The duties of the new disciples were basically all assigned. It could be said that one family was happy while the other was sad.
There were only a few people who were actually assigned good jobs.
But they didn't have a choice. As outer disciples and newcomers, they belonged to the most marginalized circle of the Clan.
The unluckiest ones were Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan, they had to do the dirtiest and most tiring jobs. Under this situation, it was hard for them to find time to cultivate.
After the announcement, the Deputy Deacon put away the book in his hand and was about to leave.
Ah?
Zhao Feng was dazed as he stood on the spot.
Why didn't he have a job?
Whether it was Yun Mengxiang, Xiao Sun, Yang Qingshan or Nan Gongfan, they had all been given jobs.
But the Deputy Deacon didn't mention Zhao Feng at all.
"Wait! Deacon! "
Zhao Feng called out to Deputy Deacon Wang.
"What's the matter? I'm only in charge of announcing the job, the others will take care of it. "
Deputy Deacon Wang's face was filled with displeasure as he glanced at Zhao Feng.
The morning breeze around them suddenly fell silent.
An invisible spiritual pressure was faintly discernible, surrounding the surroundings.
The crowd's breathing quickened as they felt uneasy. Only now did they realize that the person standing opposite them was the Vice Deacon of the Sect.
Of course, there were also some who looked at Zhao Feng gloatingly.
This included Liu Yue 'er, but she was also worried for Zhao Feng.
"May I ask why Deputy Deacon Wang didn't announce my job?"
Zhao Feng's words were cautious and respectful.
He knew very clearly that Deputy Deacon Wang was several times stronger than his master Lord Guanjun.
Being a Deputy Deacon, his cultivation was at least at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm. Even inner disciples didn't dare to offend him.
Zhao Feng's words caused some of the people present to freeze in confusion.
Everyone had a job, but why didn't Zhao Feng have one?
"What's your name?"
Deputy Deacon Wang was expressionless.
"Zhao Feng."
The young man stood in the morning breeze, neither servile nor overbearing.
He had entered the sect without leaving behind any evidence, so he didn't believe that the other party could do anything to him.
"You're Zhao Feng?"
Deputy Deacon Wang revealed a trace of surprise and immediately sized him up with a strange and new gaze.
The invisible spiritual pressure that permeated the surroundings also dissipated like a puff of smoke.
Those who were more observant noticed that Deputy Deacon Wang's demeanor had become kinder. He seemed to value Zhao Feng to a certain extent.
"Yes, I am."
Zhao Feng replied. He didn't expect Deputy Deacon Wang to know him.
"Ahem, due to some special reasons, your position has not been decided yet."
Vice Deacon Wang squeezed out a smile.
Ah!?
Some of the new disciples had strange expressions on their faces. Why did Vice Deacon Wang suddenly become so polite?
There must be a reason behind this abnormality.
Zhao Feng's eyes flickered.
However, Deputy Deacon Wang did not say anything and turned around to leave.
Being a Deputy Deacon, he had a high status and was only responsible for announcing the tasks. He didn't care about the details.
Xiao Sun and Princess Yun Mengxiang looked at Zhao Feng with a strange expression.
The strength that Zhao Feng had displayed in the second test had shocked them, but they didn't put it to heart. After all, Zhao Feng's talent was only average.
And this time, only Zhao Feng's position had not been decided yet, which meant that it wasn't a simple matter.
Liu Yue 'er was also a little angry. She had wanted to see Zhao Feng lose face, but she didn't expect him to be noticed by the Deputy Deacon.
Even Zhao Feng's Senior Brothers, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan, were confused.
Zhao Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much either.
There was a total of twenty-one outer disciples. Apart from Zhao Feng, the other twenty had been given their respective roles.
On the same day, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan went to report to their respective roles.
"Damn! I can't believe I'm with that bastard Chen Feng in the Grass-Wood Division's ruins. His life is much easier than mine … "
Nan Gongfan's face was green.
"The field that I'm in happens to be managed by 'Ji Fengyun'. There are more than ten farmers under his command, but my job is the heaviest."
Yang Qingshan's face was also ugly.
Zhao Feng's face changed after hearing this.
Chen Feng, Ji Fengyun and Hou Yuan!
These three were obviously in cahoots with Quan Chen.
On the same day, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan went to their own areas to fulfill their duties.
In the eyes of others, entering the Clan was like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate.
But everyone knew that outer sect disciples were at the very edge of the sect. Most of them helped the sect do odd jobs, and did not receive any real nurturing.
Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what Lord Guanjun had said:
"After entering the Clan, your first goal is to become an inner disciple as soon as possible. Because outer disciples don't receive much attention from the Clan, the upper echelons of the Clan won't even care if one or two outer disciples die. "
"Only by becoming an inner disciple will you be protected and nurtured by the Clan. At this point, even Hai Yun Master won't be able to touch you easily. "
… …
In the sect, an outer court disciple was like an ant that could be toyed with by anyone. Even if they were toyed to death, the upper echelons of the sect would not pursue the matter.
Only by becoming an inner disciple would one be able to enter the true circle of the Clan.
Because he hadn't been given any tasks, Zhao Feng first went to check on the work of his two senior brothers.
Yang Qingshan went back and forth between septic tanks, wells, farmlands, and other places. He shuttled through several acres of farmland, doing dirty and tiring work.
