Chapter 35: Invasion
Chapter 35: Invasion
He Qingge finally felt at ease after returning to the Tian Xuan Sect.
The tension and fatigue from the journey had dissipated quite a bit.
He used a spirit coin to pay for the horse with the demonic beast bloodline he had rented previously.
They were not surprised. Countless people had lost such horses outside. They were not valuable items and were not spirit beasts.
Moreover, it was even better that he lost it. How much money could they get from renting it?
After that, he went to the Tian Xuan Sect\'s Merit Room to hand over the mission.
The disciple who received He Qingge in the Merit Room looked a little surprised.
It was the person who had given He Qingge the mission.
He did not expect He Qingge to come back alive. It was indeed beyond his expectations.
The Tian Xuan Sect forbade disciples from killing each other, but this rule was only effective in the Tian Xuan Sect.
Zhang Jianchi sent He Qingge out on a mission, which meant that he wanted to kill He Qingge. However, he failed and allowed He Qingge to return alive.
The disciple of the Merit Room carefully sized up He Qingge and found that his cultivation had not changed much. He was still at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, but his aura was more condensed, and his body was emitting a faint murderous aura.
It gave people a vague sense of pressure.
His aura had undergone an earth-shattering change.
He Qingge was like a pure white lamb before he left the Tian Xuan Sect. Now, he looked like a wolf after its bloodlust.
"Alright, I\'ll record it. If there\'s no problem, we\'ll settle the accounts at the end of the month.
"Right, my name is Li Cong. You can look for me for your next mission."
Li Cong, the disciple of the Merit Room, took the initiative to show his goodwill.
No matter what the reason was, He Qingge was able to escape from Zhang Jianchi, which meant that he was a capable person worth befriending.
"Thank you, then. I\'ll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future, fellow Daoist." He Qingge cupped his hands after hearing this, his expression indifferent.
He took out a low-grade spirit stone and placed it on the table.
Calling Li Cong \'fellow Daoist\' was actually a bit of an exaggeration. His current strength was only at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
However, the mission this time had given him a lot of bloodlust. He even killed those at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Many mid-stage and late-stage Qi Refinement Realm cultivators had died in his hands, so he suddenly became bold.
Li Cong looked at He Qingge in surprise. He had changed so much after just one mission.
In the past, when he came to the Merit Room to ask for a mission, although his expression was very calm, and indifferent, one could still see the fear in his eyes.
He was confident, but not confident enough.
The situation was completely different now, and his attitude toward He Qingge had increased by another level.
Looking at the spirit stone on the table, Li Cong smiled and became more friendly.
"You\'re welcome. Let\'s take care of each other."
After bidding farewell to Li Cong, He Qingge returned to the Imperial Beast Peak, preparing to take over the work of tending the Spirit Beast Garden.
His identity as the manager of the Spirit Beast Garden was only his job. He was a servant disciple who needed to do these chores.
Although he had the title of a manager, he was actually still a servant disciple.
The official disciples could cultivate all day long and did not need to be busy with such chores.
The cultivation resources that official disciples came into contact with were also much more than that of servant disciples.
This world was ultimately the world of the strong. Cultivation time was rather precious, and the time to cultivate in peace was rather important.
The sect\'s missions and jobs were two different things. Even if one had a job at the Imperial Beast Peak, one still had to carry out the sect\'s missions.
These were two different systems.
Even official disciples had to carry out sect missions. However, the timing was slightly adjusted. It was not once every three years.
It could even be adjusted according to the conditions of each peak.
The so-called official disciples were outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, true disciples, and so on.
The higher the level, the more cultivation resources they could obtain.
In Spirit Beast Garden No. 3 of the Tian Xuan Sect on the Imperial Beast Peak.
He Qingge pushed open the door to the Spirit Beast Garden. The moment he entered, he saw a rather elegant figure lying on a rocking chair that he had specially made, swaying leisurely.
It seemed that this was the person who took over the management of the Spirit Beast Garden during his mission.
He Qingge walked over with a smile. "Fellow Daoist, you\'ve really worked hard during this period of time."
"Hard? It\'s not hard. I feel quite comfortable." Fang Yu, who was lying on the rocking chair, said with a fake smile. He did not seem to have the intention of getting up at all.
He Qingge\'s eyes narrowed as he looked at the other party, who seemed to be indifferent and had no intention of getting up.
He did not intend to make himself seem like a pushover, so he said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, my sect mission has been completed. I need to take over the work again."
"Your work has been reassigned by the sect. You\'re no longer stationed here. Go to the Miscellaneous Room and ask them about it!" Fang Yu said.
Zhang Jianchi wanted to make a move on He Qingge. Since he had to go through the sect\'s Merit Room, there must be more than one person who knew about it.
Naturally, some people had their eyes on He Qingge\'s original position as the manager of the Spirit Beast Garden.
He Qingge did not say anything after hearing this. He turned around and went to the Miscellaneous Room to ask about it.
After learning that his strength level was too low, he was now arranged to be the keeper of Spirit Beast Garden No. 3.
His status had dropped by a whole level compared to his original position as the manager of Spirit Beast Garden No. 3
Under normal circumstances, someone else would temporarily take over the job during the undertaking of a sect mission and return the post after.
Now, He Qingge had become the subordinate of the person who had replaced him.
It was simply disgusting.
They were using his low level of strength to say that he was not worthy of being the manager of the Spirit Beast Garden.
He Qingge\'s heart was burning with anger.
Being a manager of the Spirit Beast Garden was not a good job. It was only slightly better than ordinary chores.
All kinds of spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Garden had fiery tempers. Ordinary workers were easily injured, including the managers of the Spirit Beast Garden.
There was a Golden Jade White Tiger in Spirit Beast Garden No. 3, and it was at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Once it became angry, the manager of the Spirit Beast Garden had to go and suppress it. If they were not careful, they would be injured.
He Qingge relied on his talent—The Heart of Beast Taming—to take on the role of the manager of the Spirit Beast Garden despite his weak strength.
The group of spirit beasts that were originally explosive and easily angered had been raised into obedient babies.
At this time, someone actually appeared to reap the harvest. It was really hilarious. Was he not afraid of courting death?
He Qingge did not object to this arrangement. As long as there was a simple riot in the Spirit Beast Garden, Fang Yu would be done for.
As the manager of the Spirit Beast Garden, he could treat the Spirit Beast Garden as his own home and enjoy the defensive array inside.
Now that someone had taken over, it would not work.
His every move in the Spirit Beast Garden could be seen by the manager, so he could only return to his original home.
The rooms that the servant disciples lived in were all built uniformly. They were relatively independent houses with independent courtyards.
It was similar to the independent courtyards that were built in the countryside in He Qingge\'s previous life.
From this, it could be seen that the Tian Xuan Sect was rich and powerful. The places where the servant disciples lived were quite good.
