When Niubi returned to the according to his memory, it was already late. The large, covering a vast area, was now silent. Only the low wooden houses stood quietly one after another.

His gaze swept across the large, and Niubi gave a wry smile.

The so-called was actually where some people with poor spiritual roots or no spiritual roots at all lived. Their daily life was to maintain the daily needs of the Tian Yun Sect.

And these people with poor spiritual roots often tried to improve themselves in their spare time in an attempt to reach the third level of the Qi Condensation stage, leave the, and enter the outer courtyard of Tian Yun Mountain for cultivation.

The door slowly opened, and Niubi, dragging his tired body, returned to the room.

The in the past half a day made him hungry and tired. He wished he could just lie down and sleep, but Niubi knew that Lu Zhong's existence was like a sickle hanging above his head, which could take his life at any time. He must grow rapidly.

Niubi lit the oil lamp in the room. The dim flame of the oil lamp kept flickering, illuminating the simple room.

Although the house was independent, it was less than ten square meters. Inside the room, there was only a bed, a table, two chairs, and a water tank in the corner. There was nothing else.

Niubi shook his head, sighed lightly, and slowly walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, and entered the introspective state according to the most basic mental method of the Tian Yun Sect.

Niubi sat cross-legged on the bed and let his spiritual sense travel around his body. Then, at the dantian, he led out a thin stream of air that circulated within his body. Wherever the air current passed, the conditions inside his body emerged one by one in Niubi's mind.

After a while, Niubi slowly opened his eyes and seemed lost in thought.

"The incomplete and damaged green sphere at the eyebrows just now must be the spiritual root. But what is the white air mass in the dantian? Is it the rumored spiritual sea?"

Niubi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought. Finally, he had no choice but to enter the introspective state again.

He saw a weak air current slowly climbing up at the dantian. In a short while, it reached Niubi's head. Niubi used the air current to carefully observe the green sphere suspended in his mind.

The green sphere was about the size of a grain of rice, with potholes on it, as if it had been gnawed by something.

The air current circled around the green sphere several times and slowly retreated to the dantian.

"It should be right. Just now, I observed for a while and found that the green sphere has the effect of absorbing spiritual energy, but the effect is very slight. It seems that this is the key to why those with incomplete spiritual roots cannot cultivate rapidly."

Niubi calculated the problems with himself in his mind, but even though he knew the problems, there was no way to make up for them. It seemed that he had to think of another way. It was definitely impossible to cultivate through the spiritual root.

"Gurgle!" While Niubi was thinking, suddenly two strange noises came from his abdomen. Niubi helplessly rubbed his stomach and smiled wryly.

"Stomach, stomach, you have suffered today. But there's no way. Who told us we have no power?"

After saying that, Niubi got up, scooped half a bowl of cold water from the water tank in the corner, and drank it in big gulps.

The gentle morning breeze accompanied by the fragrance of flowers all over the sky spread across the land. Tian Yun Mountain was splendid, as if the entire mountain was dancing gracefully in the breeze.

Niubi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a loud noise and subconsciously raised the pillow to shield himself.

Could it be that Lu Zhong has made a move? It's a bit too fast.

This thought just emerged, and Niubi immediately knew he was wrong, because what came towards him was not any weapon or immortal magic, but a basin of cold spring water.

"Niubi, have you finished your work yesterday? Who allowed you to disappear before finishing the work?"

A somewhat sharp voice came. Shivering, Niubi looked up and saw a thin and dark youth, holding a wooden bucket in his hand, glaring at him angrily.

Niubi searched in his memory rapidly. This person was named Wang Heng, a disciple at the second level of the Qi Condensation stage. He was arrogant and domineering and managed dozens of disciples in the.

"Senior Brother Wang, I accidentally fell into a mountain crevice yesterday. It wasn't until the Great Elder rescued me that I survived by luck. I didn't mean to evade work."

Although Niubi was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't lose his temper. He knew that he must endure for now. First, he had to survive before he could have the chance to punish those who had insulted him.

After hearing Niubi's explanation, Wang Heng's expression softened slightly, but still smiled sinisterly.

"Never thought your despicable life would be so tough. But anyway, you didn't finish yesterday's work. Well, today you are responsible for cleaning the entire latrines of Tian Yun Sect. Remember, the entire Tian Yun Sect!"

After hearing this, Niubi was slightly angry in his heart. There were over a hundred latrines in the inner and outer courtyards of Tian Yun Sect, and they were far apart. Usually, three people were responsible. Today, he asked him alone. It was obvious that he was punishing him.

"Why? You don't want to?" Wang Heng looked at Niubi's unfriendly expression and snorted coldly.

"Obey Senior Brother's order!" The displeasure on Niubi's face disappeared quietly. He just replied calmly, then got up to dry the water on his body and walked out. But before leaving, he firmly remembered Wang Heng's smug expression in his heart.

Side quest: Cleaning.

Quest description: Clean the 156 latrines of Tian Yun Mountain to complete. Do you accept the quest?

After Niubi walked out of the room, the electronic synthesized voice suddenly rang out.

Niubi was stunned for a moment, then his heart was filled with joy, and he quickly accepted.

Can accept quests. Does that mean you can level up by doing quests?

The gloom in Niubi's heart vanished in an instant, replaced by excitement. If this was possible, did he have the capital to confront Lu Zhong?

In the dining hall, Niubi couldn't wait to hold the food box and follow the queue.

Although he was pushed to the front by several disciples at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage in the middle, Niubi didn't complain. He knew that in this world where strength spoke, he, a mortal who hadn't even entered the Qi Condensation stage, could only endure silently.

Time passed slowly. Nothing unexpected happened in the dining hall. After Niubi finished eating, he walked towards the outside of the dining hall. But just as he was about to walk out of the dining hall, a foot suddenly flew up behind him, kicking the unsuspecting Niubi straight down.

"Ha ha, Junior Brother Niubi, why are you so careless when walking!"

As soon as this was said, a burst of laughter came from behind Niubi. Niubi turned around abruptly, and a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. Behind him, a fat youth of seventeen or eighteen years old was leading several people, looking at him with interest.

"Senior Brother Zhang, look, Junior Brother Niubi seems unable to get up. Let's go and help him!" The speaker, in his early twenties, was a mortal like Niubi, who hadn't reached the Qi Condensation stage.

Niubi knew these people. The fat one at the head was called Zhang Qiang. When he first came, he had a close relationship with Lu Zhong. The thin one was Zhang Qiang's follower, named Xu Gouzi.

"Good!" Zhang Qiang's small eyes lit up. He quickly led several people over. Then several people surrounded Niubi. Zhang Qiang gave a fierce smile, and a pair of powerful feet directly kicked Niubi's face.

A stream of blood sprayed out. Zhang Qiang and the others didn't stop because of this. Instead, they were even more excited to hit Niubi on the ground.

Fists and feet rained down one after another. Niubi endured the pain on his body and glared at several people ferociously.

"One day, one day, I will make you pay the price."
