Chapter 2 Lower Spiritual Root
However, all the immortal cultivators of Taibai Academy must complete the tasks of Taibai Academy on a regular basis.
These tasks are the equivalent of homework in schools on Earth.
The tasks are very complicated, including fishing for spirit fish, planting spirit rice, cultivating spirit beasts, and so on.
Even Xiao Yueying, the proud daughter of a big family, is no exception.
However, as the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures.
For immortal cultivators of a big family like Xiao Yueying, the most precious thing is time, and they naturally won't waste time on these tedious little tasks.
As a result, almost every family immortal cultivator would bring some slaves in after entering the academy.
In addition to taking care of their daily lives, some of these slaves are entrusted with these tasks.
Unlike cultivating spiritual rice, this fishing spirit fish not only requires a certain amount of skill, but also requires an immortal cultivator, and a certain amount of mana must be born in the body.
Therefore, the slaves who are responsible for fishing for spirit fish will generally be given a simple immortal cultivation method, and after cultivating a trace of mana, they will go to the 800-mile Erhai Sea to fish for spirit fish.
The Xiao family had always been Zhao Bin in charge of fishing for spirit fish before.
Zhou You can remember that since this guy got this task, his status among these slaves of the Xiao family has risen, and he walks like he walks with his head, and everyone has to slap him.
If you practice the Immortal Cultivation Technique, it means soaring into the sky.
Although he is still a member of the Xiao family, his status is far from being comparable to that of ordinary families.
And now that Zhao Bin has disappeared for no reason, isn't it just an opportunity?
As long as you can get this task, you can get the immortal cultivation technique by traveling around, even the lowest level of the exercise, it is also a good starting point!
"Zhao Bin is missing? That's a bit troublesome, after all, the task of fishing for spirit fish is not big, and it can't be ignored if it's small, and it's overkill to use the immortals in the family. ”
Zhou You said that it was difficult.
Xiaoqing sighed: "Yes, it's quite troublesome, don't talk about Brother You, I have to go and watch Miss first!" ”
After speaking, Xiaoqing turned around and entered the inner courtyard.
After watching Xiaoqing leave, he quickly returned to his own hut.
Soon after, he traveled through boxes and cabinets and scraped together eight taels of silver.
That's pretty much all his savings over the years!
Looking at these silvers, he was reluctant, this was originally used by him in exchange for martial arts secrets, but now that the immortal cultivation method is in front of him, Zhou You must choose to fight!
……
At noon, the inner courtyard was quiet, thinking that the eldest lady had finished venting her anger.
Wandering around the outer courtyard waited.
He knew very well that the reason why Xiaoqing was willing to say this to himself was nothing more than to convey a message.
The task of fishing for spirit fish requires a new selection.
And all the family members who followed Xiao Yueying had this opportunity.
Hinting that traveling around can also be competitive!
Xiaoqing can't say this kind of thing openly, but can only hint at traveling.
Of course, Zhou You understands it, so he will come here with silver.
Soon after, he met Xiaoqing and directly expressed his intentions.
Xiaoqing smiled like a flower, and symbolically took a tael of silver: "Brother You, you have helped me a lot over the years, I can mention this matter to Miss, whether you can succeed in the end depends on yourself." ”
Of course, Zhou You understands and is very grateful to Xiaoqing.
After all, he only received one or two pieces of silver, which meant nothing.
What Xiaoqing can do is only introduction, and it can't play a decisive role.
In the end, it still has to be tested, and if there is no spiritual root, it is useless to say anything.
Then Xiaoqing asked Zhou You to go back and wait for Xin'er, which should be the matter of these two days.
Really.
In the afternoon, Xiaoqing came over to inform Zhou You to wait in the outer courtyard.
Zhou You suppressed the excitement in his heart, and when he came to the outer courtyard, he found that there were already a few skilled family members waiting.
Everyone didn't speak, after all, it was a competitive relationship, and it was good if they didn't look at each other.
Not long after, Xiaoqing came to everyone with a few yellow talismans.
"This is a spirit talisman, and it can be put on your forehead to determine whether you have a spiritual root, and choose the one with the best spiritual root."
Xiaoqing distributed the spirit talismans to Zhou You and the others one by one.
Zhou You was also a little nervous in his heart, and put the spirit talisman on his eyebrows.
He only felt a burning heat dissipate from his eyebrows, and soon the talisman emitted a faint green light.
Subsequently, the talisman turned into ashes and vanished.
Zhou You didn't know if he had a spiritual root, so he couldn't help but look at the others.
I saw that the spirit talisman on the forehead of the other person did not move, and there was no light at all.
Others were even more confused.
"Travel around the spirit root, take this thing, go to Erhai Lake, and hand in a hundred spirit fish every month, otherwise you will be disqualified and your cultivation will be abolished."
A cold girl's voice sounded in the courtyard.
Then, a green light quickly flew in front of Zhou You, slowly floating.
When I looked around, it was a bamboo slip.
"Brother You, congratulations!"
Xiaoqing said with a little excitement.
When those family members saw this scene, they were full of envy, but they had to quickly say "congratulations" to Zhou You.
Zhou You was recognized by the eldest lady and got the task of fishing for spirit fish, so after Zhou You was among their families, it could be regarded as a steady progress!
There is even a chance to be promoted to a retainer in the future!
Although the retainer is still a member of the Xiao family, he is no longer a slave, and in addition to serving the Xiao family, he can gain greater freedom!
Zhou You took the bamboo slip and bowed respectfully to the inner courtyard: "Thank you Miss for your attention, the villain will definitely live up to expectations!" ”
There was no sound coming from the inner courtyard, and it was obvious that for Xiao Yueying, it didn't matter if Zhou You could complete the task or not.
If you can't finish it, it's a big deal to find another one.
After all, Zhou You is just a member of the Xiao family.
Then Zhou You responded to the congratulations of the others one by one, and then returned to the hut with some excitement.
After returning to the hut, Zhou You did not rush to check the bamboo slip, but took some silver money and went to the inner set of Taibai Academy to buy a roast chicken and rouge gouache.
Taibai Academy is the largest immortal cultivation college in Lincheng, and it is quite famous in the entire Nanzhou, with a vast territory, spanning thousands of miles, and there is an inner set every dozens of miles.
Whether it is a mortal or an immortal cultivator, you can purchase items in the inner set.
Since Xiaoqing is Xiao Yueying's personal maid, she usually has to wait near Xiao Yueying's boudoir and can't go out easily, so she will bring the roast chicken back when she travels.
After waiting for a while in the outer courtyard, he finally waited for Xiaoqing and handed the roast chicken and rouge to Xiaoqing.
"It's my favorite roast chicken! Brother You, you have a heart! ”
Xiaoqing took the oiled paper bag and smiled so much that her eyes were bent into crescents.
Zhou You smiled: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get this errand." ”
After greeting Xiaoqing for a while, Xiaoqing was a little reluctant to separate from Zhou You.
"Brother You, when you go to Erhai, remember to come back and see more."
Xiaoqing shouted.
Zhou You smiled and promised to come back often.
After returning to the house and packing up the salutes, he got up early in the morning on the second day of the trip, swept the outer courtyard, and then carried the fishing rod bought from the inner market and headed for Erhai Lake.
Erhai Lake is still dozens of miles away from the Purple Bamboo Forest, and the distance is not short for mortals, so you have to hurry up when you travel.
