Chapter 446: Imperial City Sacred Courtyard (17)
When he came to the door, Ji Dong directly took out his identity card and put it directly into a groove in the door. At this time, there was no need for anyone to introduce them, because Elder Yu had already made it clear that their identity tag was the key to the door, and it was the only one.
"Click!!"
The identity card was put into the groove, and the door of the house was directly opened, and as the door opened, a strong attribute power suddenly rushed from the house, although it definitely couldn't catch up with the concentration of attribute power in the secret room area, but it was really rare.
"It should be the breath of spirit grass." As soon as he raised his eyebrows, Ji Dong had already felt it almost instantly, and the breath that came to his face was not like the breath from the secret room area, but a very fresh spirit grass breath.
Thinking to himself, his figure slowly entered the room, and then, a very simple-looking independent space appeared in front of him.
In the eye, a bed made of spar was placed in the innermost, this spar bed was not ordinary at first glance, it should be a material that would be helpful for cultivation, and there was a faint mist rippling on it.
On the side of the bed, several pots of spirit grass grew vigorously, and two of the pots of spirit grass even bloomed, and even produced a few round fruits, I don't know what variety they were.
Undoubtedly, the power of the attributes in the house should be released by these pots of spiritual grass, which makes people feel at ease and uninvolved.
Other than that, there are no more conspicuous large objects in the room, which can be described as extremely simple.
"Tsk, it's so simple, it seems that the inner courtyard wants us to spend all our time on cultivation!"
Shaking his head and smiling, he was quite satisfied with the house in front of him, at least he could feel that this place must be relatively safe, as long as the door was closed, then even if it was a strong person with a strength that surpassed him, it would be difficult for him to use brute force to enter.
"Let's see what the inner courtyard has to do with us next, I think it's impossible for us to come to the Holy Courtyard to just hide in the room and cultivate."
With a sigh of relief, his gaze couldn't help but sweep around the room, and finally fixed his gaze on the only stone bed, where a thin book was quietly laid out, but it was the third thing that could be seen in the whole room, besides the stone bed and flowers.
"It should be right here, right?" When he saw the book on the stone bed, he didn't hesitate any longer, and as he spoke, he came to the front and picked up the book.
"A newcomer's guide? This should be it!! ”
Seeing the four eye-catching characters on the book, he knew that his guess should not be wrong.
In the room, Ji Dong was already sitting cross-legged on the stone bed at this time, quietly watching the newcomer guide prepared by the Holy Academy for newcomer disciples.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to the newcomer's guide, but after he looked at it for a while, he realized that this thin book was much more useful than he had imagined.
"Good fellow, I'll just say, the inner courtyard is definitely not going to make our newcomers live too comfortably, and now it seems that my guess is not false at all."
He quickly browsed through all the simple pages, and after reading them, his eyelids couldn't help but tremble, and he muttered faintly in his heart.
On this thin newcomer's guide, the Holy Courtyard first gave them the most direct instructions for these newcomers - complete three tasks within a month, and those who complete them can get task rewards, and those who fail to complete them will be punished by the Holy Academy!
The three tasks are not very many, but what really makes him pay more attention is not the three tasks themselves, but the remarks about the punishment of the Holy Court, which really makes him feel a little frightened.
"What is the punishment of this holy house? He said that he could still lose his life? It's not going to be a joke with everyone, is it? ”
The newcomer's guide has made a more detailed note on the punishment of the Holy Courtyard, and the one that people can't forget after reading it is that sentence - the punishment is very dangerous, and it is possible to lose your life!
"That's too hard, isn't it? It's understandable to be punished for failing to complete the task, but what does it mean that you might lose your life? Do you have to put your life on the line if you can't complete the mission? ”
Shaking his head, Ji Dong's mood, which had just calmed down, couldn't help but become restless again.
He knew very well in his heart that the Holy Courtyard would definitely not be untargeted, and since this newcomer's guide was written like this, then if he really couldn't complete the task, maybe he might really have to pay the price of his life.
"Hey, why are you playing so big? This has just finished a year of cultivation, so can't you let everyone rest and rest? With a sigh, he knew that he was afraid that he was about to embark on a new journey.
According to the description above in the newcomer's guide, after the newcomer disciples have completed a year of cultivation, they must complete three tasks, to put it bluntly, they must complete the test that the Holy Academy has for them, and as long as they can complete the task on time, the Holy Academy will give them a rich reward, but once they fail, the Holy Academy will severely punish them with life-threatening punishments.
