After the headmaster's speech, Meng Lin and the other two followed the eldest brother to a towering mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were trees and flowers, and there was an ancient hall standing in front of it, with three big characters on it: Songyang Hall.

According to the eldest brother, the Songyang Hall has been built since the founding of the Cangshan Sect, and it has only taken shape now. It is tall and solemn, with a pavilion in the hall. The hall is divided into three pavilions, namely the Transmission Pavilion, the Refining Pavilion, and the Mission Pavilion, which are the places in the sect responsible for the inheritance and collection of skills, the refining of treasures, and the issuance of tasks.

Entering the Songyang Hall, Chen Zhilong found the deacon disciple of the Refining Pavilion, registered, and received three green storage bags.

With the help of the eldest brother's vigorous vitality, the three of them imprinted their own divine thoughts on the storage bags, and they were all very excited.

However, the three of them have not yet cultivated their own true vitality, and every time they use their divine thoughts to open the storage bags, it takes a lot of trouble and makes their souls tired.

Meng Lin himself has mixed energy, so he is the fastest to get familiar with the storage bag, and it is slightly easier for him to operate than Qiao and Xu.

He opened the storage bag and saw an identity token, a set of green clothes and 100 spirit stones in the bag.

The green sect clothing has a slight array to protect the body, which can defend against the attacks of ordinary warriors;

The identity token has sect prohibitions, which can be used for emergency communication;

The storage bag has a weak space array, which can store commonly used utensils and materials;

The spirit stone contains abundant heaven and earth energy, which can be absorbed and refined to increase cultivation, and is also the universal currency in the world of immortal cultivation.

The eldest brother told them seriously that at this time, the three of them were only registered disciples of Cangshan Sect, and they could receive 100 spirit stones every month for daily expenses.

Registered disciples need to pass the sect assessment every three years to be promoted to inner disciples, and those who fail the assessment will be transferred to outer disciples.

Inner disciples and outer disciples have their own development. After being promoted to true disciples, inner disciples can have the opportunity to be promoted to elders. Their main tasks are to protect the safety of the sect and pass on the sect's immortal methods; outer disciples can be promoted to deacons. They no longer focus on cultivation. Their main tasks are to handle various affairs of the sect and collect and accumulate various resources for the sect.

Now for the three new disciples who have just entered the sect, they only need to do miscellaneous work for four hours a day with many outer disciples in the miscellaneous affairs office. The rest of the time can be arranged by themselves for cultivation. The sect usually has no trivial arrangements. They only need to complete the sect's task assessment once every three years.

Then Meng, Qiao, and Xu were led to the Transmission Pavilion of Songyang Hall. In the Transmission Pavilion, they were taught the most basic Qingming Qi Yin Jue of Cangshan Sect by the eldest brother. By practicing this Qi Yin Jue, it can be said that they have truly entered the door of cultivation.

Senior Brother Chen Zhilong explained: "Qingming Yinqi Jue is to repair physical defects and improve physical strength by sensing and moving the elusive vitality between heaven and earth. If you can achieve great success, you can successfully pass the first stage of immortal cultivation, which is the body-building period. You should also be patient. Excessive excitement is not good for practicing Yinqi Jue. Do some odd jobs in the chores in the next few days. After three days, when you have calmed down, I will teach you how to start practicing." After that, the three were arranged in the chores, received the keys to their respective rooms, and prepared for the next day's work. On the second day, Meng Lin got up early as usual, first meditated for a while to adjust his mood, and then used his hands and feet to slowly operate the Chaos Divine Fist that he had learned in the Tongtian Tower illusion. After a while, the fist wind became faster and faster, like a madman. As Meng Lin's fearless fist was urged, finally, a punch blasted into the sky, and Meng Lin's whole body strength was exhausted in one move. After a moment of contemplation, Meng Lin consumed the essence stored in his body and repaired his strength.

Then, he continued to feed the nameless furnace at the hour of Chen. Meng Lin had already discovered that his body had become more and more tough and warm in recent days, and there was a faint layer of imperceptible precious light floating on his body.

The dirt discharged from these several transformations was getting less and less. After tempering his body with the essence distributed by the nameless furnace this time, there was almost no mud and dust. Meng Lin knew that it seemed that he could not improve his physical strength by refining the essence of heaven and earth distributed by the nameless furnace for the time being.

After washing off the slight mud and dust on his body, Meng Lin felt refreshed. Just as he was about to go out to find Qiao Zongyan and Xu Zengshou, he heard the two laughing and looking for Meng Lin to do odd jobs together.

Xu Zengshou shook his head and said, "Have you heard? Today's chores are farming, uh, to be specific, planting medicinal herbs. Listen to the book, Elder Huang of Baicao Pavilion has a strange temper. When he is happy, he can call the outer disciples brothers. When he is drunk and crazy, even the head of the sect dare not provoke him."

