Chapter 54: The Legend of Chenzhongtai
(The author mainly focuses on listening to advice, and modified the previous chapter so that the child was not brought to the Chenzhongtai.)
The bell tower was finally quiet.
Li Qian still prefers to practice alone.
Maybe it’s because I was single for too long in my previous life and developed the attributes of a stay-at-home.
dong dong dong.
The clear bell rang.
Amid the lingering sound of bells, Li Qian drew out his sword and began to practice.
After practicing it once, Li Qian only felt the true energy surging in his body, as if he was equipped with a high-performance engine, which contained terrifying power. Once it erupted, it would be extremely astonishing.
call!
Li Qian let out a long sigh and checked the information on the system interface.
The progress of cultivation has improved a little.
"Can it take three days to improve a little?"
Li Qian muttered to himself.
But it's still acceptable.
This means that he will break through to the Zhenyuan realm in less than a year.
In the innate realm, this cultivation speed is extremely terrifying.
Then he began to practice the Soul Chasing Sword Technique.
The peaceful life of bell-ringing and spiritual practice lasted for more than half a month.
On this day, just after dawn, Chen Yong ran to the Chenzhong Tower.
"Brother Qian, the True Transmission Selection is about to begin, are you going to watch it?"
Chen Yong asked.
This was the first time he had the opportunity to watch such an important selection event after entering the inner gate, so he was very excited.
"What's so interesting? It's not like I haven't participated before."
Li Qian was cooking porridge and said without turning his head.
"Forehead"
Chen Yong scratched his head and asked curiously, "Brother Qian, what's in the Sword Grinder Cave?"
The fact that he could become an inner sect disciple was already a great honor for his ancestors. As for the selection for the true successor, it had nothing to do with him and he had never had any thoughts about it. But that didn't mean he wasn't curious about the Mojian Cave.
"There are just some murals inside, nothing special."
Li Qian said casually.
"Brother Qian, I'll leave first."
Chen Yong said.
He planned to go to the Excalibur Square early to get a better spot.
"Since you're here, why don't you have breakfast before leaving?"
Li Qian said.
Chen Yong sat down immediately after hearing this.
Although he is now an inner sect disciple and can eat medicinal food every day, the medicinal porridge cooked by Li Qian is different. The medicinal materials are of better quality, and most importantly, a lot of exotic animal jerky is added.
The inner sect only supplies a small amount of this exotic beast jerky to ordinary formal disciples every month, which is not enough to eat at all.
In the afternoon, Master Zhou Buping returned from the inner gate.
"Tomorrow morning, the sword tomb will be opened."
"Also, Li Qian, it would be better to add a chores disciple to the Chenzhongtai."
Zhou Buping remembered something and started talking.
"Forehead?"
Li Qian was stunned.
"The Sect Master said that many people in the inner sect have reported to him that the Chen Bell often does not ring, which affects their judgment of time."
Zhou Buping said.
"It's not like it doesn't ring all the time. It only happens a few days a year."
Li Qian retorted.
"Adding a chores disciple won't affect you. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone help you ring the bell?"
Zhou Buping didn't quite understand his disciple's train of thought.
"alright."
Li Qian was helpless.
In fact, he really wanted to say that this was his clock and he couldn't let anyone hit it.
However, it is not good to go out and do tasks by yourself without anyone ringing the clock.
Every time I come back, I have to spend some time adjusting the hourglass, which is quite troublesome.
He now only hopes that after the Chen Bell is upgraded, it can be shrunk down and carried around. He can't carry such a large Chen Bell with him every day, right?
It’s a pity that there is no such thing as a storage bag in this world. It would be great if it could be put into a storage container.
After the master left, Li Qian touched his chin, then turned around and went down the mountain to the errand hall.
Miscellaneous service hall.
"Brother Li, what instructions do you have?"
Hall Master Xu personally served the fragrant tea and then asked respectfully.
"Master Xu, please help me find a disciple to do the chores of ringing the bell at Chenzhongtai. He must be honest and dutiful, and he must be a man, preferably one who has just been here for a year."
Li Qian said.
He doesn't want old-timers, so it's best to discipline new errand disciples who are honest and well-behaved.
"Brother Li, please rest assured. I will do it right away."
Hall Master Xu said quickly.
Because Chen Zhongtai occasionally had absenteeism, the inner gate had asked about it many times. Although Chen Zhongtai belonged to the department under the charge of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he had no control over it.
