The road is vague

Chapter 30 Rotation Tasks

There are twelve halls in Lingmu Sect.

First of all, there is the Ancestral Hall where the Master trains his disciples, and it has the best conditions among all the halls.

All the disciples selected into the Patriarch's Hall are either people with excellent qualifications and extraordinary understanding, or people who have made great contributions to the sect and have extraordinary talents.

There were usually no more than five disciples in the Zushi Hall at the same time, and almost every one of those selected achieved extraordinary achievements in the future.

It is said that there are only two people in the ancestral hall of this generation.

Both of them were cultivators in the late Jindan stage. During the period when the master was in seclusion, they became the so-called acting masters of Lingmu Sect.

After that is the hall where the inner disciples are.

They are the Dharma Protector Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, Alchemy Hall, Equipment Refining Hall, and Talisman Making Hall.

Although the conditions in these halls are slightly worse, the disciples in each hall generally do not leave the sect and can enjoy all the conveniences of the sect. Their daily practice will not be delayed by various tasks. They are the first choice for disciples who have completed their studies in three years.

After that is the hall where the outer disciples are.

They are Special Service Hall, Treasure Hall, Supervisor Hall, Four Seas Hall and Scattered Leaves Hall.

These disciples from the outer sect are often sent out on missions and experience all kinds of dangers. Not only can they not enjoy the conveniences of the sect, but the density of spiritual energy in the outside world is also difficult to compare with that on Qingming Mountain, so their cultivation speed will be greatly reduced.

This results in outer disciples not only being unable to maintain their health and extend their lifespan, but also having their lifespan lost due to various daily injuries, or having to live a monotonous and boring life day after day. This is a helpless choice for disciples who have failed to complete their studies after three years.

Finally, there is the study hall.

The training hall can be said to be the talent training base of Lingmumen, or it can be said to be the logistics base for Lingmumen to maintain its daily operations.

A large number of low-level disciples serve as porters and cooks at the bottom of Lingmu Sect, gatekeepers, cleaners, house repairers, spiritual bird breeders, candlelight changers, night watchmen and timekeepers, and other miscellaneous positions to ensure the order of Lingmu Sect.

Through labor, these disciples can enhance their sense of belonging to their master.

You can also exchange it for spirit stone rewards and contributions to the master, and then by consuming the contributions to the master, you can get the opportunity to attend the sermons of high-level monks.

Three years later.

Those who enter the training hall will be assigned to various halls based on their own cultivation and the results of the final examination.

early morning.

As a first-year disciple of the Continuing Education Hall, Li Mo came to the hall to receive his rotation assignment.

The tasks in the training hall can be divided into two types: daily rotation tasks and temporary commissioned tasks.

Daily rotation tasks are basically fixed and are assigned by the master to complete various daily maintenance within the master. These tasks are usually of low difficulty and require a lot of time, energy, and physical strength. Only after completing these daily tasks can you receive spirit stone salary and master contribution every month.

As for temporary commissioned tasks, they are often tasks temporarily issued by inner disciples and foundation-building cultivators. Occasionally, there will be certain risks. The specific rewards will be commensurate with the effort put into the task. At the same time, there is a certain probability of making friends with the foundation-building seniors in the sect.

However, such commissioned tasks that require going out are generally stipulated to be carried out by disciples who have been in the training hall for more than one year. It is difficult for newly-enrolled first-year disciples to have the opportunity to carry out commissioned tasks.

"Uncle Ding, disciple Li Mo is here to receive this month's rotation assignment."

Generally speaking, Lingmumen's rotation tasks are rotated once a month.

Ding Wei nodded, took out a badge and handed it to Li Mo.

"You will be in charge of the gatekeeper duties for Jubao Hall this month. You will take over at 5 p.m. every day and rest at 10 p.m. You will also be responsible for conveying messages to Jubao Hall and maintaining daily cleanliness."

"Yes!"

Ding Wei nodded and gave a few more instructions.

"Because this is your first time accepting a daily mission from the sect, you will be given ten free opportunities to attend lectures given by the sect's foundation-building monks this month. After completing these missions, you will receive one spirit stone and ten points of sect contribution at the end of the month."

After Li Mo took the badge, he looked at it carefully. It was engraved with the words "Taoist boy guarding the gate of Jubao Hall". He immediately bowed to express his gratitude and turned to leave.

It’s not too early.

Before that, he could stroll around the gate and familiarize himself with the environment of Lingmu Gate.

After strolling around for a while, Li Mo discovered that Qingming Mountain was actually larger than he had imagined.

There are about a hundred courtyards here, of which more than twenty are forbidden areas, more than thirty are not allowed to be entered by outsiders or low-level disciples, and some courtyards require application before entry.

Li Mo wrote them down one by one.

In addition, there are three public gathering areas on Qingming Mountain.

