Zhang Chang quietly walked inside the Administrative Hall, finding that interior there were very few people, less than twenty.
Zhang Chang pass over those people and calmly walked to the task desk.
"I have come to do find an errand", Zhang Chang said expressionlessly to the young woman in front of the task desk, this woman did not wear the same clothes as most of the others.
In the servant section of Xianggong, some mortals are the descendant's of cultivators, and some of the logistics work is handled for the most part by then.
"You can choose any of the ones that weren't cross out."The woman glanced at Zhang Chang, and took out a book and turned it to Zhang Chang.
Zhang Chang took the book and turn page by page while scanning and organising it with the chip.
'Chip list the chores' Zhang Chang stopped at the last page and with a thoughtful expression on his face, he had commanded Chip to organize the information.
[Plant the Ling Grass, Prerequisite: Have the QI Control Method, Reward: 1 spirit stone a month, Duration: One-year Minimum ]
[Mill the Mellow Leaf, Prerequisite: None, Reward: QI Control Method, Duration: One-Month Minimum ]
....
[Spirit Rain Control, Prerequisite: Have the Basic Technique of Water, Reward: 5 spirit stones a month, Duration: Three-Months Minimum ]
[Cater the Larkspur Leaf flower, Prerequisite: None, Reward: QI Control Method, Duration: One-year Minimum ]
....
In from of Zhang Chang view a list of options appeared. Most of it was related to growing or processing some spiritual herb.
One thing that fell into Zhang Chang eyes, was the spirit stone, it was one of the hard currencies circulating in the cultivation world, but its core value lay in its utility, from helping one cultivate, to providing spiritual energy to some magical spiritual tools to its myriad of application.
In the servant section of Xianggong except for the cultivation method and the food, nothing else was free, whether one wanted spirit stone they had to work for it.
But most of the works have some prerequisites, like having some specific method of spiritual energy control, but to have such a method one must exchange it with a spiritual stone, but this creates a deadlock situation.
Thankfully that was some work that give method as a reward, but the time one most work to compensate were normally too great.
From the list of works, two had met the Zhang Chang criterion, being that it must be near to a spiritual tool or a spiritual material and that the reward was a type of QI Method.

"I choose the Cater the Larkspur Leaf Flower," Zhang Chang said to the receptionist, he had immediately crossed out the work of Milling the Mellow Leaf as he had heard that the Mellow Leaf was slight poisonous.
"Take this and go to the 3rd Hill Side" After seeing that Zhang Chang had picked errand, the receptionist calmly looked at it and took a green leather paper under her desk.
"Thanks" Zhang Chang bid farewell to the receptionist and exited the Administrative Hall.
.......
Looking at the green leather paper, and it has etched with the location of the 3rd Hill-Side, Zhang Chang walk calmly following the indication.
After walking for 30 minutes or so, Zhang Chang finally arrived at the Hill. The hill was small and it was almost flat and on it rests a small build, but this hill was not the field of the Larkspur Leaf flower but just a little place where was the shack that had the tool and other essential for the field.
Zhang Chang calmly walked to the shack arriving soon at it. Under the hill, Zhang Chang could see layer upon the ground a patch of dark blue colour layer till the small horizontal.
Zhang Chang face immediately twist, but not because of the view, but because of the scornfully reek that raided his nose.
"First time here, right" Not noticed when a young man had arrived at Zhang Chang.
Zhang Chang look at the young man carefully, he had a skinny body, but strangely his face was round with his small pointed nose that barely had any space for letting any air in.
"Yes, brother Zhang Chang greets senior brother ..." Zhang Chang replied after finishing noticing the young man that had the same outfit as him, he was clearly a servant too.
"I'm Xao Bhi, haha, no need to be too courteous" Xao Bhi gave small smile as he respond to Zhang Chang politeness.
"Brother Zhang Chang, I guess you are here for the errant, right?" - Xao Bhi
"Yes, senior brother Xao Bhi, I just got the chore." Zhang Chang Calmly replied and handed the green leather paper to Xao Bhi.
"Great, right on time, we were indeed in need of new blood." Looking at the green leather paper, Xao Bhi teasingly replied.
Xao Bhi looked more carefully at the green leather paper, then he shook his head indicating that everything is alright he went inside the shack, soon after he went out with a small token in his hand.
"Take this, later you can go and get the Qi Control of your liking." Xao Bhi handed a small token to Zhang Chang.
"Don't worry about the smell you will get used to it soon... " Xao Bhi lightly commented was he could obviously see Zhang Chang rubbing his nose from time to time.
"Now follow me, I will show you how to tender to the Larkspur Leaf Flower" Xao Bhi gently indicate Zhang Chang to follow him.
As they went down the hill into the dark blue patch the stenchy smell only aggravate, but by now Zhang Chang faces only jolted a bit as he came to understand better the Larkspur Leaf Flower.
The utility of Larkspur Leaf Flower was actually rather vast, as some basic ingredient in some Spiritual Medici pills to the use as an ingredient in some Spiritual ink.
According to Xao Bhi Larkspur Leaf Flower belong to the blood corpus family of Spiritual Plants. Meaning that instead of growing on land it only grows on corpses and that instead of needing to be irrigated with water it needs to be rinsed with blood.
Right now Zhang Chang face is twitching as he realises that he was the blood bag that will irrigate the Larkspur Leaf Flower
"Hahaha, Don't worry junior brother just playing with you." Xao Bhi couldn't help but after seeing Zhang Chang face.
"Actually the blood you only need to fetch every day front the butchers, we rarely will actually use human blood. " After holding his laugh for a bit Xao Bhi went on explaining.
Even after hearing all this, Zhang Chang face was still stiff.
'What about the corpses Not hearing much comment about the corpses from Xao Bhi, Zhang Chang could help but shack his head, as he could clearly see from time to time some Larkspur Leaf Flower laided upon some human corpse.
"Here we are, from now on you are responsible for this land plot" Xao Bhi stop in from of patch of herb and point Zhang Chang to it.
