Dangdangdang...

Lu Li, who was still practicing, was suddenly awakened by a harsh sound.

Up to now, he has been practicing in the Time Palace for more than fifty days, which is equivalent to four or five days in the outside world. What is gratifying is that he finally broke through the metallic barrier of the second acupoint and finally saw it. A glimmer of hope.

When he stood up and took a look, it turned out that it was already getting dark outside. Lu Li knew that he was about to start taking the mission.

The tasks of handyman disciples do not require going out like the formal disciples, and there is no danger. The work they do is almost all work that assists the formal disciples in their cultivation, such as chopping wood, carrying water, cooking, cleaning, weeding in the medicinal garden, etc. Category.

Lu Li stood up and tidied up, and found that he didn't feel tired at all after staying up all night. After much deliberation, he could only attribute it to the fact that the main body was sleeping, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

In this way, he can stay up all night without any scruples every night.

After leaving the room, Qin Shouren and Chen Zhong just came out. The three of them exchanged a few words and walked towards the small square of the handyman hall. Like them, the handyman disciples from various courtyards came out one after another.

Arriving at the small square, Lu Li found that yesterday, Deacon Wenhong was standing on the steps directly north of the square with one hand behind his back, looking coldly at everyone, and couldn't help but lower his head.

Next to Wen Hong stood a thin, groveling young man in a light blue gown.

When someone saw the young man, they couldn't hide the look of disgust in their eyes, and whispered, "What a bastard." Lu Li looked at the man in surprise and said nothing.

Qin Shouren walked up to the man with curiosity on his face and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

The man was startled when he heard this, and quickly made a gesture of silence. Then he stared at Qin Shouren and frowned, "You kid, why do you look so wretched? Stay away from me."

"You!" Qin Shouren was very angry and thought to himself, "You are good-looking." He rolled his eyes at the man and retreated to Lu Li's side.

After a while, everyone had arrived. Deacon Wen Hong glanced at everyone and then said, "Today is the first day of August. According to the rules, tasks will be reassigned today. Once you receive the task, you are not allowed to change it within a month until next day." Until the first day of the month.”

"Everyone, line up and step forward!"

After that, he said to the 'dog leg' next to him, "You are responsible for the registration."

The 'bastard' quickly saluted with a smile and said yes, then sat down at the registration desk and shouted with all his might, "Everyone line up for me and come forward one by one."

Seeing everyone lined up, Wen Hong yawned and seemed to have not slept well. After giving a few instructions, he turned around and entered the lobby.

Seeing Wen Hong leaving, seven or eight people immediately walked out of the team and rushed to the front of the team.

"Brother Zian, I want to go on a fishing mission, fishing..." one person said impatiently.

"Boss Sun, I also want to fish."

"..."

"Don't be anxious." The 'bastard' responded with a smile, while intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the aggrieved people in line behind him, "Since you choose to follow my grandson, I will not treat you badly... ....”

When Lu Li heard this, he immediately understood that this person was secretly forming a clique and giving all the easy jobs to his own people.

"Ni Monkey, how about... let's hang out with him too?" Qin Shouren also understood the meaning.

The tall man standing in front of Qin Shouren looked back at Qin Shouren and said meaningfully: "Junior brother, if you come to Qingyang Sect to hang out, that's it. If you want to go further, I suggest you not to go."

Qin Shouren was stunned and asked quickly: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

The man smiled and said, "Junior brother, I don't know. Although Sun Tzu An's favoritism job is good, 70% of your contribution will be deducted. In other words, your contribution is only 30%. In fact, The contribution you get is far less than the hard work..."

"Of course, if you are afraid of hard work, then forget it."

So that's it.

After listening to this, Lu Li and the other two people all understood.

Sun Tzu An's "people" quickly completed the tasks, and the team kept moving forward. Soon it was the turn of Lu Li and the others. At this time, most of the tasks had been picked, and the rest were basically hard work.

Seeing that Lu Li and the others were newcomers, Sunzi An rolled his eyes and began to induce them, saying that he could help them arrange easy work. Lu Li and the others already understood what was going on. They were not here for leisure, so He politely refused.

Sun Tzu An's face suddenly became very ugly when he heard this, but he didn't want to get angry on the spot. He sorted it out and threw out three tasks for three people to choose from. Although the contribution of these three tasks was high enough, veteran handymen would basically not touch them.

Qin Shouren picked and chose the task of cleaning the Zongmen Square.

Lu Li looked at the only two tasks left, hesitated for a moment, and chose the water-carrying task. Although it was a bit harder, the contribution was not low, with a total of three hundred points a month.

Finally, there was Chen Zhong. When it was his turn, he had no choice but to take a job chopping wood. They grew up in the mountains and thought that these jobs were not difficult for them.

After receiving the task, the three of them chatted for a few words and then went to work.

Lu Li found a pair of buckets in the utility building, carried them on his shoulders, and walked toward the east of the Handler Valley.

According to the requirements, he needs to fetch water from the Bishui River one mile east of the Zaoyu Valley, and then send it to the pool at the top of Cuiyun Peak in the west.

Lu Li was now at the first level of Qi training, and his movements were much lighter than before. After a while, he saw a ten-foot-wide river in front of him. The water was very clear, and he must be the Bishui River.

The task of carrying water does not stipulate how much to carry every day, but it must be ensured that five of the ten pools at Cuiyun Peak are full, because the pool at Cuiyun Peak is for the use of the entire handyman hall, and daily life depends on it.

As for the water supply in other places of the Qingyun Sect, there is no need for anyone to pick it up, because the Qingyang Sect has already set up a water supply system when it was built. The only thing that does not have a water supply system is the handyman valley, which is used to train the handyman disciples.

This bucket is not a normal bucket. It is more than ten times larger than a normal bucket. If the two buckets are full, they may weigh no less than 500 kilograms.

Lu Li tried it, but found that it was a bit difficult to pretend to be only one-third of the way. He didn't dare to pretend anymore, so he hurried back with a long pole, stopping and walking for a full quarter of an hour before he arrived. The foot of Cuiyun Peak in the west.

Looking at the extremely steep road up the mountain, Lu Li wiped the sweat off his face and murmured a few words before rushing up.

Halfway through the journey, I suddenly heard the sound of chopping from the jungle on the roadside. A strong young man was swinging an ax vigorously. He tried his best with every axe, but he could only cut off the dark tree trunk. A little skin.

Lu Li walked over and asked doubtfully, "Fat man, is your ax unsharpened?"

When Chen Zhong saw it was Lu Li, he turned around and handed the ax to Lu Li with a depressed expression, "You try it."

Lu Li took the ax and looked at it, then touched it lightly with his thumb. With just one touch, he almost cut his finger. He couldn't help but said with shock on his face, "This ax is so sharp?"

"Yes, this ax is already very sharp, but this ghost tree is actually harder than iron. At first, I thought it would be easy to cut down three trees in one day." Chen Zhong scratched his head, his face full of depression.

"Haha, take your time, don't be in a hurry." Lu Li patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder, shook his head and went back to carry the load up the mountain.
