Asking About Longevity Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Waist Card

 After the interrogation, Bald Tuo was escorted down and sent to Taoist Prison.

Mo Hua asked Zhang Lan: "Uncle Zhang, is the bald head telling the truth?"

Zhang Lan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The first part is true, but the second part is not clear. It is probably half true and half false. This person is cunning and can't fully trust his words."

Mo Hua nodded.

 About the map, he must be hiding something.

But there are too few clues as to what the map is related to, and the ink painting has no clue.

 “Would you like to ask the one-eyed man again?” Mo Hua asked again.

 He remembered that among the sin cultivators, there was another one-eyed monk who could be considered a leader and might know more.

"Okay, I will interrogate him when I have time. You should go back first. This torture chamber is not a good place."

 After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he fanned in front of his nose, as if he wanted to get rid of the smell.

"Um."

Mo Hua also felt that the smell here was unpleasant and would feel depressing after staying for a long time, so he was ready to leave.

 Zhang Lan suddenly said: "I'll go find you in a few days."

Mo Hua turned around, a little confused, "What do you want from me?"

“Have you forgotten?” Zhang Lan blinked at Mo Hua, “We agreed that if we catch Bald Tuo, Daotingsi will benefit you.”

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, “What's the benefit?”

“You'll know in a few days.”

 Zhang Lan is still trying to sell things off.

A few days later, Zhang Lan found Mo Hua and handed him a tips bag.

 When he opened the ink painting, he found a bronze sign in the bag.

The materials used are not expensive, nor does it look like a spiritual weapon. The style looks a bit simple, even clumsy, and dull.

 “That's it?” Mo Hua was a little disappointed.

 He thought that Daotingsi would give him some spells, exercises, elixirs or formations.

 Zhang Lan said angrily: "What do you mean this? Do you know what this is?"

Mo Hua shook his head.

 “This is Daotingsi's badge!”

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide, "Isn't it the monks from Daotingsi who have official badges?"

“That's right.” Zhang Lan nodded, “So this is not official.”

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Fake?"

 Zhang Lan sighed, "Supernumerary."

 “Oh.” Mo Hua understood.

Formal monks in the Dao Tingsi, from the chief executive and the chief at the lower level to the deputy chief and chief at the top, must pass the assessment before they can be hired.

 The assessment is very strict and covers many categories, including spiritual roots, exercises, martial arts or magic, family background, whether there is a criminal record, whether there are any direct blood relatives who have been imprisoned or possessed by demons within three generations, etc.

 These are the contents of Daotingsi's investigation.

If you want to pass the assessment, you don't just have to pick one out of a thousand, you have to pick one out of a hundred.

Moreover, in addition to the assessment, there are also various intricate relationships among monks and personal contacts behind the scenes.

Mo Hua wants to pass the assessment of the Eight Classics of Zhenger and become a monk of the Daoting Division, even if he is just to hold the office, it is probably not easy.

It's not bad to be able to have a non-staff status now.

“What's the difference between supernumerary and formal?” Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan explained: "Sub-staff refers to those outside the staff. They can help Daotingsi do things in exchange for merit, and exchange for spiritual stones, exercises, spells, spiritual weapons, formations and other spiritual materials."

“But without the establishment of Daotingsi, there is no way to be promoted, and there is no authority, and the treatment cannot be compared with that of normal Daotingsi monks.”

“Oh.” Mo Hua nodded, “On the surface, I'm an errand, but in fact, I'm working part-time.”

Zhang Lan snorted, "There are so many monks who want it, but there is no way out yet."

Mo Hua leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Is this waist card so good?"

Zhang Lan pointed at the waist card in Mo Hua's hand, "For others, this may only be used to do errands and make a living. But it's different for you. You are an array master and you don't rely on this to make a living. You can also use this to harvest Daotingsi's wool.”

Mo Hua then whispered: "Uncle Zhang, you are also a member of Daotingsi. Isn't it bad to encourage me to pick up Daotingsi's wool..."

Zhang Lan glared at Mo Hua, "I didn't instigate it." "Don't worry, I won't tell others."

 Zhang Lan was a little helpless, "Daoting unified the cultivation world and has countless resources. The Daoting Division below is also a big business. You can pick up the wool of Daoting Division, which is your own ability."

