Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan dragged their exhausted bodies back to their residence in the outer gate hall.
"Junior Brother Zhao issues a challenge to the 'candidate inner disciple'?"
Nangong Fan was very surprised when he heard the news.
Yang Qingshan sighed, feeling a little guilty, but more worried.
Worried about Zhao Feng, and also worried about the future of himself and others.
"Junior Brother Zhao, you were too impulsive during the day. I know you were doing it for my own good..."
Yang Qingshan and the two found Zhao Feng.
The two of them were not optimistic about Zhao Feng's challenge.
"Junior Brother Zhao, I know you have strong fighting ability, but if you want to challenge Ji Fengyun, you have to wait at least until you break through the ninth level, and the chance of winning will be higher. Besides, there is a strict limit on the number of times you can challenge a candidate inner disciple, and you only have one chance every six months."
Nangong Fan couldn't help but complain.
No one would think highly of Zhao Feng with his eighth-level solid cultivation and challenge to the half-step transcendence realm.
In Nangong Fan's view, Zhao Feng also wasted the opportunity to challenge.
If Zhao Feng fails this challenge, the next challenge will have to wait half a year.
In the eyes of other outer sect disciples, Zhao Feng's behavior was completely ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, and he was hurling eggs at rocks.
"Haha, okay, in three days, we can also see the strength of the 'candidate inner disciples'."
Xiao Yun said to Princess Yunxiangmeng with a smile on his face.
After entering the Xiaoyue Sect, Xiao Yun reached the ninth level of cultivation and was weighing whether to challenge the candidate inner disciples.
At least for now, he doesn't have much confidence.
Zhao Feng's reckless behavior happened to serve as a "pathfinder" for him, so naturally Xiao Yun couldn't be happier.
inside the house.
Zhao Feng doesn't care about other people's opinions, but he still needs to give a brief explanation to the two senior brothers.
"My target is the inner sect disciples. If I can't even deal with these marginal outer sect disciples, how do I have the right to enter the vast world of sects?"
There was a profound sense of confidence in Zhao Feng's voice.
Nangong Fan and Yang Qingshan looked at each other.
Zhao Feng's qualifications are not as good as theirs, but his "ambition" is much greater than theirs. He seems to want to trample the entire outer sect under his feet before he gives up.
…
the next morning.
"Deputy Deacon Wang" who announced the assignment of duties yesterday came to the residence of the outer disciples again.
"Meet the butler!"
The nearby outer disciples saluted respectfully.
Deacon level is a level higher than ordinary inner disciples.
Deputy Deacon Wang nodded lightly and came to Zhao Feng's residence.
The new outer sect disciples nearby looked sideways at Zhao Feng as he walked out.
"Zhao Feng, your duties will be assigned soon. Please follow me to the outer gate hall first."
Deputy Deacon Wang smiled and looked kind.
"Thank you, Steward King."
Zhao Feng looked respectful and followed Deputy Deacon Wang away.
This scene made the nearby outer disciples puzzled.
If it is a general duty, Deputy Deacon Wang will directly announce it.
But Zhao Feng's situation was a bit strange. His position was not announced the first time, and he was taken to the main hall of the Outer Sect Hall the second time, where the important figures of the Outer Sect were located.
Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan looked at each other and couldn't help but worry about Zhao Feng.
The three of them, as disciples of Xu Ran, Marquis of Guangjun, had already laid fateful grudges with senior elders before they entered the Xiaoyue Sect, dooming their next journey to be more difficult than others.
Walk for a long time.
Deputy Deacon Wang brought Zhao Feng to the main hall of the outer gate hall.
This is the core of the outer door and governs various things above and below the outer door.
It is said that the master of the outer gate hall is an elder of the sect and an expert in the true spiritual realm.
An expert in the True Spirit Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the Xiaoyue Sect, with a dragon that never comes to an end, and practicing in seclusion all year round, how can he have the time to care about these complicated matters?
