The weather has cleared up, and the rent-collecting disciples from the Sect's Sinong Hall should be here soon.
Gao Zhengzheng, Senior Brother Gao, I’ve been waiting for you so long that I can’t wait to see you!
The harvest of Qianzhong millet this season is good. I don’t plan to sell the grain, but prepare to make wine!
The spirit wine brewing technology needs to be figured out from you.
Xu Ke practiced step by step while waiting for Gao Zhengzheng to arrive.
However...Xu Ke didn't know that Senior Brother Gao Zhengzheng, whom he had been thinking about deeply, was suffering terribly and wanted to die.
The Sinong Hall of the Haoyang Immortal Sect was established in Dafang City, the Haoyang Immortal Sect, which is also commonly known as "Haoyang City".
At this moment, Gao Zheng was talking to a young man in a house in Haoyang City.
"What? Senior Brother Zhao, are you saying that all those animal spiritual materials cannot be used?"
Gao Zhengzheng's eyes widened, and the fat on his face was trembling, "Is it impossible? The material of these beasts' spiritual materials is very good. Compared with the spirit beasts bred in the Zongmen's Beast Control Hall, these materials are higher. Why? Maybe it’s useless?”
"That's what I originally thought."
The young man next to him, Brother Zhao, shook his head at Gao Zhengzheng, "I used the materials you provided to refine a spell, but... the making of the spell failed! There is a trace of strange power in those animal materials, It will interfere with the spiritual power of the spell, making it useless."
"Is this impurity spiritual power? Since it will interfere with the operation of the spell, then remove this impurity spiritual power!"
Gao Zhengzheng's voice became a little sharp, as if he thought: Why should I speak for such a simple matter? If there are impurities in spiritual power, wouldn't it be better to just remove them?
"That's the problem."
Senior Brother Zhao shook his head, "The impurity spiritual power is integrated with the material itself. It cannot be removed without destroying the material. Not only can I not remove it, but even my master tried it and it was also removed. No."
"ah?"
Gao Zheng was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
The master of Senior Brother Zhao in front of him is a great monk who has perfected his Foundation Establishment. It is said that he is expected to be promoted to Golden Elixir within a hundred years.
If even such a person cannot solve the problem, then we will be in big trouble.
Even the foundation-building monks can't solve it. How can I, a disciple in the Qi training stage, have the ability to invite Master Jindan to take action?
Let’s not talk about whether we can hire him or not. Even if he can hire him, he won’t be able to hire me even if he sells me!
It’s over! It’s over!
This round of losses was so bad that I vomited blood!
Thinking of the large amount of animal spiritual materials he had purchased from casual cultivators, Gao Zhengzheng was sweating all over his body, his face was pale, and he sat down on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.
------------------
early morning.
Xu Ke had just finished practicing the "Yellow Turban Bodybuilding Technique" and was about to go back to the house to make breakfast when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front door.
Could it be that Senior Brother Gao Zhengzheng is here? So early?
Xu Ke quickly cast a cleansing spell on himself to disperse the sweat from his body. He hurried back to the house and reached out to open the door.
Then……
Gao Zhengzheng didn't come, but that "insurance-selling" senior brother Wang came.
"Senior Brother Wang?"
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, "You have something to do with me this early in the morning?"
"It's true."
Senior Brother Wang smiled and nodded, "The Master has issued a decree: On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, a sect competition will be held! I have received the assignment and am here to announce the Master's decree to all my fellow disciples!"
"In addition, before the sect competition, the Sinong Palace will conduct an assessment first, and the time is scheduled to be on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month."
Sect competition?
Is it another sect competition where "a group of disciples compete in martial arts, whoever wins will get a prize, and the one with the highest ranking can be promoted to the inner sect, be favored by the sect boss, and can become a disciple"?
The corners of Xu Ke's mouth trembled slightly. This scene... is a bit old!
Such an antique sect competition is still used? No one has even read it in the novel, right? Doesn’t the real master know how to keep pace with the times?
