"Good thing?"
Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly:
"Then I'm a little curious."
He stood up and left the quiet room, came to the entrance of the cave, and casually cast a spell.
When the stream of light flickered, the legal ban set by Zhang Yao was closed. After the door of the cave opened, a smiling Fairy Li Chen stood outside.
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu, you are polite."
"Fairy please."
After the two met, Zhang Yao invited Fairy Lichen to enter the cave. The two sat down separately, and Zhang Yao asked:
"The good thing the fairy just said was not a joke, right?"
"of course not."
Fairy Li Chen shook her head with a smile and explained:
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu may not know that I am asking you to join the GCC, but there is a reward - a full 10,000 contribution points."
"I am going to share half of this contribution with you according to the old rules of the meeting."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she shook her head and said:
"So, is this a good thing?"
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Yao laughed and said loudly:
"Of course this is a great thing."
"To be honest, I am currently worried about my contribution points. This move by the fairy is really a timely help."
Contribution points can not only be exchanged for items in the treasure house list, but can also be directly exchanged for spiritual stones. One point of contribution can be exchanged for one spiritual stone.
But conversely, spirit stones cannot be exchanged for contribution points. This is not only true for the foundation building members, but also for many Qi Refining monks.
However, foundation building members enjoy privileges and can trade with each other and transfer contribution points, while Qi Refining monks are prohibited from trading with each other.
After chatting for a few words, Fairy Li Chen reached out and took out a water jade talisman from her waist and signaled:
"Then without further ado, let's get started."
Zhang Yao readily agreed, took out his water jade talisman and handed it to Fairy Li Chen.
This water jade talisman is a token of identity for members of the GCC foundation-building period. It is a special treasure in itself. It can clear the mind and gain some mana, and it can also carry the transfer of contribution points.
"Buzz!"
Fairy Li Chen cast a few spells, and wisps of brilliance were transferred from her water jade talisman to Zhang Yao's talisman.
After Zhang Yao took the talisman again, he found that there were fifty more light points in it. When his spiritual consciousness was scanned into it, he could get feedback, which meant that he had a balance of five thousand contribution points.
Afterwards, Fairy Li Chen stood up to say goodbye, and Zhang Yao sent her out of the cave.
"Fairy, walk slowly."
…………
In the blink of an eye, four or five years passed.
Zhang Yao had the follow-up skills, and he has been cultivating quietly in the Cangjiang Water Mansion.
Many foundation-building monks from the GCC often gather together to hold Dharma meetings. Zhang Yao also participated many times and gradually integrated into this organization.
Zhang Yao benefited a lot from the mutual exchange of cultivation experiences. The process of 'guiding spirits with formations' and 'refining spirits and controlling qi' became smoother, and his cultivation speed increased a lot.
At a small trade fair within the GCC, he also exchanged 20,000 spiritual stones for a flying sword of the primary spiritual weapon level. It was both a flying treasure and a killing weapon, which increased his strength even more. One chip.
And at the same time:
The news that the GCC had an additional foundation-building monk gradually spread among the Dali Immortal Cultivation World, but it did not attract many people's attention.
The only impact is that the GCC's momentum has become stronger, its share of interests in various places has also increased, and the Qi Refining disciples have become stronger than before.
One day five years from now:
"Master Qingxu."
Zhang Yao was cultivating quietly in the cave, when suddenly the formation at the door was touched, and a clear voice came:
"Shirakawa is here to visit. Do you have any free time?"
"It turns out to be Master Shirakawa, wait a moment."
Zhang Yao responded, hurriedly stood up and left the quiet room, inviting Master Baihe into the cave.
"Master Qingxu, it's like this..."
After Master Baihe sat down, he got straight to the point:
"It has been five years since I joined the GCC, and your first assignment has been handed down."
"oh?"
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, but he was mentally prepared and immediately signaled:
"Please tell me, real person."
Master Baihe waved his sleeves, and a curtain of light appeared out of thin air, revealing a map:
"Please take a look, real person. This is a map of the northern part of our Fangzhou."
"We have several spiritual gold veins in Fangzhou, including higher-grade black jade mines and Taibai fine gold veins."
Master Baihe stretched out his hand, pointed at a mountain range on the map, and said:
"This is Suiyu Mountain, which is our core interest in Fangzhou."
"The most precious black jade mines and Taibai fine gold veins are both in Suiyu Mountain. They need a foundation-building monk to take charge of them for a long time."
"For the past ten years, Fellow Taoist Luo He was in charge at Suiyu Mountain. Now that his term is coming to an end, a new comrade needs to take over and take his place."
Zhang Yao heard this and understood, and said:
"I see."
"Then I'll get ready and set off immediately."
Distributing tasks is not mandatory and you can choose to refuse or negotiate.
But according to Zhang Yao's understanding, being in charge of Suiyu Mountain is a lucrative job. During the period of being in charge, there will be an additional subsidy of 500 contribution points, and because the term is ten years, it is equivalent to two missions.
Moreover, if he occasionally takes some refined ore for his own use, as long as it is not too much, Master Haihe will not care about it and will not even ask.
