Chapter 21: The Patrol Hall
Five days later, this year's pine forest guarding task was successfully completed, and Yu Xiao came to Luoxia Peak Dantang, handed over the chores token, and received his own 200 merit points.
Coupled with the rewards he received from the previous small test, he already had nine hundred and eighty merits, as well as seventy Qi Extraction Pills, and there was no shortage of pills in a short period of time.
He didn't plan to use up these merit points first, after all, he still had more than four hundred ready-made spirit stones on hand, and his family property was quite rich, so if he lacked pills, he could buy them directly.
Keeping merit points is actually very useful, you must know that some of the more powerful exercises and cultivation methods in the sect require a large number of merit points to be exchanged.
Although he has already cultivated the "Seventy-two Chapters of Taiyin" at the moment, it is difficult to be distracted to practice other exercises, but no one dares to guarantee that he will not be able to use it in the future, so he will save up for safety first.
There is one more important thing to do, and that is to find a good place for him to spend the next year.
Because of this small test, some of the registered disciples were lost, so the task rotation could not be implemented, so each hall changed the rotation system to an independent choice.
In this way, Yu Xiao has a chance to choose chores again, don't underestimate this opportunity, the doorway inside is big.
Luoxia Peak has four departments: Dan Hall, Fu Instrument Hall, Lingzhi Hall, and Patrol Hall, and most of the registered disciples rotate the tasks of the sect under these four departments, and each hall is independent of each other, and each is in charge of a part of Luoxia Peak's affairs.
Of course, based on the name, it can also be guessed that Dantang is naturally more inclined to alchemy affairs, but in fact, it is not absolute, and sometimes there will be completely unrelated affairs.
And the boundaries between the four halls are not completely clear, most of the time there is a certain overlap and repetition, which is actually not a big problem.
In the past, Yu Xiao chose to carry out various sect tasks under the Dantang, just thinking that this would make it easier to buy cheaper and high-quality pills, but in fact, there was no related connection between the two.
Whether you can buy pills or not, whether you can buy good pills, only depends on whether you have spirit stones and how many spirit stones you have.
The year before, Fu Rongjing, a disciple on duty in the Dantang Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, united with the disciple surnamed Jia to put on small shoes for him, and he still remembered a big loss, this year he naturally couldn't stay in the Dantang stupidly, and decisively chose the other three halls.
Although this kind of thing is also common in the other three halls, and it will even happen again, at least after changing places, he will not be allowed to see Fu Rongjing's ugly face again, and he will be somewhat more comfortable.
Yu Xiao's requirements for the task of the sect are very simple, there is only one condition, that is, to free up a lot of leisure time as much as possible, and there are many places that can meet his needs, but with his strength and status, he may not be able to win it.
After thinking for a while, he finally had a more ideal place to go, and then went straight to the patrol hall.
There are not many disciples who come to the patrol hall to seek the tasks of the sect, mainly most of the tasks of the patrol hall, there is no way to use power for personal gain, to put it simply, there is no oil and water, unlike the other three halls, if you get a fragrant position, you can get a lot of benefits.
Most of the tasks of patrolling the hall are relatively fixed, and they will not come into contact with any cultivation resources, like any mountain guarding disciples and mountain patrol disciples, and they may not be able to see any living people in a year.
Yu Xiao's goal is to guard the mountain disciples.
As the place where the mountain gate of the Fuguang Sect is located, the Chiyuan Mountain Range is more than 1,000 miles from east to west, and the span from north to south is not less than 1,000 miles away, so it can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated.
It is obviously unrealistic to build a huge formation enchantment to protect the entire Chiyuan Mountain Range, and the five peaks are all relatively scattered, and the area where people are more concentrated is just that.
Most of the rest of the places are deep mountains and old forests, and if left unchecked, some powerful demon beasts will usually breed, or people from outside the sect will mix in and disturb the order of the Fuguang Sect.
Therefore, the Chiyuan Mountain Range is divided into five areas according to the distribution of the five peaks, and the disciples of the five peaks are patrolling and guarding.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the safety and stability of the sect, and in addition, it can also manage all areas of the Chiyuan Mountain Range more effectively, which is convenient for governance.
