Chapter 3: Receiving the Pill
Chapter 3: Receive the Dan
Xu Chuniang’s heart was set, and she treated it as if she didn’t see the dislike on Steward Zhang’s face.
From that day after being inexplicably scolded by that little girl, she knew that although the world of immortals was very different from before, there were some places that were not so different.
For example, they were all disgusted by her ugly face!
But she didn’t give a damn.
When she was small, all the children in the village called her an ugly girl, and even hit her with stones, but after being repaired by her with a life-threatening stance, all of them were so honest that they didn’t even dare to speak out loud in front of her, and at most scolded her twice behind her back.
She has a birthmark on her face, ugly and so what, the previous leader of the senior brother but said, the cultivation world based on strength to speak, who has a big fist is the boss!
She will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future and teach these people who look down on her a good lesson, letting them know the abomination of judging people by their appearance.
A trace of impatience flashed across Zhang Donglai’s face, “Talking to you, are you deaf or dumb? Hurry up and hand over the spirit stones.”
“I’m not handing it over.”
Xu Chuniang gritted her teeth and made a bold decision.
Everyone else’s dormitories had been arranged, and she was the last one, and there would have been no good spots to choose from.
“What? You’re not paying?”
Zhang Donglai narrowed his eyes, “Have you thought about it?”
The large amount of spirit stones had already been received in his hand, and he did not have to ask for these last six pieces of spirit stones.
But daring to challenge his prestige, he would let this ugly girl know that it was more than just a few spirit stones.
Having made her decision, Xu Chuniang’s heart was certain instead, “Not bad. I won’t pay the spirit stones, so please ask Senior Steward to assign me a dormitory.”
With the spirit stones that had reached her hands, it was impossible to pull them out again!
“How ungrateful.”
A trace of coldness flashed in Steward Zhang’s eyes as he opened the map and pointed to one of the most remote locations on the map.
“Since that’s the case, then you can go to this dormitory near the back of the mountain. I’ll kindly remind you that although this back mountain is safe, it’s impossible to say that it’s also infested with demonic beasts, if you’re eaten by a demonic beast, hehehe!”
Xu Chuniang’s face turned a little white, but she didn’t say anything in the end and took the key, clutching it tightly.
When the others saw this scene, they had quite a bit of comfort in their hearts, feeling that their spirit stones hadn’t been spent in vain after all.
They had seen clearly that the location pointed out by Steward Zhang was not only close to the back of the mountain, it was also on another mountain, and that piece of land was just that one independent dormitory, definitely the most remote and dangerous, it was inconvenient to think about.
The consular disciple on the flying boat said, the new disciple just entered the door but there are courses to learn, live in such a remote place, I am afraid that this coming and going back and forth will be delayed for a lot of hours.
In the long run, the curriculum will definitely be left behind.
A few disciples who paid first were even more fortunate, they were the first to pay, so the assigned location was the best, no matter if it was to go to the lecture hall, the meal hall, or to the gong transmission pavilion and so on, it was all very convenient.
After Xu Chuniang received the key, she didn’t bother to look at the other people’s gloating expressions as she walked out of the hall in large strides.
For her, traveling farther is nothing, well …… the big deal is that she walks a little more.
It s just that she just came and offended Steward Zhang …….
Xu Chuniang shook her head and suppressed the uneasiness of her heart, anyway, he had no good feelings for himself, even if he paid the spirit stone, the situation is not too much better, or to keep the spirit stone is more cost-effective.
Xu Chuniang put these things aside, took out the map from her storage bag and took a look at the location of the dormitory, it was really remote!
A little further out, it was estimated to be out of the Easy Sect’s range.
She hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the Meal Hall first, she was a bit hungry. Wanted to go eat something first, then go to the Lecture Hall to take a look.
On the way to the Catering Hall, Xu Chuniang couldn’t hold back the excitement in her heart, from today onwards, she had officially become an outer disciple of the Easy Sect!
Within three years of becoming a new disciple, the Meal Hall and the Lecture Hall were open to new disciples free of charge, and after three years, they would have to collect contribution value. A few days earlier, the biscuits and water she had brought with her had been eaten up, and the consular elder brother had handed out a blackish black elixir, saying that it was some kind of grain-expelling elixir, and that if she ate just one of them a day, she would not be thirsty or hungry.
