I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 14 Take the mission and earn spiritual stones
The point where Xuanqingmen distributes tasks is in the square behind the teleportation array in Tianjing City.

I didn't pay attention when I came. At that time, I was only thinking about how to make Lize not dare to leave.

Li Su wanted to take me there, but I refused.

Wandering all the way to the mission point, there were already many people in the square.

I got into the crowd and looked through the rows.

The tasks are based on levels. A disciple like me in the Qi refining stage will receive level one and level two, then level three and level four in the foundation building stage, and so on.

Therefore, apart from the sect leader and the senior brothers who were in seclusion, Li Ze could only take over Xuan Yin's tasks. The other disciples, whose cultivation levels were too low, might have been sent home before they even saw Xuan Yin.

I walked around in front of the first and second level mission lists, carefully considering which one I should take.

The first time I took a mission, I didn’t understand anything. I didn’t know anything until I came. If I took the mission but didn’t complete it, two gold spirit stones would be withheld.

The fairy grass used to refine the Yuanling Pill, Yuanling grass, one low-grade spirit stone and two, a total of 200 are needed. I don’t know it.

Next, Yunwu Mountain hunts monster civets, two low-grade spirit stones and one, no limit, at least one hundred per person.

This is okay!

But I have never been to Yunwu Mountain, and I don’t know whether it is dangerous or not. Let’s take a look.

Keep records at the entrance of the teleportation array, one low-grade spiritual stone per day, no limit, at least one month.

This is too boring, I might as well be a cook in the house.

Huiqingdong mining, piece rate.

This, if we can't dig it down, isn't our work in vain?
Forget it, let’s see again.

After many choices, I finally chose to go to Yunwu Mountain to try my luck at hunting civet cats.

He reached out and clicked on the task, and a mark in the shape of a cat's head was printed on his wrist.

I was teleported directly to the entrance of Yunwu Mountain.

There are already many monks here at this moment, and several of them have the word "Xuan" rusted on their Qiankun bags.

When those people saw me, they quickly saluted, "I've met my ancestor."

"Well, do your job well." Every time I hear someone call me ancestor, I feel like I am getting old.

After we dispersed, a few of us walked together up the mountain.

Yunwu Mountain got its name from the clouds and fog. It was already noon, and the sky was clear outside when we arrived, but the mountain was filled with fog as if it were morning, and there was no sunlight in the forest.

The further you go, the darker it gets.

There are still dewdrops hanging on the branches.

My long gown was given to me by Mr. Tianqi. It can protect me from wind and rain, as well as keep me warm and cold.

At this moment, all the dewdrops were blocked outside, and other people were unfortunately soaked by the dewdrops.

After emerging from the forest, they used their spiritual power to evaporate the dew on their bodies before sitting down to rest.

"I wonder how long we have to walk before we find the civet." A monk who came here for the first time asked his fellow disciples.

I also looked sideways and saw that the man was sitting not far from me. He was young and very handsome.

He stood up and looked around, then looked up at the sky covered in fog.

"There is a canyon ahead. You can go there, but it is not easy to get through. The reason why the civet cat was able to get two spiritual stones and one spirit stone is all because of this canyon. Please wish yourselves good luck."

Those who have never been here have frowned, but those who have been there seem to know the secrets of the past, and they all smile and look calm.

I approached the disciple who just spoke, "Have you been there?"

He lowered his head and said, "Yes, ancestor."

"Then can you tell me how to get through it later?"

"There is a barrier set up above the canyon, and no magic weapon can fly."

Can't use it? I haven't practiced flying with a sword yet, so I could have relied on the Emei Ci to take me there. But if the Emei Ci can't fly, then I won't be able to go.

I also frowned, feeling discouraged.

The handsome disciple said again, "Ancestor, don't worry, I know a passage, but you need to avoid other people later."

As soon as I heard that he had an idea, I quickly raised the corners of my lips and nodded to him, "That's good, that's good."

"What's your name?"

