Chapter 46: Mission
After the entrance ceremony, each new disciple of the Nuyuan Academy received a bronze identity plaque, the front of the bronze medal was engraved with each person's name and qualification rating, and the back was the words "Nuyuan".
With this bronze medal, each person can receive a different number of spirit stones in the Slave Courtyard Treasury Hall every month. A first-class spirit slave can receive twenty spirit stones per month, fifteen first-class spiritual stones, ten third-class spiritual slaves, and first-class plus one disciples like Du Xiaoqiu can receive thirty yuan. In addition, C-rank and B-rank spirit slaves need to complete a certain amount of chores every day, while first-class spirit slaves do not have this need and can spend the whole day cultivating.
Most of the spirit slaves who enter the Mu Slave Courtyard are already level 8/9 spirit masters, and most of them will successfully advance to the spirit master, and if they are promoted to the late stage of the spirit master, they can sign up for the second life change battle, and those who pass will get the resources to be promoted to spirit captain.
Hanshan Mu's set of slave training system of selecting the best people is really making the strong stronger and the weak weaker, which is in line with the natural law of survival of the fittest.
Wei Zhen broke up with Du Xiaoqiu and Wen Lan, walked to a group of wooden houses built around the mountain at the foot of the mountain, and quickly found the one that belonged to him according to the signs on the bronze plate.
The dwelling of the C-class spirit slave was very simple, a small wooden house made of ordinary logs, the size was only enough to accommodate three or two people, and there was nothing else in it except a bed and a straw futon.
Wei Zhen glanced at it, but he didn't care in his heart, this kind of condition was already much better than the mine slave hut he once lived in.
He hurriedly opened the pouch he had received, and it contained a total of five items: a map, a copy of the Rules of the Slave Academy, a copy of the Foundation of Military Warfare, a copy of the Spirit Control Technique, and ten spirit stones.
The map consists of two pages, the first of which briefly describes the topography of the entire Gora Realm and the various sects and vassals.
Compared with the Chidi Realm, the situation is very different, this realm is mostly where the second-level subject countries are located, but the number is nearly half less than that of the third-level subject countries.
Moreover, the topography of the Gola Realm is extremely peculiar, except for a few high mountains, which seem to be flat everywhere from the surface, but in fact, it is not, under its seemingly flat surface are countless karst caves, in the caves, there are steep peaks and hills, rivers and lakes, as well as grasslands and forests, as for the formation of this unique terrain, no one can explain.
The map on the second page depicts the Linhai Country, where the Nuyuan is located, but this Linhai Country does not belong exclusively to the Hanshan Mu family.
Linhai country, east of the sea, hundreds of miles away from the coast, towering five mountains, each mountain stretches for thousands of miles, the interval is not more than 100 miles, as if a natural green barrier separates the land and the sea.
The five mountains are named Qingyuan Mountain, Taimu Mountain, Qiyun Mountain, Cangyan Mountain, and Wanhua Mountain. The Hanshan Mu clan occupies one of the Cangyan Mountains, and the other four high mountains belong to the Agni Fire Sect, the Five Elements Sect, and the Da Xian Tian Sect, these three sects and the Mu clan of the Trap Island are all from the Cold Mountain Realm, and the power to occupy the last Wanhua Mountain, although it is not comparable to the four sects on the surface, it makes these four sects extremely fearful. How many disciples of this side of the force are, no one in the entire Xuanyou Continent is clear, it seems that they can be seen in every realm, but even if it is their most ordinary disciple, almost no one is willing to provoke, these people claim to be from the Phantom Sea-the people of the Silver Family.
There are many stone mansions in Cangyan Mountain, and two-thirds of the places on it are marked with bright red, which means that area is a forbidden area that cannot be set foot on, and two small block letters "Hina Mansion" are marked on it, which is the area where the disciples of the spirit master level of the Mu clan cultivate.
As for why the Hanshan Mu clan left a group of relatives to practice here, until they were about to break through the spirit captain, they were not allowed to return to their own clan, and the practices of the various forces in the upper realm were also the same, and they chose the majestic mountain range to occupy it exclusively in various parts of the Gouluo realm, it is rumored that it is because the terrain of the Gouluo realm is peculiar, and in the vast underground world, there are extremely extraordinary opportunities, if someone can get these opportunities, the future spiritual path will have unlimited potential, as for what this opportunity is, and what kind of benefits it will bring to the person who obtains it, all the forces are secret, and it is like a tacit understandingγ
The remaining third of Cangyan Mountain is gray in color, and the word "slave courtyard" is simply marked. The map also paints the other four occupations and the depths of the sea in black, as a "danger zone".
After carefully reading the two pages of the map, Wei Zhen then picked up the "Slave Yuan Rules", and on the first page, five prohibitions were listed in dazzling red and large characters:
"First, step into the land of 'Hinata' without permission and die. β
"Second, those who are good at fighting with the people of the 'Hina House' will die. β
"Third, those who steal the skills of 'Hinata' will die. β
"Fourth, those who injure and kill the people of the 'Hina Mansion' will die, and they will be connected to their clan. β
"Fifth, those who kill the disciples of this academy without permission will die. β
The five prohibitions, four of which are related to the "Hina House", the strict hierarchy between master and servant, are not really reflected in the shade until here.
