"You have just arrived on this herring fish island, and you have no way to practice at the beginning of your cultivation, you can't do things like demon hunting, spiritual cultivation, array protection, and crystal digging, so you can only pick some simple tasks, I took a look at the tabula rasa tasks recently issued by the sect, and three of them are more suitable for you. ”

Xu Xing stretched out his first finger and said, "The first one, feeding beasts." There are many fairy birds and spirit beasts in this sect, each of which has its own usefulness, and there are also some on this herring fish island, and such things are all under the control of the 'Spirit Beast Palace' in the sect, so this task is also issued by the Spirit Beast Palace. All you need is to take care of the spirit beasts on this herring island, feed them on time on weekdays, and don't be sloppy in washing, so it should be a little messy and hard, but it's inevitable. ”

Xu Xing stretched out his second finger and said, "The second piece, alchemy." Actually, it is said that it is alchemy, just because this matter is a task issued by the sect's 'Dantang', you now have no Taoism and no experience, of course, it is impossible for you to really go to alchemy, the task on the whiteboard is to let you go to the fight, take charge of the Dan furnace heat, and identify the medicinal materials and hand them over to the senior brothers and sisters of alchemy at any time, so the delay may be much longer than other tasks. ”

When the four teenagers heard this, they all frowned slightly, their faces were not easy and good-looking, although these tasks sounded simple, they were obviously not easy to do. Xu Xing looked at their expressions, smiled slightly, and continued, "The third piece, pick up shellfish." Every morning and evening, when the island is at low tide, there are five-colored shells on many beaches, which are the materials of some low-level magic circles in the 'Array Hall', but they are mostly hidden in the deep mud of the beach, and some are difficult to find. For every 200 shells, you can exchange for a spirit crystal. ”

He Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "So much to change a spirit crystal?"

Xu Xing said with a smile: "Exactly, the rules of the sect are like this, it is to temper the newcomer disciples in difficult circumstances, and naturally the tasks issued will not be particularly easy, these three are specially selected by me for you, and they are quite passable." As for the tasks on the green, red, and yellow boards in the future, the requirements are even more difficult, such as the spiritual cultivation and demon hunting I mentioned before, as well as talismans, diving into the sea, and digging crystals......"

Shen Shi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Hey, we still have the task of the talisman here?"

Xu Xing glanced at him and said, "How can I say it, these Five Elements Spells are indeed not as good as the various mainstream Dao magic powers that we will be cultivating in the future, but this kind of spells have been passed down for thousands of years, and sometimes they are still very useful." Especially for Qi Refining Realm cultivators, there are very few supernatural powers that can be cultivated because of the Dao Xing, so they often practice one or two Five Elements Techniques at this time as a method of self-defense. In this gate, there is a special 'magic hall', which is in charge of the five elements of magic, although the scale is not large, but it will also issue some tasks such as talismans, after all, these talismans are taken out to the outside of the big city city, and they are still very popular with some monks, especially those who are not high in Taoism, and they can also earn a lot of spirit crystals. ”

"I see. Shen Shi suddenly realized, but then he heard Xu Xing smile slightly, and said: "It's just that this way of the rune is notoriously complicated and difficult, not to mention the complexity and distortion of various runes of the five elements of yin and yang, and the rune array to be drawn on the rune paper on this basis is even more difficult, not to mention the difficulty of going through the last 'spirit injection', so that it can really be made into a talisman." Therefore, even if it is a rare and skilled talisman master, it is difficult to make a large number of various talismans, and there have always been very few disciples who do such tasks. ”

Shen Shi nodded slowly, Xu Xing saw that he didn't ask again, so he stopped talking, turned his head to Sun You and said: "That's all for a few tasks that I think are passable, you can think about it, of course, you can also go to the whiteboard to take a closer look, maybe there is something else suitable for you." However, after all, you are a rookie disciple, and the tasks you can do are basically on the whiteboard, and the green, red, yellow, and purple boards in the back are all difficult tasks, and you may need some time to do them. ”

Sun You nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Xu Xing smiled and said, "Okay, that's it for the time being, you guys go around first and get acquainted with it." At this point, he seemed to think of something again, hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking.

Sun You's eyes were sharp, and when he saw his uncle's appearance, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, uncle, is there anything else?"

Xu Xing thought for a while and said, "Actually, I thought of another thing just now, which is simpler, but ...... By the way, on the way over, did you see those red clam demons outside the herring fish market?"

The four of them all nodded, and He Xiaomei gestured with her hand and said, "It looks very strange, two big mussel shells grow on the body like that." ”

Xu Xing said with a smile: "These Red Mussel Clan people have lived under our Lingxiao Sect for many years, and after a long time, you will get used to it." What I just wanted to say is actually related to these red clam people, and it can be regarded as a task, but it is not written on this whiteboard on weekdays. ”

Sun You and the others were all curious, Sun You was the fastest, and was the first to say: "What, there is such a task, what is it?"

