Chen Mo was always wary of the strange monks who rashly struck up a conversation. He took a few steps back without leaving a trace before saying, "That's right. I wonder if senior brother has any advice?"
"Haha, senior brother, I always like to help others," the sturdy man said with a smile: "How about this, you and I will take on a simple sect task first, and I will help you familiarize yourself with the process. What do you think, junior brother?" "
Chen Mo pretended to be hesitant, but in fact, he was guessing the big man's true intention.
First of all, he ruled out that Feng Yulin and others deceived him out of revenge. These few people were not so stupid. They didn't even complete the sect's mission and dared to kill him outside, unless they didn't want to live anymore.
Could it be that he really wanted to help himself become familiar with the environment as he said? Chen Mo frowned. He had been on high alert for a long time and had become numb to the goodwill of the outside world. When he received help, the first thing he considered was whether there was a conspiracy.
Just when Chen Mo was anxious, many disciples from the sect walked in from outside the hall. Among them was a round-faced woman in a red skirt. After seeing the sturdy man, she actually walked towards this side with an excited expression!
On the contrary, the burly man's pupils shrank sharply, and he secretly thought something bad, and said to Chen Mo quickly: "Hurry, time is running out for me, so please agree as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, he took out his identity token. As long as Chen Mo agreed, their tokens would temporarily emit yellow light, which also marked their cooperative relationship.
Seeing that he was so anxious, Chen Mo couldn't comply with his wishes. He didn't refuse explicitly, but pretended to think for a while before taking out the token from his storage bag.
"Stop!" A woman's yell suddenly came, and the next moment, a fiery red figure flashed past. The inner gate token in Chen Mo's hand was firmly grasped by her, and she stood beside Chen Mo.
"Wang Meili, how dare you!!"
The sturdy man said angrily, "It was just a little bit close. What a pity!" It's all the fault of this bitch in front of me!
The two scolding voices spread throughout the mission hall. Everyone was communicating in a low voice, but now they couldn't help but look back at the source of the voice.
As soon as they saw the two of them, and the inner disciple who seemed to know nothing about it, everyone understood what was going on, shook their heads, and no one cared about it anymore.
"Quiet!" In the northwest corner of the hall, a middle-aged monk with a flat nose suddenly shouted loudly. But that was all, he didn't come over to punish the two of them.
Being a little closer, Chen Mo could still smell the faint fragrance on the woman's clothes. He frowned and asked first, "Why did senior sister take my token?"
Both the burly man and the round-faced woman in front of him are at the twelfth level of Qi Refining and are qualified to be called such by Chen Mo.
"Junior brother, you are new here and you don't know yet. Don't believe this liar easily. He just wants to defraud you of your contribution points!" The round-faced woman chuckled and explained briefly to Chen Mo, which seemed to be able to hinder the sturdy man from talking to her. It's a huge blessing.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The sturdy man said angrily: "Junior brother, don't listen to her deceiving people here, stay away from her!"
"Hmph! If you fail to deceive the newcomer, are you going to start framing the newcomer?" The round-faced woman sneered: "Junior brother, to be honest, there is a rule in the sect's mission hall. You must complete the assigned task together with the newcomer who takes the mission for the first time. Both of them can get an additional five points of sect contribution, and the senior brother Zhang in front of you has this intention in mind to abduct you!"
After his background was revealed, the sturdy man was furious: "Wang Meili! You have a villain's heart and judge the heart of a gentleman. Am I, Zhang Meng, someone who is just coveting the contribution of my junior brother? I originally thought of telling him when I took over the task, but now It’s all messed up by you!”
That being said, no one knows whether he will give it or not by then.
"Haha, you know best what you think in your heart!" As the round-faced woman spoke, she solemnly returned the token to Chen Mo, and when she withdrew it, she lightly scratched his hand, causing the latter to My heart skipped a beat.
"That's it. A new junior brother who is taking on a sect mission for the first time must find a good companion, but he must not find a scum monk like Senior Brother Zhang!" The round-faced woman smiled sweetly and pointed out some words to Biao. A sentence that looks like a big man.
"Wang Meili, stop playing the trick of 'retreating to advance'. Who among the new junior brothers can't see your thoughts? Junior brother, listen to me, even if you have been misunderstanding senior brother, you must not follow me." Cooperate with this evil nun!"
