Chapter 2 Receiving supplies
Chapter 2 Receive supplies
The flying boat sped for seven or eight days, finally arriving at the Easy Sect in the early morning.
Along the way, a senior brother from the Easy Sect had already told this group of newcomers the basic information about the cultivation world and the Easy Sect, so Xu Chuniang wasn’t ignorant now.
Although she still didn’t quite understand what cultivation into immortality was all about, she had an understanding of some of the common sense of the cultivation world.
Perhaps because of Wei Dawu, the inner disciple, Xu Chuniang’s journey was very peaceful, and the little girl who had previously looked for trouble with her went into the cabin on the second day, and never came out after that.
The brocade-clothed young gentleman who had been following her did not get into the cabin, but remained outside like everyone else, fighting with the others, just as if he had become the leader of the pack.
Because of Xu Chuniang’s ugly appearance, the others were not willing to take care of her, although isolated along the way, but also fell a clean.
The flying boat stopped at the outer gate, put down the outer disciples, and then flew toward the inner gate.
Xu Chuniang looked at the direction the flying boat left, silently cheering herself up in her heart, one day, she would also enter the inner sect!
The leading Loose Sect senior brother led the crowd into a large hall and smiled as he said to a steward-like person, “Finally, I’ve brought this group of new disciples back safely, the road wasn’t pestered by these brats asking questions.”
The steward swept a glance, and his face also brought some smiles.
“This group of disciples is not bad, you should have earned a lot of contribution value from this mission.”
“It’s still just like that, this coming and going is also quite time consuming.”
The leading senior brother smiled helplessly, turned his head to the crowd and said, “This is the supervisor who is responsible for distributing resources to you during the protection period, your supplies for the three years of your new entry will be collected from this supervisor, if you don’t know anything, ask him.”
After saying that, the leading senior brother left the hall as if he had put down a burden.
The senior steward swept a glance at the crowd, his face smiling.
“My name is Zhang Donglai, all of your new disciple’s things are in my custody, you will have to deal with me for the next three years, for example, the dormitory that you will be living in in the future will be assigned by me. The spirit stones distributed by the sect every year will also be distributed by me.”
A resourceful disciple immediately asked, “I wonder how this dormitory will be distributed? What’s the difference?”
“How is it distributed? naturally, it’s up to me.”
Zhang Donglai heatedly smiled, “You guys should have heard about it on your way here, cultivation and aura are closely related, if you live in a good place with plenty of aura, it will allow you to go farther on the road of cultivation.”
Speaking here, he paused for a moment before saying nonchalantly, “As long as you guys are willing to pay six spirit stones to me, I’ll make sure to pick a good location for you guys.”
At once, someone sucked in a mouthful of cold air, “Six spirit stones? But we don’t have a single one!”
A fast-reacting one immediately said, “Have you forgotten, although we don’t have any right now, but that senior brother said earlier that we new disciples have a three-year protection period, and during that period of protection, we can receive twelve Spirit Stones subsidized by the sect every year.”
The crowd reacted, together this Steward Zhang actually had this idea.
Being told off, Zhang Donglai’s face was half-exceptional, still with that smiling look.
“That’s a good point, I will send you the basic supplies for new disciples and the spirit stone subsidy issued by the sect for the first year in a while, as long as you pay six spirit stones, I will choose a good location with plenty of spiritual qi for you.
You should know that you’ll be staying in the dormitory for many years, and me charging only six spirit stones is already a price of conscience. You new disciples, having six spirit stones for the first year is also enough.
And I won’t charge any more spirit stones for the next two years, not a single piece will be missing from you.”
With that, Zhang Donglai distributed one palm-sized storage bag to the crowd.
“This thing is called a storage bag, it contains the supplies and first year’s subsidy that the sect has issued to you, this lowest level storage bag is that you can use it even if you don’t have any cultivation right now, you only need to put it close to your forehead and you can take out the spirit stones.”
Everyone tried it according to the method taught by Zhang Donglai, and they were indeed able to take things out from it.
“This is an immortal’s means, so powerful that they actually took something out from this pouch!” “In the future, if we work hard, we will be able to learn the Immortal’s skills too!”
Xu Chuniang also followed what Zhang Dong said and held the storage pouch close to her eyes, and soon saw what was inside.
There was a piece of clothing, a few books, a map, a black plaque, and twelve Zhan Zhan stones and so on ……
“It’s not bad to spend six spirit stones and buy a good location.”
Finally, someone’s heart was moved, and took out six spiritually glowing stones from his storage bag and handed them over.
Zhang Donglai took the spirit stones, took out a map, and pointed to a center location, “This is where you go.” After saying this, he fished out a large key from his storage bag and took a piece from it and gave it to him.
The man glanced at the map and saw that it was indeed a good location, and nodded in satisfaction.
With this person starting, the rest of the people also followed suit and paid the protection fee of six spirit stones, begging for this steward to be able to assign themselves a good location.
But there were also some people who were not too willing to pay these six spirit stones, after all, only twelve of them were issued in a year, and this instantly removed half of them.
One person spoke stiffly, “Senior Brother Zhang, can I not pay the spirit stones?”
The smile on Zhang Donglai’s face instantly retracted, revealing a shrewd and mean face.
“Don’t pay the spirit stones? hehehe, I will have to assign you to the worst dormitory, and you don’t want to get any more benefits from me, you have to know that the protection period for new disciples is but three years, and after three years, you will have to pay the clan’s gang tribute.
I’ll be responsible for assigning all the new disciples’ tribute tasks. I’ll say this in advance, if you’re not willing to pay the spirit stones, don’t blame me if you can’t do the tribute tasks at that time!”
Zhang Donglai paused for a moment and swept a glance at the disciples, “Of course, if you guys have the ability, you can also go to the Commissioning Hall to receive the tasks on your own, but for the tasks in that Commissioning Hall, you must have at least a mid-stage Qi Practitioner’s cultivation in order to receive them.
Within three years you can break through to the third level of Qi Practicing and forget about it, want to break through to the middle level of Qi Practicing, humph!”
The questioner weighed the pros and cons, if he didn’t pay the six spirit stones, being assigned to a poor dormitory would be a small matter, if he offended this steward because of it, it would even affect the later stages of development!
He hesitated for a moment, and finally counted six spirit stones from his storage bag to pay.
Anyway, so many people have paid, it’s not so bad for him.
The rest of the crowd saw this, and although there was some reluctance in their hearts, they were all prepared to pinch their noses and pay the spirit stones, as if they had broken the bank.
Xu Chuniang held the storage bag she had just been issued, her brows furrowed tightly.
What Brother Dawu had told her when she was on the flying boat, there was something called spirit stones, which were very important in the world of immortals, equivalent to gold and silver in the mundane world.
Not only could Spirit Stones be used as money in the world of Immortals, they could also help with cultivation, in short, there were many benefits.
Although she didn’t understand exactly how this spirit stone could be used, but judging from the fact that the sect only issued a total of thirty-six pieces to new disciples, it must be something very valuable.
Xu Chuniang had grown up to the age of eight and had never even touched silver, let alone a spirit stone that was much more valuable than silver.
She struggled greatly within herself!
If she didn’t pay the spirit stones, she would offend this Steward Zhang, but she really couldn’t afford to part with the six spirit stones, which was the new disciple’s allowance for half a year.
Steward Zhang’s eyes landed on Xu Chuniang, his eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, “Hey, the others have paid their spirit stones, you’re the only one left, hurry up and pay your spirit stones.”
Without realizing it, everyone had paid their spirit stones, including the brocade-clothed young male named Qi Haozhi, who was following the gorgeous little girl.
