Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 370 - 365: Searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye

In Ding Huan's opinion, since he was hired as an Array Master, he was definitely meant to repair Arrays, check for deficiencies, prevent the Stealing Immortal Worm from gnawing on the Array, or say, disrupt the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye.

What Ding Huan hadn't expected was that this disciple, leading him and Chang Danyi, kept taking them farther and farther away.

After about an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of a mountain far away from the Immortal Sect, where there were a few temporary cave mansions.

"Bone Immortal Master, long time no see." A man of medium height, who appeared very slick, came out of the temporary cave mansion, his tone laced with a bit of fawning.

The disciple who brought Ding Huan and Chang Danyi over snorted and said, "Cheng Keqi, you have been in charge of searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye for the past three years, yet in these three years, you haven't found a single Spring Eye.

If this continues, I think you will soon be expelled from the Immortal Sect."

Only then did Ding Huan realize that this slick man was the person in charge of searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring in the Immortal Sect. This guy hadn't found a single Spring Eye in three years and could still stay in the Immortal Sect; he indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.

It was like a company bringing in a guy who had no skills at all, just relying on his smooth methods to remain in the company and even draw a salary.

Indeed, this guy was clearly only bridging mortals and immortals. He also worked in the Immortal Sect, yet humbly referred to a mere guiding disciple as Immortal Master.

"I've brought two people to help in the search for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye; they will temporarily join you for six months," said the Bone Immortal Master, pointing at Ding Huan and Chang Danyi.

Ding Huan frowned, something wasn't right.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Bone Daoist, is there a mistake? I am an Array Master, supposed to check for leaks and repair the Sect's Protecting Array, not to search for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye."

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Cheng Keqi's eyes flashed with disdain.

A mere newcomer to work at the Sect, and yet he's already being picky.

An Array repair job? Could such a cushy job fall to an outsider who just arrived at the Sect?

In the Immortal Sect, the cushiest jobs weren't planting Immortal Spirit Grass; they were repairing Arrays.

This kind of job basically required no brainpower and only needed checking around periodically.

The vast amount of spare time could be used for cultivation.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Moreover, the job of checking and repairing Arrays was typically near the Spring Eyes, which made cultivation in such places more than just a pleasure.

The most thankless task in the Immortal Sect was searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye.

Such tasks were strenuous and unrewarding, and for cultivators who were either unlucky or less skilled, it could take a century to find a single Immortal Spirit Spring Eye.

If you failed to find the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, the only path left was expulsion from the Immortal Sect.

If you were lucky and did find an Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, congratulations, you could stay a few more years.

As for how the Spring Eye you found was used, that was none of your concern. Your task was to search; others would use the Spring Eye.

The surname Bone disciple's face darkened: "What, think I assigned roles wrongly? If you believe you're capable, you can leave our Immortal Sect and find your own path."

After saying this, he turned and walked away.

In his heart, the two ants he had brought today truly didn't know their place. Such a long journey, not a hint of tribute, and they still dared to talk back.

Of course. Even if they had given tribute, it wouldn't change Ding Huan's fate of searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye.

Once the Bone surname Cultivator had left, Cheng Keqi's demeanor immediately changed. He coldly swept a glance at Ding Huan: "Come with me inside, to assign the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye search tasks."

"Fellow Daoist Ding, let's first go inside and see, we can talk later," Chang Danyi, worried that Ding Huan and Cheng Keqi might clash, quickly urged.

Ding Huan knew Chang Danyi was overthinking; he would definitely not fight with someone like Cheng Keqi, which would be degrading.

When he and Chang Danyi entered the cave mansion, there were already two people present.

"I'm Cheng Keqi, responsible for exploring the Hundred River Immortal Path Immortal Spirit Spring Eye. Introduce yourselves," Cheng Keqi said, looking at Ding Huan and Chang Danyi.

Ding Huan said, "My name is Ding Huan, and I am an Array Master. This is Chang Danyi, my Array Assistant Disciple."

Cheng Keqi pointed to another man and said, "This is Xing Bu, another Immortal Spirit Spring Eye explorer."

Then he pointed to another woman and said, "This is Leng Youlin, also an Immortal Spirit Spring Eye explorer.

Ding Huan, we don't have Array Masters here, nor do we have any Array Assistant Disciples. You and Chang Danyi are now also Immortal Spirit Spring Eye explorers. Have any objections?"

Asking if Ding Huan had any objections, his attitude clearly suggested that objections were pointless; here, he was the decision-maker.

Ding Huan casually said, "I don't mind."

After all, everyone's just a worker, no one more elevated than another.

"Very well, since that is the case, let us divide the territory.