The two of them bickered for a long time over the five points of sect contribution, which made Chen Mo feel very upset.
It's no wonder. Not only is it hard work to hunt down a bunch of monsters, it also takes a long time to get five points of contribution. If you can get this number just by talking, how can they not fight?
If he had to choose between two people, Chen Mo would rather choose the round-faced woman. This sturdy man named Zhang Meng deceived him first. If he traveled with him, something might happen on the way.
"Don't argue, I'll choose Senior Sister Wang."
Chen Mo made the final decision, causing Zhang Meng's expression to change. He glanced angrily at the proud Wang Meili: "Wait for me!" After that, he turned around and left the mission hall, not knowing where he went.
Fortunately, Zhang Meng still had some logic and didn't blame Chen Mo for his decision, otherwise Chen Mo would have provoked a monk at the twelfth level of Qi Refining for no reason.
Wang Meili said with a smile: "Junior brother, your choice is so wise! I wonder what you are good at. Do you want to take on tasks that are short in time and have small rewards, or do you want to contribute to tasks with generous contributions?"
"I'm good at fighting, so let's take on similar tasks." Chen Mo thought for a while and said.
"Oh? I didn't expect that my junior brother, with his humble appearance, would be so confident in his own strength. I don't know when he will have time to compete with his senior sister." The two chose their missions and walked toward the northwest corner, chatting and getting close.
Chen Mo naturally responded cautiously. No matter how much the round-faced woman tried, Chen Mo would not answer her question, which made her extremely angry.
Wang Meili put Chen Mo and her token on the table, which had the commission of hunting the demon tree printed on the screen: "Manager Zheng, let's take this task."
This was Chen Mo's decision after careful consideration. With their two cultivation levels, it would take up to two days to complete this task, including the time spent traveling back and forth.
The middle-aged monk with a flat nose hummed and took Wang Meili's token without saying anything. But when he saw Chen Mo, it was different. His hand registering the jade slip inside suddenly stopped and he looked at him: "You Is it Chen Mo?"
"Yes, what's wrong, Manager Zheng?"
Although he had expected it, Chen Mo still pretended to be confused.
Wang Meili also suddenly realized: "Junior Brother Chen? Are you the Chen Mo who was reported by Feng... Hall Master Cao a few days ago?"
She almost said that Chen Mo was beaten by an inner disciple, but then she thought something was wrong and quickly changed her story.
Chen Mo nodded and said: "If there is no second person named Chen Mo in the sect, it would be me."
The middle-aged monk with a flat nose suddenly returned the token to the two of them, and said regretfully: "What a coincidence, this mission has just been taken over. You must be looking for another one."
Wang Meili said in surprise: "Is something wrong? We just..."
After saying only a few words, she suddenly realized something, pulled Chen Mo aside who was still dazed, and whispered: "Junior brother Chen, have you provoked someone again?"
"Why did Senior Sister Wang say this?" Chen Mo was surprised.
"Deacon Zheng has always been kind and never made things difficult for his fellow disciples. However, he seems to have changed since he heard your name. What do you think is the reason for this?"
"Okay, Senior Sister Wang, let's pick an easy task to take on. If Deacon Zheng still says that the task has been dispatched, then he is targeting me!"
Wang Meili thought about it for a while and agreed. When she came to Deacon Zheng again, just as Chen Mo expected, she refused to let him pick her up.
Chen Mo's face looked a little ugly, and he chose a few simple tasks alone, but was still rejected.
He suppressed his temper that was about to break out, and said perfunctorily: "Deacon Zheng, since none of the tasks selected by the disciple are suitable, how about you appoint a few and let the disciple choose?"
This was what Deacon Zheng was waiting for, and he took out a jade slip. He used his spiritual consciousness to search inside and modified it before handing it to Chen Mo: "You can choose the tasks here as you please, there will definitely be no disciples to snatch it!"
Chen Mo put the jade slip on his forehead, and the contents inside appeared directly in front of his eyes. He browsed around briefly. There were only a few hunting, collecting, and picking tasks. The few sporadic tasks were quite time-consuming.
On the contrary, there are many tasks to help the alchemists in the sect and feed the sect's spiritual beasts.
"Deacon Zheng, why are there all tasks related to refining elixirs and planting spiritual fields? Disciples don't know these things at all!"
