The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3021 Distribution Plan
"Phew, I'm finally back safe and sound!" Qian Ying breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped out of the defensive structure and smiled at Zhou Zixing.

Zhou Zixing nodded and said, "I didn't expect to have this this time. It's really good. Not only can it avoid the attacks of many first-line reds, but it can also protect everyone. It seems that we will need this defensive structure as cover when we continue to move forward."

"That's right, just as I thought. When we continue our journey, we'll use this to protect everyone and reduce our own consumption." Qian Ying said with some relief as she looked at the defensive structure.

I really didn't expect this thing to be so useful.

Before actually using it, it seemed like just a makeshift structure, but I never expected it to be so powerful in real-world applications. It's really great.

"By the way, what about Han Chengye and Ouyang Min? How are they doing?" Thinking of the two who first came up with the idea, Qian Ying felt she should reward them properly.

This defensive structure not only provides them with a layer of protection and covers their gathering tasks, but also saves them the elixir consumption between the two innate level cultivators. Therefore, Han Chengye and Ouyang Min, who came up with this method, should be rewarded.

“Elder, they are both still unconscious and haven’t woken up yet,” Qian Wantong said to Qian Ying as he walked over.

"Huh, what's going on? Didn't they take honey and apply it to their wounds after being stung by the red bees? It's been over an hour since they returned from the hive, why haven't they woken up yet?" Qian Ying asked curiously.

"I don't know. The other people who were stung by the Red Bees have already regained consciousness halfway up the mountain, but these two haven't woken up yet." Qian Wantong thought of the scene when these two were attacked by the Red Bees and the First Line Red Bees, and then said again, "Elder, it's possible that these two were attacked by the First Line Red Bees and the Red Bees too many times, and there is too much toxin left in their bodies, which is why they haven't woken up yet."

Qian Wantong's answer was rather far-fetched, but he had no choice but to answer Qian Ying's question, so he could only rely on his own guesses.

"Elder, could you take a look and see what's causing them to remain unconscious?" Qian Wantong asked in a low voice.

After all, in his eyes, his elders were old and knowledgeable, and perhaps they could figure out why the two had not woken up.

Listening to Qian Wantong's words, Qian Ying thought to herself that it was a good idea to go and take a look, and perhaps she could find out something.

But just as he was about to walk towards the two, he saw several martial artists taking out honey from their defensive structures and piling it up beside them. The other martial artists, however, stared intently at the honey, their eyes fixed on it.

This stuff can cleanse toxins, aid in cultivation, and tastes delicious too. Everyone risks their lives to rush into the hives of the Red-line Bees and Red Bees to collect it.

So now, many martial artists are watching, genuinely wanting to rush over and snatch it. No one can resist the temptation of increased strength, especially since this honey is rumored to enhance one's power without any side effects; their desire to seize it only intensifies.

Even several martial artists who had been poisoned while collecting honey were now stubbornly standing there, staring at the honey without saying a word.

I was also thinking that since I participated in the collection mission and was injured by the Red Bees and the Red-lined Bees, should I consider allocating more resources during the distribution process?

If I'm not assigned a role, what should I do?

But glancing at Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing, they noticed that the two old men weren't distributing the honey; they were just standing there. Could it be...?

No way, no way, don't these two old men want to distribute the honey? We agreed before we set off that the honey would be distributed to everyone after it was collected. Otherwise, why would they risk their lives to collect honey?
Upon seeing this scene, Qian Ying knew that if the honey wasn't distributed on the spot, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.

After all, the longer the delay, the more inner monologues these martial artists would have. They might even suspect that the honey they collected would be embezzled by him and Zhou Zixing. After all, the two of them were innate masters, among the strongest in the group.

Therefore, if someone were to go against their conscience and confiscate this honey, none of the martial artists would stand up to object.

However, if the two of them were to withhold the honey, or distribute it in small amounts, their subsequent actions might be completely misguided.

"Elder Qian, look..." Both old men were cunning and could understand each other with just a glance. Zhou Zixing said half a sentence to Qian Ying, actually just asking for Qian Ying's opinion on how the honey should be distributed.

Qian Ying nodded and said, "It seems that it would be better to distribute these honeys as soon as possible, Elder Zhou."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zixing nodded and said, "I think it's a good idea. The sooner the assignments are distributed, the more at ease we'll be."

