Xu Bo looked at Jiang Chen's cave at this time, stroked the long beard under his jaw and said, "This is a long story. Why don't we go into your cave and talk about it!"

Jiang Chen woke up and quickly opened the cave door, invited Xu Bo into his room to sit down, and presented a cup of tea.

After Xu Bo picked up the teacup and drank it lightly, Fang said: "The places where the new outer disciples are trialed are generally divided into three categories. The first category is the branch of the major cities stationed in Han Dynasty, serving as guards. This work is relatively leisurely and safer, and it is considered the easiest place to try. However, it is almost helpless in improving the strength of the monks. The only benefit is that they can make more friends in the city they are in."

Jiang Chen thought to himself that although it was easy to do escort work, he had to patrol the city streets every day, and he had almost no time to practice and refine alchemy. Although he was safe, he could make friends with other monks, but it was not his favorite job. He had already eliminated the first type of trial place in his mind.

"The second type of trial is more dangerous. The places where the stations are mines, spiritual herbs, spiritual beast gardens, etc. where battles, thefts and attacks often occur. Because there are many spirit stones, spiritual medicines, spiritual beasts and other objects that are very jealous of monks, there are often desperate people coming to steal and rob, and the monks guarding here often suffer from casualties." Xu Bo said calmly at this time.

Jiang Chen felt a little nervous when he heard this, thinking that he was afraid that the outer disciples generally would not want to go to such a place.

"However, there is a benefit if there is risks! The sect will definitely reward disciples who are stationed in such dangerous places!"

Xu Bo saw what Jiang Chen was thinking, and then chuckled and said, "Overall outer disciples only distribute two spirit stones a month, but if the disciples guarding in such places have different dangers depending on where they are located, ranging from five to fifty yuan. And if they kill the incoming enemies, they will also receive additional rewards for military merit! If they make great contributions during punitive control, they will be given priority to participate in the sect exam in the future, and they will also consider the issuance of Foundation Building Pills!"

"Sector test?" This was the first time Jiang Chen heard this term. It seemed that he had never heard of it much before.

"Well! If the test is for registered disciples, the test is organized by each peak. Then the test is for the entire sect, organized by the Presbyterian Church of the Sect. The test is held every ten years, which is related to the issuance of Foundation Establishment Pills and the ranking of seats of each peak, so the ancestors of each peak attach great importance to it!"

After taking a sip of tea, Xu Bo said, "The next big sect exam will be held in three years. If your cultivation level at that time can reach the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, you can also take the big sect! If you can achieve good results in the big sect, you can get the Foundation Building Pill!"

When Jiang Chen heard the three words "Founding Pill", he became very interested and quickly asked about the details of the big test.

But Xu Bo was unwilling to disclose the situation of the big test at this time, but just asked him to practice hard. In three years, he really reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Period. The Deacon Hall would naturally send someone to inform him of the big test. Now, asking more about the big test can only distract himself from practicing.

The topic soon returned to the trial. Jiang Chen asked again: "Uncle Xu, what is the third type of trial mission?"

"The third type of trial is to perform certain tasks. As long as the task is completed, even if the trial is over, the rest of the time can be arranged freely. You can stay in the sect and practice intently, or you can go out to travel around and listen to the emperor! Of course, you must return to the sect in three years. After all, the sect is now in trouble and is short of manpower." Xu Bo said with sincerity.

"Then... what tasks are there in the third type of trial?" Jiang Chen asked curiously. After all, after completing the task, the rest of the time can be arranged freely, which is very attractive to him.

"Haha, I knew you would be interested in the third type of trial. Because any disciple wants to choose the third type of trial after listening to these three types of trials."

Xu Bo smiled slightly and said, "But after seeing the tasks that need to be completed in the third type of trial, they finally chose the first and second types of tasks!"

After saying that, Xu Bo took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"This is the third type of trial task, you can take a look!" Xu Bo said lightly with a calm expression.

Jiang Chen took the jade slip with suspicion and then penetrated his spiritual sense into it...

After reading the content, he immediately sighed. The tasks in this jade slip were too difficult. Not to mention that he could not complete it, even if he changed to a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be difficult to complete it.

For example, there is a task that allows disciples to go to the Demon Valley to catch a ghost-level ghost soul.

Just kidding, the ghost general-level ghost is equivalent to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. A cultivator who has just become an outer disciple has the strongest strength like Luo Jingwen and others. It is only the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. It would be strange if you don’t immediately become a ghost.

