After waking up, Zhao Hai calculated the time. He discovered that it should still be daytime in the underground world, but it should be getting dark soon. He got up from the bed and said, "Open the door." Following his voice, the door to the tomb silently opened.
Zhao Hai walked out of the tomb and followed the route provided by the jade slip. After making seven or eight turns, he arrived at a huge tomb.
This tomb wasn't a room, but a dining hall for the outer disciples of the Battle Corpse Sect. At this moment, there were many outer disciples eating in the dining hall. These people were familiar with each other, and some of them were even joking with each other. The atmosphere of the dining hall was very good.
Zhao Hai's arrival didn't attract the attention of these people. Zhao Hai looked at the dining hall and then walked inside. There was a bar with some cultivators standing there. Zhao Hai knew the rules of this place from the jade slip. As long as you tell them what you want to eat, they will prepare it for you. However, there was one thing: the food here had to be paid. Aside from the first month, after a month, you have to pay for every meal.
It can be said that in the Battle Corpse Sect, if you don't think of ways to make money, then don't talk about cultivation, you will starve to death. This was because there was nothing free in the Battle Corpse Sect, except for the room.
Cultivation methods cost money, magic tools cost money, pills cost money, food cost money, everything cost money. Without money, you couldn't survive in the Battle Corpse Sect.
Although the Battle Corpse Sect's approach seemed to be a dead man's money, Zhao Hai understood what was going on. The Battle Corpse Sect wasn't doing this for money. What they wanted was a motivation, a motivation that would make the cultivators of the Battle Corpse Sect work hard to move forward.
In the Battle Corpse Sect, it was easy to spend money, and it wasn't hard to earn money either. You can do missions, all kinds of missions. As long as you complete a mission, the sect will give you money. You can use the money to do whatever you want. You can exchange it for cultivation methods, eat good food, and do whatever you want.
The more difficult the mission, the higher the reward. If you can reach the Teleportation Realm, then congratulations, you won't need to spend a single cent in the Battle Corpse Sect.
Zhao Hai came here today to eat. This could be considered as taking care of the newcomers. All the newcomers of the Battle Corpse Sect had free food for the first month. In other words, even if you don't have a single cent in your hand, you won't starve to death. But if you don't have a cent in a month, then you will starve to death.
Zhao Hai went to the counter and took out his jade token. Then he handed it to the person behind the counter and said, "Two side dishes and a pot of good wine."
The cultivator behind the counter took Zhao Hai's jade token and couldn't help but stare. Then he chuckled and said, "So it's a newcomer. The side dishes are easy, but the good wine is something you have to pay for. How about it?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Just take it."
When the cultivator heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Good kid. Interesting, very interesting. Alright, wait here." After saying that, he turned and walked into a room behind the bar. After a while, he came out with a large tray. On the tray, there was a wine jug, a wine glass, a small plate, a pair of chopsticks, and two side dishes.
The side dishes were very good. Zhao Hai could smell their fragrance from afar. The cultivator gave the tray to Zhao Hai and said, "Five Jade Essences." Zhao Hai took out five pieces of Jade Essences and gave them to the cultivator. Then he took the tray and left.
After the cultivator received the Jade Essences, he looked at Zhao Hai's back and smiled. He knew that today was the day of the assessment. However, new cultivators would be nervous. Many cultivators would come here to eat the next day. Moreover, the assessment this time was very strict. A lot of cultivators were seriously injured and needed some time to heal. Because of this, no newcomers would come here to eat. Of course, Zhao Hai was an exception.
On the first day of joining the sect, Zhao Hai swaggered to the restaurant. Not only did he want to eat, but he also wanted to drink. This was the first time the cultivator saw such a newcomer. Because of this, he became even more curious about Zhao Hai.
In fact, the news of today's assessment had already spread throughout the Battle Corpse Sect. Everyone knew that someone had passed the assessment without suffering any injuries. Although his method was somewhat tricky, one had to admit that he did have some tricks up his sleeves.
