Seeking the Immortal Way

When Lin Yan heard that there was still work to do to feed the horses, his eyebrows knitted together. He thought to himself that ever since he came to Heavenly Star Peak, he had started to feed the horses.

Looking at the complex expression on the new disciple's face, Deacon Elder Hong Tao was already used to it. Almost every time they distributed tasks in front of the new disciple, everyone would have the same expression.

Hong Tao took out a stack of order badge from his waist and said to everyone: "Now, you all can line up and come to my place to sign up for the job."

Although all the new disciples were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. They all went forward and lined up, constantly weighing the pros and cons, thinking about which job was easier.

Clan Elder Hong Tao started to give out tokens to everyone, as long as they received the tokens, they would accept the job.

It was Lin Yan's turn. Elder Hong Tao asked with a deadpan expression: "Which job are you going to choose?"

Lin Yan thought for a while, then cupped his hands to Clan Elder Hong Tao and said: "Clan Elder, as long as we are not going to feed the horses, we can do whatever you want, we are listening to your orders."

Elder Hong Tao raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Yan in front of him, and casually took out a piece of the order badge.

Lin Yan nodded, took the order badge from Elder Hong Tao and stood in the middle of the fishing party.

After distributing all the tokens, Deacon Elder Hong Tao said to the rest of them: "Alright, you all can continue with your work now. Go to the sect plaza and take out the tokens in your hands.

With that, Hong Tao turned and left with his hands behind his back.

All of the disciples frowned and discussed softly.

"Aren't we supposed to be cultivating immortal arts and becoming strong? "Why would they do such menial work? Is there any difference between this and those normal menial jobs?"

"That's right, we should be assigned these dirty jobs. Why would they be assigned to us?"

"Don't talk so much. Ever since we came to the Sky Cloud Martial Sect, although we have seen some elders and disciples, and have not seen any servants, even the ones who cook in the kitchen are all senior brothers. Thus, for such chores, we naturally have to help the sect."

Forget it, I'll do it myself. I'll eat a lot and not waste too much time on these things, I'll just pick the herbs, feed the horses, and other such things. It's extremely simple, you guys should all speak a little less.

Everyone was complaining as they walked towards the sect's plaza.

After finding the foremen's disciples, everyone handed over their tokens and the foremen's disciples brought them to different areas.

Lin Yan and his group were brought to a cold pond at the back of the sect. This place was densely covered in trees and was overgrown with weeds, and in the middle was a cold pond. The surface of the water was wide and emitted a bone-chilling cold.

The few of them arrived at the side of the cold pond and immediately felt a bone-chilling cold. Everyone shuddered simultaneously.

The deacon disciple looked at them and guessed what they were going to get, and said expressionlessly: "This place is called the Lone Cold Pond, and it has a kind of cold pond bass fish, which is one of the dishes in every kitchen. Moreover, this kind of fish is only found in this cold pond, but the water is so cold that it can pierce the bones, if you accidentally fall into it, the meridians in your body would instantly freeze, and it would be life-threatening."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. They looked at the cold pond beside them with eyes full of fear.

Alright, there are five ships over there, three people in a group. You guys split them among yourselves; remember, you must use the spiritual energy in your bodies to protect yourselves, otherwise, you won't be able to withstand this cold. If you team up well, you can set off, and each ship will have to pay five bass fish to the sect every day, or else you won't be able to exchange them for spirit stones. With that, the deacon disciple turned around and left.

Everyone thought for a bit and began forming a team. Naturally, they were willing to be with those with a high level of cultivation. In such a dangerous situation, if something bad happened, they could look out for each other.

Lin Yan stood at the side and observed the cold pond in front of him. The cold air above the pond was bone-chilling cold and Lin Yan could clearly feel a sliver of dangerous aura.

Closing his eyes, Lin Yan realized that although the cold aura of the cold pond was pressing on him, it was filled with spirit energy. The closer he was to the west, the denser it became.

At this time, all the seniors had already formed their own teams and were rowing the boats, forcing the spiritual energy to protect them as they slowly advanced towards the center of the pond.

Right now, there were only three people left on the shore: Lin Yan, Hua An and Tang Boyang.

Lin Yan could already predict the outcome that would happen. After all, his cultivation level was low and no one was willing to form a team with him.

Hua An and Tang Boyang had only just reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Other than Lin Yan, the other two Cultivation Level s were the weakest here.

Lin Yan glanced at the two people beside him. Hua An was about the same age as him, with a tall and slender figure and a handsome appearance.

He looked at the lake in the distance, at a loss of what to do. From the looks of it, before he entered the sect, he should have been the young master of a clan. Naturally, he did not know what to do with this kind of work.

Tang Boyang, who was standing to the side, was in stark contrast to Hua An. Although he was wearing the same sect uniform, he was tall and well-built. The sect uniform made his clothes look slightly tight on his body.

Lin Yan observed the two of them, smiled and cupped his hands: "Senior Brothers, since there's only the three of us left, why don't we form a team and seize the time to quickly capture five Frigid Pond perch so that we can return and report back to the sect."

Hua An glanced at Lin Yan and sighed lightly. Honestly speaking, he didn't want to be in the same squad as Lin Yan, but there was nothing he could do right now.

He smiled and said to Lin Yan: "Sure, sure, sure, since the others aren't willing to work with us, then we can form a team. Don't worry, before I entered the sect, my family relied on fishing to survive, so this kind of job, will naturally not be a problem."

Lin Yan nodded and the three of them boarded the boat.

The boat swept away the cold lake water and started to row towards the center of the lake. However, just as the boat moved far, Lin Yan suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop as an ice-cold aura attacked him from all directions. In the blink of an eye, a layer of white frost formed on his brows and hair.
