Yao Guang Pai is the most prestigious sect in the entire Fang Zhu mountain range, naturally occupying the spiritual land of the entire mountain range.
The Jade Light Sect has five main peaks, namely the Eastern Qingmu Peak, the Southern Liuhuo Peak, the Western Duojin Peak, the Northern Ruoshui Peak, and the Central Houdede Peak, belonging to the five elements of wood, fire, gold, water, and earth.
Each main peak has a Yuan Ying period cultivator sitting in town. The Yao Guang Sect relies on the five Yuan Ying period cultivators to rank third among the four gates and eight sects. From this, we can see the important position of the Yuan Ying period cultivators. If one sect has one more or less Yuan Ying period cultivator, it is enough to change the ranking of the entire sect in the Tianyuan Continent.
The whole sect's council chamber, the grand hall for receiving external guests and other places that come into contact with the outside world are all located in the central Thick Virtue Peak, taking its name from the phrase "thick virtue carries things".
Mo Qingchen and these miscellaneous disciples were naturally also driven by the doll-faced monk, who steered the large ship to the grand square of Houdede Peak.
The entire square is paved with fine celadon jade, warm and transparent, smooth and mirror-like. As soon as you step on it, you will feel refreshed and clear-headed.
Mo Qingchen had never been to a place with such abundant spiritual energy before, and he could feel the spiritual power inside him stirring restlessly. He couldn't help but want to close his eyes and start cultivating immediately. No wonder countless rogue cultivators would fight tooth and nail to enter a prestigious sect, even if it meant becoming a lowly servant disciple. Just the abundant spiritual energy here was worth it.
"Wang Shidi, you're up so quickly." One of the foundation-building cultivators, who looked to be in his thirties, walked over and greeted him after seeing the large ship land and transform into a small boat the size of a palm that flew into the hands of the doll-faced cultivator.
Then came four more monks, all of whom were at the foundation-building stage of their cultivation.
Mo Qingchen secretly clicked his tongue, in the past he thought that foundation building cultivators were rarely seen, only after entering Yao Guang Sect did he discover. Foundation building cultivators are like big white radishes, so easy to encounter. He had already met six of them.
"This is the information about this batch of miscellaneous disciples, take a look at it, seniors." The doll-faced monk said as he tossed out five jade slips, flying towards the five people.
This batch of miscellaneous disciples is roughly five or six hundred people, among whom the ordinary people occupy the majority, and the cultivators in the refining period are less than a hundred.
Nor did they see how they deliberated, most of the miscellaneous disciples were named and divided into five groups, each standing behind a foundation-building monk.
Mo Qingchen found himself once again becoming one of those few people, like a commodity waiting to be sold. Standing in place, letting others appraise him.
"This disciple has cultivated nine layers of Qi, and I happen to need a disciple to take care of the spiritual beast on my side. If his cultivation is too low, he may not be able to withstand the pressure of the spiritual beast. Otherwise, this person can join me at Golden Forge Peak."
Another slightly chubby foundation-building cultivator sneered, "Zhao brother is indeed a good candidate. Our Thick De Peak also needs a disciple to pluck high-grade spirit fruits. Those who haven't reached the later stage of Qi Refining aren't qualified."
Mo Qing looked on coldly as several Foundation Building cultivators haggled over prices like they were buying vegetables in a market, and for a moment, the feeling of being in a sacred realm dissipated somewhat. It seemed that no matter where one was, disputes were unavoidable.
It's no surprise that several foundation-building monks want to bring in a miscellaneous disciple with higher cultivation into their own peak.
All formal disciples, in order to earn spiritual stones, will go to the Executive Hall to receive tasks, but they have the freedom to choose tasks. Except for outer door disciples who have a mandatory number of tasks to complete each year, once they become inner door disciples, it's entirely up to them. If you're from a wealthy family, even if you don't do any tasks at all, no one will bother you.
That is to say, a large number of miscellaneous tasks in the entire sect are done by miscellaneous disciples. Some things can't be done even if the cultivator's cultivation is low, which makes many executives very headache.
Most of the miscellaneous disciples are ordinary people with low qualifications, and it's unknown when they will reach the middle stage of Qi refining. When it comes to being useful for the sect, who knows when that will be? Therefore, when a miscellaneous disciple reaches the late stage of Qi refining, they will naturally be contested over.
Several foundation-building period cultivators divided the remaining miscellaneous chores disciples in front of a crowd, without any demeanor, and then cast their eyes towards Mo Qingchen.
Mo Qingchen twitched the corner of her mouth, she didn't want to be too low-key, but couldn't be so high-profile either. In terms of cultivation, she wasn't the highest; in terms of age, she wasn't the youngest. How did it end up with only her left?
"Cough, this little girl's innate talent is ordinary, but her fire spirit root is not bad. A few fellow disciples don't need to compete with me, our Huo Yan Peak is currently lacking a Dan room's child after all." said a cultivator with a slightly dark complexion.
"Zhang Shidi, what's this 'average talent', '杂役弟子' ( miscellaneous disciple)? And there are a few with good talents. This girl's wood spiritual root is quite good, didn't you see that her identity card says she's skilled in wood system magic? She'd be perfect for our Qingmu Peak." The cultivator who spoke looked like the oldest among the five, his eyes were so small they were almost just a slit, and even when speaking seriously, he made people want to laugh.
