The garden within the sect is certainly not an ordinary garden, and the plants that were planted were various heaven and earth material plants.
He is in need of various heaven and earth material plants to plant in his private garden.
And such a place was the perfect stage for Qin Yi.
He naturally did not want to miss such a mission.
Gao Peng thought that Qin Yi was happy that the mission was not dangerous, so he smiled too and said: "I can take you there now and help you choose a mission that suits your current situation. What do you think?"
Qin Yi was perplexed hearing his offer, and he couldn't help but ask: "How about here? Don't you intend to catch a fish in muddy water?"
Gao Peng's face changed as he immediately covered Qin Yi's mouth with his hand. He said anxiously, "What a fishing a fish in muddy water? I just wanna take a chance at the chance, okay?"
Qin Yi rolled his eyes and thought, what's the difference?
Without waiting for Qin Yi's response, Gao Peng immediately dragged Qin Yi away with him.
"Let's go to the Mission Hall now. As for here, forget it, it's probably not my fate. It's no good longing for something that should not belong to me."
Qin Yi secretly looked at Gao Peng with admiration as he praised him.
'As expected from people I socialize with!'
"I never thought that Brother Gao had this kind of side."
Afterwards, he imitated Gao Peng's words with the same voice and tone while being dragged on, "Forget it, it's probably not my fate. It's no good longing for something that should not belong to me."
Gao Peng flushed in embarrassment, "Shut up!"
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Mission Hall.
The Mission Hall was located not far from the sect's exit gate.
Disciples who come and go regularly stop by the Mission Hall to receive or report something related to their mission.
Although not as crowded as the martial arts ground, this place was still one of the places in the outer sect that disciples visited the most.
In front of the Mission Hall's courtyard is a wide wooden plank with lots of colorful papers displayed.
Qin Yi found it interesting and couldn't help but ask Gao Peng curiously, "Brother Gao, do the colors of the paper have any meaning?"
"There is." Gao Peng nodded and explained, "There are five colors of paper posted on the Mission Hall board, which are: Green, Yellow, Red, Purple, and Black."
"Each color of paper indicates the level of danger of each mission. Green means "Safe". The missions are written on the green paper usually contain relatively simple tasks and are located within a sect or its surroundings."
"This kind of mission is highly recommended for beginners like you."
After saying this, Gao Peng picked up a green colored paper and handed it to Qin Yi.
"Read this!"
Qin Yi accepted it and read it out loud, "Mission: Cleaning the martial arts ground. Requirements: 10-20 people. Reward: 5 merit points for each."
"And… this," Gao Peng plucked another one and perplexed, "Wow, it's rare these kinds of the mission has not been picked up at this hour. They're usually the quickest to pick up. Lucky you, Brother Qin!"
"Mission: Chop 500 logs and hand them over to Elder Ji. Requirements: 1-5 people. Reward: 5 merit points for each."
Gao Peng showed Qin Yi five more missions, and they were relatively safe and easy jobs with low rewards.
Qin Yi read them one by one.
However, the more he read them, the more he wrinkled his forehead because he was very familiar with these jobs.
"These missions... Brother Gao, I think I've been doing this kind of job in my two and a half years in the Novices' Quarter. Although I never cleaned essential sites like the martial arts ground, etc., I did chores like washing, chopping wood, sweeping, and so on. But how come I never got any merit points?"
What's more, he did it every single day for two and a half years.
If he was rewarded, how many merit points did he currently accumulate?
However, he did not receive any merit points, and he did not even receive a Merit Card.
Isn't this unfair?
No, wait- living in the Novices' Quarter was unfair in the first place.
It's too late to say that.
Gao Peng paused for a moment before saying, "I heard about the work of novice disciples in the Novices' Quarter, but I don't know the details. However, I heard that the Novices' Quarter is originally known as the Charity Camp."
"Charity Camp?"
Qin Yi was blurted and was shocked by what he just heard from Gao Peng's mouth.
"What does that mean? This is the first time I've heard this. Don't tell me I do those chores for charity?"
"Hey, calm down, Brother Qin, don't get excited!" Gao Peng's forehead was sweating a little.
He coughed lightly and explained patiently, "As Brother Qin has heard, the Charity Camp is a place where the sect gives a little kindness to people of low-grade aptitude, and each one of the novice disciples is inexplicably related to the official of the sect's disciples."
"You must remember that the Sleeping Dragon Sect is one of the Great Sects in the Azure Dragon Region, and naturally, the requirements for entry into the sect are very demanding. They only accept people of medium-grade aptitude, whereas people of low-grade aptitude will not be accepted."
