Killing God - Chapter 35
Chapter 35 Little Uncle
“Shen Shi!”
Shen Shi had just taken a few steps out of the Morning Star Hall when he heard someone shouting his name. He looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw Sun You standing under a large tree more than ten steps away, smiling and waving at him. At the same time, there was a man and a woman standing beside him, two teenagers.
Shen Shi greeted him with a smile. He quickly walked over, When they got closer, they realized that the two people standing beside Sun Youyou seemed to be somewhat familiar to them. The girl who smiled sweetly and smiled sweetly was He Xiaomei, who had many spirit crystals on her yesterday. There was also another teenager. Shen Shi did not know his name, but his appearance was somewhat familiar. He remembered that she was also in a group of ten with him.
“What did Senior Brother Wang say to you unlucky people?”
Beside him, He Xiaomei and the boy also looked at Shen Shi in the blink of an eye, and their expressions were filled with curiosity.
Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s just a few words to explain. It’s only been a few days since the backlash. It’ll be the same in the future.”
Sun You laughed loudly and patted Shen Shi on the shoulder. “That’s how it is. Oh, let me introduce you. This is He Xiaomei, and this is Jiang Hongguang. They are the senior siblings that Senior Brother Su He picked with us yesterday.”
Shen Shi thought to himself that he had indeed remembered correctly. He had also smiled and met the two of them. Jiang Hongguang seemed to be somewhat reserved in speaking to strangers, but there was nothing rude about his etiquette. He Xiaomei seemed to have a much more lively temperament. She smiled happily and did not show any shyness at all. She looked like a cheerful and lively young girl who loved to laugh.
Young Friend Sun said to Shen Shi, “When I left Morning Star Temple, I planned to wait for you here. I happened to meet the two of them. After all, they were both supervised by the same senior apprentice-brother yesterday. It was a bit of fate. We just chatted a few words. Everyone planned to go to White Crane Hall to take a look at the tasks set by the sect. We might as well wait for you together.”
Shen Shi laughed heartily and said, “This is perfect. Then let’s go together.”
With that, the four of them turned around and walked towards the other end of the Green Fish Market.
At this moment, it was already a moment ago. The Bluefish Market looked very lively. Adding on the 400-odd youths who had come out of the Morning Star Palace, the streets here were a little crowded. From afar, the pavilions in the palace hall rose and fell. People came and went. It really looked like an ordinary busy market in the mundane world. However, the scale was naturally small.
The four of them walked along the road for a while. As Shen Shi chatted with the other three people, he carefully looked at the shops and found that there were indeed quite a few shops in them. However, they were not very large in scale. Moreover, the people guarding the shops were usually all wearing Lingxiao Sect disciple clothing. However, he did not know what the purpose of these shops was.
After walking for such a long time, he could already see a tall house in front of him. It was three stories tall, and there was a White Crane statue on the roof that was about to fly. It looked lifelike. It must be the White Crane Hall mentioned in Ling Xiao’s sketch yesterday.
White Crane was an immortal bird. Its character was high and pure, and its aura was extraordinary. Many famous immortal clans in Spirit Mountain resorts in the world raised it, and it was also a first-rate representative spirit item in the eyes of mortals. The White Crane Hall was one of the most important places on Bluefish Island. Along the way, Shen Shi and the others saw many of the youths who were similar to them walking that way. Some even saw that it was obviously Su He’s generation’s senior brothers and sisters who were also walking around White Crane Hall.
According to the introduction in Brief Introduction to Ling Xiao, The most important function of the White Crane Hall, there will be many missions issued by the Lingxiao Sect sect, Difficulties vary, Some of them were specifically targeted at the new disciples who had just entered the sect. If he successfully completed these missions, he would be rewarded with some spirit crystals. This was also the compensation method that Lingxiao Sect had given after strictly prohibiting rookies from bringing spirit crystals into the sect to cultivate. At the same time, it was also a method that allowed many rookies to rely on themselves to start cultivating the Dao under basically the same predicament.
Shen Shi naturally didn’t know whether this unusual method was effective or not. However, since he had joined the High Firmament Sect, he didn’t have any other thoughts. He just had to follow the rules of the High Firmament Sect and cultivate.
The four of them walked all the way to the White Crane Hall. In the open space in front of this tall house, they dug out a small pond at some unknown time. The water inside was dark green, and there were many lotus leaves and lotus flowers planted. There were also many azure duckweed floating on the pond. It was slightly rippling in the wind and looked very elegant.
Along the way, the four of them were familiar with each other. Even Jiang Hongguang, who had been a little reserved at the beginning, seemed to have let go of his laughter. After all, the young man’s temperament was still fond of friends and liveliness. As for the only girl, He Xiaomei, she was cheerful and generous. Her appearance was also beautiful, and her smile was very sweet. Unknowingly, she had become the center of the four of them. She smiled happily and chatted and smiled all the way. Everyone was in a good mood.
When they arrived at the White Crane Hall, the four of them did not delay. They only looked around and walked into the room. Only He Xiaomei looked left and right when she entered. She also asked if there were really white cranes nearby. Sun You was also stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said with uncertainty, “There shouldn’t be any.”
He Xiaomei glared at him and said, “Didn’t you just say that your family is a subordinate aristocratic family here? Why didn’t you even know about such a small matter?”
“Young miss, who would normally care about this …” Young friend Sun cried out in grievance.
