Chapter 13: Assignment
After diligent cultivation every day, Ye Chen's most proficient spell now is the primer technique.
Whether it is manipulating various tools when making spiritual liquid, or digging spiritual grass in the spiritual field, it can be said that he is more dexterous than his own hands.
After some operation, there was no damage to the rhizomes of several Ascension Grasses.
Finally, after a closer inspection, he found that the quality of these Ascending Spiritual Grasses was indeed as he expected, they were all "inferior", and they were no different from the Ascending Spiritual Grasses planted by other monks circulating in the outer gate.
It is considered a "legal" item that can be taken out.
Not counting the twenty plants to be submitted, the remaining eighty or so Spirit Ascending Grasses, Ye Chen thought that it was useless to keep them, and planned to wait until there was an opportunity to trade them in the future before selling them.
Not to mention anything else, in exchange for more than a hundred spirit stones, it was a huge wealth for him.
……
The outer gate of the Qingyun Sect has always been a popular saying.
That is, the inner gate is the real disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and these outer sects are just inferior products that are accepted into the sect to serve as servants to the inner disciples.
This sentence is very self-deprecating, but it very accurately cuts into a fact of the Qingyun Sect.
That is the status gap between the outer disciples and the inner disciples, which is very significant!
It is said that the inner gate is either a child of a big family or a disciple with extremely good qualifications, while the outer gate is just a remnant of the inner door, and the leaders in the outer door may not be comparable to the ordinary disciples of the inner gate.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a difference between nobles and commoners.
There are more than 10,000 people in the outer gate, and the inner gate is only worth more than 1,000 people, everyone is a qi refining cultivator, but the top area of Luoyan Mountain, where the spiritual energy is the most abundant, is the territory of these hundreds of inner disciples!
If Ye Chen and the other outer disciples didn't have permission, they wouldn't even be able to go up, and they would be punished if they were discovered.
The favoritism of the sect is very obvious.
And the odds of building a foundation for outer disciples are too low—after a lifetime of poverty, they don't even have a one-tenth chance.
However, the inner disciples can have almost one-third of the disciples who can successfully build a foundation!
The gap is so obvious that it is almost impossible to ignore.
In Ye Chen's opinion, both Qi refining cultivators, there will be such a polarization between the inner and outer doors, in addition to the unavoidable gap between qualifications and family backgrounds, the deliberate exploitation and targeting of the inner door and the outer door is also one of the important reasons.
For example, handing over the power to assign tasks to the inner disciples is an extremely unreasonable move.
Don't you see the dozens of disciples who are at the bottom of their qualifications in this issue, aren't all of them the tasks of planting the Ascension Grass?
Except for a few lucky or unscrupulous people, these disciples were basically unable to complete their tasks, and in the end they could only wait for the end of the ration halved.
They may have to grind for half a year or two in this miserable situation before they can complete their tasks normally and receive the treatment of true disciples.
The golden time of cultivating immortals and even a lifetime was so wasted, and the subsequent development can be imagined......
……
At the beginning of December, the Contribution Hall.
Ye Chen walked in with a storage bag containing twenty Ascending Spirit Grasses, and when he casually found a counter, he unexpectedly found that the one inside was actually the inner disciple who had assigned him the task at the beginning.
The other party obviously forgot who he was, and still spoke in a calm and cold tone.
"Name, identity token."
Ye Chen still handed over the token as he did at the beginning.
"I'm here to hand in the sect's mission."
"New disciple?"
The inner disciple glanced at him again, and his tone was slightly surprised, "The second layer of qi refining is close to the third layer of qi refining?" With your qualifications, you shouldn't stay outside the door......"
At this time, it has only been four months since the last batch of disciples entered the sect, and being able to cultivate to this level of cultivation can already be regarded as having excellent qualifications.
If you don't rely on external forces, these qualifications can enter the inner door 100% when you enter the sect screening.
"The elders in the family gave me some pills, and when I first entered the first layer of qi refining, I ranked more than three hundred."
Ye Chen had already prepared for this, and calmly lifted the storage bag in his hand.
"No, my sect's task is to plant the Ascension Grass......"
"I see." The inner disciple nodded thoughtfully, stopped looking at him, took the storage bag and began to count.
"Twenty plants...... Yes, the aura is good, and there is no damage to the root system of branches and leaves...... You're of good quality, huh? ”
Ye Chen said "Where is the award" on his face, but he sneered in his heart.
From the day he came to this contribution hall, he was very wary of this place.
What is enough to contribute and find ways to find faults...... It's a mess, and he hasn't heard a lot of other foreign brothers complain about these things in the Contribution Hall.
"Okay, then even if you pass the sect mission this time, you will be rewarded with twenty points of contribution."
For some reason, the white-robed disciple seemed to have given up the difficulty, and finally settled the account for Ye Chen happily.
"You have a month's rest, don't forget to come back to the Contribution Hall next month to get a new mission." After speaking, he also glanced at Ye Chen deeply.
"Okay, brother."
Ye Chen's heart froze, he took the token, and left here without looking back.
This sect task has finally been completed, which means that for at least a month, he can be said to have no need to worry about these bullshit sect tasks.
I don't know if it's his delusion, he always feels that this inner disciple has not completely forgotten who he is, at least, he must have left a certain impression on the other party after this time.
It seems that he still has to find a suitable way to explain his cultivation progress, otherwise if he attracts the attention of someone with a heart, it will definitely be a big trouble for him.
At the very least, if you come to this contribution hall again in the future, you have to pay attention to it anyway, and you can't find this person today.
As for how to explain the progress of his cultivation, the best way Ye Chen could think of was to join the Wai Dan Hall.
As long as he joins the Waidantang, many of his problems will be solved.
Tomorrow is the day of the assessment of the Wai Dan Hall, if he is lucky enough to pass the assessment, then it means that in the future, the tasks of the sect will be arranged by the Wai Dan Hall, and there is no need to worry about the risk of problems here.
And there is a reason for the rapid progress of cultivation - they are all alchemists, isn't it normal to refine some pills for yourself to eat?
But the premise of all this is that tomorrow's assessment can be passed......
If not, he won't be able to cultivate as wantonly as he is now, otherwise, an outer disciple with average qualifications will cultivate quickly in the early stage of qi refining, but if he performs as well as he does in the future, it will be difficult not to attract the attention of others.
For tomorrow's assessment, Ye Chen is actually very uncertain.
He had done his best, but he still felt that he was not fully prepared compared to some people—the gap in his family background was a chasm in the current Qi refining period.
But in any case, just do your best.
Ye Chen has his own confidence, even if he can't do anything in the end, he still has the way to betray the sect.
Just find an opportunity to go down the mountain, and the whereabouts of a small outer disciple in the Qi refining period will not really be noticed by a few people.
