Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 102 Mission
There are mines in the mountains, especially iron mines.

The evil spirit is strong.

Simple stone houses are scattered throughout the mountains and forests, and outer disciples can choose any uninhabited stone house to live in.

There is no fairy palace floating in the clouds, nor any immortal family that is detached from the world and does not eat grains. There is only...

desolate!

Ruined!

Suffocating!

"Xianmen..."

Looking at the busy miners at the foot of the mountain and the dangerous and vicious place in front of her, Ning Ruxue's pretty face showed a complicated expression.

It's like the unwillingness after the beautiful fantasy in your heart is punctured by someone.

"That's it?"

"Ruxue." After spending a few days together, Mu Tian felt that he had a close relationship with her and already called her by her name.

He rubbed the whip marks on his body with a grin and said:
"I've said before, don't have too many illusions about immortal sects. There's not much difference between immortal sects and martial arts gangs, but the environment of Mingxu Sect is indeed a bit worse."

"This is temporary. As long as we can achieve Xiantian, we can become true outer disciples and leave here."

"Look at Lao Yan, that's the case."

Ning Ruxue shook her head slightly.

After Yan Bohu was taken away, he could choose a slightly better stone house at the foot of the mountain, but that was all.

Conditions have improved, but not much.

It was completely different from the magnificent fairyland scene she had imagined.

"Humph!"

Ding Hu snorted coldly:

"What outer disciples? I think they are similar to the miners here, except they dig the ore while we refine it."

"Not bad." Ding Peng narrowed his eyes.
"Five Iron Evil Stones a month. Even if I use Spirit Crystals to offset three, there are still two that need to be condensed."

"How can I practice cultivation if I spend all my time on smelting ore?"

“How to achieve innateness?”

"Now that things have come to this, let's take it one step at a time." Zhu Ju looked around and consoled himself:
"The Mingxu Sect is, after all, a righteous sect. They won't exploit us like this. Perhaps there's still hope."

"I hope so." Ning Ruxue sighed:

"Let's find a place to stay first."

"Yes." Ding Peng's eyes lit up:
"Ruxue, where are you going to live? How about we live next door to each other? That way, we can look after each other if something happens."

As an outer sect disciple, Zhu Ju received a set of clothes, an identity token, and selected a long sword as a backup.

There was also food for a few days and a black jar that could store evil spirits.

residence,

The location he chose was neither too close nor too far from Ning Ruxue and the others.

This mountain is filled with evil energy, and some cracks in the rocks even emit tangible evil energy, so practicing with it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If it weren't for the task of refining the Iron Evil Stone, this mountain would indeed be a treasure land for practicing the 'Earth Evil Mysterious Art'.

unfortunately,

No if!

"The evil spirit is fierce and violent. If you are not careful, it may damage your foundation, especially in a place with such a strong evil spirit."

Sitting cross-legged on the rocks, Zhu Ju stopped practicing the Dharma and seemed to be thinking:
"When you first start practicing Earthly Evil Mystic Art, it's best not to rush into it. First, perfect your methods of drawing, condensing, and refining the evil spirits, so as to avoid harming yourself."

"Well……"

"So, Mingxu Sect is really thinking of the disciples by letting them refine the ore first to master the skills."

What the hell!
If you really care about your disciples, you shouldn't give them such a heavy task, because no one can complete it.

Even if you use spirit crystals to offset it, there won't be much time left for cultivation.

It's pure exploitation!
Zhu Ju didn't know something.

In fact, although Mingxu Sect had asked outer disciples to refine ores in the past, it was not a mandatory task.

Moreover, the sect will buy back the refined ore at the market price, which can be regarded as a means of increasing income.

now.

Clearly something has changed.

Not to mention buying it back at the market price, they even have to pay for it with spirit crystals.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Shen You is aware of this, or if the core disciples tacitly allowed it to happen?"

Shen You has always been on the front line and may not know much about what is happening in the rear.

As for Cao Lei...

He must know!
Thinking back to the whole journey, Cao Lei always had a smile on his face and spoke softly. At that time, I thought he was a kind person, but now I just feel disgusted and nauseous.

Shaking his head, Zhu Ju put away his distracting thoughts and silently practiced the technique of attracting evil spirits from the Disha Xuan Gong.

"lead!"

With a single incantation, the evil spirits of the five elements connected with the evil spirits within the mountain. A wisp of black energy emerged from the cracks in the rocks and sank into the black jar he carried with him.

