At noon, Su Xing, wearing the yellow Taoist robe representing Yuyang Taoist Temple, was admiring the mountain scenery while riding a crane to Luyan Peak, the main peak of the outer gate of Wanjian Sect.
Luyan Peak, as the main peak of the Three Great Courts, is equipped with the sect's Wanjian Square, the Hundred Treasures Hall where you receive your monthly salary, the Law Enforcement Hall that accepts the sect's tasks, and various public facilities provided to the Three Great Courts.
The disciples of the Three Great Daosyuan only practice on the mountain peaks of their homes all year round and do not see each other. This mountain called Luyan provides a place for the disciples of the Taoist Academy to communicate and meet with each other.
After walking through a forest mountain road and climbing long stone steps several times, the exquisite attic called Baibaotang was immediately revealed in front of Su Xing.
The exquisite two-story pavilion. If you look closely, you can see that the rubble on the roof is made of smelted and shiny exquisite spirit stones. The four walls of the attic are made of thousand-year-old ancient wood from the Wanling Mountains.
At the entrance of the treasure hall, you can feel the extremely pure vitality rushing towards your face.
There were some disciples in front of the attic at this time. They were either exchanging the newly received magical elixirs with each other, or they were walking away talking and laughing.
When they saw the new face Su Xing, some had friendly eyes and smiles; others had no fluctuation in their eyes and expressionless faces.
Entering the attic, what caught Su Xing's eyes was Linliang's numerous magical medicine bottles, as well as gleaming spiritual stones and rare ores.
The jewels and treasures were all in his eyes. For Su Xing, who had never seen so many treasures before, it really shocked him.
Looking in the direction of the central counter, he saw that the counter was actually made of deep green jade, emitting a green light under the sunlight, which made Su Xing feel dazzled for a moment.
Young Master Su from the second-class city of Casterly Rock never expected that even the counter in the attic where the treasures were stored was made of jade worth thousands of gold.
Behind the green and thick counter, a chubby man stood.
The man wore a round hat on his head, and a long whip fell from his left shoulder to his chest. He had medium-sized eyes and a black mole at the corner of his mouth. When he smiled, he looked like a living Buddha.
Seemingly noticing a new face walking into the attic, the round-faced man smiled at Su Xing who was walking towards him.
"But a new disciple?"
The bloated man was panting heavily when he spoke, and Su Xing was afraid that he would lose his breath in the next second.
Seeing that this man looked kind, Su Xing took out his own wooden sign from his pocket and placed it on the counter.
"Xiaosheng is the new disciple who joined the sect yesterday." His tone was very respectful.
"I am Zhang Zhi, the registered disciple of the deacon of Baibao Hall. There have been many newcomers before you."
Registered disciples, to put it bluntly, are people who do odd jobs for Baibao Hall. I learned from Zhou Qinghan before that if a sect disciple who has failed the college examination three times decides to find a job in the sect, he will always start from the bottom.
The fat man picked up the wooden sign and put it in front of him. After seeing the name and number on the sign, he turned his eyes and looked at Su Xing.
This inspection made Su Xing, who had a keen sense of consciousness, notice something strange.
Although his expression did not change, he began to wonder about the fat man's behavior.
After thinking about it, Su Xing only had deep doubts in his heart.
I had just joined the sect and didn’t even know many people. Why did I attract this person’s attention?
Could it be said that he treats every new disciple like this?
Su Xing secretly rejected this idea. Zhang Zhi noticed him when he just entered the door, but he only looked at it carefully after seeing his wooden sign.
This means that he should have reacted to his name. However, it was his first time to come to this Hundred Treasures Hall, how did he know his name?
At this time, an idea suddenly appeared.
Lynch!
If he said he had offended anyone in the sect these past two days, it must be Senior Brother Lin Qi, who had a great reputation in Yuyang Taoist Temple.
I had offended him before, and according to Senior Sister Zhou's description of his character, he was exactly the kind of person who was determined to retaliate.
As a new disciple, I will definitely come to Baibao Hall to receive my salary today. And Lin Qi must have grasped this and warned Zhang Zhi in advance.