"Why don't the two of you stop arguing, how about going to our Ruoshui Peak instead? It would also avoid any discord between the two of you." The speaker was the only female cultivator, who looked like she was in her early twenties, with a bright and beautiful appearance.
"Wang Shimei, that girl has four spiritual roots, but lacks water, how can she possibly go to Ruoshui Peak?" The oldest cultivator said bluntly, without showing any tenderness or sympathy.
"Can't go? Who doesn't know that we, the female disciples of Zhuque Peak, are numerous? This girl looks decent enough. If she catches the eye of our Master Yan, who knows what kind of good fortune might come our way? It's not like going to Liuhuo Peak to burn fires or Qingmu Peak to farm is any stronger!"
"He..." The man's words left everyone speechless for a moment, and it was unclear whether he or the woman had the sharper tongue.
Zhujigirl ignored them, and Mo Qingchen beckoned to Xiaoyu: "Little girl, come here quickly. Are you willing to follow me to Ruoshui Peak? There are many beautiful sisters there, and countless beautiful clothes to wear."
Mo Qingchen almost stumbled, she was thirteen years old, not three years old!
"Wang Shijie, why don't we ask this little girl where she wants to go instead? Since all the miscellaneous disciples are dressed uniformly anyway." The male cultivator with a slightly darkened face said.
"A few seniors, are you done yet? If that's the case, I'll leave first. You can discuss slowly." The doll-faced monk standing aside finally lost his patience.
He shook his sleeves and left in large strides, glancing at Mo Qingchen along the way, transmitting a message: "You're just a little girl with too many troubles!"
The monk with a long face shook his head and smiled: "This King Shidi, young and yet has such an impatient temper. In that case, why not really ask this little girl where she wants to go?"
After all, they are just miscellaneous disciples, and the master has not shown up. Let them, a few managing disciples, choose people, it's not worth wasting too much time.
Five foundation-building cultivators looked over, and Mo Qingchen took a deep breath and said: "I... like wood-element spells, I want to go to Qingmu Peak..."
"What a little girl!" Zhuji female cultivator hummed, beckoning with her hand and summoning a lotus-shaped flying artifact to carry herself and the miscellaneous disciples away.
Several Taoist priests each took out flying artifacts and carried their disciples away, leaving the square empty in an instant.
"Little girl, you still have a good eye for things." The older monk finally felt a bit embarrassed and chuckled, his eyes disappearing into his smile.
Mo Qingchen couldn't quite grasp this person's thoughts and didn't want to show off too much, so she just smiled slightly.
The monk felt good and thought he had won the argument with the four of them, not really paying much attention to a small miscellaneous disciple. He naturally didn't say anything more, driving his flying tool for nearly half an hour before slowly descending.
"Master Uncle." Several early Hou who were there at the time of the Lianqi period cultivators paid their respects.
"Have these disciples arranged for now and we'll allocate them tomorrow."
Mo Qingchen was led to a courtyard like a driven sheep, wore the uniform of the sect, updated his identity jade card, and then was taken to another place, assigned a residence.
The room is quite spacious, with four rosewood beds, and the bedding on top looks new. The furniture in the house is complete, and it's not bad for a miscellaneous role like Brother.
Mo Qingchen couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration, how could she have forgotten this point? As a miscellaneous disciple, it was obvious that she wasn't qualified to live in a single room alone. Wouldn't it be very inconvenient for her to cultivate or refine pills in the future?
Mo Qingchen was deep in thought when he heard a voice say: "What's going on? This outfit is too ugly, how can you wear it out?"
Mo Qingchen looked up and saw a 15 or 16-year-old girl shaking a gray robe with one hand, shouting on the side.
Mo Qingchen lowered her head and flipped through the clothes she had brought, a total of two sets, both identical gray Taoist robes. On the body of a young girl, they didn't look very good.
"Wooo, I didn't want to come here, it's all because my mother saw that Second Aunt's daughter had made something of herself and was dissatisfied with me, insisting on sending me here to be a miscellaneous disciple..." Another girl actually started crying.
Mo Qingchen and the only girl who didn't make a sound exchanged a glance, both of their eyes had a hint of being at a loss for words, yet for a moment, they shared an unspoken understanding.
"This sister, our disciples are just doing chores, this dress may not look good, but it's better to be durable and dirty, so we don't have to wash it all the time." The girl spoke out to advise, her voice soft and gentle, with a soothing power that calmed people's hearts.
Mo Qingchen found that all four of them were girls with cultivation, the soft-spoken girl was at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, the girl complaining about her clothes being ugly was at the third layer of Qi Refining, and the crying girl was at the second layer of Qi Refining.
Thinking that they didn't know how long they would live together in the future, the two of them were like this and it would inevitably affect their mood. Mo Qingchen also spoke up: "Little sister heard that our kind of miscellaneous disciples, if we work hard, will have the opportunity to become outer or even inner door disciples. If that happens, naturally we won't need to wear these clothes anymore. Even as a outer door disciple of the Yao Guang Sect, it's enough to bring honor to the family."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crying girl paused for a moment, and another girl said: "Sister is only young and has already cultivated her energy to the fifth layer, naturally there is great hope, we can't compare to that!"
Mo Qingchen's meaningless smile, that's all she said, and what they do in the future is their own business, at worst, just ignore it.
On the second day at dawn, a loud bell rang out and voices came from outside: "Hurry up and gather, go to Xiaoyi Hall to wait for instructions."
