Chen Tu lay flatly on the bed to start reflecting on what had happened earlier. Being alone inside this ten by ten feet room provided to each individual allows him to think quietly.(You're too passive...)The word Chen Zigang said came into Chen Tu's mind.(If there's an opportunity where you're accepted into a faction, make sure you behave like I do. Do not simply give in to other's threats and place all the concern on yourself first. It won't be too late to consider other matters after you do what I said...)This was what Chen Zigang told him back when they went to their secret hideout. Based on the word's content, he greatly highlighted his concern over Chen Tu, worrying that he'll suffer from unjust from all sides.To ensure he wouldn't go empty-handed, Chen Zigang even packed a few belongings for Chen Tu in case his worry developed. And inside the item he prepared for Chen Tu, there's something he secretly pocketed from the treasure chest brought back by Chen Tian Lang.Inside t

"Tu, as in rabbit?" the elder curiously asked."Yes, elder. It was as you said." Qin Lei nodded in response. His attitude towards the elder is full of reverence and respect. After all, all his achievement today in cultivation was thanks to the elder's care.Without the elder interest in him, it was questionable if he could get into the top 1000 disciples. Of course, his attitude and effort were likable to start with. Or else, it would be pointless even if his Qin Family tried their best to obtain this elder's guidance."After completing his task, give him an additional token as a reward. While you're at it, ask if he's happy to return again tomorrow." the elder said. It seems that the elder has quite a positive opinion of Chen Tu.While an additional token given out wasn't much in the eyes of an elder, to a disciple like Chen Tu and Qin Lei, it was a lot!Nobody would complain about having too many tokens."Disciple understands." Qin Lei nodded at the elder. After saying what he had t

The current Qin Lei looks different from the one Chen Tu met this morning at the Spiritual Garden. Right now, he's wearing a set of tailor-made clothing with exquisite decoration around his collar sleeve and skirt. It also comes with another long robe with a loose belt from both ends.This set of clothing made Qin Lei's aura looks more refined as he appeared like a young prince from some royal family.Of course, part of Qin Lei's appealing characteristics comes from his strong cultivation level and his young and tender age of sixteen."Where are you heading to, junior Chen?" Qin Lei asked. He didn't just see Chen Tu but had already monitored him for a while. After all, his room was across from Chen Tu's but on a different building's end."Replying to senior brother, this junior is trying to familiarize himself with the Outer Grotto." Chen Tu replied to the question politely. In his reply, it carries a hint of formality and friendliness.Chen Tu secretly hoped his reply would be adequa

"Take this just as a reminder from me... Make sure you don't waste too much money on those things they're selling on this floor. I understand that you might be curious about them, but most of them are useless later on." said Qin Lei as his hand pointed at a few stalls and their attractive banners.The goods they sell, such as ten-year-old White Ginseng and Ganoderma, apparently are fakes made from Radish and Mutated Black Fungus."Also, unless you know what you're buying, do not simply trust everything you're told. If things look too good to be true, then it's likely a fake or low-quality goods." Qin Lei added before feeling that all these pieces of advice were enough for today.Anything more than this will make Qin Lei look overly concerned, which wouldn't be good for their recently built friendship."This junior understands. Thank you, senior brother." Chen Tu nodded and watched as Qin Lei left the building. After he ensured Qin Lei was gone, he immediately made his way to one of th

"Good morning, senior brother Qin." Chen Tu greeted Qin Lei when it was his turn to receive the assignment for the day. Many newcomers had no idea that weed removal assignment was not the only job available in this Spiritual Garden.It was just a starter job to assess whether the disciples were qualified for other positions. Why would the management body for the Spiritual Garden hire the disciple for a more serious assignment if they can't even do the most basic job properly?Besides the weed removal position, one could also try to be hired to tend the Spiritual Herbs or reclaim the land for new gardens. Or they could also try to be selected as a harvester when the Spiritual Herbs achieved adulthood.The weed removal and harvester were temporary positions, while the tender and reclaimer were permanent. Their pay was about the same, except for the harvester post, which pays close to double in Contribution Tokens.Of course, only the very experienced disciple here could be hired for tha