Qiao Zongyan said with a serious face, "Xu Dazui, don't talk nonsense. If others hear it in this important place of the immortal sect, be careful that Elder Huang will tear your mouth."

Meng Lin and the two bowed and greeted, and then went to the chores department together.

The senior brother of the chores department said, "You three are new here, and you can't do the extra work of the chores department. Now there is a medicinal field in Baicao Pavilion that needs five people from the chores department to manage it. You three and these two junior brothers go together."

Meng Lin and the other two outer disciples took the order and went to the medicinal field with the temporary prohibition pass of Baicao Pavilion.

Arriving at the medicinal field, there was mist everywhere, and medicinal herbs were swaying on the ground. In addition to a patch of Ganoderma lucidum and a patch of ginseng, there were many other unknown medicinal herbs.

In the pavilion beside the medicinal field road, a sloppy old Taoist in a green robe was lying diagonally. His hair and beard were gray, and he had a red rosacea nose. He stroked his goatee and said, "Five little ghosts, come here! The Taoist is Huang Zhenwang. Be careful not to step on the Taoist's precious medicinal herbs to death."

Meng Lin and the other five came to the pavilion carefully, and listened to Elder Huang's lecture with their hands down.

Elder Huang raised a vermilion wine gourd, took a sip of wine, pointed to a barren field and said: "You five people should remove the weeds here in the next few days, and then help me plant a field of Astragalus. If you plant well, I will reward you. Go!"

After saying that, Huang Zhenwang carried the vermilion wine gourd in one hand and shook the whisk in the other, and walked towards the Herb Pavilion, but I didn't know whether he was going to practice or go to sleep.

Meng Lin and others, with the farm tools they brought from the Miscellaneous Affairs Office, worked hard for most of the day and finally cleaned up the entire medicinal field. In the evening, after finishing the farm work, Elder Huang Zhenwang didn't come out to give another lecture, so the five people packed up the farm tools and returned to the Miscellaneous Affairs Office to eat and rest.

Along the way, the three new disciples were extremely excited. They asked questions and annoyed the two old outer disciples. They didn't want to say more, but they couldn't resist Xu Dazui's deception. He told them a lot of unofficial history of the sect.

For example, when Master Guo was young, he had fallen in love with Yin Fangfei, the leader of Qingyue Sect. After that, Yin Fangfei went into seclusion for half a year. After that, Master Guo brought back a little girl from somewhere and raised her until now. Later, the old leader of Qingyue Sect attacked Cangshan Sect and beat Master Guo to vomit half a liter of blood with one seal. From then on, he never mentioned looking for Yin Fangfei again. Another example is that Elder Huang of Baicao Pavilion had outlasted three leaders, etc.

Hearing this, Meng Lin hurriedly asked his two senior brothers about the little girl, that is, Guo Ruoxi.

One of the outer disciples told Meng Lin: "Not long ago, Guo Ruoxi returned to the sect and successfully practiced the Qingming Yinqi Jue. Later, he was arranged by the master to go down the mountain to travel and practice. It is said that the master did this to strengthen Guo Ruoxi's foundation for practice. I don't know if it is useful or not."

After eating, among the few people who had done farm work for a day, except Meng Lin who had herded piglets before and was able to adapt to it, the other young masters were very tired, so they all fell asleep hastily after washing up.

After a night, the sun rose as usual. After dealing with their personal affairs, the few people gathered at Baicao Pavilion to finish the next farm work.

Before reaching Baicao Pavilion, they could see Elder Huang Zhenwang lying in the pavilion from a distance, drinking and waiting for them.

Huang Zhenwang saw a few people and shouted, "Here you are, little ghosts. You did a good job yesterday. Today, you just need to crack the astragalus seeds and plant them in the medicinal field."

Meng Lin touched the astragalus seeds and said, "Elder Huang, I'm afraid the tools we brought to the chores department can't crack the seeds quickly. Do you have any good ideas?"

Huang Zhenwang sniffed his red nose, took a sip of wine, and laughed and scolded, "Ordinary astragalus seeds are as hard as a rock. The herbs included in my Baicao Pavilion are all spiritual medicines, and the seeds are as hard as cast iron. There is no good way. The best way is to use brute force to crack them directly. You little ghosts, just treat it as a spiritual practice. After planting astragalus today, the Taoist will have his own rewards. Have you seen this old wine? When you finish your work, each of you will be rewarded with a sip of wine!"

The five people stopped talking, frowned and looked at the cans of brown and black astragalus seeds. After each of them did a moment of psychological counseling, they showed their magical powers to the seeds.

Meng Lin used his fists, Qiao Zongyan used his palms, Xu Zengshou used an iron folding fan, and the two outer sect brothers used their fingers and feet respectively, each of them attacking the Astragalus seeds.