One is the Wudao Peak in the back mountain, which is where the low-level monks of Lingmu Sect learn magic. There are also many foundation-building monks building caves on the mountainside, but they are all guarded by formations, so there is no need to worry about accidentally entering.

One is the Sacred Tree Square in the center of Qingming Mountain, which is the area for daily activities and communication for low-level monks of Lingmu Sect. It covers an area of ​​thousands of acres.

One is the Qingming Hall, which is the gathering place for important meetings of the Lingmu Sect. Normally, low-level disciples are not allowed to enter without permission.

Before I knew it, it was already noon.

After feeding himself in advance, Li Mo changed into the clothes of a gatekeeper and arrived at the gate of Jubao Hall on time.

At this time, there were three people standing in front of the gate.

Two of them should be Taoist children who have been waiting here for a long time.

When the two saw Li Mo coming, they carefully explained the specific precautions of the task to him and another boy who had accepted the Taoist child mission here, and then left.

The boy who performed the gatekeeper duty together with Li Mo was a boy with a little baby fat. He looked like he had just become a child, about fifteen or sixteen years old, a little younger than Li Mo.

So Li Mo took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, my name is Li Mo."

The boy smiled cheerfully and replied, "Hello, my name is Wang Zhu, and my family is a bamboo craftsman. How about you?"

The so-called bamboo craftsman refers to the craftsman who weaves bamboo strips into various daily necessities and production tools, and bamboo strips can also be understood as bamboo strips.

"My family is a traveling doctor."

Li Mo responded with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Zhu gestured to Li Mo, "Shall we go clean up the fallen leaves first?"

"it is good."

The two of them picked up brooms and started sweeping the road. After a few times, they soon became familiar with the job.

Wang Zhu is an honest man who doesn't talk much, but he is very serious about his work and likes to dwell on trivial matters. He looks very much like the former Li Mo.

The gatekeepers were divided into three shifts, with Li Mo and Wang Zhu being the last ones.

After the two finished their mission at Xu, they rested from Hai to Chou, before the first group of gatekeepers returned to work at Yin. The Treasure Hall was vast, and sweeping the entire surface took the two of them about half an hour.

As an outer sect hall, the disciples of Jubao Hall need to go to the markets in various counties and prefectures of Muzhou to manage the business, maintain the sect's industry, and accumulate wealth for the sect. Therefore, there are not many disciples who live in the hall permanently, and many of them may not come back for several years.

Anyone who joins the Treasure Hall may not have high cultivation strength, but he or she will definitely have a flexible mind. Although he or she will not achieve anything great in the future, it will not be a problem for him or her to become a wealthy man.

Therefore, usually there are few people visiting Jubaotang.

After cleaning the road to Jubao Hall, the two returned to the gate and waited for time to pass.

As night fell, bored, the two began to think of ways to pass the time. Li Mo planned to try to practice the small Zhoutian luck in a standing position.

I have to say, this is indeed a bit difficult.

Standing on both legs will cause changes in the blood vessels. After trying for a long time, Li Mo still couldn't get it right, so he had to give up temporarily, thinking that there is still a long way to go.

At this time, Li Mo discovered that Wang Zhu beside him had not spoken for a long time.

So he turned his head and looked, and saw Wang Zhu, who was only separated by a door, picking his nose at this moment, with an expression of extreme concentration, extreme enjoyment, and extreme intoxication.

This left Li Mo stunned for a while.

Every movement he made was extremely cautious, as if he was touching a precious work of art. Even Li Mo became a little nervous, wondering if there was a bug in his nose, and he was afraid that if he exerted too much force, the bug would go deep into his nostrils.
After a long time.

Wang Zhu let out a long breath and let out a beautiful moan.

Li Mo saw a large piece of booger on Wang Zhu's finger and couldn't help showing disgust.

"I thought you had a bug in your nostril."

Wang Zhu raised his right hand, which was covered with boogers, and showed it to Li Mo excitedly.

"This is a superb booger!"

"what?"

Li Mo was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

Wang Zhu explained excitedly.

"A truly top-notch booger must be very dry on the outside and very moist on the inside!"

"what?"

"When you breathe, you'll feel a faint sense of suffocation as it's being sucked into your nasal cavity. First, use your pinky finger to gently loosen the mucus, allowing it to gradually ease. Then, use your index finger and thumb to repeatedly pull and rub it. During this process, you must be extremely careful and do your best to keep the booger intact. As the booger gradually slides out of your nasal cavity, its moistened end pulling out a sticky thread. That feeling... will absolutely make you forget all your worries. And when you witness the booger appear intact on your finger, feeling its elasticity and stickiness, its temperature and color, you'll never understand that sense of accomplishment unless you've experienced it yourself. Once you experience it, you'll never forget it!"

