Chapter 252: Choosing a Mission
[Ran^ζ^Library][]. []. After the two left the Qiankun Courtyard that day, they went to the camp in the outer courtyard to rest for the night. γRan Library (7764)γ
Before dawn the next day, they got up early, and after a little fixation, they were led by a deacon of the outer court to a row of low houses.
"This is it, you two are so good that you can't die, but you are here to trouble me at this time." The deacon walked to the front of the room, stopped abruptly, and chattered impatiently.
He put his hands on his waist, looked at Lin Ning and Li Mingheng, laughed sarcastically, and said, "You must remember clearly what I said just now, this is not the inner courtyard that everyone obeys, and when I get to the outer courtyard, what I said is the royal law." β
The news of the exile of the two of them in the outer courtyard had already spread throughout the sect, and it was precisely because of this that he was so arrogant.
If the other inner court disciples were demoted, they might still be treated favorably because of their previous status, but these two were the first to be exiled by his own personal order.
Without backing and strength, it is bound to be easily spurned.
Like him, he is polite enough to the two of them!
Just now, all the way over, those spicy eyes simply regarded them as outliers.
Thinking of this, Lin Ning took a deep breath, and just nodded lightly, which was counted as an answer.
A mere deacon can only be strong in the outer court.
"I'm tired." Li Mingheng saluted, and then walked straight into the house with Lin Ning.
The houses are lined with tiles, and at first glance, they are no different from ordinary people's houses.
This time, Lin Ning sighed from the bottom of his heart, although there is only one word difference between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, the difference is so big.
Not only has the aura thinnerped several times, but even the most basic houses are so dilapidated.
It is like a Qiankun courtyard, all of which are white walls and clean houses, green trees and flowers, and pleasant scenery.
Lin Ning was not thinking nonsense, and he had already arrived in front of the wooden door in his steps.
"Come in, don't be struggling!"
Before they could make a move, there was a sound in the room, with a bit of reprimand.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then pushed open the door and said, "Disciple Lin Ning, Li Mingheng came to receive the chores according to the order." β
The furnishings of the room are very simple, an old wooden table with two sunken wood chairs is done.
Next to the wooden table lay an inconspicuous loft with a large pile of things, books, jade slips, and a few dusty scrolls.
It looks dirty.
The person lying on the chair seemed to be napping, and he seemed extremely impatient because the two of them were bothering him for no reason.
He glanced at the two of them, and there was a sudden hint of sneer in his long narrow eyes.
He twisted his short mustache and said, "You two are outcasts who have just been kicked out of the inner court!" β
Lin Ning knew that he was sarcastic, so he didn't answer his words, but said calmly: "This senior brother, the two of us are here to receive chores, and I have you to thank you." β
"Humph!"
He saw that one of the two was stunned, and the other was as cold as frost, and he knew that he was bored at the moment, so he didn't say anything and threw over the two jade slips.
"What chores, choose it yourself, there are already people with a red circle on the back, you can't choose it, write your name on the back when you choose it."
Lin Ning spread out the jade slip and was secretly taken aback when he saw the dazzling catalogs on it.
At a cursory glance, I'm afraid there are no less than 100 kinds, but most of them have red circles behind them.
"Clean the courtyard gate and offer ten low-level spirit stones every month." Lin Ning looked at this, frowned and thought about it carefully, but still gave up.
Cleaning the courtyard gate is a simple matter, but it is difficult to start, and once you take over, not to mention the heavy work, it will also delay your own cultivation time.
So, don't choose.
"Night patrol disciples, stationed at the Six Veins Gate from night to three watches every day, offering twelve low-level spirit stones every month."
Lin Ning looked at this, and also gave up decisively, night is the best time to meditate and cultivate, it is wasted, which is extremely regrettable.
He continued to look down, and suddenly found that there was no one in the entire scroll of jade slips that met his conditions.
It's not sweeping the floor, or carrying water in the firewood room, or cruising.
It gave him a headache.
In fact, he didn't care about any chores, the key was that these chores deprived him of the only remaining cultivation resources, how could they work?
He continued to look down until he saw that there was no one who satisfied him a little, even if there was, but there were already people who had been selected later.
Lin Ning sighed, it's not easy to do handymen!
Just as he was secretly thinking about it, he suddenly swept his eyes and saw a line of small words at the bottom of the jade slip.
The handwriting is full of dense and dense letters, and these words are mixed in it, and it is difficult to see if it is not accidentally discovered.
He buried his head in the look, and a smile suddenly appeared on his sad face.
"Manage the elixir garden, pay the prescribed number of elixirs every six months, if there is a shortage, the door rules will dispose of it, and thirty low-level spirit stones will be offered every month!"
The whole roll is down, full of red circles, but there is nothing behind here.
I don't know if it's because other people didn't see it or what.
In short, Lin Ning was very satisfied with this.
"Have you chosen, hurry up!" The man sat down and scolded.
Lin Ning said with a smile: "I have chosen." β
"Oh? Let me see. Seeing the other party's smile, he was a little strange, the chores on this jade slip, some of the better ones had already been selected, and the last ones left were either harsh, or bitter and tired, and the offerings were pitiful.
He took the jade slip from Lin Ning's hand, spread it out and looked at it, and was taken aback.
"Are you sure you're going to do this?"
"What? Isn't it possible? Lin Ning frowned.
He hesitated for a while, suddenly changed his previous lazy posture, and said solemnly: "It's too difficult to manage the medicine garden, to tell you the truth, the herbs in the medicine garden are not worth a few dollars, and the elixir grows complicated, if you are not careful, it will wither or even become extinct, and it will be disposed of by the door rules for a few broken pills, it is too cost-effective, if I don't want to say thirty low-level spirit stones, even if I give me three hundred!" You'd better change it. β
Listening to his persuasion, Lin Ning smiled lightly: "Thank you senior brother for your concern, but I have already made up my mind, so I will choose this." β
What's so difficult about managing the medicine garden, he has a bit of a talent for medicine, and there are also medicinal relics such as Tianzhong Water, which is just a little elixir, it couldn't be easier.
The man glared at him, hated iron and steel, and said, "Okay, I'm good to say that you don't listen, don't blame me if something goes wrong."
With that, he took out his pen and ink, swiped it, and then turned around and took a token from the pavilion and threw it to Lin Ning.
"This is the prohibition order of the Elixir Garden, you take this to find Uncle Zeng in the Medicine Garden, and he will tell you what to do."
Lin Ning looked at the token in his hand, the token was very ordinary, faintly aura, and a big medicine word was engraved on it.
He smiled and saluted, "Thank you, senior brother!" β
At this time, Li Mingheng finished reading the jade slip, raised his head and was puzzled, he approached Lin Ning and asked in a low voice: "What is raising a beast!" How come I've never heard of it? β
After he said this, Lin Ning remembered that he had also seen this column just now.
He felt that it was too strange, so he didn't choose, and now Li Mingheng didn't react when he asked him, and it seemed that his name was related to spirit beasts and demon beasts.
But does Taiyi Sect have spirit beasts?
Lin Ning suddenly remembered the crane that Patriarch Qingyuan had ridden when he returned to the sect, and suddenly realized.
Naodao: "I see! β
But can Li Mingheng be competent?
He was a little worried.
