On the outskirts of the market, monks and laymen lived together at the entrance of the alley. They built a few houses with moso bamboo and thatch and built 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 thing: 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.
Therefore, no one dares to build houses or shops in a second-class location like Stall Plaza, so simple stalls are set up.
Only in the outer areas can casual repairmen make a break, build a few half-living and half-business houses, and 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 around them 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 cultivators 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, handyman disciples... we will also sign up for the next session, and we will definitely pass!"
Two young men who were at the first level of Qi refining put their heads together, daydreaming about the scenery after becoming disciples of the sect.
"But 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, and 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, a few of us pooled our money to get through to the deacon, and Junior Brother Xun also stole the magic weapon from home, so there is no room for error!"
Others never expected that the Qingfeng Sect's handyman disciple, who was proud of their reputation in their eyes, was filled with anxiety and was in great trouble.
The leading bald man had a fierce look on his face. He was from a rough background and gathered several handyman disciples around him as soon as he entered the sect.
It's just that there are only two types of people among the handyman disciples who want to have real prestige and can speak up.
First, if you have advanced cultivation, you have a chance to be promoted to an outer disciple.
The second type is having a background, where elders, relatives and friends hold important positions within the sect.
The bald man didn't want to do either. 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 we are forced to do 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, among the handyman disciples, those with certain skills have become more and more popular.
Disciples like them, who have no cultivation base and are not proficient in any of the various arts, are living an increasingly difficult life.
"Senior Brother Cai, don't worry. This 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 look on his face.
"Who doesn't know whether what you are saying is reliable? The old man begged us to join him before, but the manager of Lingzhi Hall took a fancy to his farming skills, and he was given spiritual fields and elixirs, so he 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 just pull the flag just to avoid being kicked out of the team by Boss Cai, right?"
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 have connections with the inner sect and ask the other party to condescend to help.
I was so anxious at the time that it was rare for me to accept a sect mission with rich rewards. I just wanted to find a master to help me without thinking 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 for them to make any contribution.
Old Man 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, each person will be given at least 30 points of contribution. Old Tong has only reached 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 to the mission.
Who would have thought that the Lingtian field that Old Tong was in charge of had a good harvest last month, and the amount of Lingmei 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 did not participate in this sect mission on the grounds that he wanted to retreat and take elixirs.
"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 the chance in this life, so he can't wait to take the elixir."
Lu Song was not good at speaking, and he felt that he was wrong, so 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 and sisters."
"Hmph, I won't associate with him in the future. Let him be a good 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 untruthful and deceitful,
To 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 getting 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. They also straightened their robes, stood up to greet them, and looked at them curiously.
"As expected, he is very young, 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... Hope and inquiring news, this
Senior Brother Bai is a low-key person, but his cultivation is actually among the best among the inner sects."
Boss Cai had several thoughts in his mind, and he bowed and saluted with the other two servant disciples.
"Sit down, 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.
After 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 you?"
In the past year, Bai Zichen devoted himself to training, and even the inner sect came to trouble him, which made him a little disappointed.
At the later stage of Qi refining, the Qi-boosting pills were ineffective, and the only thing that helped his cultivation was the Purple Ginseng Pills.
Compared with Buqi Pills, Zishen Pills are several times more powerful, and naturally take more time to refine and absorb.
It took one year to use only one bottle to cultivate the seventh level of Qi Refining to its peak.
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 a little thought.
