Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 72 Outer Sect Mission
"There are many benefits to having a manager in the Scripture Pavilion. At least you can see the lower-level books you want. What do you think, Li Yunjing?"

When one of the deacons announced the task, his voice trembled slightly.

This is an absolutely lucrative job!
The scripture repository of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is a very important place!

The lowest-ranking cultivators are all outer disciples, and many of them are even inner disciples on duty. There are also quite a few Foundation Establishment experts such as true disciples and stewards.

Even the higher-ups of the "Scripture Pavilion" are all Golden Core Realm elders, and according to legend, the Pavilion Master of the Scripture Pavilion is a mysterious Nascent Soul Realm ancestor!

If it weren't for Yu Yunyi's sake, Li Yunjing would never have been assigned to such a place.

This is the advantage of having a powerful backer.

"Thank you, Deacon. I will do whatever you say!"

At this point, it would be foolish for Li Yunjing to disagree!

"Ok!"

The steward nodded and transferred the task into Li Yunjing's identity token.

[Outer Disciple: Li Yunjing]

[Task: Manage ten outer disciples on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, and be responsible for the daily maintenance and operation of the first floor.]

[Duration: One year, three days on, three days off.]

[Rewards: 30 Monthly Contribution Points, 15 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, 5 Qi-Replenishing Pills]

"What a great job!"

After checking his identity token, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up, and his breathing became a little rapid.

This is a top-notch job!
With plenty of rest time, you can use it for cultivation, and the rewards are plentiful. After working for a year, you could buy two top-grade magic artifacts!
Not to mention the hidden benefits of the "Library".

awesome!
Even Yu Yunyi, who was standing to the side, smiled and nodded slightly.

She was clearly satisfied with the arrangement.

Today, I've done Li Yunjing several favors in a row; this man will have no chance of escaping my grasp now!

After the business was finished, the two sides chatted for a while, mostly Yu Yunyi and the two stewards talking, with Li Yunjing occasionally responding. After half an hour, everyone dispersed.

Besides the "Foreign Affairs Hall," Yu Yunyi gave Li Yunjing a few more instructions before letting him leave.

Yu Yunyi had already said what she needed to say. She naturally wouldn't go to the "Scripture Pavilion" with them, as it wasn't a place that her little disciples could control.

As an important institution of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, the "Scripture Repository" has virtually no influence over its true disciples and deacons!

A smart person like Yu Yunyi would naturally not make a fool of herself by going to the library to embarrass herself.

After seeing Yu Yunyi off, Li Yunjing did not go to the "Scripture Pavilion," but instead went to his new residence.

Outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples live in different places.

The outer disciple's identity token already indicates Li Yunjing's new residence, and the key to the new residence is naturally the identity token.

Absolutely safe!

Unless one is a cultivator of a higher realm, no one can sneak into Li Yunjing's residence without his consent.

Li Yunjing naturally wanted to go and take a look at the new house.

The outer disciples lived in a valley in the center of the southern mountains.

The valley was enormous, capable of holding at least tens of thousands of people. When Li Yunjing arrived, he saw that the valley's interior was laid out in a grid pattern, resembling a small city. Inside were numerous independent courtyards, totaling as many as seventy to eighty thousand people.

These places, resembling detached villas, are the residences for each outer disciple.

"Compared to Fu Chao's mansion, it's naturally nothing, but it's much better than the days we had at 'Qiongze Peak'."

Using the map displayed on his "identity token," Li Yunjing wandered around the city for half an hour before finally finding his residence.

"What a big courtyard."

When Li Yunjing arrived at his residence, he saw his yard, which was a full three acres in size.

The courtyard has pavilions and towers, and the garden is planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. The air is also quite rich in spiritual energy, at least more than twice that of the western mountains!
This place is perfect for cultivation.

Unfortunately, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" doesn't support idlers; everyone needs to go on missions to earn contribution points.

Otherwise, one could simply stay at home and cultivate slowly; that would truly be the life of an immortal.

"There are already so many benefits after just being promoted to outer disciple. What will happen if I'm promoted to inner disciple?"

After closing the courtyard gate, Li Yunjing strolled around his own territory, his heart filled with emotion.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has a complete promotion channel, and everyone has hope.

Among the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", there are no useless people with poor talent. As long as they do not perish midway, everyone can be promoted to an inner disciple. It is only a matter of time.

If you have high talent, you will naturally enjoy better treatment earlier; if you have poor talent and insufficient luck, you will naturally have to endure decades to enter the inner sect.

However, those inner disciples who manage to climb the ranks generally have little future.

It will be almost impossible to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future.

Li Yunjing was promoted from a menial disciple to an outer disciple in just 50 days, which is absolutely top-notch speed!
In the future, there will naturally be more time to improve one's cultivation.

Some of the weaker ones wasted their time in the "Miscellaneous Service Hall," only able to advance to the outer disciple level after three to five years. In doing so, they unknowingly lost the most important period of their youth.

From this point on, the gap gradually widened.

This is the brutal competition within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Competition is constant; if you slow down, you'll be overtaken by someone from who-knows-where.

The resources that belong to you have been taken away by others in advance.

Back in his house, Li Yunjing sat on his large bed in his bedroom, having already figured out everything about the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The resources are there; whether you can get them depends on whether you can stand out.

Li Yunjing had no intention of living a life of ignominy. In the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," if you couldn't stand out, you would be constantly trampled on. Just look at the difference in treatment between outer disciples and menial disciples!
Without resources, how can one cultivate?
In his room, on the table, lay a set of blue Taoist robes, neatly folded.

This is the standard equipment for outer disciples.

To avoid trouble, the Shenxiao Dao Sect has placed a set of clothes in almost every residence.

Newly promoted outer disciples can change into their new Daoist robes as soon as they return home.

"Finally, I can say goodbye to my ugly gray Taoist robe!"

Li Yunjing first took off his servant's robe, then put on the blue robe of an outer disciple. Instantly, his whole body was filled with Taoist energy, and a fresh scent wafted from his clothes.

This blue Taoist robe is a high-grade magic artifact, a perk exclusively for outer disciples, and it's far superior to his first gray Taoist robe.