She was still very skeptical at that time, only that small a grain, where can eat enough?
Who knows she was starving after eating one, actually really not hungry at all.
In the past few days on the flying boat, everyone is eating the grain Dan. Eating that grain-preventing dan, although it is said to feel not hungry, but Xu Chuniang always feel empty stomach, there are still some not quite accustomed to.
I don’t know what kind of delicious food is in this food hall, but it won’t be the same black Peking Dan, right?
This side of the food hall has always been very few people, but occasionally someone passes by, all wearing a uniform set of green robes, coming and going in a hurry.
Xu Chuniang patted her head, and as an afterthought, she took out the clan’s uniformly issued green robes from her storage bag and prepared to change into them.
Although it was said that this set of clothes was too big at first glance, she was now as an outer disciple of the Easy Sect, so it was best to wear uniform clothing. Otherwise, if she was misunderstood as not being a member of the sect and was to be kicked out, she would have no place to cry.
Miraculous things happened, right after she put the green clothes on her body, the clothes actually became smaller bit by bit, and finally became very well fitted, as if it was tailor-made.
Xu Chuniang was surprised, she didn’t expect that a tiny piece of clothing could actually change size automatically, it seems that in the world of cultivation, there really is nothing strange.
Immortals that can fly by stepping on swords, boats that can fly without wings, pills that can keep you from being hungry or thirsty by eating one, tiny storage bags that can hold many items, and clothes that can automatically change size ……
Xu Chuniang fell in love with this magical world almost instantly. She took a deep breath and suppressed her surging excitement as she walked into the Meal Hall.
The Meal Hall wasn’t large, with dozens of tables set up inside, but no one was eating here. There was a fat old man sitting at the window.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance and didn’t see anything that could be eaten, this was quite a bit different from what she had imagined the Meal Hall to be. She had thought that this Meal Hall would be like the town’s restaurants.
The fat old man swept a glance at the visitor, seeing that it was a new face, “New here?”
He had seen a lot of people in this food hall, and the ugly birthmark on the visitor’s face was only considered unusual.
Xu Chuniang nodded, “I’ve come to receive my meals, may I ask if I’m receiving them here?”
The fat old man raised his eyelids, “New disciples can receive free grain-expelling pills for three years, once a month, one bottle at a time, one bottle has thirty pills. After three years this grain-expelling elixir will have to be purchased with spirit stones, one spirit stone is able to buy two bottles.”
Xu Chuniang was secretly staggered, it seems that this grain-preventing dan is not cheap ah, a bottle of half a spirit stone, a year would have to be six spirit stones!
Fortunately, the first three years of new disciples are free, otherwise the twelve spirit stones issued by the clan would have to spend half of them just to eat.
The fat old man knocked on the table, “Give me your disciple token.”
Xu Chuniang inwardly moved, hurriedly sticking the storage bag to her forehead, taking out the black token inside and handing it over, “Is it this one?”
The fat old man took the token and tinkered with it for a moment, quickly returning it while handing out a white jade bottle, “This is a month’s share.”
Xu Chuniang took the token and the bottle, curiously sizing up the token, on the front of the token were two odd runes, and on the back were three slightly smaller runes.
As an afterthought, she remembered something and hurriedly looked through the storage bag, her eyes sharply saw the same three runes from the bottom right of the bag, flipping the bag over, the other side of the bag was clearly the same as the two runes on the front of the token.
The fat old man looked at her look at the token and storage bag, suddenly said, “You do not recognize words?”
These weird runes are words? No wonder she didn’t recognize them. Xu Chuniang shook her head, “I don’t recognize it.”
Not to mention her being an ugly eight year old girl, even in the entire Xu Clan Village, there was only one person in Rizheng who could read and write.
There were plenty of people who couldn’t read, and the fat old man didn’t think so.
“There is a special place to teach people to read and write over there in the Hall of Instruction, but those inner door masters don’t teach this. If you don’t know how to read, you have to learn the words first before you can go to listen to the lessons of the master uncles. Otherwise it’s all for naught if you listen to it, you won’t understand it at all.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart tightened, it seemed that she had to learn words before she could do so, otherwise she wouldn’t even be able to understand the lessons, let alone cultivate.
