Vol 2 Chapter 37: Hall of Homecoming

The little black pig seems to always be so happy. When he followed Shen Shi to the Guanhai Terrace, he bounced on the stone steps of the mountain road and trot all the way, and from time to time he went to the dense green trees on both sides of the road. The last time I drilled, I didn't know what I had done secretly in it. After a while, he ran out with a hum, and returned to Shen Shi's side, occasionally rubbing against him, very affectionate.
As they approached the Observation Platform, the number of Lingxiaozong disciples around them obviously began to increase. When Shen Shi once again stood on this platform with seven huge pillars erected and wide enough to overlook the boundless sea, he only felt The sea breeze is blowing head-on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the world is boundless.
In the square around Guanhaitai, there are already many Lingxiaozong disciples walking around, especially near the important palaces and pavilions around them, they are very popular. Perhaps because he had already broken through to the Ning Yuan realm a few days ago, Shen Shi unknowingly calmed down a lot. It seems that he no longer feels cramped that day, and the inexplicable pressure is much less.
In the past few days, while cultivating in the cave, he also carefully read the rules for the disciples of the Lingxiaozong and the "Geography of Haizhou" that he brought back that day, so now he has the daily practice life and all the rules of the sect. A basic understanding. The High Heaven Sect will send fifteen spiritual crystals to each disciple of the Ning Yuan realm every month. This is the most basic requirement for cultivation. However, anyone who has a little pursuit in the practice knows that this spiritual crystal cannot support the real cultivator. Fully practice.
All kinds of panacea, many rare and rare spiritual materials, which one does not need a large number of spiritual crystals to support?
As long as the disciples who have joined the High Heaven Sect have cultivated to the Ning Yuan realm and have reached the Golden Rainbow Mountain, all the restrictions on Qingyu Island before will be released. In other words, the difference in family background will begin after climbing on the Golden Rainbow Mountain. The real reveals. Those wealthy vassal families can use the spirit crystals accumulated by the family to support their disciples almost unlimitedly. This allows people from family backgrounds like Sun You and Zhong sisters to take great advantage and avoid many detours. . As for ordinary disciples like Shen Shi, who the familyless people thought to rely on, he had to spend a lot of thoughts on how to earn spiritual crystals.
Of course, this is not fair, and for this reason, among the disciples of the Ling Xiaozong family, disciples from aristocratic families and disciples from civilians are often somewhat separated, and they will faintly form two circles that are not harmonious. However, this is just a general statement. Friends are the most important thing to know, and friends on both sides are also seen from time to time. For example, Shen Shi and Sun You are not uncommon.
Shen Shi would naturally envy the children of the aristocratic family who have a family to support Lingjing, but compared to some fellow students who often mutter some grievances, his mentality is very peaceful, and the reason is very simple. Looking at the casual cultivators outside Ling Xiaozong, by comparison, he was already considered lucky.
Walking all the way to the east side of the Guanhaitai, Shen Shi stopped outside a tall hall, looked up, and saw the hall towering majestic, majestic, and lifelike eaves carved beasts, red lacquered pillars and mysterious doors and windows. They are all open, and a large plaque hung above the main entrance with three characters: Guixin Hall.
The halls that can occupy a prominent position around the Guanhaitai are very important places under the Lingxiaozong sect. This Guixin Hall is no exception, and Shen Shi has already introduced the many rules and even the situation of the sect of the Lingxiaozong from that book. According to the rules, this Guixin Hall is similar to the White Crane Hall on Qingyu Island on Jinhong Mountain. It is the hall where all the disciples are issued various tasks in the sect.
Such a place will naturally be the most popular place in the sect. The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect are walking in and out one after another, and it is very lively. Shen Shi also followed the flow of people and brought the little black pig into this extremely large-scale area. The big hall.
After entering the hall, there is no feeling of darkness in front of you. The doors and windows around the hall are bright and light, and they are almost the same as those on the outer sea observatory. In the large space of the hall, the most eye-catching is the two erected in the hall. The stone walls are tens of feet long, and you can vaguely feel the aura flowing. One is white and the other is dark gold. The colors are different, but there are clear texts appearing on the stone walls, and the aura flashes, as if the two stone walls themselves are incapable. The magic weapon of underestimation.
Shen Shi was also eye-opening, and he had some suspicions in his heart. He walked closer and took a closer look. Sure enough, many of the words on the two stone walls were the entrances of the halls in the sect or directly issued tasks as the sect of the high sect. Compared with the appearance of the stickers on the wooden boards in Baihetang on Herring Island, it is really different on Jinhong Mountain.
Shen Shi smiled softly in his heart, and then, like the many Lingxiaozong disciples around him, began to carefully read the mission text on the stone wall. After looking at it for a while, and comparing it back and forth between the two stone walls, Shen Shi found some of the differences. The white stone walls are relatively common tasks, and the sect or the entrance of the mission is very important for completing the task. The disciples will give more or less spiritual crystal rewards. Generally speaking, the rewards are not bad. The number of quests on the golden stone wall is obviously much less than that of the white wall, but the number of disciples watching around the golden wall is indeed more. That's because only tasks on the golden wall will show more rewards than spirit crystals. An important reward is the mysterious talisman count that Sun You had mentioned to him yesterday.
According to the introduction in the disciple rules, Shen Shi now has a clearer understanding of the mysterious talisman count. He knows that although the spirit crystals under the Lingxiao Sect are extremely useful, some of the most important and high-end training resources need this kind of mysteriousness. The talisman count, or the number of points obtained above the mysterious talisman.
