Chapter 2161
“Is there still such a saying?
If there is, why isn’t it indicated on the token? “Xiao Chen was a little suspicious.
“Of course, this is also a method to test new disciples. No Immortal Sect will directly indicate it, but it does exist,” Donghuang Zhong said with absolute certainty.
“I believe you. In that case, I really have to do crazy tasks in the next 100 years.”
Naturally, Xiao Chen believed in Donghuang Zhong’s words very much. In an instant, a surge of enthusiasm surged in his heart.
“Yes, yes, you must do crazy tasks, because the benefits you can get from doing crazy sect tasks are far greater than the benefits you can get from cultivating in seclusion for 100 years. Even if you don’t cultivate at all for 100 years and complete tasks day and night, after 100 years, when the time comes, the new scriptures and contribution points you get from completing the tasks will be far greater than the benefits you can get from cultivating in seclusion for hundreds of years.” Donghuang Zhong laughed mischievously.
“However, in order to not arouse the suspicion of those old guys in the sect, brother, you still have to leave some time for cultivation. This way, you will appear more normal, and it will also make those old guys think that you are not lazy in cultivating, and that you have a sense of belonging to the sect. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”
After listening to Donghuang Zhong’s words, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind, “Okay, I’ll listen to you!”
“By the way, Big Brother Xiao, don’t do those missions that require cultivating immortal grass if you can, because there aren’t too many benefits. You can do it once or twice every ten days or half a month. The best mission among the new disciples is to be an assistant to the elders of the sects. Although it’s just an assistant, you can see and learn more things from those elders. Moreover, if the elder is good, he might be in a good mood after completing the task and give you some extra rewards. Although it’s not much each time, it’s still not a small amount after accumulating over a long period of time.”
Donghuang Zhong continued, “Of course, you need to have a strong endurance to do these tasks, because those elders may get angry at any time because of your mistakes or other reasons while you are helping them. At that time, you must endure it and let the elders beat and scold you. If you meet some bad-tempered old monsters, they may beat you half to death, but as long as you can endure it, it will be very beneficial for you in the future.”
“Oh … it’s okay to suffer a little. As long as you can successfully stay in the inner sect, there will be extra income. These small problems are not a problem.” Xiao Chen smiled when he heard this. Suffering was nothing to him at all.
“Heh heh, of course, there is another great benefit. If you are able to gain the favor of an elder during the process of being an assistant, maybe that elder will directly make you his disciple. At that time, that would be the true benefit, because it would mean that you will definitely pass the test and stay in the inner sect. So, big brother Xiao, tell Big Yellow to be a little more clever during the process of being an assistant. If you are able to gain the acknowledgement of an elder in advance, it would be extremely beneficial to your future.” The Eastern Emperor Bell chuckled as it said.
“This kind of good thing is really rare. If you can win the favor of an elder, it is equivalent to having a backer in the sect.” Xiao Chen instantly figured out how great the benefits were!
“Yes. Generally speaking, immortals who have just ascended wouldn’t understand these things. Before they ascended, they were the rulers of their respective planes. Not everyone would be able to endure being beaten and scolded by them. However, if they could endure it, they would definitely not disappoint you.” The Eastern Emperor Bell spoke up once more.
“Thank you, Little Zhong. With the information you provided, I already know what to do.” Xiao Chen thanked Donghuang Zhong.
Donghuang Zhong waved his hand and said carelessly, “This is also a kind of training and growth. Little Zhong, don’t worry. When I and Da Huang have enough strength, we will start to investigate the news of your original master.” “Thank you, Little Zhong.
“This can be considered a form of training and growth. Little Bell, don’t worry. Once Big Yellow and I are strong enough, we’ll start investigating your original master.” Xiao Chen sighed, then promised the East Emperor Bell.
“En!”
After talking with Donghuang Zhong, Xiao Chen directly went into seclusion to adjust his Qi-circulation.
He planned to cultivate today and start to do the task tomorrow.
In the evening, he directly went to find Da Huang and told Donghuang Zhong’s words to Da Huang.
“Big Brother, if that’s the case, how about we split up?
We will take on tasks from different elders every time. This way, we will have more opportunities to gain the appreciation of the elders. Whether it’s you or me, with the appreciation of the elders, both of us will have a better life. “After hearing this, Da Huang’s brain, which was usually stupid, became extremely sharp at this moment.
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too. Haha, but tomorrow, we’ll do as Lil ‘Zhong said. We’ll go cultivate the immortal herbs a few times and pretend that this kind of work is boring. Then, we’ll go and help out,” Xiao Chen reminded.
“Okay!” Da Huang naturally did not have any objections.
After that, Xiao Chen also returned to his room. In the courtyard, when the sun rose, he received a task from the token to cultivate Immortal Herbs.
The contribution points for this kind of task were the same as mentioned before. They were very low. One cultivation would only give one contribution point.
The Immortal Crystals were okay, one hundred at a time!
Although it was not too much, the good thing was that this kind of work was not dangerous at all. So, overall, the benefits of this kind of task were much better than the villagers going out to risk their lives.
Cultivating Immortal Herbs was actually not complicated. They just needed to use their own Immortal Qi to continuously irrigate the Immortal Herbs so that they could grow healthily. Then, the Immortal Herbs would be taken away by the Alchemy Masters in the sect to be refined into pills.
Cultivating different Immortal Herbs took different time. The shortest one only needed two to three days, and the longer one might need two to three months.
However, for Immortals like them, two to three months and two to three days were no different.
Both Xiao Chen and Da Huang had done this kind of task five to six times in a row. They did not make any mistakes. After all, this kind of task was the simplest and the easiest. They just needed to kill time.
After more than a month, on this day, Xiao Chen finally stopped accepting this kind of task. Instead, he received a task from the token.