As for what kind of punishment it is, the newcomer's guide does not say it clearly, but no matter what the punishment is, a single life-threatening punishment already explains everything.
"Fortunately, my three tasks are not too difficult, and with my ability, I shouldn't be able to complete them." Stabilizing his mind, he couldn't help but focus on the three tasks on the newcomer's guide, according to the guide, the three tasks of each newcomer disciple are different, and the difficulty is also randomly assigned, it depends on whose luck is better and can choose a more easy task.
His three tasks were indeed okay, the first task was to bring back a blood ginseng plant that was more than a thousand years old from the outside and hand it over to Elder Mu Yi in the inner courtyard.
The second task is to hunt down a gold-level snow fox and bring it back to Elder Yu Qingyan.
The third task was to go to Yulong Mountain to retrieve the spring water of the Thousand Pounds of Blue Water Hantan, and also handed it over to Elder Mu Yi.
Three tasks, each task has a simple introduction, in general it is relatively easy to complete, it seems that his luck this time is not bad, and he drew three relatively simple tasks.
"I don't know how lucky the other people are, whether they also drew a relatively simple task............" optimistic about his task, he couldn't help but worry about the other people in his heart.
The guide says that the difficulty of the task is random, which means that the task drawn by someone else is likely to be more difficult than the task in his hand, but in fact, even the task in his hand must be done with all his strength if it is handed over to someone else.
If someone else's task is more difficult than that, it's hard to do it in a month.
"Bang Bang Bang ............"
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the sound was clearly full of eagerness.
"Huh? Having a guest come to your door so soon? The sudden knock on the door made Ji Dong slightly stunned, but he still got off the stone bed leisurely and opened the door directly.
"Senior Brother Ji Dong, Senior Brother Help............"
The door opened, and a man with a sad face rushed in directly, and without saying a word, he directly grabbed Ji Dong's arm, full of crying.
"Senior Brother Lu Shenghua?!" Seeing the visitor, Ji Dong's eyes condensed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced outside, but found that there was nothing abnormal outside, so he took his eyes back and looked at Lu Shenghua in front of him.
"Senior Brother Lu, what's going on?"
His face was solemn, and Ji Dong's tone also became a little low. In his mind, someone must have bullied Lu Shenghua's head, which made the other party what it is now, and if this is really the case, he will definitely make the other party look good!
"Senior Brother Ji Dong, but I've read the newcomer's guide?!"
Grabbing Ji Dong's arm with both hands, Lu Shenghua's face was still full of excitement, and there was still a hint of crying in his tone.
"A newcomer's guide? Naturally, I watched it............ Doom ........."
Hearing Lu Shenghua's words, Ji Dong was slightly stunned at first, and then he understood a little. Linked to Lu Shenghua's expression at this moment, he basically guessed eight or nine at this time.
"It's good to see it, Senior Brother Ji Dong should take a look at my mission, this is ......... How can I do that? Senior Brother Ji Dong has a lot of ideas, and he also asked Senior Brother to think of a way for the foolish brother! ”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand and directly took out a book of almost the same thickness, which was the newcomer's guide in his room.
"This ............" Hearing Lu Shenghua say this, Ji Dong knew that his guess should be right, it seems that this Senior Brother Huang must have been unlucky and drew a more difficult task, so he cried and ran to himself for help.
Among the several people in Qindu University, Lu Shenghua's strength is definitely the worst, if the other party draws a task that is more difficult than his, there is really no possibility of completing it.
Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but take the other party's newcomer guide, turned directly to the task page, and then watched it slowly.
"This ......... .........Soon, Lu Shenghua's three tasks were swept by him one by one, but when he finished reading the other party's three tasks, his eyes were already round, but he couldn't believe his eyes.
For the three tasks he drawn, Ji Dong already felt that it was not easy. However, seeing the three tasks drawn by Lu Shenghua at this time, he only felt that he was really lucky!
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it? What kind of tasks are these, it's simply impossible to accomplish them all, right?! ”
Taking a deep breath, Ji Dong's face couldn't help but tremble, but he didn't dare to imagine that Lu Shenghua had drawn such three tasks, to put it bluntly, no matter who drew such a task, the chances of completing it were probably not great.
As for Lu Shenghua, he might as well go directly to the upper echelons of the Holy Courtyard and tell them that he would abstain, which would save some energy.