Now that Senior Brother Li had taken the initiative to ask for a menial disciple, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After Li Qian left the Miscellaneous Hall, Hall Master Xu immediately summoned the deputy hall directors and deacons of the Miscellaneous Hall.
Although he was only the deputy hall master, he gradually became the first deputy hall master of the Miscellaneous Hall because he could communicate with Li Qian of Chenzhongtai.
Moreover, the hall master is old and doesn't take care of things much. He usually lives in Linjian City and seldom comes to the Miscellaneous Services Hall, so he basically has the final say in the Miscellaneous Services Hall.
When the old hall master retires, he will basically be the only candidate for hall master.
"Pick out a group of honest and dutiful disciples from among all the menial disciples who entered last year. Remember, you must be honest and dutiful, and don't let me fool you. If you offend that person, no one will be able to escape with regret."
Hall Master Xu said seriously.
Everyone present was startled.
In the Miscellaneous Services Hall, the only person that Hall Master Xu takes so seriously is probably the one at Chen Zhongtai.
Many deputy hall managers and deacons began to get busy.
Soon, the news spread quickly among the menial disciples.
If it is said that the Chenzhong Tower in the past was completely barren, it would be a place that even dogs wouldn't go.
It’s different now.
Privately, there are many legends about Chenzhongtai.
In particular, Chen Yong, a prominent figure in the Menial Services Hall who has occupied the first place in the combat power list for three consecutive years, is said to have been able to rise rapidly from obscurity, which is inextricably linked to the man at Chen Zhongtai.
There were even some quick-witted menial disciples who wanted to try their luck up the mountain, but Hall Master Xu, who had anticipated this, had issued a ban in advance, strictly forbidding the menial disciples to approach the Chen Bell Tower.
Hall Master Xu didn't want to disturb the man's practice because of his menial disciple going up the mountain. If he was blamed, it would be troublesome.
Baicao Garden.
There are a lot of herbs and spiritual medicines planted here, and there are a large number of disciples doing menial tasks.
The herbalists in Baicao Garden all have professional herbal planting capabilities. Although they do not belong to the inner sect, their status is much higher than that of menial disciples.
In addition, there are also alchemists in the alchemy workshop and breeders in the exotic animal breeding farm. They are all the same.
In the system of the Divine Sword Sect, in addition to the martial arts inheritance of the nine main peaks of the inner sect, the inheritance of medicinal planting, alchemy, breeding of exotic beasts, and sword forging are also very important.
These important institutions all have an independent selection mechanism.
The career path for menial disciples is not just to practice martial arts, they can also choose to develop in the fields of planting medicinal plants, refining pills, raising exotic beasts, etc.
However, these professions have certain requirements for talents.
If you can become a herbalist or alchemist, you can basically change your life.
Moreover, these professions offer greater opportunities for practicing martial arts.
Therefore, there are many martial arts masters among groups such as herbalists, alchemists, and exotic animal breeders.
"Who is Liu Ming?"
A deacon who was in charge of the menial disciples in Baicao Garden looked at the assembled menial disciples and asked immediately.
"Master Butler, I am..."
A thin and dark boy came out.
"You must report to the errand hall now."
The deacon nodded.
"I?"
The young man Liu Ming was stunned.
"Yes, go quickly, behave well, and maybe you can enter the Chenzhongtai."
The deacon said with a smile.
Under the envious gazes of other errand disciples, the dark and thin boy Liu Ming hurriedly left the team and ran towards the errand hall.
"Everyone is gone, go get busy."
The errand boy waved his hand.
"Master Deacon, he's the only one here. Don't we have any chance at all?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"This is the list selected by the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. If you want to go, you can go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to apply."
The deacon shrugged his shoulders and said.
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Hey, why is Liu Ming so lucky?"
"Who said it wasn't true? Normally, I can barely even fart, but I'm so lucky."
"Why are you jealous? He may not be selected."
"That's true. Why not me?"
Many of the menial disciples were discussing the matter, full of longing for the Chenzhongtai.
After all, Chen Yong’s example is there.
Who doesn't want to have such an opportunity?
In the crowd, Song Yingying pursed her lips with mixed feelings.
The young boy back then has become someone she cannot reach.
If she had taken more initiative at the beginning, perhaps her fate would have been completely different.
