In the Deacon Hall of Yiqing Peak, at this moment, Song Chunchi was leading the task team members to hand in their tasks.
There are a total of twelve people in the task force, three of them are seriously injured, and two escorted Gu Xifeng back to the Gu family in Yuancheng, so there are only seven people here.
Before Ye Jingyi and Yu Chuanlin left, they took out the gains from this mission from the storage bag and handed them to Song Chunchi. As for the Gu sisters and Hu Feng, no one expected them to gain anything.
"Senior Brother Song, you completed this mission perfectly!"
Wu Xianqing counted the number and rank of the Mishao Beasts, looked at Song Chunchi and smiled, "The mission has been over-fulfilled. You don't need to return the magic tools, elixirs, and talismans that were previously allocated to you. As for the extra Mishao Beasts, we will give priority to selling them to the Wang family, the employer of this mission. If they don't need them, or the price they offer is lower than the market price, our Deacon Hall will resell them on their behalf. We should have a result in about five days, and then you can come to the Deacon Hall to claim the spirit stones."
Song Chunchi nodded. He was well aware of the rules of the Deacon Hall and asked, "Can I pay you now for completing the mission?"
"Of course." Wu Xianqing coughed lightly, "The Deacon Hall is preparing."
"Didn't the Wang family pay this in advance?" Song Chunchi asked calmly.
"That's right. Didn't the Wang family pay the mission fee in advance? If that's the case, why did we accept their mission? Although our Jinling Sect isn't a large sect, we still have three Jindan-stage elders in charge. Accepting missions must follow the rules set by the Wanxian Sect. Sister Wu, you don't need to accept missions from the Wang family anymore!"
Jiang Xingzao followed Song Chunchi's words immediately, and judging from his expression, he really felt so.
Wu Xianqing's face froze. He looked behind him and said to Zhang Shulin, who was sitting at the table writing something on a jade slip, "Brother Zhang, should we write down Junior Brother Jiang's opinion and report it to Uncle Lu?"
Lu Ande, the head of the Steward's Hall, is in charge of all affairs of the Steward's Hall. His direct superior is the head of the Jinling Sect, Zhenren Jingxu.
Zhang Shulin paused for a moment, looking at Song Chunchi and the others beside him, including Jiang Xingzao, Shu Yeyu, and Sui An. He then put down his pen, stood up, and walked over to Song Chunchi. He bowed and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Song, on advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
"Thank you." Song Chunchi returned the greeting.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Wang family. It's our Deacon Hall's oversight. Senior Brother Song has also been there and knows the situation here. We who work here always want to keep the spirit stones in the Deacon Hall for a few more days. That way, if we encounter a situation where we urgently need spirit stones, we won't have to raise them everywhere. This is our fault. I hope Senior Brother Song and all the other fellow disciples will forgive us!"
Zhang Shulin spoke frankly and apologized readily. Song Chunchi did not think too much about it and nodded to accept his apology. In less than a quarter of an hour, a deacon brought the spirit stone over.
"It seems that no place can be completely clear and pure!" Sui An sighed in his heart.
"Are you disappointed?" Sui Dong asked.
"Well... I'm not too disappointed. The Jinling Sect is short of money, and everyone knows that the Stewards' Hall has come up with some crooked ideas to make life easier. But these crooked ideas are so obvious that anyone can see through them at a glance. And look at how embarrassed Junior Sister Wu is. She looks like she wants to crawl into the ground. Even Senior Brother Zhang, although he appears calm on the surface, never looks directly at Senior Brother Song. It's obvious that he's guilty as well, which makes him look naive and cute."
Sui An was indeed not disappointed. There was no perfect person in this world, and naturally there would be no perfect sect. If she joined a sect without any flaws and everything was done according to her wishes, she would really feel uneasy.
"It seems not everyone can see it at first glance!" Sui Dong muttered softly, "That Jiang Xingzao seems to know nothing."
