Chapter 258: Direct disciples coming to chop wood?
Early the next morning, the Third Elder specially ordered someone to check and confirm that the Jade Maiden Peak disciples were no longer guarding outside the door, before cautiously having someone open the gate of the Mission Hall.
"Remember, once the Jade Maiden Peak disciples come, close the door immediately."
"Yes."
After repeatedly instructing his subordinates, the Mission Hall finally reopened for business.
And the Third Elder in the backyard, after everyone left, couldn't help but sigh again.
"Both are Peak Masters, why is the gap so big? No wonder people say that people are different."
He only went to find Junior Sister Baihua yesterday, and today there were no Jade Maiden Peak disciples coming to the door. The Third Elder was full of gratitude at this moment.
Until noon, not a single Jade Maiden Peak disciple had come, and the Third Elder finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Rarely relaxing, he brewed a pot of tea in the backyard, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously. He took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction.
"Hmm, the taste is not bad. I'll send some to Junior Sister Baihua tomorrow."
No wonder the old Master loved Junior Sister Baihua and hated that old drunkard. Now it seems that the old Master had eyes like torches, seeing through Hong Zun's character early on; he is a rebellious disciple.
He shook his head and enjoyed the afternoon sun.
However, the Third Elder's side was quiet, but the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was lively today.
Compared to the Mission Hall and the Cultivation Technique Hall, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is indeed much quieter. After all, under normal circumstances, disciples wouldn't come here.
If they want to earn sect points, they go directly to the Mission Hall.
Opening the door early in the morning, the deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was already used to such a leisurely life, but today when he opened the door, he was stunned.
He saw that early in the morning, many Jade Maiden Peak disciples had already gathered outside the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. He had never seen so many people come here before, and today doesn't seem to be the place for distributing cultivation resources either.
"What are you...?"
He looked at these Jade Maiden Peak disciples with suspicion and asked. Hearing this, Zhong Ling, who was at the head, stepped forward, bowed, and smiled.
"We are all here to accept work."
"Accept work?"
He looked Zhong Ling up and down. Is this a direct disciple? Is it a direct disciple?
A direct disciple coming to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to accept work? Are you sure you're not kidding me?
As for the work in their Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, even handyman disciples look down on it. You, a direct disciple, are you making a scene here?
"Well, this disciple, if you want to accept missions, you might have gone to the wrong place. This is not the Mission Hall."
Clearing his throat, the deacon said.
"The disciple certainly knows this is not the Mission Hall. We are just here at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to accept work."
Hmm???
Didn't go to the wrong place?
He looked at the people behind Zhong Ling again. Good guy, inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, handyman disciples, they really all came.
He couldn't understand what these people were going crazy about, but since they came to accept work, he couldn't turn them away, so he could only invite everyone into the main hall.
Compared to the main hall of the Mission Hall, the main hall of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall appeared extremely shabby, with only two or three deacons.
Suddenly, so many disciples poured in, and for a moment, they were really not used to it. When did their Miscellaneous Affairs Hall have such a lively time?
"Come on, just register what you want to do."
Unlike the Mission Hall, there is no need to accept any missions. You only need to register simply, and then you can leave. Finally, when the work is completed, there will naturally be a deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to go and inspect it.
"The disciple chooses to chop wood."
"Good, one for chopping wood, Jade Maiden Peak direct... direct disciple Zhong Ling, right?"
Having been in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for thousands of years, this is the first time he has seen a direct disciple come to chop wood. It is really rare.
"The disciple also chooses to chop wood."
"Good, another one for chopping wood, Jade Maiden Peak inner sect disciple..."
"The disciple will deliver letters."
"Good, one for delivering letters, Jade Maiden Peak outer sect disciple..."
"The disciple will run errands."
"Good, one for running errands, Jade Maiden Peak handyman disciple..."
They were busy for the whole morning before they finished registering the Jade Maiden Peak disciples. After everyone left, the several deacons in the main hall looked at each other with confused expressions.
"What do you think they are thinking?"
"Who knows, anyway, they registered. I estimate that not many people will actually do it. Direct disciples chopping wood, are you kidding?"
"I think so too."
"Alright, why talk about these useless things? A batch of outer sect disciple uniforms arrived yesterday. Count them. The Bai Cao Peak side is in a hurry for them."
"Good."
They didn't take it seriously at all. However, the several deacons never expected that Zhong Ling and the others were not joking.
After registering, Zhong Ling took a group of disciples to the back mountain of the Dao One Sect.
There is a large forest of Black Iron Wood in the back mountain. All the buildings of the Dao One Sect use Black Iron Wood as raw material and then carve array formations according to requirements.
Tall Black Iron Woods stand high, and touching them feels as hard as steel.
Don't look at the fact that there is a whole forest of Black Iron Wood here, but if placed in the outside world, the price of Black Iron Wood is extremely expensive.
Especially in the secular world, those who can afford Black Iron Wood are all wealthy families, and even some poorer royal families may not be able to afford Black Iron Wood.
Therefore, Black Iron Wood is not uncommon in the Dao One Sect, not because it is not valuable, but because the Dao One Sect does not lack this thing. The number one sect in the Eastern Continent, do you think it's a joke?
Entering the Black Iron Wood forest, Zhong Ling said.
"Start, junior sisters."
"Good."
Immediately, the women drew their long swords and slashed out. Those with higher cultivation directly chopped down the Black Iron Wood with one sword, and those with weaker cultivation, although they needed several swords, were still much faster than the handyman disciples.
"One sword for one tree, I can chop ten swords in ten breaths. We've hit the jackpot."
After really getting started, the women realized that this is really a bright path to get rich.
Ten breaths is one point, isn't this taking off directly?
For a time, the Black Iron Wood forest constantly emitted huge booming movements. This is the sound made after the Black Iron Wood was chopped down.
It's just that the frequency is a bit too fast; it's one tree falling every breath.
In just half an hour, a large area of the black wood forest was chopped bare.
And on the other side, at the horse farm at the foot of the mountain, another batch of Jade Maiden Peak disciples registered for the task of delivering letters.
The main content is to send some letters to various secular industries belonging to the Dao One Sect in the Eastern Continent.
Or if these secular industries have something to report, it is not a very urgent matter, and it can also be handed over to them to bring back, send to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, and after the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall classifies them, they are classified into other halls or peaks.
To put it bluntly, it is a job of running errands, and there is no danger. It does not require you to slay demons and eliminate devils, nor does it require you to rush for time. Anyway, you just need to deliver the letters safely and bring them back.
As for why not use sound transmission talismans, are sound transmission talismans free? Using sound transmission talismans for trivial matters, can you manage the household?
Originally, these things were usually done by handyman disciples, but this time they were basically outer sect disciples of Jade Maiden Peak.
Before, when they went to pick up the letters, they had already numbed the deacons of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