Zhao Hai calmly ate his meal and then returned to his room to rest. From beginning to end, besides the cultivator who brought the dishes, Zhao Hai didn't talk to anyone. However, a lot of cultivators began to pay attention to him.
Zhao Hai didn't look like a newcomer at all. There were several restaurants like this in the Battle Corpse Sect. However, the people eating here were all seniors of the sect. None of them had seen Zhao Hai before. It would be strange if they weren't curious about Zhao Hai.
After Zhao Hai left, they immediately asked someone about Zhao Hai's origin. In the end, they found out that Zhao Hai was a newcomer. This made them even more curious.
Zhao Hai didn't care so much. The next day, he went to see the Devil Gang's elder. This time, among the ten people from the Devil Gang, only Zhao Hai passed. The other nine were all dead. Although only one person passed, the Devil Gang's elder wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, he was very happy.
The elder said a few words to Zhao Hai. He also mentioned the names of a few cultivators from the Devil Gang who were cultivating in the Battle Corpse Sect. Only then did he leave the Battle Corpse Sect.
After the elder left, Zhao Hai had nothing to do. He began to understand the Battle Corpse Sect. Naturally, he didn't want to understand everything about the Battle Corpse Sect. He just wanted to know where he lived in the Battle Corpse Sect and what kind of people lived around him.
After walking around his place for five days, Zhao Hai finally figured out where he lived. The place he lived in now was the periphery of the huge tomb. This place was specially prepared for Outer Disciples. There were a lot of Outer Disciples living here. There were twelve places like the one he lived in in the Battle Corpse Sect. He lived in the third area. In the Battle Corpse Sect's words, this was the Blood Area.
The outer sect disciples of the Battle Corpse Sect lived in twelve regions, and each region had a word as its name. They were Corpse, Mountain, Blood, Sea, Powder, Body, Shatter, Bone, Battle, Heaven, Battle, and Earth. Zhao Hai lived in the Blood Area.
Although the Battle Corpse Sect accepted a thousand disciples this time, not all of them lived in the Blood Area. Some of them were assigned to other areas.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't in the mood to care about the whereabouts of the newcomers. He had been here for five days. It was time to do missions.
Although Zhao Hai had money to spend even if he just lay there and did nothing, he didn't want people to suspect him. Therefore, he still had to do missions. One must know that he was known as a mission maniac in the Devil Gang. If he stopped doing missions after arriving at the Battle Corpse Sect, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't arouse suspicion.
On the sixth day, Zhao Hai arrived at the Mission Hall early in the morning. There were a lot of people in the Mission Hall. There were also a lot of missions. Not only can you accept missions here, you can also issue missions here. This was the main source of income for the Battle Corpse Sect's Outer Disciples. Therefore, there were a lot of people here.
Zhao Hai sized up the Mission Hall. To be honest, other than having more people and a bigger room, there wasn't any difference between this Mission Hall and the Devil Gang's Mission Hall. Zhao Hai looked at the people in the Mission Hall. They were all looking for missions. No one was paying attention to him.
At this time, Zhao Hai suddenly heard a voice, "A high-level mission requires a total of five people. Is there anyone willing to participate?"
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but stare. He didn't think that he would be able to form a team to complete missions here. While he was in a daze, a few people had already gathered around the person who shouted. Before long, the six of them left the Mission Hall.
Zhao Hai shook his head. He now understood that before he joined the Devil Gang, he couldn't form a team with anyone. This was because he might be plotted against. After arriving at the Devil Gang, although the Devil Gang issued some missions, as long as it was a mission that required a team, it would generally be issued by the Sect. It was almost impossible to form a team by oneself.