Suppressing his desire to complain, Xu Ke looked up at Senior Brother Wang and asked, "Senior Brother, how can we, the farming disciples, participate in the sect competition? Do we compete with others?"
"A duel?"
Senior Brother Wang was obviously startled, "How could you have such an idea? What does fighting and killing have to do with us farmers? We just need to take part in the assessment of Sinong Hall, there is no need to compete."
"Not a competition?"
Xu Ke was also stunned for a moment, a little confused about the situation, "Then... what are we competing against?"
"Of course it's farming! This is what we do!"
Senior Brother Wang had an expression of "Are you stupid?" "We farming disciples, no matter how good we are at fighting, can we fight better than the inner disciples? Can we fight better than the true disciples?"
This is not necessarily the case!
Whether you can fight better than a true disciple, you have to fight to know!
Xu Ke raised his eyebrows. You may not believe it, but if we are in the same realm, I am really not afraid of any true disciples.
Of course, there is no need to tell Senior Brother Wang these things.
So, Xu Ke asked Senior Brother Wang again: "Comparing farming? How can we compare this? Do we need to farm on the spot? Isn't this impossible?"
“I don’t really want you to farm on site.”
Senior Brother Wang shook his head, "The main purpose is to test your cultivation and mastery of farming spells, and use this to evaluate your level."
Having said this, Senior Brother Wang sighed, looking a little lonely.
"For us old guys, this Si Nong Hall assessment is just a formality. Anyway, we have not been able to break through in our cultivation, and there is no hope of promotion!"
Looking up at Xu Ke, Senior Brother Wang sighed, "It's better to be young! For young people like you, the Sinong Hall assessment is an opportunity for promotion."
"Take you for example."
Pointing at Xu Ke, Senior Brother Wang said: "If your cultivation reaches the fourth level of Qi training and you are proficient in farming skills, then this is an excellent opportunity to be promoted to a serving disciple of the Sinong Hall."
After saying that, Senior Brother Wang shook his head again.
"It's a pity that your cultivation and spells are not enough. Before the sect competition, you simply cannot meet the standards to be promoted to the serving disciples of the Sinong Hall, and there is no possibility of being selected."
You are mistaken!
Xu Ke secretly laughed in his heart and kept a calm expression on his face as he continued to ask: "Senior Brother Wang, what are the benefits of this promotion you mentioned?"
Is the serving disciple of the Sinong Hall the same level as Gao Zhengzheng?
The higher your status, the more benefits you will get. However, Xu Ke is not sure yet about the specific benefits.
"Benefits? Countless!"
Senior Brother Wang pointed at the fields outside, "What we are planting now is the lowest-grade spiritual field, and we can only grow the most valuable silver-leaf jute and thousand-bell millet."
"If you can be promoted, you can cultivate middle-grade spiritual fields or even high-grade spiritual fields. Spiritual tea, spiritual fruits, and elixirs are much more valuable than Qianzhong Millet."
"More importantly, the sect only teaches our cultivation techniques for those in the early stage of Qi training. If you break through the realm and advance to the fourth level of Qi training, you still need to go to the teaching hall and spend money to buy the techniques before you can continue to practice."
"Becoming a serving disciple of the Sinong Hall, you will have an identity badge issued by the sect. You will have a free opportunity to enter the Chuan Dharma Hall to choose secret books, and you will also have a free opportunity to enter the Chuan Dharma Hall once a year to observe."
"Moreover, we are now cultivating spiritual fields and need to hand over 70% of the harvest to the sect. However, after becoming a serving disciple of the Sinong Hall, we only need to hand over 50%. The status and status are not comparable to those of us low-level farming disciples."
understood!
The farming disciples at the bottom are temporary workers, while the serving disciples of the Sinong Hall are established.
It seems that the identity of this serving disciple of the Sinong Hall is quite good!
This "Sect Competition" is actually the "Sinong Hall Assessment", and it is still necessary to participate seriously.
