As far as the eye could see, there was a long rectangular table at one side of the room. A middle-aged man dressed in Confucian robes sat behind the table facing the door. The middle-aged man did not pay any attention to the people entering the room. Instead, he held an emerald green brush in his hand and continued to sketch on a piece of paper with a few plum blossoms drawn on it.
???? When the old man saw this, he frowned slightly, but his expression immediately returned to normal. He did not have any intention of disturbing the middle-aged man. Instead, he pulled a chair from his side and sat down not far from the middle-aged man, quietly waiting for the middle-aged man to finish his drawing.
???? Seeing this, Chen Jin blinked his eyes and stood behind the old man without saying a word with the rest of the crowd. Tactfully, they waited together.
???? Perhaps the middle-aged man saw that the crowd had arrived and could not help but speed up his drawing. There were many more drawings on the paper that originally did not have much content. After about the time it took to burn a stick of incense, a plum blossom tree that was blooming in the rock appeared on the blank paper. It was as if the whole room was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
"What do you want from me?" The middle-aged man said indifferently, as if this level of drawing was of an ordinary standard.
"It's nothing much. It's just that a new batch of disciples has just entered the sect this year. I'm here to bring them to receive some benefits from the sect." The old man said slowly.
"In that case, go and collect them yourselves. One for each person. Don't take more and don't mess things up. After you've collected them, come to me to register." After he finished speaking, he handed a list to the old man. It seemed that these were the things that needed to be collected.
"A low-grade long sword, a bottle of low-grade Foundation Strengthening Elixir, you can choose whatever you want. Two low-grade spirit stones, a set of sect uniform, an outer disciple logo, a book of basic skills, a guide book for new disciples (with a map), a bottle of Fasting Pills, a magic tool to record sect contribution points, a low-grade storage bag, numbered from one to nine. Go and collect them yourselves." After he finished speaking, he smiled faintly at the crowd. In his heart, he thought that these little guys were really lucky. The sect had just discovered a new spirit stone mine and they had already increased the benefits of two spirit stones for the new disciples. It seemed that the sect's salary was going to increase in the near future.
A moment later, everyone received their own items and registered them. The middle-aged man glanced at them and saw that they didn't take much, so he said, "Since everyone has gotten their items, there's nothing else for me to stay here anymore. Please take them out, Senior Brother. I'm going to continue painting." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's right. After he finished speaking, he ignored the crowd and casually rolled the drawing into a ball and threw it to the side. He took out a blank piece of paper from the drawer and continued drawing.
Seeing this, the old man cupped his hands at the middle-aged man and did not say anything else. It was as if he was afraid of disturbing the middle-aged man. He quietly walked out. Everyone followed suit and slowly walked out of the door without making a sound.
"Alright, everyone put your things into the storage bags and follow me to get your rooms." Seeing that everyone was confused, the old man waved his hand and a disciple's storage bag appeared in his hand. He pointed to a groove in the storage bag and reminded them, "For those of you who have not cultivated, just insert the spirit stones that you just received into the bag. Then, point it at the items in your hands and pull it. The string on the storage bag will automatically pull it in. Then, tighten the storage bag and it will be done. For those who have cultivated spiritual power, pour it into the groove and the remaining steps will be the same."
Everyone operated according to the old man's instructions. Sure enough, all the items on the ground were put into the storage bag. Everyone felt that it was very magical. They could not help but touch the storage bag as if it was a treasure. Chen Jin did not feel anything. His storage ring was much more advanced than this and the area was also much larger. He was just a little curious about the spirit stones. It seemed that he had been exploring and cultivating alone and could not compare to the sect. A small storage bag could also be driven by spirit stones. If other items could be driven by spirit stones, it would save a lot of spiritual power. The allocation of housing was also simple.
As there were many stone houses, except for those who were willing to live together, basically each person had an empty house. Fang Bin proposed to live in the same house as Chen Jin, but was rejected by Chen Jin. What a joke. He had so many secrets, how could he live with you? Not only that, but the location that Chen Jin chose was also very remote. However, Fang Bin chose to live next door to Chen Jin. Surprisingly, the little girl also pulled her brother, Liang Huaqiang, to live next to Chen Jin. This made Chen Jin not too bored with three neighbors.
Soon, Chen Jin came to the place where he lived according to the map. He opened the door with the key and walked in. Although the appearance of this stone house looked a little simple, the inside was still good. There was a practice room, a small medicine garden, an alchemy room, and a refining room. There was even a small spring with water. There should be no problem for daily drinking and bathing. After wandering around the stone house, he went to the room. There was a bed and a table in the room. There was a small booklet on the table. Chen Jin opened the booklet and found that it was written about the functions and usage of this stone house. For example, the alchemy room and the refining room were each equipped with a low-level alchemy furnace and some basic common elixir recipes, but they were not equipped with the corresponding refining materials. The booklet said that the refining materials could be cultivated by oneself in the medicine garden. The seeds also needed to be bought by oneself. As for the cultivation method, it was very simple. After all, they were only cultivating some low-level herbs. They only needed to be watered after they were planted and then the spirit stones were buried in the soil to ripen. The medicine garden was a level one spirit soil, so the efficiency of absorbing the spirit stones was not fast. It also needed to use magic power to stimulate the spirit soil to absorb the spirit on the spirit stones. When Chen Jin saw this, he was secretly curious. There was actually such a thing. It did not exist on Earth. It seemed that the level of cultivation in the Immortal Realm was much higher than that of the Protoss. It would not end at the Sage (Mahayana) stage. Thinking of this, Chen Jin, who was about to go to the herb garden to experiment with the spirit soil, stopped. The reason made him not know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that there were no seeds. It seemed that he had to earn some contribution points to buy seeds when he had time.
Shaking his head, Chen Jin took out the guidebook for new disciples from his storage bag. After flipping through it for a while, he closed the book. Chen Jin had already memorized all the contents of the book. Not to mention the chip in Chen Jin's brain, it was a piece of cake for Chen Jin to memorize these things with his current level of cultivation.
"Only by completing the sect's missions can I get contribution points as a reward. I also have to complete a mission every month. Items with spirit stones can also be exchanged for contribution points or completed missions. But if I rashly take out a large number of spirit stones, it will definitely arouse suspicion. I'd better complete the mission first," Chen Jin muttered to himself as he walked out. Following the instructions on the map, Chen Jin soon arrived at the outside of a brick and wood structure. This was the mission office for the outer sect disciples, which was marked on the map.
Entering the house, Chen Jin saw a youth who looked not much older than him reading a book with great interest. So, Chen Jin opened his mouth and said, "Senior, I'm Chen Jin, a new disciple who just entered the sect today. I'm here to receive a mission."
