Chapter 2 Part-time work is impossible
On top of a towering mountain in Taiyizong, a large pavilion surrounded by dozens of buildings stands.
The entrance hall in front of the pavilion is wide and grand, and the plaque above is engraved with three large characters of "Xingdian".
However, the acting hall seemed quite deserted. From time to time, disciples' weapons flew by, seeming to speed up a bit, for fear of being detained.
In front of the acting hall, a young man said:
"Senior Brother Le.
I take care of the medicine field in the morning, feed the spiritual beasts at noon, maintain spirituality for the elixirs in the afternoon, and go out on patrol in the evening.
So what’s wrong with me doing this?”
Chen Xuan looked at Le Yuanze, whom he had just met. He asked around before coming to this place that provided tasks for disciples to earn spiritual stones.
Although he walked for several hours in the huge Taiyi Sect, as a fourth-level Qi practitioner, he did not feel very tired.
"Junior brother, the deacon will cry after hearing your words.
The disciples in the sect just deal with some daily necessary things, but they do so reluctantly, for fear of delaying their practice.
But you are lucky enough to queue from early morning to evening, and then to early morning tomorrow!
Senior brother, I would like to advise you, how can monks like us not think about making progress for the sake of external things! Cultivation is the key."
Le Yuanze shook his head and looked at Chen Xuan in front of him. This junior brother clearly exuded the aura of the fourth level of Qi training, but he wanted to do other things all day long.
But it also amused him, thinking that these tasks that he usually had to catch his disciples to do, today someone actually came to his door.
"Ahem, senior brother, I don't know something. I am a disciple of Pseudo Spiritual Root. I only entered the mountain gate after I upgraded my skills to the fourth level.
In fact, the purpose is to earn some spiritual stones to buy two magic weapons. When the time comes to return to the secular world, it will be like a god descending to earth!"
Chen Xuan said with great sincerity. He didn't know if he could get away with this temporary lie.
"Ah~ I see!"
Le Yuanze looked at Chen Xuan as if he had an epiphany, and nodded to him repeatedly.
This sight shocked Chen Xuan. After all, he was a senior who couldn't see through his own cultivation. How could he be so easy to deceive?
"This makes sense. I didn't expect my junior brother to have such an experience. I have been practicing in the sect since I was a child, and I have never experienced it in the secular world.
The deacons in the sect all tell us that we must not be tainted with the world, but we must taste all its aspects.
Come to think of it, junior brother is addicted to it."
Le Yuanze said regretfully.
However, I also thought that this junior brother has a false spiritual root and has no connection with the Great Dao. Why not go to the secular world and live a hundred years, with glory and wealth?
"Yes, yes! That's how it is. Please, senior brother, please agree to my request!"
Chen Xuan was overjoyed, this senior brother was better than him! He just said a few words and was fooled into it.
I must have been tricked into doing this hard work by some deacon.
"Junior brother, I will handle it for you right now."
With that said, Le Yuanze disappeared from the acting hall. About a quarter of an hour later, he appeared in front of Chen Xuan holding three scrolls.
"Junior brother, these are the things you need to pay attention to when handling things. Once completed, the deacon over there will sign it, and then you can come and get your monthly spiritual stones.
As for the night patrol mission, it can only be carried out by a disciple at the seventh level of Qi training. Senior brother, I have been practicing for more than ten years and I just reached this level a few days ago."
Le Yuanze smiled and handed the scroll to Chen Xuan. Speaking of cultivation, he also broke through to the seventh level not long ago and is very happy now.
"Junior brother, why don't you put the scroll into the storage bag?"
Le Yuanze looked at Chen Xuan who was holding a scroll and talking to him stupidly, and asked.
However, when he turned around and looked around, he saw Chen Xuan who was almost impoverished and had nothing but clothes. He patted his thigh and said in frustration:
"Oops! I forgot. With my seniority, I am not a formal disciple, but you can go to the market to buy these items after you earn enough spiritual stones."
While speaking, Le Yuanze took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xuan, pointing out where the storage bags could be purchased.
Chen Xuan saluted Le Yuanze in a dignified manner.
This thing is important to him, and he won't have to wander around the sect in the future.
