Chapter 113 Challenge the alternate inner disciple
The duties of the new disciples are basically assigned to each other. It can be said that one family is happy and the other is worried.
Only a few people are actually assigned good jobs.
But everyone had no choice. As outer disciples and newcomers, they were undoubtedly the most marginalized circle in the sect.
Among them, the most unlucky ones are Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan. They do the dirtiest and hardest work and are assigned a huge workload. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for them to squeeze out extra time to practice.
After the mission was announced, the deputy deacon put away the book in his hand and prepared to leave.
ah?
Zhao Feng was stunned and stood there, astonished.
Everyone has tasks, why don’t I?
Whether it was Yun Xiangmeng, Xiao Yun, Yang Qingshan, or Nangong Fan, they were all assigned tasks, good or bad.
But the deputy deacon never mentioned Zhao Feng from beginning to end.
"Wait! Master Butler!"
Zhao Feng called out to stop Deputy Deacon Wang.
"What's the matter? I'm only responsible for announcing my duties. Others will be responsible for the specific work."
Deputy Deacon Wang looked slightly displeased and glanced at Zhao Feng with an indifferent gaze.
The morning breeze all around suddenly became quiet.
An invisible spiritual pressure loomed around him.
Everyone present was breathing heavily and feeling inexplicably uneasy. Only then did they realize that the person standing opposite was the deputy deacon from the sect world.
Of course, there are also some people who look at Zhao Feng with gloating.
Among them was Liu Yue'er, but she was secretly worried about Zhao Feng.
"Excuse me, Deputy Deacon Wang, why was my position not announced just now?"
Zhao Feng is cautious in his words and deeds and respectful in his face.
He knew very well that Deputy Deacon Wang in front of him was several times more powerful than his master, Marquis Guangjun.
As a deputy deacon, the other party's cultivation level is at least above the fifth level of the transcendent realm. Even the inner disciples would not dare to offend him easily.
As soon as Zhao Feng said this, some people present were stunned and looked confused.
Everyone has been assigned their duties, why not Zhao Feng?
"May I have your name?"
Deputy Deacon Wang had no expression on his face.
"Zhao Feng."
The young man stood in the morning light and breeze, neither humble nor arrogant.
He entered the sect without leaving any clues and did not believe that the other party could do anything to him.
"Are you Zhao Feng?"
Deputy Deacon Wang showed a hint of surprise, and immediately looked at him with strange, new eyes.
The invisible spiritual coercion that diffused all around suddenly disappeared.
Those who were more attentive noticed that Deputy Deacon Wang's demeanor had become a little kinder, and he seemed to pay some attention to Zhao Feng.
"It's the junior."
Zhao Feng replied that he did not expect Deputy Deacon Wang to know him.
"Ahem, due to some special reasons, your position has not been decided yet."
Deputy Deacon Wang forced a smile on his face.
ah!?
Some new disciples present looked strange. Why did Deputy Deacon Wang suddenly become polite?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Zhao Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
However, Deputy Deacon Wang didn't say much and turned around and left.
As the deputy deacon, he has an important status and is only responsible for announcing the mission. He is not responsible for other specific details.
Xiao Yun and Princess Yunxiangmeng looked at Zhao Feng with a slightly strange expression.
In the second level of the entrance examination, Zhao Feng's strength surprised them, but they didn't take it to heart. After all, Zhao Feng's qualifications were average.
As for this time, Zhao Feng was the only one who had not yet determined the assignment of duties. This matter was by no means simple.
Liu Yue'er was also a little annoyed. She originally planned to embarrass Zhao Feng, but she didn't expect that the other party could get the deputy deacon to pay attention and treat him specially.
Even Zhao Feng's two senior brothers, Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan, looked puzzled and confused.
Zhao Feng shook his head, saying that he didn't quite understand either.
There are a total of twenty-one outer disciples. Except for Zhao Feng, the other twenty are all assigned to positions.
On the same day, Yang Qingshan and Nangong Fan both went to report to the person in charge of their respective positions.
"Depressing! I'm actually in the ruins of Cao Mu Tang with this beast like Chen Feng. His life is much easier than mine..."
Nangong Fan's face turned pale.
"The medicinal field where I am located happens to be under the control of 'Ji Fengyun'. He has more than a dozen farm workers under his control, and I have the heaviest job."
Yang Qingshan also looked embarrassed.
After Zhao Feng heard this, his expression changed slightly.
Chen Feng, Ji Fengyun, and a stronger Hou Yuan!
These three people and Quan Chen are obviously the same species.
On the same day, Nangong Fan and Yang Qingshan both went to their respective areas to fulfill their obligations in the sect.
Entering the sect, to outsiders, the scenery is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.
But who knows, the outer disciples are on the fringe in the sect, and most of them do chores for the sect and cannot get real training.
Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what his master, Marquis Guangjun, said:
"After entering the sect, your first goal is to become an 'inner disciple' as soon as possible. Because the outer disciples are not valued and cultivated by the sect at all. Sometimes one or two outer disciples die, and the senior officials of the sect do not care.
It would be too demanding.”
"Only by becoming an inner disciple and being trained and protected by the sect. At this time, not even 'Master Yunhai' can touch you easily."
…
Outer sect disciples are like ants in the sect who can be manipulated by others. Even if they are played to death, the sect's senior officials will not pursue them too closely.
Only by becoming an inner disciple can one enter the true circle of the sect.
Since he was not assigned a task, Zhao Feng first went to see the work of the two senior brothers.
Yang Qingshan travels between manure tanks, wells, farmland and other places, traveling through acres of farmland, doing dirty and tiring work.
