5: Chapter 5 Formal Disciples of the Treasure Pavilion

Hall Master Zhao said to the remaining Disciples at this moment: "Introduce yourselves one by one, be quick!"

The remaining Disciples immediately began to introduce themselves in order.

The subsequent Disciples were unremarkable.

There were only two with Medium Grade Three Spiritual Roots, and the rest were Medium Grade Four Spiritual Roots or Medium Grade Five Spiritual Roots Disciples.

The more Spiritual Roots one had, the slower the Cultivation speed usually was.

Hall Master Zhao waited for everyone to finish their introductions before looking at the four Peak Masters.

"Peak Masters, you may each choose two more people."

At this, the four Peak Masters were quite casual, each selecting two people.

The Master of Zhenyue Peak said: "I will leave the rest to Hall Master Zhao, I shall take my Disciples and leave first!"

Hall Master Zhao smiled and said: "Please, Peak Master!"

The four Peak Masters each took their Disciples and left.

Yu Jin followed his Peak Master as he left, and gave Fang Yuan a look: Brother, let's go together!

Fang Yuan understood, nodded with a smile, and gave a look back: Don't worry, go ahead!

Hall Master Zhao spoke up at this moment: "Qi Hui."

"Disciple is here!" A male Disciple walked up.

"Go report to the Second-Tier industry, Yunxia Stone Valley!"

Qi Hui's expression stiffened, and he said: "Disciple, Disciple, I heard from Senior Brother Li that, if possible, I could go to work at Senior Brother Li's industry?"

Hall Master Zhao glanced at him: "Have you thought it through? That Red Leaf Forest is not simple; there are many Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts, and Loose Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators are occasionally seen there. Danger and benefits coexist!"

Qi Hui gritted his teeth and said: "Please grant me this, Hall Master Zhao!"

"Fine, then you go to the Red Leaf Forest!"

Hall Master Zhao looked at the others: "If anyone else wants to go to the Red Leaf Forest, just stand out now. If you get chosen later, there will be no chance to go back on your word."

At this, many Disciples fell into hesitation.

Fang Yuan was secretly shocked; this was the helplessness of assigned Disciples, their choice was extremely limited.

In the end, five more people stood out and chose the Red Leaf Forest.

Hall Master Zhao did not stop them, directly registered the six people's positions, and then waved his hand: "You may go out and board the Flying Boat directly!"

"Yes, Hall Master!"

The six had complex expressions, bid farewell to those they were familiar with, and left the main hall.

There were only 15 people left in the hall.

Hall Master Zhao continued: "Wang Buwei, you go report to Yunxia Stone Valley."

That Disciple sighed, cupped his hands, and said: "Disciple obeys!"

Next, Hall Master Zhao called out names one by one and directly assigned tasks.

After these Disciples registered their information, they left the main hall one by one and went their separate ways.

Finally, only Hall Master Zhao and Fang Yuan remained in the main hall.

"What about you, where do you want to go? Inside the sect or outside the sect?" Hall Master Zhao asked.

"Inside the sect!" Fang Yuan said without hesitation.

"Hmm, there are many places inside the sect. Here is a list, take a look yourself!"

Hall Master Zhao floated a piece of paper over, which landed in front of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took it and looked carefully.

[Four Great Peaks: Zhenyue Peak, Zhanchen Peak, Moon-Viewing Peak, Qiyun Peak]

[Four Arts Halls: Alchemy Hall, Artifact Hall, Formation Hall, Talisman Hall]

[Four Affairs Halls: General Affairs Hall, War Affairs Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, Commercial Affairs Hall]

[Four Great Pavilions: Technique Transmission Pavilion, Research Pavilion, Scripture Pavilion, Treasury Pavilion]

Looking at this list, he gained a basic understanding of the Luoyun Sect branch's structure. These places all had simple introductions.

He used the elimination method first; the Four Great Peaks were out, as more people meant more trouble.

The Four Affairs Halls were even more out of the question; there would definitely be a lot of work.

The Four Arts Halls were also not viable, as they were too busy. Entering them meant constantly refining artifacts or pills, and those Waste Pills and finished products had to be handed over, leaving no opportunity to keep any for himself.

Unless one was an Advanced talent, they would not have autonomy.

Among the Four Great Pavilions, the Technique Transmission, Research, and Scripture Pavilions all looked good, but he obviously wasn't qualified for the first two. He wanted to go to the Scripture Pavilion, but it actually had cultivation requirements.

So, he finally set his sights on the Treasury Pavilion.

The Treasury Pavilion was actually one of the exchange halls for contribution points. contribution points could be used to exchange for Cultivation Techniques at the Scripture Pavilion, or one could come here to the Treasury Pavilion to exchange for Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, Talismans, Formations, Materials, and even Spirit Stones and other physical goods.

It seemed like there would be many perks here, but in reality, there were none. He had learned at headquarters that all exchanges were controlled by the Artifact Spirit or Formation Spirit, and the Formations operated automatically, leaving no opportunity for corruption.

Fang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he remembered something.

