Chapter 2: Outer Disciple, Spiritual Field No. 77! (Please collect!)
The next morning, there was fog outside the village.
Ning Daoran had finished his preparations early. He carried pots and pans on the big stupid deer's back, hung the half-broken Qinglong spear, and rolled up the mat.
He finally said goodbye to Xiao Tiezhu and Xiao Hehua.
"Zhou Tiezhu, you must grow up to be a real man in the future!"
"Brother Ning Daoran, for sure!"
"Little Lotus, I'm leaving now. I'm going out to explore the world. When I come back, I might have become a soaring immortal~~~"
"Brother Ning!"
Little Lotus' eyes were immediately filled with tears: "Brother Ning, please come back soon, or I will miss you..."
"Don't worry, wait for me~~~"
Ning Daoran, wearing a straw hat and raincoat, led the big stupid deer away.
Little Lotus ran home quickly, hugged the quilt, and cried like a little cat. She had originally wanted to wait until she grew up to marry Brother Ning, because she had liked him since she was a child.
…
Outside, the people from Chaos Sect were already prepared.
The old deacon was wearing a long gown and sitting in a horse-drawn carriage. In addition, there were several ox carts carrying seven or eight children from several villages.
"Junior Brother Ning, let's get going!"
The senior brother named Zhao Lichen who was driving the ox cart shouted with a smile.
"Okay, here I come!"
Ning Daoran turned around and looked at the group of neighbors who had watched him grow up, and solemnly clasped his fists: "Fellow villagers, goodbye, Lao Lu and I will be back!"
"Ning boy, go ahead and practice well in the mountains. Don't miss home too much."
"We will all miss you."
"Go ahead!"
After hearing what everyone said, Ning Daoran's eyes turned red, and he actually felt sad about leaving his hometown.
…
On the official road, a group of young men were sitting in ox carts, but Ning Daoran was walking because of his age.
Longxiang Village is located in a valley. One must first get out of the valley before entering the vast Shanyang County plain.
The road out of the valley continued until night fell over the earth.
"The world outside is quite different from the one in the valley."
Senior Brother Zhao Lichen, who was driving the carriage, grinned and said, "Brothers and sisters, do you know that this world outside is a world full of demons and evil spirits?"
He picked up the whip and pointed it forward, saying with a smile: "There are many demons and dirty things on this road!"
A chill blew across the young men's backs, and suddenly everyone felt a chill down their spine.
Ning Daoran lit a torch to boost his courage, turned around and rubbed the big stupid deer's head, lifted its ears and asked with a smile: "Old deer, are you afraid?"
“Ouch!”
The big stupid deer quickly moved closer and rubbed Ning Daoran's shoulder gently with its head, indicating that he would not be afraid because he had his big brother around.
Along the way, we didn't see any evil spirits.
…
After three full days of bumpy ride, the ox cart finally arrived at the Huanglong Mountains where the Chaos Sect was located.
That night, Ning Daoran and a group of young men were arranged to rest in a room outside the mountain gate. In the early morning, Zhao Lichen's voice was heard: "Junior brothers and sisters, prepare to enter the mountain gate!"
Everyone ate something in a hurry and then entered the mountain gate in the foggy weather.
Soon after, the boys arrived at a square.
After testing their spiritual roots again, a group of young men had red and blue scarves tied on their arms. The red scarf represented the top three grades of spiritual roots, while the blue one represented the middle three grades.
As for people like Ning Daoran who have ninth-grade mixed spiritual roots, the master was too lazy to examine him.
It was not until the evening that an outer sect elder wearing a dark blue robe walked towards the group of young men with lower third-grade spiritual roots holding a book.
"Listen carefully."
The outer sect elder named Xu Ning said calmly: "Your qualifications are not enough for the sect to spend a lot of resources to cultivate you, so basically forget about becoming an inner sect disciple. Those who have entered the Qi Refining Stage can choose to become outer sect disciples, and those who have not entered the Qi Refining Stage can start as menial disciples."
"Yes, Elder."
All the young men nodded.
"Ning Daoran."
Xu Ning pointed out the name and said, "You are qualified enough to become an outer sect disciple. You can choose to worship an outer sect elder as your teacher, or you can choose to go to the Spiritual Medicine Department or the Spiritual Farm Department to be a spiritual farmer."
He glanced at her, and a flash of disdain flashed across his eyes: "You are nearly 20 years old and have just reached the first level of Qi Refining. You haven't mastered the Body Tempering Technique yet. I think there is no chance for you. You should go to the Spiritual Farm Division and be a spiritual farmer."