"However, there are always exceptions in everything. Sect disciples don't stay in the sect forever; some choose to leave the sect after realizing they can't progress any further and their lifespan is limited. They will only return when they receive a call from the sect and being asks for their assistance."
"Outside that possibility, they decide to live in quiet and seclude place, or form a family, or travel around the world in search of opportunities. During that period, they will inevitably meet and relate to many people."
Having talked at length, Gao Peng finally caught his breath for a moment. Then he continues,
"Those novice disciples are the result of relationships between disciples who left the sect. Even after a long time has passed, the sect still has kindness towards those disciples who have done great service to the sect. Therefore, the sect is willing to accept people they recommend even if they have a low aptitude."
"Hence, some people say that the Novices' Quarter is the Charity Camp because it is a place where the sect puts a kindness on those who also receive favors from former sect disciples. And you know? There was no such Novices' Quarter and novice Disciple in other sects. Only the Sleeping Dragon Sect existed."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Brother Gao for explaining it at length." Qin Yi cupped his hands with respect.
It seemed he had assumed wrong all along.
Life in the Novices' Quarter wasn't really unfair. In fact, they were given special privileges by the sect.
He should be thankful for this.
Besides, he had never received any ill-treatment there.
Therefore, he shouldn't have said it wasn't fair.
By the way, this person helped him a lot even though the two of them had only met twice.
Qin Yi felt like he didn't know how to repay him.
Should I stop performing the extraction on him from today? Qin Yi considered it reluctantly.
"Don't mention it." Ga Peng smiled with a smile, "As long as you stay in the sect for a long time, sooner or later you will find out either from my mouth or from another disciple's."
That's right, so you're saying I don't have to stop extracting you?
Good!
Qin Yi thought and nodded, but suddenly he remembered something off, "That's not right- Brother Gao, you said only low-grade aptitude disciples in the Novices' Quarter, but why are there some disciples with medium-grade aptitude?"
He was, of course, talking about Shangguan Yue, Lin Tian, and Zhou Li.
Gao Peng thought for a moment, then replied: "They are probably the same as other novice disciples. It's just that in their case, they should be able to enter the outer sect directly. However, they seem to either have missed or failed in the Triennial Entrance Test of the Sleeping Dragon Sect..."
"Sleeping Dragon Sect has strict rules when it comes to accepting new students. Once you are late, the sect will not accept you for any reason. Only those with recommendations will at least be treated in the Novices' Quarter."
So that's it, Qin Yi finally understood everything.
He never spoke with those three talented appropriately. It was no wonder that he didn't know the circumstances and conditions of their entry into the Novices' Quarter.
About Novice Disciples, they have been a knot in my heart for a long time. I feel that the existence of this status is really unnecessary in this story.
But what can I do? I can't cry over spilled milk, all I can do is continue the story, and maybe the novice disciples' matter will slowly be forgotten as chapters add up.
However, today I suddenly got an inspiration and took this opportunity to give a reason behind their existence.
So, how about him?
Thanks to that "connection," Qin Yi also got here, but he doesn't know the identity of who wrote and gave him the recommendation letter.
Was it possible that the mysterious man was a former Sleeping Dragon Sect's disciple?
Never mind, wait until he arrives at the inner sect. Maybe he'll find the answer there.
Let's not focus on something that is still far from the current him.
"Brother Gao, are there any missions related to heaven and earth material plants such as guarding the garden, growing certain plants, or something like that?" Qin Yi asked.
Gao Peng thought for a while as he looked around for missions that Qin Yi mentioned, "I think this kind of mission is what you are looking for, but you have to have the experience to take such missions."
Qin Yi saw Gao Peng picking the yellow color paper and tilted his head slightly, "Yellow paper?"
"Yeah, that yellow signifies "Moderate Danger." That means the danger level of the mission is sometimes safe and dangerous; it depends on the situation and conditions."
"...Besides, these kinds of the mission are usually a long-term mission, you need to spend a few days or months, or even a few years to complete it. However, you do not need to worry; those long-term missions can fill one of your mission quotas each month as long as the mission is ongoing."
That means you only need to take one more mission in the following months as long as your long-term mission is still ongoing.
Qin Yi nodded in understanding.
Then he saw a piece of yellow paper in Gao Peng's hand and read it,
"Mission: Tending the Vermillion Fruit Tree. Duration: One month. Requirements: 1 person and have experience taking care of heaven and earth material plants. Reward: 200 merit points."
"What a rich reward!"
"Don't look at the reward!" Gao Peng warned him and explained, "Although the reward is great, look what you have to take care of, Vermillion Fruit Tree. Do you know what kind of tree a Vermillion Fruit Tree is?"
Qin Yi was silent for a while as he tried to rummage through the information about the Vermillion Fruit Tree in his memory.