Even the places to go to the Spiritual Beast Academy and the Medicine Field were recorded in detail, which made it much easier to complete the task, which made Chen Xuan's favor towards him increase a lot.
"Thank you, Brother Le. There is one more thing I would like to ask you. I only know that this spirit stone can be used to purchase magic weapons and other objects, but I don't know what the effect will be if it is used for practice?"
Chen Xuan said that he was most concerned about the spiritual stone. After all, he had used this small thing to break through the fourth level in succession.
"These are low-grade spiritual stones, but I don't recommend that junior brother use them for cultivation."
Le Yuanze took out a spiritual stone from his storage bag and continued:
"If junior brother insists on using it for practice, he only needs to hold it in his hand and absorb the spiritual power.
However, low-grade spiritual stones have little effect and can only be used for two or three days of meditation. After using them, they become useless stones.
And the spiritual stones absorbed must have corresponding spiritual roots. For example, if you don’t have fire spiritual roots, you can’t absorb fire-attributed spiritual stones for practice.”
Le Yuanze explained carefully without any impatience. After all, Chen Xuan had taken on so many tasks at once, and he would be able to get one more spiritual stone at the end of the month.
"Will it turn into useless stone after being absorbed..."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene in the cave. After he absorbed those few spiritual stones, there wasn't even a bit left.
As a person with five attribute spiritual roots, the five element spiritual stones can be used for cultivation.
'I think it should be like this. Although it is difficult for me to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone can be infinitely amplified in my body.
As long as he has enough spiritual stones, he can also improve his cultivation like those disciples! Even more terrifying than them!'
Chen Xuan thought in his heart that his belief in Lingshi was even stronger and he wanted to work!
Chen Xuan bid farewell to Le Yuanze and ran down the mountain non-stop. Tomorrow will be the official work, and he must first familiarize himself with the route.
And in the big competition three years later, I must win, otherwise I will be expelled from the sect. Where will I find a job?
Chen Xuande was running around to get acquainted with the whole Taiyi Sect. As evening approached, he casually found a lawn to sleep on. His cave was too far away and he might not be able to make it in time.
The next morning, I got up early and started running to the major mountain peaks.
In the morning, I go to the medicine field to take care of young herbs, at noon I bring food to feed the spiritual beasts, and in the afternoon I go to the alchemy room to inject spiritual power into the elixirs to maintain their medicinal properties.
So and so, three years later.
…
In the sky above Taiyi Sect, a young man wearing a sect's Taoist robe was flying in high spirits, holding a magic weapon at his feet and holding his hands behind his back.
People who didn't know thought he was happy because he had just broken through a small realm, but he was the only one who knew that it was because the end of the month was approaching and he would be able to get this month's spiritual stone soon!
Chen Xuan came to the front of the acting hall. The place seemed very crowded at the end of the month. After all, no disciple would be vague when it comes to getting money.
In the past two years, Chen Xuan only bought one flying magic weapon and a storage bag, leaving all the other spiritual stones useless. Now he has more than two hundred spiritual stones, making him a very rich man!
Chen Xuan sighed without warning: "Three years, these three years have been really hard."
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Chen Xuan squeezed through the disciples and ran towards his spiritual stone.
In a few days there will be a sect competition.
He considered going to Taixuan Pagoda later to buy a few spell books, improve his cultivation level, and win in a low-key manner.
After all, my identity as a pseudo-spiritual root cannot be too public to avoid being traced.
"Um!?"
The rules, location, and...rewards for this competition have been announced in advance in front of the acting hall.
Chen Xuan was fascinated by what he saw and couldn't help but read out:
"The first place has five hundred spirit stones and a high-level magic weapon.
The second place has five hundred spiritual stones and one bottle of elixir.
The third place is four hundred spiritual stones, on the second floor of Taixuan Tower, choose a book of spells.
…
Tenth place, three hundred spiritual stones, an intermediate magic weapon."
Chen Xuan touched the spiritual stone that was awarded in hundreds in shock, and thought about the painful experience in the past three years:
If you don't do well, you will be deducted money by the deacon. If you wake up late, you will be deducted money. If the spirit beast is full and screams twice too much, it will be deducted money!
Chen Xuan circulated his skills and tried his best to calm himself down, and finally...
"It's impossible to work part-time! It's impossible in this life!"
Chapter completed!
