Chapter 215 Zixiao Palace, which can't survive without tasks
"Senior Brother Tianyou can't figure it out?" Zhao Gongming accidentally heard Tianyou's low voice muttering and asked curiously.
Tianyou quickly interrupted: "Oh, nothing. By the way, there are always other facilities on Tianshen Peak, besides the dining hall, classroom and martial arts venue, right?"
"That's natural." Zhao Gongming's attention was indeed shifted. "When my senior brother came, he must have seen the location of the Douzhuan Star Movement Array. In addition, the courtyard we live in is not far from behind. The lotus bridge is located."
"It turns out that the Lotus Bridge is right behind our yard. No wonder the senior brother who arranged the residence before said that he would arrange a good place for me. It turns out that the benefits are here."
"Actually, the benefits that the senior brother said are more than that one." Zhao Gongming obviously had an evil smirk on his face when he said this, and he knew at a glance that he was not talking about serious things.
Sure enough, Pang Dahai immediately explained: "Don't listen to his nonsense, that's not good at all."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"It's like this, Senior Brother Tianyou doesn't know anything..."
After Zhao Gongming's explanation and the occasional supplement of Pang Dahai, Tianyou quickly understood what the so-called benefits mean. It turned out that there was a small courtyard next to the yard assigned by Tianyou and the others, and the entrance and exit of the yard was opened in the inner courtyard. In other words, if people in the yard wanted to enter and exit, they had to pass by the inner courtyard where they lived.
This was nothing at all, the key was that the people in the courtyard were a little special, or the disciples of the owner of the courtyard were a little special.
According to Tianyou's understanding, the Tianshen Peak where they live is just in correspondence with the Shennv Peak opposite the Sea of Clouds. All the living people on the Shennv Peak are female disciples, and Tianshen Peak is naturally male disciples.
Although Tianyou never lived in a group dormitory when he was in college, he still knew the situation of the boys' dormitory building. Imagine that if there was a dormitory living in a dormitory in this university dormitory, and there was a very beautiful girl, what would happen?
This is what Zhao Gongming just mentioned. There is a female disciple living in the small courtyard connected to the inner courtyard where they live, and she is also a beautiful female disciple. In addition to the female immortals, this is the only woman on this entire Tianshen Peak. It is conceivable that in this Tianshen Peak, where the yang energy is strong, the female disciple is so popular. Countless male disciples have tried their best to get close to her, giving things and helping her, just to be closer to her.
From this perspective, it is indeed a disguised benefit to be able to live in this inner courtyard.
"Isn't there only male disciples in Tianshen Peak? Why are there female disciples arranged to come to Tianshen Peak? And they live in the courtyard where male disciples gather?" Tianyou raised his doubts.
Zhao Gongming did not explain directly, but asked back: "Don't Brother Tianyou find it strange?"
“What’s strange about it?”
"Although most of the disciples living on the Tianshen Peak are weaker, they are all cultivators after all. Even if that senior sister is a natural beauty and has the advantage of being red from the green, she shouldn't be so popular, right? Why do we monks cannot be like that romantic young man?"
Zhao Gongming didn't say that Tianyou didn't think so much, and he also realized this point. Although monks can form Taoist couples and even use the two-person practice method with many benefits, they are people who cultivate themselves and have strong control over "desire" and should be more restrained. So many people shouldn't be so fanatical about pursuing a senior sister. This doesn't make sense and is not reasonable.
"Is there any other reason why that senior sister is popular?" Although Tianyou couldn't guess the reason for the moment, since Zhao Gongming said it, there must be something that he didn't know. He was too lazy to guess, so he simply asked directly.
Zhao Gongming didn't keep it a secret this time and said directly: "The reason is simple, it is because that senior sister is not an ordinary disciple, but a disciple who entered the house."
Tianyou is smart enough, and Zhao Gongming immediately understood the reason as soon as he reminded him.
"Which guru lives in that small courtyard?" Tianyou confirmed.
Zhao Gongming nodded and admitted. "That's right. This disciple of the house is different from me. The reason why they call the disciple of the house is because they live with the master, so they are called the disciple of the house. This senior sister Zhao Lingyun's master is the Master of the Nine Yang Realm, who is responsible for guiding the disciples with the flame attribute to sacrifice their natal magic weapons, so they live on this Tianshen Peak. As the disciple of the Nine Yang Realm, Senior Sister Lingyun naturally lives with her master to the Tianshen Peak. However, Senior Sister Lingyun is a girl after all, and it is not suitable to live with us, so she specially built a courtyard and an intermediate courtyard on the side of the inner courtyard."
