Chapter 27 - The Truth Behind The Novices' Quarter



The garden within the sect is certainly not an ordinary garden, and the plants that were planted were various heaven and earth material plants.

He is in need of various heaven and earth material plants to plant in his private garden.

And such a place was the perfect stage for Qin Yi.

He naturally did not want to miss such a mission.

Gao Peng thought that Qin Yi was happy that the mission was not dangerous, so he smiled too and said: "I can take you there now and help you choose a mission that suits your current situation. What do you think?"

Qin Yi was perplexed hearing his offer, and he couldn\'t help but ask: "How about here? Don\'t you intend to catch a fish in muddy water?"

Gao Peng\'s face changed as he immediately covered Qin Yi\'s mouth with his hand. He said anxiously, "What a fishing a fish in muddy water? I just wanna take a chance at the chance, okay?"

Qin Yi rolled his eyes and thought, what\'s the difference?

Without waiting for Qin Yi\'s response, Gao Peng immediately dragged Qin Yi away with him.

"Let\'s go to the Mission Hall now. As for here, forget it, it\'s probably not my fate. It\'s no good longing for something that should not belong to me."

Qin Yi secretly looked at Gao Peng with admiration as he praised him.

\'As expected from people I socialize with!\'

"I never thought that Brother Gao had this kind of side."

Afterwards, he imitated Gao Peng\'s words with the same voice and tone while being dragged on, "Forget it, it\'s probably not my fate. It\'s no good longing for something that should not belong to me."

Gao Peng flushed in embarrassment, "Shut up!"

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Mission Hall.

The Mission Hall was located not far from the sect\'s exit gate.

Disciples who come and go regularly stop by the Mission Hall to receive or report something related to their mission.

Although not as crowded as the martial arts ground, this place was still one of the places in the outer sect that disciples visited the most.

In front of the Mission Hall\'s courtyard is a wide wooden plank with lots of colorful papers displayed.

Qin Yi found it interesting and couldn\'t help but ask Gao Peng curiously, "Brother Gao, do the colors of the paper have any meaning?"

"There is." Gao Peng nodded and explained, "There are five colors of paper posted on the Mission Hall board, which are: Green, Yellow, Red, Purple, and Black."

"Each color of paper indicates the level of danger of each mission. Green means "Safe". The missions are written on the green paper usually contain relatively simple tasks and are located within a sect or its surroundings."

"This kind of mission is highly recommended for beginners like you."

After saying this, Gao Peng picked up a green colored paper and handed it to Qin Yi.

"Read this!"

Qin Yi accepted it and read it out loud, "Mission: Cleaning the martial arts ground. Requirements: 10-20 people. Reward: 5 merit points for each."

"And… this," Gao Peng plucked another one and perplexed, "Wow, it\'s rare these kinds of the mission has not been picked up at this hour. They\'re usually the quickest to pick up. Lucky you, Brother Qin!"

"Mission: Chop 500 logs and hand them over to Elder Ji. Requirements: 1-5 people. Reward: 5 merit points for each."

Gao Peng showed Qin Yi five more missions, and they were relatively safe and easy jobs with low rewards.

Qin Yi read them one by one.

However, the more he read them, the more he wrinkled his forehead because he was very familiar with these jobs.

"These missions... Brother Gao, I think I\'ve been doing this kind of job in my two and a half years in the Novices\' Quarter. Although I never cleaned essential sites like the martial arts ground, etc., I did chores like washing, chopping wood, sweeping, and so on. But how come I never got any merit points?"

What\'s more, he did it every single day for two and a half years.

If he was rewarded, how many merit points did he currently accumulate?

However, he did not receive any merit points, and he did not even receive a Merit Card.

Isn\'t this unfair?

No, wait- living in the Novices\' Quarter was unfair in the first place.

It\'s too late to say that.

Gao Peng paused for a moment before saying, "I heard about the work of novice disciples in the Novices\' Quarter, but I don\'t know the details. However, I heard that the Novices\' Quarter is originally known as the Charity Camp."

"Charity Camp?"

Qin Yi was blurted and was shocked by what he just heard from Gao Peng\'s mouth.

"What does that mean? This is the first time I\'ve heard this."

"Hey, calm down, Brother Qin, don\'t get excited!" Gao Peng\'s forehead was sweating a little.

He coughed lightly and explained patiently, "As Brother Qin has heard, the Charity Camp is a place where the sect gives a little kindness to people of low-grade aptitude, and each one of the novice disciples is inexplicably related to the official of the sect\'s disciples."

"You must remember that the Sleeping Dragon Sect is one of the Great Sects in the Azure Dragon Region, and naturally, the requirements for entry into the sect are very demanding. They only accept people of medium-grade aptitude, whereas people of low-grade aptitude will not be accepted."

However, there are always exceptions in everything. Sect disciples don\'t stay in the sect forever; some choose to leave the sect after realizing they can\'t progress any further and their lifespan is limited. They will only return when they receive a call from the sect and asks for their assistance."

"Outside that possibility, they decide to live in quiet and seclude place, or form a family, or travel around the world in search of opportunities. During that period, they will inevitably meet and relate to many people."

Having talked at length, Gao Peng finally caught his breath for a moment. Then he continues,

"Those novice disciples are the result of relationships between disciples who left the sect. Even after a long time has passed, the sect still has kindness towards those disciples who have done great service to the sect. Therefore, the sect is willing to accept people they recommend even if they have a low aptitude."

"Hence, some people say that the Novices\' Quarter is the Charity Camp because it is a place where the sect puts a kindness on those who also receive favors from former sect disciples."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Brother Gao for explaining it at length." Qin Yi cupped his hands with respect.

It seemed he had assumed wrong all along.

Life in the Novices\' Quarter wasn\'t really unfair. In fact, they were given special privileges by the sect.

He should be thankful for this.

Besides, he had never received any ill-treatment there.

Therefore, he shouldn\'t have said it wasn\'t fair.

By the way, this person helped him a lot even though the two of them had only met twice.

Qin Yi felt like he didn\'t know how to repay him.

Should I stop performing the extraction on him from today? Qin Yi considered it reluctantly.

"Don\'t mention it." Ga Peng smiled with a smile, "As long as you stay in the sect for a long time, sooner or later you will find out either from my mouth or from another disciple\'s."

Qin Yi nodded, but suddenly he remembered something off, "That\'s not right- Brother Gao, you said only low-grade aptitude disciples in the Novices\' Quarter, but why are there some disciples with medium-grade aptitude?"

He was, of course, talking about Shangguan Yue, Lin Tian, and Zhou Li.

Gao Peng thought for a moment, then replied: "They are probably the same as other novice disciples. It\'s just that in their case, they should be able to enter the outer sect directly. However, they seem to either have missed or failed in the Triennial Entrance Test of the Sleeping Dragon Sect..."

"Sleeping Dragon Sect has strict rules when it comes to accepting new students. Once you are late, the sect will not accept you for any reason. Only those with recommendations will at least be treated in the Novices\' Quarter."

So that\'s it, Qin Yi finally understood everything.

He never spoke with those three talented appropriately. It was no wonder that he didn\'t know the circumstances and conditions of their entry into the Novices\' Quarter.