It turned out that he had read this information somewhere in the Martial Art Room.
"Vermillion Fruit Tree, a Rank 2 heaven and earth material plant that has the function of helping one build a foundation..."
"Eh, you know that?"
Gao Peng was surprised that Qin Yi knew that.
After all, in his opinion, Qin Yi was a new disciple born from the Novices' Quarter, and he still hasn't stayed long enough in the outer sect.
It was hard to imagine that he had learned this kind of knowledge in such a short time.
Realizing his blurt carelessness, Qin Yi immediately waved his hand and made up an excuse faster than blinking an eye, "Brother Gao jest, I've been reading a lot of books in the Myriad Books Pavilion lately. I came across a book that contains information about the Vermillion Fruit Tree by accident. Naturally, I still remember it."
"Well..." Gao Peng nodded as he did not overthink it.
"As you already know, the living environment and the way to take care of the Vermillion Fruit Tree are very demanding and imperious. As far as I knew, none of the disciples managed to complete this mission, and they were defeated after a month had passed. So I think you should not take it until you have some experience gardening heaven and earth material plants."
"Therefore, I advise you to take this one!"
As he said that, he handed a paper to Qin Yi.
"Mission: Tending the Elder Hua's Hundred Flowers Garden. Duration: 3 Months. Requirements: 3 people and have gardening experience. Reward: 150 merit points for each."
Qin Yi's eyes lit up wide.
This mission is what I'm looking for! His heart danced with joy.
But suddenly, he frowned: "Brother Gao, who is Elder Hua? Is this person an outer sect elder?"
"That's right!" Gao Peng nodded at his question, "Elder Hua is an outer sect female elder who lives at Spirit Flower Peak. Rumors said that she is a direct disciple of a certain of the inner sect elder and has a hobby of growing various kinds of herbs and flowers on her peak."
"If you've made up your mind to choose this mission, let's report it to the clerk!"
Qin Yi, "But it takes three people to pick it up. Should I find the other two comrades myself?"
"No, you just need to report to the clerk and they will keep posting this mission on the mission board until the quota is met."
"I see, then let's go!"
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a female clerk.
She was an Eight Stage of the Qi Condensation disciple and wore the clothes of an outer sect disciple.
He looked at Gao Peng in surprise, "It's you, Little Peng, why are you here again? Didn't you just finish a mission? Don't tell me you're itching to go on another mission."
Gao Peng scratched his nose. He was a bit embarrassed to be called Little Peng in front of Qin Yi when he was already this big.
"Sister Qiao Na, I'm not here to take a mission but to help my brother to pick a mission."
"Your brother?" Qiao Na scoffed, "Which brother? Brother Yi, Brother Er, or Brother San?"
Gao Peng flushed slightly, "It's a new brother of mine..."
Qiao Na immediately shifted her eyes to the delicate and white face of the young man beside Gao Peng, and she couldn't help but said: "You sure like to collect a lot of young brothers, what's your name?"
"Sister Qiao Na, my name is Qin Yi" Qin Yi cupped his fists respectfully.
"Alright, Little Qin." As Qiao Na repeated the name, she also immediately wrote it in a book.
The corner of Qin Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
Did she really add the word "Little" in front of his name?
After writing, Qiao Na added, "Give me your mission paper!"
Qin Yi directly handed over the yellow paper he had in his hand.
As Qiao Na read the contents of the mission, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked: "Do you genuinely have any gardening experience? Not that I doubt you, but Elder Hua directly issued this mission. She loves plants and flowers very much, and if she finds out that you can't do your job properly, then the consequences won't be as simple as you think."
Gao Peng also looked at Qin Yi with concern.
He originally wanted to pick out a green paper mission for Qin Yi.
However, since Qin Yi chose to take the yellow paper mission, he had nothing to say.
Noticing their concern towards him, Qin Yi smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry Sister Qiao, Brother Gao, I am a gardener in my hometown, and I am confident in my gardening skills."
He's not telling lies.
Apart from caring for the children in his hometown, he also planted many plants in his yard and cared for them every day.
Although he was not a full-time gardener, he could be considered a legal gardener.
"If you say so, then I can only register your mission. After this, you can head to Spirit Flower Peak right now or tomorrow, but you can't delay it for more than a day. The other two people will follow after they register this mission."
After saying that, Qiao Na gave a stamp on the mission paper and then gave it to Qin Yi.
"Take this with you. After your three-month mission period is over, you can ask Elder Hua to seal another stamp on this paper. After that, submit this paper here as a report that your mission is complete. By the way, is this your first mission?"
Qin Yi nodded, "That's right."
"In that case, good luck and don't forget to take your second mission of this month!"
"Yes, thank you, Sister Qiao!"