Another mission is to infiltrate the Blood Shadow Sect, which is hostile to the Heavenly Demon Sect, and spy on intelligence.

Seeing this mission, Jiang Chen was even more speechless. Based on his experience, he might only be able to get in as a casual cultivator.

However, this mission is even more dangerous. If someone discovers it, a disciple who is a foundation-building stage can kill his life. As far as he knows, the Tianmo Sect has executed many disciples suspected of spies in recent years.

As for other tasks, they are also very rare. For example, the alchemy he always thought he was good at was not useful. Although there are alchemy tasks in these tasks, it requires the refining of foundation-building pills, and the materials are provided by themselves.

Just kidding, if a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage can find materials to refine the foundation-building pill by himself, then why are he still staring at the big test? Wouldn’t he have successfully built the foundation secretly and applied to become an inner disciple?

Jiang Chen had no choice but to return the jade slip to Xu Bo, looking frowning.

Xu Bo had long expected this to be the result. He knew very well that these tasks were purely listed by the sects to make things difficult for those disciples who were uneasy to guard.

"Jiang Chen, you don't have to panic. In fact, your senior brother Bu Zheng and I have discussed this trial. We believe that under the current circumstances, going to Qingmu Mountain is the best choice!" Xu Bo picked up the teacup on the table and took another sip.

"Qingmu Mountain? Is the newly discovered spirit stone mine where Uncle Xiao went?" Jiang Chen remembered that he seemed to have heard of the name of this place.

"Yes! That's the front line that confronts the Blood Shadow Sect. Half of the mines here are controlled by our sect and half are controlled by the Blood Shadow Sect. Both sides are in a tense posture, which looks like the most dangerous place on the surface!" Xu Bo said with a sip of tea.

Jiang Chen did not answer the conversation, and he knew that Xu Bo would naturally continue to say something.

"Since we and the Blood Shadow Sect gathered a lot of cultivators there, neither side dared to act rashly, because once the fight was fought, it might lead to a full-scale war between the two sects. That was not a joke. After all, neither we nor the Blood Shadow Sect were ready to start a full war!" Xu Bo said patiently.

After pausing, he continued, "Because of this, as long as you stay in the mine where you are guarding, there is generally no danger. The Blood Shadow Sect may attack and kill the monks who are patrolling Qingmu Mountain, but they will never attack the mine! Therefore, it is very dangerous to guard Qingmu Mountain on the surface, but it is actually safer, at least it is much better than those places where monsters often attack or bandits rampant!"

"Also, Qingmu Mountain has the highest subsidy. The outer disciples have to send fifty spirit stones a month. If you stay in for a year, there will be accumulating 100 points of military achievements. If your mission is to guard the mine, you can stay in the mine every day. As long as there is no enemy attack, you can arrange your time freely and just ask for no exit from the mine. If you want to refine alchemy or meditate and practice, no one will care about you!"

Xu Bo smiled slightly at this time and said, "How is it? This place is not bad, right?"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded. If this is the case, it would be a good place to go. However, he still wondered, "Will I arrange for me to patrol after I go? If it is a patrol, it would be dangerous!"

"Well, if it's a patrol, it's a very dangerous errand, but you can rest assured, because Senior Brother Xiao is there, who is responsible for arranging disciples' tasks. How could he let people from our sect do dangerous errands like patrol? So you're relieved!" Xu Bo gently stroked the long beard under his jaw and said.

Now Jiang Chen had no doubts anymore and bowed and said, "That kid has all been followed by Master Xu's arrangement!"

Xu Bo smiled slightly, then stood up and said, "In three days, you ten newly promoted outer disciples will rush to the destination of the trial. If there is no major accident, half of the ten disciples will probably go to Qingmu Mountain. You should prepare well, it is best to buy some good talismans, magic weapons and other things to defend yourself. Although there should be no major danger, you should be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship after all!"

Jiang Chen hurriedly thanked him and sent Xu Bo out of the cave.

Looking at Xu Bo's distant back, Jiang Chen also felt that he should prepare. He also knew that Qingmu Mountain was in the southeastern part of the central and southern part of the Han Dynasty, the highest mountain in the Han Dynasty, and the dividing line between the Tianmo Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect. Both sides gathered a large number of monks here, and the atmosphere was very tense.

He picked up the spirit stone bag that Xu Bo had just brought for him, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome face, and said to himself: "I have some money now, so it's time to buy some better things!"
