Chapter 6 Arrogant Servants
Suddenly, Zhan Nianchuan heard Lin Hongzhi's exclamation.
"What is that?"
Zhan Nianchuan looked up and saw a small blue dot in the distant sky, flying towards them and quickly growing larger. It turned out to be a blue flying boat of more than 20 feet.
Looking carefully, the flying boat was shining with spiritual light, and there were more than a hundred children crowded on it, looking at them curiously.
"Hahahaha, fate, Junior Sister Tong, you have grown a lot in a few years."
A young man with a slicked-back face and a thin figure at the bow greeted with a smile, and kept looking at Tong Xi with fiery eyes.
Tong Xi's pretty face sank when she saw this, and she snorted coldly and turned her head away without paying attention.
The young man who had been frustrated changed his face, looked at the five children on the flying sword, and laughed, "Brother Chen, how come you Lindan Peak recruited so few disciples? Tsk tsk tsk, I am worried that in a few years, the seven peaks of Xuantian may become six peaks."
Unable to tolerate the arrogance of the pale-faced man, Brother Chen shouted angrily, "Humph, it's just that the points that Sister Tong and I are responsible for are relatively small. Bai Shaochi, what's the use of recruiting more of those crooked melons and cracked dates from your Yunlong Peak?"
For many years, their Lindan Peak was indeed the weakest among the seven peaks of Xuantian, and had to keep a low profile. However, now that they have newly recruited Lin Hongzhi, a genius with dual spiritual roots of water and fire, Brother Chen is confident to say this.
Hearing this, the pale-faced man frowned, "Oh, so, your Lindan Peak has recruited a good fairy seedling this time?"
He examined the five children, trying to judge who is the most promising newcomer.
Seeing him like this and feeling Lin Hongzhi's slightly changed expression, Senior Brother Chen's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it was not good. This guy obviously wanted to poach people, and he must not let him do so.
"We have to go back and report, so we won't waste time with you here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tong Xi stepped on the flying sword and turned into a red stream of light and flew forward. She hated Bai Tianchi and didn't want to stay here for a moment.
At the bow of the flying boat behind, Bai Tianchi looked at the sword shadow that disappeared quickly and smiled disdainfully, "You are so stubborn. If you meet my peak in the peak confrontation meeting three years later, I will make you suffer!"
......
Through the heavy fog, seven huge mountains surrounded by white clouds appeared below. There was a grand building on each peak, and there was a faint light flowing above. It was the Xuantian Seven Peaks.
The children had never seen such a magnificent scene before. They were all excited and emotional, and their sorrow of parting was immediately diluted.
Tong Xi began to lower the light of escape, suppressed the flying sword, and slowly circled down, landing on a huge square at the foot of the peak.
Next to the attic in front, there was a huge stone several feet high, with three large characters written on it.
Oddlers' Office.
"This is where you odd jobs stay. Work hard and see you again if you are lucky." Chen Qizhi's voice was very indifferent.
Zhan Nianchuan and Li Xiaoqiang jumped off the flying sword, and saw that Tong Xi had already called a odd job.
The odd job saw Tong Xi and Chen Qizhi and hurriedly saluted, respectful, which made Zhan Nianchuan very emotional. It seemed that he would have to do the same in the future.
The flying sword flew up again, carrying Lin Hongzhi and the other two directly to the top of one of the peaks, and soon disappeared into the sky.
Seeing the flying sword disappear, the disciple took them to the odd job, handed them a small cloth bag, and told them some precautions.
"The leader here is Deacon Jiang Zheng, but Senior Brother Li Hong is in charge of daily affairs. You should come here to report to him tomorrow morning."
Zhan Nianchuan and Li Xiaoqiang nodded in agreement. Zhan Nianchuan sensitively sensed the fear that the errand boy showed when talking about Li Hong.
"It seems that Li Hong is not easy to get along with." Zhan Nianchuan thought silently in his heart.
"You are all errand disciples. There are no resources to distribute. If you want to cultivate resources, you have to do things in exchange for contribution points. With contribution points, you can go to the Contribution Hall to exchange for various resources...
After introducing everything, the errand boy led the two to a large bungalow and let them choose where to live.
Zhan Nianchuan chose a secluded residence, while Li Xiaoqiang chose a house next to Zhan Nianchuan, which made Zhan Nianchuan frown slightly, but it was difficult to say anything. He didn't dislike this kid.
"Okay, you just arrived and rest here. There is a bigu pill in the cloth bag. You can eat one when you are hungry. I will leave first. "
"Thank you, senior brother. What's your name?" Zhan Nianchuan hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Liu Feng, you can find me if you need anything." Liu Feng left after saying that.
For a moment, the place became quiet.
"Let's go and see how our residence is." Looking at the young man who was half a head shorter than him and looked uneasy, Zhan Nianchuan smiled and pushed open the door behind him.
As they entered, the room automatically lit up with white light, which was emitted by a kind of white crystal embedded in the wall. It was very bright, which made Zhan Nianchuan and the others marvel.
