The flying boat traveled quickly for seven or eight days and finally arrived at Xiaoyao Sect one early morning.
Along the way, senior fellow apprentices from Xiaoyao Sect had already told this group of newcomers basic information about the world of cultivation and Xiaoyao Sect, so Xu Chunniang was not completely ignorant now.
Although I still don’t quite understand what it means to become an immortal through cultivation, I do understand some common sense about the world of cultivation.
Perhaps because of Wei Dawu, an inner sect disciple, Xu Chunniang was very peaceful on the way. The little girl who had troubled her earlier entered the cabin the next day and never came out again.
The young man in brocade clothes who had been following her failed to enter the cabin. He still stayed outside like everyone else, fighting fiercely with the others, as if he had become the leader.
Because of Xu Chunniang's ugly appearance, others were unwilling to talk to her. Although she was isolated along the way, she ended up in peace.
The flying boat paused for a moment at the outer gate, put down the outer disciples, and then continued flying toward the inner gate.
Xu Chunniang looked at the direction Feizhou left and silently encouraged herself in her heart. One day, she would also enter the inner gate!
The leader, Brother Xiaoyao Sect, led everyone into a hall and smiled and said to a steward who looked like a steward, "Finally, we have brought these new disciples back safely. On the way, we were often pestered by these brats asking questions.
"
The steward glanced at it with a smile on his face.
"This group of disciples is quite good. Your contribution to this mission should make you quite a lot."
"That's not all. It's quite time-consuming to go back and forth."
The leading senior brother smiled helplessly, turned around and said to everyone, "This is the steward brother who is responsible for distributing resources to you during the protection period. All the materials you need within the three years of your new entry can be collected from this steward brother. What's wrong with that?
If you know something, ask him."
After saying that, the leading senior brother left the hall briskly as if he had put down his burden.
The steward brother glanced at everyone with a smile on his face.
"My name is Zhang Donglai. I keep all your new disciples' things here. You will have to deal with me in the next three years. For example, I will allocate the dormitories you will live in in the future. The spiritual stones distributed by the sect every year are also
Distributed by me."
The clever disciple immediately asked, "I wonder how these dormitories are allocated? What's the difference?"
"How to allocate it, naturally, I have the final say."
Zhang Donglai chuckled, "You must have heard about it on the way here. Cultivation and spiritual energy are closely related. If you live in a good place and have sufficient spiritual energy, you can go further on the road of cultivation."
At this point, he paused for a moment and then said calmly, "As long as you are willing to pay me six spiritual stones, I will keep it and choose a good location for you."
Suddenly someone gasped, "Six spiritual stones? But we don't have even one!"
Someone who reacted quickly said immediately, "Have you forgotten? Although we don't have it now, the senior brother said before that our new disciples have a three-year protection period. During the protection period, they can receive twelve sect subsidies every year.
A spiritual stone."
Everyone realized that Manager Zhang had actually come up with this idea.
After being exposed, Zhang Donglai's face didn't look strange at all, he still had the same smile.
"That's right. I will give you the basic materials for new disciples and the spiritual stone subsidy for the first year of the sect in a moment. As long as you pay six spiritual stones, I will choose a good location with sufficient spiritual energy for you.
You know, you will stay in the dormitory for many years. I only charge six spiritual stones, which is a reasonable price. For you new disciples, six spiritual stones are enough for the first year.
And I won’t collect any more spiritual stones for the next two years, and I won’t lose any of them from you.”
With that said, Zhang Donglai distributed palm-sized storage bags to everyone.
"This thing is called a storage bag. It contains the materials and first-year subsidies given to you by the sect. This is the lowest storage bag that you can use even if you don't practice. You just need to put it close to your forehead.
The spirit stone was taken out."
Everyone tried it according to the method taught by Zhang Donglai, and sure enough they were able to take things out.
"This is the magic trick of an immortal. It's so powerful. I actually took something out of this little bag!"
"As long as we work hard in the future, we can also learn the skills of immortals!"
Xu Chunniang also followed Zhang Dong's instructions and put the storage bag close to her eyes, and soon saw the contents inside.
There is a piece of clothing, a few books, a map, a black sign, and twelve brilliant stones, etc...
"It's not bad to spend six spiritual stones to buy a good location."
Finally, someone was moved and took out six brilliant stones from the storage bag and handed them over.
Zhang Donglai took the spirit stone, took out the map, pointed to a middle location, "You go here." After saying that, he took out a large key from the storage bag, took a piece of it and gave it to him.
The man took a look at the map and saw that it was indeed a good location, and nodded with satisfaction.
With this person as a starting point, the others followed suit and paid the protection fee of six spiritual stones, hoping that this steward would assign them a good position.
But there are also some people who are not willing to pay these six spiritual stones. After all, they only give out twelve pieces a year, and half of them have been removed at once.
One person bit the bullet and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, can I not pay the spirit stone?"
The smile on Zhang Donglai's face instantly disappeared, revealing a shrewd and mean face.
"If you don't pay the spirit stones, hey, I can only assign you to the worst dormitory, and you can't get any benefits from me anymore. You must know that the protection period for new disciples is only three years. After three years, you
It is time to pay tribute to the sect.
I am responsible for allocating the tribute tasks for you new disciples. I will say something ugly up front, if you are unwilling to hand over the spirit stones, don’t blame me if you can’t complete the tribute tasks when the time comes!"
Zhang Donglai paused for a moment and glanced at the disciples, "Of course, if you have the ability, you can also entrust the main hall to accept the tasks yourself. However, the tasks entrusted to the main hall must be at least in the middle stage of Qi training to accept.
If you can break through to the third level of Qi training within three years, it’s fine. If you want to break through to the middle stage of Qi training, hum!”
The interviewer weighed the pros and cons. If he didn't pay these six spiritual stones, it would be a minor matter to be assigned to a poor dormitory. If he offended the steward, it would even affect his later development!
He hesitated for a moment, and finally counted six spiritual stones from the storage bag and paid.
Anyway, so many people have paid, and he is not the only one left.
When the rest of the people saw this, even though they were a little reluctant, they were all ready to hold their noses and pay the spirit stones, just like losing money and eliminating disasters.
Xu Chunniang held the newly distributed storage bag and frowned tightly.
When they were on the flying boat, Brother Dawu told her that there was something called a spirit stone, which was very important in the world of immortals and was equivalent to gold and silver in the secular world.
Spirit stones can not only be used as money in the world of immortals, but can also help with cultivation. In short, they have many benefits.
Although she didn't know how to use this spiritual stone, judging from the fact that the sect only gave out a total of thirty-six yuan to new disciples, it must be a very valuable thing.
When Xu Chunniang was eight years old, she had never even touched silver, let alone a spiritual stone that was much more valuable than silver.
She was struggling internally!
If she didn't pay the spirit stones, she would offend Manager Zhang, but she really couldn't bear to part with the six spirit stones. This was half a year's subsidy for a new disciple.
Manager Zhang's eyes fell on Xu Chunniang, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, "Hey, the others have paid the spirit stones, and you are the only one left. Please hand over the spirit stones quickly."
Unknowingly, everyone paid the spirit stone, including the young man in brocade named Qi Haozhi who was following the little girl in Chinese attire.
