After Feizhou arrived in Yunya Town, Caisi did not follow Yang Zhen into the mountains. Instead, she was temporarily placed in the Zhao family's shop in the town to work.
This was what Yang Zhen had agreed with her in advance. He didn't tell the little girl the specific reason, but asked her to wait for another two months and he would make arrangements.
He is waiting for Caiyun's physical training results, which should be announced in March.
In addition, in Zhoucheng, he has arranged for Tie Zhu to work for the Wang family, and plans to change Tie Zhu's identity as a servant of the Wang family after a period of time.
In Xu State, monks cannot easily fake their identities because of their blood essence and tokens. On the other hand, mortals are not so strict and the operation is relatively simple.
At this time, Yunya Town is undergoing a new disciple selection competition. However, there were no outstanding children in the Zhao family this year, not even one with three spiritual roots. Everyone stopped watching the excitement and returned to the academy.
As a second-year disciple, starting from this year, all free benefits will be cancelled, and students must work hard to contribute to the sect.
For example, the cave in the mountain requires a rent of thirty spiritual stones per year. If a disciple reaches 100 new contribution points within a year, this fee will be waived directly.
One hundred contribution points, this is the academy's annual standard for apprentices.
There are many similar regulations. All in all, it means the same thing. As a disciple, you have to find ways to obtain contribution points and serve the sect.
So on the second day after returning to Shuiwu Peak, Yang Zhen and Zhao Yue'er walked together and came to the task hall of the college's general affairs hall.
"Hidden Spider Mountain, collect black flame spider silk, one contribution point for every twelve taels..."
"Luoyun Canyon, collect Luoyun Stone Essence. Ten grams of Stone Essence can be exchanged for one contribution point..."
"Qianbi Lake Mine, at the bottom of the lake, produces blue crystal, jasper stone, cold water stone, emerald green sand and other materials. One contribution point will be awarded for every 100 kilograms. Because the mining is at the bottom of the lake, it is recommended that monks who understand water magic go there... "
"Yunlan Valley, pick Star Grass, Snow Grass and White Feather Flower, one contribution point for every two hundred plants..."
"..."
In the mission hall, on a piece of white jade about ten feet high, various missions flashed in different colors on the wall.
The ones in red have already been selected and cannot be selected again.
The yellow one is chosen by someone and can continue to be chosen.
The green ones are long-term tasks with no limit on the number of people.
The blue one has not yet been chosen by anyone.
These places that appear in the mission are all located in the Yunxiao Mountains. There is a large sand table next to the jade, marking these positions one by one.
Safety is basically not a concern, and it is impossible to leave it to these apprentices who do not have much ability to protect themselves further away.
Every mission point is guarded by sect disciples, and storage bags must be checked when entering or exiting, and no hiding is allowed.
Otherwise, if you have to harvest more than a dozen or even dozens of spiritual materials to exchange for one contribution point, a lot of people will choose to only have spiritual materials.
Yang Zhen looked carefully and found that the places that were close by had basically been selected, and there were still many places that were a little further away, and no one even cared about the places further away.
This is reasonable. After all, most of the disciples in the academy are not at the advanced stage of Qi training and cannot fly with swords. You need to climb mountains and wade through rivers along the way, so naturally the closer the better.
Even so, it would take four or five days to complete a mission and travel back and forth.
Of course, you can also form a team with senior brothers and sisters who are in the later stage of Qi training. But in that case, how much profit can you get?
Yang Zhen does not have these worries. He is already an outer disciple. He can reach all parts of the sect through the teleportation array and find the shortest path to these mission points.
So he chose several picking tasks for himself and Zhao Yue'er. Basically, they were long-term tasks, which could just bring out Yiyi's strengths.
In the days to come, he came to these places alone. At each picking point, most of half a year's work can be completed in one day.
If these picked spiritual plants were converted into contribution points, they would have almost two hundred contribution points.
He placed these spiritual plants in the bluestone space. Every time when the task is handed in at the end of the month, take out a part and divide it into two parts, one for yourself and one for Zhao Yue'er.
Divided into several times, it is unobtrusive and can complete the task well.
After leaving the mission hall, the two went to the general affairs hall next to it.
Here are some long-term general affairs, and you can also get contribution points.
For example, there are those who go to the alchemy workshop to take care of the alchemy furnaces, deal with waste elixirs, and patrol. There are also those who go to the beast control garden to raise spirit beasts, and there are also those who go to the weapon refining workshop to assist in forging weapons, and so on.
Yang Zhen chose two places, the Alchemy Workshop and the Weapon Refining Workshop.
Zhao Yue'er didn't make a choice. She spent those five days at Tianshui Peak and couldn't spare the time to do this.
After selecting these tasks and collecting the Linggu seeds, the two returned to Shuiwu Peak.
In the following days, they continued to practice hard.
One and a half months later, Yang Zhen's second phase of Qi training was completed, and the spiritual energy in her Dantian had reached 400 strands.
At the same time, Caiyun's body training has also reached the final stage.
…
The exercise was about to end, but there was still no movement in the spiritual root. Caiyun's mood was no longer as calm as before.
Of course, in front of Yang Zhen and Zhao Yue'er, she still looked optimistic, covering her mouth and chuckling at every turn. But privately, I was unbearably anxious and agitated.
On this day, Zhao Yue'er returned to Tianshui Peak, while Yang Zhen went to the weapon refinery to work as a blacksmith for an afternoon.
For refining, impurities in the materials need to be removed first. In this way, not only can it be better integrated with other materials, but the performance of the refined magic weapon will also be more stable and more powerful.
In addition to the common melting and evaporation, repeated forging is also a necessary step to remove impurities. This process is almost the same as that of a mortal blacksmith. The difference is that the monk's hammer is heavier and more physically demanding. It also requires mana to squeeze out the impurities.
This process can not only achieve the effect of physical training, but also practice the fine control of mana.
Therefore, even if it costs spirit stones, Yang Zhen is willing to do it, not to mention that not only does it cost no money, but there will also be contribution points as reward!
On the afternoons of every ten days, he would beat himself like this for an hour or two, until 80% of his mana was consumed and his whole body was dripping with sweat.
After finishing her busy day, Yang Zhen took the flying boat back to Shui Luan and jogged all the way back to the mountain. Even though he had accomplished some physical training, he was still panting from exhaustion.
"Caiyun must have boiled the hot water and is cooking dinner, right? It's a pretty good day to have people waiting for you!" he thought happily.
However, when he walked through the woods and saw Yuezhen Pavilion in the distance, he saw a girl in green standing outside the door, crying.