Outer sect disciples who held the same position as him had much easier tasks.
"Newcomer, hurry up. If you don't complete the task by tonight, your salary in the sect will be deducted."
A cold voice sounded from a nearby house.
Zhao Feng looked over and saw Ji Fengyun rushing Yang Qingshan with a cold expression.
Yang Qingshan's heart was filled with anger, but he could only suppress it.
Every outer sect disciple would receive a certain amount of salary in the sect.
For example, Zhao Feng and the other two would receive a substandard primal crystal stone every month as well as spiritual pills from the Clan.
Primal crystal stones were said to be the crystallization of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and contained the purest energy of the Heaven and Earth.
True primal crystal stones were priceless and could greatly increase one's cultivation. Even those at the Ascended Realm wanted them.
Primal crystal stones were split into low, middle, high and peak grade.
But as outer disciples, they couldn't receive true primal crystal stones or else they would be able to break through to the Ascended Realm faster.
But even the substandard primal crystal stones were better than most cultivation resources in the outside world.
Secondly, the spiritual pills given by the Clan were holy pills in the outside world.
Even the lowest grade spiritual pill was higher than the Chilling Snow Body Pill and Burning Sun Bone Pill that Zhao Feng had used before.
…..
Yang Qingshan was furious but he didn't dare to say anything.
Firstly, Ji Fengyun was the supervisor of this field and if he went against him, he could be punished.
Secondly, deducting his salary was the same as digging out Yang Qingshan's heart.
At least up to now, Yang Qingshan didn't have the ability to resist.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng decided to help his senior apprentice-brother.
"Stop right there! He has to do his own work, no one else is allowed to help. "
Ji Fengyun walked over with a serious face.
"There's no such rule in the Outer Hall Division. On the contrary, everyone has times when they're busy. According to the rules, they can ask for someone else to take over. I don't believe that Brother Ji can manage this field without cultivating. "
Zhao Feng's expression was calm as he argued.
"Fuck off! I'm in charge of this field and no one else is allowed to interfere. "
Ji Fengyun said impatiently.
He wasn't being reasonable at all!
Being reasonable was only when the other party was of the same level and if the other party had the right to interfere.
In his eyes, Zhao Feng and the others were small fries that he could do whatever he wanted.
"Brother Zhao, I understand your good intentions. You should leave. "
Yang Qingshan tried to persuade Zhao Feng to leave as he kept winking at him.
"Ji Fengyun, I heard that there's a total of 20 substitute inner disciple spots and you're one of them."
Zhao Feng didn't leave. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
"That's right, what do you want?"
Ji Fengyun's expression was slightly arrogant and he had a sense of superiority.
Being a substitute inner disciple, his treatment was better than the other outer disciples.
From a certain point of view, a substitute inner disciple was a quasi inner disciple.
To a certain extent, they were trained by the Clan and once they reached the Ascended Realm, they could become official.
"According to the rules of the Clan, I can challenge you. If I win, I can replace you as a substitute inner disciple. "
Battle intent rose from Zhao Feng's body.
Challenge!
Challenge a substitute inner disciple!
The conflict here also attracted the attention of the nearby outer disciples.
"Brother Zhao, don't be rash!"
Yang Qingshan's expression changed.
In the outer sect, the 20 reserve inner sect disciples were definitely the cream of the crop among the outer sect disciples.
Every reserve inner disciple's cultivation base had reached the Half-step Transcending Mortality Stage.
Ji Fengyun was ranked 13th and his strength was on par with the 1st Guard, maybe even stronger.
"Hahaha … I admire your courage! According to the rules of the Clan, to challenge a substitute inner disciple, you need to apply to the Outer Hall Division and the challenge will start in three days. I won't make things difficult for your friend in these three days, but if you fail, he'll be my dog. "
Ji Fengyun let out a long laugh and pointed at Yang Qingshan.
What he meant was that Zhao Feng had to consider the consequences. His senior brother's fate was in his hands.
"Sure! See you in three days. "
Zhao Feng said goodbye to his senior brother and went to the Grass-Wood Division to check on Nan Gongfan.
Nan Gongfan was responsible for moving the pill refining waste.
In the Grass-Wood Division, there was a mountain of pill refining waste.
Usually, a mountain of materials could only be made into tens of pills, so there was a lot of waste.
Pill refining was to refine the essence of plants and spiritual materials. The remaining waste made up more than 99% of the materials.
Nan Gongfan's situation wasn't much better than Yang Qingshan's. Because he was with Chen Feng, he had to do the most tiring work that no one else could do.
Seeing Zhao Feng come over, Chen Feng's face was filled with wariness.
That day, Zhao Feng had defeated him, which left a shadow in Chen Feng's heart.
"When I become a substitute inner disciple, those people will have to think twice before bullying the two senior brothers."
Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng returned to the Outer Hall Division.
As soon as he returned, he immediately went to the Outer Hall Division to apply to challenge Ji Fengyun, who was ranked 13th.
This matter caused an uproar in the outer disciples.
Late that night, some of the new outer disciples received the news.
Zhao Feng's application was approved!
"Hehe, it's been a long time since someone challenged a substitute inner disciple. This newcomer is really fearless."
Many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
