Chapter 11 Deliberately Making Things Difficult
The next morning, in the dilapidated cabin, Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes.
After a night of breathing, his spiritual power has increased slightly. If he accumulates little by little, he will eventually break through!
After washing and tidying up, Qin Tian called Zeng Aniu directly, and the two of them went out of the valley and headed for the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
After galloping all the way, they climbed over several small hills and came to a loft built against the mountain.
It is not difficult to judge from the plaque on the door beam that it is undoubtedly the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall of the Outer Sect.
Since the two did not come early, many new disciples have gathered in the open space outside the loft at this moment. They either closed their eyes to rest or chatted with each other, and the scene was harmonious.
Seeing this scene, the two hurriedly found a corner to stand.
In the following time, new disciples continued to arrive, making the open space gradually noisy.
However, Qin Tian was keenly aware that almost no one, such as Nangong Yingjun or Wu Xun, who were talented and had backers, were present.
It can be seen that the world of immortal cultivation is also a place that pays attention to identity and background, and there are many powerful people.
Just as Qin Tian was sighing inwardly, he saw the door of the attic slowly open, and a sixty-year-old man in a green robe walked out from inside.
This man was thin, and his triangular eyes flashed cold light from time to time, which gave people a gloomy feeling.
Behind him were several white-robed disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, each of them was cautious, which showed that this person was definitely not easy to deal with!
It should be noted that the standard robes in Qianyuan Sect, green robes represent the deacons in the Foundation Establishment Stage, which everyone has long known, so with the appearance of this person, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Seeing this, the old man in green robe seemed very satisfied with his appearance. His triangular eyes slowly swept over everyone, and he said in a stern tone:
"My surname is Xu, and I am the deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. You new disciples must undertake miscellaneous tasks according to the rules of the sect. From today on, you must strictly implement the assigned tasks every month. If there are people who are passive and lazy, I will not let them off easily!"
"We will obey the deacon's orders!"
Everyone did not dare to hesitate and responded in unison, fearing that they would cause trouble if they did not do well.
Deacon Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to order:
"Line up and draw lots one by one. Whatever task you draw will not change in the future!"
Hearing this, after a commotion, everyone hurriedly formed a team spontaneously.
There is no doubt that Qin Tian and Zeng Aniu were naturally squeezed to the end.
At the same time, a white-robed disciple took two steps forward, waved his hand and took out a green bamboo tube with black bamboo sticks inside.
However, since the mouth of the bamboo tube was blocked by a ban, the divine mind could not detect it at all.
As the first disciple in line took the lead and drew the first bamboo stick, everyone looked at it carefully, and a few small words on it immediately came into view.
"Guarding the mountain patrol task! Good luck, it's an idle job."
The white-robed disciple holding the bamboo tube smiled and said, without any harshness in his words.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
The person who drew the lot hurriedly thanked him, and then secretly stepped aside with joy.
After that, as everyone continued to draw lots, various tasks emerged one after another.
"Spiritual value task of the spiritual medicine garden"
"Miscellaneous tasks of the alchemy hall"
"Miscellaneous tasks of the instrument hall"
"Cleaning task of the scripture building"
................
As the saying goes, some are happy and some are sad!
Some people who drew easy tasks were naturally very happy, while most of the rest who drew tedious tasks were frowning and had no words to say.
Probably because the tasks were different, the length of time and the degree of complexity were also different. After all, no one wanted to waste precious practice time on miscellaneous tasks.
In this way, after half an hour, except for Qin Tian and Zeng Aniu, everyone present had finished drawing lots.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward with Zeng Aniu.
But at this moment, the white-robed disciple looked at Qin Tian deeply, then suddenly put away the bamboo tube, changed his face and asked coldly:
"You are Qin Tian, right?"
Qin Tian frowned when he heard this, and felt an ominous feeling in his heart, but still answered truthfully:
"Yes"
"You two don't need to draw lots, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall has other arrangements."
The white-robed disciple said with a sneer on his face when he heard this.
As soon as this was said, everyone in the field turned their heads to look at him, and obviously saw something.
Only the deacon named Xu on the side still closed his eyes and rested calmly, looking like he didn't care at all.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian's heart sank, but he didn't show any strange color. Instead, he pulled Zeng Aniu, who looked angry, and retreated to the side.
