Chapter 234 - 126: The Destiny Worker (Combined 8k Chapter for Monthly Votes)_3
Thinking about the cold centuries that awaited him, facing two wooden stakes, Shen Wuque almost shivered in fear. He couldn’t provoke his master, and his happy life was reliant on his junior brother.
With this in mind, Shen Wuque couldn’t help taking a glance at Xiang Chen. At that moment, Xiang Chen suddenly shivered, but after some sleuthing found nothing out of the ordinary; he looked over at Shen Wuque who had lifted his gaze to the sky, pretending as if nothing had transpired.
Liang Sheng of course didn’t know about Shen Wuque’s thoughts at that moment, for if he had, he would have promptly distanced himself.
There was no issue with Shen Wuque, but Liang Sheng simply wanted to safely acquire the Golden Yuan Pill Formula.
After Liang Sheng returned to his cave mansion, he began organizing the information he had gathered today. He wasn’t concerned about bumping into Chen Ming in the spiritual field; instead, he pondered his next course of action.
The foundation of the Dan Ding Sect was still pill refining!
When it comes to auxiliary professions like array refining and weapon refining, the Dan Ding Sect is not outstanding but still superior compared to Loose Cultivators. Previous incidents involving Golden Core Elders were due to their relative lack of expertise in these areas.
The word “Immortal City” that Liang Sheng heard earlier stirred his heart, but in the end, he shook his head and decided not to dwell on it. Regardless, these were not situations he could confront at the moment.
Right now, he would have to use the Dan Ding Sect as his most crucial stepping stone. As the personal disciple of the Green Cloud Peak’s master, he naturally had monthly tasks.
The tasks were simple: to refine four furnaces of True Yuan Pills or fifteen furnaces of Qi Refining Pills. This was the monthly portion of elixirs that Liang Sheng, as a Foundation Establishment Disciple of Green Cloud Peak, needed to hand over to Jin Quanxiu.
Otherwise, how could the sect support them every month for free? If there are rights to be enjoyed, there are also responsibilities to be fulfilled.
Naturally, after completing their tasks, they can spend their remaining time as they see fit. Otherwise, people like Shen Wuque wouldn’t be able to be as unrestrained as they were.
They could also take on tasks from the Internal Affairs Office and the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall during this time. Otherwise, how would they obtain points to exchange for Cultivation Law Essentials or resources from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall?
It was like joining a large company in a past life, with the principle being “the more you work, the more you get”. However, along with job security, Liang Sheng now longed for it.
This is because he was different from others. Others need to avail every moment for cultivation. The existence of each realm’s bottleneck is like shackles obstructing a cultivator’s progress.
Some people might take years to break through the bottleneck of the next realm after their current realm is fulfilled, and some might not be able to break through the bottleneck even after decades.
However, there are also lucky ones who unknowingly, directly break through the bottleneck and advance successfully. This is why cultivators often mention “fortune and destiny”.
Liang Sheng did not worry about his monthly elixir portion task, but he couldn’t just finish the task casually.
He took the risk before to become an Inner Sect Disciple as soon as possible. Now, he doesn’t need to stand out too much, and of course, he doesn’t need to be mediocre, just being average would suffice.
Although Liang Sheng wanted to go to Danyang Peak as soon as possible, he decided to stay at Green Cloud Peak for a few days to observe the situation.
For the next few days, Liang Sheng went directly to the Green Cloud Peak Alchemy Pavilion and went into his private alchemy chamber.
The spiritual energy here was stable, which was much better than outside for his alchemy practice. He took ten days to refine four furnaces of True Yuan Pill, then he went to find Xiang Chen, handed in his monthly portion, which left Xiang Chen somewhat dumbfounded.
“Junior brother, 1 forgot to tell you. The Foundation Establishment Pill you refined in front of our master can replace your portion for the next two months. You don’t need to work so hard.”
Xiang Chen was somewhat embarrassed at this moment because he forgot to tell Liang Sheng that the Foundation Establishment Pill he refined during the initiation ceremony had already counted for his tasks for the next two months.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly explained the situation in detail, “Besides, junior brother, you don’t have to hand in the portion once a month. As long as you can make up the portion at the end of each year, it’s fine.”
Having said that, Xiang Chen winked, and Liang Sheng immediately understood. Liang Sheng felt that Green Cloud Peak, under the leadership of Jin Quanxiu, was indeed full of human touch.
Liang Sheng immediately expressed his thanks, Xiang Chen couldn’t help praising, “However, seeing how diligent you are, junior brother, I’m very comforted.
If Shen Wuque was as diligent as you, I wouldn’t have to worry about him. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, feel free to ask me.”
Liang Sheng nodded. He didn’t refuse Xiang Chen’s kindness. Xiang Chen, watching Liang Sheng leaving, was extremely satisfied.
He, too, was such a diligent character. Although Jin Quanxiu seemed sloppy, he was actually extremely diligent. Only Shen Wuque seemed a bit laid back.
“No, second brother is too casual. If his alchemy skills are surpassed by the junior brother in the future, I’m afraid our master will be angry.
Moreover, if so, wouldn’t second brother be greatly disgraced? It seems I need to urge the second junior brother more during this period. 1 can’t let him continue in his laziness.”
Thinking about this, Xiang Chen felt more and more that he needed to restrain Shen Wuque, so he immediately set off to Shen Wuque’s cave mansion.
Shen Wuque could not have expected that while he was sitting at home, trouble would fall from the sky.
Danyang Peak.
Scripture Repository.
At this time, Liang Sheng appeared calm on the outside, but was careful on the inside. Just stepping into the Scripture Repository gave him the impression of being seen through.
Of course, this was just his own feeling.. After all, who could truly see through himself, the owner of the Attribute Panel?