But now that he thought about it, the Battle Corpse Sect was different from the Devil Gang. The people of the Battle Corpse Sect were stronger. Moreover, for a large Sect like the Battle Corpse Sect, their disciples would have more freedom. Therefore, it wasn't a big deal for them to form a team.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but look around the Mission Hall. To be honest, Zhao Hai was more interested in missions that were of little value in the eyes of others. For example, there were missions that required you to find medicinal herbs. For some Cultivators, such missions were of little value. Finding medicinal herbs might be dangerous, but the rewards for such missions weren't very high. Moreover, finding medicinal herbs would take a long time. This was what Cultivators were most unwilling to accept.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai was very interested in such missions. This was because such missions had more freedom. Generally, there wouldn't be a strict time limit. This way, he would have more time to do his own things.
After looking around the Mission Hall for a long time, Zhao Hai finally found a mission that he was very interested in. This wasn't a difficult mission. The mission was to find a type of ore. Moreover, the location of the ore was also given. As long as one found this ore, the mission would be completed. The reward for this mission was 100 pieces of Jade Essence. There was no time limit. This was exactly what Zhao Hai wanted.
For ordinary Cultivators, this kind of mission wasn't very attractive. This was because a mission with no time limit would generally take a lot of time to complete. Although Cultivators had a long lifespan, no one would waste their time on a mission with only 100 pieces of Jade Essence. Therefore, this mission had been hanging there for many days, but still, no one came to accept it.
Zhao Hai didn't care so much as he directly accepted the mission. Then under the gaze of the female cultivator who issued the mission, Zhao Hai left the Mission Hall.
After leaving the Mission Hall, Zhao Hai carefully looked at the mission again. Then he returned to his room and tidied up. Then he left the Battle Corpse Sect's Main Hall and went straight to the location stated on the mission.
Just as Zhao Hai left, Wei Tiande was talking to someone in his room. It was a young Cultivator. If Zhao Hai was here, he would definitely recognize this person. This person was one of the people who stared at him in the Mission Hall.
Wei Tiande looked at the person and said, "You said that Zhao Ling took a mission to find an ore? Has he already left the Main Hall? "
The person nodded and said, "Yes, Elder. He has indeed left. The mission to find an ore has been hanging in the Mission Hall for almost a month. If no one accepts it, then it will be taken down. This kind of mission has a small reward and a long time, so no one wants to do it. Zhao Ling spent a long time in the Mission Hall before choosing this mission. This kid really doesn't understand what's going on."
Wei Tiande also frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I heard that this kid was a famous mission maniac when he was in the Devil Gang. He could do three or four missions a day without a problem. How could he be so blind as to choose such a mission? It's too strange. Alright, you can leave now. If there's anything else, report to me. "The Cultivator nodded and turned around to leave.
Wei Tiande sat there with a puzzled expression on his face. He muttered, "What is this kid trying to do? It's too strange. It seems like I need to observe him for a while. "
Wei Tiande observed Zhao Hai not because he thought that Zhao Hai was suspicious. On the contrary, he admired Zhao Hai. He admired Zhao Hai's calm performance during the assessment. It was because of this that Wei Tiande observed Zhao Hai and paid attention to him. He wanted to know if Zhao Hai could inherit his legacy.
In the past five days, Wei Tiande thought that Zhao Hai's actions were very normal. When a Cultivator arrives in a completely unfamiliar place, they must be careful and carefully observe their surroundings. This point was very correct.
But the next task that Zhao accepted made Wei Tiande somewhat confused. He had already heard about Zhao from the elders of the Devil Clan. Naturally, Wei Tiande also knew that Zhao was a quest maniac. But if Zhao was really that powerful, then why would he give such a task to Wei Tiande? Wei Tiande couldn't help but wonder. Wei Tiande had already heard that Zhao wasn't just a quest maniac, but that his vision for a task was very accurate. But if Zhao was really that powerful, then why would he give such a task? It was too strange.
Wei Tiande certainly wouldn't have thought that Zhao Hai's main purpose in accepting this task wasn't the reward. For him, the jade essence was no different from the stone. The main reason he accepted this task was because of the ore. He wanted more things for the space, so that the space could be more complete.