So……
The hazy mystery gradually became clear in Su Xing's mind, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
Zhang Zhi, who was originally smiling, suddenly calmed down after seeing the wooden sign. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Junior Brother Su, according to the sect's rules, new Qi Gathering Realm disciples can receive a Qingxin Grass, ten Yuan Gathering Pills and a thousand gold coins."
He suddenly looked away, and when he changed his words, his tone suddenly dropped, and he smacked his lips and said: "Unfortunately, the resources of the outer pharmacy are scarce recently. The Juyuan Pills produced in recent days and the Qingxin Herbs collected are not enough. And today in the
Several Qi Gathering disciples have come before you and have taken all the elixirs and medicinal herbs."
"You see, if this is not the case, we have no shortage of gold coins here, so we will give them to you first. But these herbs and elixirs... I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."
Having said this, Zhang Zhi stretched out his big fleshy hand and patted Su Xing's shoulder, and said in an elder's tone with sincerity: "Don't go to the Taoist temple to find the teacher, because even if they come to the pharmacy, they can't rush it."
Come out. Don’t worry, as soon as the things arrive, I will personally go to your house to give them to you."
Sure enough! Su Xing guessed what kind of tricks Zhang Zhi would play before he opened his mouth.
Although Lin Qi is quite famous, he is not a man of power in the outer sect. The only means he can use are to make things difficult for his own salary.
But... Qingxincao and Juyuan Pill are two things that are extremely helpful for me to break through the Qi Gathering Realm. The longer I delay, the more detrimental it will be to my practice.
Su Xing frowned and turned slightly. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, a figure in the distance outside the door suddenly fell into his eyes.
A familiar face told Su Xing that that person was the new disciple who started with him.
At that moment, an idea came to my mind, and the method suddenly appeared in my mind.
He immediately turned around, said a few more polite words to Zhang Zhi in a very regretful tone, with a sad look on his face, and quickly turned and left with a card containing gold coins.
Seeing Su Xing striding away from the attic, the corners of Zhang Zhi's mouth raised slightly.
This morning, Lin Qi's follower Mu Fan came to Baibaotang and entrusted him with the task of Nan Suxing, and gave him another five hundred gold coins.
This was equivalent to half a month's salary! Zhang Zhi naturally had no reason to refuse.
Thinking that he could not only go to Lin Qi to collect gold coins at night, but also leave a good impression in the mind of this important figure in Yuyang Taoist Temple, he felt a hint of joy in his heart.
At the same time, the eyes looking at Su Xing immediately became a little disdainful.
Qingxincao and Juyuan Dan? There are hundreds or even thousands of these things in their Baibao Hall. When has there been a shortage in the past decades?
However, given the opportunity to please Lin Qi, what can a new disciple have to defend?
Another new face walked into the attic. Zhang Zhi immediately restrained his complacent look and continued to prepare to welcome this new disciple with a smile on his face.
After Zhang Zhi and the new disciple introduced each other, they spoke very familiar lines:
"According to the sect's rules, if you are in the Qi Gathering realm, you can receive a Pure Heart Grass, ten Yuan Gathering Pills, and one thousand gold coins. Just wait a moment."
The fat Zhang Zhi turned around and looked into the cabinet. His fat body hit the narrow counter and made the cabinet tremble.
The salary of Qi Gathering Realm disciples is not a rare material, and it is naturally easy to find.
He effortlessly took out the disciple's salary from the wooden shelf: the fresh grass in the medicine bag, the Juyuan Pill in the medicine bottle and the card to store the gold coins.
However, just when Zhang Zhi turned around with great effort and prepared to put the three items in the disciple's hand with a smile on his face, a fast and powerful arm suddenly came out from behind the disciple and snatched him away.
Medicine bags and bottles.
"this!!"
Zhang Zhi and the disciple were shocked, thinking that anyone would dare to steal things in Baibao Hall now!?
I am really not afraid of being kicked out of the school!
The two of them looked intently and saw the owner of the arm slowly walking out from behind the new disciple, revealing his face.
When he saw that face, Zhang Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and his expression became extremely ugly and cold.
He secretly thought something was wrong, and secretly clasped his fleshy hands under the counter.
Just because the person who walked out was Su Xing who originally strode away!
