Chapter 366 Looking for the Fairy Spring
When Ding Huan thought about it, since the person he was applying for was an formation mage, he must be repairing the formation, checking for deficiencies, and preventing the fairy-stealing insects from eating the formation, or destroying the fairy spring.
What Ding Huan didn't expect was that this disciple led Ding Huan and Chang Danyi further and further away.
After walking for a full hour, we arrived at the foot of a mountain far away from the Immortal Gate. There were several temporary caves here.
"Master Bone Immortal, long time no see." A man of medium build and extremely sleek appearance walked out of the temporary cave, with a flattering tone in his tone.
The disciple who brought Ding Huan and Chang Danyi over snorted and said, "Cheng Keqi, you have been responsible for searching for the Fairy Spring for three full years. In these three years, you have not found any spring.
If you continue like this, I think you will be driven out of the Immortal Sect soon."
Only then did Ding Huan know that this smooth man was the person in charge of the Xianmen's search for the Fairy Spring. This guy hadn't found a fairy spring in three years, and he still had some tricks to stay in the Xianmen.
It's like a company hires a guy who has no skills and relies on his clever skills to stay in the company and get a salary.
Yes, this guy is obviously an Immortal Qiao. He also works in the Immortal Sect, but he humbly calls a leading disciple Immortal Master.
"I have brought two people here who are looking for the fairy spring. I will stay with you temporarily for half a year." After the Bone Immortal Master finished speaking, he pointed at Ding Huan and Chang Danyi.
Ding Huan frowned, something was wrong.
He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Fellow Bone Daoist, are you mistaken? I am a formation master. I am here to check for leaks and fill gaps in the sect's defense formation. I am not here to look for the fairy spring."
Hearing Ding Huan's words, Cheng Keqi's eyes flashed with disdain.
A guy who just came to the sect to work is actually picky.
Formation to make up for the vacancy? Can such a fat loss be your turn as an outsider who just came to the sect?
In the Immortal Sect, the most lucrative job is either planting fairy grass or filling gaps with formations.
This kind of work basically requires no brain use, just check around every once in a while.
A lot of free time can be used for practice.
Moreover, the work of checking and filling the gaps in the formation is basically done near the spring. How much more enjoyable is it to practice in a place like this?
The hardest job in the fairy sect is to find the fairy spring.
This kind of work is thankless, and monks who are unlucky or incompetent may not be able to find a fairy spring even after searching for hundreds of years.
Once you can't find the fairy spring, you will be swept away by the fairy gate.
If you are lucky and find the Fairy Spring, congratulations, you can stay there for a few more years.
As for how to use the fairy spring you found, that has nothing to do with you. Your task is to find it. Someone will use this spring.
The disciple surnamed Gu's face darkened: "Why, do you think I made the wrong assignment? If you feel you are quite capable, you can leave our Immortal Sect and find your own way out."
After saying this, he turned around and left.
In his heart, the two ants he brought today were really ignorant. After such a long journey, they didn't even show any respect, and they dared to talk back.
Of course, even giving Xiao Jing could not change Ding Huan's fate of finding the fairy spring.
When the monk named Gu left, Cheng Keqi's expression immediately changed. He glanced at Ding Huan coldly: "Come in with me and assign the task of finding the fairy spring."
"Fellow Daoist Ding, let's go in and take a look first, and we'll talk about it later." Chang Danyi was worried that Ding Huan and Cheng Keqi would get involved, so she quickly advised him.
Ding Huan knew that Chang Danyi was overthinking, and there was absolutely no way that he would lose his rank by fighting with someone like Cheng Keqi.
When he and Chang Danyi came to the cave, there were already two people here.
"My name is Cheng Keqi, and I am the person in charge of the investigation of the Fairy Spring of Baihe Immortal Way. Please introduce yourselves." Cheng Keqi looked at Ding Huan and Chang Danyi.
Ding Huan said: "My name is Ding Huan, and I am a formation master. This is Chang Danyi, my auxiliary formation disciple."
Cheng Keqi pointed at another man and said: "This is Xingbu, exploring the center of Xianling Spring."
Then he pointed at another woman and said: "This is Leng Youlin, who is also investigating the Xianling Spring.
Ding Huan, we don’t have an array master here, and we don’t have any auxiliary array disciples. You and Chang Danyi are now exploring the fairy spring, do you have any objections?"
He asked Ding Huan if he had any objections. His attitude was obviously that it was useless to have objections. I have the final say here.
Ding Huan said lightly: "I don't care."
We are all workers, and no one is superior to anyone else.
"Very good, in that case, let's divide the areas.