So he said: "Hall Master Zhao, I choose the Treasury Pavilion."

"Hmm?"

Hall Master Zhao said with surprise: "Are you sure?"

"I am sure!" Fang Yuan said without hesitation.

"Fine."

Hall Master Zhao did not try to persuade him, directly registering Fang Yuan's information.

From then on, Fang Yuan officially became a formal Disciple of the Treasury Pavilion of the Luoyun Sect's Hongmeng Dynasty branch.

Fang Yuan took the Appointment Letter and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Hall Master Zhao watched Fang Yuan's back and shook his head with a smile: "Treasury Pavilion? That place is closest to treasures, but they are also out of reach! Why go there? To temper his state of mind?"

Fang Yuan followed the map on the Appointment Letter and it took him half an hour to find Treasure Peak.

He soon arrived at one of the nearest main halls on Treasure Peak.

Just as he stepped into the hall door, a puppy-shaped light projection appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The puppy looked at him expressionlessly, then spoke directly: "Hello, I am the Artifact Spirit, Little Treasure. If you want to exchange for treasures, please go to the Treasure Selection Room to select items, then you can go to the Exchange Room to exchange for treasures. If you are a Disciple transporting treasures, please go to the Rear Hall to hand them over."

Fang Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder and said: "I am a formal Disciple assigned to the Treasury Pavilion."

Little Treasure's expression suddenly became vivid. It curiously circled around Fang Yuan and said in a crisp voice: "So it's one of our own. Then take out your documents and token for me to see!"

Fang Yuan immediately handed over both items.

A ray of light shot from Little Treasure's eyes, covering the two Materials. After confirming, it said to Fang Yuan: "I need to test your Spiritual Sense aura!"

Fang Yuan released a strand of Spiritual Sense.

Little Treasure shot another ray of light, covering the Spiritual Sense.

Then it immediately did a somersault: "Alright, Fang Yuan, you have officially become a Treasury Pavilion Disciple. I grant you Level 1 authorization for the Treasury Pavilion, you can view the information of First-Tier treasures in the Treasury Pavilion."

At this moment, an old man hurried out from behind the main hall.

His eyes lit up when he saw Fang Yuan: "A newcomer?"

"Uh, I am Fang Yuan. How should I address this Senior Brother?"

The old man laughed: "My name is Li Chenggong. Don't look at me appearing quite old; I am actually only thirty-four years old!"

Fang Yuan looked at his white hair and wrinkled face, and expressed deep doubt.

Little Treasure ruthlessly exposed him: "He is one hundred and thirty-four years old, Old Li!"

"Ahem!" The old man coughed, "Alright, enough nonsense. I will tell you about the basic tasks of the Treasury Pavilion."

Fang Yuan immediately became attentive.

Li Chenggong took him to the main hall, where there was a row of rooms on both the left and right sides.

"This side is the Treasure Selection Room, this side is the Exchange Room, and this is the waiting area. All of them are controlled by Little Treasure; you just need to maintain order."

Fang Yuan nodded; this was quite easy.

The old man then took Fang Yuan to the Rear Hall, where there was also a row of rooms.

"Do you see the labels on the rooms?"

Fang Yuan looked over. The rooms were labeled [Medicinal Pill], [Magical Artifact], [Formation], [Talisman], [Other Finished Products], [Spirit Medicine], [Spirit Materials], [Spirit Stone], [Other Materials], [Waste Materials].

Li Chenggong introduced: "Disciples will transport goods here from behind. You just need to check them clearly according to the list provided by Little Treasure, then put them onto the transmission platforms inside the rooms, and store the goods one by one! This is your main job!"

Fang Yuan asked suspiciously: "Do those waste Materials need to be put in too?"

"Hmm, Little Treasure will identify them. Some Materials that are still useful will be reused. Waste products that are completely useless will be spat out. This is when your third job comes in: dispose of these waste products. Usually, you can accumulate a batch and send them to the back mountain to be buried, or you can burn them directly, as you please."

Li Chenggong glanced at him and said: "Don't think that there will be any chance to pick up leaks or make a fortune here. Little Treasure's detection ability is vicious! I've been watching here for decades and haven't even earned a single Low-Grade Spirit Stone!"

Little Treasure grinned: "Thanks for the compliment."

Li Chenggong's face darkened. He turned his head away from Little Treasure and said to Fang Yuan: "Basically, that's all the work. If you have any questions, just ask Little Treasure in the future! In a First-Tier Treasury Pavilion, nothing too terrible can happen."

Li Chenggong waved his hand and walked towards the distance.

Fang Yuan was stunned and shouted: "Where is Senior Brother going?"

"I am retiring. From now on, this place is handed over to you! You can find any empty Immortal Cave on Treasure Peak to live in."

Fang Yuan was shocked and asked: "Senior Brother, does this Treasury Pavilion not need guards?"

"Haven't you seen those Puppets? If anyone makes trouble, they won't be able to leave in one piece."

While Fang Yuan was dumbfounded, Li Chenggong walked further and further away, and in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared.
