After resolving the issues of Kong Jingsheng and the other two, Yun Xiao and Fatty returned to their respective cabins one after another and began to tidy up on their own. In the following time, no one came to cause trouble again. Some people who came to the peak, upon seeing that it was already occupied, obediently went back.
Speaking of which, there are only a few people as arrogant and conceited as Kong Jingsheng and the others who always think about bullying the weak. Moreover, since Yun Xiao and Fatty were able to reach the peak before them, they must not be mediocre. If they want to snatch it, they have to weigh their own capabilities.
Since no one is causing trouble, Yun Xiao and Fatty are naturally happy about it. After all, they don't want to offend all the new students who entered the Thundercloud Academy as soon as they enter.
After simply tidying up their own dwellings, Yun Xiao then took the academy regulations of Thundercloud Academy and began to read them carefully.
At present, he needs to obtain the resources he wants from Thundercloud Academy. But as to how exactly he can obtain them, he still needs to find the answer from these academy regulations.
It took a full two quarters of an hour before Yun Xiao finished reading the entire set of academy regulations and deeply remembered them in his mind. With his divine master's mental strength, once these things are remembered, they will never be forgotten.
There are indeed many rules in Thundercloud Academy, but most of them are old and established rules that constrain the disciples to respect their teachers and abide by the Tao and serve the Great Zhou Dynasty. These things are useless to him and there is no need to deliberately ponder over them.
What really concerns him is the reward and punishment system of Thundercloud Academy and the ways and means to obtain cultivation resources. This is the most direct purpose of his joining Thundercloud Academy.
First of all, regarding martial arts, it is indicated in the academy regulations that outer court disciples of Thundercloud Academy can enter the first floor of the library and freely observe first-order and second-order martial arts. Inner court disciples can enter the second floor of the library and observe third-order martial arts. As for the higher third floor of the library, there are already fourth-order martial arts, that is, the so-called spiritual-order martial arts. Martial arts of that level cannot be casually watched and learned by just anyone.
Of course, Yun Xiao is still practicing first-order martial arts at present. If he is given a third-order martial art, he will be very satisfied. So for now, he doesn't want to consider stronger martial arts techniques.
In addition to martial arts, the most important thing is of course how to obtain cultivation resources.
It is said that there are plenty of cultivation resources in Thundercloud Academy. This statement is not entirely wrong. But only after joining the academy will one understand that the cultivation resources of Thundercloud Academy are not accessible to everyone.
There is only one way to obtain resources in Thundercloud Academy, and that is through task rewards. Only by completing the tasks issued by the academy can one obtain rewards corresponding to the difficulty of the task from the academy. Basically, there is no other way.
However, the masters on the Destiny Ranking of Thundercloud Academy will receive ranking rewards every month. But this is only an extremely special case. After all, there are only fifty people on the Destiny Ranking of Thundercloud Academy. And it is extremely difficult to squeeze into this ranking.
The tasks of Thundercloud Academy are all kinds of tasks, ranging from saving the world to planting flowers and grass. There are tasks of all difficulties. Tasks like planting flowers and grass are basically prepared for those outer court disciples. But the rewards are also very considerable. As for the tasks of inner court disciples, they are generally more difficult and even accompanied by certain risks. Once not handled well or if one is unlucky, one may lose their life.
Speaking of which, the number of inner court disciples lost in Thundercloud Academy every year is quite large. It's just that such things are generally rarely exposed.
In addition to the tasks issued by Thundercloud Academy itself, Thundercloud Academy will also cooperate with Thundercloud Prefecture. Some matters that Thundercloud Prefecture cannot handle will be issued in the form of tasks in Thundercloud Academy. And by completing these tasks, one will generally obtain more rewards. However, the corresponding difficulty coefficient and risk coefficient will increase.
The tasks of Thundercloud Prefecture are all matters related to people's livelihood. For example, where there are magical beasts disturbing the people, where bandits are running amok and so on. And these tasks are all high-risk and high-return. Once such tasks can be completed, not only can one earn fame outside but also obtain additional gains far beyond the task rewards. Needless to say, they are very popular.
For example, if there are magical beasts disturbing the people, once the magical beasts are killed, one can obtain some materials from the magical beasts. And suppressing bandits is even more needless to say. Once the bandits are wiped out, the treasures looted by those bandits from various places can basically become their private property.
Yun Xiao remembered all these situations one by one and finally had a deeper understanding of the situation of Thundercloud Academy. And for this way of obtaining cultivation resources, he had actually been mentally prepared long ago.
There are too many disciples in Thundercloud Academy. This way is undoubtedly the best way to allocate resources. To put it bluntly, this is the so-called relying on one's own efforts to be well-fed and clothed. And if one wants to obtain the academy's resources without doing anything, one can only slowly starve to death.
"Before joining the academy, I always thought it would be so beautiful here. Now it seems that the situation here is not much different from the outside world. It is even more cruel than the outside world."
Closing the academy regulations, Yun Xiao took a deep breath and unconsciously revealed a smile.
Everything is within his acceptable range and is also very reasonable. In the next time, it depends on what extent he can achieve.
"I'd better go to the task hall first to see what kinds of tasks there are. Since Thundercloud Academy distributes resources in this way, it should not be too stingy."
