Chapter Eighteen: Sweeping Mission

  Because my brother came back, I went out for a drink at night and just got back, so this chapter is a bit late!

  ——————————————

  "Alright, stop kneeling!" The old man said, "This time the sect has already made a statement. Among you people, the top 5 performers will receive an Qi Gathering Pill as a reward! If you take the Qi Gathering Pill, there is a high chance that you will be able to refine your spiritual energy and become inner disciples later on!"

  Everyone listened to the old man's words, their faces filled with determination, and said in unison: "We will definitely work hard!"

  The old man looked at the determined look on everyone's face, nodded in satisfaction and said: "This is the best way, the most important thing in cultivation is perseverance, as long as you don't give up, one day you will succeed!"

  At this time, two young men wearing orange clothes walked over, both of whom were not very old, about 20 years old. They had a treasured sword on their backs, but upon closer inspection, it would be discovered that the swords on the backs of these two young men were all ordinary weapons, only used to put up a front.

  "Elder!"

  Two disciples respectfully bowed to the slovenly old man.

  The old man nodded and said, "These people are just nominal disciples. You take them down to assign tasks. When their tasks are over, you see who did well and bring them here to receive rewards."

  After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and went back to his rocking chair, closed his eyes again, apparently the rest of the things had nothing to do with him.

  Two disciples bowed again to the slovenly old man and immediately turned around to face the crowd.

  One of the disciples stepped forward, counted the number of people, and said: "Which ones are the new disciples who just joined this year? Step out!"

  Yang Chen listened to the young man's words, straightened his back, but raised his head and looked at the young man.

  Zhang Rui and 5 other disciples who entered the door with Yang Chen were also the same, but they just straightened their waists and did not raise their heads to look at the young man.

  The young man glanced at the seven people and immediately pointed to Zhang Rui, Zhao Qian, and Yang Chen, saying in a calm tone: "You three come with me!"

  After finishing speaking, the young man walked directly in the direction he came from.

  Yang Chen glanced at Zhang Rui and Zhao Qian, then walked in the direction where the young man had left.

  They walked in silence for a while before the young man led the three of them to a loft.

  The pavilion has 12 buildings, each of which looks extremely luxurious from the outside. Even the palaces of mortal emperors may not be as luxurious as these pavilions on the outside.

  The young man stopped in his tracks, turned around and pointed at Zhang Rui, saying calmly: "From now on, the four attics here, you are responsible for sweeping, must be spotless, not a speck of dust!"

  He immediately took out a dan medicine from the storage bag at his waist and handed it to Zhang Rui, saying: "This is a Biegu Dan. After eating it, you won't need to eat or drink for 15 days. During this period, you will stay in the attic! As for the cleaning supplies, they have all been placed at the door of the attic. The wooden bucket has a small restriction inside, and when the water is used up, it will be generated automatically, so you don't need to worry about the water problem!"

  "Right, within these 15 days, you can only stay in the attic and absolutely cannot come out. Once you're caught coming out, what awaits you is being directly expelled from Tian Dao Gate!" He then reminded the three of them again before handing over the Bu Gu Dan to Zhang Rui.

  Zhang Ruiru received the treasure from Zhibao, and respectfully bowed to the young man. He then turned around and walked towards the 4 pavilions behind him.

  The young man turned around and looked at Yang Chen and Zhao Qian, then took out two more Bei Gu Dan from his storage bag and handed them to the two people, saying: "You two are in charge of the remaining 8 pavilions, one person for 4!"

  The two nodded respectfully and immediately turned around and walked directly towards the attic.

  Yang Chen was assigned to the last 4 attics, the reason is simple, that is, the last 4 attics look older than the other 4.

  Yang Chen didn't say anything about it, after all, he was from a farming family and had been doing cleaning work at home every day, so he was already used to it, so there was no need for him to argue with Zhao Qian to save some trouble.

  There was a rag and a wooden bucket outside the attic, which were apparently his tools.

  Yang Chen raised the wooden barrel, looked into it for a moment, and didn't experiment to see if the water would reappear after being used up. After all, there was no need for that, and the young man definitely wouldn't deceive them.

  Yang Chen raised his head and looked at the plaque on the attic, and the three big characters "Wang Yue Ge" appeared in Yang Chen's line of sight.

  At first glance, these three fonts give people a sense of comfort, as if they are alone in the quiet night sky, gazing at the bright moon above, carefree and drinking fine wine with great ease.

  Yang Chen stared at the three words, gradually becoming infatuated with them. After a moment, he slowly came to and picked up the wooden bucket, walking towards the attic.

  As soon as he entered, Yang Chen was attracted by the scene in front of him. The first floor of the pavilion was a large hall, with ten sandalwood pillars standing around it, each pillar carved with a giant dragon, vivid and lifelike. There were also some simple decorative vases on the sides. In the central position, there were two chairs, which were obviously extraordinary despite being made of wood. On both sides, there were two rows of chairs, one side had 25 chairs, adding up to exactly 50 chairs in total.

  If someone who understands array techniques were here, seeing these decorations would surely exclaim that the Tian Dao Men is truly a grand and bold creation, for in this pavilion's first floor, numerous arrays have been laid out.

  Starting from the sandalwood pillars, sandalwood has the effect of driving away evil spirits. Normally, as long as a person wears some sandalwood accessories on their body, they are invulnerable to evil spirits, let alone the ten pillars here that are all made of sandalwood.

  As for these ten pillars, there is a saying in the divination that "ten stabilize four directions", this is a typical Ten Directions Formation. As long as you stay within it, your mind will be clear and refreshing.

  Finally, these 50 chairs represent the 50th great way, which is the art of Zhou Tian.

  Yang Chen didn't understand what was being said, and merely sighed at the toon wood pillar before starting to get busy.

  Yang Chen put the rag into the wooden bucket to wash it clean, wrung out the water and walked towards the chair, planning to start wiping from there.

  When Yang Chen was at home, the tables and chairs in his room were always wiped by himself, so wiping chairs was simply a familiar routine for him, without any sense of unfamiliarity.

  The afternoon flew by quickly, but under Yang Chen's non-stop work, all the chairs in the large hall and the windows around had already been wiped clean.

  Yang Chen smiled slightly, let out a breath of relief, and casually found a chair to sit down in, planning to take a rest. After all, he had been busy for the entire afternoon, and even if he could endure hardship, he should still take a break.

  Gulu

  A dull rumbling sound came from Yang Chen's stomach.
