Chapter 22

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Gao Peng noticed Luo Li's hesitation and said:

"Alright, I'll go first!"

He reached into the bottle, feeling the bamboo sticks inside while muttering:

"Qingjing Pavilion, Qingjing Pavilion, Cai Zhi Hall, Cai Zhi Hall, if it doesn't work, Xiangjing Kitchen is fine, Xiangjing Kitchen is fine, ..."

The old man saw his appearance and smiled, saying: "He's quite knowledgeable!"

Gao Peng pulled hard and took out a golden bamboo stick, which read: "Tuo She Yuan!"

He was stunned for a moment, his lips curled up, and he looked miserable, not knowing what to say.

The old man recorded it and said: "Gao Peng, Tuo She Yuan!"

Gao Peng left, and Zou Sihai went to draw a stick. He drew one that read "Qingjing Pavilion," and immediately he let out a cheer.

The old man recorded: "Zou Sihai, Qingjing Pavilion!"

Luo Li found it strange and asked Gao Peng: "What does this mean? Is Qingjing Pavilion good?"

Gao Peng nodded and said: "In the Lingdie Sect's outer sect, there are thirteen outer courts. The best ones are Qingjing Pavilion, Cai Zhi Hall, and Xiangjing Kitchen!

Qingjing Pavilion is responsible for the cleaning and transportation work of the entire sect, including the cleaning of Ziyang Cliff and Qianlong Forest. These are the sect's blessed lands where countless inner sect disciples practice. They often drop things, which are enough for us to live on. It's a place with countless benefits and many opportunities.

Next is Cai Zhi Hall, which is responsible for collecting the materials for the sect's specialty, the Colorful Butterfly Garment. There are various benefits here, second only to Qingjing Pavilion.

The last one is Xiangjing Kitchen, which is responsible for planting spirit fields and cooking meals and medicinal meals. The cooks there are never hungry and are all well-fed. This is the third best outer court job."

At this moment, Luo Xin drew a stick and got "Yushou Hall," Luo Ming drew a stick and got "Danhuo Room," and Luo Lan drew a stick and got "Jinjing Hall"!

Gao Peng continued: "Yushou Hall is responsible for capturing and raising the sect's spirit beasts. The harvest is average, and it's very tiring, but you can get the best spirit butterfly pupae, which is very beneficial for future cultivation.

Danhuo Room is responsible for collecting spirit herbs and refining elixirs. Jinjing Hall is responsible for mining, smelting, and crafting. These outer courts are considered average. Sigh, among the thirteen outer courts, the worst is my Tuo She Yuan!"

At this moment, Luo Li began to draw a stick. He reached into the golden bottle, felt countless bamboo sticks, and randomly took one. He looked at it:

"Tuo She Yuan!"

The old man recorded: "Luo Li, Tuo She Yuan!"

Luo Li frowned and said to Gao Peng:

"We're together! What does Tuo She Yuan do?"

Gao Peng, with a half-smile, said:

"Senior Brother, we're in this together now. You'll have to take care of me in the future!

Tuo She Yuan is a slaughterhouse. The spirit beasts raised by the sect are all slaughtered and dissected by us. Various materials are sent to Cai Zhi Hall for clothing, and the bones and meat are given to Xiangjing Kitchen for cooking.

We are butchers. This is the most tiring, dirtiest, and least profitable place! However..."

Luo Li said: "However what?"

Gao Peng said: "However, it's too hard. Senior Brothers with higher realms have all been transferred away. The highest is a Fourth Stage Qi Condensation Senior Brother. There are countless empty rooms, and you don't need to queue for housing like in other places.

Moreover, there's another benefit for you. There are no Senior Brothers with high strength, so it's not too harsh. At least half of your sect benefits can be secured!"

At this moment, Luo Feng drew a stick and got "Yunyou Hall." Seeing this, Gao Peng and the others were all shocked, looking at him as if he were a dead man, but no one said anything.

The old man then said: "Alright, you all have your places. Follow the instructions on your tokens and report to your respective outer courts.

Cultivate well. Remember, if you can't break through the nine qi gates and open the qi sea within a year, you'll be expelled from the outer sect! Don't cry when that happens!

Additionally, at the beginning of next month, the sect will grant a favor. Xiangjing Kitchen will hold a thanksgiving banquet in the evening. Don't forget to attend, as it only happens once a month!"

Everyone bowed and said: "Yes, thank you for your guidance. We will take our leave!"

After saying this, everyone left, walking out of the grand hall and taking out their sect tokens, following the instructions to their respective outer courts.

Everyone parted ways, as they were all in the outer sect and could meet each other at any time, so it wasn't a life-or-death farewell. They all went their separate ways.

Luo Li and Gao Peng walked together for a long time. Gao Peng took a deep breath and whispered:

"The elder knows everything we did outside!

Luo Li was stunned and said: "What happened?"

