Chapter 160: The Horror of Seeking Immortals in the Midnight
When Xiao Jie walked out of the hall, I Wish to Become an Immortal had already changed into the brown coarse cloth clothes of a handyman and was being assigned work by a Taoist boy.
Seeing Xiao Jie coming out, I hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Feng, how about it, can you stay?"
"No, it's not surprising that the Taoist Master refused to accept me. There is only one magic talisman, so naturally only one person can enjoy this opportunity."
"Ah, what should I do?"
Xiao Jie said calmly: "Langzao, this is not an emergency. Didn't we just forget about it before? Xuanxu Palace will most likely not accept me."
Xiao Jie hadn't done anything yet, but I wanted to become a fairy but I was anxious, "But...but, aren't we going to be separated?"
"Haha, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. We have to separate sooner or later. Don't worry. When you finish your studies and come down the mountain, you will naturally have the opportunity to form a team."
"But...but...otherwise I'd better go with you."
Xiao Jie was speechless for a moment, "Damn it, do you think you have any potential? Why don't you want to resurrect your brother?"
Now I wanted to become a fairy and was speechless.
After squirming for a while, he whispered: "It's mainly because I've been hanging out with you for a long time, and I feel a little nervous when I'm left alone."
Xiao Jie said in his heart, who can say otherwise? You kid has not withstood the beatings from the society, and you are in a daze in dealing with people. To be honest, you are really a little worried.
He sighed and said: "If you don't even have this bit of courage, why are you begging for immortality or asking questions? Just hang around with me and it's over. Don't even think about resurrecting your brother. You don't have the ability. .
But if you really want to resurrect your brother, then cheer up. This Xuanxu Palace is the largest sect in Fengyin State. It is probably ranked high in the entire game. Don’t think you are just a bastard. Servant, that is also a rare opportunity. Didn't you see that there are so many people outside who want to come in but have no chance? "
I wanted to become a fairy and gritted my teeth, "I understand Brother Feng, don't worry, I will be fine."
"Don't worry, it's a ghost. By the way, have you ever been to work?"
"No, I haven't graduated from college yet."
"So you have never been in the company? That's a bit troublesome. As someone who has been there, I have nothing to teach you. There is only one thing - you must learn to pretend to be a grandson. You are now a handyman of Xuanxu Palace. You can say that you are at the bottom of this unit, so you must know how to be patient, learn to please people, and learn to flatter others. To put it nicely, it can be called 'good interpersonal relationships'..."
Xiao Jie's instructions were a bit like parents sending their children to college.
I Want to Become an Immortal listened carefully and finally said seriously, "I will try my best."
"It's not about trying your best, but you must do it. Don't think that there is no danger if you don't fight monsters in the sect. You should have read the fairy tales and fantasy novels, right? In those stories, there are also overt and secret struggles in the sect. As long as you want to get ahead, you can It’s bound to get involved.”
I want to become an immortal, but I am just a handyman, how can I get ahead?"
"How do I know? I have never been in Xuanxu Palace. But, there is always a way. It depends on your ability. In my opinion, there are opportunities everywhere. The strongest person in Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's novels Who is it?”
"Sweeping monk?"
"That's right. You, a handyman, can be considered a sweeping monk after all. You may not be able to get ahead, so work hard, young man. When you cultivate the immortal way, I may have to ask you to help me upgrade."
What I said made my blood boil with excitement.
"Okay, I will definitely work hard. Thank you so much, Brother Feng. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to enter this Xuanxu Palace. In fact, the magic talisman back then..."
"Okay, let's just say goodbye to mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Let's just say goodbye. You quickly get familiar with the environment and prepare to go to work. After all, you are a handyman and you still have to work hard to work for others.
I still have to hurry up and explore. I can stay for one night, but I can't waste it. Let's contact you later. "
After saying goodbye, I wanted to become an immortal and left with the Taoist boy.
There is also a Taoist boy who comes to guide Xiao Jie.
"This way, strong man, I'll take you to your accommodation tonight."
Xiao Jie followed the Taoist boy to a guest room in a side hall.
Although the room is simple, it is clean and tidy, and it is antique and full of flavor.
"The strong man will rest here tonight. Someone will come to deliver food in a while. The strong man should try not to move around casually, so as not to cause trouble."
Xiao Jie said to himself, "Try not to move around", which means you can move around.
Not long after, at five o'clock, someone brought dinner as expected.
A bowl of rice has a satiety level of +10, a plate of vegetables has a satiety level of +8, and a chicken drumstick has a satiety level of +12.
After eating, my satiety level increased by exactly 30%. It was really considerate and thoughtful.
After Xiao Jie finished his dinner, he walked out of the guest room and walked around Xuanxu Palace.