After learning about this, Tianyou didn't ask more. He was not here to pick up girls, and even if there was a beautiful senior sister living near the dormitory, it was not something worth paying attention to. Of course, for some people, it was really necessary to pay attention.
Just as many people hope to marry a rich girl and work hard for twenty years less, there are still many monks who want to take shortcuts.
Zhao Lingyun is a disciple who is in the family, and his starting point is many times higher than that of ordinary disciples. If he can become a Taoist partner with her, all kinds of benefits will definitely come one after another. Moreover, being able to become a disciple of the family itself shows that Zhao Lingyun has excellent talent, and she is also a great beauty, so there are naturally many people who want to get close to her.
Tianyou didn't plan to make a fuss. Even Ying Ying and Bai Bingyu and others tried to avoid accepting the support from him, just to not want to owe too much people. The favors are the most difficult to pay off, so Tianyou tried not to owe him.
Taking the topic back to the main business again, Zhao Gongming took him to visit several leisure places at Tianyou's request.
Including the errands on Tianshen Peak, there are tens of thousands of people, so of course it is impossible to have no other living facilities. Of course, everyone is not here to live in Zixiao Palace, they are here to learn skills, so there are not many facilities.
The main living facilities on Tianshen Peak are shops, and the currency used is divided into two types - money and contribution points.
All you can buy with money are real daily necessities, such as clothing and utensils. The contribution point is relatively greater, and various cultivation resources and even demon pets can be purchased. However, only conventional consumables are sold on hills like Tianshen Peak, and resources with higher value need to be purchased in special places.
Tianyou knew a little about this so-called special place. Because Lu Meng was in the Treasure Vessel Sect, he had heard that almost all the decent magic weapons in the entire sect were concentrated in the headquarters of the Treasure Vessel Sect. As for buying demon pets, he naturally had to go to the Beast Control Sect.
Among the six Zixiao Sects, treasures, beast-controlling and alchemy cauldrons are all produced. Disciples can make various items and sell monsters to earn contribution points in the sect. The disciples of the other three sects can only earn contribution points by doing tasks.
Tianyou was not in a hurry to take on tasks and make money, but after walking around these stores, he found that his ideas seemed to be too simple.
He has Taiyi Sword to look forward to in terms of natal magic weapons, and the Emperor Dao Sword is also the substitute in case of the situation. In the demon pet, there are three demon pets, Yueying, Xuanfeng and Duobao. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing missing, but after looking at these shops carefully, he realized that what he lacks is not a little bit.
The spirit stones needed to be used during cultivation, the elixirs when injured, the spirit gathering talismans used to assist in cultivation, and even higher-level spirit gathering arrays, plus the contribution points needed to rent various cultivation facilities and borrow books. Tianyou found that if he wanted to make a personal appearance in Zixiao Palace, he could not avoid the contribution points at all. Of course, if he could have a master like Ji Yao who protects his calf like Chu Feifan, it would be a different matter.
Unfortunately, there are several examples of that situation. Although Tianyou has been loved by many immortals, no immortals will directly help him invest in various materials, because the task of the contribution point of the district sect is itself training disciples to help them apply what they have learned, so as to ensure that the disciples truly integrate the knowledge they have learned.
The practice similar to Ji Yao is completely spoiling, and it is actually not beneficial to Chu Feifan's future.
Tianyou also knew that taking on several tasks appropriately would help consolidate the foundation, but he felt that he didn't even have the foundation yet, and even if he had to build it, he had to wait a while before talking about it. But now it seems that this is really hard to wait, otherwise he would have no contribution points and he might have to slow down his cultivation to improve his speed at critical moments.
Tianyou is not worried that he has exceeded the age limit and his lifelong stuck at a certain stage will not be able to improve. What he is worried about is that the longer the time goes by, the less hope of seeing Xiyan will be. Although the Qiankun Bagua Mirror will not be able to find clues because of the long time, Xiyan's current situation is probably not too good. Tianyou is very worried that she will not be able to wait for the day when he finds her. Besides, even if she really finds it, what if Xiyan encounters trouble? With Tianyou's current strength, he is afraid that even if he knows that Xiyan is in trouble, he can't do anything. So, in the final analysis, improving her strength as soon as possible is Tianyou's top priority.
Of course, it is also necessary to talk to Ji Yao when you have time.
After a simple visit to Tianshen Peak, the three of them went to the dining hall for dinner together. The food was much worse than that of Tongzi Peak. Although the dishes were quite good, the taste was quite fatal, and they had the style of a legendary university cafeteria. Although Tianyou had been to college before traveling through time, he had never eaten in the cafeteria. He had heard that the university cafeteria has always been known for its poor taste. Unexpectedly, he had traveled through time, but he still couldn't escape the cafeteria.
