From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 377 If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.

Except for having lunch in Baiyun Zhaitang at noon and those who were too reserved to go back home at noon to face reality and change their Taoist robes into ordinary clothes, the more than 50 people basically bent over in the rice fields for the rest of the time.

In just one day, when we walked up the mountain in the afternoon under the setting sun, it was already dusk and darkness. The reflection of the setting sun on the top of the mountain allowed us to vaguely make out some paths.

When I looked back, I had just walked out of the mountainside when I saw white smoke coming out from the cracks in the rocks of the surrounding peaks. It was like a thick fog that kept coming out. In a blink of an eye, the ravines and gullies disappeared, hiding the spiritual field so that there was no trace of it. Only a toad and a mouse could be vaguely seen playing in the misty forest.

Wang Shuhuan knew that this should be the guardian beast that Zhao Ziyao had mentioned during the day, guarding the spiritual fields and medicine garden.

The fifty or so people seemed to have experienced a lot. They were all in dirty clothes, tired and hungry, their skin was red and painful from the sun, and many of them had blisters on their hands.

However, their temperament has changed subtly. Most of these guys are young people in their 18s and 19s, and their problems are nothing more than laziness, jumping around, confusion, and being spoiled... Now they are gradually turning around.

But just like Chi Yanhong said, these people persisted in enduring the Emei trial with great enthusiasm, and their patience was quite good. None of the fifty noobs gave up the mission halfway.

They ignored the rest and headed straight for the front mountain service hall.

The Service Hall is located between the disciples' dormitory, which is between the Qiwu Palace and the Linlang Garden. It is a very standard traditional Taoist temple with wooden eaves structure, with a huge bluestone tile square in the middle and white-walled and black-tiled corridors on both sides. The main hall is located in the middle, with a huge space inside. It looks solemn and serene. When you push open the door of the hall, you will see the Service Monument standing in the center of the hall.

When Wang Shuhuan and others arrived at the palace gate, it was bustling with people coming in and out.

Wang Xin, Zhu Ling and the other two took them into the hall and reported the mission status to the staff at the counter.

The person in charge today was a middle-aged woman who had a background in accounting. After checking the items, she carefully looked at the fifty red-hot disciples behind her and said:

"After verification, Dharma Protector Zhao is leading fifty disciples to carry out the task of harvesting spiritual rice in July. The harvesting quantity has reached the standard, and task points will be issued!" After saying that, the manager first took the nameplates of Zhao Ziyao, Wang Xin and Zhu Ling, and after some operations, handed them back to the three of them.

"Wuhu! Hahahaha, I finally have a place to drink Baiyunli tomorrow!"

Zhao Ziyao took the nameplate and kissed it impatiently. Wang Xin and Zhu Ling also looked happy.

Wang Shuhuan then understood that the people in the back mountain also had to abide by the rules and regulations of the mission point.

More than fifty people quickly lined up in a long queue, took the wooden signs, and had their task points confirmed and distributed one by one.

There were still a few girls whose weight did not meet the requirement and they could not obtain the mission point reward. They could only receive a spiritual rice food coupon from the second floor of Baiyun Zhaitang.

Wang Shuhuan took the nameplate and saw the number 22 turned into 23, and he felt relieved.

"Take your time. One hundred points should be accumulated before the inspection period ends next year!"

At this time, there was a sudden commotion among those who were verifying the tasks. Wang Shuhuan went over and saw that there was indeed a tough guy who had harvested spiritual rice several times more than the target, and he got a total of two task points.

"This man is called Yan Fu, and he's the first one to reach the summit of Mount Emei. According to the people in their dormitory, this guy joined Baiyun Taoist Temple with a legacy. He already had pretty good horizontal training skills, and his skin is thick and tough." Yang Xinwu spoke sourly beside Wang Shuhuan, inevitably feeling a little jealous.

"It's so damn cool!" Wang Shuhuan sighed to the sky.