Gao Peng said: "Yunyou Hall is responsible for traveling outside to gather intelligence. It requires interaction with wandering cultivators and constant wandering.

That kid will soon realize what being a wanderer means and how wrong he was.

This job is actually only available to those at the Fourth Stage Qi Condensation or higher. This kid is doomed. Wandering around, there's no way to cultivate. If he can't break through the nine qi gates and open the qi sea within a year, he'll be expelled from the outer sect.

It seems his big talk was heard by the sect officials, and he didn't sincerely repent, so he was punished!"

Luo Li was also stunned and said: "That's harsh!"

Gao Peng said: "Indeed, the path to immortality is cut off. This is the world of cultivation. One misstep, and you're doomed!"

Luo Li shook his head. He and Gao Peng followed the instructions on their sect tokens, walking quickly and avoiding the area.

Following the instructions on their tokens, they arrived at the entrance of a stone building, which read "Tuo She Yuan."

They knocked on the door and entered respectfully. Inside, there was a large man drinking a small drink, half-asleep. The man had a big head, a thick neck, thick eyebrows, and a large mouth. Seeing them, he said:

"Pass through a thousand flowers, not a single leaf sticks! We just received a notice from the sect that two new guys are joining Tuo She Yuan, and that's you two!"

Luo Li bowed and said: "Pass through a thousand flowers, not a single leaf sticks! Greetings, Senior Brother. I am Luo Li, and I pay my respects!"

Gao Peng followed suit and bowed.

The large man smiled and said: "I hope you can last a few days. I am Situ Ya, the Second Officer of Tuo She Yuan, at the Fourth Stage Qi Condensation.

Let's go, I'll take you to the hall to report!"

Gao Peng hesitated and asked: "Isn't this it?"

Situ Ya laughed and said: "How can this be the dirty place of Tuo She Yuan!"

He then led Luo Li and the others to the back yard, where they saw seven or eight strange spirit beasts. These spirit beasts looked like a combination of a caterpillar and a snail, with a snail shell on the back of a caterpillar.

The spirit beast's caterpillar-like body was about ten feet long and one foot thick, with a snail shell about three feet in size. The spirit beast's head was high, and it was a horse's head, looking very strange.

Luo Li saw these strange spirit beasts for the first time and was stunned. Situ Ya laughed and said:

"Don't be surprised. These are the sect's camels, commonly known as grass mud horses. Otherwise, it would take you half a day to get to the outer court. Get on quickly!"

He leaped onto a snail shell, and Luo Li also leaped onto another snail shell. The shell was very stable, and Luo Li sat down firmly.

Gao Peng trembled and climbed up. Situ Ya let out a low roar, and the three camels rushed forward.

Luo Li slowly felt that the camels were as fast as galloping horses, and sitting on the shell was very stable. The most important thing was that the camels moved by jumping, leaping about ten feet at a time, not needing a road. In the mountains and valleys, they moved as if on flat ground, crossing ravines, climbing peaks, and passing through forests with ease.

Luo Li nodded continuously, good stuff, good stuff!

Situ Ya said: "Not bad, these are the special spirit beasts of our Lingdie Sect, specifically for outer sect disciples who can't fly. It's said that these camels evolved from the spirit butterfly, Evil Moon Green Earth Butterfly, and are very useful!"

The camels moved around and quickly reached the halfway point of a mountain, where a waterfall thundered down, and the water flowed gently.

After a few turns, a cluster of buildings appeared. Seeing this, the camels immediately trembled and slowed down, afraid to go further.

Situ Ya said: "See that? That's our Tuo She Yuan. Yushou Hall sends the spirit beasts, and we are responsible for slaughtering and dissecting them. The materials are sent to Cai Zhi Hall for clothing, and the bones and meat are given to Xiangjing Kitchen for cooking. That's your job!"

The camels arrived at the buildings, and a strange smell hit them. It wasn't a foul smell, but it had a pungent and unpleasant odor, a kind of mental sensation.

This was the result of countless spirit beasts being slaughtered over thousands of years, their blood splattering and their cries of pain, accumulating a vast amount of negative energy, forming an unpleasant smell. It was an intangible smell; even if you covered your nose, you could still sense it. Few disciples were willing to come here.

Gao Peng almost vomited from the smell, covering his nose tightly, but in the end, he opened his mouth and started to vomit!

Luo Li just wrinkled his nose. He tasted the smell carefully. It was the smell of slaughter, the smell of endless blood. This smell was very familiar to Luo Li.

He inhaled the smell deeply, taking large breaths to adapt to it. The smell was very unpleasant, but he had to stay here for now and couldn't change it, so he had to adapt to it!

If you stay in a room full of orchids, you won't notice the fragrance; if you stay in a market full of stinky fish, you won't notice the stench.

Since he couldn't change it now, he had to adapt to it! However, adapting was only temporary. Once he adapted completely, he would change it!

If he could change it, dispel the negative energy, and resolve the hatred and resentment that had accumulated for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, how much merit would that be?!