"Senior Brother Ji Dong, do you know my plight now? No matter which of these three tasks, I can't complete it!! ”
Seeing Ji Dong's expression, the bitterness on Lu Shenghua's face was even stronger, because he could see that even Ji Dong, a super powerhouse, was obviously shocked by his mission, and he didn't know if he could help him.
"The inner courtyard is really a place where there is no reason to talk about, and these three tasks are really a bit unreasonable." Shaking his head, Ji Dong couldn't find a suitable word to describe the arrangement of the inner courtyard at this time, in his opinion, the inner courtyard handed over these three tasks to the hands of the newcomer disciples, which was obviously embarrassing.
"Senior Brother Ji Dong, you are strong and have a lot of ideas, do you think there is any way to help me? If I don't complete the mission, I'll have to accept the perverted punishment of the Holy Courtyard!! ”
Lu Shenghua was really going to cry at this time, he knew very well that with his own strength, he would not be able to complete any of the above three tasks, and he would accept the punishment of the Holy Court at that time, and he didn't know if he would be able to resist it.
"This ............" Seeing Lu Shenghua's expression, Ji Dong's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but think quickly in his heart.
"The three tasks that Senior Brother Huang drew are indeed more difficult, although if I want to find a way, it is not impossible to complete it, but I also have to complete my own tasks, I'm afraid that I will lack skills!!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said with a very embarrassed expression.
"This ............" Hearing Ji Dong's answer, Lu Shenghua's eyes couldn't help but light up, but then it darkened again.
"Hey, okay, since Senior Brother Ji Dong is also in trouble, then foolish brother, I'll think of other ways, if it really doesn't work, I will accept the punishment of the Holy Academy, and I may not be able to do anything to me if I think about it."
Even Ji Dong couldn't help him, so he could only wait to accept the punishment of the Holy Court, as for whether he could withstand the punishment of the Holy Court, he could only resign himself to fate.
"Senior Brother Huang, don't worry, I have thought of a way, why don't you exchange your newcomer guide with me, and I will complete Senior Brother Huang's task, and Senior Brother Huang will complete my task, I think with Senior Brother Huang's strength, my three tasks are still relatively easy to complete."
As he spoke, he directly took his newcomer guide and handed it directly to Lu Shenghua.
"What? The two of us swap tasks? ”
Hearing Ji Dong's words, Lu Shenghua's face suddenly changed, and a trace of joy flashed almost uncontrollably in his eyes, and he subconsciously took Ji Dong's newcomer manual and looked at it directly.
He quickly browsed all the three tasks, but after he finished reading them, he couldn't help but shake his head and handed them back to Ji Dong directly.
"Hey, Senior Brother Ji Dong's kindness, Brother Fool understands it, it's just this matter of exchanging tasks, I think it's better to forget it!" Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of struggle, but in the end, reason prevailed over selfishness.
He is not a fool, Ji Dong's three tasks are much simpler than his tasks, and as long as he does his best, he should be able to complete them as scheduled.
Obviously, Ji Dong clearly wanted to help him, so he had to give him the simple task and take on the difficult task himself, in fact, he couldn't see it, even Ji Dong didn't have the slightest confidence in his task.
He really felt admiration from the bottom of his heart for Ji Dong's righteous actions that harmed himself and others, but no matter what, he couldn't let Ji Dong bear these for himself.
"Hehe, where is the senior brother, although the senior brother's task is really difficult, have you forgotten the ability of the younger brother? If you can't even do these tasks, then how can the little brother lead everyone to win the championship of the inner courtyard battle? ”
Seeing Lu Shenghua's expression, Ji Dong knew that the other party was afraid that he would see his thoughts, but since he had already decided to help the other party, there was no reason to give up halfway.
"Brush !!"
casually probed, he didn't wait for the other party to object, he directly put away the other party's newcomer manual, "Senior brother doesn't need to say much, this matter is so decided, if senior brother shirks it again, it means that he doesn't believe in my strength!" ”
Speaking of this, his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly, as if he was really a little unhappy because of the other party's contempt.
"This ........." Seeing that Ji Dong actually took away his rookie guide, Lu Shenghua's face suddenly changed, "Senior Brother Ji Dong, it's not that I don't believe in your strength, it's just that those tasks of yours could have been completed easily, and there is really no need to risk trying my tasks........."
Although Ji Dong behaved very naturally, he still believed that the other party must have done it on purpose, after all, no one would let go of easy tasks and choose difficult tasks.
At this point, he couldn't help but regret coming to look for Ji Dong a little.