Listening to the other party's eloquent and vivid description of the details, Li Mo felt that his worldview was shattered by the other party's words.

If there really are three thousand great ways in this world, then this Wang Zhu must be the number one in the Booger Way!
"This person has a pure heart and a serious and down-to-earth attitude. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Li Mo was thinking this in his mind as he saw the other person rubbing such a large piece of booger between his thumb and index finger, gradually forming it into a ball with a look of enjoyment on his face. He quickly turned his head away and stopped looking.

He suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to circulate the small circulation in a standing position.

the next day.

Li Mo had nothing to do in the morning, so he came to the hall, intending to try his luck and see if he could get a temporary commission.

After confirming with Uncle Ding that there were no commissioned tasks for him to accept, Li Mo came to a blackboard and looked at the introductions of the three uncles and aunts in the Foundation Establishment stage who would come to the training hall to preach today.

Zhang Weibao, deputy captain of the Geng team of the Law Enforcement Hall, is good at wind-attribute spells, wood-attribute spells, and techniques for binding and trapping enemies. He will come to the Jia classroom of the Continuing Education Hall to give a sermon at Si time today. One point of contribution points to the master is required to attend the sermon.

Chen Rong, the captain of Team A of the Alchemy Hall, is good at refining blood-replenishing pills, qi-nourishing pills, and foundation-building pills. She will come to the Classroom B of the Advanced Studies Hall to give a sermon at noon today. One point of contribution points to the sect is required to attend the sermon.

Wei Cang, deputy captain of the Kui Team of the Guardian Hall, is good at thunder spells and side attack techniques. He will come to the Bing Classroom of the Advanced Studies Hall to give a sermon at 3:00 PM today. One point of contribution points is required to attend the sermon.

"Alchemy!"

Li Mo remembered Zhang Dongliang's advice, and he never forgot his goal.

After a brief thought, he was very interested in Chen Rong from the Alchemy Hall and Wei Cang from the Guardian Hall.

He was originally a traveling doctor, and he believed that if he learned the art of alchemy, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

As for the preaching of Uncle Wei Cang from the Guardian Hall, it was about thunder-attributed magic techniques, and he had thunder spiritual roots. Now he only mastered the spiritual eye technique that came with the main practice of his sect. Naturally, he wanted to try to learn a low-level thunder-attributed spell for self-defense.

pity.

Uncle Wei Cang's lecture was at 3:00 p.m., and Li Mo had to go to Jubao Hall to be on duty at the gate, so he had no time to attend. He had no choice but to give up temporarily.

"That's good. This way I can focus on learning alchemy without any distractions."

Noon.

Li Mo arrived at classroom No. 1 on time and took advantage of his free auditing opportunity to enter.

It was not until the senior sister named Chen Rong entered the classroom that there were only nine people in the classroom including Li Mo, but Senior Sister Chen Rong was not surprised.

She greeted everyone with a smile and didn't seem difficult to get along with.

"From now on, you can just call me Master Chen. The art of alchemy is not something you can achieve overnight. To master it, besides being proficient in the properties of various spiritual herbs, you also need to have some experience in controlling flames. Therefore, disciples with fire spiritual roots will have a certain advantage. Of course, those without fire spiritual roots can also rely on their rich experience in alchemy to control the fire of spirit stones, and in the process, comprehend the changes in fire and gain enlightenment..."

Chen Rong slowly explained the basic knowledge of alchemy.

Among the nine students in the audience, some were fascinated, some were confused, and some were regretful.

When Li Mo heard that cultivators with fire spiritual roots had certain advantages in learning alchemy, he was suddenly shocked and felt a little annoyed.

Why am I not a cultivator with fire spiritual roots?

At the same time, he discovered that the content of alchemy was a completely different system from the medical skills he had learned.

Li Mo sat on the mat and listened attentively, while thinking about something in his mind.

His transformation from a traveling doctor to an alchemist was not as simple as he had imagined. It was not something that could be accomplished overnight. The resources required in the process could not be met by relying on the sect's daily tasks, not to mention the distraction of learning spells, refining, making talismans, puppets, and rune formations.

"But you don't have to be discouraged."

Before leaving, Chen Rong comforted everyone.

"During the three years of the Advanced Training Hall, there will be an annual end-of-year assessment. In addition to the most eye-catching arena battles, the Advanced Training Hall also has professional assessments in alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, and puppetry. If you can gain experience in alchemy, you will also be given special training by the sect. Once you become an alchemist, you can earn spirit stones and improve your cultivation through elixirs. Then, you can purchase high-quality magic tools, master magic, and participate in the final assessment of the battle. It is also a good choice."

After hearing this, Li Mo was immediately fascinated.

This is actually a good way, but it is not as easy as he had previously thought, and it cannot be seamlessly transitioned through medical skills.
