While Gu Ming was resting, Gao Xiang on the other side also returned to the Sword Washing Hall with an extremely unclothed and embarrassed attitude.

It is said that blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and today's Gao Xiang must have gone out without looking at the yellow calendar.

No, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I ran into Shangguan Duanyun who was about to go out!

Gao Xiang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth on weekdays, is like a puppy who has done something wrong, and he doesn't dare to stand there with his head raised!

Shangguan Duanyun stared at Gao Xiang from top to bottom, and asked in a calm tone, "Say it!"

Gao Xiang was embarrassed and silent!

"Among the low-level disciples of the Sword Sect, there are only a few people who dare to do something with you, and even fewer can make you so embarrassed!

"No, it's not!"

"Huh, it's a disciple of the Qi Refining Period?"

“......”

"Hmph! You really go back the more you practice! Is it Lu Shaoyou?"

"No, it's not!"

"That's Xia Lang?"

"No, it's not!"

Gao Xiang's head began to sweat!

Shangguan Duanyun began to feel strange!

"It can't be Bai Susu, right?!"

“...... It's the bright moon!"

Gao Xiang found that Shangguan Duanyun's expression was not good, so he had to confess himself!

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Shangguan Duanyun thought he had heard it wrong!

"Ming, Mingyue!"

"Haha!

Shangguan Xuanyun laughed angrily, "You said that you were taught a lesson by an alchemist in the middle stage of qi refining?"

Gao Xiang reminded embarrassedly: "There are also Gu Ming and a female disciple of the Spirit Beast Hall, and ......"

"Enough!"

Shangguan Duanyun, who was bruised, interrupted him.

"What kind of thing is Gu Ming, and what is the female disciple of the Spirit Beast Hall?"

"Haha, what else do you want to say? Could it be that you still want to say that your brain has been arched by a pig! Aren't you ashamed enough?"

Gao Xiang was silent, he didn't dare to say that he was really arched by a pig, although the arch was not his brain but his waist!

No matter what, he didn't dare to say anything more, otherwise, with his understanding of Shangguan Duanyun, he would only have one end, and that was to be torn apart by hand!

Shangguan Duanyun's eyes were a little cold, and he said to Gao Xiang, "Do you know what will disappoint me?"

“...... Know, know!"

"Want to give it a try?"

“...... No, I don't want to!"

Shangguan Duanyun stared at Gao Xiang for a while, then sighed and said, "I don't want to see you recently, go to the Deacon Hall to apply for a mission to the Xiaoxuan Realm by yourself!"

After saying that, he didn't look at it, turned around and walked out of the main hall!

Gao Xiang was very depressed, but he could only obey Shangguan Duanyun's decision unconditionally!

Shangguan Duanyun walked out a few steps, half-turned his head and added: "Do you think I don't know about the fact that I recently found Chen Da and others to help you keep an eye on the outside of Keqing's courtyard?"

"Don't go to Gu Ming's trouble again, that's really a loss of identity!"

Even though Gao Xiang already had a hundred ways to deal with Gu Ming in his heart, he could only answer unwillingly now: "I know!"

Gao Xiang looked at the figure of Shangguan Duanyun leaving, and kept cursing in his heart, which made Gu Ming shiver in his sleep!

......

Gu Ming didn't sleep very well this night, even if he slept all day, he still felt like he had recovered when he woke up!

As a last resort, Gu Ming had to take some pills again and sit on the bed to breathe!

While adjusting his physical state, he carefully reviewed the events of the past few days, and still didn't understand how he provoked Gao Xiang!

Could it be that he is here to avenge Gou Desheng and Zhang Lang?

Forget it, don't think about it, headache!

It's still on Gou Desheng's head! Who called him a "man who carries the pot"!!

However, Gao Xiang's words when he left essentially hit Gu Ming's weakness, and also touched his opportunity to re-examine himself!

The second-grade spiritual root, in the early stage of qi refining, is an alchemist apprentice with a zero success rate, and has no family background.

Muma, can this setting be a little worse?

What about the good bloodline, peerless divine skills, and supreme grandmasters? Other traversers can easily "go to the moon for nine days and catch turtles in the four seas", why can they only be so hard to come to me?

Who have I offended?

Just as Gu Ming raised his middle finger to the sky, a cloud suddenly shrouded outside the house, and a lightning bolt swept across the sky without warning.

Gu Ming instantly confessed.

Count you ruthless!

In the final analysis, in essence, from any angle and in any aspect, Gu Ming is still a garbage struggling at the bottom!

At present, the only thing you can rely on is the alchemy system brought over by the crossing, right?!

Nima, I can't even afford to continue alchemy at the moment!

If you can't use the golden finger, who else can have me!

Gu Ming's heart was broken!

But suddenly he realized a problem, it seemed that in addition to the alchemist apprentice, he also had a life occupation!

Little Mountain Seeker!

Gu Ming's eyes lit up, as if this newly acquired "life skill" could earn a little money!

The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!

It's really an endless road, he can't help but sigh!

Ming'er, go to the deacon hall to see if there is a suitable task, and earn some extra money to solve the urgent need first!!

The deacon's hall is a comprehensive and coordinated hall for the Mochizuki Sword Sect.

To put it simply, except for the full-time halls such as the Discipline Academy, the Four Great Sword Hall, the Pill Hall, the Spirit Beast Hall, and so on, all other affairs that are not directly related to cultivation are under the control of the Deacon Hall.