Therefore, the hall master basically doesn't care much about daily affairs, big or small.
The person who really holds the power is the deputy hall leader.
By analogy, in each hall of Xiaoyue Sect, the people who really take care of the affairs are the deputy hall masters.
"Zhao Feng, you are here. Several deputy hall masters are waiting inside."
The deacon Qiu who took the entrance examination was standing at the entrance of the hall.
Deacon Qiu and Deputy Deacon Wang are both affiliated with the Waimen Hall, and they are relatively familiar with each other.
Deputy Deacon Wang had already learned from Deacon Qiu about Zhao Feng's situation in the third level of the assessment.
Therefore, I am cautious towards Zhao Feng and Deputy Deacon Wang and will not offend easily.
After Zhao Feng saw Deacon Qiu, he immediately entered a side hall.
In the side hall, three extremely powerful auras came from, which were stronger than any sect disciples and deacons Zhao Feng had ever seen.
Among the three scents, two were somewhat familiar, namely an old man in white robes and an old man with a red face.
Zhao Feng knew the two old men. They were Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan whom he met in the third level of the entrance examination.
These two people are both deputy hall masters in the sect and have high status.
In addition, there is a middle-aged man in mysterious clothes in the main hall, with a majestic and cold face, and an aura that is comparable to the two old men.
Zhao Feng estimated that this person should be the deputy hall master of the outer gate hall.
"I have met the three deputy hall masters."
Zhao Feng did not dare to neglect.
He is just an ant at the bottom of the sect. Any one of the three people in front of him has real power in Xiaoyue Sect, and his strength is unfathomable.
Seeing Zhao Feng come in, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan's eyes lit up, and their expressions were somewhat eager.
"Haha, he is Zhao Feng?
Deputy Hall Master Xuanyi glanced at Zhao Feng, slightly curious.
As the deputy head of the Outer Gate Hall, he naturally knows Zhao Feng's origins and information very well.
He knew very well that Zhao Feng's qualifications were that of a low-level spirit body, and it would be difficult to get the attention of someone at the level of deputy hall master.
But it happened that such a disciple with ordinary qualifications actually made two deputy hall masters compete to recruit disciples.
The same is true for the assignment of duties to the outer disciples this time.
The two deputy hall leaders, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan, both want to transfer Zhao Feng to serve under them.
Deputy Hall Master Xuanyi, of course, doesn't mind transferring an outer disciple with ordinary qualifications, as this can also be a favor.
But the problem is that the two senior deputy hall masters are competing for Zhao Feng, the outer disciple, and they won't give in to each other.
Who should be transferred to? This is really a nerve-wracking question.
Under this situation, Deputy Hall Master Xuanyi weighed the situation and called Zhao Feng over to discuss it together.
After a while, Zhao Feng understood the cause and effect of the incident, which was a mixed blessing.
"Zhao Feng, what do you think? Join my Cao Mu Tang and follow me to refine alchemy. Your achievements in the future will be kept safe."
Old man Guan said earnestly.
Alchemist, this seems to be a very popular profession.
Zhao Feng learned that most of the elixirs in the sect came from Cao Mu Tang.
If he could become Old Man Guan's disciple, he would definitely have certain advantages in the supply of spiritual elixirs.
You must know that once an elixir reaches the "spiritual elixir" level, the efficacy of each pill is one level higher than the top elixirs in the world.
"Bah! This little guy's real talent is clearly in the formation. Zhao Feng! As long as you are willing to follow me, I will give you an extra ten pieces of inferior Yuan Jingshi every month. Moreover, there is a strange '
The Qianye Pond covered by the Guiyuan Formation, the spiritual liquid in this pond lasts for thousands of years, has a miraculous effect on body transformation, and also greatly promotes body refining..."
Old Man Zhang refused to give in and offered an even greater temptation.
When Zhao Feng heard this, he felt fascinated again.
According to the salary of his outer disciples, only one second-grade yuan crystal stone is given out every month, which can greatly promote cultivation.
