Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and twenty days pass quietly.
Ji Liao does the same thing almost every day. He meditates at sunrise and rests at sunset. He is like an ascetic as some people call him.
Because he took the Bigu Pill, he didn't feel hungry during this period, but every time he vomited, some thick black substances would leak out of his body. He had no choice but to go to the nearby stream every day. He went to take a shower, but it also gave him a little understanding of the place where he lived.
He was a little puzzled. There were dense jungles and clean water near the house. It should have been the best habitat for birds and beasts, but he found that there was not a single bird or beast nearby. Occasionally, a bird would fly over. It will fly away in another direction here.
Ji Liao didn't know why, but luckily he didn't care about it anymore, so as not to let wild beasts disturb his practice.
At this time, Ji Liao was sitting cross-legged on the futon, with the pores on his skin opening and closing, his eyes slightly closed, and a white mist coming out of his mouth and nose every time he breathed.
In the spiritual sea in his body, spiritual energy lingered, polishing his blood again and again, constantly impacting the spiritual sea barrier.
"Nowadays, the barrier of the spiritual sea is much tougher than before. It is several times more difficult to expand it than before. This path of cultivation is getting more and more difficult as it goes on."
Ji Liao looked at the movement of the spiritual sea in his body and couldn't help but smile bitterly and murmured in his mouth.
At this moment, Ji Liao's brows moved, he opened his mouth slightly, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He patted the storage bag on his waist, and a black light shot out. One circled and landed in his palm. The light faded away, revealing a palm-sized token, which was his identity token.
He placed the identity token between his eyebrows, sunk his consciousness into it, raised his brows again, and put away the token after a moment.
He stood up and looked out the window.
"According to the time, it's time to do the sect's mission."
Just now when he was practicing, he sensed a sudden fluctuation in the identity token, and his consciousness sank into it. A message urging him to do the sect's tasks immediately came from the token.
Ji Liao thought for a moment, then fluttered his sleeves and walked out.
Compared with many deacon halls in Yanshui Peak, Pepsi Pavilion is definitely an exception. Usually there are people coming and going here, and there are many disciples taking over tasks.
At this time, the main hall of Pepsi Pavilion was crowded with people. Most of them were wearing the clothes of the outer disciples of the Purple Air Sect. Among them were men and women, old and young, of all ages. Some of them were alone, and some were in groups. Pointing at the tasks on the stone tablet.
There are four stone tablets standing in the hall, dividing the hall into four areas. The stone tablets come in four colors, namely white, blue, yellow, and black. Among them, the white stone tablets have the most people gathered under them, and the speed of receiving tasks is also the fastest.
There are many people under the blue stone monument, but compared to the white stone monument, there are many fewer people.
Not far away, there were only a dozen or so people talking together under the yellow stone monument, and among these dozen or so people, there were two people who were dressed as disciples of the inner sect of the Purple Air Sect.
There was no one under the black stone tablet, and there were only two or three tasks on it.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin body and sinister features, was under the white stone tablet. From time to time, he took the initiative to pull the people around him and pointed to a task on the white stone tablet to introduce it.
"Hey, junior brother, what kind of mission do you want to take on?" The middle-aged man was holding the sleeve of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy and said.
When the young man saw this person's appearance, he immediately bowed his hands politely and said, "I would like to take on some simpler tasks. After completing them, I will go into seclusion to practice."
When the middle-aged man saw him saying this, his eyes lit up, and he rolled his eyes quickly and laughed and said, "Hahaha, junior brother is really hardworking. In this case, senior brother will help you find out which tasks are easier."
The young man's face was filled with joy, and he immediately laughed and said, "Thank you very much, senior brother."
The middle-aged man pretended to glance at the white stone tablet, touched his chin and groaned, pointing to a task on the stone tablet, and said, "Hey, I saw that most of these tasks take three or four days to complete. Now, This is the only task that’s relatively simple.”
The young man looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a mission written on the stone tablet. It looked simple, but when he took a closer look, his eyes turned cold and he pushed the middle-aged man.
"Old guy, I want to trick your grandpa!"
The middle-aged man's smile froze, and his face looked ugly at that time.
The young man didn't care about the middle-aged man's expression, flicked his robe sleeves and turned around to leave.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man's back, sighed secretly, and looked around again.
Not long after, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up again.
However, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walking towards the door of the Pepsi Pavilion. This boy was average-looking and thin. He was wearing the clothes of an outer disciple and looked simple and honest.
After he entered the door, his eyes began to look around.
Seeing this young man like this, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. He immediately understood that this young man had come to Ziqi Sect not long ago, and now he looked like he was coming to Pepsi Pavilion for the first time. He couldn't miss this kind of person.