It was very empty inside, with a bed, a chair, and a table, nothing else.
"Senior brother, I feel like it's hard to get by here." Li Xiaoqiang was very worried.
"What are you afraid of? If they can get by, we can definitely do it too. "Zhan Nianchuan comforted casually, sitting on the bed and taking out the servant's pocket.
Inside was a servant's token, two sets of servant's clothes, a thin book and a small jade bottle, which contained more than ten pills, which I think are the fasting pills mentioned by Liu Feng.
"Maybe this is the only pill that a servant can get." Zhan Nianchuan laughed at himself, shook his head and opened the thin book.
There were several large characters on it,
"Chenhuo Zhendian, Condensing Qi Chapter."
Zhan Nianchuan's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes showed excitement. He gently opened the bamboo book and began to read the pictures and text annotations on it. According to the book, there are three levels of cultivation: refining qi, building foundation and forming elixir. This Chenhuo Zhendian is enough to cultivate to the elixir stage, and this book is the cultivation method of the first to third levels of the Condensing Qi stage, and it also contains the simplest fireball technique.
Drawing qi into the body is considered the first level of refining qi. The practitioner will be light and healthy, and the five senses will become sharp. Being able to flexibly use the spiritual energy in the body is considered the second level, and the birth of spiritual consciousness begins. At the third level, you can control external objects for your own use and start practicing fireball. At the sixth level, the weight of the external objects you can control will increase significantly, and you can even fly with a sword. As for the later techniques, the book did not mention it.
After reading the pictures and texts in the book, it was already late, and Li Xiaoqiang had left at some point. I think he left because he saw that he was too fascinated by the book.
At this time, he felt hungry, so he took out a bigu pill and swallowed it. Soon he felt full. This made him sigh again at the various magics of the immortals and strengthened his belief in taking root in Xuantian Sect.
After reading the thin book several times, Zhan Nianchuan sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.
He took a deep breath, relaxed his whole body, and dilated his pores. He imagined everything as nothingness according to what was written in the thin book, and felt the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but there was no sense.
A quarter of an hour passed.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Zhan Nianchuan opened his eyes, his eyes calm. As expected, he could not sense the spiritual energy between the outside world, let alone absorb the spiritual energy into his body.
Only after trying again, he closed his eyes again, not anxious or impatient, turned himself into nothingness again, and felt it calmly.
The situation still did not change at all, and Zhan Nianchuan was not anxious. He was mentally prepared for his qualifications.
A sleepless night.
In the early morning, there was a knock on the door. Zhan Nianchuan opened his eyes, got out of bed and opened the door. It was indeed Li Xiaoqiang.
"Let's go, senior brother, we have to go to senior brother Li Hong to take the task."
"Okay, wait a minute." Zhan Nianchuan went back to the room to change into errand clothes, and went to the errand office in the square yesterday with Li Xiaoqiang.
Along the way, they met many errands, all holding various tools, looking very busy, and they just looked at them curiously and left.
......
Entering the errand office, a big stubby disciple sat on a chair, looking very fat, and the errand disciple with a face full of flesh looked at Zhan Nianchuan and the others coldly.
"But senior brother Li Hong?" Zhan Nianchuan saw that Li Xiaoqiang was timid and didn't speak, so he had to bow his hands.
"Yes, I am Li Hong, you two newcomers remember that here, Deacon Jiang Zheng is the boss. When he is not here, I am the boss. Did you hear it?" Li Hong was very arrogant.
Zhan Nianchuan didn't like this guy at all, but he had to nod his head.
Seeing that their attitude was quite good, Li Hong nodded with satisfaction, "Come up and choose your tasks."
The two of them stepped forward and saw that various tasks were written on the book, and the contribution points that would be obtained after completing the tasks were also written.
After a selection, Zhan Nianchuan chose the task of excavating the fire crystal mine. This task depends entirely on the quantity and quality of the excavated crystals. This task is the most suitable for Zhan Nianchuan, who has an extremely strong body, while Li Xiaoqiang chose the task of taking care of the medicine garden.
After waiting for them to choose their tasks, Li Hong nodded, closed the book, and said something that surprised them.
"This job can be given to you, but you have to give me 70% of your monthly contribution points!"
Zhan Nianchuan was angry, "Brother Li, this is not good. If we give you 70%, then we are working for you instead of for the sect?"
"Bang!" Li Hong slapped the table, stood up with his fat body, and his eyes were fierce, "Yes, you are working for me, Li Hong, will you do it?"
"We won't do it!" Li Xiaoqiang next to him also spoke angrily, making Li Hong very angry.
"Okay, okay, since you don't know how to lift up, I will give you a good task to do." Li Hong said viciously.
"You," he pointed at Zhan Nianchuan, "fill the water tank on Lindan Peak!"
Turning his head and staring at Li Xiaoqiang, he grinned, "You don't have much meat on your body, just guard the utility room."
"Get out!"
