Chapter 105: The Sinking Cave

underworldQin Sang was incredibly confused. He looked down and was startled. His body had shrunk to the size of a palm, becoming transparent with a faint blue glow. There was also a slightly yellowis...After Sun De left, Qin Sang looked at Zhuang with suspicion, "Brother Zhuang, what are the several pits that Brother Sun was talking about"

The solemn elder sighed softly and shook his head. "Junior Brother Qin, the chores within our sect are indeed some tedious and some light, but overall they are fairly distributed. Heavy chores come with higher monthly pay, and there's a chance for unexpected opportunities, but they consume cultivation time, so many senior brothers are reluctant to choose them. However, these chores must be done by someone. Senior Brother is also in a difficult position, he can only forcefully assign them to newly entered junior brothers and sisters, which has earned him quite a bit of criticism. I get along well with Junior Brother Qin. In a while, I'll give you a list for you to choose from. Once you choose, you cannot go back on your word and must complete it for five years, unless Junior Brother Qin breaks through the Foundation Establishment stage. What do you think"

Qin Sang knew that Master Zhuang had already made concessions to this point, and any further insistence would be shameless. He gratefully said, "Thank you, Master Zhuang."

As they walked and talked, Qin Sang also learned that Shaohua Mountain's chores weren't just within the sect, but many were located elsewhere as well.

For example, the surrounding markets of the mountain gate are all overseen by cultivators from Shaohua Mountain. This keeps those unruly wandering cultivators in line. This kind of menial work is very lucrative. Zhuang Yan directly told Qin Sangming that it would never be his turn unless he could curry favor with a certain master uncle.

There are also, under the jurisdiction of Mount Shaohua, large and small mortal countries. Some are governed by immortal cultivating families affiliated with Mount Shaohua, while others require Mount Shaohua to dispatch people to monitor them.

The primary purpose is to prevent wandering cultivators from causing chaos and to restrain demons, fiends, and deviant cultivators from wreaking havoc among mortals. Interfering in mundane affairs or revealing oneself publicly should be strictly avoided, otherwise, severe punishment awaits.

Qin Sang pondered carefully and decided to choose as many odd jobs outside the mountain gate as possible.

While searching for the Song family in several markets and bazaars, he also inquired about places where Yin Sha Qi might be present, noting down a few locations in remote mountains and wilderness areas that he hadn't yet had time to verify.

As long as he has the Soul Dan, his cultivation speed will not be slower than others, and it might even be more convenient outside. Perhaps the spiritual energy is not as rich as Mount Shaohua, but the impact is not significant.

Back in the wooden hall, Zhuang Yan took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Sang. Qin Sang glanced at it with his divine sense and knew why no one had volunteered for those chores.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The first one is a medicine boy who goes to Jiuding Peak to refine medicine. The jade slip says that the heavenly flowers are dazzling, listing many senior brothers and sisters who were favored and accepted as disciples, taught the art of alchemy, and became masters of alchemy. However, it glosses over the shortcomings—they must take care of the alchemy furnace's ground fire for at least six hours every day.

Qin Sang skimmed over the miscellaneous tasks within his sect, directly flipping to the back. One by one, he found a pit guard post.

It was said that the Earth-Sinking Cave was bottomless, and the entire cave was filled with sinister Qi. Shaohua Mountain had set up a ban within the Earth-Sinking Cave to seal it off, requiring disciples to guard it constantly. Once there were any changes, they were to immediately report to their sect to prevent the sinister Qi from leaking out and causing widespread devastation.

Qin Sang was quite surprised. Letting Shao Huashan be so cautious, could the Yin Qi in the Diteng Cave be more than that of the Yin Sha淵 He retracted his divine sense and asked Zhuang Yan, "Senior Brother Zhuang, is there still a vacancy for taking care of the Diteng Cave"

He looked at him with a solemn and strange expression, "You chose this"

Upon seeing Qin Sang nod, Zhuang Yan suddenly clapped his hands with delight and said, "Good! After the earth sinks, I'll leave it to Junior Brother Qin. I'll change your waist token for you right now."

