to the waterfall. After Black Bull set down their belongings, he plunged in, splashing water everywhere.

Chen Xun sat down, flipping through the booklet, which listed various types of spiritual herbs and rules.

For instance, one couldn't secretly consume spiritual herbs, as each one was recorded. Every five years, disciples from the Alchemy Hall would come to count them.

The annual quota and types were all specified. Chen Xun read carefully, committing each rule to memory.

"Moo~~"

Black Bull's moo echoed from the water. It wasn't worried about the growth of the spiritual herbs, having discovered that their World Soul could be diluted with water.

Moreover, it enjoyed cultivating spiritual herbs, finding it more joyful than plowing fields.

"Old Bull, we can't use that thatched cottage. Let's carve out a few caves for ourselves."

Chen Xun looked around; the steep cliffs were ideal for creating cave abodes.

"Moo!" Black Bull agreed. They were accustomed to living in caves, and they had to cultivate their own spiritual herbs.

"Sword Control Technique"

Chen Xun took out a spellbook from his Storage Bag, but he had no sword. That would require contribution points to exchange, and the Five Aggregates Sect had its own ways.

Moreover, there was a pill highly favored by lower-level disciples in the sect, the Inedia Pill. One pill lasted a month, and there was no need for bathroom breaks.

"There are many good things in the sect, but also many rules."

Chen Xun looked back at the Sect Rules, which stated things like no private duels, with offenders sent to the Law Enforcement Hall for whipping. Any grievances had to be formally reported for a duel on the fighting platform.

Except for disciples on missions, no one could leave the mountain at will, but they were allowed two departures per year, each lasting a month, which could be accumulated.

However, once reaching the Foundation Establishment phase, there weren't as many cumbersome regulations. At Foundation Establishment, one was considered a pillar of the sect, akin to an elder.

"This Five Aggregates Sect is bigger than a city, with everything one could need. There's no need to leave the mountain."

Chen Xun murmured, "If I need to exchange for spiritual herbs, I might go down the mountain to look around. Twice a year should suffice, no need to be too conspicuous within the sect."

"Old Bull."

"Moo~"

Black Bull, drenched, ran over, its gaze burning intensely at Chen Xun, as if it hadn't had enough fun yet.