The mouse's eyes narrowed into slits, and a smile instantly appeared on his face. He hurriedly walked over and said with a smile, "This junior brother looks very accepting."
Ji Liao was slightly startled. He took a look at the middle-aged man and found that he didn't know him, but he was also dressed as an outer disciple to serve him. He also cupped his hands to the middle-aged man and said, "Ji Liao, I just came to the Purple Air Sect not long ago." , it’s only been over a month now.”
When the middle-aged man heard what Ji Liao said, he smiled even more happily and said, "I'm Wu Liang."
"Oh, Senior Brother Wu." Ji Liao nodded to him.
"Since Junior Brother Ji has not long since joined the mountain gate, it must be the first time he comes to Pepsi Pavilion to accept a mission?" Wu Liang looked at Ji Liao's harmless look on his face, and was secretly happy, thinking, "Hey, this time I'm going to It seems that the task of sending letters home is almost over."
"Yes, this is indeed my first time to take on a mission." Ji Liao replied noncommittally.
"To tell you the truth, senior brother, I have been in the profession for more than 20 years, and I have been here since you were here. I sincerely tell you that you are not suitable to take on tasks that are too difficult now. Not only will there be no danger, but there will be no delay. Junior brother training." Wu Liang said one senior brother at a time, as if the two were close friends, not like they had just met.
Ji Liao's eyes flickered a few times, and he thought for a while and said, "I have this intention, and I am looking for a simple and non-dangerous task."
"That's great!" the middle-aged man said immediately, and then added, "If you can trust me, I will help you find one. After all, it is our duty as brothers to take care of the new fellow disciples."
Ji Liao nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, senior brother."
"No trouble, no trouble." The middle-aged man was overjoyed, and he was sure of Ji Liao's decision.
The middle-aged man led Ji Liao towards the stone monument.
When he came to the stone stele, Ji Liao looked up and saw that the stele was more than two feet high. It was made of white jade, with a faint halo shining around it. The surface was smooth and flat. There were more than twenty words on it, all of which were. The various tasks are introduced, and the task rewards are displayed at the end of the introduction.
Ji Liao took a closer look. Some of these tasks were to help get rid of wild beasts near the residence, some were to find lost pets, and some were to cultivate the garden in the residence, etc. Most of them were laborious but simple tasks.
From time to time, a disciple came forward, holding an identity token, and when he waved it at the mission on the stone tablet, the mission turned into a spiritual light and disappeared into the token.
After that mission disappeared, new missions were quickly added.
Wu Liang thought for a while, pointed to a task and said, "Junior brother, you see these tasks are not suitable for you. Get rid of the wild beasts near your residence. Since they can't get rid of them, it will be even harder for a new disciple like you."
Ji Liao nodded noncommittally, said nothing, and quietly waited for Wu Liang's next words.
Wu Liang then gave Ji Liao several tasks, mostly using various reasons to tell Ji Liao that he was not suitable for him.
Finally, Wu Liang pointed to a mission under the stone tablet and said, "Hey, junior brother, look at this mission. Go to Tianyuan City to deliver a letter. This mission is simple and not dangerous. Look..."
Ji Liao glanced at the mission introduction, thought about it and immediately understood what Wu Liang was trying to do. Lu Zhu had specifically told him before about this kind of mission, that this kind of mission that only stated the location but not the distance was a trap.
Ji Liao's expression changed immediately, he glanced at Wu Liang coldly, and thought to himself, "You want to trick me?"
At the same time, he was also glad that if Lu Zhu had not notified him in advance, he would have actually taken on this kind of task without knowing it. After all, it was simple and not dangerous, but now that he knew it, of course he couldn't be fooled.
Wu Liang's expression changed. When he saw Ji Liao's appearance, he secretly exclaimed, "Did an elder of the family bring this boy into the mountain gate? Have you been informed of this kind of mission in advance?"
Ji Liao immediately wanted to ignore him, and at this moment, another voice came into Ji Liao's ears.
"Junior sister, look at this mission. It's simple and not dangerous. It's best to accept this mission!"
But it was a man in his thirties, pulling a girl in her twenties, pointing at the mission of the white stone tablet and saying.
The girl's expression changed when she saw the mission on the stone tablet, "You bastard wants to trick me, believe it or not, I'll pay you for it."
After saying that, he waved his hand and slapped the big man in the face.
"If you don't answer, I won't answer, and you'll beat me!" The big man muttered, covering his face.
"Hmph!" When the woman saw that the big man didn't say anything nonsense, she immediately ignored him.
When Ji Liao saw this big man, he glanced at the task he pointed at, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised unnoticeably. Then he put on a simple and honest expression and said loudly to Wu Liang, "Senior Brother Wu , you think this mission is not bad."
