Li Yi's words made sense. No one here dared to hurt anyone, so there was no need for her to waste spirit stones to open the formation. She sat cross-legged beside Li Yi and practiced meditation. After all, this free and spiritually rich place would not be available tomorrow.
After finishing the work on the third day, Li Yiru boarded the spirit boat again and took them to the gate of Wuji Palace.
Li Yirou returned the communication jade slip to Yang Qing, "Thank you, Brother Yang, I made some money, I'll go down and buy one right away." Yang Qing smiled at her and took the communication jade slip she handed over, but his smile was somewhat meaningful.
"Disciples No. 117... No. 952 and No. 953 please stay. The rest of you can leave after returning your storage bags." The monk in darker green clothes spoke and said the numbers of eight people. Li Yiru and Li Yi were the last two.
Thinking back to Yang Qing's smile, it didn't seem like a bad thing. Li Yirou, however, still looked at the green-robed monk with a bit of bewilderment, not quite sure what he was going to do. But the others who were also mentioned seemed very familiar with these routines and were actually looking forward to it.
When No. 951 was leaving, he glared at Li Yiru again, with jealousy in his eyes about to overflow.
This person's cultivation level was higher than Li Yirou's, estimated at four levels, but Li Yirou was safe at the gate of Wuji Palace. Besides, she might be able to defeat him by leaping her level, so she wasn't afraid of him.
He glared at her, and she stared back at him, to see who would give up first.
Seeing this, Li Yi inexplicably joined the eye contact. Two against one, No. 951 surrendered and left with the crowd.
"Ancestor Tiancun said that he intends to select the eight of you to plant spiritual plants in Taoxi Mountain. Your treatment will be the same as that of outer disciples. The project period is ten years. During this time, you just need to plant and grow the bell-sound trees to 500. If you don't reach the required number, you will need to return the spiritual stones in proportion."
Li Yirou was slightly surprised when she heard this. Ten years of work, wouldn't that mean a temporary worker becomes a permanent employee? And the treatment would still be the same as that of an outer sect disciple!
Taoxi Mountain was the bald mountain they had previously worked on, and the Bell Sound Tree was a Level 1 Spiritual Tree, so it took many years to grow into a single tree. Planting a tree, however, was only difficult when it was growing into a seedling. The rest of the time, it only required applying the Water Diversion Technique during droughts and removing insects.
When the bell trees grow into a forest, they can emit elegant sounds like wind chimes, which have the effect of calming the mind and removing obstacles.
However, four people still expressed their unwillingness to work. Indeed, the monthly salary of Wuji Palace's outer disciples wasn't much, just two low-grade spirit stones and two contribution points. But the key point was that for the next ten years, they could live in Wuji Palace, surrounded by rich spiritual energy.
Like outer disciples, you can also take on other tasks to earn contribution points. Similar to the Yijian Sect's points, you can use contribution points to buy things. You can also enter the Sutra Library to borrow books that are available to outer disciples.
And they only required 500 trees. If they could plant them in a year, they could spend the rest of the time doing whatever they wanted. No one would care. They could even get their salary and leave early after the trees were grown. Ancestor Tiancun was truly a good leader.
She was very careful now. After the temporary work was over, she found that no spiritual consciousness had fallen on them. The ancestor only hired them to plant trees because they were good at using the Spirit Invigorating Technique. So she agreed without worry.
The original eight people chosen were four men and four women, but the four female cultivators were unwilling to join, so Li Yirou and the other three extended their construction period by another ten years, turning it into twenty. It was like finding a stable place to live!
But she was separated from Li Yi and two other male cultivators and moved into a separate dormitory. Li Yirou suddenly felt a little regretful. Should she use the identity of a woman so that she could have a dormitory to herself?
But it is not easy to change it back now. A good person would not change his face for no reason, so he can only let it go.
She now wears robes and doesn't have to wash clothes every day. She rarely sleeps, so it doesn't affect them if she carries them on her back.
This time, the four of them were no longer staying in a lounge, but in a cave carved into the cliff. However, the outer disciples were seated lower down, and permanent workers like them were at the very bottom, without having to take the spiritual ladder to go up.
Even so, Li Yirou could sense that the spiritual energy was as dense as when she had cast a spiritual gathering formation in the Western Realm. However, the cave was very small, with a small orb on the top. It was a treasure, but it could project sunlight into the cave, illuminating the room.
It was a small cave with a square table in the middle. It was very low and you had to sit cross-legged on a mat on the ground.
Four curtains encircled the mountain wall, opening to reveal a small hole. Inside was a bed and a place to hang a futon. Opposite was a row of small cabinets, capable of being locked with a spiritual imprint. Li Yirou took out the new storage bag she had received, revealing a futon and a set of bedding.
The bed was narrow enough for only one person to lie down or meditate, but not both at the same time.
However, this was only a place for cultivation. Disciples could take out a piece of land to grow crops. The land for outer disciples was smaller, only half a plot, about 30 square meters, and was allocated near where work was needed.
In addition, there are alchemy rooms, weapon refining rooms and other places specifically used for cultivation, which can be used free of charge, and the most common earth fire is also introduced into them.
There are also additional places where talisman masters make talismans, and where sword practitioners, magic practitioners, etc. compete.
Each person can also receive a paper crane for monthly use. They can also borrow a flying spirit beast for travel, which is much faster, but they have to provide food by themselves, and it is best to have the cultivation level to control the spirit beast.
In short, except for the small accommodation, everything else is quite thoughtful.
Li Yirou and Li Yi chose beds on one side, while two other people chose beds on the other side. They were a little older than Li Yirou and Li Yi, about 18 or 19 years old. The one with fair skin was called Yu Mao, and the one with dark skin was called Lu Huairen. Although dark-skinned, he looked good, and his eyes showed intelligence at first glance.
"Two little brothers, are you the two who had sudden enlightenment? That's great." Lu Huairen took the initiative to chat with them.
"Yeah." Li Yi was silent, so Li Yirou had to step up and respond. "It's just good luck. Hehe, I'm not as high as everyone else." After arriving here, Li Yirou didn't deliberately hide her cultivation level. Since she was at the bottom, there was no need to hide it. He chuckled and revealed the appearance of a silly boy.
Li Yi glanced at him and smiled foolishly at Lu Huairen. Seeing the two of them looking so silly, Lu Huairen suddenly felt that his envy and jealousy seemed meaningless...
"It's okay, you're still young." Lu Huairen was just saying hello with good intentions. "If you have any problems in the future, just call us anytime~" After saying that, he went back behind his curtain like Yu Mao.
Probably because they were a few years younger, especially Li Yiru, whose cultivation was the worst, and she couldn't play with them. They were each assigned a place on one side of the mountain, and they didn't interfere with each other, so they naturally separated from them as "you and us".
Facing him, Li Yi returned to normal, "Fang Ye, I'll go in first." Li Yirou looked at him lying there pulling the curtain, and felt a little curious about him. Why didn't he meditate, but just slept, like an animal. Was he practicing while lying down?
However, Li Yirou's high-level technique, the Changsheng Jue, could have relied less on meditation. Unfortunately, the Changsheng Jue placed more emphasis on wood spirit energy, and since Li Yirou had five spiritual roots, it would have been better for them to cultivate and sense the five elements' spirit energy together.
So, he also has a high chance of mastering a high-level technique? Everyone has their own fate. Li Yirou didn't know the nature of his spiritual roots, and she didn't ask any more questions.