Qian Ying then turned to Qian Wantong and asked, "Han Chengye and Ouyang Min have already taken the antidote, right?" "Yes, they have. I personally watched them being fed it," Qian Wantong replied immediately. He wasn't lying; he had watched Han Chengye and Ouyang Min being fed honey and red thread fruit the moment they were poisoned.

However, the quantity was limited; each person only had a few sips of honey and one red thread fruit.

"That's good. After all, as you've seen, the most important thing now is to process this honey and distribute it. As for the two of them not waking up yet, it's probably because of excessive poisoning or slow detoxification. So I won't go check on them. Arrange for someone to send them back to their respective family camps, and tell them to keep an eye on them and report back as soon as they wake up. As for their honey, leave it here for now and send it back to them when they wake up," Qian Ying instructed Qian Wantong.

"Yes, Elder." Qian Wantong saw the expressions of the many martial artists through Qian Ying's gaze and naturally understood what they were thinking. Therefore, he was aware of what he needed to do.

Qian Ying waved to him, then said to the others, "Everyone, don't move yet. I'll discuss the distribution plan for these honeys with Elder Zhou now, and then we'll start distributing them."

"Thank you, Elder Qian." Whether they were martial artists from the Qian family or other families, they all quickly expressed their gratitude.

Damn, this hit the nail on the head! I'll quickly split it up, then go back and drink some honey; I can even cultivate for a whole night.

Everyone stared intently at Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing, awaiting their distribution plan.

The two old men, seeing the gazes of the crowd, were somewhat helpless. In truth, Qian Ying had never intended to withhold the honey; after all, it was the result of everyone's hard work in collecting it. If he were to keep it, he might end up all alone.

After a brief, hushed discussion, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing finished their conversation. Qian Ying then stepped forward and addressed the assembled martial artists, saying, "Regarding the distribution of the honey, Elder Zhou and I have discussed it. Based on everyone's participation and contribution, and adhering to the principle that everyone receives some, the distribution will be as follows:"

All participants in the gathering task will receive five bottles each for warriors at the tenth level of the Heavenly Realm, and one extra bottle for each person injured during the gathering. Other participating warriors will receive four bottles each. Support warriors, regardless of who they are, will receive three bottles each. The remaining warriors, who participated in crafting and transporting during the day, will each receive one bottle. After everyone has received their share, any remaining honey, regardless of how many bottles are left, will belong to Elder Zhou and me.

What do you all think of this plan? If it's not suitable, or if you have a better allocation plan, please bring it up now so Elder Zhou and I can discuss it further.

After hearing this, many martial artists thought about it for a moment and felt that the plan was not bad. They all echoed, "Elder Qian, let's distribute it according to your suggestion. We have no objection."

Qian Ying chuckled and said, "Really no objections? If there are, say so now. If the allocation is really done as I just said, you can't go back on your word."

After glancing at all the martial artists present, and seeing that no one stood up to object, Qian Ying said again, "Alright, since no one has any objections, let's start distributing them as I just said."

After saying that, he called Qian Wantong up and began distributing the honey according to their strength and the number of participants.

Actually, there are nearly two hundred bottles of honey prepared this time, so according to the distribution plan he just mentioned, each of them will receive about twenty bottles when it is distributed to him and Qian Ying.

Therefore, Qian Ying was satisfied; so much honey made this sale worthwhile.

The other martial artists present understood that without the support of two innate masters, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing, the honey-gathering mission might not have even taken place. Therefore, allocating each of them about twenty bottles was appropriate.

Even though Qian Ying protected everyone throughout the harvesting process, it was only right that such a large quantity of honey was obtained.

Everyone took turns going forward, receiving the honey, and then happily returned to their respective camps. The martial artists who remained at their camps were also overjoyed to hear they had received a bottle as well.

They had worked hard all day, helping to move wood, cut down bushes, fetch water, and so on. However, they didn't risk going to the beehive, so they were happy to receive a bottle.

When Chen Mo returned, Ouyang Ruoxi was already upstairs and standing beside him. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of concern.

"Don't worry, this mission was very safe, we didn't encounter any danger," Chen Mo said, reaching out to hold her soft hand.

"Yes, it's better that you're back safe and sound." Ouyang Ruoxi replied with a smile. Her hand was being held by Chen Mo, but she felt incredibly at ease.

Ouyang Nana stood to the side, forced to passively endure the public display of affection, feeling utterly helpless; she had truly had enough of it.

Ugh, when will this dog food ever end? I really can't take it anymore. I'm so full of dog food every day!