Qin Sang handed over the waist token and questioned with a dark face, "Master Zhuang, can you tell me the truth now Is the sunken pit one of the major pits"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Zhuangren seemed to have shed a heavy burden, his whole body relaxed, and he smiled: “The Earth Depression Hole is indeed one of the widely recognized major pitfalls. Because the changes inside the Earth Depression Hole are unpredictable, they are invisible outside the barrier. Therefore, the dwelling was set up in the Earth Depression Hole, never seeing sunlight for years, cold and piercing to the bone. People with unstable minds can't stand it. But if you, younger brother, can endure loneliness, it would be one of the best places for a handyman.”

Qin Sang nodded slightly, but inwardly thought to himself, among cultivators, there was certainly no shortage of people who could endure loneliness. There must be some untruths in what Senior Brother Zhuang said.

But he is short of Yin-Sha Qi. As long as it's not life-threatening, he can endure anything.

The two immediately settled on a common laborer, and Zhuang Yan took Qin Sang to the Dharma Hall. The uncle who was giving the lecture was already there. Since Qin Sang had just entered the sect, he didn't have to pay spirit stones for the next month, so he sneaked in and listened.

Qin Sang was immediately captivated. This master uncle was indeed well-renowned. His mastery of incantations was extraordinary, particularly his Five Elements incantations. Even a casual remark from him greatly inspired Qin Sang, who realized how far he lagged behind in martial arts.

Before, Qin Sang had many things he didn't understand. After an hour, he benefited greatly and felt a sense of wonder in his heart. Just from this alone, loose cultivators and disciples from sects were incomparable.

He now understood, roughly, why others were reluctant to go into the sunken pits.

The location of the sunken earth is very remote, and it's necessary to guard it there year-round. I wonder how many opportunities to listen to my uncles' teachings I've missed.

As the lecture ended, all the disciples rose to see their master off. Qin Sang could still stay in Shaohua Mountain for a month, just stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth layer. He decided not to rush to Dichen Cave and listen more, so that he could avoid detours in the future.

“What kind of menial task did Qin's younger brother choose”

As the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, Qin Sang heard Sun De's voice behind him. Turning around, he said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Sun. Master Zhuang asked me to guard the sunken well."

Sun De said to Zhuang Yan, "I've been fooled by you again."

Zhuang Yan said proudly, "You can't blame me for this; it was Qin, your younger brother, who chose it himself."

Sun was stunned, and looked at Qin Sang, "Going to the Di Chen Cave isn't a big deal, at most we'll be stuck there for five years before emerging. Junior Brother Qin, when do you decide to leave Let's travel together."

Zhuangyan turned to Qin Sang and explained, "Sun Senior Brother is in charge of the herb garden on Diyun Mountain, not far from the Dishen Cave. If you encounter trouble outside in the future, seek Sun Senior Brother's help. Sun Senior Brother is known as 'timely rain' in our Shaohua Mountain."

Qin Sang's face broke into a smile. "From now on, I'll have to rely on Senior Brother Sun for protection. However, I still have some minor matters to attend to and would like to stay in the sect for a month. Next time, I'll travel with Senior Brother Sun again."

The next day, Qin Sang flew alone to Baotasheng Peak.

A newcomer's name holds no weight on Mount Taiba. Qin Sang honestly paid the spirit stones and entered the first level of Mount Taiba, where they placed the information about spirit herbs and spirit fruits.

One hour later, Qin Sang came out of Baota Peak with a helpless expression. Although she had expected it, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The first layer of Taoya Peak is only for cultivators in the Qi Refining period. It contains common spiritual herbs and fruits, which Qin Sang had learned about partially at Yuanguangmen. He still patiently flipped through them, but there was no mysterious orchid-like thing.

But it wasn't a complete waste of time. At the very least, I can now recognize common medicinal herbs when I encounter them outside in the future.

As for the second floor of Taibao Peak, it's not accessible with spirit stones. It requires a waist token from a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Qin Sang only recognized Uncle Wen among them, and they weren't close, so he could only put it off for now.

After that, Qin Sang stayed in Shaohua Mountain for less than a month before suddenly leaving in a hurry.
