C24 Service Disciple

In a split-second, Ox King made Qi Yaoguang's teeth itch with hatred.

Fortunately, he had already scolded this guy once, so Ox King wouldn't repeat the same thing over and over again. On top of that, this matter had already become a reality. Sighing and resentment alone were not enough to change it.

No matter what kind of emotions he had, he had to face reality first.

Coincidentally, after a moment of restlessness, the cultivators had already calmed down. Seeing this, Meng Daiyuan continued, "As for the so-called servants, I believe you all understand without needing me to explain in detail. That is, we will be in charge of all the chores except the capture of the Spirit Beast. However, according to the records of the entrance exam, those of you who are qualified to choose your own servants can choose your own servants from the steward tomorrow. As for those who are not qualified to choose, they will have to obey the distribution of the stewards. "

Pausing for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Go to the house manager and check the distribution of the residences."

After saying that, he no longer had any intention to talk to everyone else. He summoned a Flying Sword magic tool and flew off quickly, disappearing without a trace.

The living conditions of the janitor disciples were quite poor. They needed four people to share a room with them. It was not that the Controlling Beast s could not bear to part with the wood, it was just that there were so many empty spots at the foot of the mountain of Alkaid Peak. Every five years, he would also recruit several hundred disciples, of which two or three hundred would become servants. However, in these five years, it was already quite good for a service disciple to advance to an official disciple with ten percent success rate. Therefore, over time, after thousands of years of being passed down from the Controlling Beast, there were actually thirty thousand service disciples!

The entire Controlling Beast Temple was only known as a group of fifty thousand cultivators, and the servants occupied more than half of them. From this, one could see the density of the population under the Alkaid Peak.

Under these circumstances, the reason four people were in the same room was because they were being looked after by a new disciple. It was because it was said that there were less than six thousand houses under the Alkaid Peak, and that there were only twenty-four thousand people that could be accommodated inside.

The remaining six thousand people could only live in the open air as they wished.

Under these circumstances, the servants also had various reward and punishment systems. Doing well is basically giving some sect contribution points, but if you do not do well, then the place you live in will most likely be replaced.

From this, one could tell how intense the competition for resources in the service hall was.

After the distribution, Ox King got the room No. 5088 for three months, three people from the same batch of new disciples. Amongst the three of them, there was a very good-natured fatty, a very tall and thin guy, and another person who had a cold expression on his face, making it hard for people to get close to him.

After each of them had settled down, Fatty was the first to open his mouth, "Brothers, we'll be living in the same room from now on." I am Ding Qian, a rogue cultivator born, I hope everyone will take care of me. "Also, may I know what your names are …"

"My name is Eagles!" The tall and thin man smiled, "He comes from the side branch of Celestial Spirit City."

"Xiang Family?!" It was obvious that Fatty Ding Qian was familiar with Celestial Spirit City, but upon hearing that, he immediately cried out in alarm: "Is it that sect's Three Foundation Establishment and elder's entire later stage Xiang Family?!"

"Yes!" Eagles nodded and continued to smile: "The three late Foundation Establishment cultivators are all my great-uncles." My grandfather was of a side branch anyway, and he passed away when his Cultivation Level reached the Late Qi Refining Stage. "Therefore, this branch of mine is only a side branch of the Xiang Family."

Ding Qian chuckled and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Didn't you say to let the other branches show their prowess?"

After the two of them spoke, they both chuckled. After that, Ding Qian asked Ox King, who introduced himself as a rogue cultivator. As for the other person with a cold expression, he could only coldly ask, "Qiu Shuitian!"

After spitting out these two words, he just sat on the bed and closed his eyes, no longer having any intention of speaking.

A simple self-introduction was the first step for everyone to get to know each other. Generally speaking, this kind of self-introductions more or less showed their personality. As far as Ox King was concerned, from what he saw, Fatty Ding Qian was probably the type of person who spoke a lot and was familiar with people. People like him were usually good at asking for information. Eagles revealed his background as soon as he got on the stage. It seemed like he was quite sincere about it.

Otherwise, he would only say that he was born in the Xiang Family and not that he belonged to a branch of the side branch.

As for Qiu Shuitian, he gave everyone a cold feeling.

Ox King was probably not the only one who could judge the information from his introduction. After the fatty finished the introductions, he glanced at Ox King and the other two. Obviously, he had his own thoughts.