The art of attracting evil!
The evil spirit is like fog, seemingly illusory but actually very heavy.

If this black jar, which is the size of a human head, is filled, it will weigh dozens of kilograms, which can be used by Zhu Ju for several days of practice.

On the way back, I happened to meet Ning Ruxue.

"Junior Brother Zhu."

Ning Ruxue had just washed her long hair, and her hair was not yet dry. The clothes on her shoulders were soaked with dew, revealing a hint of pink and snow-white. When you got close, you could smell a fresh fragrance.

She glanced at the black jar in Zhu Ju's hand and said with a smile:

"Going to attract evil again?"

"Yes." Zhu Ju nodded:
"Senior Sister, are you going down the mountain?"

Since you have already joined the immortal sect, of course you have to change the way you address her. If the other person is a few years older than you, you should call her senior sister.

"Hmm." Ning Ruxue lightly shook her sleeves, and a black belt sprang out. A closer look revealed that it was not a belt, but a condensed evil spirit:
"I asked around, and I found out that ten strands of Black Iron Evil can be exchanged for one Spirit Crystal, which is much more cost-effective than Iron Evil Ore."

"One Spirit Crystal is equivalent to three Iron Evil Stones. If I refine five strands of Black Iron Evil, it will be enough to complete the task."

Black Iron Evil?
Zhu Ju seemed to be lost in thought.

Xuantiesha is condensed evil energy that can be used directly to practice Dishaxuan Gong. It can also be sold, but doing so will inevitably delay one's own practice.

He then cupped his hands:

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister."

"Hehe..." Ning Ruxue's beautiful eyes turned:

"Junior brother, you practice diligently every day, but it seems you haven't condensed the Iron Sha Stone or the Sha Qi. How are you going to deliver the mission at the end of the month?"

"Do you need help, Senior Sister?"

As she spoke, she giggled repeatedly, and her innocence revealed a hint of charm.

"I plan to use spirit crystals and pills to offset the loss." Zhu Ju's expression remained unchanged.
"One spirit crystal and three pills that can help with cultivation are almost enough to complete the monthly tasks."

"Ah……"

"I think this is also what Senior Brother Cao intended. He wants us to practice without external aids so that we can strengthen our foundation and sharpen our character. He has gone to great lengths for us."

Coincidentally.

The things given to outer disciples every month are almost enough to offset the task of obtaining five Iron Evil Stones.

perhaps,

This is what Cao Xiong did on purpose.

"This..." Ning Ruxue frowned slightly:

"Junior brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Ningyuan Pills, which aid in cultivation, are extremely valuable in the martial arts world. Taking them to cultivate is far more effective than practicing on your own. Using them to offset quests is simply not worth the effort."

"It's okay." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"I haven't used many pills in my cultivation so far. If the poison from the pill enters my body, it will take time to eliminate it."

“That’s good!”

Since he developed his internal energy, he indeed hasn't taken many medicinal pills, but he has eaten a lot of monster meat.

Compared with the pills given by Mingxu Sect, the effect of monster meat is even better, so there is no need for those three extra pills.

Ning Ruxue naturally didn't know and looked at him in surprise.

"correct."

Zhu Ju changed the subject and asked:

"Why haven't I seen Brother Mu these past two days?"

"Him!" Ning Ruxue chuckled softly:

"He went to the nearby market. It takes two or three days to go back and forth. He should be back by now."

"Market?" Zhu Ju paused slightly.
"A market town where cultivators gather? They say the roads aren't safe."

There are many dangerous places in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and there are also robbers and evil guests who specifically target practitioners entering and leaving the market. Even disciples of the major immortal sects are not safe.

If you just want to exchange some things, you can go to Mingxu Sect’s own shop at the foot of the mountain.

"Yes." Ning Ruxue nodded:

"So Mu Tian went with several outer disciples."

"You also know that his father is a disciple of the Mingxu Sect and has connections in the sect that we are not aware of."

Zhu Ju understood clearly.

midnight.

Mu Tian really came back from the market. He had a happy and proud look on his face. It was obvious that he had gained a lot from this trip.

The first thing he did after returning was to visit Ning Ruxue's stone house.

It was unknown what the two of them talked about, but laughter could be heard from time to time in the stone house, and it could be heard clearly from a long distance away. It was a long time before Mu Tian said goodbye and left.

Day two.

Ning Ruxue did not continue to condense the evil spirit, but took elixirs and practiced in seclusion. It seemed that she had completed the task at the end of the month.