Therefore, the deacon hall is nicknamed "miscellaneous hall" by the disciples!

When Gu Ming came to the deacon hall to explain his intention to the deacon on duty, the deacon surnamed Dong took him to the next room with a straight face, and arranged for another middle-aged deacon to provide Gu Ming with the information he needed!

Later, this middle-aged deacon was quite kind, and patiently explained the tasks and exchange system of the Mochizuki Sword Sect to Gu Ming!

The Mochizuki Sword Sect's sect quests are divided into three categories:

The first type is regular tasks: this kind of task is generally issued by the sect or hall, which is valid for a long time and updated regularly, as long as it is a disciple below the Jindan period of the Sword Sect, a certain number of tasks must be completed every month. Of course, regular tasks are also directly linked to cultivation, and during the Qi refining period, you can only take on tasks in the Qi refining period and below, and so on.

Narrator: Is there any more of the following during the Qi refining period?

Gu Ming: The narrator is a good man, and the appraisal is complete.

The second type is entrusted tasks: everyone in the Sword Sect can publish, the content can be any aspect, as long as you can clearly state your needs, and of course, the remuneration is also borne by the publisher!

The third category is special tasks: this type of task publisher has special requirements or the task reward is not suitable for outsiders to know, so when the special task is released, it generally only explains the general situation, and the specific requirements and rewards need to be discussed in both aspects!

Every disciple of the Sword Sect must "fulfill the obligation", that is, must receive a certain number of unpaid regular tasks every month.

Generally speaking, an ordinary disciple must complete 3 unpaid regular tasks in a month, and can also receive up to 3 more paid regular tasks!

Core disciples must complete 5 unpaid regular tasks in a month, and can receive up to 5 more paid tasks of this type. After all, if you have strong ability, you need to fulfill great responsibilities!

As for entrusted tasks and special tasks, as long as you are not afraid of delaying your cultivation and you have the ability to complete them, you can take as many as you want!

Of course, if you have 3 or more tasks of any kind that you have not completed in 3 months, then you will not be able to take on any more paid tasks for the next half year!

A disciple like Gu Ming can choose a task with reference to ordinary disciples in principle, but all tasks are paid!

Hehe, after all, I'm here to help, and I still have to take care of it somewhat!

Finally, there is the exchange system, which is very simple, clear and real, no need to explain more. This middle-aged deacon took out a thick booklet directly from under the counter and threw it to Gu Ming for him to read for himself!

In the process of the deacon's narration, Gu Ming found that this middle-aged man was still relatively easy to talk, and the topics of the two gradually increased!

Through talking, Gu Ming knew that this middle-aged deacon's surname was Jiang Mingshui, and it was a coincidence that he was also a second-grade spiritual root like Gu Ming, and due to his lack of cultivation power, he had been practicing for more than thirty years, and he was still in the late stage of qi refining.

During the conversation, he insisted that Gu Ming call him Mr. Jiang, and did not let him call Senior Brother Jiang, saying that he was a disgrace to the teacher, and he did not dare to call him a senior brother.

When it comes to cultivation, Gu Mingcai, who is also a second-grade spiritual root, has already opened up the sea of qi in just over two months, and the middle stage of qi refining is just around the corner, and Mr. Jiang is also embarrassed when he talks about this!

Mr. Jiang and Gu Ming hit it off at first sight, and secretly revealed a lot of tips for choosing tasks and rewards, which saved a lot of trouble!

At the suggestion of the "insider", Gu Ming gave priority to a regular task: patrolling the mountain behind the moon, and the task reward is 10 taels of silver, 5 Qi Seeking Pills or 1 Qi Replenishing Pill, which can be completed within 3 days!

At the same time, he also specially took over a commissioned task to find a second-order high-grade gentian grass! This task is a commissioned task issued by a disciple, and the reward is 20 taels of silver, and there is no time limit.

This mission may not seem like a great reward, but it's easier than ever!

Because Jiang Cheng is one of the production areas of gentian grass, especially in Mochizuki Mountain, there are often disciples who accidentally find one or two plants!

The only difficulty is the top grade, maybe you can go to the back mountain to try your luck and earn the 20 taels.

The entrusted task generally requires the client to hand over the remuneration to the deacon hall as a security deposit, so it is relatively stable.

In addition to choosing tasks, Mr. Jiang also secretly told Gu Ming some "experience talks", many of the regular tasks of the Sword Sect are released by the Sword Sect bosses, and sometimes there will be a situation where rewards will be deducted for various reasons!

Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang mysteriously told Gu Ming that the patrol mission he helped choose was actually issued by the Deacon Hall, and he was there, so that Gu Ming could rest assured!

Nima, there are acquaintances who are easy to do, it's the same everywhere!

After laughing, Gu Ming thanked Mr. Jiang well.

After bidding farewell to the warm-hearted Jiang Liushui, Gu Ming went back to his residence and made some simple preparations, took some tools to search for the mountain, took the identity token and reported to the guards at the back mountain gate, and set off to do the task!

......

Originally, I was ready to complete the regular task of patrolling before going to find the mountain, but I didn't expect to turn around on the patrol route designated by the sect, and it took less than two hours.

Nima, this task is too easy!

sighed a little, the regular task of the disciples in the Qi refining period is not difficult, after all, it is still a "novice task", it is completely for nothing!

Forget it, let's try our luck in the mountains!!
