Hui De was a knowledgeable person. He looked at the bowl and sighed, "It's really a good item. Is it an artifact? Or a defensive artifact? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly at Hui De and said, "Right, this is an artifact left behind by my Master. This is the only artifact left behind by my Master."
Hui De nodded and said, "My Master must have been a Senior Monk." Then he didn't say anything else. He waved his hand as another bowl appeared in his hand. This bowl wasn't as big as Zhao Hai's, but it was dark gold in color. It was also very beautiful.
Zhao Hai was also a discerning person. At a glance, he could see that Hui De's bowl was a very good artifact. Its material was very good. This bowl should be able to attack and defend at the same time.
However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. He just stood there in line. Before long, they arrived in front of the large wooden barrels. Each barrel was filled with rice. However, the rice wasn't spirit rice or anything like that. It was just some spirit rice mixed with some coarse rice. This was already very good. One must know that a lot of Rogue Cultivators haven't eaten spirit rice in their entire lives. The Sealing Sword Sect was actually willing to put spirit rice in their food. This was already very good.
Zhao Hai lifted the bowl over. The monk in charge of the rice scooped two spoonfuls of rice for Zhao Hai. Most people can only get one spoonful. However, it was clear that he saw that Zhao Hai's body was quite strong. Therefore, he scooped two spoonfuls for Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything. In fact, one spoonful or two spoonfuls was enough for him to eat. The other barrels were filled with vegetables. Zhao Hai lifted the bowl over. Each of them scooped a spoonful of vegetables for Zhao Hai. This meal was over.
Zhao Hai took the bowl and walked to the side. Then he took out a wooden spoon and ate. Most of the other monks did the same as Zhao Hai.
While Zhao Hai was eating, three large barrels were placed in the courtyard. One was placed further away while the other two were placed closer. Zhao Hai discovered that one of the barrels was empty. As for the other two, one was filled with cold water while the other was filled with hot water.
Zhao didn't understand, but soon he understood. Not far away, there was a monk who had finished his meal, but he couldn't finish it. The monk went to the big wooden bucket and poured the leftover rice into it. Then he went to the big bucket of cold water and used a wooden spoon to scoop some water to wash his bowl. Then he went to the hot water bucket, filled it with hot water, and took it to the side to drink.
At this time, the other monks were also doing the same. Zhao Hai understood what the buckets were for. Zhao Hai ate very quickly, it didn't take long for him to finish his meal. Then he washed the bowl and filled it with hot water.
While Zhao Hai was drinking, Hui De also came over. Hui De looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Master Jing Hai just came to Sealed Sword City. There might be some things that you don't know. I've been in Sealed Sword City for a long time. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me directly."
Zhao Hai gave Hui De a salute and said, "I have something I want to ask Master Hui De. Master Hui De, do you know if there are any places around Sealed Sword City that are suitable for adventuring?"
When Hui De heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "That's simple. Outside of Sealed Sword City are three mountains, the Extreme Martial Mountain, the Martial King Mountain, and the Profound Moon Mountain. On these three mountains, there are countless treasures and beasts. If you really want to go on an adventure, you can go hunting in the mountains. If you don't want to take risks, you can also become a guard for some small caravans in the city. Because Sealed Sword City is located in an important area, there are a lot of caravans that pass through the city every day. Many small caravans can't afford to hire a guard, so they need to hire some temporary guards. Master Jing Hai can participate in this. If Master Jing Hai doesn't want to go alone, then I can introduce you to the other monks in the courtyard. They also do this for a living.
When Zhao Hai heard Hui De, he quickly said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Hui De. This Little Monk is alone, it's better for me to go with everyone."
Hui De nodded and said, "Master Jing Hai, come with me. It just so happens that the monks in the courtyard have returned. I'll introduce you to them." Zhao Hai quickly complied, then he stood up and drank the water in the bowl before following Hui De.
While walking forward, Hui De said to Zhao Hai, "The Gathering of Monks is a group of monks in the city. There are a lot of them, about 500 of them. They are made up of Rogue Monks like you and me. The reason why we formed this group is because we can't do anything about it. Although we don't have to worry about food and clothing in Sealed Sword City, if we want to cultivate, we need other resources. We can't get these resources for free, so we have to do some missions and take risks. We might not be in danger in the city, but outside the city, we'll be in danger. There are a lot of monks who died outside the city. So we had to unite and slowly, the Gathering of Monks was born."