After this first page, the various quests and their corresponding rewards are introduced, and the value of each quest item and the purpose of the reward item are explained in detail. For example, the first article states: "Those who turn in ten seawoods or red-scaled trees can be rewarded with five spirit stones or the primary spirit skill "Spiritual Qi Bomb". β
Seacedar, which grows on the seabed, is more than 20 meters underwater, contains water aura, can be made into wooden tools, and is very popular in small and medium-sized suzerains.
Red-scaled wood, which grows near the volcanic mountains of the underground world, is hard wood, and the finished product is rich and atmospheric, and is also deeply loved by small and medium-sized suzerains.
The introduction of the reward item "Aura Bomb" is relatively brief - "a beginner spiritual skill that can condense the spiritual power in the body at the fingertips and send it out instantly".
The last part of the academy rules is about the examination and evaluation results of the disciples of the slave academy every year.
Wei Zhen threw away the "Rules of the Slave Courtyard" and directly opened the book "Spirit Control Formula", and the content in it immediately attracted his attention.
"Soul Control Technique" is still a low-level cultivation method, but it is very practical, teaching the spirit master various precautions when opening the first main vein in the body, as well as some skills and tips on how to control the spiritual energy after breaking through the spirit master to transform more spiritual power and the use of spiritual skills. As for the method of improving mental power, it is not mentioned in the book.
Seeing this, Wei Zhen suddenly felt a little disappointed, his mental power has always been his shortcoming, but he can't improve quickly.
In fact, the time he has stepped into the spiritual path is still short, and his understanding of the spiritual world is superficial, and he does not know that the spiritual cultivation method is the most rare, even in the Mu family, there are only one or two cultivation methods that can barely be listed as the top grade, and this kind of advanced method is naturally not a secret.
After the night passed, as soon as the sky was bright, Wei Zhen hurriedly cleaned up and rushed to a large hall at the foot of the mountain, which was called the "Sundries Hall", which was the place where the disciples of the C-class and B-class slave courtyards received their chores.
On duty in the hall was a person with a similar look to Wu Dayong, named Li Dangdao, who just glanced at Wei Zhen with slanted eyes, and asked casually, "New here?"
Wei Zhen replied honestly: "Yes, senior brother. β
"Oh. After Li Dangdao answered, his gaze stopped on the pouch on his waist for a few seconds, and then he stopped talking.
Wei Zhen didn't know what he meant, and after about ten breaths, Li Dangdao sighed, looking at Wei Zhen with a hint of sympathy.
"It's your daily chore!"
Wei Zhen unconsciously took the wooden sign he handed over and looked at it, which read, "Five hundred steps swept every day."
Cangyan Mountain has a total of 3,000 bluestone steps, and cleaning the stone steps is 500, which is obviously not an easy chore, not to mention the hardship, at least it takes up half a day's cultivation time.
Wei Zhen received the cleaning tools, thanked him, and hurriedly walked to the starting point of the stone steps designated by the other party.
It wasn't until he walked away that Li Dangdao looked at his back and sighed: "People are stupid and have poor qualifications, so they are destined to not become a big thing." β
If Wei Zhen was willing to take out five spirit stones to bribe him, the chores he would get would be much easier than cleaning the stone steps, but he didn't know that Wei Zhen was from the Fire Dark Mine, and cleaning was obviously several times easier than mining and transporting minerals.
Besides, when Wei Zhen first entered the slave courtyard, where did he know the small doorway here, he took care of himself all the way and buried himself in cleaning, and when the five hundred stone steps were cleaned, he was only sweating a little.
At this time, Du Xiaoqiu walked down from the stone steps above.
"So you're really here, and that guy from the Miscellaneous Hall didn't lie to me. He said, obviously looking for Wei Zhen's residence and no one was found, so he found here.
"Well, that's the chores assigned to me. Wei Zhen said sincerely. "It's much better than mining in a mine. β
"Phew, that guy is not a good person, the dog looks down on people. Du Xiaoqiu scolded in his mouth, and without waiting for Wei Zhen to ask, he explained: "Cleaning the stone steps is the worst sundries, he just gave it to you, you didn't give him the spirit stone, right?"
Out of nowhere, he inquired very clearly.
"Hmm. Wei Zhen nodded and said indifferently.
"You were so shrewd when you killed people in Wild Bear Gully, why were you so stupid at this time?" Du Xiaoqiu shook his head heavily, "Forget it, don't talk about it." We went to collect mahogany, and by the way, we got acquainted with the familiar ground. β
Although Du Xiaoqiu was born in a small family of declining spiritual cultivators, his experience in life was obviously much richer than Wei Zhen.
Wei Zhen delivered the task, and the two of them went straight down the long bluestone steps, and soon entered the mountain forest, following the map marked by the slave courtyard, all the way to the place where the mahogany grows.
"Have you seen Wen Lan?" Wei Zhen asked suddenly. Although he didn't see the results of Wen Lan's qualification test, since he didn't live in a group of wooden houses like himself, he was naturally better than him.
"I don't like the guy who doesn't look like a man. Du Xiaoqiu looked back and saw Wei Zhen a little displeased, then pouted and smiled: "He is not with me either, you will naturally see him in the future." β
Wei Zhen heard that he wanted to sell Guanzi, but he didn't continue to ask.
As he spoke, Du Xiaoqiu jumped towards the entrance of a cave first, and Wei Zhen hurriedly jumped down.
