Since the cultivation level broke through the eighth level of Qi training, the spiritual energy in the spiritual soil can no longer satisfy Xu Chunniang's daily practice, and its effectiveness has even declined.
She tried to continue using the moisturizing technique on the spiritual soil, but the spiritual energy in this batch of spiritual soil was already saturated, and she could no longer absorb even the slightest bit of spiritual energy.
Since the quality of spiritual soil cannot be improved, we can only start with quantity.
Enough quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
Xu Chunniang created thirty pieces of spiritual soil in one breath, and coupled with the ability of the ultimate spirit gathering array, she could barely maintain her previous cultivation progress.
In just seven and a half years, he went from the early stage of the eighth level of Qi training to the late stage, and was only a hair away from a breakthrough.
She spent a lot of effort to create these spiritual soils, so naturally they cannot be wasted.
The spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, so bringing this batch of spiritual soil will be of great use.
Xu Chunniang skillfully dug out the spiritual soil, neatly stored them in the storage bag.
After doing this, she put away the top-grade spirit gathering array and the top-grade concealment array.
After putting away the high-grade concealment array at the entrance of the cave, the cave was directly exposed.
Although the location of the cave is underground and the entrance is extremely hidden, there is no guarantee that it will not be discovered by other disciples.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, took out the middle-grade concealment array plate that had been idle for a long time, and re-deployed it at the entrance of the cave.
Although the effectiveness of the middle-grade concealment array is not as good as that of the high-grade concealment array, it is still better than nothing. Moreover, this place is desolate and there are really no disciples coming here.
Three days later, Xu Chunniang arrived at the entrustment hall as scheduled.
All disciples who have accepted overseas assignments will be uniformly arranged by the sect today to station in the mortal world and carry out their ten-year overseas assignments.
When Xu Chunniang arrived, almost all the other disciples were here.
Most of them have reached the seventh level of Qi training and above, and all of them look very old.
Among them, there are several people with wrinkled faces and gray hair, and it is obvious at a glance that they will not live long.
A middle-aged man said with a sad face, "I have been trapped in the sixth level of Qi training for more than ten years. I am about to reach my sixtieth year, but there is no hope of breaking through the seventh level of Qi training. I think the path of cultivation in this life has come to an end.
.
It would be better to go to the mortal world to marry a wife and have children. Maybe I can give birth to a child with extraordinary spiritual talents and start this path of cultivation again for me.
So I went to ask the manager and gave me a recommendation."
When several other people heard this, they all felt sad.
A white-haired old woman sighed, "The road to Taoism is difficult. Unfortunately, I have been practicing Taoism for ninety years. I am already a hundred years old, but I have stopped at practicing the ninth level of Qi. There is no hope of breakthrough."
Those who choose to go on missions are either middle-aged male cultivators who know that there is no hope of breakthrough and give up early, or they are like this white-haired old woman who does not have much life left.
Xu Chunniang was just over 20 years old. Standing among a group of people, she looked out of place.
The others only glanced at her and then looked away.
They have stayed in the outer sect for a long time, so they naturally know that disciples who are sent out at such a young age often end up like this after offending someone.
These people have lived a long time, and they are all human spirits. They stand far away from Xu Chunniang, for fear of getting into trouble.
They have suffered enough and can no longer bear any retaliation.
Xu Chunniang was so happy that these people were old enough to be her elders. Even if she really talked to her, she didn't know what to say.
After waiting for a while, the steward Huang who entrusted the main hall arrived late.
She glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone is here? Let's start the distribution directly."
"Steward Huang, my hometown is in Wule County. I beg the steward to arrange for me to go to Wule County to carry out the sect's garrison duty."
Before Guanshi Huang could speak, the white-haired old woman from before spoke with a pleading look on her face, "I am old and just want to return to my roots. I hope Guanshi Huang can be accommodating."
As soon as the white-haired old woman finished speaking, the others began to plead for mercy one after another.
"Steward Huang, my hometown is in Shaodong County. I have not been back to my hometown for more than eighty years. Please ask the steward to arrange for me to go to Shaodong County."
"Master Steward, I am already fifty-six years old. I wonder if my parents in my hometown are still alive..."
"quiet."
Manager Huang frowned slightly, "Did you accept the mission from the sect, or did you go home to visit your relatives and ancestors?"
Everyone fell silent instantly, not daring to speak any more for fear of offending Manager Huang.
Manager Huang's expression softened slightly, "The sect has already made arrangements for this overseas assignment, so how can we let you pick and choose?"
After speaking, she distributed the assigned garrison orders and maps to each disciple.
After everyone took the garrison order and saw clearly where the garrison was, they looked sad when they heard Manager Huang say again.
"But if you want to exchange, you can negotiate now and then come to my place to register."
Their faces suddenly changed from sadness to joy, and they thanked Manager Huang one after another.
"The steward is kind-hearted and kind-hearted. He will surely be able to break through the ninth level of Qi training as soon as possible and build the supreme foundation."
"Guanshi Huang has a kind heart. Even with the golden elixir, there is still a glimmer of possibility."
Xu Chunniang put away the map and looked at the garrison order in her hand. The whole body of the order was green.
On the front is an extremely elegant Chinese character "Zhu", with the word "Xiaoyao" and the small Tai Chi Yin Yang fish emblem on the lower right.
What this emblem represents is Xiaoyao Sect.
Xu Chunniang turned the token over, and the two characters "Yao Yue" were written on the back. The corresponding place was Yao Yue County, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Xujiacun belonged to Wuchang County under the Great Qin State. It was separated from Yaoyue County by two counties, so it wasn't that far away.
Before I go to Yao Yue to take up the garrison, I can just go home.
There are three countries under the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao Sect. In addition to Da Qin, there are also Da Zhou and Da Chu.
Fortunately, this time, I was not assigned to Dazhou or Dachu.
Zhou and Chu were located to the west of Xiaoyao Zong, but Qin was due east and was not in the way at all.
Although Manager Huang has said that he can go through the registration and exchange process after negotiating privately.
But everyone else treated Xu Chunniang like a snake or a scorpion, and I'm afraid no one would be willing to switch with her.
Now being able to be directly assigned to the counties and cities of Da Qin is the best result.
Xu Chunniang's expectation was good. Others were negotiating to change the assigned counties. The scene was very lively, but no one cared about her place, as if she had been forgotten.
She didn't care, thinking that she would be able to leave Xiaoyao Sect and go home soon, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.
I haven’t been back for seventeen years. My parents are almost fifty. I wonder if they would recognize Xu Chunniang, the third girl who left home when she was young.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, thinking that she should be able to recognize it.
Although the color of the birthmark on her face has faded, the size and position have not changed. With this birthmark, her family will not be mistaken.
After registering all the transfers, Manager Huang gave instructions to everyone.
"Everyone is lined up and ready to receive the contribution points. Once you have received the contribution points, you can leave the mountain and go to the county where you are stationed. You must arrive at the county where you are stationed within six months. No delay."
The rewards for overseas missions are extremely generous. One year is one hundred points, and after ten years, there are a thousand contribution points.
The sect will distribute half first, and then distribute the remaining half after completion.
However, it is very likely that these monks who have only a short life span will never be able to wait for the day when they return to their sect to pay their dues.