"Senior brother doesn't need to say much, the decisions I make as a person will never be changed easily, no matter whether senior brother will complete my tasks or not, I must do these three tasks of yours."
Waving his hand, Ji Dong was also thinking about the other party's three tasks at this time, in fact, with his current strength, the other party's three tasks, he really did not have the slightest possibility of completing them, although the difficulty was indeed great, but this may not be an opportunity for him!
In addition, if he can really complete these three tasks, he believes that the rewards behind these three tasks will not be too bad, at least higher than his own three mission rewards.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he fails to complete the task, with his strength, he is not afraid of any punishment from the inner court, but Lu Shenghua can't compare with him.
In that case, it is better to give the other party the opportunity to escape punishment, so that at least everyone can be safe.
...............Seeing Ji Dong's expression, especially when his newcomer guide had been put away by Ji Dong, Lu Shenghua didn't know what to say for a while, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Regarding the task of being snatched away by Ji Dong, Lu Shenghua really didn't know what to say.
If he could choose, he really wished he hadn't come to Ji Dong, but things had already happened, and it was obviously not something he could change if he wanted to.
Ji Dong has already said that he is dead, and at the moment, the only thing he can do is to complete all the simple tasks that Ji Dong gave him, and strive to get a reward, not be punished. If you can't even complete these three tasks, then Ji Dong's hard work will probably be in vain.
Of course, in the bottom of his heart, he was also secretly praying that Ji Dong could complete all the three tasks that should have belonged to him, so that his heart could still be somewhat comforted.
"Senior brother, you go and call everyone else over, everyone has a task right now, if there is a task that can help each other, it is better to act together."
After solving Lu Shenghua's matter, Ji Dong didn't seem to be affected, but he could still focus on the overall situation.
"Okay, I'll go and call Senior Sister Guan and Senior Brother Li." Hearing Ji Dong's order, Lu Shenghua didn't say a word, nodded at Ji Dong, and hurriedly went to find Guan Linlin and Duan Jianghe.
At this point, he was very happy with Ji Dong, after all, it was indeed too rare for a person to be able to reach an unattainable realm in terms of strength and morality.
"Hey, this is really a swollen face and a fat man..............."
When Lu Shenghua left, Ji Dong's face couldn't help but show a wry smile, and he couldn't help but shake his head and muttered to himself.
Of course, he is not as easy as it seems on the surface, speaking of which, Lu Shenghua's three tasks are really difficult, even if it is him, I don't know if he can complete it.
The first task was to bring back a skill above the platinum level for the inner courtyard and hand it over to Ling Zhan, the elder of the Gong Inheritance.
The second task is to find a wood attribute treasure that is not less than three thousand years old, and hand it over to Elder Mu Yi.
The third task is to find out what treasures will participate in the next auction of the Dan Array Sect of the Great Qin Dynasty, and report the results to Vice President Feng Wudi!
Three clear tasks, but each one can be described as extremely difficult.
Platinum level or above skills, the rarity of this thing naturally does not need to be said, he believes that looking at the entire Great Qin Dynasty, whether it is a family with platinum skills or a power, I am afraid that it can be counted on one hand.
When he was cultivating at Qindu University, the strongest skill he had ever come into contact with was a gold-level skill, and it was only a gold-level high-level, and he had never even seen a top-level skill. As for the platinum-level skills, I'm afraid they can only be in the hands of the Dean of Guan Yue!
It's just that the platinum skills of Qindu University, even if they exist, I am afraid that they have already been contributed to the Inner Court, and it is even very likely that the Holy Academy gave them to Qindu University, so even if he goes back to Guan Yue for help, I am afraid that the other party may not be able to help.
It is the Five Elements Technique that he cultivates by himself, which is definitely higher than the platinum level, but it is still impossible for him to hand over the Five Elements Formula, of course, the incomplete Five Elements Recipe may also be considered.
And more than 3,000 years of wood attribute treasures, this is probably also a big problem, after all, three thousand years of treasure is quite rare, as for more than 3,000 years of wood attribute treasures, he really doesn't know where to go.
And the last task is even more outrageous - to find out the bidding treasure of the next auction of the Dan Array Sect of the Great Qin Dynasty, this task seems to be very simple at first glance, but for him who knows some of the situation of the Dan Array Sect, he knows very well how terrible it will be to deal with the Dan Array Master.
Although he has always been very interested in the Dan Array Sect, until this moment, he still only knows a little about the Dan Array Sect, and he doesn't even know where the Dan Array Sect is.
