CHAPTER 634: DISCUSS 634

Tan Shaoting laughed, "This is the safest place.

I guess they just want to know what exactly is on the tenth floor.

I think they want to learn something from me, so we are safe now."

"Dad. The legacy I’ve received tells me this is the abandoned continent, and in the future, the spiritual energy here will decrease, turning it into a true mortal world."

Qi Hong and Qi Wen both nodded.

"Is there any way to solve it?"

The three children all shook their heads, "Dad, the last sentence just said Seven Stars Linked, Blood of the Otherworld."

Tan Shaoting frowned. The words literally mean it needs blood from the Otherworld, but what does Seven Stars Linked mean?

He suddenly thought of the six colorful stones in his hand. They were only missing the purple stone. Could this be the Seven Stars?

Although he thought this in his heart, he didn’t tell the children. Mainly because they were still too young, and knowing nothing might actually be the best.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. For now, let’s stop cultivating for a while. Mainly get familiar with the sect, and you are about to reach the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, so it’s better to go outside the sect for now.

We’ll advance in a while, there’s no rush now.

As for any tasks, you decide for yourselves." Tan Shaoting trusted the children.

They didn’t cultivate at night, the father and three sons slept together.

Tan Shaoting was not sleepy at all, his mind was filled with Su Yuanyuan.

Why would his wife be like this? That day should be July 15, a year later, right? With his wife’s persistent nature, she would definitely not give up.

Now that the whole family knows each other’s situation, it’s much better than knowing nothing. Although it takes time to wait, at least they know that the other is still alive.

And there’s the man beside his wife. In fact, Tan Shaoting knows that his wife is so excellent that when something happened to him and the children, many people would pay attention to her.

But he is extremely confident. Even if his wife doesn’t have any news of the four of them, she would never accept someone else.

This inexplicable trust is the tacit understanding between them as husband and wife.

But still, he felt uncomfortable. A normal man wouldn’t be happy seeing another man beside his wife.

On the second day, the father and three sons went directly to the canteen.

In this way, they could understand the situation here more quickly.

The three of them had eaten in a canteen before. But it wasn’t comparable to here.

Even though Shushan Sect has now fallen to a Second-level Sect, its foundation is still there. Just the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples alone number more than fifty thousand.

So the canteen is very grand, that’s truly a sea of people.

The father and three sons took their free breakfast and found a place to sit.

"Dad, it’s so bad," Qi Yan said disdainfully.

Among the three children, only Qi Wen ate with relish. This girl had always eaten like this since she was young. Watching her eat inspires the desire to eat. Qi Yan is actually the pickiest eater.

"Big brother, I think it’s okay. Actually, this is quite good. Dad doesn’t have to cook for us," Qi Wen said with a smile.

Qi Hong also nodded, he didn’t think it was very tasty, but it wasn’t bad either.

Tan Shaoting didn’t participate in this matter.

Qi Yan just ate the spirit rice reluctantly.

After a while, they were attracted by the conversation at the table next to them.

All five of them were cultivators at the third level of Qi Cultivation.

"I heard that Spirit Plant Peak is recruiting apprentices this time, specifically for taking care of spirit plants, and you can live there.

I want to go; the spiritual energy there is much better than what we have at the Outer Peak. If I could cultivate there, I would definitely advance to the fourth level," Cultivator A said dreamily.

"You think you’re dreaming! Every apprentice takes care of three acres of spirit plants. There’s barely any time to cultivate," Cultivator B immediately retorted.

"Can’t I just think about it?"

"To get into Spirit Plant Peak, you need to take an exam. They say the exam content is from the Spirit Plant Encyclopedia. How much have you read?"

Cultivator A’s face immediately fell, "When do I have time to read, with endless tasks and cultivation to do? I’ve never read it."

"Then you definitely won’t get in. Spirit Plant Peak exams are particularly strict."

All of them sighed. They were almost twenty years old and still at the third level of Qi Cultivation. Although their Spirit Roots were somewhat lacking, the main problem was the lack of cultivation resources. And they had no time.

Qi Hong was a little excited. "Dad, I want to take the exam. I want to go to Spirit Plant Peak to take care of spirit plants."

Of course, Tan Shaoting would have no objection. "Alright, let’s go to the Task Hall to ask later.

What about you two? Any thoughts?"

Qi Yan shook his head, "Dad, I’m not going, I’m not interested. I’ll go choose later."

Qi Wen nodded, "Dad, I’ll go with second brother. We’ll have company, and you can stay outside with big brother."

The father and three sons finished eating and went directly to the Task Hall. There were twenty task handling windows here.

In addition, the Task Hall had many task signs hanging, and of course, Spirit Plant Peak’s recruitment of apprentices was among them.

Qi Hong excitedly finished reading the introduction and understood how to sign up.

"Dad, being an apprentice at Spirit Plant Peak means we don’t have to do tasks; we just take care of the spirit plants."

Tan Shaoting also read it over. This was indeed suitable for Qi Hong.

"Alright, after taking the task, first go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose cultivation techniques and magic, then we’ll accompany you two to the exam."

Newly joined cultivators of Shushan Sect receive this one-time benefit.

Qi Yan took a liking to the Sword Boy task at Sword One Peak. This task lasted a year and mainly involved handling odd jobs at Sword One Peak, which meant serving tea and water to the cultivators there. But one good thing was that he could watch when they practiced swordsmanship.

"Dad, I want to be a Sword Boy. The points I earn in a year can cover two years."

Tan Shaoting knew that being a Sword Boy wasn’t easy. He had Sword Boys around him before. But without letting the child truly feel it, he wouldn’t know the harshness of the world outside, so he nodded in agreement.

Tan Shaoting looked at some tasks. Actually, the outside tasks were quite good, but now he didn’t want to look for treasures or rapidly advance. He just wanted to find any news about time-space tunnels.

If he directly took a Scripture Pavilion task, it would be too obvious. After all, he was a loose cultivator, and others would be on guard against him.

But the other internal tasks really weren’t suitable for him; they could all be completed by low-level cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist, you are at the tenth level of Qi Cultivation. There is a task to hunt demon beasts in the Mortal World. This task offers high points. Take a look; this team still needs five people."

Tan Shaoting read the introduction and thought for a while, "Alright, I’ll take this task."

"Okay, I’ll register you. And I’ll inform the team leader."