Outer disciples with the same position as him have much easier tasks.
"Newcomer, hurry up. If you can't complete the task this evening, your salary in the sect will be deducted."
A cold voice came from a nearby house.
Zhao Feng took a look and saw Ji Fengyun urging Yang Qingshan with a cold face.
Yang Qingshan was suppressing a ball of anger in his heart, but he could only endure it.
Every outer disciple will be given a certain salary in the sect.
For example, Zhao Feng and the other three have a piece of second-grade yuan crystal stone every month, as well as the spiritual elixir from the sect.
Yuan Jing Stone is said to be the crystallization of the vital energy of heaven and earth. It contains extremely pure power of heaven and earth, which is greatly beneficial to practice.
Real Yuan Jingshi is extremely valuable and can greatly promote spiritual practice. Even those who have transcended the mortal realm can only dream of it.
Yuan Jingshi is divided into: low grade, medium grade, top grade and top grade.
However, as outer disciples, they cannot obtain the real Yuan Jingshi, otherwise they would be able to break through to the transcendental realm faster.
However, even "defective Yuan Jingshi" is better than most cultivation resources in outside countries.
Secondly, the "spiritual elixirs" distributed by the sect are even more like elixirs and holy medicines to the outside world.
Even the lowest elixir is one level higher than the "Cold Snow Body Erosion Pill" and "Fire Yang Bone Refining Pill" that Zhao Feng once used.
…
Yang Qingshan was too angry to speak out, which was also a helpless act.
First, Ji Fengyun is the supervisor of this medicine field. If he contradicts him, the other party can punish him.
Second, withholding salary is just to dig into Yang Qingshan's heart.
At least so far, Yang Qingshan has no power to resist.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng couldn't bear it and planned to help his senior brother.
"Stop! He has to do his work by himself, no one else is allowed to help."
Ji Fengyun walked over with a sullen face.
"There is no such rule in the Outer Gate Hall; on the contrary, when everyone is too busy to take time off, according to the rules, you can ask for leave and let someone else take your place. I don't believe that Senior Brother Ji can be in charge of this place every day without practicing."
Zhao Feng looked calm and argued with reason.
"Get out! This farmland is under my control and no outsiders will be allowed to interfere."
Ji Fengyun said impatiently.
He is totally unreasonable!
To be honest, it only depends on whether the other party is qualified if they are at the same level.
In his eyes, the newcomers from Zhao Feng are just little people who can be manipulated by him.
"Junior Brother Zhao, I understand your good intentions. You'd better leave quickly."
Yang Qingshan quickly persuaded Zhao Feng to leave, winking all the time.
"Ji Fengyun, I heard that there are twenty "candidate inner disciples" in the outer sect, and you are one of them."
Zhao Feng did not leave, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, what do you want?"
Ji Fengyun looked slightly arrogant and had a sense of superiority.
As a candidate inner disciple, his status and treatment are better than those of other outer disciples.
In a sense, the candidate inner disciples are the quasi inner disciples.
To a certain extent, they have been cultivated by the sect, and once they break through the realm of transcendence, they can "return to full status" at any time.
"According to the sect's rules, I can challenge you. If I win, I can replace your qualification as an 'alternate inner disciple'."
Zhao Feng's body showed a fighting spirit.
challenge!
Challenge the candidate inner disciples!
The conflict here also attracted the attention of several outer disciples nearby.
"Junior Brother Zhao, don't be impulsive!"
Yang Qingshan's expression changed.
In the outer sect, the twenty candidate inner sect disciples are definitely the best among the outer sect disciples.
Each candidate inner sect disciple has reached the "half-step to escape from the ordinary realm".
Ji Fengyun is ranked thirteenth, and his strength is at least equal to that of Yiwei, or even stronger.
"Hahaha... Ji admires your courage! According to the sect's rules, to challenge the 'alternate inner disciple', you need to apply to the outer sect. After three days, the challenge will be official. Before these three days, Ji will not embarrass your friend.
, but if you fail, he will be my dog."
Ji Fengyun gave a long laugh and finally pointed at Yang Qingshan.
The implication is that Zhao Feng has to consider the consequences. The fate of his senior brother is in his own hands.
"Okay! See you in three days."
Zhao Feng said goodbye to his senior brother and went to Caomu Hall to see how senior brother Nangongfan was doing.
Nangong Fan is responsible for transporting alchemy waste.
In the grass and wood hall, alchemy has been made for many years, and the waste piles up like mountains.
It often takes mountains of materials to refine dozens of elixirs, so there is a lot of waste.
The so-called alchemy is to extract the essence of various vegetation, heaven and earth spiritual materials, and the remaining waste accounts for more than 99%.
Nangong Fan's situation was not much better than that of Yang Qingshan. Because he was with Chen Feng, he had to do the most painful and tiring work that no one else could do.
Seeing Zhao Feng coming, Chen Feng restrained himself a little and looked fearful.
That day, Zhao Feng defeated him forcefully, and Chen Feng felt somewhat shadowy.
"When I become an 'alternate inner disciple', these people will have to think carefully if they want to bully the two senior brothers."
Zhao Feng thought of this and returned to the outer door hall.
As soon as he came back, he immediately went to the outer gate hall to apply and challenge Ji Fengyun, who was ranked thirteenth.
This incident caused a commotion at the outer gate.
Late that night, some of the new outer disciples got the news.
Zhao Feng's challenge application was approved!
"Haha, no one has challenged the candidate inner disciples for a long time. This newcomer is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."