When I came out of the main hall, I saw many people in the square holding signs with the following written in fluorescent pen:
"Suzhou New District landslide mission, my relative is a professor at the University of Geology, recruiting people to form a team, including travel tickets, food and accommodation, looking for a handsome guy with good physical strength who can withstand and run!"

"There are already three long-legged girls for the new spiritual plant planting mission. Looking for a thigh who knows a lot about plants!"

"To win big with a small investment, to seek wealth and honor in danger, I know there is a dilapidated Taoist temple hidden in a secret place in the deserted mountains in my hometown, I am looking for people to form a team, and you are required to run fast, run fast, run fast!"

They draw their own zones and constantly lobby for people to do so. Quite a few people who look good actually come forward to inquire about the areas.

"..." Wang Shuhuan had a strange look on his face. These people were planning to earn mission points before the Taoist academy officially opened.

However, Wang Shuhuan and Yang Xinwu were also unable to remain reserved and looked around to see if there was a team suitable for them.

While the verbal battle was going on here, Wang Shuhuan heard a sudden commotion outside, and even crying and scolding.

As soon as I went out, I saw several boys being carried on stretchers coming from the back mountain. They looked crooked and had slanted eyes, looking very ugly. Zhao Ziyao was scolding them.

Well, after listening to it, I realized that there were a few fearless people who broke into the back mountain. They probably dreamed of reaching the sky in one step and worshipping those two as their teachers. In the end, they didn't see anyone and were trapped in the formation, feeling like they were in ecstasy. Fortunately, they were discovered by Zhao Ziyao who returned to the back mountain and were rescued.

Fortunately, it's not serious. I can recover by spending some task points to exchange for a talisman.

If you don't seek death, you won't die. Wang Shuhuan expressed his highest respect to these reckless guys.

After returning to the Performance Hall, Wang Shuhuan and Yang Xinwu inspected for a long time but did not find any suitable task team. The main reason was that these teams looked very unreliable.

Just as they were returning disappointed, a loud voice called them from behind.

Liu Ming was holding a wooden sign in his hand, and a big, bulky man was walking towards them.

"Brother Shuhuan, Brother Xinwu, how about joining my team?"

Wang Shuhuan frowned: "Oh, what tasks can you complete?"

Liu Ming still had that gangster-like smile on his face, and pulled the big fool out from behind:
"If you ask me, your hard work in harvesting spiritual rice is too inefficient. What era is it now? It's a new era where spiritual energy has just revived! New plant varieties are being bred every day. If we go find these spiritual plants, we will get more task points as rewards!"

Yang Xinwu naturally knew this truth, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Do you have a way? Now the spiritual plants in various famous mountains and rivers have been almost all developed by the official United Dao League. How can it be so easy to find new and useful spiritual plants?"

"Hehehe, I really have a way!"

Liu Ming lowered his voice, hooked Wang Shuhuan and Yang Xinwu's shoulders and pulled them over: "When I was in high school and on summer vacation, I found a few strange plants in the back mountain of our hometown. I just checked them in Baiyunzang, and there are no relevant records, and there is no similar information on the market. It is estimated that they are new spiritual plants that are not registered."

"Is this true?!"

"really!"

Now it was Wang Shuhuan and Yang Xinwu's turn to be shocked. If Liu Ming was not lying, this could indeed bring them a considerable amount of mission point income.

Liu Ming smiled bitterly: "You don't believe me? Didn't you see that I even brought Yan Fu here?!"

Yan Fu was two meters tall, almost a head taller than the three of them. After hearing Liu Ming's words, he nodded slowly and coldly: "There is a way."

Hearing the current top freshman say this, Wang Shuhuan weighed the pros and cons for a moment, nodded, and said:
"But I have a request. I want to bring someone else with me."

Yang Xinwu also said: "I want to bring someone with me too."

Liu Ming nodded: "Okay, but no more, otherwise there won't be enough mission points!"

"When to set off?"

"Maybe after three days. I think you still have two days to harvest the spiritual rice this time."