Since it is exchanging tasks for rewards, of course, one must first know what tasks there are and what kind of rewards there are. If the tasks are too complicated and the rewards are too ordinary, he might as well find a deep mountain and old forest, look for natural treasures inside, and then slowly cultivate.
Thinking of this, he directly walked out of the cabin, locked the door, and then went to call Fatty to go to the task hall for a stroll.
Unfortunately, when he came to Fatty's cabin, he found that the other party was actually sleeping soundly. It seems that the previous arduous climb had consumed him too much. Seeing this, he simply gave up the idea of calling Fatty and then went down the mountain alone and headed for the task hall of the academy.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, Yun Xiao first went to the bulletin pavilion and carefully read the distribution map of Thundercloud Academy in the bulletin pavilion and then remembered it one by one.
There are hundreds of spiritual peaks in Thundercloud Academy. In addition to the spiritual peaks where the disciples live, many spiritual peaks have their special uses. Some spiritual peaks can be approached, and some spiritual peaks cannot be approached at all. He must figure this out.
In addition, since he is going to the task hall this time, he also needs to find the location and route on the distribution map. Otherwise, if he just looks around randomly, who knows how long it will take to find it.
With his mental strength, he almost copied the entire distribution map of Thundercloud Academy into his mind. It can be said without hesitation that at this moment, his understanding of the various spiritual peaks of Thundercloud Academy is probably deeper than that of some senior students.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour and passing through no less than a dozen spiritual peaks, Yun Xiao finally came to a mountain valley. In this mountain valley, a palace came into view. There was also a sign hanging on the palace, which was exactly the words "task hall".
At this time, many disciples of Thundercloud Academy were coming in and out of this palace, giving people a rather lively feeling, just like being in a shop in the secular world.
"It seems that there are still many people in Thundercloud Academy who are positive and motivated!"
Seeing those disciples of Thundercloud Academy running around inside and outside the hall, Yun Xiao knew that he would soon become one of them and run around for his future.
Straightening his clothes, he did not hesitate. As he spoke, he followed others and stepped into the hall.
"So many people. It's almost as crowded as an auction. I didn't expect there to be so many people."
After entering the hall, the first thing he saw was groups of people. He roughly estimated that at this time, in this hall of no less than several hundred square meters, there must be at least three to four hundred people. These people were divided into groups and gathered around one bulletin board after another, choosing the tasks they liked.
Yun Xiao randomly found a bulletin board and looked up like others.
Taking a quick glance, there were a total of ten tasks on this bulletin board. The first task was actually to find a blooming purple qin flower, and the task reward was one hundred thousand gold.
"Ha, just by finding a purple qin flower, you can get one hundred thousand gold? This is really..." Seeing this first task, Yun Xiao had an almost 哭笑不得 feeling.
The purple qin flower is a relatively common flower. However, most of the time it is in a budding state. The flowering period is extremely short and it will basically wither within three days.
And the purple qin flower is also known as the flower of love. Generally, it is given by men to the girls they admire to express their love. Other than that, it has no other uses.
"It seems that this should be posted by a disciple. Using one hundred thousand gold to exchange for a flower. This person is really deeply in love!"
The tasks in Thundercloud Academy are not only issued by the high-level of the academy. In fact, every disciple of Thundercloud Academy can post tasks in the task hall and then give task rewards. If others think they can complete it and it is worth doing, they will take the task and do it.
"This task I can really complete. But this one hundred thousand gold is of no use to me."
There is a purple qin flower in his small courtyard. However, he does not need worldly things like gold ingots at present. Moreover, the task reward of one hundred thousand gold is really a bit less.
In the following time, he looked at the tasks below and found that these tasks were all posted by academy disciples. Perhaps those outer court disciples would be interested, but he obviously didn't think much of them.
There are task boards everywhere in the entire task hall, and there are many tasks on them. Anyway, there is plenty of time. He simply looked at them one by one. Even if he doesn't take on tasks for the time being, at least he can have a general understanding of these tasks and know what task rewards he can get.
Don't mention it. Some tasks are not too difficult, but the rewards are really generous. For one task of finding the eggs of the green-crowned python, the task reward is actually a thousand-year-old rare treasure.
The green-crowned python is not rare. Although snake eggs are a bit rarer, the reward of a thousand-year-old rare treasure doesn't know how many people will be tempted. Even he is tempted to go out of Thundercloud Academy and find a snake egg in exchange for the reward.
There are many such tasks. And rewards like thousand-year-old rare treasures can be seen everywhere. Only at this moment did he finally feel that his joining Thundercloud Academy is meaningful.
In fact, some tasks are deliberately posted by the high-level of Thundercloud Academy. The purpose is to train the disciples. And for these high-level people, the task itself may have no meaning.
Yun Xiao was extremely excited and really wanted to write down several tasks right now. But thinking that he had just offended the Kong family, it might not be appropriate to go out at this time. So he could only suppress this impulse for the time being and continue to look.
"Eh? Why is there no one around this task board?"
Walking past one task board after another, Yun Xiao finally came to a task board hanging in the corner. Around this task board, there was not a single person. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and subconsciously looked at the tasks on the task board.
"Uh, this task..."
After seeing the first task on the task board clearly, Yun Xiao was directly stunned and couldn't say a word for a while.
