Chapter 342: Tasks
Under Shang Xianyue"s pressure, they started to sweat profusely. One of them hurriedly said, "One of us had a quarrel with him and wanted to cut off one of his arms. We did not want to take his life. Although we did not succeed, even if have succeeded, his arm could have been grown out after eating a pill."
Ye Xiao laughed coldly, "He wanted to cut my arm off and I wanted to cut off his head. Now that I have succeeded, you guys can give him pills and let his head grow out again."
"Nonsense, he is already dead, how can his head grow out?" That man said angrily.
"That"s your problem then. As for your argument, we are all smart people, don"t use such lousy excuses to insult everyone"s intelligence. Everyone here has seen all the things that have happened here." Ye Xiao said blandly.
Hearing Ye Xiao"s words, the man started sweating profusely. With so many people watching them, making up excuses was such a waste of time.
Ye Xiao ignored them and coldly looked at the bald old man with his eyes. "No wonder you are bald. You, a Late Stage Immortal Lord Realm expert, your skin must be thick enough to sneak an attack on me. I have seen many shameless people but I have never seen a person as shameless as you."
The bald Elder Yu had a dull expression on his face. He coldly said, "I saw that you still wanted to kill when others were powerless to resist. I attacked you because I wanted to save others. If resentment arose in your heart, it would be up to you!"
Just as he was about to retort back, Shang Xianyue suddenly said, "Let"s just let this matter go. You all have pa.s.sed the test. Congratulations on becoming outer sect disciples."
Looking at the crowd, Shang Xianyue continued to speak. "Next up, as outer sect disciples, you will be given benefits every month. As for the specific details, Elder Qi will explain them in detail."
After Shang Xianyue finished speaking, Elder Qi signed each jade and recorded down the rules and benefits of the Sect.
Eldest Miss whispered into Ye Xiao"s ear: "Master said that Elder Yu is the trusted aide of another Elder whose position in the sect is also very high. Without any real evidence, she cannot punish him and my master told you to be careful when you enter the outer sect."
"You have to be especially careful from Elder Yu. His faction has many outstanding experts. Although he cannot openly deal with you, he could pull up dirty tricks, so you have to be careful."
Ye Xiao secretly shook his head in his heart and sighed.
"Oh right, Master said that Elder Yu has a close relationship with Gong Family. It is very possible that he is doing this for Gong Tian!" Eldest Miss suddenly said.
"Mn, I will be careful. Eldest Miss, don"t worry, I will be fine. You have to be careful too. Core disciples don"t have to be so relaxed, after all, the compet.i.tion between core disciples will be too intense. Although you have your master as your backing, you should still be careful in all matters!" Ye Yang warned.
This person also had times when he was concerned about others. It was rare to see such a thing. The eldest miss slightly nodded her head.
After speaking with Ye Xiao and warning the other three companions, she returned to her master"s side. Shang Xianyue brought everyone and stepped onto the Transportation Formation.
In front of them was a completely different scene. Mountains continued to stretch outwards covering an area of several tens of hundreds of kilometers. There were many pavilions surrounded by thick spirit energy.
Ye Xiao was shocked to realize that the spirit energy here was denser than outside by tens of times.
Following that, Shang Xianyue brought the Eldest Miss and the other core disciples away, leaving only Elder Qi and the other outer disciples behind.
"As outer sect disciples, your duties will be announced by the deacons. Those who are called will receive their residence plates and this month"s rewards." With that, Elder Qi handed over the cloth bags one by one to every disciple.
The cloth bag was similar to a spatial bag. Although it wasn"t big, it could contain quite a few things.
When one of them was given to Ye Xiao, Elder Qi secretly sent a sound transmission to him, saying, "Be careful in the outer sect. If there is any danger, you can come to find me in the inner sect."
Ye Xiao could not help but nod his head. It seemed like the Eldest Miss was truly capable. Opening the cloth bag, he saw a jade bottle. Opening the bottle, there was a round pill inside. Ye Xiao slightly shook his head and without looking at it, he threw it back into the bottle.
This pill was something that could help one break the barrier blocking one"s cultivation from reaching the higher stage of their cultivation realm.
Other than the pills, there were three fist-sized crystal stones that emitted a dense amount of spirit energy. These stones were called the Immortal Stones.
This thing was actually a good thing. Ye Xiao had already inquired about it before. The Immortal Stone can be used as currency in the Upper Realm. It can also be absorbed by one to recover the used-up spirit energy.
The Immortal Stones were just like Spirit Stones. It was just that the Spirit Energy contained by the Immortal Stone was tens of times denser than that of Spirit Stones.
Other than these, there were two other Secret Techniques and one cultivation Method. Regarding the cultivation method, Ye Xiao did not need to look at it anymore.
He already has the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. So, he does not need any other cultivation technique.
Suddenly, a tall and skinny guy shouted at the crowd, "All of you follow me!"
Everyone was confused but seeing that the tall and skinny man"s expression was not too good, they chose to follow him without asking any questions.
The tall skinny man led the group to a secluded area in the back of the mountain. A wooden house appeared in front of them. It was short, shabby, and exuded a musty smell.
"This will be your place of residence from now on. We have a number on it and you can start from here. Also, let me introduce myself, my name is Gao Shou, you can call me Deacon Gao, I will be in charge of everything you do. I want to remind you all that this is the Dragon Immortal Sect, not your own home. Don"t cause trouble otherwise, don"t blame me for not showing mercy!"
"You, there, what does the sneer on your face mean? Are you doubting what I just said?" Deacon Gao suddenly pointed at Ye Xiao and shouted.
Ye Xiao was slightly stunned. He never showed any emotion on his face. This guy was obviously looking for trouble with him.
"I am not sneering. Deacon, you saw wrong!" Ye Xiao said as he shook his head.
"How bold of you. You still dare talk back to me. I definitely did not see wrongly, and also, you have to call me master deacon from now on." That deacon glared at Ye Xiao and an aura belonging to a Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm martial artist pressured on Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao"s expression was a little strange. This deacon was obviously trying to pick a fight with him.
He could only helplessly nod his head and say, "I understand!"
The deacon was slightly surprised but his heart still felt comfortable listening to it. He secretly praised Ye Xiao for being sensible. To have the effect of establishing authority so quickly, it would be much more convenient to manage this batch of new disciples in the future.
Considering how young you are, I will not bother about you anymore. Don"t worry, I am not an unreasonable person. As long as you obediently listen to me and do not make things difficult for me, I will not make things difficult for you."
Following that, the deacon chanted a lot of stuff, making Ye Xiao"s eyes widen. He actually arranged for them to either clean up the outer courtyard or raise Immortal Beasts and other miscellaneous jobs.
Ye Xiao could not help but be dumbstruck. How did he end up as a worker?
Originally, the position of an outer disciple was very low. They needed to do some odd jobs in the Dragon Immortal Sect in order to receive benefits which were equivalent to half work and half study.
However, once an outer court disciple breaks through to the Immortal Lord Realm, they can enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple.
After receiving their tasks, everyone started to return to the wooden house arranged for them by the Dragon Immortal Sect.
