My cultivation is too simple

Chapter 2 Inferior Spiritual Root
All Taibai Academy's immortal cultivating students must complete the tasks of Taibai Academy on time and in quotas.

These tasks are equivalent to school assignments on Earth.

The tasks are very complicated, including fishing for spiritual fish, planting spiritual rice, cultivating spiritual beasts, etc.

Even the proud daughter of a big family like Xiao Yueying is no exception.

However, as the saying goes, if there are policies above, there will be countermeasures below.

For immortal cultivators from a big family like Xiao Yueying, the most precious thing is time, and they will naturally not waste time on such tedious tasks.

Therefore, almost every family cultivator will bring some slaves in after entering the academy.

In addition to taking care of their daily lives, some slaves will be entrusted with important tasks to complete these tasks.

Different from planting spiritual rice, fishing for spiritual fish not only requires certain skills, but also requires an immortal cultivator and a certain amount of mana to be produced in the body.

Therefore, the slaves who are responsible for fishing for spiritual fish are usually given simple immortal cultivation techniques. After cultivating a little magic power, they can go to the [-]-mile Erhai Lake to fish for spiritual fish.

In the Xiao family, Zhao Bin had always been in charge of fishing for spirit fish.

Zhou Youke remembers that since he got this assignment, this guy's status among the Xiao family's servants has risen sharply. He walks like he's holding his head up, and everyone has to fawn on him.

Practicing the immortal cultivation technique means soaring into the sky.

Although he is still a servant of the Xiao family, his status is far beyond that of ordinary servants.

And now that Zhao Bin is missing for no reason, isn't this an opportunity?
As long as you can get this mission, you can get the immortal cultivation skills from traveling around. Even the lowest level skills are a good starting point!
"Zhao Bin disappeared unexpectedly? That's a bit troublesome. After all, whether the task of fishing for spiritual fish is big or small, we can't ignore it. Using the immortal in the family is overkill."

It's difficult to travel around and do the same thing.

Xiao Qing sighed: "Yeah, it's quite troublesome. Forget about Brother You, I have to go see the lady first!"

After saying that, Xiaoqing turned around and entered the inner courtyard.

After Zhou You watched Xiao Qing leave, he quickly returned to his hut.

Soon after, he went around rummaging through boxes and cabinets and collected eight taels of silver.

This is almost all his savings over the years!
Looking at the money, he showed reluctance. It was originally used by him in exchange for martial arts secrets. Now that the immortal cultivation method was placed in front of him, Zhou You had to choose to give it a try!
……

At noon, the inner courtyard became quiet, thinking that the eldest lady had finished venting her anger.

Zhouyou was waiting in the outer courtyard.

He knew very well that the reason why Xiao Qing was willing to tell him this was just to convey a message.

The task of fishing for spiritual fish needs to be re-selected.

And all the servants who follow Xiao Yueying have this opportunity.

It implies that traveling around can also compete!
Xiaoqing couldn't say this kind of thing openly, he could only hint to Zhou You.

Of course Zhou You understands it, so he comes here with money.

Soon after, he met Xiaoqing and stated his intention directly.

Xiaoqing smiled as brightly as a flower, and symbolically took out a tael of silver: "Brother You, you have helped me a lot over the years. I can mention this to the lady. Whether you can succeed in the end depends on you." .”

Of course Zhou You understands and is very grateful to Xiaoqing.

After all, I only received one tael of silver, just for fun.

What Xiaoqing can do is just make recommendations and cannot play a decisive role.

In the end, it still needs to be tested. If there is no spiritual root, everything is useless.

Then Xiaoqing asked Zhou You to go back and wait for Xin'er, which should happen in the past two days.

really.

In the afternoon, Xiao Qing came over and told Zhou You to wait in the outer courtyard.

Zhou You suppressed his inner excitement, and when he arrived at the outer courtyard, he found that there were already several skilled servants waiting for him.

No one said anything. After all, it was a competitive relationship. It was good if they didn't dislike each other.

Not long after, Xiaoqing came in front of everyone holding several yellow talismans. "This is a spirit-testing talisman. If you stick it on your forehead, you can test whether you have spiritual roots. Choose the one with the best spiritual roots."

Xiao Qing distributed the soul-detecting talismans to Zhou You and others one by one.

Zhou Youye felt a little nervous and put the spirit-detecting talisman between his eyebrows.

He only felt a burning heat spread out between his eyebrows, and soon the spirit-detecting talisman emitted a faint green light.

Then, the spirit-detecting talisman turned into flying ash and disappeared.

Zhou You didn't know whether he had spiritual roots, so he couldn't help but look at the others.

I saw that the soul detecting talisman on his forehead was motionless and had no light at all.

Others became even more confused.

"Wander around the lower-grade spiritual roots, take this object, go to Erhai Lake, and hand in a hundred spiritual fish every month, otherwise you will be disqualified and your cultivation will be abandoned."

A cold girl's voice sounded in the courtyard.

Then, a green light quickly flew in front of Zhou You, floating slowly.

I looked around and saw that it was a bamboo slip.

"Brother You, congratulations!"

Xiao Qing said slightly excitedly.

When the servants saw this scene, they were full of envy, but they had no choice but to say "congratulations" to Zhou You.

Zhou You gained the approval of the eldest lady and got the task of fishing for spiritual fish. From then on, Zhou You could be regarded as a meteoric rise among their servants!
There may even be a chance to be promoted to retainer in the future!

Although the retainers are still members of the Xiao family, they are no longer slaves. In addition to serving the Xiao family, they can gain greater freedom!
Zhou You took the bamboo slip and bowed respectfully towards the inner courtyard: "Thank you for your consideration, Miss. I will definitely live up to my expectations!"

No sound came from the inner courtyard. Obviously, to Xiao Yueying, it didn't matter whether Zhou You could complete the task or not.

If it can't be completed, the worst possible thing is to find another one.

After all, Zhou You is just a servant of the Xiao family.

Then Zhou You responded to the congratulations of others one by one, and then returned to the hut with some excitement.

After returning to the hut, Zhou You was not in a hurry to check the bamboo slip. Instead, he took some money and went to the Neiji of Taibai College to buy a roast chicken and rouge gouache.

Taibai Academy is the largest academy for cultivating immortals in Lincheng. It is quite famous throughout Nanzhou. It has a vast territory, spanning thousands of miles, and there is an inner circle every dozens of miles.

Whether you are a mortal or a cultivator, you can purchase items in the inner collection.

Since Xiaoqing was Xiao Yueying's personal maid, she had to stay near Xiao Yueying's boudoir and was not allowed to go out easily, so she would bring back roasted chicken when she traveled around.

After waiting for a while in the outer courtyard, Xiao Qing finally arrived and handed the roasted chicken and rouge to Xiao Qing.

"This is my favorite roast chicken! Brother You, you are so interested!"

Xiao Qing took the oil paper bag and smiled so hard that her eyes turned into crescents.

Zhou You smiled and said, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this job."

After chatting with Xiaoqing for a while, Xiaoqing reluctantly separated from Zhou You.

"Brother You, if you go to Erhai Lake, remember to come back more often."

Xiao Qing shouted.

Zhou You smiled and promised to come back often.

After returning to the house, packing up and saluting, I got up early on the second day of the tour, cleaned the outer courtyard, and then headed for Erhai Lake with the fishing rods bought from Neiji.

Erhai Lake is still dozens of miles away from the Purple Bamboo Forest. For ordinary people, the distance is not short, so you have to hurry up when traveling around.

　You’ve signed the contract, gone through the process, and invested quickly, don’t waste it.