  At least you are the only one in the entire Tongxian City who can make the boss take the initiative to give you a badge...

 Zhang Lan thought silently.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and asked curiously: "How to collect this?"

 It is said to be Daotingsi's waist medal, but there are only some simple lines on it and no words engraved on it. It looks like an ordinary bronze medal with nothing special about it.

Even if Zhang Lan said he could pluck wool, Mo Hua didn't know how.

After Mo Hua asked, he felt that it was not very good for him to always ask Zhang Lan things. He patted his chest again and said generously:

 “You can eat and drink today, and I'll pay for it.”

  Anyway, the restaurant is owned by his family.

 Zhang Lan laughed, shook his head, and said to Mo Hua:

"You helped Daotingsi. If you don't have this reputation, it can only be regarded as a personal favor. Favors can be light or serious, and they may not be taken seriously."

“But with a waist card, you can record your achievements, and your achievements can be exchanged for spiritual stones, elixirs and spiritual weapons.”

“For example, if you help us catch the Bald Tuo, if you catch him, it means we have accepted your favor. The chief and I know about this, but other monks don't know about it, and they may not recognize it.”

"Now that you have a waist card, this favor can be regarded as an achievement. It will be recognized by the boss and recorded in the merit book. This is a real achievement. Once it is revealed, others cannot deny it."

Mo Hua probably understood, and asked again: "Then how is this achievement calculated?"

 Zhang Lan took a sip of tea and continued:

"First of all, it is divided by grade. If you are in the Qi Refining stage, then all your achievements will be of the first grade."

“Secondly, according to the size of the merit, it is divided into four grades: A, B, C and D. Different grades of merit can be exchanged for different things, but they also have their share.”

"You helped capture Bald Tuo this time, and the boss gave you a 'B' grade. If you exchange it for spiritual stones, it will be about a thousand."

 “So many?” Mo Hua was surprised.

The total number of people who captured Bald Tutuo were more than twenty, and each person in Mo Hua could share a thousand spiritual stones.

“This is only based on merit, there are other rewards, and there are quite a lot of miscellaneous things.”

“Bald Tutuos are so valuable? If we catch a few more, wouldn't we make a fortune?”

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Lan gently rubbed Mo Hua's head, "Do you think Bald Tuo is a carrot head? I want to catch a few of them."

Mo Hua thought for a moment and nodded.

That's right. In that group of sin cultivators, Bald Tuo can be regarded as the “big brother” after all.

Even if it's a radish, it's still the biggest one.

"However, it is best to save this achievement for later use. It would be a waste to exchange it for the spirit stone." Zhang Lan added.

 “What's the point here?”

“Behind Daotingsi is Daoting. Its heritage and resources are profound and extensive. The things used as rewards may not be the most precious, but they are the most complete.”

Zhang Lan explained patiently, "Whether you are practicing or drawing formations, you will inevitably encounter some things that are not expensive but are rare in the future. If you have spiritual stones and you have nowhere to buy them, this situation is the most difficult."

“And now that you have this waist card, you can exchange it directly from Daotingsi's warehouse, which will save you a lot of trouble.”

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Without Zhang Lan's guidance, he really would have no way of knowing.

Then Mo Hua became a little worried again, "Having taken this badge, do I have to obey Daotingsi's orders?"

He didn't want to one day become "Dao Tingsi's lackey" and could only do things under Dao Tingsi's instructions.

"Don't worry." Zhang Lan raised his eyebrows at the ink painting, "This is another benefit of this bronze waist medal. You can listen to the tune but not the announcement."

"Daotingsi has the right to call you, but in fact, it has no real power to order you. As long as you don't rely on this job to make a living, at worst, you will lose your belt and I will quit, and no one can do anything to you."

 “Is this the idea of ​​being strong without desires?”

Zhang Lan thought about it for a moment and nodded, "That's right. As long as you don't try to make a fool of yourself and think about it, it's actually very easy."

 In this case, Mo Hua felt relieved.

 He is a formation master, and he really does not rely on this for his livelihood. This waist card is just for harvesting wool.

Then Mo Hua sighed: "My identity is a bit complicated now."

 He is mainly an array master, then a demon hunter, and now he is still a little **** who gathers the wool of Daotingsi.