It was evening at this time, and the sun was setting in the west, making the clouds on the horizon a blood red color. The dim light shone between the halls and pavilions of Xuanxu Palace, giving it a different kind of beauty.
You can almost take a screenshot and use it as your desktop.
Xiao Jie opened the system interface and checked it out. He actually found a screenshot function. He clicked it and took a few pictures.
Xiao Jie first carefully walked around the side hall, but the Taoist priest who passed by didn't pay much attention to him.
It seemed that he could indeed move around. Xiao Jie felt relieved now and walked towards Tongxuan Hall.
According to previous observations, there are the most skill trainers here, and it should be the place where Taoist priests learn Taoist professional skills.
Xiao Jie walked into the hall and his eyes immediately locked on the Taoist trainer!
Xuanying Zhenren (Taoist trainer), level 42, health value 2400.
"This Taoist Priest, please be polite."
"Huh? Who are you? It seems you are not from our Xuanxu Palace. What do you want from me?"
"I am a guest staying here temporarily. I came here accidentally. I have always wanted to ask for immortality. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
"Hmph, how can Taoism be taught lightly? You'd better not make such a joke." Master Xuanying said very displeasedly.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was really not that simple.
But it doesn't matter. I left Tongxuan Hall and found a place where no one was around. I looked around and saw that there was no one around - transformed into a human form.
A puff of white mist flashed past, and Xiao Jie turned into a Taoist boy, wearing a soapy green short robe with two horns on his head. He looked young.
(No, no, the Taoist boy’s status is too low. It’s best to be a Taoist priest.)
Xiao Jie just observed the status levels of various NPCs in the Xuanxu Palace. The most common one is the Taoist boy wearing a soapy blue short robe. and a handyman in brown coarse cloth.
In addition, there is another type that should be formal Taoist priests, who usually wear moon-white Taoist robes.
Further up are the high-level Taoist priests with the suffix "real person", which are basically all these professional trainers.
Of course, the highest one must be Master Qingfeng. According to Xiao Jie's understanding, there are two hosts of this Xuanxu Palace, Master Qingfeng and Master Mingyue.
They are both real people, but their status is higher.
After waiting for ten minutes, Xiao Jie used the transformed human form again.
With a pop, this time he turned into a handyman.
This is not okay...
Come again! Another ten minutes passed - transformed into a human form!
This time he finally looked like a formal Taoist priest, wearing a moon-white robe, a Taoist crown on his head, and a long sword on his back. In one word, handsome!
Xiao Jie felt somewhat uneasy. Although the effect of the phantom spirit bead was not a spell, could not be dispelled, and was unlikely to be seen through, doing such a thing in a death game would inevitably make him a little nervous.
It's not a big problem. The game has rules. Even if you are seen through, it should be fine. As long as you don't do anything that causes hostility, there should be no problem.
Xiao Jie thought and walked towards Tongxuan Hall again.
After entering, go straight to the Taoist trainer.
"Master Xuan Ying, my disciple wants to learn Taoism, but I don't know if it is possible."
"Of course you can. This fellow Taoist, I don't know what I want to learn." Master Xuan Ying said, and a list of skills that could be learned immediately popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.

(In order to avoid the suspicion of too few words in the introduction of spells, this chapter has been published with an extra 400 words).
Xiao Jie was salivating when he saw it. If he could learn these spells and use them in reality, he would be awesome.
However, when I saw the learning conditions, I immediately sighed.
My own spirituality can allow me to learn the lowest level of spells, but I have no [Taoist] skills, let alone any contribution from my master.
"What's wrong, fellow Taoist, is there anything you want to learn? These are basic spells. If you want to learn advanced spells, you need to complete a special trial."
Is this just a basic spell? Xiao Jie felt even more envious after hearing this. Damn it, the legal profession is really fun.
Chengxian, Chengxian, I have worked hard to get you the opportunity to enter school, you must not waste it.
"No need, Taoist Master, my disciple's contribution is not enough, I'd better come here to learn from you later."
Xiao Jie looked at the other skill trainers, but did not go up to talk to them. Needless to say, they must all require prerequisite skills and contributions from their masters.
This sect's contribution should be equivalent to the internal currency of Xuanxu Palace, similar to the honor points and conquest points in World of Warcraft.
It is estimated that you need to complete the work and tasks within the division to obtain it.
I don’t know if working as a handyman if I want to become an immortal counts as a contribution.
But this is a bit troublesome. I have no chance to brush this contribution value. Doesn't that mean that all NPCs can't get the benefits? Xiao Jie frowned and looked at the screen.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no need to think about relying on the status of a disciple to get some internal benefits. Without the contribution of the master, it is probably impossible to even buy spells and elixirs.
Besides, even if you can buy it yourself, you don’t have much money.
