The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1327: Ling Fengs Choice

Early the next morning, Fang Wen prepared several simple breakfast dishes for Ling Feng. The ingredients were limited and came from what she had brought with her, yet the food was surprisingly delicious.

After eating the meal Fang Wen personally cooked, Ling Feng felt genuine relief for the first time about his decision to take her in as an attendant.

This woman truly had real skill.

For martial practitioners at their level, eating ordinary food was no longer necessary, but good food was still a pleasure.

"The ingredients were not very fresh, so this is all I could manage. Once I am more familiar with the outer sect, I should be able to find the outer sect trading market."

Fang Wen looked at Ling Feng with visible nervousness. Cooking was the only ability she could rely on.

"Mhmm, not bad."

Ling Feng nodded with a smile. Only then did Fang Wen finally relax. At the very least, she had proven her worth.

After breakfast, the sound of drums echoed outside. It was the signal calling the new disciples to assemble.

Feng Ling arrived in the Earth Realm early. She was the one who had guided this batch of new disciples into the sect, so the task of assigning their daily duties naturally fell to her.

Once the assignments were completed, she would no longer need to run back and forth between the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Realm.

Of course, completing this task also earned her considerable sect rewards. Otherwise, inner sect disciples like her would not repeatedly waste time coming down here.

"All new disciples, get up. Starting today, you will be assigned daily tasks. From now on, you must complete your daily tasks before you are allowed to cultivate!"

Under Feng Ling's call, the new disciples slowly emerged from their straw huts.

Most of them looked haggard. The harsh environment, combined with the repeated disturbances during the night, meant that almost no one had rested well.

Feng Ling instinctively glanced toward the straw hut where Ling Feng was supposed to be staying. This slightly unusual newcomer made her curious. She wondered what kind of daily task he would choose and whether she should find a chance to make things difficult for him and blunt his arrogance.

However, no matter how long she looked, Ling Feng did not come out of the straw hut.

"What is this brat up to?"

Feng Ling frowned and struck the door of Ling Feng's straw hut with her palm. The door flew open. She swept her gaze inside, yet there was no sign of Ling Feng.

"Hm?"

Feng Ling froze. He was not there.

"Hey, Senior Sister Feng Ling, are you looking for me?"

Ling Feng's voice suddenly came from behind her.

Feng Ling turned around and saw Ling Feng appear from nowhere, smiling at her. A gentle looking woman followed closely behind him, never leaving his side.

The surrounding new disciples stared at Ling Feng with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and resentment. It was almost written plainly on their faces.

Ling Feng had walked out of the Mingjian Tower together with Fang Wen. Although Ling Feng himself felt no guilt, it was impossible to stop others from drawing their own conclusions.

On his very first day, he not only seized an earth tier Mingjian Tower, but also took in the most beautiful female disciple among the new outer sect disciples. Isn't it a little too good?

"Hmph!"

Feng Ling shot Ling Feng a glare. "Where did you crawl out from?"

Ling Feng pointed calmly toward the row of Mingjian Towers on the slope and said, "I got lucky last night and defeated the lord of the two hundredth Mingjian Tower, so I moved in."

The corner of Feng Ling's eye twitched slightly. Defeating a tower lord on the first day meant this brat was even stronger than she had imagined!

No wonder he was so arrogant!

"Hmph!"

Feng Ling snorted lightly. "It is only the two hundredth rank. That is nothing special. Even if you live in an earth-tier Mingjian Tower, you still have to do your daily tasks."

Ling Feng smiled faintly and nodded in agreement.

Feng Ling glared at him, frowned slightly, and spoke slowly. "Today I will assign your daily tasks. You may choose to fertilize and catch insects in the medicinal herb garden. You may choose to tend spirit pet in the spirit animal garden. You may also assist in the alchemy room or help carve inscriptions in the runes hall. In addition, you may choose to mine spirit stone veins."

"Among these tasks, mining is the most exhausting, but it also offers higher rewards. The compensation is about thirty percent higher than the others. Now you may make your choices."

The disciples immediately began choosing amid noisy chatter.

Most chose the medicinal herb garden or the spirit animal garden. These tasks required no special skills. The alchemy room and the runes hall required knowledge of alchemy or arrays. Without that ability, it was impossible to complete the tasks.

Failing to complete tasks meant reduced cultivation resources, or even being thrown into the Black Abyss.

Fang Wen hesitated and glanced at Ling Feng. Ling Feng told her to choose freely and not consider him. Only then did she bite her lip and choose to catch insects in the medicinal herb garden.

"Hey, Ling Feng, what are you choosing?"

Seeing that Ling Feng still had not made a choice, Feng Ling reminded him. "Each hall has limited spots. If you do not choose soon, I will assign one for you."

Ling Feng smiled faintly. "Then I will go help in the alchemy room."

"The alchemy room?"

Several veteran disciples watching nearby could not help but laugh quietly.

This brat really did not know how to spell the word death!

Among all daily tasks, the alchemy room was the least popular. It was a bottomless pit that consumed enormous amounts of energy every day. By the time one returned to rest, there was barely any strength left to cultivate.

Disciples who chose the alchemy room usually failed to survive the first year's assessment. They either became menial servants or packed up and left.

In the outer sect of Dongling Immortal Pool, there was a saying that the alchemy room never changed, but the disciples flowed away endlessly. Once you entered the alchemy room, you might as well prepare to leave!

In comparison, mining was preferable. Though physically demanding, they could earn more cultivation resources and still had a chance to make something of themselves.

"The alchemy room?"

Feng Ling laughed inwardly. "You chose this yourself."

"Yes, I chose it."

Ling Feng shrugged. With his level of alchemy, the alchemy room was a nightmare for ordinary disciples, but for him, it was an excellent place.

"Hehe."

Feng Ling smiled lightly. After everyone had made their choices, she raised her voice. "Next, I will have several inner sect senior brothers and senior sisters lead you to your task locations. You few, come with me!"

She crooked her finger at Ling Feng, clearly intending to personally take him and the others to the alchemy room.

In the end, only three people chose the alchemy room. Besides Ling Feng, the other two were assigned there to fill empty slots. Both wore miserable expressions. It was clear they had already heard about the alchemy room and knew how terrifying it was.

Only Ling Feng stood with his arms crossed, his expression calm and relaxed, forming a stark contrast with the two beside him.

Hmph! Brat, enjoy your arrogance while you still can. Let's see if you can still smile once you reach the alchemy room!

Feng Ling secretly laughed to herself. This time, she would make sure he learned exactly how cruel reality could be.