After they finished introducing themselves, the few of them did not continue chatting. They were all people who did not have the qualifications to choose servants, so when they did not know what kind of mission they would be assigned to tomorrow, everyone was somewhat nervous and did not have much interest in idle chatter. When they saw Qiu Shuitian meditating on the bed, the few of them did not want to waste any time under the influence. Instead, they all climbed onto the bed and closed their eyes to rest or cultivate.

The next day.

Before the new disciples could investigate their own janitorial tasks, the list of assigned tasks was posted by the janitor.

Ox King went to check on the ore for a while. In the end, he found out that the mission he was assigned was to transport ores to the Hundred Herb Hall. To transport ores was an extremely tiring and dangerous task. Because of this, they had to organize people to go to the mines. After receiving the ores from the person in charge of the mines, they also had to travel a long distance to transport a large amount of the ores back to the sect and deliver them to the person in charge of the Bai Yi Hall.

Even though these kinds of things were usually organized by the sect, they were overseen by high-level cultivators.

But because of this, a rookie like Ox King with Cultivation Level would probably need to be responsible for the most tiring and complicated matters.

The only thing that made him slightly happy was that he didn't need to do it every day. Generally, he would only leave two missions a month. He could use the rest of his time to cultivate after completing the missions.

Of course, after completing the mission, the sect would reward a few contribution points.

Speaking of contribution points, this item was equivalent to hard currency within the sect. With contribution points, he could not only exchange them for Spirit Stone s, pill s, or magical equipment. He could even exchange for some rare and precious cultivation techniques. However, the more precious something was, the more contribution points it required. Only the simplest things, such as the right to live in a house, required a lesser amount of contribution points.

For example, at Ox King's current residence, one contribution point could last for three days and the monthly fee was no more than 10 contribution points.

Ox King looked around and found that each time he successfully transported a ore, he would get at least 15 contribution points or more. If he could complete two missions a month, then he would receive thirty contribution points. Even after getting rid of his residence, he would still have twenty or so left over.

These kinds of menial tasks may seem arduous, but as long as you do them seriously, you can't say that you're wealthy. However, it's not a problem to make sure you have a place to stay. Therefore, Ox King didn't understand why thousands of people would end up in the open air. It was unlikely that they had squandered all their contribution points randomly, or perhaps, because they were unable to complete each mission every time, resulting in such an outcome.

With doubts, Ox King followed the procedures and went to the management office to register first, so that he could distribute missions in the future.

When Ox King arrived at the office of the miner, he was immediately dumbfounded. He suddenly understood why so many people were camping out in the open. This was because the steward had almost a hundred cultivators waiting outside. They were all squatting there. Their clothes were shabby, and every time a cultivator passed by, they would all look over at the same time. They were just like those wharf workers who were waiting to carry the living.

This discovery immediately raised a question in Ox King's heart: "Could it be, the number of workers to transport ores is too many and too many people have no tasks to take on?!"

No, no, no. If that was the case, the sect would definitely transfer people from this side of the sect to do something else. After all, there were many types of service related to cultivation. Twenty thousand cultivators who didn't need to do chores, even if 30,000 were added in, they still might not be able to manage the logistics.

However, there were actually so many people waiting for work right now. What was going on?

With his head full of questions, Ox King entered the office where the workers were managed. The person in charge of the transportation of ores was a fat middle-aged cultivator. His name was Ma Laifu, and from the looks of it, his Cultivation Level had Level 8 of Qi Refinement, which made him a real Late Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

It was different from the situation when many people were waiting outside. When they really entered the office, they could not see the shadow of this kind of cultivator.

Ox King greeted Ma Laifu after entering before reporting to him. With regards to the matter of the registration, Malay was rather straightforward and directly registered Ox King's name in accordance with the rules. However, when Ox King said that he wanted to start doing menial tasks as soon as possible … The fat guy leaned back in his chair and said lazily, "Request a mission. That's not a problem, it's just that …"

He didn't even say two sentences, and just dragged his tone, not continuing any further. He only used his eyes to constantly glance at the Storage Bag's position on Ox King's waist.

Ox King could live in North Wilderness for five years by himself, so he was naturally very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. Seeing Ma Laifu's actions, how could he not know that this was a request for benefits?

Although Ox King hated such things, he knew what to do. Therefore, he did not wait for Ma Laifu to land and directly took out two Spirit Stone s from the Storage Bag s. He smiled and said: "Oh right, Senior Brother Ma, I have some local specialties from my hometown that even money can't buy. You see, it's our first time meeting, so there's nothing much to send out.

After saying that, his hand trembled, and he threw the two Spirit Stone directly into Ma Laifu's sleeve.