The so-called disciple of guarding the mountain, that is, the security guard at the head of the mountain, designates an area for you, you stay here for a year, go around casually when you have nothing to do, and report to the patrol hall in case of any emergency, compared to guarding the pine forest, it is more than one grade easier.
Judging from the experience of so many years, people who become disciples of the mountain guard basically don't have to do anything for a year.
No matter what, this is also the place where the mountain gate of the Fuguang Sect is located, and very few people who are not open-eyed will come here to make trouble, and the only problem that the disciples of the mountain guard have to deal with is the demon beasts that grow and grow in the mountains and wilderness.
Normally, when encountering a weak demon beast, you can ignore it, and when you encounter a strong one, you can directly report it to the patrol hall shake people, and there are disciples of the patrol hall to deal with the demon beasts.
In this way, three hundred merits can be obtained in one year, which is very suitable for registered disciples who have no pursuits and wait for death, or those who have reached the sixth level of Qi refining and are about to be promoted to a disciple.
The deacon disciple of the Patrol Hall Miscellaneous Hall is a senior sister with a cold face, Yu Xiao handed over the identity token, and explained his intention: "Senior brother wants to be a disciple of the mountain guard, and I also ask the senior sister for advice." ”
Hearing this, the disciple slowly raised his head, glanced at Yu Xiao, and saw that he was very faceless, thinking that it was the first time he came to the patrol hall to take over the task of the sect, and he knew how to be polite, so he kindly pointed out: "This junior brother, the disciple of guarding the mountain is not a good task, the process is very boring, not to mention, there are only three hundred merit points in the next year, it may not be suitable for you."
You came early, I still have a lot of good tasks here, such as the Ming Wei of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the patrol disciples of the Chaoxi Palace, and the disciples of the Qingyun Cliff Command, these are much more interesting than the disciples of guarding the mountain, and the merit points of the reward are more, do you want to take a look. ”
Yu Xiao's cultivation is only at the fourth level of Qi refining, and he is obviously not the kind of disciple who is about to be promoted to the room and needs a lot of time to retreat and cultivate, and he came to the Patrol Hall to receive the task of guarding the mountain disciple, which will naturally be considered the first situation.
To be honest, after so many years of taking turns in Luoxia Peak, it was the first time for Yu Xiao to see the deacon disciples of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall so 'fair and friendly', and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.
In fact, he didn't know that after this small test, the registered disciples who could survive were already considered old men of the sect, and before the next small test came, most of them could improve their cultivation by one or two levels, so that the probability of surviving in the second small test was greater.
Don't look at Yu Xiao now that he only has the fourth layer of qi refining, maybe before the next small test, he will be able to break through to the sixth layer of qi refining.
The deacon disciples of the Patrol Hall Miscellaneous Hall are also from the past, so they naturally know which registered disciples have more potential, plus there are too many vacancies in the miscellaneous tasks of Luoxia Peak now, first come, first served, by the way, some registered disciples are good friends, this is a normal thing.
Yu Xiao had only experienced a small test of a named disciple, so he naturally didn't know the doorway.
What he was thinking about in his heart was his own cultivation plan, so he replied: "Well, thank you for your kindness, my junior brother's cultivation is still shallow, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle these positions, so I ...... It's better to serve as a disciple of the mountain guard first, polish your mana, and wait for some improvement in the future, it's not too late to try again. ”
Hearing this, the disciple looked at Yu Xiao a little strangely, frowning slightly and looking a little surprised, thinking that she had never seen such a wooden disciple, she didn't want to put a good position, but she went to be a disciple of the mountain guard, it was simply evil.
"I said that your junior brother is really interesting, even if you want to polish your mana and refine your cultivation, you also need pills, you have just experienced a small test now, it is a good time to work hard and forge ahead, don't learn from those disciples who don't want to make progress." The disciple persuaded again.
These words made Yu Xiao cry and laugh, he didn't think about it, and it was not easy to explain it in his heart, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Senior sister's kindness and junior brother have understood it, but the junior brother has made up his mind, so he decided to start with the disciple of the mountain guard." ”
