The next morning, as expected, Fang Wen prepared a few breakfast items for Ling Feng. Although the ingredients were limited and all were things she carried with her, they were quite tasty.
After eating the food personally cooked by Fang Wen, Ling Feng felt fortunate for the first ti to have accepted this maid.
This woman truly had so real skills.
Although at their level, a martial artist like them could basically live without eating grains, good food was still a pleasure.
"Because the ingredients aren’t very fresh, I could only make this. Later, when I beco more familiar with the Outer Sect, I should be able to find the Outer Disciple trading market."
Fang Wen looked nervously at Ling Feng, as her only skill to rely on was her culinary expertise.
"Hmm, it’s already quite good."
Ling Feng nodded and smiled, which allowed Fang Wen to breathe a sigh of relief. At least, she had proven her worth.
After breakfast, a sound of drums could be heard from outside, signaling the gathering of new disciples.
Fong Ling had arrived early in the Earth Realm, as she was responsible for inducting this group of new disciples and naturally arranged their daily tasks for them.
Once the tasks were assigned, she wouldn’t have to shuttle between the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Realm repeatedly.
However, after completing this task, she could also receive many sect rewards. Otherwise, these high-ranking Inner Sect disciples wouldn’t bother wasting ti coming to the Earth Realm again and again.
"All new recruits, get up for ! Starting today, I’m assigning you daily tasks. You must complete your daily tasks to start your cultivation!"
Under Fong Ling’s command, the new disciples began to gradually erge from their thatched huts.
Most of them looked haggard, clearly not having rested well in such a harsh environnt and due to the previous night’s repeated disturbances.
Fong Ling instinctively looked towards the thatched hut where Ling Feng resided, unsure of which daily task this slightly special newcor might choose. She wondered if she should find a chance to make things difficult for this guy, set him straight, and see if he remains arrogant!
But after watching for a while, Ling Feng still did not co out of the hut.
"What’s this kid up to?"
Fong Ling furrowed her brows, pushed open the door of Ling Feng’s hut with a shove, swept her gaze around the room, but did not see Ling Feng’s figure.
"Hmm?"
Fong Ling was slightly confused. Not here?
"Hey, Sister Fong Ling, are you looking for ?"
Suddenly, Ling Feng’s voice ca from behind. Fong Ling turned to look, only to see Ling Feng popping up from nowhere, smiling at her, with a very ek woman standing closely behind him.
The surrounding newcors were all staring at Ling Feng, eyes filled with a look of envy, jealousy, and resentnt, almost carved into their faces.
Ling Feng had co out with Fang Wen from the Mingjian Building. Although Ling Feng had a clear conscience, so couldn’t help but think otherwise.
On just the first day, not only did he secure a spot in the Earth-level Mingjian Building, but he also won over the most beautiful female disciple among the new recruits, which seed a bit too ideal!
"Hmph!"
Fong Ling glared at Ling Feng, "Hey, where did you pop out from, kid?"
Ling Feng pointed to the row of Mingjian Towers on the high slope, and said casually, "Had good luck last night, defeated the leader of the 200th Mingjian Building and moved in."
Fong Ling’s eye twitched slightly. On the first day, he defeated the leader of the Mingjian Building. This kid is stronger than expected!
No wonder he’s so arrogant!
"Hmph!" Fong Ling snorted, "Just 200th place, nothing impressive. Even if you live in the Earth-level Mingjian Building, you still have to do your daily tasks."
Ling Feng chuckled lightly, nodding repeatedly in agreent.
Fong Ling rolled her eyes at Ling Feng, creased her brows, and said slowly, "Today, I’ll assign daily tasks. You can choose to fertilize and catch bugs in the Spiritual dicine Garden, or feed Spirit Pets in the Spiritual Beast Garden. You can also choose to help in the Alchemy Room, assist with engraving in the Array Pattern Hall, or mine in the Spirit Stone Mine."
"Among these, mining is the hardest work, but the reward is relatively higher, about thirty percent more than other tasks. Alright, you can choose now."
The disciples began choosing in a cacophony of voices.
Most chose the Spiritual dicine Garden or the Spiritual Beast Garden. These jobs have the least technical content, whereas the Alchemy Room and the Array Pattern Hall require so accomplishnt in alchemy or arrays. Without such skills, the tasks can’t be completed.
The consequence of failing to complete tasks is a reduction in cultivation materials, or even being thrown into the Black Abyss.
Fang Wen hesitated, glanced at Ling Feng. Ling Feng let her choose for herself without considering him, so she bit her lip and chose to catch bugs in the Spiritual dicine Garden.
"Hey, Ling Feng, what are you choosing?"
Seeing that Ling Feng hadn’t yet chosen, Fong Ling couldn’t help but remind, "Every hall’s slots are limited. If you don’t choose now, I will assign you."
Ling Feng smiled lightly, "Then I’ll help in the Alchemy Room."
"Alchemy Room?"
Several veteran disciples watching couldn’t help but snicker.
This kid doesn’t know the aning of the word ’danger’!
Among all the daily tasks, the Alchemy Room task is one nobody wants to choose. It’s practically a bottomless pit, consuming a lot of energy every day, leaving you too exhausted to cultivate afterwards.
Those who chose the Alchemy Room usually couldn’t survive the first-year assessnt, turning into chores people, or being kicked out.
In the East Spirit Immortal Pond Outer Sect, there’s a saying, "The ironclad Alchemy Room, the flowing disciples," aning once you enter the Alchemy Room, you’re just waiting to be dismissed!
By contrast, they’d rather mine because although it’s laborious, perseverance brings more cultivation resources and a chance to erge.
"Alchemy Room?" Fong Ling smiled secretly, "Hey, you picked it yourself?"
"Yes, my choice."
Ling Feng shrugged. With his mastery in alchemy, while the Alchemy Room might be a nightmare for ordinary disciples, it was a suitable place for him.
"Heh heh."
Fong Ling smiled slightly. Once everyone had chosen, she announced, "Now I’ll invite several Inner Sect senior brothers and sisters to escort you to your task locations. You few, follow !"
Fong Ling gestured for Ling Feng and others to follow her, obviously planning to personally take them to the Alchemy Room.
Ultimately, only three people chose the Alchemy Room. Besides Ling Feng, there were two other disciples, both last-minute fills for the Alchemy Room, each with a woeful expression, evidently knowing the terrifying reputation of the Alchemy Room.
Only Ling Feng, arms crossed, wore a calm and collected expression, forming a sharp contrast with his companions.
"Hmph, annoying punk, flaunt while you can, but when you reach the Alchemy Room, we’ll see if you’re still so cocky!"
Fong Ling laughed quietly to herself: This ti, let him learn the harsh reality!
