Chapter 172 Digging a Well
This mission not only has rich rewards, but is also a mission that anyone can take, and there is no level limit, so almost all players have accepted it. Even the famous anchor and popular player Wang Ergou provided information as a friendly gesture, saying that he first heard about this matter in Taiping Town.
Therefore, Zhen Junzi and his group decided to use a special method - open the door and release Jincai! Jincai is a golden-haired bamboo civet that has been raised to be intelligent. Not only that, it is also quite magical. It is extremely sensitive to various scents. It often pulls out various spiritual herbs and plants from nowhere and gives them to Bai Chenxue, which makes other players jealous for a while.
The reason why Jincai was asked to help was because the water in the well was polluted by a kind of "smell".
"Smell" is different from smell. Smell is just taste. In Blue Star's words, it is the constant movement of various molecules in the air that allows people to smell it.
And "breath" is related to aura.
The spiritual energy of the Guixu Realm is ever-changing, and different spiritual objects release different "auras". The innate spiritual roots in the body of the cultivator are also related to this.
The "five spiritual roots" is just a rough division based on the five elements. It does not mean that there are only five elements in the world. Otherwise, there would not be such things as mutated thunder spiritual roots and ice spiritual roots.
The "aura" emitted by spiritual objects is like an exclusive "code" compiled from the five elements of spiritual energy. Monks who are extremely sensitive to spiritual energy may be able to sense and remember one or two, but most of the time, people can only roughly identify the five elements of the object.
Jin Cai is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, which is why she has this extremely special ability.
According to the plan of Zhen Junzi and others, they would first go to Taiping Town to find some wells that had not been purified, then let Jin Cai touch them and memorize them, and then do a carpet search to see what went wrong.
This method sounds stupid, but it is absolutely effective.
But the first step stumped everyone.
There are no unpurified wells in Taiping Town!
Thanks to the Taiyin Sect's ethos, the cultivators in the Taiyin Sect and Guangcheng Sect gradually began to look upon ordinary mortals with respect. It was said that the Guangcheng Sect even planned to change the frequency of opening the mountain gate to recruit disciples to once a year, and even sent a few more people to garrison the Guangcheng Immortal Residence in each town. This resulted in an unprecedented abundance of cultivators in the towns, and the task of purifying the water wells in Taiping Town was quickly completed. A Guangcheng Sect disciple named Du who had put this matter on the agenda even received verbal praise from Elder Hu.
This is actually a good thing, but it is a bit troublesome for players who want to complete tasks.
After learning that there was indeed no unpurified water well, Zhen Junzi and others discussed it and decided to "dig" a "well" specifically.
Of course, this well is only for helping players complete tasks and does not need to have the function of supplying water, so the geographical location, water output, and design of the well do not need to be considered at all. It only needs to allow water to emerge and carry that unpurified scent.
"It's useless to just dig a small pond randomly. Besides, not all wells are polluted. For example, the ones in the alleys in the northeast are fine!"
After everyone gathered outside Taiping Town, Jia Xiaoren, who had already inquired about the news, took out several cups of milk tea from his backpack and distributed them to everyone. Except for Bian Yuanzhi, who was given a cup of ordinary milk tea made with spiritual spring water, everyone else had milk tea made with more expensive spiritual materials. Even Shen Yun, who came in temporarily, was given a cup of honey lemon tea.
"Thank you... er, what should I call you?"
"You, please don't shorten my life! If you really can't help it, just follow my example and call me your disciple," Jia Xiaoren sipped his milk tea and winked at Shen Yun from an angle where Bai Chenxue couldn't see, saying, "Just call me Master. I'll accept you as my disciple later!"
Shen Yun coughed awkwardly. Fortunately, this was a controlled game character, so he didn't blush. However, he didn't reject Jia Xiaoren's ill-intentioned suggestion: "Well, okay... okay, Master..."
Bai Chenxue, who was drinking milk tea, only heard the conversation between the two and didn't think much about it. Instead, she was a little excited: "Hey? I have a junior brother now!?"
"Ahem... Um, hello, Senior Sister... I mean, what should we do next?"
Zhen Junzi said sourly, "What's the point of having many disciples! None of them are as well-behaved and sensible as my disciple!"
Bian Yuanzhi suddenly said in a disapproving tone: "But Master, didn't you say that Master Jia is also my master?" Upon hearing this, Zhen Junzi said angrily: "Good boy! I bought you off with a cup of milk tea, right?"
Jia Xiaoren said cheerfully: "Hehehe, this is the incompetence of being a master! You should pay attention to the needs of your apprentice! Care about your apprentice's inner world! Which child doesn't like to eat and drink, right?"
Zhen Junzi gnashed his teeth and said, "You're trying to steal my girlfriend, huh? Where's your morality? Where's your bottom line? Where's your wallet? Just wait for me to clear out your warehouse!"
Bian Yuanzhi had long been taught by the players to be less reserved, and he also joked, "Master, don't worry! I still know the principle that a teacher is a father for life! I will steal Master Jia's spiritual stones to honor you later!"
"Good disciple!"
Zhen Junzi immediately praised him happily, and smiled at Jia Xiaoren proudly and provocatively.
Bai Chenxue rolled her eyes: "You two are childish, stop messing around! Tell us about your next plan!"
Jia Xiaoren hurriedly suggested, "Let's go to the south. The area around the family that Gou Ge mentioned is definitely polluted. We can dig in the nearby woods! There are still a lot of uncultivated woods over there!"
"Let's go!"
This proposal was agreed by everyone, and everyone flew towards the team marks on the map.
However, before entering the woods, several people heard a noisy sound coming from the woods -
"Oh, how can you dig like that? Can you do it?"
"If you can do it, come on!"
"Hey, hey, hey! It was you who said we should dig a well first!"
"Then what should we do if we don't dig?"
"Aren't the neighbors digging there too? We can just take a stab at it when the time comes!"
"The way they're digging, it'll take until next year!"
"Hurry up, you've just dug a small hole!"
"It's all because you didn't come to help! Besides, I'm almost done! I'll just blast it later, it will be much faster than next door!"
"I don't want to dig! And I'm just trying to help you loosen the soil! I'd rather go to town and do some research!"
"What the hell are you investigating? Even the big guys in Guangcheng Sect haven't figured it out yet, so how can you figure it out?"
"Have you gone crazy from playing games? This is a game! Games are supposed to let players solve difficult problems!"
"I want the widower!"
"If I don't care about you, how can you grow so big?"
