So what! Are you going to kill me?

Chapter 24: Fasting is the first lesson for beginners

This guy really dares to say that. She has mixed spiritual roots, and it is already difficult for her to reach the Qi Refining Stage.

"You are so sharp-tongued." Xie Sheng glanced at Jin Cancan coldly, "Wait until you have the ability to bargain. Since you are so eager to take the lead, wait until you finish moving the logs, and then clean all the toilets."

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, as long as their punishment was not increased.

"Also," Xie Sheng said to Xue Ning with a sidelong glance, "Let the head of the Long Sui Hall accept the punishment himself."

Xue Ning was a little surprised, but quickly agreed: "Yes."

In fact, every year the new disciples were asked to gather as soon as possible, and there was no specific time specified.

Most people who come here will definitely abide by the rules. If the elders ask them to gather, they will definitely not stay. How could such a thing happen?

Punishing new disciples is an annual routine, and setting rules early is helpful in disciplining disciples.

All newcomers will go through this, either today or tomorrow. Xie Sheng just happened to take advantage of Jin Cancan's late arrival as an excuse to let it go. However, Jin Cancan pointed out the unreasonableness of collective punishment in public and refused to take the blame for no reason. As a result, the head of the Chang Sui Hall had to suffer an unprovoked disaster.

Jin Cancan grinned, revealing eight pure white teeth: "Elder Xie is really fair and just! I will accept the punishment now."

It seems that the punishment has not been escaped, but the difference is huge.

Although she was used to going it alone and didn't care about other people's opinions, it was not wise to make enemies too early in her early stages of cultivation when she didn't have the ability to protect herself.

"Master, do you want to continue watching her?" Xue Ning asked, staring at Jin Cancan's departing back with interest.

Xie Sheng: "Yan Qiu will keep an eye on it, just focus on your cultivation."

The newlyweds went down the first peak with trepidation. There was a deep pool at the bottom. The waterfall on the third peak rushed down, stirring the deep pool water into countless tiny lights with great momentum. The deafening sound of jade beads colliding echoed in the valley. Sections of plum blossom stone piles were deeply submerged in the water, one pile higher than the other. From a distance, it seemed as if there was an upside-down bowl connecting the first peak and the third peak.

Jin Cancan looked at the sunset, estimated the time, and then squatted by the pond to modify the copper wire mesh piled in the corner.

This net is probably used for drying herbs, and the smell of herbs still lingers on it.

Seeing Jin Cancan not doing his job, Qi Le was furious: "Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and move the logs to the third peak!"

She was punished for it, and now she's playing in the water? If she does less, others have to do more. How can this be justified?

Jin Cancan said without even raising her head: "Don't worry, I'll make sure everyone can have dinner."

"What's the use of your promise? An hour has already passed. You are just a mortal. Can you transport all the logs within the specified time?" Qi Le rolled his eyes and stopped talking to her.

One rat droppings ruined a whole pot of porridge!

The other new disciples also shook their heads and had an even worse impression of Jin Cancan.

They must complete the tasks assigned by Elder Xie. Even if they cannot complete them on time, they must demonstrate their willingness to endure hardships and determination... As for Jin Cancan, she is willing to degenerate, and they are happy to have one less competitor.

On the third peak, many logs were piled up on the open ground. They were 5 inches in diameter and about 8 feet long. Even after being dried, they were still very heavy when carried on the shoulders.

Climbing to the third peak had exhausted most of the physical strength. Everyone was panting and put the logs on the ground and sat on them to rest.

The disciples looked at the sky and all looked dejected.

This was an impossible task and they were destined to have no dinner today.

"What are you doing?" Qi Le stopped Jin Cancan and spoke sternly, attracting the attention of others: "Even if you can't complete it, there's no need to jump off the cliff, right? You are a cultivator, how can your heart be so fragile?"

Jin Cancan was grabbed by the back of the neck by him and said speechlessly: "Who jumped off the cliff? Let go!"

Qi Le: "I won't, you pull your feet back first!"

Jin Cancan had no choice but to throw the log in her hand towards the waterfall, and with the help of Qi Le's force, she returned to a safe place.

"What are you doing?" Qi Le breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he didn't seem to have said anything excessive just now, so how did he provoke this guy to jump off the cliff?

Jin Cancan pointed at the waterfall and said, "It will be too late to carry the logs down. I have observed from below that the water flow of this waterfall will wash the logs to the foot of the first peak. I have set up a net there that can trap all our logs."

The others' eyes lit up and they followed suit.

This really saves a lot of time and effort!

Qi Le was a little embarrassed. Well, they had gone through so much hardship to join the Tianping Sword Sect, so how could they commit suicide so easily?

He followed behind Jin Cancan and said, "Were you fiddling with the nets by the pond just now? I misunderstood you. Sorry."

Jin Cancan didn't care: "It's okay."

Qi Le thought she was quite open-minded and asked, "My name is Qi Le, what's your name?"

"I didn't scream." Jin Cancan was daydreaming.

Qi Le: “…”

In the final few minutes, all the logs were moved to the first peak.

Xie Sheng looked at the new disciples with wet trouser legs, veins popping out on his forehead. What kind of people are they recruiting this year?

Did your clever tricks get to him?

Under Xie Sheng's gaze, everyone felt a little guilty.

"Very good, all done." Xie Sheng said coldly, "Since your abilities are higher than I expected, it seems that the difficulty of tomorrow's training can be increased by one level."

Xie Sheng left in a huff. Xue Ning said, as if watching a play, "Elder Xie only told you to bring the logs here. He didn't specify the method. Don't be afraid."

"Now I will assign your rooms. The outer disciples' rooms are for four people each, and the washing and dining times are after the inner disciples."

Xue Ning led them to the foot of the mountain, explained the training time and dining locations along the way, and showed them the important places on the First Peak. After they finished assigning the rooms, it was already dusk and the sky was particularly dark.

After a day of hard work, everyone was already starving. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Xue, when can we go eat?"

Xue Ning seemed to have just remembered this: "Oh, look at my memory."

"It's past dinner time now, and the canteen has long been closed."

"It just so happens that Bigu is a compulsory course for your cultivation. You will be hungry many times in the future. Today will be your first Bigu lesson."

Xue Ning had a harmless expression and a gentle tone. She smiled and added the last sentence: "Then, have a good rest."

No matter how slow they realized it, they understood one thing - the Tianping Sword Sect had not prepared dinner for them at all.

"Senior Brother Xue didn't deliberately embarrass us." Wang Hong spoke in silence, "Unlike other sects, the first lesson for Tianping Sword Sect is indeed fasting."