We were discussing regional issues before. This time we are going to explore the areas including T-shaped area, Wu-shaped area, Ji-shaped area and Geng-shaped area. I will be responsible for the T-shaped area..."
Before Cheng Keqi finished speaking, Leng Youlin said loudly: "I am in charge of the Wu-character area."
Xing Bu also said: "In that case, I will be responsible for the Jizi area."
Neither Ding Huan nor Chang Danyi spoke. It was obvious that the area in front of the immortal had more spiritual energy. Not only was it easier to find the fairy spring, but it was also more convenient to practice.
Cheng Keqi looked at Ding Huan and Chang Danyi: "Then you will be in charge of the Geng area for the time being. Here are communication beads and orientation maps, one for each person."
From Cheng Keqi's meeting to the announcement of the task, Ding Huan and Chang Danyi did not speak and had no choice.
"So let's start taking action now. Remember that we don't have much time. If we still can't find a new fairy spring in a short period of time, everyone will have to leave. Do you understand?"
Cheng Keqi's words contained some threats, but Ding Huan still didn't care.
Even if they were to be expelled, he and Chang Danyi could not be expelled for the time being.
Everyone has no performance, and he and Chang Danyi are still in the probation period, so they must fire the ones who come first?
After walking out of the cave with Ding Huan, Chang Danyi said worriedly: "Fellow Daoist Ding, I guess Cheng Keqi has been here for a short time, so he is anxious to find the spring of Xianling Spring as quickly as possible.
But I heard that there are techniques and methods for finding fairy springs. This guy didn’t tell us anything, so how can we find them?"
Ding Huan chuckled: "Don't worry about him, let's go look for him first. Even if they are expelled, they should leave first. Now that we have arrived in the fairyland, I don't believe we can still starve to death."
"Okay." Although Chang Danyi said yes, she was actually very uneasy in her heart.
Ding Huan's formation level is strong, but this has nothing to do with finding the fairy spring.
The place where they were looking for the Fairy Spring was already remote, and the Gengzi District was further away. Ding Huan and Chang Danyi walked for nearly an hour before they arrived at the edge of the Gengzi District.
"There is such a lack of immortal spiritual energy here that even if you practice here, you probably won't be able to make much progress." Chang Danyi felt that the immortal spiritual energy in the Geng area was not strong, so she said a little uneasily.
Ding Huan also felt that if when they first entered the sect, the fairy spiritual energy could still provide them with the ability to cultivate to the next level, the fairy spiritual energy here was relatively poor.
For Ding Huan, he can indeed set up a spirit gathering array.
But he knew without asking that the Immortal Sect would not allow it to be arranged here.
The Immortal Sect recruits them to find the Immortal Spiritual Energy for the Immortal Sect, but they are not allowed to come in to consume the Immortal Spiritual Energy.
Therefore, they can practice in secret, but they cannot set up the spirit gathering array to practice openly.
"Ding Huan, my idea is that we have just arrived here and are not familiar with finding the fairy spring. It would be a waste of time to continue. It is better to find a place alone and practice for half a year."
Chang Danyi spoke out what was in her heart, and she understood that this was the best choice for them.
Ding Huan waved his hand: "No rush, let's keep walking until we get to the edge of the Geng District."
Chang Danyi said hurriedly: "Ding Huan, where we are, the immortal spiritual energy is scarce enough. If we reach the edge of the Geng District, we may not even be able to practice."
Ding Huan smiled: "Fellow Taoist Chang, how much progress can we make even if we practice here? In this case, we might as well go to the edge of Gengzi District."
"Yes." Chang Danyi nodded.
The two continued to move forward, and after walking for another half an hour, they arrived at an even more desolate Gobi Desert.
This place is still within the scope of Baihe Immortal Sect, but the Immortal Spiritual Energy...
How can I put it, it is indeed much more powerful than the fairy spiritual energy in the void.
But there is almost no fairy spiritual energy in the void.
It is very difficult to practice cultivation in this place.
"I still have some spiritual veins in my body. I plan to stay in seclusion here for a while. There is still some immortal spiritual energy here. When I am kicked out of the immortal gate, at least my cultivation level can be maintained."
Chang Danyi had never thought about looking for the fairy spring. She knew she couldn't find it either.
The Fairy Spring is so easy to find, so it’s not Chang Danyi’s turn.
Ding Huan agreed with Chang Danyi's approach: "Okay, I will set up two caves here first, and after you go in to practice, I will try my luck."
Chang Danyi began to practice in the cave arranged by Ding Huan, and Ding Huan really tried his luck alone.
Chang Danyi was also helpless that Ding Huan did not practice but went to find the fairy spring. She could not persuade Ding Huan, so she had to practice first.