And Old Man Zhang directly gave him a salary of ten yuan.
Not only that, but there is also the Qianye Pond shrouded in a wonderful formation, which can promote body transformation and refinement.
After a dispute, the two deputy hall masters began to curse again.
Deputy Hall Master Xuanyi couldn't help but be astonished and muttered: "I have a compromise method."
what way?
The two old men stopped arguing and looked at Deputy Hall Master Xuanyi at the same time.
"It's better than this. Your conflict is nothing more than whether Zhao Feng is suitable for alchemy or formation formation. Right?"
Deputy Hall Master Xuanyi smiled.
"right."
"That's right."
The two old men nodded in agreement.
"That would be easy. Let Zhao Feng study with the two elders separately for a period of time. Then we can compare one with the other to see which aspect he is better at, and finally make a decision. Wouldn't it be clear at a glance?"
Deputy Hall Master Xuanyi smiled and said.
After listening to this, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan thought for a moment and finally nodded.
At this point, it seems that this is the only way to decide where Zhao Feng belongs.
Next, there is one last question left, where Zhao Feng would like to work first.
"I'll stay with Mr. Guan for a while in Caomu Hall."
Zhao Feng gave the answer.
He chose Cao Mu Tang because the tasks assigned by his two senior brothers were related to Cao Mu Tang.
Among them, Yang Qingshan worked as a farm worker in the medicine field, and Nangong Fan worked as a porter in the ruins of Cao Mu Tang.
If he works in Cao Mu Tang, he can take care of his two senior brothers.
A dispute ends here.
After discussion between the two elders, they decided to let Zhao Feng study in Caomu Hall for ten days before going to Zongwu Hall to follow Old Man Zhang.
In this way, Zhao Feng's duties were assigned.
That morning, he followed Old Man Guan and entered the Caomu Hall to take up a post.
Along the way, Old Man Guan taught Zhao Feng the benefits of being an alchemist, and what future he would have if he followed him.
Zhao Feng naturally kept promising.
"I've met the deputy hall master."
"I've met Mr. Guan."
Entering the Caomu Hall, everyone along the way bowed and saluted.
Zhao Feng could see that these people respected Old Man Guan from the bottom of their hearts.
Among these people, there are many inner disciples and alchemists.
"Then boy, why are you with Mr. Guan?"
While passing by a certain high slope, amid the desolate ruins below, an outer disciple lost his voice.
That outer disciple was none other than Chen Feng, who was defeated by Zhao Feng before.
"Isn't that kid the drug boy that Guan Laoxin took over?"
"Impossible! Mr. Guan is very strict in selecting drug boys. Last time, even an inner disciple was driven away."
The disciples nearby were discussing in low voices.
But depending on the situation, Mr. Guan took Zhao Feng and went straight to the important place of Cao Mu Tang. He seemed to attach great importance to the latter, explaining and admonishing him all the way.
Soon, Old Man Guan brought Zhao Feng to the important place of Cao Mu Tang.
This place exudes a strong medicinal smell, and alchemists or pharmacists can sometimes be seen here.
"Zhao Feng?"
A surprised girl's voice came.
Zhao Feng glanced sideways and saw that the person who spoke was none other than the princess of Xiangyun Kingdom, Yun Xiangmeng.
Yun Xiangmeng is helping a beautiful alchemist sort out the alchemy materials.
"Old Guan."
When the beautiful alchemist woman saw Old Man Guan, she smiled and greeted him.
"Alchemist Yunyao, is this the niece you mentioned?"
Guan Lao said with a smile.
Both parties knew each other, and after a brief introduction, Zhao Feng learned that the alchemist named Yunyao was Yun Xiangmeng's aunt.
"Old Guan, is this new disciple your new medicine boy?"
Alchemist Yunyao looked at Zhao Feng curiously.
"This is the alchemy genius that I snatched from Old Man Zhang with great difficulty."
