In the following time, except for recording the growth of the strange fish three times a day, Chu Yan spent the rest of the time practicing in the time and space cage.
The thirty-day mission is a full ninety days in the time and space cage.
The extension of time and the incredible cultivation method of directly swallowing spiritual stones made Chu Yan's realm advance by leaps and bounds.
By the time the mission ended, the spiritual energy in Chu Yan's body had accumulated to an astonishing level, and he vaguely felt that he had signs of a breakthrough.
"There are still a few days left." Chu Yan counted the days. Today is January 7th. After completing the task, there are still thirteen days left before the Spirit Disciple Ranking Competition begins.
Chu Yan cleaned the dust in the wooden house and prepared to leave.
But just as he was going out, he suddenly found a middle-aged man with a beard standing outside the door.
Chu Yan was already surprised when he appeared in front of the wooden house silently without letting himself notice.
At this moment, this middle-aged man exuded an aura as majestic as a mountain, which made Chu Yan find it difficult to breathe.
Seeing that the other party's service was different from that of ordinary disciples, Chu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, he cupped his hands and said: "Disciple Chu Yan, I have seen the deacon."
His words were a test, but also a way to divert the other party's attention and weaken the other party's pressure.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, Chu Yan suddenly felt the pressure around him lighten up, and most of the feeling like needles on his back dissipated.
"Hmm." The middle-aged man was very arrogant. He just nodded and walked into the house. He walked around the wooden house. From time to time, he would wipe it with his fingers on the tabletop and window eaves, and then
Come up close and take a look.
The other party's movements were incomprehensible, as if they were checking hygiene. Chu Yan was confused and felt that the other party was the chief eunuch responsible for supervising cleanliness in the palace.#@$&
It's just that eunuchs don't have such thick beards.
At the thought, Chu Yan couldn't help but want to laugh.
The middle-aged man seemed to be aware of Chu Yan's actions, glared at him, turned around and walked towards the backyard, and at the same time said: "Come with me."
The other party did not refute Chu Yan's title to him just now, which was obviously acquiescing to his identity as a deacon.
Since he was an elder of the sect, Chu Yan did not refute and followed him to the backyard.%&(&
The deacon didn't even look at the strange fish in the fish pond. He walked straight to the daily record book, flipped to the end, and read it carefully, occasionally raising his eyes to glance at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan lowered his hands at this moment and stood respectfully aside.
At this point, if you still can't guess the identity of the deacon, then he is a fool.
This deacon is obviously the "miser" who issued this task.
But what Chu Yan was confused about was what the other party was doing here at this time. He had never heard that a deacon was required to check the completion of the disciple's task.
At this time, the deacon spoke: "One day's record was broken twice. What happened?"
The daily record should be once in the morning, noon and evening, a total of three times. Chu Yan used the Small Phaseless Point Star Finger for the first time that day. Unexpectedly, the energy and blood was consumed too much, and he was unconscious in the time and space cage for two days, so that day
Of the records, there were two failed records.
Being questioned by the other party at this moment, Chu Yan answered honestly: "The disciple made a mistake in his practice that day. He lost too much energy and blood, which caused him to be unconscious for most of the day, so he was unable to record it in time."
"Then do you know that because of your mistake, this mission can be completely judged as a failure, in which case you will not get the mission reward, and for a new apprentice like you, the sect's contribution points
It's extremely important, do you know that?" The deacon said sternly, trying to make the consequences very serious.
Chu Yan couldn't help curling his lips and thought to himself: "Your two sect contribution points are much less than what I have. If I tell you, the new apprentices you mentioned already have more than thirty points.
How can you still say something like this to your contribution points?"
Although he was slandering in his heart, Chu Yan didn't show any signs of it on his face. Instead, he said without being humble or arrogant: "If a disciple makes a deviation in his task, he should be punished. Thank you for the reminder, deacon."
Seeing that Chu Yan was not frightened by him, a strange color flashed in the deacon's eyes, and he immediately said: "Then why don't you make up the records of these two times? You know, the records of every day are actually the same, and there are only
You can make it up by yourself, and no one will know."
Hearing this, Chu Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This is the first time I heard that a deacon in the sect advised his disciples to cheat and cheat.
Although this is not impossible, it goes against Chu Yan's original intention.
At this moment, Chu Yan straightened his face and said: "Although no one will know, the path of immortality that the disciple is walking requires a clear thought and courageous progress. If you do not observe and record it, then it will go against the disciple's original intention.
From now on, I may not be able to help but think about this time day and night, leaving inner demons in my heart. In order to contribute to two mere sects, I have lost my enterprising spirit. Disciples can still distinguish the importance of this trade-off."
Chu Yan spoke from his true heart, his eyes were burning, and he had a clear conscience.
The deacon looked at Chu Yan deeply for a long time, as if trying to distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words. At the end, he nodded: "Okay."
"If the deacon has nothing else to do, then the disciple will go back and hand in the mission first." Chu Yan didn't know what the deacon was talking about here, so he planned to ignore whether the mission was successful or not.
, hand it in first and then talk about it.
But the deacon stopped him at this moment and threw something.
Chu Yan caught it and found that it was a dark sign about the size of a palm. The texture of the sign could not be seen. It was heavy and warm in the hand, and there were some winding lines carved on the surface.
Seeming to see the confusion in Chu Yan's eyes, the deacon said: "I know that the reward for this task may be a little less, so this can be considered as my compensation."
As the deacon spoke, he pointed to the dark sign and said, "That was obtained from a secret place during my travels. What I can tell you is that what is painted on that sign is also from a secret place."
Map, if you have the opportunity to go in in the future, you may have some adventure based on this sign."
If the deacon hadn't been right in front of him now, Chu Yan would have rolled his eyes a hundred times.
What kind of compensation is this? It's just a big pie.
A monk may never encounter a secret realm in his life. If you give me such a thing, you might as well compensate me with ten spiritual stones.
However, in terms of the texture of this wooden plaque, it is indeed rare. Chu Yan plans to take it back and keep it to see if he can use it when refining weapons in the future. He will treat it as a refining piece given to him by the deacon.
The material is ready.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan bowed: "Thank you very much, deacon. I will leave now."
Watching Chu Yan gradually walk away until he disappeared from sight, a look of interest appeared in the deacon's eyes: "This kid is really interesting."
After saying that, he took out a communication talisman.
If Chu Yan were present at this moment, he would definitely find a familiar pattern on this communication talisman.
