My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chen Yu sat cross-legged on the bed in the wooden house, feeling the true energy filling his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Third level of Qi Refining! This instant noodle technique is truly a breath of fresh air in the world of immortal cultivation!"

He took out a bag of pickled mustard greens from the tattered cloth bag, tore open the package, put small handfuls into his mouth, and savored it carefully.

"Although this pickled mustard greens doesn't have much spiritual energy, it tastes good. It can be considered a little fun after practicing."

"System, what is my next task?" Chen Yu muttered to himself.

"Ding! Mission issued: Join the Qingyun Sect's Outer Sect Deacon Hall. Reward: One Marrow Cleansing Pill."

The system's voice sounded in his mind.

"Deacon's Hall? What is that place?" Chen Yu asked in confusion.

"The Deacon Hall is the outer sect of Qingyun Sect responsible for managing miscellaneous affairs. Disciples can join it to complete various tasks, earn contribution points, and exchange them for cultivation resources."

The system explained.

"It sounds good. Can contribution points be exchanged for instant noodles?" Chen Yu asked.

"It can be exchanged for any resources owned by Qingyun Sect, including instant noodles." The system replied.

"Okay! Then let's go to the Deacon's Hall!" Chen Yu stood up, dusted off his body, and walked out of the wooden house.

The air in the valley was fresh, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant. Chen Yu took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

He walked down the mountain path. On the way, he saw many outer disciples practicing, some practicing swordsmanship, and some meditating.

"Junior brother, are you new here?" A burly man with a full beard blocked Chen Yu's way.

"Yes, senior brother, my name is Chen Yu, and I just started yesterday." Chen Yu said quickly.

"My name is Zhao Tiezhu, and I'm a veteran among the outer disciples," the bearded man introduced himself. "Where are you going?"

"I want to go to the Deacon's Hall and take a look." Chen Yu said.

"Deacon's Hall? What are you doing there?" Zhao Tiezhu asked doubtfully.

"I want to join the Deacon Hall and earn contribution points." Chen Yu said.

"Join the Deacons' Hall? You'd better think it over carefully. The work in the Deacons' Hall is very hard." Zhao Tiezhu said.

"I'm not afraid of hard work." Chen Yu said firmly.

"Okay, since you insist so much, I'll take you there," said Zhao Tiezhu.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior brother." Chen Yu said gratefully.

Zhao Tiezhu brought Chen Yu to the Deacon's Hall, which is located in the center of the valley and is an antique building.

The Deacon Hall was bustling with activity. Chen Yu followed Zhao Tiezhu to a counter, behind which sat a middle-aged man wearing a cyan robe and a goatee, looking rather serious.

"This is the steward of the Deacon Hall, Elder Sun," Zhao Tiezhu introduced.

"Elder Sun, this is the new disciple Chen Yu. He wants to join the Deacon Hall." Zhao Tiezhu said.

"Oh? A new disciple?" Elder Sun looked at Chen Yu and asked, "Why do you want to join the Deacon Hall?"

"I want to earn contribution points and exchange them for cultivation resources." Chen Yu said.

"Well, that's good, you have ambition." Elder Sun nodded and said, "However, joining the Deacon Hall requires an assessment."

"Assessment? What assessment?" Chen Yu asked.

"The assessment is very simple. You just need to complete a task." Elder Sun said, "Follow me."

Elder Sun brought Chen Yu to a room filled with various items.

"Here are some task lists. You can choose one to complete." Elder Sun said.

Chen Yu picked up a task list and looked at it carefully.

The task list lists various tasks, such as: clearing weeds, feeding spirit animals, cleaning, etc.

"Aren't these tasks too simple?" Chen Yu thought to himself.

"What? You think it's too easy?" Elder Sun seemed to see through Chen Yu's thoughts and said, "Although these tasks are simple, they really test a person's patience and perseverance.

If you can complete these tasks conscientiously, you will be qualified to be a disciple of the Deacon Hall."

Chen Yu thought about it and felt that what Elder Sun said made sense.

He selected a task from his to-do list: clearing weeds.

"Okay, this is the task." Chen Yu said.

"Well, that's good." Elder Sun nodded and said, "This task needs to be completed within one day. The location is the medicinal field in the back mountain."

"The medicinal fields in the back mountain?" Chen Yu was stunned. He had heard of the medicinal fields in the back mountain. It was where Qingyun Sect grew spiritual medicines. It was said that there were many precious spiritual medicines there.