After eating some, the three of them left the restaurant in disappointment. It is said that this meal is pretty good. Sometimes the food made in this restaurant is like poison, and they want to die after taking a bite. Today, this meal makes people feel better.
"The food in this restaurant is so unpalatable, hasn't anyone ever told Xianchang about it?" Tianyou asked while holding a bamboo tube while rinsing his mouth.
"Why didn't it?" Pang Dahai obviously felt a little indignant when he mentioned this. "Every time someone complained, the immortal chief would preach. He said that people who practiced should not pay attention to these external things, and greed for verbal desires are not good for practice. At first I believed it, but later I found that the immortal chiefs never dined in the dining hall. I woo..."
Before Pang Dahai could finish his speech, Zhao Gongming covered his mouth. "Do you guy, do you want to be driven out of the mountain gate?"
Tianyou also felt that Pang Dahai was a little too bold.
"Gongming is right, it would be better to talk less about this kind of thing in the future."
"Is what I said the truth?" Pang Dahai obviously understood this truth, but he was a little dissatisfied and muttered a few words and stopped talking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Tianyou began to change the topic and said to Zhao Gongming beside him: "Is your previous proposal still valid?"
"Proposal? What proposal?" Zhao Gongming didn't react for a moment. After asking a few questions, he realized that Tianyou was talking about cooperation to take on the task. He immediately said surprise: "Did you agree?"
"You are going to be deaf in your ears!" Pang Dahai was startled by Zhao Gongming, who was shocked and asked while cleaning his ears: "What are you talking about?"
"Take a task, sect mission." Zhao Gongming excitedly explained to Pang Dahai: "Isn't it a lack of sect contribution points when buying natal magic weapons? I'm going to pull Senior Brother Tianyou to do the mission together. There are many people and great power, so you can take on some tasks with slightly richer rewards, so you can accumulate contribution points faster."
"Really?" Pang Dahai was also excited when he heard this, and quickly grabbed Tianyou to confirm, "Tianyou, do you really want to cooperate with us to take on the mission?"
"Of course. I need to contribute anyway." After saying that, Tianyou suddenly pressed Zhao Gongming and Pang Dahai, who were obviously in an excited state, and then said seriously: "You guys calm down first. I can take on the task with you, but I have the conditions."
"You said. We all listen to you." Zhao Gongming and Pang Dahai have seen various ideas about Tianyou during the introductory assessment, and the facts have proved that Tianyou is more comprehensive than they thought. It just so happens that they are not the kind of person who likes to compete for the initiative. It would be just right to have Tianyou, a good brain, help. In short, it would be better to follow Tianyou and not suffer any losses.
Tianyou was not polite to them, and immediately said after nodding: "Okay, since you agree, then we will make three rules. Article 1. I don't care if you take on the task alone, but as long as you form a team with me, I have the final say on what task to take and when to take it."
"No problem." Zhao Gongming agreed very readily.
"Article 2. Obey my command during the mission, and you must do whatever you want. If you are disobedient, don't expect me to go on a mission with you again in the future."
“This is nature.”
"Very good. The last one. Brothers settle accounts clearly. The task rewards are allocated according to the actual contribution of the individual to the task. I have determined the amount ratio. You can raise objections, but if I persist, I have to allocate according to my requirements, otherwise there will be no next task."
"OK."
"Happy cooperation." Tianyou stretched out a palm, Zhao Gongming immediately reached out to cover it, and Pang Dahai quickly placed his hand on the top.
After the agreement was reached, the three-person hand had not yet let go, and suddenly there was a commotion coming from the front, and then I saw many brothers around running forward.
"What's wrong?" Tianyou asked in confusion.
Zhao Gongming, who was standing beside him, said as if he was used to it: "It's the Senior Sister Zhao I told you before."
"You mean the senior sister named Zhao Lingyun?"
"Yes." Zhao Gongming nodded and said, "She returns to her yard at this time every day, and she passes by the outer yard in the middle. Many fellows will take this opportunity to peek at her."
"It's all senior and sisters. If you want to see it, just watch it openly. Why do you have to steal it?"
"This... I can't explain it clearly in a few words. Anyway, you will know when you see her later." Zhao Gongming said as he pulled Tianyou and ran to the inner courtyard where they lived, shouting, "It's rare that we live in the inner courtyard. Come over quickly. There are few people there, so you can see it clearly."
Chapter completed!