So what if you gain favor with an NPC?
It's also unrealistic. These NPCs are all high-ranking people. They probably don't care about the rags in their bags. They can't give them away at all. After all, there are only a few NPCs like White Ape who want rare daily necessities.
Moreover, the favorability level must be raised to get rewards, so there is no need to think about it in one night.
Or start with animals? I have the talent of using animals as my teachers. The animals in this Xuanxu Palace are probably not ordinary animals. Maybe I can learn some magic abilities?
After much deliberation, this is the only way out.
Xiao Jie left Tongxuan Palace and walked towards the garden of Xuanxu Palace.
A crane playing in the lotus pond caught Xiao Jie's attention.
Beast identification!
System prompt: Recognition failed.
Um? how so?
No matter, just go ahead.
"Brother Xianhe, can we have a chat?"
The crane looked at him arrogantly and said, "You are really rude. I am the mount of Master Mingyue. I followed him to slay demons three hundred years ago. I am much older than you in terms of seniority. You are a Taoist." You are so ignorant, don’t you know how to respect your teacher?”
Xiao Jie was suddenly stunned, thinking to himself, isn't it? Even the setting of a bird is so awesome?
"Um, what about Senior Xianhe? Aren't you surprised why I said what you said?"
"Haha, it's really funny. How can you, a human, speak animal language without speaking human language?"
Human words? Only then did Xiao Jie realize that the crane was speaking human language?
He suddenly realized that this crane should be a [fairy beast]!
In the knowledge of beasts, there are special categories such as fairy beasts and monster beasts.
No wonder I couldn't get information by identifying beasts just now.
This is troublesome. Ordinary beasts can be deceived directly using bestiality. This fairy beast can speak human language and seems to be well-informed. It seems that it is not so easy to deceive.
Now he has only one last resort left.
Feed!
"Senior Xianhe, have you had dinner? I have delicious food here. Can you try it?"
Then he threw out a secret dog food - tempting the beast!
The crane didn't even look at the meatballs on the ground. It seemed that he was too lazy to be as knowledgeable as Xiao Jie. He snorted and flew away.
Seeing the crane flying away, Xiao Jie felt helpless. This Xuanxu Palace was indeed a top sect, but even the crane was so difficult to serve.
The ability to tame animals that I was so proud of was completely useless.
Is tonight's exploration trip destined to be in vain?
He was about to pick up the secret dog food and run away, when he lowered his head and found a mouse holding a meatball and gnawing wildly.
"Zhizhizhi, it's so delicious, it's so delicious, take another bite, have another bite."
Hey, there are actually rats in Xuanxu Palace?
Xiao Jie was a little surprised, but also a little surprised. This time he could finally communicate normally. He couldn't even be a mouse, right?
“Little guy? Is it delicious?”
"Little guy, hehehe, even though I'm not big, I might be older than you. Boy, how do you make these meatballs so delicious?"
Damn it, you really come up with whatever you want. This little mouse looks very cute, but when he opens his mouth, he has a smoky middle-aged voice.
"Are you a monster?"
"Monsters are nothing. If I had even a little bit of monster energy in me, those stinking Taoist priests would have discovered me and captured me to make elixirs."
"Then how did you..."
"Humph, you are getting older, and you have to grow up." The little mouse had eaten the whole meatball in the time it took to speak, but his body was still small, which was really amazing.
"If you want to get close to someone, it's useless to look for those stinky Taoist priests. Everyone in this ghost place looks down on others, and even the birds and beasts have become snobbish."
"Oh, what does Brother Rat have to say?"
"Zhizhi, for the sake of you being a meatball, I will show you a clear path to a side hall with no doors or windows near the gable wall in the east. Many Taoist priests live there. Although those Taoist priests are weird. These people are rare and easy to get along with here. The last time I went there, there were people feeding me steamed buns. I won’t say anything anymore. I have to escape first to avoid being discovered. "
As he spoke, he slipped into a crack in the ground and disappeared.
Xiao Jie had some hope in his heart. It would depend on whether he could get some benefits tonight.
He followed the mouse's guidance and walked towards the east. Sure enough, he saw a gable. He searched up and down the gable and found an inconspicuous side hall. The side hall had no windows, was surrounded by walls, and had only one door. , looks very weird.
There were two heavenly soldiers in golden armor standing at the door.
Protector Heavenly Soldier (Guard): Level 30 summoned creature. HP 1200.
Is it a treasure house?
Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel a little curious.
He tentatively walked over, but the heavenly guardians showed no intention of blocking him. Xiao Jie gritted his teeth, pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside was an empty room, with candles lit in the corners and a staircase going all the way down.
The more Xiao Jie looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. I guess this must be a dungeon, right?
