The lamp oil inside was still burning, sending out waves of lotus fragrance, but Ah Jiang looked out the window and it was still pitch black.
"Life is pretty good now. If this were the case when I transmigrated, I would be happy. There wouldn't be so many troubles, and I could live a peaceful life."
"But then I wouldn't get all those things Bai Ze gave me. Ah, there are gains and losses. That's life!"
Putting her thoughts aside, A-Jiang returned to her bed and went to sleep.
On her first night at the Azure Lotus Sect, she wanted to sleep peacefully, wrapped in her blanket!
Ajahn bought a harbinger bird at a general store. It would chirp at the set time and act as an alarm clock.
Although he was asleep, Ajahn felt very strange, as if he were floating in an endless dark space, drifting all night.
Three days later, tasks were officially assigned to the menial disciples.
The Qinglian Sect stipulates that core disciples are entitled to four servant disciples, inner disciples to two, and outer disciples and registered disciples are not entitled to any number of servant disciples. If they wish, they can hire servant disciples themselves, just as these servant disciples can hire ordinary people from the foot of the mountain to serve them.
Most people want to serve the inner disciples.
This is a great job; it's clean, respectable, and pays well each month. The daily tasks are very simple, but the most important thing is to interact with the elite disciples of the sect. You'll meet and get to know influential figures within the sect, and who knows, you might just stumble upon a great opportunity someday.
However, Chu Yufeng's good connections are limited. Those with connections have already made their moves, while those without connections can only rely on fate or wait until the next mission to come up with a solution.
The square was full of people.
"Quiet."
A majestic voice rang out, echoing across the square, which immediately fell silent.
“Disciples with spiritual roots and ordinary disciples were separated and stood in two rows.”
The crowd quickly lined up as instructed and took turns going forward.
When it was A-Jiang's turn, the steward gestured for A-Jiang to stamp his seal onto a jade book.
A-Jiang did as instructed, and all of A-Jiang's information appeared on the jade book.
The manager looked at them and said, "Do you have any tasks you'd like to do?"
A-Jiang replied, "If the Spirit Beast Garden is short of people, this disciple is willing to go."
The steward was somewhat surprised to hear this, as most female disciples wanted to become attendants to inner disciples, but this was an exception.
He flipped through the mission manual and discovered that the Spirit Beast Garden was short of people.
So he laughed and said, "You're quite honest, kid. The Spirit Beast Garden is short of disciples. Do you know the Wind Riding Technique?"
Ah Jiang shook his head, "I really haven't learned this."
The steward meant well and took out two jade slips: "These are the basic Wind Control Techniques, which can save some time on the way there and back. Take them and learn them."
A-Jiang was overjoyed, never expecting to receive the cultivation technique, and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Alright, you can go now," the steward said.
After hesitating for a moment, A-Jiang asked, "May I ask how you should be addressed, senior?"
"My real name is Lin Yutang. You can just call me Uncle Lin."
"Bai Chongjiang thanks her uncle." Ajiang bowed respectfully again.
"Yes, go ahead." The cultivator surnamed Lin was clearly satisfied.
Although it was just a casual little spell, he was very grateful for the other party's sincere thanks.
A-Jiang carefully put away his seal and went directly to the Spirit Beast Garden.
The Spirit Beast Garden is a private area enclosed by each peak. Disciples of the sect will have the task of capturing spirit beasts. Once captured, the spirit beasts will be imprisoned in the Spirit Beast Garden. They can be tamed, sold, or their materials can be directly collected. Therefore, special disciples are needed to take care of them, making it similar to a breeding farm.
A-Jiang found the manager of Chu Yufeng's spirit beast garden, who was also a Foundation Establishment stage senior. His surname was Gu, and he had a somewhat serious personality. When he saw A-Jiang coming over, he asked her a formulaic question.
A-Jiang recounted his experience learning beast taming at Zhaoxian Taoist Academy and also mentioned the books he had read.
Uncle Gu nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Your little disciple is not bad. He is not overly ambitious, but his cultivation level is a bit low. He should cultivate diligently in the future."
Ajahn replied respectfully, "Yes."
Uncle Gu broke the seal on the Spirit Beast Garden and said to her, "For details, go find Feng Yuqing inside and ask him."
The old man behind her muttered to himself, "This is a good kid. I wonder if he can be of any help."
Feng Yuqing is a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, already an outer disciple. He's only here on a sect mission to earn sect contribution points.
He was a kind person, and when he saw Ah Jiang, he smiled and said, "Are you the new junior sister?"
He made a very good first impression on Ajahn, so Ajahn replied with a smile:
"Greetings, Senior Brother Feng. I am Bai Chongjiang, a new handyman disciple."
"Has Junior Sister Bai ever looked after spirit beasts before?"
"I have some understanding of it and have read some related books."
Senior Brother Feng seemed relieved and said, "That's good. Let me tell you about the Spirit Beast Garden."
Then she gave A-Jiang a detailed introduction to the Spirit Beast Garden and assigned her the tasks she needed to complete.
Actually, the tasks at the Spirit Beast Garden suited Ah Jiang's tastes quite well. She only had to deal with spirit beasts every day and didn't have to worry about other conflicts, which brought her peace of mind.
Being able to live a peaceful and stable life after arriving here is already a huge surprise.
On the first day, she followed Senior Brother Feng to familiarize herself with the spirit beast garden. As the sun set, A-Jiang happily returned to her own courtyard.
