Chapter 281 Senior brother, I am not afraid of hardship
"When another batch of water fireflies matures, we will be able to steadily enter the middle stage of foundation building."
After Lu Xuan digested the increased cultivation of more than twenty years, he felt the spiritual fluid filling his Dantian, and had an intuition that he was about to touch a new realm.
From the time he noticed that the cultivation rewards brought by the Firefly Grass were drastically reduced, and began to improve its varieties, until he obtained the second-grade Water Firefly Grass, Lu Xuan had received cultivation rewards for no less than forty years.
But because his bones are too ordinary, he is still a hair away from breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building.
With his talent, he is definitely among the bottom among the Tianjian Sect.
For those talented geniuses in the sect, it usually takes ten or twenty years to break through from the early stage to the middle stage of foundation building. Those with true inheritance level talents are more likely to be able to break through in less than ten years.
If Lu Xuan devoted himself to cultivation, he might not be able to achieve a breakthrough in fifty years.
Fortunately, the existence of the light group has greatly shortened the talent gap between them, and there is even a tendency to strike from behind.
It has only been three or four years since he started planting water fireweeds, and the new batch has only reached the middle stage of foundation building.
"Farming makes people progress. I love farming."
Seeing Lu Xuan's reluctance, the middle-aged monk explained.
"The second location is located in Xuanyin City, where many large forces are located. The sect has only a moderate say in the city and needs to arrive within one month."
Lu Xuan asked tentatively.
"I'm here this time to give you a task, junior brother. Junior brother has been promoted to an inner disciple for several years, and it's time to complete the sect's garrison duty."
The middle-aged monk nodded.
"Here I am."
Lu Xuan's heart tightened and he said respectfully.
Lu Xuan asked with a frown. He was not very satisfied with the two garrison locations. One was close to the Luomeng Mountains and the other was not far from the Jiyin Sect. It sounded like both of them were quite risky.
"I am a casual cultivator. I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness. I asked my senior brother to grant me permission to go to the island to practice for a few years."
Since he couldn't refuse, Lu Xuan could only accept it. Fortunately, the number of sword seals subsidized did not disappoint him.
"Due to the higher risk, more sword seals will be subsidized. There are 360 sword seals every year."
"Specialty marine fish and sea beasts, rare spiritual herbs, and the possibility of discovering spiritual liquid?"
"Junior Brother Lu, just call me Senior Brother Huang."
"If junior brother doesn't want to go, it may cause senior brothers from the Discipline Hall to come over and solve the problem, and he may be punished for it."
Lu Xuan hurried to the foot of the mountain, opened the streamer array, and saw a middle-aged monk with a Chinese character face and a serious expression standing straight in front of the array.
"Three hundred sword seals every year? That means you can get at least three fourth-grade spiritual seeds."
Lu Xuan smiled broadly as he looked at the spiritual plants all over the mountains and plains.
Lu Xuan said to the middle-aged monk with a sincere face.
"Ten years of confinement?"
Lu Xuan shook his head. If it were really closed for ten years, most of the spiritual plants on the mountain would have withered their mature flowers and fruits.
"Yes, this is the obligation that every foundation-building disciple should fulfill."
Lu Xuan returned to the house with a full array of light group rewards.
"Xuanyin City is more than a thousand miles away from Jiyin Sect. It is easy to encounter evil cultivators. It is the first choice place for those fellow sects who want to hone their fighting abilities."
"Disobeying the sect's instructions is usually punished by being confined for ten years and not allowed to go out for activities for ten years. After the end of the period, you will still be forced to complete the task."
Lu Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he rarely went out and didn't communicate much with his fellow disciples, he also knew the reputation of the Discipline Hall. Once they came over, he would at least shed his skin.
"Senior Brother Huang, then I will choose the island near the boundless sea."
"Please also ask senior brother to introduce me to the details of the location where I can be stationed."
"Junior Brother Lu Xuan, are you there?"
"During the period of being stationed, there will be at least three hundred sword seals as a subsidy every year, and the places where they are stationed are generally small families and casual cultivators. There is almost no risk. It is rare to hear that a fellow disciple has lost his life due to this."
"The last one is located near the boundless sea, a large island that produces some special spiritual products, sea fish and sea beasts, as well as some rare spiritual herbs, etc."
"It is said that rare spiritual fluids can occasionally be found on the surrounding islands."
"Junior Brother Lu, are you sure?"
He did not use the green wood source energy to ripen the remaining thirty or so water fireweeds, but allowed them to grow naturally, and then used them to condense spiritual seeds when they were mature.
He still retains a trace of luck in his heart. If he is only punished with spirit stones or sword seals, it is not unacceptable and he can spend money to eliminate disasters.
"But there are not many opportunities there, and the purpose of tempering oneself cannot be achieved. In addition, it is located in a bitter cold place, so it is usually semi-mandatory to entrust an inner disciple to go there. The number of sword seals subsidized per year is 320.
."
"What are the typical punishments?"
"The first place needs to be reached within three months. It is a city of casual cultivators that produces several kinds of rare ores. It is less than a thousand miles away from the Luomeng Mountains. It can subsidize 300 sword seals every year."
"There are currently three places for you to choose from, Junior Brother Lu."
His spiritual consciousness scanned slightly and he realized that the middle-aged monk's cultivation level was no less than the middle stage of foundation building, and his expression suddenly became more solemn.
"Where's the last one?"
"Although it has the smallest number of sword seals, it is more popular because it is located near the Luomen Mountain Range and there are many secret realms around it, where monsters and beasts often appear. There are other inner disciples vying for this opportunity."
The middle-aged monk asked with some confusion. There were really too few inner disciples who usually chose that island, and all of them wanted to stay away from the bitter cold island. Lu Xuan's behavior made him a little uncomfortable.
"The sect's garrison mission? Senior brother, please inform me in detail."
"Junior Brother Lu, there is no need to be so resistant. The sect will not let you waste several years of your efforts."
"I wonder what I should call you, senior brother? What do you have to do with Mr. Lu?"
"The most important thing is that there are no secret realms and there are no monks from the Sinister Sect, which means the security is more reliable."
"Junior Brother Lu, this is not feasible. The garrison task is usually given to the inner disciples who have been in the sect for a few years. After all, the early stage of foundation building is completely sufficient. It would be a waste to use the same disciples in the middle stage of foundation building."
The middle-aged monk's words made his heart feel cold.
It is safe, reliable and risk-free. You can also see various sea beast spiritual grasses, and it is possible to find the spiritual liquid that can cultivate dragon bones grass. Where can you find such a good job?
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Senior Brother Huang, can I not choose this sect garrison mission? Or extend it for dozens or hundreds of years."
"Thirty-five water fireflies should be able to obtain at least 150 spiritual seeds, which is enough. If there are more, the spiritual power will not be able to support the needs of the spiritual plants."
"The sect has many stations throughout the practice world, which are used to collect resources, guard dangerous areas, protect casual cultivators, etc. Most of them need to be stationed by foundation-building monks to suppress some young people to prevent the sect's interests from being damaged.
"
After resting for half a day, a deep voice came from outside the talisman array.
"good."
Everyone wants to look for opportunities to slay demons and protect the way, but no one takes the initiative to move closer to the Bitter Cold Island.
