The Sleeping Dragon Sect is located on a gigantic mountain called Sleeping Dragon Mountain, surrounded by small mountain peaks and shrouded in white clouds that make it look like an immortal mountain.
Unlike outer sect disciples who resided in open areas and lived in small caves, the sect provided each elder with a mountain peak and allowed them to develop it as they pleased as long as they did not violate the sect's rules.
Spirit Flowers Peak was Elder Hua's mountain peak.
She was an outer sect elder who was also rumored to be a direct disciple of an inner sect elder.
Her strength is nothing to say; it is said that every outer sect elder has at least the strength above Foundation Establishment Realm.
Naturally, Elder Hua also probably reached that stage.
She is famous for her beauty, as beautiful as a flower, and her character as gentle as water.
She loved flowers more than anything, and if anyone acted disrespectfully towards flowers in front of her, that would also mean being disrespectful towards Elder Hua.
When Qin Yi arrived at Spirit Flowers Peak, he was greatly astonished by the sight of this mountain peak.
However, just as he was about to set foot there, suddenly, slight pressure appeared from above his head and forced him to cancel his step.
Qin Yi, who was as weak as a chicken, could only endure the pressure meekly.
Fortunately, the opposite party did not seem like she wanted to hurt him.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly a gentle breeze voice sounded in Qin Yi's ear.
He looked up slightly and saw a female in a purple dress hovering above the sword, and she is looking at Qin Yi with an expressionless face.
Purple dress, and flying with a sword...
Only inner sect disciples wore a purple robe or dress, and only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could fly using a sword.
This female disciple was unmistakably an inner sect disciple!
Qin Yi hurriedly introduced himself by bowing his head and adequately cupping his hands.
"Greeting Senior Sister, below is Qin Yi, the disciple who accepted the mission that Elder Hua issued in the Mission Hall."
After hearing Qin Yi's identity and purpose here, the female disciple descended from above.
She landed in front of Qin Yi and said, "Show me the mission paper!"
Qin Yi unhesitatingly showed her the proof of his mission.
After a brief inspection, the female disciple nodded.
"Follow me!"
Suddenly, the pressure he was feeling disappeared, and Qin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
'Does a dignity Foundation Establishment Realm like you feel no shame suppressing a mere the First Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm like me?' Qin Yi complained in his heart.
Never mind, Qin Yi followed the female disciple along the jade-colored path in the mountain peak. The surroundings were garden-like, with strange rocks and odd-looking trees everywhere.
Even more impressive, along the way, he can see the sea of flowers with various types and colors; they looked so beautiful and enchanting.
This mountain peak was worthy of its name, Spirit Flowers Peak, a place filled with various kinds of flowers that are full of spirits.
Amidst the beautiful scenery, extravagantly decorated buildings with jade roof tiles rose up out of the clouds and mist.
Qin Yi sighed continuously; it was sad to say that all this time, he lived in a small cave that was only built by rocks.
He improved his life from a wooden house to a stone house, and I thought it was already a big improvement in my life.
But here, I witnessed people actually live in a magnificent building and own a mountain peak.
Qin Yi secretly lamented himself.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a garden full of various kinds of plants.
However, Qin Yi realized that the things planted here differed from the plants planted along the peak's path.
All the plants here are heaven and earth materials.
Qin Yi was excited, but he did not show it on the surface.
The female disciple turned around and started talking to Qin Yi.
"My name is Lan Qianhua, and I am Elder Hua's disciple. Usually, I am the one who takes care of this estate, but lately, my master has been urging me to train harder, so I have no other choice but to follow her orders."
"However, before I retreat and train, the master asked me to post a mission to tend this garden in Mission Hall. And here, I will tell you briefly about this garden."
"This garden is called the Hundred Flower Garden, and it is my master's private garden. With that said, all the property here belongs to my master. So it would be best if you took care of it with great care; otherwise, you will know the consequences."
Qin Yi is nodding furiously like a chicken pecking rice.
What a joke!
He already considers this place his property- Cough, I mean his workplace.
How could he dare to mistreat it?
