Chapter 5 Finding a New Way
Early the next morning, Shan Xiaoya found Yuwen Palace and terminated the contract with the Taoist Priest Union. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon after, she went to Ginkgo Village with the Taoist disciples who had gone out to procure. After all, there is the largest human stronghold in the entire Ginkgo Valley, even magical trinkets, potions, etc. are sold, and there is no shortage of ordinary tavern tailors, so it is not difficult to find a job that can support yourself.
It was probably Shen Xia who had helped her in cultivation, and he was one of the few people Shan Xiaoya visited before leaving.
In addition to thanking him, he also invited him to come to Ginkgo Village to play in the future when he was free.
In this regard, Shen Xia had no choice but to agree.
Although the area of the Taoist temple is not small, it is said to be large, but it is definitely not large. The news of Shan Xiaoya's withdrawal once again caused an earthquake in a corner of the traverser group. It can be expected that as the arduous and monotonous cultivation continues, there will definitely be more people who will not be able to hold back and give up this opportunity.
Shen Xia was not one of those who gave up.
Becoming an ordinary person, it seems that there is no need to cultivate hard, take on such and such responsibilities, and even close the mysterious system in your head, which is equivalent to picking up a life in vain after crossing over, but it also means that you no longer have the ability to protect yourself. There is no so-called benevolence and justice in the Marfa Continent, and there is no demon spirit that will come at the moment.
Shan Xiaoya's retreat not only did not shake Shen Xia's determination, but made him more and more convinced: if he continued to cultivate step by step like this, it would be impossible for him to complete the transfer within 100 days, let alone close the gap with Jiang Wenshan.
If you want to catch up or even overtake in a corner, you have to find another way.
Since the time is too late, and the talent and the method of forging the body are also fixed, then we can only find a way to work resources. The effect of the Deer Blood Pill is beyond doubt for a traverser who has not changed jobs. As long as he finds a way to get a few more, with his hard work and nearly a month's time, he still has a chance to forge his body in 100 days.
So, how do you get more Deer Blood Pills?
For now, the Taoist Academy only distributes one pill per week to the Taoists for free. If you want to get additional resources, you have to work yourself to accumulate contributions from the Academy. As mentioned earlier, due to the large number of travelers, the aborigines of the temple were seriously understaffed, so the idea of recruiting people from the mysterious "outsiders" was born.
Outside the main entrance of the dojo, a wooden board was erected, on which tasks were periodically distributed with charcoal.
Simpler, there are going to the forest farm to cut trees, cleaning the Taoist yard, going to the nearby spiritual spring to fetch water, and so on. These jobs are not very demanding on the individual, and are basically boring manual labor. If you are busy for a week in a row, you can get 1 contribution.
As for the more dangerous, but relatively high-paying, you can go out hunting, gather herbs, or even go into battle to help the only pharmacist in the Taoist courtyard test the medicine. Compared with low-level tasks with 1 contribution per week, these high-risk tasks often contribute 3-5 points, and the efficiency is not much higher than the former.
Of course, the premise is that there must be that life flower!
By the way, let's talk about the exchange price code issued by the Taoist Academy, in addition to some basic sundries and wound medicines, a deer blood pill 5 contributions. On top of the Deer Blood Pill, there is also a blood qi dispersion with a better effect. It is said that a pair of medicines can last for three days, and the effect is several times that of the deer blood pill. Even the price of the exchange is also amazingly high, and a pair of blood and qi is enough to contribute twenty contributions!
In other words, if you exclude tasks that are too risky, if you just go out to cut wood or do work, you have to be busy for 20 weeks in a row, a full four or five months, in exchange for a pair of blood and qi.
This efficiency is too low!
What's more, low-level tasks have extremely high physical requirements. If you keep doing it, your daily training will inevitably be affected.
This creates a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile.