For example, in the Hall of Spirit Medicines, you can purchase and consume the spirit pills below the second rank, but once you reach the third rank, the value of the spirit pills will skyrocket. At the same time, there are some rare and rare spirit pills on this rank. , It can no longer be purchased with spirit crystals, and can only be exchanged with a fixed mysterious talisman count. And to a higher level, to the fourth rank and above the spirit pill, you can only use the mysterious amulet to count.
Similar to this situation, there are also various spiritual resources related to cultivation, including various minerals, formations, spiritual tools and magic weapons, etc. The only exception is the various Taoist magical powers that the disciples themselves want to cultivate. The secret scrolls of classics, all the passage methods under the Lingxiaozong sect, except that you can choose one of the seventeen kinds of exercises for free when you just climbed the Jinhong Mountain, all future Taoist magical powers will need to be exchanged for the mysterious talisman count.
Unless...a certain disciple formally worships one of the twenty-two Yuan Dan realm of the Lingxiaozong, then the master's teaching of the disciple's Taoism and supernatural powers will naturally not have additional restrictions.
But all of this is of course very far away from Shen Shi. In fact, among the thousands of direct disciples on Jinhong Mountain, less than half of them are lucky enough to get the disciples valued by the real person of the Yuan Dan realm. Therefore, Shen Shi didn't think too much now, he still wanted to find some tasks as a matter of urgency. He would first earn the spirit crystals.
However, since the realm reached the Ningyuan realm, Ling Xiaozong would no longer specifically restrict his disciples from going out. As long as the cost of a spiritual crystal, they can take the zongmen cross sea fairy boat to the mainland and travel to all parts of Haizhou, so even if you don’t receive the sect For door quests, as long as you do things outside, such as gathering medicine or hunting monsters to collect spiritual materials and then selling them to shops in Floating Cloud City, you can also get spirit crystals.
Shen Shi had such a plan in his heart, but the rewards of the sect mission were said to be better than those of blindly running around, so he also watched carefully from here on the white wall. As for the task of rewarding the mysterious talisman on the golden wall, After seeing several mission introductions, Shen Shi gave up reluctantly. These missions with precious rewards are not even a bit more difficult than the missions here in Baibi. They often have to face not dangerous and unpredictable places, but to find them. Some rare and rare heavenly materials and earth treasures, and even some missions directly specify that they are going to deal with some fourth-order and fifth-order monsters that have already been cultivated into demon pill, and they are beyond the scope of Shen Shi's ability. In desperation, he could only give up.
There is a chance to have strength in the future, let's go and see, Shen Shi secretly said to himself, anyway, the road always has to be walked step by step.
After watching the white wall for a long time and watching many tasks, Shen Shi found that the task requirements here seem to be different from those on Herring Island. Generally speaking, there is no fixed amount limit, but there are clear and clear time requirements, such as Dantang has issued a task to collect four spiritual materials, including Shiluo, Jade Magpie Root, Spider Grass, and Black Toad Skin, within seven days. The amount is not limited. The return depends on the spiritual materials handed in. If it is only handed in One or two kinds of spirit materials can receive a normal amount of spirit crystals, but if you turn in a set of four spirit materials at the same time, the reward spirit crystals will be greatly increased, which is quite generous, but the requirement is that after seven days Charge again.
Shen Shi thought for a while, remembering that these four spiritual materials such as Shiluo seemed to be the main materials for refining a kind of "flower pine pill". If you talk about the rank alone, it is already a third-order spiritual pill, and because he was in the sky before. In the experience on the first floor, I know all these four spiritual materials very well, so I plan to see if there is an opportunity, maybe I can try to do this task.
While thinking about it, Shen Shi suddenly felt that someone had patted his shoulder lightly from behind, and turned his head to see, it was a beautiful woman standing behind him, smiling at him.
Shen Shi laughed and said, "Zhong Qinglu, are you here to watch the mission?"
Zhong Qinglu smiled slightly, Xiu found her eyes, her eyes were as light as water, as if she unknowingly made the surrounding crowd lose their color, leaving everyone's eyes with her gentle and charming smile.
"Yes." She smiled and glanced at the task on the white wall in front of her, and said, "Hey, this is our Dantang's task. Are you interested?"
Shen Shi shrugged and said with a smile: "That is to come and take a look, but if you really want to do these white wall tasks, I am afraid that there will be a period of training."
Zhong Qinglu nodded and said: "Yes, when we first went up the mountain, we had to toss for a long time at the beginning, let alone, just go to the surrounding treasures that produce various spiritual materials to find out the terrain. It took a lot of thought."
Having said that, she paused and glanced at Shen Shi, a faint smile with a touch of comfort and gentleness, and said: "It seems that the barrier-breaking pill works well. You have only been back to the mountain for a few days. It suddenly broke the boundary to Ningyuan."
Shen Shi smiled and nodded, and said, "I'm lucky, okay, you watch first, I'm going to make money." He said a bit jokingly in the last sentence. Unconsciously, it suddenly seemed that there was another one. Kind of the familiar feeling after getting acquainted with her on Herring Island, at that time, it seemed that I could have made some jokes with this girl relatively easily.
I don’t know if it’s a similar feeling. A strange but gentle expression flashed across Zhong Qinglu’s face. After groaning for a moment, she suddenly stopped Shen Shi, who had already walked a few steps, and then took him to the hall. An empty place on the edge.
Shen Shi was a little surprised, and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhong Qinglu was silent for a moment, took a deep look at him, and then whispered:
"Do you...remember our deal back then?"
