Natural Fairy Species

 Chapter 68 Sect Mission

On the outskirts of Fang City, monks and laypeople lived together at the entrance of the alley. They built a few houses with moso bamboo and thatch and turned them into restaurants, grocery stores, etc.

 Qingfengmen’s management of the city is limited to the four streets within the formation, and it basically lets it go outside the city.

But there is one rule: No matter how you set up a stall to sell goods, you are not allowed to erect a formal shop. Otherwise, the deacon of the market will lead people to tear it down the next day and expel the offending monks from the market.

Hence why no one dares to build houses or shops in a second-class location like Stall Plaza, so simple stalls are simply set up.

Only in the outer areas can casual cultivators make a living and build a few half-living and half-business houses to do some simple business.

Several Qingfengmen servant disciples were sitting in a restaurant, ordering a few side dishes, a pot of spiritual tea, and whispering in low voices.

The casual cultivators all around cast admiring glances at a few people. The Qingfeng Sect’s standard Taoist robes had maple leaves on the corners. No cultivator family or casual cultivator in the entire Black Mountain dared to make similar Taoist robes.

“Qingfeng sect disciples, look at them, they all have storage bags, they are worthy of the famous sect.”

“Tch, as a handyman disciple... we will also sign up for the next session, and we will definitely pass!”

Two young men at the first level of Qi refining put their heads together, daydreaming about the scenery after becoming disciples of the sect.

“I heard that Qingfeng Sect’s recruitment standards are improving every time. By the time we get there…”

 “We will work hard when we get home, we will definitely be able to do it!”

“Junior Brother Lu, why hasn’t that big shot in the inner sect you mentioned come yet? For this task, we pooled our money to get through to the deacon, and Junior Brother Xun also stole the magic weapon from home, so there’s no room for loss!”

Others never expected that the Qingfengmen servant disciple, who was proud of his reputation in their eyes, was full of anxiety and was in great trouble.

The leading bald man had a fierce look on his face. As soon as he entered the sect from a rough background, he gathered several handyman disciples around him.

 There are only two types of people among the servant disciples who want to have real prestige and can speak up.

 First, if you have advanced cultivation, you may have the opportunity to be promoted to an outer sect disciple.

 The second type is having a background, where elders, relatives and friends hold important positions within the sect.

The bald man did neither. After suffering two losses, he honestly kept a low profile.

 This small group of people is currently gathering just to avoid being bullied by the elders of the sect and to receive some normal sect tasks.

 Otherwise, if you are tasked with time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks such as mining veins and visiting mortal towns several times in a row, what this handyman disciple does is not much different from that of casual cultivators outside.

 In recent years, handyman disciples with special skills have become more and more popular.

Disciples like them, who have no cultivation and are not proficient in any of the various arts, have an increasingly difficult life.

“Senior Brother Cai, don’t worry. Senior Brother Bai from the inner sect is a man of faith. Since he promised me to help, he will definitely not break his promise.”

Lu Song said with a solemn face and loudly.

"Who doesn't know whether what you said is reliable? The old boy begged us to join him before, but the manager of Lingzhi Hall took a fancy to his farming skills, allocated spiritual fields and rewarded elixirs, and immediately looked down on us. The team found an excuse to quit!”

A disciple with triangle eyes next to Senior Brother Cai said angrily, with a lot of resentment in his tone.

"Don't you just pull the flag casually to avoid being kicked out of the team by Boss Cai?"

Senior Brother Cai couldn't help but show a hint of doubt. It was a bit outrageous to think that a mere handyman disciple could build up connections with the inner sect and ask the other party to condescend to help.

 I was in a hurry at the time. It was rare for me to accept a sect mission with rich rewards. I just wanted to find a master to help me, but I didn’t think deeply about whether it was reasonable.

Lu Song's face turned red. It seemed that Old Man Tong did something wrong.

 The two of them are weak in the sect, and it is extremely difficult to make any contribution.

 Old Tong found an opportunity to chat with Junior Brother Xun, Triangle Eyes, and intended to get closer to Boss Cai's team.

Once this sect mission is completed and each person is given at least 30 points of contribution, Old Man Tong will be able to reach the third level of Qi refining. If not for the strong recommendation of Lu Song and Junior Brother Xun, Boss Cai would not want to add another person to share the profit. Harvested.

 With Old Tong’s cultivation level, he can’t contribute much in the task.

Who would have thought that last month, the Lingtian field that Old Tong was responsible for had a good harvest, and the amount of Lingmi turned in increased by a full 40% compared to last year, which made the manager of Lingzhi Hall in charge of this matter overjoyed.

Not only did he allocate another hundred acres of spiritual land and two Taoist priests to Old Tong, he also gave him a small barrier-breaking pill.

The happy old man Tong simply withdrew from the team and stopped participating in this sect mission on the grounds that he wanted to retreat and take pills.

“Senior Brother Tong really wants to come, but if he doesn’t advance to the middle stage of Qi Refining at his age, he may never have a chance in this life, so he can’t wait to take the pill.”

Lu Song was not good at speaking at first, and he felt that he was wrong, and he stuttered when he spoke.

“He told me before he went into seclusion that he would hold a banquet when he returned to apologize to all the brothers.”

"Hmph, I won't associate with him in the future. Let him be a spiritual farmer... It's best if what you say is true. All our brothers' wealth will be invested in this mission. Once I find out that your words are untrue, you will deceive me. I want you to look good!"

Senior Brother Cai snorted coldly and turned around without saying anything more.

About half an hour later, when several servant disciples were restless and their patience was exhausted, the wooden door of the restaurant opened and a young monk walked in.

 “Senior Brother Bai, this way!”

Lu Song’s eyes lit up, he stood up and greeted happily.

Boss Cai and others looked serious, straightened their robes, stood up to greet them, and looked at them curiously.

"As expected, he is very young. He is probably about the same age as Junior Brother Xun... He is not handsome in appearance, but his appearance gives people a feeling of spring breeze. It is appropriate to describe him as gentle as jade... He is as hopeful and inquiring about information as he is. Senior brother is a low-key person, but his cultivation is actually among the best in the inner sect."

Boss Cai had several thoughts in his mind, and he bowed and saluted with the other two servant disciples.

 “Sit down, there’s no need to see anyone else.”

Bai Zichen naturally took the first place in the middle. The identities of inner disciples and handyman disciples were so different that there was no need to be humble in such a small place.

 Waving his hand, a soundproof spell has been placed around the table to prevent others from hearing the conversation.

"Junior Brother Lu said that you have taken on a sect mission and are unable to cope with it. Do you want me to help?"

In the past year, Bai Zichen has devoted himself to training, and even the inner sect has come to trouble him, which makes him a little disappointed.

At the later stage of Qi refining, the Qi-Building Pills were ineffective, and the only thing that helped him improve his cultivation was the Purple Ginseng Pills.

 Compared with Qi Buqi Pills, Zishen Pills are several times more powerful, so it naturally takes more time to refine and absorb them.

 It took one year to use one bottle to reach the peak of the seventh level of Qi refining.

It happened that Lu Song came to ask for help, saying that he needed help with a sect mission.

Bai Zichen had been living in the cave for almost a year and was preparing to go out for activities. Since Lu Song was also his collaborator, the opportunity to open the secret realm fell on him, so he agreed after thinking about it for a while.
