The waste she became the first array mage

The film-like gate rippled as she entered, and Li Yirou walked towards the dining hall according to the map on the token.

This body had been working a lot since childhood, and had long since developed strength and toughness. Even so, as she continued to climb up the mountain, the seemingly endless steps made her legs feel as if they were filled with lead, becoming heavier and heavier, and more and more tired.

After two hours, we finally finished climbing the stairs and the road began to flatten out.

After walking for about another half an hour through the winding paths through the woods and bamboo forests, and even around a lake, we finally approached the place indicated by the token.

Phew~ Just turn another corner and we’ll be there.

Li Yiru tidied up her messy hair, straightened her clothes, took a few deep breaths, and prepared herself for an interview before continuing on her way.

Unexpectedly, the scene that came into her eyes made Li Yirou's pupils tremble slightly, and she was very surprised.

Based on what she had seen along the way, she speculated that the world of cultivation was a fantastic place that was a hundred times richer than the mortal world. The cafeteria was where the disciples of the sects had their meals, and it should be as grand and majestic as a luxury hotel building.

But the canteen here is too inconspicuous, just like the straw shed where livestock are raised in their village.

There were a few bamboo tables and chairs under the shed, which looked a bit poor and simple.

Li Yirou felt bitter. How come since she started testing her spiritual roots, the development of things was often beyond her expectations? Was this really a good place?

But she was convinced by Minjing and wanted to see what it was like to actually work there.

Li Yirou walked in nervously, looking more carefully this time. The thatched shed was U-shaped, with an open space in the middle. On the left was a long row of stoves, and next to it was a well. On the right was a row of bamboo racks with various pickled meats hanging on them.

There are a few bamboo houses in front, which are quite unique.

Li Yirou was just wondering where to go and who to find when the door of the bamboo house in front of her was pushed open from the inside.

Even though she was used to seeing beauties on the screen, the young woman who appeared in the bamboo house still surprised her. With her black hair casually tied up, she had the temperament of a fairy. However, her movements were quite slow, which made Li Yirou a little anxious.

Seeing her staring at her in a daze, the woman smiled faintly and greeted her, "You are the new errand disciple here, right?"

Li Yirou suppressed her anxiety, smiled obediently, and took a few steps forward, "Yes, a real person."

He didn't know whether he should call the woman in front of him "senior sister" or something else. She couldn't even tell that she was at a higher level than Minjing had taught him, so he thought it wouldn't be wrong to call her something higher.

"This is my token." Li Yirou came to her and showed her the token in her hand.

She could feel a spiritual force sweeping over her, and the woman smiled gently, "Yes, it's you. You don't have to call me Zhenren, my name is Wang Xiuling, you can just call me Aunt Xiuling."

Li Yirou was slightly surprised. She didn't look very old, so maybe it was because of her seniority that she was allowed to address him like that?

"Okay, Aunt Xiuling." Li Yirou played the role of obedience, and then took the initiative to introduce herself, "My name is Li Yirou, you can call me Yirou or Xiaorou."

The little girl is delicate and well-behaved, with big eyes that seem to speak. Her innocence reveals a bit of pity. She is indeed like a delicate little flower, but her skin is dark, and she exudes a tenacious vitality.

Maybe it’s because he lives in an ordinary family in the mortal world and needs to work.

"Then I'll call you Xiaorou." Wang Xiuling had a good impression of her and chose a more intimate name. "You must be tired after traveling for several days."

"Aunt Xiuling, I'm not tired. Just tell me if there's anything you need me to do." Master Minjing had finally found her a good job, and she had to perform well on her first day.

She was used to doing two things at once, and while being polite to Wang Xiuling, she also analyzed Minjing's intentions. She had poor spiritual roots and no backing, but she was in a seemingly ordinary position. No one would compete with her for the position, and she wouldn't starve. That was good, and she had to cherish it.

Wang Xiuling smiled and said, "There is nothing to do for now. If you are not tired, why not go to the Deacon Hall to collect the clothes and other things for the new disciples."

Li Yirou heard her say this and saw that her clothes seemed to have the same pattern embroidered on them as Minjing's, but the texture was a little worse, which meant that everyone in the sect had uniforms, so she hurried to get one, so she nodded, "Aunt Lingxiu, I'll be back soon."

"By the way, Aunt Lingxiu, there is a kitten that came with me. There is nothing to be ashamed of in the sect, right?"

If keeping small animals is prohibited, she will have to see if she can put the snowflakes into the space.

But even if it can go in, it would be a bit unfair to keep it locked up in there all the time. Kittens are most active at this time, and I'm afraid it must have been suffocated these two days.

"There are no such rules." Wang Xiuling's tone was still gentle, "The sect also has cultivators who raise spiritual beasts, but there seems to be no cultivators who raise animals from the mortal world."

"Just make sure it doesn't run around and be careful not to get hurt by other spirit beasts."

Li Yirou knew that Taxue was smart and very vigilant. When she was attacked by a poisonous spider before, it reminded her very quickly, so nothing should happen.

"Thank you, Aunt Lingxiu. I'll put it here first."

Wang Xiuling raised her hand and pointed at the bamboo house. "The house on the west side is empty. You can use it as you like, but you need to clean it up."

Li Yirou still thanked her. Wang Xiuling seemed gentle and easy to get along with. She was a good boss. She was grateful to Minjing and missed her a little. It would be great if she could be here too.

He placed the backpack in the house, stepped on the snow to get out, stretched his body, and began to explore around fearlessly.

Li Yirou also relaxed upon seeing this. It was a really good start, she thought optimistically.

Thinking of going to the Deacon's Hall first, I just took a quick look. Apart from some dust, the room was quite big.

The house was fully equipped with basic furniture, including a bamboo bed, a table, several chairs and stools, and two bamboo boxes. Compared with the original owner's previous living conditions, it was considered a mansion.

Li Yirou was in a good mood. She found the location of the Deacon Hall from the token, said hello to Wang Xiuling, and set off from the cafeteria.

After coming out, we followed the path and turned around to get out of the bamboo forest. Fortunately, there were no steps, so it was much easier.

As we walked, the scenery suddenly became clear. There were no more randomly built straw huts, bamboo houses, and untreated dirt roads, but wide avenues paved with stone slabs, and the houses had become quaint buildings.

There are carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets, and fairy birds flying slowly and singing happily above. Trees, flowers and plants are arranged in an orderly manner, and there is a new scene at every step.

Looking closely, one can see that there are no seams at all on the blue brick walls of the house, which is even more advanced than modern technology.

Purple smoke was curling in the air, refreshing and sober. There were also monks flying through the air in groups of three or four, or walking by quickly. Everyone was in a hurry to get on their way, and no one's eyes stayed on her for even a second.

Li Yiru was in a complicated mood. She felt like she had come to the world of cultivation, yet seemed very far away from the real world of cultivation.
