Chapter 182 Zhuocaixuan
After studying "Random Thoughts on the Yun Family's Formation" for a whole night, Lin Xia was still full of energy. If he had not gone to the Shangguan family to collect his identity card very early, Lin Xia would probably continue to immerse himself in the ocean of "Talisman Formation" and be unable to extricate himself.
The identity cards were still issued in Juxian Pavilion, but a few more cultivators were present today, and Lin Xia did not see Chen Jingtan again.
Not long after, Lin Xia received his own ID card, which showed that Lin Xia was assigned to Zhuocaixuan in the outer courtyard, a place specializing in processing formation materials.
In addition to Lin Xia, three other cultivators were also assigned to Zhuocaixuan, two of them were male cultivators and one was a female cultivator.
After receiving the identity cards, they can go to their assigned places. A servant who looks very strong leads Lin Xia and the others all the way and they soon arrive at Zhuocaixuan.
Once they got here, the servant would not go in anymore, and Lin Xia and the others would have to walk the rest of the way by themselves.
Zhuocaixuan is very large. After turning for a long time, passing several material rooms and crossing a garden, we finally arrived at the courtyard where Shangguan Yan, the head elder of Zhuocaixuan, lived.
The courtyard gate was closed. One of the four cultivators, Lin Xia and her companions, stepped forward and knocked on the door. "Is Elder Yan here? We are the new disciples who joined Zhuocai Xuan today."
After a long time, a servant came out and brought Lin Xia and others in.
Shangguan Yan looked quite kind. He just took the ID cards from Lin Xia and others and took a look at them. After confirming that they belonged to Zhuo Caixuan, he asked the servants to take Lin Xia and others downstairs to settle them down.
Along the way, the servant very experiencedly told Lin Xia and others the rules of Zhuocai Xuan. It seemed that he had done this many times and was very familiar with the process.
From the servant, Lin Xia and others learned that the identity cards in their hands were very important. They not only represented their status as disciples of the Shangguan family's outer courtyard, but also served as waist badges for entering and exiting Zhuocaixuan. Without this thing, they could not even approach the gate of the Shangguan family, so they had to keep it properly.
The cultivators who enter Zhuocaixuan have a certain number of tasks to complete every year. These tasks are not difficult, but are just basic processing of formation materials. Only if the tasks are completed on time can they receive the cultivation resources allocated by the family every year.
In addition, you can also accept tasks from the family mission hall in exchange for cultivation techniques and other cultivation resources.
The rest of the time belongs to the cultivator personally and can be arranged by the cultivator himself, whether it is for cultivation or going out for experience. However, if you want to go into seclusion, you need to give notice in advance, otherwise it will easily delay the progress of the original task.
Looking at it this way, Lin Xia instantly felt that there was no great benefit in joining the Shangguan family. If one wanted to obtain cultivation resources and techniques, one would still have to complete tasks on his own to exchange for them. The family only provided a shelter for the independent cultivators, which was why they came in one after another.
……
The Shangguan family's territory occupies almost half of the entire Qionghua City, and the area is very vast.
The entire outer courtyard surrounds the inner courtyard. Disciples from the outer courtyard have no chance to enter the inner courtyard unless they are summoned by important figures in the family.
Even in the mission hall, the outer courtyard disciples can only go to the mission hall of the Shangguan family's outer courtyard and cannot take on the tasks of the inner courtyard mission hall.
Zhuocaixuan is located in the northwest corner of the Shangguan family's outer courtyard. It is quite large and currently has more than 3,000 disciples.
The four new disciples, including Lin Xia, were even each given a small courtyard.
By the way, the ID card is also the key to the courtyard. Without the ID card, other people cannot enter Lin Xia’s courtyard without the owner’s consent. The privacy is still good.
Of course, the restrictions in the courtyard are just like that. If a cultivator with a cultivation level above the Spirit Transformation Stage were to break in by force, he would definitely not be stopped.
After adding some formations to the original restrictions to prevent the cultivators from penetrating with their spiritual consciousness, Lin Xia began to stroll around his own courtyard and released a few of them from Qinglin's space.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to stay here temporarily until they find their uncle and find out the so-called forbidden technique.
The Shangguan family was quite wealthy and did not provide disciples with very demanding accommodations. Even though Lin Xia's courtyard was located in the outer courtyard, it was considered quite nice. It was even better than the courtyard that Lin Xia had rented for three months for 500 medium-grade spirit stones.
There are rockery, clear springs and even a small empty spiritual field in the yard.
Xiaochu and the others had already been having fun in the yard, chattering and planning to ask Lin Xia to plant beautiful flowers in the yard to decorate it.
Lin Xia pushed open a few rooms and looked around. There were only two living rooms, and there was even a kitchen.
The cubs at home spend most of their time in the Qinglin space, so this room is enough for them.
The room was very simple, with few furniture, not even a bed, just a few futons. It looked a bit crude, but it didn't matter. It was fine like this, as Lin Xia could still rearrange it according to her own preferences.
There are two rooms, one can be used as a living room, and the other can be used as a studio for processing formation materials.
As for the kitchen, it is very necessary, and it has all the necessary facilities, such as a stove and so on, so there is no need to change it. Lin Xia can cook occasionally and make a proper meal.
Today's scene can be regarded as moving into a new house. Since there is already a kitchen, Lin Xia simply plans to prepare a table of spiritual food to celebrate.
After expressing his idea, he immediately received responses from the cubs. Xiaochu and Uncle Shu didn't bother to have fun anymore, and actively ran into the Qinglin space to look for food.
Soon, they caught two long-eared rabbits, two long-tailed pheasants, and a fragrant pig. The little kid Xiaochu even had two fish in his hands.
Lin Xia doesn't like eating fish very much, but Xiaochu, who knows who, loves fish so much that he even persuaded Uncle Rat, Ling Cang, and Little Brother Lei to fall in love with fish as well.
These ingredients are the reserve ingredients that Lin Xia and her friends placed in the Qinglin space. After a few years, the quantity is still considerable, and they can be used to supply the few foodies in the family from time to time.
Lin Xia was showing off her skills in the kitchen, while the cubs were lazily basking in the sun in the yard. Even Ling Cang, who had transformed, turned into a tiger cub and was enjoying himself. He would make requests to Lin Xia from time to time, making Lin Xia feel like she was raising a few big guys.
According to the tastes and requirements of these people, Lin Xia not only made grilled Lingxiang pork skewers, but also stewed a pot of braised Lingxiang pork.
The two long-eared rabbits were simply roasted whole. As for the long-tailed pheasants, one was stewed into soup by Lin Xia, and the other was made into spicy chicken.
The remaining fish were the ones Xiaochu brought out. Lin Xia simply braised one and boiled the other.
The sunlight today was not very glaring, so Lin Xia placed the dining table directly in the yard. For a moment, the whole yard was filled with the overbearing aroma of various spiritual foods.
This housewarming party was completed.