"Disciple Jing Zheng, Zheng Zheng, an iron-clad Zheng."

"Jingzheng, thank you for taking me." I thanked him in a low voice.

"Ancestor, you're welcome." Everyone rested for a while, then stood up and continued walking forward. Jingzheng took me and a few other disciples to the back, and gradually separated from them.

After he could no longer see the person in front of him, Jingzheng turned around and walked to the other side, and the other disciples of the Xuanqing Sect also turned to follow.

The branches became denser and denser along the way, making it difficult to walk smoothly. There were several small cuts on my cheek, and blood slowly oozed out.

Jingzheng took a small porcelain bottle and handed it to me, "Ancestor, just rub this jade spirit ointment and it will be fine."

He gestured on his face.

I took the porcelain bottle, poured some and applied it on my face. It was refreshing and cool, with a faint medicinal fragrance.

I returned the porcelain vase to him. This porcelain vase was so beautiful, so it must be cheap. I turned it around and looked at it, "How many spiritual stones are there in one bottle?"

"This bottle of low-grade spiritual stone costs ten yuan. I bought it before going up the mountain." Jingzheng is really well-behaved, handsome, and very polite.

But this is so expensive. I only have enough spirit stones to buy two bottles, so I can’t bear to part with it.

"Why are these medicines so expensive?"

"Raw materials are hard to find, and the prices charged for spirit grass are also high these days. Yuanling grass among these is hard to find."

"I saw the mission, but I didn't take it."

After thinking about it, I added, "I don't know what Yuanling grass looks like."

"The ancestor didn't know something. When I took the mission, the appearance of those items was in the mark. If you don't believe it, go in and have a look."

This is the first time I know.

I used my spiritual sense to probe in, and the appearance of a civet cat indeed appeared in my mind.

Just like an ordinary cat, its body is pitch black, its tail is relatively large, and it is raised high. The only difference is that there is an extra triangular mark on its forehead.

Set off again, after two sticks of incense, we finally arrived at the canyon. The path Jingzheng chose was shorter than other places, about two meters.

Jingzheng took out a bracelet with a thin wire attached to it.

He raised his hand and pointed the bracelet on his wrist at a big tree on the other side of the canyon. The filaments flew away and wrapped tightly around the tree. Zhengzheng turned twice more to the tree pole next to him.

The other disciples all took out the rings, hung them on the thin wire, and rowed them all the way across.

"Is this thread strong?"

"Ancestor, don't worry, this Thousand Machine Ring was made by Tianji Academy, and the silk is made of black iron. Even though it is thin, it can be chopped with a knife and cannot be melted by fire."

Jingzheng handed me an iron ring, and I took it, "Then I'll go over there, how can you go over there alone?"

"As soon as I close it, it will pull me over."

I no longer hesitated, took the iron ring and drew it along the thin wire.

After everyone passed the canyon, Jingzheng took us a little further. At this moment, Yunwu Mountain was as dark as night.

"It's best when it's dark. The civet's eyes will shine at night, making it easy to find."

Several people spread out and squatted in a spot.

From time to time, a cat meows from several points in the distance.

There's no movement on my side yet.

I planted the flag, made a simple magic circle, and hid behind the tree.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, the magic circle was activated. Five civet cats were trapped in my magic circle. They were bumping around inside and meowing to get out.

I took out the Qiankun bag and faced the magic circle, "Take it."

All the civet cats were taken in.

I collected two magic circles and set up four more magic circles in other places.

This time more civets came.

After being busy until midnight, Jingzheng and the others had a good harvest, and they were all smiling.

The least one belongs to me, there are only more than a hundred.

Thinking of this, there are hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones.

Come a few more times and get a mid-grade spiritual stone, and it will no longer be a dream.

Wait, I wanted to exchange for the mid-grade spiritual stone to buy the Tongxin Bell, and now the Tongxin Bell is available.

Then save it to open the well back to the human world.

No, you can also look at the dust mirror.