Hui De let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, "The Gathering of Monks is actually a very loose organization. Most of us live here. We communicate with each other like friends. Whenever there is a time, we will go out to do missions together. There are no clear conditions for joining or quitting because after everyone receives a mission, the crystal stones obtained will be evenly distributed. However, if someone accepts a mission, he or she can get 10% more crystal stones as a reward and the rest will be equally distributed. If you go out on an adventure, it depends on the situation. I was one of the founders of the Gathering of Monks, but now I don't go out to do missions. Today I'm introducing you to everyone so that everyone can get to know you and understand your strength. If there is a mission in the future, we can call you. If you want to go on an adventure, you can also call people and we can act together."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he followed Hui De forward. Before long, they arrived at the first courtyard. At this time, there were a lot of monks sitting in the courtyard. Some of them were chanting with their eyes closed while others were discussing the Dao in groups of twos and threes. They looked very leisurely.
Hui De entered the courtyard and glanced at the monks. He chanted the name of Buddha and said, "Amitabha. Masters, this is Master Jing Hai who just hung the tin in this courtyard. He also wants to join our gathering of monks. Please take care of him in the future."
When Zhao Hai heard Hui De, he also chanted Buddha's name. Then he put his palms together and said, "Jing Hai greets Masters. This little Monk has just arrived at Sealed Sword City. I hope that Masters can take care of me."
When the monks in the courtyard heard Zhao Hai's words, a lot of them gathered around him. Several monks also put their palms together as they gave Zhao Hai a salute. One of the monks with a round face smiled at Zhao Hai and said, "This Monk Yuan Jing has seen Master Jinghai. Welcome to Sealed Sword City. I hope that Master Jinghai can take care of me in the future." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Master Jinghai, I'm Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing had a round face, and he was also a little fat. When he smiled, his eyes disappeared, making him look very amusing. He gave off a very friendly feeling. However, Zhao Hai didn't dare look down on this fat monk. This was because he discovered that this monk's strength had reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining. He could be considered an expert in the courtyard.
Zhao Hai quickly put his palms together and said, "Master Yuan Jing is too polite. This little Monk has just arrived. I hope that Masters can take care of me in the future."
Yuan Jing smiled faintly and said, "Well said, well said. How strong is Master Jing Hai? What kind of Secret Art do you specialize in? "
Zhao Hai was stunned. One must know that most people didn't want others to know their strength. As for what Secret Art they specialize in, they wouldn't tell others. That would be tantamount to telling others about their low cards. It wouldn't do them any good. However, he glanced around and found that everyone was looking at him, as if they were waiting for him to say it. Even Hui De didn't stop him. He knew that he had to say it. It seemed that this was related to what kind of task he would receive in the future.
Zhao Hai put his palms together and said, "This little Monk is a Body Cultivator. I have the strength of a Ninth Order Qi Refining Realm cultivator. I specialize in close combat!"
Zhao Hai reported a level that wasn't low. In fact, his current physical strength was indeed around the Ninth Order Qi Refining Realm. If he didn't use any Secret Arts, he wouldn't be able to use his full strength in close combat. Then, his strength hadn't reached the Qi Refining Realm. So, what he said wasn't wrong.
When Yuan Jing heard Zhao Hai say this, he was even happier. He nodded and said, "That's the best. Master Jing Hai, I really do have a task here. We will set off the day after tomorrow to Xun River City. We need a total of twenty people. I wonder if Master Jing Hai is interested in joining?"
When Zhao Hai heard Yuan Jing say this, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Dare I ask Master Yuan Jing, how much is the reward? How long will this trip take? "
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "From here to Xun River City, it will take about twenty days. On this trip, each person will receive ten second-class Crystal Stones. I wonder if Master Jing Hai is willing to join?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, "This Little Monk is willing to go. Many thanks, Senior Brother Yuan Jing. When we set off the day after tomorrow, please call me."
The smile on Yuan Jing's face widened. He hurriedly said, "That's the best. When we set off the day after tomorrow, I will call Master Jing Hai." After he finished speaking, he put his palms together and bowed to Zhao Hai. Then, he turned around and left. As he left, a few monks around him also left.
After Yuan Jing left, Hui De opened his mouth and said, "Master Jing Hai, this Monk Yuan Jing is one of the more capable ones among the monks. He can always receive tasks. Moreover, the tasks that he receives aren't too dangerous and the rewards aren't low. He also takes care of the monks in the group. I believe that it would be best for you to go with him. Then, this Little Monk will take his leave. I wish Master Jing Hai that this mission will go smoothly." After he finished speaking, Hui De put his palms together and bowed to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai also quickly put his palms together and bowed back. He said in a deep voice, "Many thanks, Master Hui De." The two of them said a Buddhist prayer before turning around and parting ways.