Shen Shi and Jiang Hongguang smiled and did not speak. Apart from Sun You, who was from a local aristocratic family in Liuyun City, the other three people had all come from other places. Needless to say, Shen Shi had traveled thousands of miles from Yin Province to Haizhou. He Xiaomei’s hometown was even farther away, She is a native of White Stone City in the northeast of the Primordial Chaos Master Realm. I heard that she is the only daughter of a famous wandering cultivator. No wonder she casually took out fifty spirit crystals that day. She must have been doted on by her father. However, she is now as penniless as the others. Oh, except for the only spirit crystal used for cultivation …
As for the remaining Jiang Hongguang, his background seemed to be the most ordinary amongst the four. He was a farmer’s child from a certain place in the “Yang Province” adjacent to Hai Zhou. He was accidentally favored by a senior passing by in Lingxiao Sect for his talent. Only then did he recommend him to join Lingxiao Sect. He was lucky enough to obtain this immortal fate. When Shen Shi heard Jiang Hongguang’s background, his gaze quietly swept past Jiang Hongguang’s palm. Indeed, he saw how thick his fingers were. It seemed that he had indeed done rough work before.
Because they were waiting for Shen Shi, when the four of them arrived at White Crane Hall, they saw that quite a few youths had already arrived before them. At this moment, the crowd was crowded, as if they were all scattering around the White Crane Hall in twos and threes. After Shen Shi and the others entered the door, they discovered that the first floor of the White Crane Hall in front of them was very spacious. It could accommodate hundreds of people without any crowding at all. The doors and windows around the room were all open, and the light shone in from outside, making it look very bright.
Five very large wooden plates were placed in the middle of the room, It was located in the middle hall and occupied the largest area. It was divided into white, green, red, yellow, and purple colors. There were many square white papers written all over them. Many youths were looking up from under the wooden plates. The number of youths in front of the white wooden plates was the largest, and the fewer people came, the fewer. Apart from these youths, there were also some older youths. People of the same generation as Senior Brother Su He also walked around the White Crane Hall yesterday. However, most of the places they lingered in were the places with a few signs at the back.
On both sides of the wooden tablet, The White Crane Hall was leaning against the wall, There were also some Lingxiao Sect disciples who stood on either side, Standing behind a few conspicuous wooden bars, they waited quietly. Occasionally, someone would run over and ask them a few questions. They usually answered patiently. Some people were certain that they wanted to take on certain tasks first, so they would ask them. These senior brothers and senior sisters also quickly helped them complete the record. However, these Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who worked in White Crane Hall seemed to be quite old and had extraordinary auras. They were no longer at the Qi Refining Realm.
Sun You pointed at the wooden tokens of different colors and said to the three people beside him, “See, the things on those wooden tokens are the most important source for us to earn money and cultivate spirit crystals in the future.”
He Xiaomei clenched her fists, looking a little excited. She looked energetic and said in a stack, “Come on, let’s go take a look. Otherwise, all the easy-to-do people will be snatched away by others.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hongguang felt that it made sense. He hurriedly echoed, “That’s right, Xiao Mei is right. Let’s go quickly.”
Shen Shi glanced at Sun You. Seeing his confident appearance, he smiled and didn’t say anything. Sure enough, Sun You waved his hand and smiled, “It’s fine. The tasks on the whiteboard are the most basic things that the sect issues. There is no limit on the number of times you can take them at any time.” As he spoke, he looked around and waved to the other three people. He smiled and said, “Follow me first.”
As he spoke, he led the three of them around the crowd of people who were looking at the wooden token and walked over to the left side of White Crane Hall. There were several Lingxiao Sect disciples who were answering and registering missions. They were all very comfortable and relaxed.
Sun You brought them to the front of the last senior brother and stopped. First, he smiled and nodded at the senior brother. The senior brother smiled but did not say anything. Then, Sun You turned around and called them over. He pointed at the senior brother and smiled, “Everyone, come and meet my uncle.”
Shen Shi was stunned, and then his gaze landed on this senior brother. He looked to be in his early thirties, and his face was fierce. His eyes were sharp, and he looked like a capable person. At this moment, when Sun You said that, he also laughed and said, “You are all friends of Little Friend. My name is Xu Xing, and I am Little Friend’s uncle. I usually work in White Crane Hall. If you need my help in the future, just come and find me.”
Shen Shi and the others all smiled and nodded in agreement. Sun You turned around and smiled, “Little Uncle, what did I tell you earlier?”
Xu Xing smiled and beckoned for the four of them to get closer. Then, he smiled and said, “We are friends of little friends, so we are not outsiders. I have worked in White Crane Hall for a while, so I have some insights into the mission here.” “Everyone is new here. There are many tasks on the whiteboard, and they are easy to pick. I feel that there are a few of them that are more suitable for everyone. Let me tell you about them.”
After the initial shock, the youths were all overjoyed. Someone secretly gave them some pointers to save time and effort. It was really a good thing at the beginning of the embarrassment of cultivation. Apart from being overjoyed, Shen Shi also smiled and nodded to Xu Xing to express his gratitude. At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind. He quietly glanced at Sun You and Xu Xing, his uncle and nephew, and thought to himself,
Although the rules of the High Firmament Sect were good, it seemed that the vassal clans had lived with the High Firmament Sect for many years. The tentacles of the aristocratic clans had probably touched every corner of the sect long ago. These aristocratic clan disciples would still have some undetectable advantages over ordinary clans, right?
