Tasks at the Foot of the Mountain
What does this tell us?
This indicates that the peach wood sword is extremely strong and can undergo multiple, more advanced forging and refining processes.
Not to mention the fixed monthly allowance of Spirit Stone and pills, and extra pay for participating in various sect tasks in your spare time. If all else fails, you can also pick up tasks from the General Affairs Hall...
Their sect is truly incredibly powerful!
Yuan Jinsheng wasn't too familiar with the Immortal Cultivation Realm's resources, but based on what he knew, there was probably no sect in the entire Mortal Realm that could rival it.
With his Golden Core fully restored and his son having successfully broken through to the next level, Yuan Jinsheng was in high spirits. He got up and left the room to go to the General Affairs Hall to accept some tasks.
The Xiushui Village at the foot of the mountain is currently under construction, and the General Affairs Hall has issued many tasks. The disciples of Azure Cloud Peak usually go to collect some whenever they have free time.
The disciples of Azure Cloud Peak really enjoy taking on missions, not only to earn some Spirit Stone rewards, but also because completing missions in Xiushui Village allows them to go down the mountain.
Although the sect doesn't completely restrict them from going down the mountain, it's inconvenient to need to apply every time they go down, but the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak don't seem to have any complaints about it.
Elder Liu had carefully explained to them the reason for restricting them from going down the mountain: he was worried that their cultivation level was still low and that going down the mountain at will could easily lead to trouble.
After applying and then descending the mountain, the sect will know where they went and can go to meet and assist them if needed.
Furthermore, by setting up this application process, disciples are made aware that they should not go down the mountain unless absolutely necessary, which can alleviate the current management pressure on the sect.
After all, there are really not enough people, and we can't spare too many people to specifically manage the disciples' outings.
However, people always get tired of staying in one place for too long, even in the picturesque Lingxian Sect.
So even though it's just a trip to Xiushui Village at the foot of the mountain, it's always nice to change your surroundings from time to time.
Furthermore, the villagers of Xiushui Village were very friendly to them. Every time they came down the mountain to complete their mission, they were warmly received by the villagers. This sense of accomplishment was truly captivating.
Therefore, all the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak were extremely enthusiastic about going down the mountain to undertake the construction task of Xiushui Village.
Yuan Jinsheng arrived at the General Affairs Hall, looked at the task titles and specific requirements on the task board, and then chose one of the more difficult ones—using Object Control Technique to build a wall with stone bricks.
This task doesn't require much technical skill—in fact, all the tasks that help build Xiushui Village don't require much technical skill; they are all just basic applications of Law Technique and formations.
However, this task consumes a lot of Spiritual Power.
For most of the Azure Cloud Peak disciples, Qi Refining Stage stage, controlling one or two objects with the Object Control Technique is not difficult. What is difficult is controlling multiple stone bricks at once, precisely stacking them neatly in the corresponding positions, and repeating this Law Technique multiple times.
Basically, after a few times, the Dantian will be completely depleted.
Therefore, this task is considered one of the more difficult tasks by the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak.
Yuan Jinsheng was clearly aware of this, which is why he specifically chose this task when accepting it.
Not only him, but Liang Zhonghuai was the same.
After all, they were the only two disciples of Azure Cloud Peak whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment or above before even entering the sect.
Of course, the two of them alone could not complete all these difficult tasks; the rest were completed by the other disciples working together.
Liu Yunan was pleased with this outcome.
He had discussed this privately with Qin Jianghe and Sun Yigao. Now that these Azure Cloud Peak disciples eat, live, and travel together, it would be very beneficial to cultivate their tacit understanding and friendship if they could cooperate more in completing tasks.
After receiving his mission, Yuan Jinsheng obtained permission to leave the sect through his identity token. He wore the token on his waist and went down the mountain.
The barrier at the entrance to Heart-Questioning Road detected his identity token's permission to leave the area and allowed him to pass directly.
As Yuan Jinsheng passed by the Heart-Questioning Road of Heart-Questioning Road, he saw a young man he had never seen before standing there with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, clearly undergoing a test from the Heart-Questioning Road.
He found it somewhat strange.
The elders had said that the Heart-Questioning Road would be closed after their group of disciples completed their assessments, and outsiders would no longer be able to enter.
Those sect members who pass the Heart-Questioning Road test do not need to be retested as long as their character does not have major problems and they are not rejected by the Heart-Questioning Road.
What's wrong with this person...?
Could it be that this person forcibly broke through the restrictions and forced their way in, only to be stopped by the Heart-Questioning Road?
That shouldn't be the case. If that were the case, the elders would have already received news that the restriction had been broken.
It's also possible that the sect sent in someone else for the assessment.
Unable to figure it out, Yuan Jinsheng stopped dwelling on it and headed towards the construction site in Xiushui Village, sending a Sound Transmission Talisman to Elder Liu Yunan to explain the situation.
The reason he used the Sound Transmission Talisman wasn't because he forgot about the Lock Ring or didn't know about Elder Liu's Lock Ring's secondary array patterns, but because Elder Liu was really busy.
His Lock Ring is also very busy.
Nine times out of ten, when I try to contact him, he's already in contact with someone else.
So if there's something not urgent you want to tell him, it's more convenient to send him a Sound Transmission Talisman rather than using Lock Ring.
After sending the Sound Transmission Talisman, Yuan Jinsheng arrived at his mission location in the blink of an eye.
It was the middle of the day, and this place was bustling with activity.
At the construction site, a group of young men from Xiushui Village and nearby towns were working hard. Despite it being the dead of winter, their foreheads were covered in sweat, and they had taken off their padded jackets and put them in a straw shed nearby.
Because the bricklaying and wall-building work here generates a lot of dust, and there are also several Lingxian Sect disciples using Law Technique to help at the construction site, many tourists who come to watch only watch from a distance and dare not get too close.
Most of these tourists were literati and artists, who composed poems and painted on the sidelines, recording these scenes with words and pictures.
Yuan Jinsheng immediately spotted Du Changsheng, the village chief's son, who was supervising the work nearby.
He walked over and greeted Du Changsheng:
"Changsheng, I've taken on the task of laying bricks. Where would you recommend me?"
Upon seeing him arrive, Du Changsheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly greeted him with a smile:
"Senior Yuan is here! You've taken on the task of laying bricks again? Perfect timing, the bricklaying on the south side just started today, let me take you there."
Ever since Xiushui Village began to be developed into a town, Yuan Jinsheng has often come down to do missions, and the two have become quite familiar with each other over time.
Regarding the issue of address, Du Changsheng initially addressed Yuan Jinsheng as "Immortal," but Yuan Jinsheng had heard from the elders in the sect that Xiushui Village was the ancestral home of the sect leader and elders, and that they should be as friendly as possible to the villagers.