"Okay, those who have drawn the lottery will report to their posts, and you two will follow me!"
After saying this, the white-robed disciple pointed at Qin Tian and the others.
Everyone didn't dare to hesitate after hearing this, and quickly scattered.
Only Qin Tian and the others followed the white-robed disciple and walked towards a certain direction in the sect.
Along the way, because the three of them were silent, the atmosphere was somewhat weird.
After about a cup of tea, a deep valley suddenly appeared in front of them, and after entering it, a burning breath hit them.
On the stone walls of the valley, many caves were dug out, and they were all covered by forbidden seals. The details inside could not be seen at all, but there were still bursts of heat coming out, causing the temperature in the whole valley to be quite high.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't ask rashly. It was obvious that he wanted to see what the white-robed monk was selling.
As they kept running all the way, after being questioned by several waves of stationed disciples, the three finally stopped in front of a stone hall.
The stone hall was simple in shape, and the interior was extremely spacious, like a warehouse specially used to store spiritual materials. There were monks guarding the door, which could be said to be heavily guarded.
And the ground inside the warehouse was full of golden ore, shining like a hill.
If ordinary people saw such a spectacular scene, they would probably think they had come to a treasure house.
However, seeing this scene, Qin Tian was not happy at all, and even had a hint of alarm in his heart.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal!
This arrangement of the white-robed monk will definitely not be an easy job.
Sure enough, just when the two were secretly wondering, the voice of the white-robed monk suddenly sounded:
"This is the golden ore. It has been piled here since the ore vein was mined. It is necessary to use spiritual power to refine the impurities in it before you can get the real golden stone.
You two will be responsible for the quenching task in the future. According to the needs of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, at least 30 finished golden stones must be refined every month, and the impurities contained in the finished products must not exceed 30%!"
Speaking of this, the white-robed monk paused slightly, and then his tone turned cold and continued:
"But let me say it in advance. If the two junior brothers fail to complete the task, they can only be dealt with according to the rules of the sect!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian also reacted quickly.
Then he picked up a piece of ore, urged the spiritual power in his palm on the spot, and tried to quench it.
However, after a while, only a strand of black gas the size of a hair was discharged from the surface of the ore, and the overall impurities were hardly reduced.
In view of this situation, Qin Tian frowned, and an inexplicable anger surged in his heart. He immediately turned around and asked:
"This ore is so hard. With our cultivation level, it is difficult to refine 30 pieces in a month, isn't it?"
Hearing this, the young man in white robe smiled coldly, and then quickly slapped the storage bag on his waist with one hand, took out a black magic whip, and threw it in the air without warning.
There was also a burst of the momentum of the sixth level of Qi Refining, which enveloped Qin Tian fiercely.
"Huff!"
Accompanied by a muffled sound, Qin Tian was caught off guard, and a blood mark was immediately drawn on his chest, and his body stepped back uncontrollably.
Zeng Aniu, who was standing by, was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward to help, while glaring at the white-robed disciple.
"Disobeying orders, this is the end!"
But after the white-robed disciple put away his long whip, he said with a sneer on his face.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he felt a burning pain in his chest, he endured it without making a sound.
Then he secretly winked, signaling Zeng Aniu not to act rashly, and then he waved his sleeves to put away the 50 pieces of ore, and walked straight out without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zeng Aniu also followed suit and immediately chased Qin Tian away.
"Come here in a month to hand over the golden stone. If there is any delay, you will be punished according to the sect rules!"
Hearing the cold shout from behind, Qin Tian did not stop.
However, just when they were about to leave the valley, a figure standing with his hands behind his back suddenly appeared and blocked the two of them.
No need to look closely to know that it was Wang Lin without a doubt!
"Hey, isn't this the famous useless Qin Tian? What happened? Was he whipped?"
Wang Lin turned around and said with undisguised sarcasm.
Hearing this, Qin Tian just glanced at him coldly and walked out of the valley.
Seeing this, Wang Lin's face flashed a trace of ferocity.
After all, he clung to the Cao family in order to climb up, and now he has finally achieved his current status, but now he is ignored by a useless person. How can he not be secretly angry!
"Don't you like to make a fuss about the sect rules and regulations? I will use the sect rules to kill you!"