By assigning him this dispatch task, he is properly taking care of the newcomers.
"Real people don't have to be in such a hurry."
Master Baihe smiled and said:
"Fellow Taoist Luo He's term ends in three months. You can just arrive at Suiyu Mountain before that and complete the handover with him."
"During this period, Taoist friends can use it to deal with personal matters and prepare to be in charge for a long time. Once the handover is completed, unless there are special circumstances, you cannot leave your post without permission."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, thank you fellow Taoist for informing me."
After the two exchanged a few words, Zhang Yao sent Master Bai He out of the cave, and he also left the Cangjiang Water Mansion.
"boom!"
A ray of light broke through the river surface and flew high into the sky.
Zhang Yao recognized the direction, turned around, and rushed towards Xianmen Island.
"It will take ten years to take control of Suiyu Mountain."
He flew into the sky and thought to himself:
"Although there are no external enemies in Suiyu Mountain, we need to guard against riots by the mining slaves, accidents in the mines, or people stealing or stealing the ore, which means we will be distracted all the time."
"Since I can't practice wholeheartedly, I should take advantage of this period of time to practice the Yellow Talisman and the Soul Spell..."
The soul spell, thanks to the power of his soul, does not require much extra energy.
But the way of Huangfu is different.
In the past few years, Zhang Yao has also taken the time to understand and ponder the Tao of Huang Fu, and found that it is a foundation-building Tao method that combines talismans, formations, and weapon refining methods.
The so-called 'Foundation-Building Dao Technique' is a simplified version of the divine channel technique. For example, Zhang Yao's 'Qinglian Song' is a kind of Foundation-Building Dao Technique, and its power is generally much greater than that of normal high-level spells.
Most high-level spells have limits in their power and are no longer applicable after the foundation period. If you want to compete with monks of the same level, you must either rely on spiritual weapons or Taoist methods.
"Practice the Yellow Talisman Way, which requires a lot of materials."
"However, after I practice successfully, my strength will also be greatly enhanced. It would be good to succeed in practice early."
Zhang Yao thought of this and slightly increased his speed of escaping light.
A few hours later:
Zhang Yao came to Xianmen Island and went to the inner island to purchase a large amount of materials, spending nearly 30,000 spirit stones.
The materials in this batch range from low to high, with hundreds of types, and the highest ones include second-level spiritual objects. It is more than enough to support him in practicing Huangfu Taoism.
…………
Two months later.
Fangzhou, Suiyu Mountain.
There are several huge mines hidden in the majestic and majestic mountains.
A small city was built on top of a majestic mountain, and the people coming and going were like hard-working bees.
This small mountain city is the branch of the GCC in Suiyu Mountain. There are more than a hundred Qi Refining monks living in it, all of whom are low-level members of the GCC.
"boom!"
A ray of cyan light roared in, piercing the sky and causing the sea of clouds on both sides to churn.
"Um?"
In the Fentan City, a middle-aged monk who was cultivating in a cave suddenly opened his eyes:
"This breath... is from fellow Taoist Qingxu!"
A smile appeared on Luo He's face.
Although he has been sitting in Suiyu Mountain, he will still participate in the annual formal Dharma conference in the GCC.
The GCC was not a big organization, with only ten foundation-building monks in total. He had dealt with Zhang Yao several times and was familiar with them.
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu!"
He stood up and left the quiet room, heading to the door to prepare for the greeting. At the same time, he used his spiritual thoughts to say hello.
"Brother Luo He!"
Zhang Yao slowly lowered his escape light, a wave of water flashed across his body, and the protective formation automatically opened a gap.
His escaping light passed through the gap and landed at the door of Luo He's cave. He bowed his head and said with a smile:
"We haven't seen each other for a year, but Brother Tao is still as charming as ever."
"Ha ha……"
Luo He stroked his beard and smiled, then said:
"Fellow Daoist Qingxu came early. I thought you would be stuck in time and come here in the last few days."
"Let's go in and talk."
He invited Zhang Yao into the cave, served him spiritual tea and spiritual fruit, and then started chatting.
Zhang Yao took this opportunity to ask a lot about Suiyu Mountain, and Luo He patiently answered them one by one.
"...Really? Mine slave riots often happen here?"
Zhang Yao was a little surprised.
"right."
Luo He snorted coldly and said slowly:
"There are a total of thousands of mining slaves gathered in the mines of Suiyu Mountain. They are all immortal cultivators. Naturally they are unwilling to settle down."
"Even though I knew that there was a foundation building in place, and the riot almost narrowly escaped death, I still took a chance and tried my best to seize every opportunity and find loopholes in the mine management..."
Zhang Yao was a little curious when he heard this:
"Thousands of mining slaves, all cultivators of immortality? Where did so many people come from?"
Luo He explained:
"The black jade veins and white fine gold here cannot be mined by ordinary people. They can only rely on immortal cultivators with magical powers."
"As for the origins of these mining slaves, a small number of them are captured evil cultivators, demon cultivators and robbery cultivators. As for the rest..."
Good night, dear readers.