We were discussing the issue of territorial division just now. This time, the regions we will explore include the Ding District, Wu District, Ji District, and Geng District; I will be responsible for the Ding District..."

Before Cheng Keqi could finish, Leng Youlin loudly interrupted, "I will be responsible for the Wu District."

Xing Bu also added, "Since that's the case, I will take the Ji District."

Ding Huan and Chang Danyi did not speak. Obviously, the regions mentioned earlier were richer in Immortal Spirit Energy, not only making it easier to find the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye but also more convenient for cultivation.

Cheng Keqi looked at Ding Huan and Chang Danyi, "Then you two will temporarily be responsible for the Geng District. Here are a Communication Bead and a direction map, one for each person."

From the beginning of the meeting to the assignment of tasks, Ding Huan and Chang Danyi hadn't spoken and had no choice in the matter.

"So let's start our action now; remember, we don't have much time. If we cannot find a new Immortal Spirit Spring Eye soon, everyone must leave, understand?"

Cheng Keqi's words carried some threat, but Ding Huan was still unconcerned.

Even if it came to dismissal, it wouldn't reach him and Chang Danyi for the time being.

Everyone lacked achievements, and he and Chang Danyi were still on probation; surely those who joined first would be dismissed, right?

As he and Chang Danyi walked out of the cave mansion, Chang Danyi expressed her concerns, "Mr. Ding, I guess Cheng Keqi won't stay here long, that's why he's eager to find the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye faster.

But I heard that there are techniques and methods to find the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, and this guy hasn't told us anything. How are we supposed to find it?"

Ding Huan chuckled, "Don't worry about him; let's start looking. Even if we get fired, they should be the ones to go first. Now that we have arrived in the Immortal Domain, I don't believe we can starve."

"Okay," Chang Danyi agreed, though she still felt uneasy.

Ding Huan's skill in the Array Dao was strong, but that had nothing to do with finding the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye.

The locations to search for the Immortal Spirit Spring were remote, and the Geng District was even farther. Ding Huan and Chang Danyi walked for nearly two hours before finally reaching the edge of the Geng District.

"The Immortal Spirit Energy is so scarce here, even cultivating in this place would hardly yield much progress," Chang Danyi said with some unease, feeling the weak Immortal Spirit Energy in the Geng District.

Ding Huan felt it too. If the Immortal Spirit Energy upon first entering the Immortal Sect could allow them to cultivate to the next realm, here it was much scarcer.

For Ding Huan, he could indeed set up a Spirit Gathering Array.

But he knew without asking that setting up a Spirit Gathering Array here was definitely not allowed by the Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Sect recruited them to find Immortal Spirit Energy, not to consume it.

So they could secretly hide and cultivate, but absolutely could not openly set up a Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate.

"Ding Huan," Chang Danyi said, "my thought is, we just got here and are not familiar with finding the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye at all. Continuing like this is just wasting time. It might be better for each of us to find a place to cultivate for half a year before deciding."

Chang Danyi voiced her honest thoughts, knowing this was the best choice for them.

Ding Huan waved his hand, "No rush; let's keep going and see when we reach the edge of the Geng District."

Chang Danyi hurriedly said, "Ding Huan, the Immortal Spirit Energy is already scarce where we are; if we go to the edge of the Geng District, we might not even be able to cultivate."

Ding Huan smiled, "Fellow Daoist Chang, even if we cultivate here, how much progress can we really make? Since that's the case, we might as well just go to the edge of the Geng District."

"That's true," Chang Danyi nodded.

The two continued forward, walking another half an hour before arriving at an even more desolate gravel desert.

This place was still within the territory of the Hundred River Immortal Sect, but the Immortal Spirit Energy...

Well, it was indeed much stronger than in the Void.

But in the Void, the Immortal Spirit Energy was almost non-existent.

In this place, cultivating was very, very difficult.

"I still have some Spirit Veins on me. I plan to go into seclusion here for a while. There's still some Immortal Spirit Energy here, so even if I'm expelled from the Immortal Sect, at least my cultivation can be preserved."

Chang Danyi had completely abandoned the idea of searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, knowing she couldn't find it.

If the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye was so easy to find, it wouldn't be her turn, Chang Danyi.

Ding Huan agreed with Chang Danyi's approach, "Sounds good. I'll set up a couple of cave mansions here first. After you start cultivating, I'll try my luck."

Chang Danyi began her cultivation in the cave mansion set up by Ding Huan. He really went out alone to try his luck.

Chang Danyi felt helpless about Ding Huan not cultivating and instead searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, unable to persuade Ding Huan, so she could only start cultivating herself.
