The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 22 Compensation Rewards (Please Read!!)

"It seems that the process of refining impurities from the medicinal liquid needs to be improved!" She slowly recalled the process of refining this batch of pills.

I am basically familiar with the whole process and there are no major mistakes, but the details still need to be improved.

Then she quickly cleaned up the remaining medicinal residue inside the furnace.

After a while, most of the spiritual energy in her body was restored, and the temperature of the flame at the bottom of the furnace was reduced to the minimum required to refine the magnolia flower.

She quickly picked up the magnolia flower beside her and placed it into the alchemy furnace, refining it with a magic formula.

……

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Jinshu was picking up magical eggs from the magical chicken pen in the yard.

The effect of feeding with locust corpses was really good. The spiritual energy concentration of the spiritual eggs laid by the three female spiritual chickens was 30% higher than before.

If we follow the price of spiritual eggs in the market, it would probably be 30% higher.

Originally, five spirit eggs were exchanged for one spirit stone, but now two can be exchanged for almost one spirit stone.

At this time, she had picked up forty-two spirit stones in the basket, which was equivalent to twenty-one spirit stones.

"This is too much of a profit." She secretly calculated the price of these spiritual eggs in her heart, and her heart started pounding for some reason.

"It's a pity that the locusts have already fed almost half of the corpses."

Last time, many tribesmen burned the corpses of locusts and scattered them on the spiritual fields to increase fertility, thus saving spiritual stones for fertilizer.

She couldn't compete with these spiritual farmers who had suffered heavy losses.

Soon, the voice of the third uncle calling for help came slowly from the steward's office, with some awakening power.

"All spiritual farmers, gather at the steward's office!"

"Could it be that the compensation from the family has arrived?"

She had already roughly guessed the reason why her third uncle summoned the spiritual farmers.

In the days since the spiritual fields were hit by an insect plague, many spiritual farmers have been feeling sad, and most of Lingjiu Mountain is in a depressing atmosphere.

Although she had expected it, she was still infected by the mood when she met several dejected uncles.

There is not even much hope for life in their eyes.

"I hope the compensation given by the family this time can make up for the losses of these spiritual farmers."

Chen Jinshu put the spiritual egg in his hand into the storage bag, put Mu Li on his head, took Yin Shanque with him, and walked towards the management office.

After walking for a while, I finally saw a group of spiritual farmers waiting anxiously in the office ahead.

"Don't crowd! The compensation has arrived! Each spiritual farmer will be compensated truthfully according to their losses!" Chen Huaiyang shouted to the spiritual farmers in front who were already slightly congested.

Ling Nong, who originally wanted to rush into the management office, immediately lined up quietly and walked into the hall after hearing this.

Chen Jinshu stood at the back of the team and saw from afar three family elders standing in the hall, with Chen Huaiyang standing in front of them to maintain order.

After a while, all the spiritual farmers in Lingjiu Mountain squeezed into the hall. The hall was very spacious and more than 300 spiritual farmers did not feel crowded at all.

These spiritual farmers looked at the three people with hopeful eyes.

Chen Huaiyang took a quick look with his spiritual sense and knew the number of spiritual farmers.

After confirming that nothing was missed, he glanced at the two elders beside him and said loudly, "The family was deeply saddened after learning of the insect swarm on Vulture Peak.

After many days of negotiation, the compensation arrangements were finally finalized. This time, we specially asked two elders to come with the compensation."

"Due to the excessive losses, the family cannot compensate in full. Therefore, we have made an adjustment based on the severity of the losses. The compensation is equivalent to about 30% of the spiritual farm's income, but the tax will be waived!"

After these words were spoken, the whole audience was silent. The spiritual farmers present heard this and for some reason felt a little uncomfortable.

If the spiritual herbs were harvested normally, at least a hundred spiritual stones could be earned in the end. Now only 30% is compensated, which is only 30 to 40 spiritual stones. The most spiritual fields can earn is only 40 to 50.

How can this little amount of spirit stones make up for their losses?

Seeing that the spiritual farmers were silent, Chen Huaiyang sighed softly.

He has made a lot of efforts, but the family's current income from spirit stones is not that good. Not long ago, he compensated the Lin family a lot and also rewarded them to a group of female cultivators who were married into the alliance.

It is very conscientious to be able to compensate for this sudden insect swarm.

"Thirty percent is already a lot. This insect swarm is the most serious in history. The family can only try its best to compensate!" Chen Huaiyang explained immediately after seeing the disappointment in the eyes of many spiritual farmers.

When Chen Jinshu heard this, he didn't seem to be very moved, perhaps because he had expected this or because he knew a lot about his family's character.

Thirty percent, about thirty or forty spirit stones, can only be used by these spirit farmers to buy some spirit seeds, and there is no other compensation for the failure of Vulture Peak to protect it.

"Elder! My spiritual fields total four acres, and they've all been eaten. If I only have forty or fifty spirit stones, how am I supposed to survive?"

"I have three mu of spiritual farmland, and thirty or forty spiritual stones are only enough to buy spiritual seeds. I don't have any spiritual stones left for cultivation and daily life!"

After hearing what Chen Huaiyang said, many spiritual farmers immediately expressed their dissatisfaction in a sad tone.

Chen Huaiyang was also helpless at this time. The spirit stones brought by the two elders were only so many in total. No matter how much compensation he gave, it would be difficult to make up for the loss.

A 30% compensation plus no taxation is already very humane.

"This insect plague has resulted in a loss of all our wealth, though it was an accident. However, if you don't activate the formation, the spiritual medicine will be left unprotected. You must bear the consequences yourself."

"We saved a few spirit stones, but ended up causing greater losses. Can the family be blamed for this?" The elder next to Chen Huaiyang became displeased when he heard the attitude of these spirit farmers.

The family is trying hard to compensate them, but they are dissatisfied because the compensation is not enough. How is this different from being ungrateful?

But if the family thinks from the perspective of the spiritual farmers, they will know that most of the spiritual farmers rely on these two and a half acres of land to make a living.

Nowadays, it is difficult to even maintain life. As a cultivator, I cannot do without spirit stones.

Chen Huaiyang was listening on the side and also thought that what he said was inappropriate, but he did not refute it in public.

"This is the unanimous decision of the family elders! If you want compensation, come up and claim it." He shook his head slightly.

In order to prevent the ignorant elder from angering Lingnong and making the situation more difficult to handle, he continued speaking after he finished speaking.

Seeing this, the spiritual farmers could only swallow their pain silently, and no one could empathize with them.

The spiritual farmers who subsequently suffered losses lined up to get family compensation from Chen Huaiyang.

Three quarters of an hour later, the compensation was finally distributed.

Chen Huaiyang looked at the registration book and nodded after confirming that it was correct.

The compensation was issued, and the stone in his heart finally fell.

Soon, Chen Huaiyang caught sight of Chen Jinshu from the Spiritual Farmers' team. Thinking of her achievements, he chuckled and said to the elder beside him, "Brother Wenchang! Jinshu discovered the locust swarm in time and reported it promptly, thus preventing greater losses. I wonder what reward the family has given her?"

The two were slightly stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and embarrassment.

They seemed to have forgotten.

The losses caused by this insect swarm were too great, and there was only one person to be rewarded. They were eager for compensation and had long forgotten about Chen Jinshu's reward.

Chen Jinshu looked at the two people who were talking awkwardly in private, sneered, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"Did you forget about my reward?"