"What? Are you scared?" asked Elder Sun.

"No, no." Chen Yu said quickly, "I'm just a little curious."

"Curiosity kills the cat." Elder Sun said calmly, "You'd better hurry up and complete your mission."

Chen Yu took the task list and left the Deacon Hall.

He walked out of the Deacon's Hall, looked up at the sky, and found that the sun had risen very high.

"It's getting late. I have to hurry to the medicinal fields in the back mountain." Chen Yu thought.

He walked up along the mountain path.

The medicinal field in the back mountain is located on the back mountain of the main peak of Qingyun Sect. The terrain is high and the air is filled with rich spiritual energy, which is refreshing.

Chen Yu climbed up the winding mountain road. Wild flowers were blooming on the roadside, colorful, dotted among the lush green grass. Butterflies and bees were flying among the flowers, creating a vibrant scene.

After walking for about half an hour, Chen Yu finally arrived at the medicinal field in the back mountain.

The medicinal field is surrounded by a high fence with vines wrapped around it. The vines are covered with small purple flowers that emit a faint fragrance.

There are all kinds of magical medicines planted in the medicine fields. Some look like ginseng, some look like Ganoderma lucidum, and some look like mushrooms. They are of different shapes and colorful.

Chen Yu had never seen so many elixirs before, and he was dazzled.

"It would be great if all these elixirs could be turned into instant noodles." Chen Yu couldn't help swallowing and thought to himself.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind him: "Who are you?

Why are you sneaking around here?

Chen Yu turned around and saw a woman in white standing behind him.

The woman was tall and beautiful, with long black hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall. Her clear, bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and she exuded a noble and cool temperament.

"I... I'm the new disciple, Chen Yu." Chen Yu replied nervously, "I'm here to complete a mission."

"Complete the mission?" The woman frowned slightly. "What mission?"

Chen Yu quickly handed the task list in his hand to the woman. The woman took the task list and looked at it carefully.

"Clear the weeds?" The woman raised her head and looked at Chen Yu coldly. "Are you sure you can complete this task?"

"Of course." Chen Yu nodded firmly.

"The weeds in the medicinal fields on the back mountain are not ordinary weeds. They are all highly poisonous. If you are not careful, you will be poisoned to death."

The woman said coldly.

"I know." Chen Yu said, "I will be careful."

"Be careful?" The woman sneered, "Do you think being careful can prevent you from being poisoned?

These weeds are extremely poisonous, and even a master in the Qi Refining Stage may not be able to resist them."

"What should we do then?" Chen Yu panicked.

"I'll give you a chance," the woman said. "If you can clear all the weeds in the herb field before sunset today, I'll let you join the Deacon Hall."

"Really?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true." The woman nodded.

"Okay! I will definitely complete the task!" Chen Yu said confidently.

The woman said nothing more and turned to walk into the medicine field.

Chen Yu looked at the woman's back and secretly made up his mind to complete this task.

He took out a small shovel from the rag bag and began to clear the weeds in the medicinal field.

The weeds in the medicinal field were indeed highly poisonous, just as the woman had said.

Every time Chen Yu cleared a weed, he had to be careful to avoid being splashed with the juice of the weed.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun gradually set, and Chen Yu's forehead was covered with sweat, but he still persevered in clearing the weeds.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, Chen Yu had cleared all the weeds in the medicinal field.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sore all over, but filled with a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, the woman walked out of the medicine field.

She took a look at the clean and tidy medicinal field, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"You actually completed the task." said the woman.

"Of course, I am a man of my words." Chen Yu said proudly.

"Okay, I admit you have some skills," the woman said. "From today on, you are a member of the Deacon Hall."

"Thank you!" Chen Yu said excitedly.

“By the way, my name is Lin Qingxue.” The woman introduced herself.

"Lin Qingxue? What a nice name." Chen Yu said, "My name is Chen Yu."

"I know." Lin Qingxue said lightly.

"You...how do you know my name?" Chen Yu asked puzzledly.

"I've heard of you a long time ago," Lin Qingxue said. "The entrance exam, blinding the eyes, is about you, right?"

Chen Yu smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." Lin Qingxue said.

"Then... then I'll leave." Chen Yu said.

He turned and left the medicine field, feeling happy.

Not only did he join the Deacon Hall, but he also met the icy beauty Lin Qingxue, which made him full of expectations for his future life of cultivating immortals.