To do the contribution task, in order to exchange for the Deer Blood Pill and the Blood Qi Dispersion to speed up the cultivation. However, in the process of doing tasks, the complicated physical work in turn affects the normal training on weekdays.
In this way, the significance of exchanging the pill is greatly reduced.
Even if you take a step back, there are traversers who can work and train at the same time, or several people work together to take on a task and get an equal share of contributions, and you must be able to grab the contribution task of the Taoist Academy!
You must know that the number of tasks issued by the Taoist Academy on a regular basis is limited, and there are a lot of people waiting to take on the tasks, but the number of traversers is still increasing.
Shen Xia, who entered the Daoist Academy relatively late, what did they do to fight with the first few batches of people who came?
If they can do it, they won't be suppressed by a Jiang Wenshan.
As for the pharmacists of the Taoist Academy, this kind of work is ...... There really is no one who dares to take it. If it's a test of a new configuration of wound medicine, it's okay, at most it's a knife to bleed, what if someone else is equipped with poison?
After all, there was a Taoist priest in the Daoist Academy who had probably mastered the art of poisoning!
It is obviously impossible to meddle in the contribution of the monopolized Taoist Academy. Of course, Shen Xia can also try to be like Jiang Wenshan, and grab other people's resources by force.
The problem is back to square one.
First of all, his force value is not enough, and secondly, Shen Xia is not willing to do such a black thing. If you walk more at night, you will see hell sooner or later, like Jiang Wenshan and others, one day they will fall into a situation where they are surrounded by enemies and are shot by people.
So, apart from the above methods, is there really no other way to obtain additional resources?
The answer, of course, is: no!
In the shadows of the hidden temple, there is indeed a hidden way.
Night Hunting!
………
Night hunting, as the name suggests, is to leave the shelter of the monastery at night to hunt nearby.
Because of the abundant spiritual energy, the spiritual land where the Taoist Temple is located has a strong attraction to the surrounding beasts with a certain amount of spiritual intelligence. You don't have to run too far, just leave the shelter of the dojo and run out for a quarter of an hour, and you can encounter deer, wolves and even bobcats everywhere in the Ginkgo Valley, and occasionally encounter classic monsters from the Legend such as demonized scarecrows, nail rake cats, and multi-hooked cats.
Although the guards outside the temple will be cleaned up regularly, there are always new fish that have slipped through the net.
With the strength of the traversers before they were transferred, there was no way to fight those demonized monsters at all, and they just gave their lives in vain. Only those relatively ordinary beasts are the targets they can barely target. Rao is like this, every time a person goes out for a night hunt, there is still a high chance that something unexpected will happen and he will never return.
It is precisely because of the extremely high risk that many people know this way, but few dare to take risks.
Some people may be surprised that the law of killing on the traversers cannot take effect until they are transferred. Even if you go out for night hunting, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the improvement of strength.
It seems to be true, but in fact, there is another mystery in it.
Shen Xia had heard people talk about night hunting before, but he only knew a general idea, and the specific matters were not clear. With his mind made up, after the routine cultivation was over, he secretly found the Brotherhood in the Dao Academy.
Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
This sentence is not only suitable in martial arts novels, but also in the Marfa continent.
Although in the Taoist Academy, the status of the traversers who have not been transferred is at the bottom and is suppressed by the aborigines to the maximum, but as the number of traversers increases one after another, nearly a thousand people, it is inevitable that there will be a division of forces. The brotherhood that Shen Xia joined was one of as many as a dozen forces. At present, the scale is not bad, and thirty or forty people have been recruited.
Since they don't have the Walmart horn in the game, they can't create a real guild, and they have no name for guilds, but in fact they are just an extremely loose force. Just like when Shen Xia was suppressed by Jiang Wenshan, the Brotherhood couldn't help much—of course, this had something to do with Jiang Wenshan's involvement in a force as well.
However, in the long run, participating in such a force will still be of great benefit to the exchange and exchange of information between the traversers.