Sui An looked at Jiang Xingzao, who indeed looked bewildered. She smiled inwardly and stopped talking to Sui Dong. Deacon Wu had already poured out the spirit stones from his storage bag and began distributing the rewards for this mission. "Three hundred spirit stones per person, minus the twenty percent deacon fee, that's two hundred and forty spirit stones."
Wu Xianqing distributed spirit stones to everyone. The spirit stones of Ye Jingyi, Yu Chuanlin, Gu Xifeng, Gu Xiyue and Hu Feng were left in the Deacon Hall and were to be collected by them themselves.
Sui An used his spiritual sense to check the spirit stones lying quietly in the storage bag, as well as the proceeds from selling the monster at Taoye Village Market and the one hundred spirit stones compensated by the Qi family. He felt much more at ease.
"Finally, we're not broke anymore."
"Don't forget, you still owe little brother Fan Tuo the storage bag and the spirit stones for the seven-colored double flying wings!" Sui Dong poured a basin of cold water on him at the right time.
"Besides Junior Brother Fan Tuo's debt, there's also Senior Kuang Chebai's debt for two bottles of high-grade elixirs. This amount of spirit stones is simply not enough!"
Sui Dong was about to say something when he heard Su Mengjue calling out to Sui An, "Junior Sister Sui, didn't you pick a lot of spiritual herbs? Do you want to sell some to the Deacon Hall?"
Sui An was about to shake her head. She was planning to keep the spiritual herbs to learn alchemy when she heard Shu Yeyu say, "When you first start learning alchemy, you should start from the very basics."
Sui An understood that the spiritual herbs needed for the most basic elixirs are often the most common and cheapest, and many of the spiritual herbs she collected in the Wanmang Forest are not useful to beginners. If she urgently needs spiritual stones, she can sell them.
Sui An felt that if she said she was not short of spirit stones, she would be being unfair to her two creditors.
She sold most of the spiritual herbs in her storage bag in exchange for eight hundred spiritual stones. Now she is a cultivator with a net worth of more than a thousand spiritual stones.
Because he wanted to learn alchemy, after coming out of the Deacon's Hall, Sui An did not return to Wutong Cottage, but followed Shu Yeyu to the alchemy room.
The head of the Jinling Sect's alchemy room was named Chi Weiyun. She was a female cultivator who looked to be in her fifties and in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. When Shu Yeyu mentioned that Sui'an wanted to enter the alchemy room to learn alchemy, she simply made a note on a jade slip. Then, looking at Sui'an, she slowly said, "Rapid advancement and comprehension in cultivation don't necessarily mean you have a natural talent for alchemy. Even if you have talent, alchemy still requires day-to-day study of the art of alchemy. If you just blindly copy the recipes of your predecessors, you'll never achieve a breakthrough in alchemy. As the head of the alchemy room, I hope that at next year's Immortal Sect Competition, our Jinling Sect can break into the top twenty."
On the first day of learning alchemy, before she even touched the alchemy furnace, let alone knew the alchemy process, she heard her immediate superior talking about winning a place in the most powerful competition. Even though this requirement was not directed at her alone, but was Uncle Chi's expectation for the entire Jinling Sect's alchemy room, Sui An still felt under tremendous pressure.
She didn't know what the Immortal Sect Competition was about or how it was conducted, but she had heard this term several times from different people. It seemed that this competition was a grand event in the world of immortal cultivation, and all the immortal sects attached great importance to it.
After Chi Weiyu finished her instructions, she also assigned Sui An a master who would teach her the basic knowledge of alchemy. The master was not Shu Yeyu, but an old man who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, named Shi Xu.
"Senior Brother Shi, I'll trouble you to give me more guidance in the future!" Shu Yeyu bowed.
Shi Xu nodded, "Junior Sister Shu, you're welcome."
Shu Yeyu nodded to Sui An, then went into his alchemy room.
"What we are refining today is Xiaoyu Dan. Come and see it!" Shi Xu took Sui An into the alchemy room where he was. Sui An found that there was another person in the alchemy room, and this person was an acquaintance of his.
"Junior Brother Fan?"
"Follow Senior Sister?"
