Chapter 502: Shinto Order
Xue Wanyun heard this and pushed the door open without saying anything.
Duan Qing followed Xue Wanyun into the room and found that the furnishings in the room were very simple. There was no bed, not even a table or chair. There were only a few straw mats placed casually on the ground.
A middle-aged man with a fat face was sitting cross-legged on one of the mats, looking at the two with a smile.
"Wanyun greets Uncle Zhu." Xue Wanyun bowed to the fat middle-aged man.
Duan Qing also bowed to him and said, "Greetings to Uncle Zhu!"
Judging from Xue Wanyun's address, this person should be of the same generation as Master Mu Yu. He is Mu Yu's disciple, so it is reasonable to call him Uncle Master.
When the fat middle-aged man heard Duan Qing call him like this, he narrowed his eyes and said in confusion, "You look unfamiliar!"
Hearing this, Xue Wanyun hurriedly explained. "He is my mother's new disciple, named Duan Qing. Mother told Wanyun to bring him to you to receive the divine order!"
After that, he introduced Duan Qing: "This is my uncle Zhu Yan."
"Duan Qing greets Uncle Zhu." Duan Qing was very tactful and bowed to Zhu Yan again.
After hearing Xue Wanyun say that Duan Qing was Mu Yu's new disciple, the fat middle-aged man couldn't help but look at Duan Qing with interest.
As far as he knew, Mu Yu had not accepted a disciple for a long time after that incident. It was a bit strange to suddenly accept such a disciple.
After looking at him for a while, the fat middle-aged man stood up from the ground and looked at Duan Qing with a smile. "Well, the boy is quite smart, and Sister Mu has a good eye!"
After that, he took out a palm-sized object similar to a round mirror from the storage bracelet and handed it to Duan Qing. "Drop a drop of blood on it."
Duan Qing bit his finger without hesitation and dripped a few drops of blood on the round mirror.
As soon as the blood touched the round mirror, it immediately merged into it and disappeared.
Then, the surface of the round mirror gradually appeared fiery red lines, which looked like a flame bird.
Seeing the flame bird pattern, Zhu Yan glanced at Duan Qing in surprise.
Junior Sister Mu really loves this kid. She has already taught him the Suzaku Transformation method just after he entered the door!
After the flame bird appeared, Zhu Yan handed the round mirror to Duan Qing directly. "This is your Shinto Order. You must keep it properly."
Duan Qing took the Shinto Order in the shape of a round mirror with both hands and said to Zhu Yan: "Thank you, Uncle Zhu."
As Duan Qing touched the Shinto Order, the flame bird pattern on the mirror surface slowly disappeared and disappeared in the mirror.
"We won't bother you, Uncle Zhu!" Seeing that the Shinto Order was in hand, Xue Wanyun immediately said to Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan smiled and waved his hand.
"Master Zhu, goodbye."
"Master Zhu, goodbye!"
...
After walking out of the room and closing the door, the two prepared to return to Qingfengjian.
Seeing Duan Qing playing with the Shinto Order while walking, Xue Wanyun explained: "You can use the Shinto Order to check the tasks issued by the sect at any time anywhere in the sect, but you still have to come to the Wanxiang Palace to accept them."
Hearing this, Duan Qing tried to sink his mind into the Shinto Order, and indeed found that there was a lot of information in it, but it was not convenient to check it now, so he had to put the Shinto Order away first and prepare to study it carefully after returning.
Thinking of Xue Wanyun's explanation just now, Duan Qing asked back: "You can check the tasks in the sect, what about outside the sect?"
Seeing Duan Qing noticed this, Xue Wanyun secretly thought that this kid was quite smart, and then explained to Duan Qing. "You can also check the sect tasks outside the sect, but it cannot be updated in real time. You can only check the information before leaving the sect."
Duan Qing nodded. The task release system of the Shinto Sect is unique.
Thinking of her mother asking Duan Qing to complete ten heaven-level tasks within five years, Xue Wanyun explained the information about the sect tasks to Duan Qing.
The sect tasks issued by the Shinto Sect are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow, with the highest level being heaven and the lowest being yellow.
There are many kinds of sect tasks, and most of them do not set acceptance conditions. Only a small number of sensitive or important tasks will be set by the sect to set acceptance conditions, and there are certain requirements for the cultivation level of the task takers.
For example, Xue Wanyun and Yu Ya went to Jizhou to investigate the suspected Suzaku Change technique.
According to the information fed back to the sect, the cultivation level of the person suspected of having the Suzaku Change technique is not high, and it is only a ground-level task.
However, because it involves the Suzaku Change, the secret technique of the Shinto Sect, which is more sensitive, the sect still set acceptance conditions for this task, requiring a minimum of the Spiritual Sea Realm to accept it, so Xue Wanyun wanted to bring Yu Ya along.
The Shinto Sect did this simply to ensure that such important tasks were completed as successfully as possible.
Except for a small number of tasks that have acceptance conditions, most tasks are open to all Shinto sect members and can be freely accepted.
In addition, in order to ensure the reasonable allocation of resources, almost all tasks can only be accepted by one person, which is called a unique task.
After a unique task is accepted by someone, no one else can accept it again, unless the person who accepted it before has not completed it, then the task will be accepted again.
Among all tasks, only a very small number of tasks can be accepted by multiple people at the same time, which is called a multi-person task.
Of course, some unique tasks are difficult to complete alone, so many people will choose to team up with people they are familiar with in the sect and work together to complete them.
For most Shinto sect members, sect tasks are the key to cultivation.
The sect contribution obtained by completing sect tasks can be exchanged for almost all items related to cultivation in the sect, such as spells, elixirs, spiritual treasures, and even secret supreme skills.
After listening to Xue Wanyun's explanation, Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh. It's no wonder that Shendao Sect is the leader in the world of immortality cultivation in Middle-earth, ranking first among the seven super sects.
Just by looking at the mission system of this sect, you can feel its surging vitality.
It is conceivable that the Shinto Sect benefits from issuing many tasks for its disciples to complete, which in turn feeds the Shinto Sect's disciples, forming a virtuous cycle.
In comparison, the Jinxuan Sect in Xiaonanjie is much more narrow-minded. Even the mountain gate is not open to the outside world, and the recruitment of disciples depends on the Jinxuan Order.
However, considering the lack of resources in Xiaonanjie, it is very difficult for Jin Xuanzong to maintain the Taoist system, and it is really unable to do anything else.
The two returned to Qingfeng Stream. Xue Wanyun sent Duan Qing to the cave where he temporarily stayed before preparing to leave, letting Duan Qing rest first.
Duan Qing looked at the cave in front of him, suddenly thought of something, and asked Xue Wanyun: "Senior Sister Xue, is it appropriate for me to continue living here?"
He remembered that Xue Wanyun said that day that this cave was where his second senior brother lived before. It seemed inappropriate for him to occupy the magpie's nest like this.
When Xue Wanyun heard Duan Qing ask this question, she naturally knew what Duan Qing meant, and her expression darkened, as if she had thought of something unhappy.
"You can stay here, Second Senior Brother... he doesn't need this place anymore!" Xue Wanyun said sadly.