Chen Mo's face turned red from suppressing it, and he was so gloomy that he almost bleeds.
"Nonsense! If you knew how, why would I make things difficult for you!" Deacon Zheng cursed secretly in his heart, but comforted him:
"That's wrong. You are a casual cultivator, and you are used to killing people in the outside world. For your own good, I have specially found some tasks to cultivate your sentiments. Please don't misunderstand my intentions."
"Take this independent jade slip away. These are your tasks. Whatever you can complete counts, go ahead!"
After saying that, without giving Chen Mo time to react, he walked directly to the back of the hall, where another monk replaced him and sat down at the table where he received the task.
How could Wang Meili dare to do tasks with such a person? He is good at fighting, but he doesn't give him the task of fighting. This guy must not have offended an ordinary elder!
Besides, she wasn't good at doing these heresy, so after thinking about it, she might as well forget it, and don't get burned for five points of contribution.
Huang Mang silently withdrew the token, and Wang Meili comforted him: "Junior brother Chen, don't be discouraged. In three months, the sect will definitely allow you to complete it. So, senior sister, will you take the first step?"
Before leaving, she didn't mention anything about the newcomer's contribution. Not long after Wang Meili left, Chen Mo walked out of the mission hall dejectedly like a spiritual material beaten by frost.
...
After returning to the cave, Chen Mo showed excitement. He carefully read the contents of the jade slip again. There were fifteen tasks related to alchemy alone!
If he could water a few acres of spiritual fields and feed the spiritual beasts for a few days during his free time, according to his calculations, it would only take about a month at most to complete the twenty sect tasks.
"Deacon Zheng is a good man."
Chen Mo sighed. Now that all his magic weapons were destroyed and his skills were in chaos, it was difficult to fight with people, let alone perform tasks. If he was really allowed to hunt monsters, it would be a real nightmare.
Chen Mo also took the time to study the black stone's mysterious technique "Forbidden Formation and Destruction of All Things" during this period, and found that it was not something he could practice at all. The four words "looking at the ocean and sighing" can best be used to describe it.
The core of the first volume of Shengzijue is to first transform the Yin spirit power into 'qi', because the source of all the magical powers in "The Forbidden Form of the Creation and Destruction of All Things" is based on 'qi' as the main driving force.
The real power of 'Sheng Zi Jue' lies in the use of special stored energy in the body through specific techniques.
As for how to transform 'life', the black stone also explains that it requires a treasure that contains a lot of vitality to warm it up. During this period, it is necessary to continuously absorb the rich breath of life in order to truly achieve 'life' standards.
In addition to the 'Rebirth' and 'Pupation' that Chen Mo performed on the Canglan River, the black stone also has two secret techniques that can also be used by Qi Refining Dzogchen, but his current cultivation level is too low to comprehend.
"I have no plans to fight with anyone in the short term. I can postpone the work on the technique. After the crisis over the black stone is relieved, it won't be too late to go to the sect's library..."
"As for this mysterious technique..."
Chen Mo wants to practice, but he also has to recognize the reality. He has never heard of the treasure that contains vitality. This is not something he can master now, so he can only put it aside for now.
You can definitely no longer practice the Ancient Pagoda Heart Sutra. You should follow the main training methods here in Fuyun Sect, and just ask for a copy from Tian Fang, the female cultivator.
"Catalyze one hundred precious spiritual grasses, and give two points of contribution after completion."
"Take care of twenty-nine red and purple trees, collect the spiritual fruits from the trees on time at the end of the month, for a period of one month, and give fifteen points of sect contribution!"
"The three flowers of the Moonlight Flower are only accepted by disciples who are familiar with the habits of this flower. They will be cultivated for a month and given ten points of sect contribution!"
"Master Shen is about to refine a furnace of elixir. He needs to hire five herbal apprentices for twelve hours and give five points of sect contribution..."
...
Spiritual grass planting tasks generally have a long cycle, but the advantage is that you can accept multiple tasks at once and complete them together.
But even so, not many monks are willing to do it. The reason is that it requires a certain knowledge of grass and trees. There are thousands of spiritual herbs in the medicine garden. No monk who knows some common sense can remember it so clearly. In case of death, There are only a few plants, and the few sect contributions obtained from the mission are not enough to compensate.
This is also the main reason why most people are unwilling to take on planting tasks.
