Chapter 21 Mengde: Another menial job? I'd rather die standing... Deal! [New book, please read!

Having gained experience from previous trips, Mengde was already very familiar with the route to the Black Bee Palace. When he was piloting the Elementary Green Bee Boat in the air, he even had time to look at the surrounding scenery.

In the entire Qingling Peak area, the Black Bee Palace is the liveliest place. Mengde often sees other senior brothers and sisters leading spirit beasts and spirit insects flying around in the air.

The sect attire of Spirit Beast Mountain is generally gray, but the patterns and colors differ between the peaks. The pattern on Azure Spirit Peak is that of bee wings, and the color is azure, symbolizing the strongest spirit insect of Azure Spirit Peak—the Nine Netherworld Bee.

The remaining eleven peaks of Spirit Beast Mountain are all marked with the beast patterns of the strongest spirit beasts under the command of the Core Formation Peak Masters. Disciples from the twelve peaks interact frequently, and Meng De often sees disciples from other peaks in the Black Peak Hall.

After spending several hours, Mengde finally arrived at the Black Peak Palace at a leisurely pace.

"So many people today?" Meng De had just entered the outer perimeter of the Black Peak Palace when he saw hundreds of flying boats and spirit beasts and insects flying in the sky around the palace. He was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly remembered that he had encountered the annual trade fair of Qingling Peak.

The trade fair within Spirit Beast Mountain was spontaneously organized by disciples from each peak. The twelve peaks hold a similar trade fair once a year, and each month one of the main peaks will host a similar trade fair.

Although he was somewhat tempted, Meng De sighed when he thought of the five low-grade spirit stones he only had left in his pocket.

"Let's find some commissions to earn spirit stones first." Although there aren't any real assessments among the entry-level disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain, everyone knows that if they don't focus on cultivation and lower their Core Formation Master's favorability, they'll likely be quietly downgraded...

When Meng De, dressed in a gray robe with blue patterns from the Spirit Beast Mountain, entered the Black Peak Hall, the other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators around him subconsciously glanced at him, many with a hint of doubt in their eyes. They wondered when Spirit Beast Mountain had acquired a new disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Meng De ignored the strange looks from others. His weak divine sense could feel several divine senses sweeping over him, seemingly trying to verify his identity. However, after sensing the aura of the Azure Spirit Token, they stopped this impolite probing.

The frail and insignificant Meng De walked past the three Blood Lion gray-robed cultivators expressionlessly, but was suddenly stopped by the leader, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Blood Lion Peak:

"Hey, why do you look so familiar?"

"Replying to Senior Brother Wang Sheng, a year ago I even took care of the Earthly Gang Bear that was giving birth for you..." Meng De turned around and looked at the three people from Blood Lion Peak, one man and two women. He couldn't tell their cultivation levels, but he could roughly judge that one of them was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and the other two were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. One of the late-stage Qi Refining female cultivators seemed a bit familiar to Meng De. After a moment of recollection, he realized that she seemed to be one of the new disciples who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator named Wang Sheng frowned slightly, silently sizing up Meng De. Finally, a hint of realization flashed deep in his eyes, but then a trace of doubt appeared: "You're that... ten-year-old handyman?"

"Uh... Senior Brother Wang, yes..." Meng De's lips twitched slightly, but he still nodded gently, his attitude respectful.

"I didn't expect you to actually master it, kid." Wang Sheng, who was a bit overweight, said with some surprise.

"Yes... Mengde himself is somewhat flattered..." Mengde was a little confused about the other party's purpose. He didn't remember offending them... Could it be... that they wanted to embarrass him in front of the two female cultivators to make things more interesting? Hmm... the cultivation world is too treacherous!

"Although the Four Spiritual Roots are pseudo-spiritual roots, and it will be difficult to establish a foundation in one's lifetime, you still have to work hard and not waste your time..." Wang Sheng glanced at the green bee pattern on Meng De's chest before saying, "Don't let down Uncle Qingling's expectations, and be grateful."

"...Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I am always grateful..." Suddenly given this lecture, Mengde felt a little helpless. "Alright, alright, I am grateful, I will definitely be grateful!"

"Junior Brother Meng, right?" After giving Meng De some encouragement, Wang Sheng carefully looked him over: "Ever since you left the servants' quarters, we haven't been able to find any easy servants."

"Since you've come to the Black Bee Palace, you must be here to accept a commission, right?"

"I happen to have a request here. I wonder if Junior Brother Meng would be willing to accept it?" At the end, Wang Sheng didn't forget to add, "I don't really trust anyone else, but Junior Brother Meng's grasp of the nature of spirit beasts is beyond ordinary people. Since you left, I haven't been able to find anyone who is easy to deal with."

"..." If he could complain, Meng De would like to say, "Since you've said that, do I have any room to refuse?"

"I wonder what Senior Brother Wang's request is about..." Meng De asked.

"It's not difficult for Junior Brother Meng." Wang Sheng turned around and introduced the two young and beautiful female cultivators behind him to Meng De: "These are my two Daoist partners, Yue Ling and Lin Shuyin."

"..." Meng De's face twitched slightly. Daoist partners, two of them? Is this something you can handle? And it's a mission assignment? Do you need help with this?

"Mengde greets Senior Sister Zhao and Senior Sister Lin." Although he was cursing inwardly, Mengde remained humble and polite on the surface.

"Hmm." Wang Pangzi's two newlywed partners responded with a soft "hmm."

"Now that we know each other..." Wang Sheng suddenly leaned close to Meng De's ear and chuckled, whispering, "Senior brother, I will be needing to cultivate with two partners for a long time to come, and the spirit beasts that you two Daoist partners have just contracted will be left unattended. So, I wonder if junior brother could take care of them for a while?"

Dual cultivation? Both of you together? That's triple cultivation! Can you handle it? Are you some kind of spy sent by the Demonic Joyful Union Sect?

"Of course, if Junior Brother is willing to take care of it, I, Senior Brother, am willing to offer a reward of five spirit stones per month for each spirit beast..." Wang Sheng said with a smile.

Yue Ling and Lin Shuyin were both newly initiated disciples who received a spirit beast cub as a reward from the sect. Only novice disciples cared much about spirit beast cubs; the path of cultivation was arduous, and not every spirit beast could grow to adulthood. Wang Sheng actually wanted Yue and Lin to stop worrying too much about the spirit beast cub. He believed that once they cultivated with him and improved their own cultivation, they could easily find good spirit beast cubs anywhere.

However, Wang Sheng couldn't be too ruthless, as it would be detrimental to their dual cultivation, so he decided to take out some spirit stones to help Yue Lin and his companion foster the initial spirit beasts that the sect had rewarded them with.

"I'd like to hear the details." Meng De's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately put on a serious expression.

"You can't raise him too poorly!" Suddenly, Lin Shuyin, who looked to be in her early twenties and whose cultivation aura was stronger than Meng De's but only to a limited extent, spoke up.

"Hmm." Wang Sheng nodded slightly and continued, "Junior Brother Meng, you need to spend at least two spirit stones a month on the spirit beast."