Then, he heard Lan Qianhua continue speaking...
"Your job is relatively easy; just do as gardeners do! Most of the plants in this garden are Rank 1 heaven and earth materials; taking care of them isn't much difficult. If you see something wrong with them, do something about it, after all, that's also your job."
"However, I must warn you that there are some Rank 2 heaven and earth materials here; they are precious, so don't touch them if you can't take care of them!"
"That's all. You can start working now. When the other two people arrive, you can repeat what I said to them earlier. Also, discuss with them in dividing your shift-working. My Master does not wish you to neglect your cultivation for this job, so you all need to discuss it thoroughly."
After explaining it in detail, Lan Qianhua faintly looked at Qin Yi and added, "Do you understand?"
"I understood, Senior Sister Lan!"
Qin Yi immediately replied.
"Also, do not find me unless something big happens here."
"Yes!"
After that, Lan Qianhua left Qin Yi, who was still standing on the spot, and watched her back slowly disappear from his sight.
After confirming she disappeared, Qin Yi directly entered the garden.
Seeing the various heaven and earth materials here, the polite expression he had maintained on his face from earlier suddenly crumbled into a rotten and greedy smile.
'Mine, mine, mine... they're all mine!'
Qin Yi approached each plant while ordering extraction to the system non-stop.
"System, extract..."
[Extraction completed!]
[Obtained Rank 1 heaven and earth material "Spirit Grass"]
[Obtained Rank 1 heaven and earth material "Yearning Red Flower"]
[Obtained Rank 1 heaven and earth material "Infernal Pure Apricot"]
[Obtained Rank 1 heaven and earth material "Spirit Mushroom"]
[Obtained Rank 1 heaven and earth material "Full Moon Autumn Dew"]
[Obtained Rank 1 heaven and earth material "Eight Petal Jade Orchid"]
...
Some times later...
[Obtained Rank 2 heaven and earth material "Spiritual Soil"]
[Obtained Rank 2 heaven and earth material "Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom"]
[Obtained Rank 2 heaven and earth material "Feather Phoenix Sunflower"]
[Obtained Rank 2 heaven and earth material "Star Pearl Tree"]
[[Obtained Rank 2 heaven and earth material "Water Jade Spring"]
Qin Yi almost screamed as he obtained many Rank 2 heaven and earth materials.
He even had the urge to grab Lan Qianhua and-
Cough!
"That's not good, my mind almost lost control."
Qin Yi immediately suppressed his excitement and composed himself.
After several hours doing the extraction in this garden, he finally calmed down.
It was time for him to take his duties seriously.
As a gardener, he should carefully distinguish each plant here, including its name, type, condition, and situation.
Qin Yi took out a small note from his storage pouch.
He started to record every detail of the plants.
Thanks to the system, this work was cut in half as he could finish it quickly.
In the next step, he began to implement a system of taking care of them one by one.
A few hours later, the other two disciples arrived at the Hundred Flowers Garden.
They were both a male and a female disciple, and they were outer sect disciples just like Qin Yi.
The woman can't be said ugly or beautiful; her face just fixes at a mediocre standard. Her strength was at the Fourth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
As for the man, he has an oval face and a thin body. His strength was at the Third Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Qin Yi greeted them, "Greeting fellow disciples, below is Qin Yi. I came a few hours ahead of you, so I will briefly introduce this garden and our duties according to what Senior Sister Lan has told me..."
After that, he started repeating the words and warnings that Lan Qianhua had conveyed a while ago.
After he finished, the female disciple cupped her hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Qin. My name is Xua Chan. Thanks for explaining it. I will trouble you if I want to ask something."
Qin Yi replied with a smile, "No problem, it's my duty as a fellow worker."
Meanwhile, the male disciple did not express his gratitude.
He is instead scrutinizing Qin Yi from head to toe, and then he said with a sneer and sarcastic tone: "How did a mere First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm like you manage to get this yellow paper mission? Did you perhaps do something with the clerk in the Mission Hall?"
Geh, naming something is always harder than creating a plot.