Having said that, he waved his pen and decided Ning Daoran's fate without giving him any chance to choose.
"Ahem, Uncle Master..."
On the side, Zhao Lichen frowned: "Perhaps... this junior brother wants to choose to become my disciple?"
"oh?"
Xu Ning's face was filled with impatience: "Ning Daoran, do you want to become my disciple, or become a spiritual farmer?"
Ning Daoran said without hesitation: "Master Xu stands higher and sees farther than me, so naturally he considers things more profoundly than me. I will listen to Master Xu and become a spiritual farmer!"
Zhao Lichen frowned but didn't say anything else.
Ning Daoran gave him an apologetic look and remembered Zhao Lichen's kindness in fighting for him.
"Go ahead."
Xu Ning took out a jade identity talisman and threw it to Ning Daoran.
Next, Zhao Lichen took Ning Daoran to collect the supplies and hand over the spiritual field.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
"Junior brother, you are so confused!"
Zhao Lichen sighed: "You are an outer sect disciple after all, which is much better than those menial disciples. If you worship an outer sect elder as your master, you will have someone to back you up, which is better than now..."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, for your reminder."
Ning Daoran was somewhat helpless: "But given Uncle Xu's attitude, I can't go against his will, otherwise he will make things difficult for me in the future, which will make me even more uncomfortable..."
"Too."
Zhao Lichen nodded helplessly.
Not long after, they arrived at the place to collect supplies. Ning Daoran input a magical power into his identity jade card, which imprinted his soul. From then on, he became an outer disciple of the Chaos Sect.
As for supplies, there were two jade talismans that copied the Body Tempering Art and the Rain Transforming Art, a set of light blue clothing for outer disciples, ten kilograms of spiritual rice seeds, and five low-grade spiritual stones.
A real gift pack for newbies!
“Ah~~~”
On the side, the big stupid deer was quite uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment and cried softly.
"fine."
Ning Daoran hugged its big head affectionately, rubbed it vigorously, and said with a smile: "I'm here!"
Zhao Lichen smiled faintly, thinking that this junior fellow and his spirit beast were indeed quite interesting. How could a cultivator in the world chat with a spirit beast along the way?
…
Chaos Sect, outer mountain.
Spiritual Field No. 77, a total of three acres of spiritual land, will be where Ning Daoran will live in the future. Next to the spiritual land, there stands a small house, inside which a man who looks like an old farmer is moving.
This old farmer's name is Lao Suntou, an outer disciple of the Chaos Sect, and he is at the sixth level of Qi Refining. He has been a spiritual farmer all his life but in the end he has not been able to enter the late stage of Qi Refining.
In desperation, Old Sun decided to leave the mountain and return to his hometown with his savings over the years, to become a rich man and live a good life with his children and grandchildren around him in the last years of his life.
"Junior Brother Ning!"
Old Sun grinned and said, "This house will be yours from now on. Also, here is a magical hoe. In addition, there is a small cloud formation of the first-grade lower grade around this house, which can cover it up a little. I leave it all to you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother. Have a safe trip!"
Ning Daoran bowed respectfully.
Old Sun left with his belongings, and Ning Daoran moved into Spiritual Field No. 77.
When the formation was activated, clouds and mist suddenly rose around the hut, isolating everything.
This is a slightly damaged primary isolation and concealment formation. The concealment effect is quite good, with thick clouds and fog, but the sound insulation effect is gone. As for the defense and isolation effects, there is no need to mention them, as they are all non-existent.
…
Ning Daoran took a deep breath.
He began to think.
The growth rate of the plants that are fifty times that of the Holy Spirit of Plants is too terrifying and must not be known to others.
Therefore, he decided to open up two acres of land in the courtyard while cultivating the land outside on a large scale. From now on, the spiritual rice planted by the Holy Spirit of Plants and Trees could only be planted under the cover of the small cloud and mist formation.
Otherwise, once someone discovers that I am planting so fast, I am afraid I won’t live until the next day. This monster will be captured and taken to the sect for research!
Soon, Ning Daoran and Dabenlu began to work passionately. Plowing the land, diverting water, and cultivating seedlings were all very familiar to them. However, during the entire process of sowing the three acres of land outside, the talents of the Holy Spirit of Plants were turned off.
So, a few days later.
On a dark and windy night, Ning Daoran carried a spiritual hoe and secretly began to plant the first batch of Holy Spirit Rice with the big stupid deer under the cover of a small cloud array!