Xu Xing smiled and said: "This matter is actually what those people of the Red Mussel clan have hooked up when they see us asking the newcomer disciples to do all kinds of things here, their clan has lived by the sea since ancient times, and one of their favorite foods on weekdays is a kind of sea prawn called 'ghost shrimp', and there are many in the waters around Jinhong Mountain." It's just a ghost shrimp this kind of thing, it's not difficult to catch, when there is a fishing tide, just throw a fishing net, a catch is a big handful, but this thing shrimp shell is extremely hard, the knife and axe are difficult to open, only with a sharp blade from the belly shell between the cracks can barely peel off, take out the delicate shrimp meat. Xu Xing made a gesture with his hand and said,

"Although those red mussel people love to eat ghost face shrimp, but their nature is extremely clean, but if they want to eat this fresh and tender ghost face shrimp and shrimp meat, when they peel the shrimp shell, they will definitely make the whole body bloody and dirty, so it has always been regarded as a great drudgery by the red mussel people. After seeing the various tasks we had issued to the new disciples, they also did the same, saying that as long as someone helped them peel shrimp, they would also reward the spirit crystal. ”

"That's it......" Sun You and the others then understood, but Shen Shi was cautious, and quickly thought of another thing, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, uh...... What should I call ......?"

Xu Xing smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call me Uncle Xu when we meet in the future." ”

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, didn't you say that a demon clan like the Red Mussel Clan doesn't use spirit crystals on weekdays, and where did they get the spirit crystals to pay us." ”

Xu Xing said: "Oh, this is the case, our Jinhong Mountain Range is the first spiritual vein in the southeast, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is incomparably prosperous, and many spiritual crystals will be condensed every day, which is a well-known thing." This spiritual vein is usually buried deep in the depths of the spiritual mountain, but there are still very small residual veins scattered around the periphery, and some of them are deep into the seabed outside the islands. The Red Mussel people have excellent water properties, and they can dive into the extreme depths of the seabed without the help of any magic weapons and artifacts, so they can find a small amount of spirit crystals from the bottom of the sea from time to time on weekdays. Although they can't use it, since they know that our human race regards it as a treasure, they naturally collect it and use it to trade with us. ”

Jiang Hongguang hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice beside him: "Uncle Xu, how many ghost-faced shrimps do you have to kill, and the Red Mussel Clan will pay us?"

Xu Xing replied: "One hundred ghost shrimps, one spirit crystal." As he spoke, he stretched out his fourth finger and said with a smile, "So this is the fourth thing I told you, peeling shrimp." ”

※※※

Leaving from Xu Xing's side, the four of them stood in the White Crane Hall and discussed, the four tasks mentioned by Xu Xing just now did not sound difficult, they could all be done even if they had no Taoism at the moment, but they thought about it carefully one by one, all of them were dirty and tiring, then Jiang Hongguang and Shen Shi were fine, but Sun You and He Xiaomei were both from excellent family backgrounds, and where they had suffered this kind of hardship on weekdays, they didn't want to do it.

After discussing it for a while, they decided to come to the whiteboard together to see if there were any other more suitable tasks.

At this time, there were already many teenagers standing under the whiteboard, obviously under the rule of Ling Xiao Sect prohibiting everyone from carrying spirit crystals to get started, the top priority of these new beginner disciples has become to earn spirit crystals for cultivation, after all, in addition to the only spirit crystal given at the beginning, the spirit crystal Lingxiao Sect required for the follow-up seems to be clearly for everyone to earn by themselves.

The four of them stood in front of the whiteboard and looked at it carefully for a while, only to see that there were countless square white papers on the whiteboard, layered on top of each other, and many strange tasks were also there, but take a look here and there, no matter the difficulty or reward, it seems to be similar to the few things Xu Xing said before, and more is obviously more difficult to do than what he said.

Shen Shi looked at it for a while, and thought of the talisman that Xu Xing had just said. He has been drawing talismans for many years since he was a child, but he couldn't imagine that there was still a possibility of using them in the Lingxiao Sect, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and after looking at it for a while and didn't find a more suitable task, he paid attention to whether there was a task related to talismans on the whiteboard.

It's just that he has been looking here for a long time, and he has searched almost the entire whiteboard, but he can't even find the words of a talisman. Shen Shi frowned, it is said that Xu Xing is unlikely to lie to himself, after thinking for a while, his heart suddenly moved, he glanced around, only to see that no one noticed him, a few friends he had just met, Sun Youhe, Xiaomei, Jiang Hongguang and others were also on the other side of the whiteboard carefully looking at the whiteboard, he quietly walked around the whiteboard, gently and skillfully turned around, but walked behind the whiteboard.

Behind the whiteboard, there is a large wooden sign with a green color, which, according to Xu Xing's statement just now, should be called a green board. As was the case on the whiteboard, there were also a lot of notes pasted on the green board, but the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect in front of the green board had much less money than the whiteboard, and many of them were older disciples from the previous round of five-year period.

A few of them noticed that Shen Shi walked to the green board and cast some strange glances, but later everyone might have thought that Shen Shi was just one of those newcomer disciples who was very curious, so they ran over to see a fresh one, so they didn't pay too much attention, and turned their heads one by one, looking intently at the note on the wooden card.

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, so he searched for it on the green board, but this time it was unexpectedly smooth, when he saw the third white paper on the green board, he found that this was a task issued by the art hall, and the content was to draw a special rune array on the rune paper.

Making rune paper is not making a rune, which is exactly what Shen Shi wants, he has nothing to do at the moment, if he wants to make a rune, then the last pass of "injecting spirits" will not be able to pass, but if it is just to draw a rune array, with his own contact day and night in the past seven years, Shen Shi feels that he still has some confidence.

Just as he was happy, he looked down, but suddenly his brows furrowed, and a look of astonishment passed over his face, only to see that four big words were clearly written under the note:

Bring your own materials.
