Chapter 1 Hardship
Daning, June.
In Zhulong County, in the north of Nanjie City, the fire dragon opens its eyes and the sun is like flames.
In a small and crude cave.
Zhao Qianli had to get up and start packing his few luggage. With a bitter look on his face and a helpless expression, he laughed at himself and said:
"Without a backer and background, cultivating immortality is really difficult. It seems that we have to take advantage of opportunities and go to the city to earn some resources. It is best to find a stable job."
Zhao Qianli has been here for two months. He has been hiding in the cave and waiting for so long, but no system has come, and no cheating cheat has appeared.
Life is hard!
When the spiritual stones on Zhao Qianli's body were used up and he could no longer absorb the spiritual energy into his body, in order to prevent his cultivation from declining, Zhao Qianli had no choice but to pack up his clothes, walk out of the cave, and try his luck in the city.
Daning does not exclude casual cultivators who seek immortality. They all regard cultivation as a basis, and provide certain official positions to support them. They are called immortal officials, and they are also called gods, such as village gods, mountain gods, and parents' gods.
Immortals, people are as stable as mountains, no matter what the outside world is, and they are free and at ease, while gods can stretch out their hands and listen to others, which is commonly known as "applying for help".
A few empty jade bottles, a ball of mats for meditation, and an incense burner for calming the mind. All Zhao Qianli's possessions were pitiful. After leaving the cave, he was not willing to use his spiritual energy to ride the wind, but walked all the way.
Stroll to the South Street Gate.
At this time, the city gate was wide open, and there was a lot of people coming in and out.
There were several notices posted next to the city gate. Zhao Qianli took a closer look and saw that it read:
"Recruiting an Ancient Water River God requires a cultivation level of no less than Level 5 of the Ox-Shaking Realm, a nine-to-five day job, one day off per month, and a salary of two spiritual stones."
"Recruiting a village god from Shaxin Village. Registration requirements: Level 3 or above of Shaking Ox Realm. Priority will be given to those with relevant work experience. Food and accommodation are included. The monthly salary is one spiritual stone."
"Recruiting a Nanjie Mountain God, first-level snake realm or above, with heavy responsibilities and strong job pressure. Only male. A ten-year service period is required, and the salary is five spiritual stones."
The Ox-Shaking Realm and the Snake-Transforming Realm are just vaguely defined realms among cultivators. They do not represent combat power, but their cultivation is similar to academic qualifications and is a stepping stone to a solid foundation.
Zhao Qianli glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and walked into the city. After all, the spirit stone was the target that Zhao Qianli wanted. At least the official position offered by Daning Dynasty was so attractive and the benefits were generous, which could not make Zhao Qianli
Qian Li was shocked.
With a lot of money, there must be cattle and horses.
After half a stick of incense.
In the south of the city, in front of the mansion gate.
Zhao Qianli stood up straight with his head held high and his chest obediently waiting to apply.
Nanjie City is a small town in Zhulong County, but although it is small, it has all the internal organs.
The chief immortal official of this city is surnamed Liu, and his name is Shanwu. He is a palace god who has been conferred as a god by his military exploits. His cultivation is unpredictable, and he has followers such as the Night God, the Earth God, and the Kitchen God. I heard that Liu Shanwu has made great military exploits and is a vigorous and resolute man.
, and was born in Nanjie City, so he came to take office here.
The God of the Mansion has many affairs, so he only spares time for a cup of tea every day to recruit immortal officials, but at this time there is a long queue in front of the door, and even Zhao Qianli is queued up to 100 people.
It can be seen that although there are positions, the competition is even more fierce, and it is obvious that "there are many monks and few people" and "jobs are hard to find".
When he saw the door of the mansion slowly opening, Zhao Qianli breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself:
"Huh! Fortunately I caught up. If it had been too late, there would have been so many people. Today's Immortal Officials would have been full. Without the spirit stones, my cultivation level would have declined. Alas, cultivation is really like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
."
Inside the door, two soldiers wearing armor, hanging official seals on their waists, and holding long swords walked out. They stood on the left and right with firm faces and looked straight ahead.
Suddenly.
The soldier on the left suddenly showed his official seal, shouted angrily:
"This is an important place for officials. How can we allow you and other monsters to hang around here? Why don't you get out of here?"
The official seal flew into the air, emitted a dazzling light, and then hit a man five steps in front of Zhao Qianli.
I saw that under the suppression of the official seal, the man could no longer bear it any longer. He lay on the ground and was seriously injured in an instant. His true form was revealed, and he turned out to be a three-tailed fox.
At the same time, another soldier also took action. As soon as the long sword was unsheathed, the sword roared three feet, and it flew towards a woman in the team. The soldier showed no mercy and compassion, and said lightly: <
/p>
"My lord is merciful and will only take your cultivation level without harming your life. Otherwise, your soul and body will disappear in a matter of seconds."
The woman was shaken by the power of the soldiers and her true form was revealed. She was a thousand-year-old ginseng tree. The long sword flashed cold light and cut off the longest root.
Zhao Qianli was stunned when he saw it. People have six spirits and seven orifices, and it is not easy to practice. These goblins were lucky enough to cultivate into human form, and they want to go to the next level. It is even more difficult.
But when the goblin sets her sights on the Immortal Official, she is probably out of her mind.
The fox demon and the ginseng spirit quickly ran away in despair, not daring to say a harsh word.
The soldiers drove away the goblin and stood there like a statue, making no further move to attack the people in front of the door.
In fact, the government soldiers have seen many recruitment scenes like this. There are one or two large-scale recruitment events in the city almost every month.
It seems that there are many people who signed up, but in fact, less than 10% can successfully stay. And those who persist until the end of the trial period and successfully become regular people are very few.
"When will the interview start? My wife is still at home waiting for me to go back and take her to take office."
"That's right, I've been waiting here for an hour. If I don't start, could it be that there is some insider information in the recruitment? I'm just kidding."
"Ugh, I'm short of money, I've used up my spiritual stones, I'm not worried about applying for a job, but... I wonder if I can get an advance on my salary? I can't live with my life."
The goblin's troubles are just a small episode.
After a while, people in the queue began to talk, complain, and have suspicions, just like snowflakes falling.
After the two soldiers heard this, they simply closed their eyes and ignored it.
Just as the voices of the people making noises became louder and louder, and the scene was about to fall into chaos, a thick and dull voice came from deep inside the palace gate.
"Huh?"
This sound contains extremely deep immortal power, and it attacks everyone like a tidal wave in the sea.
Many people were caught off guard, and some people with low cultivation were even forced to sweat profusely and kneel down directly.
Of the hundreds of people originally standing at the door, in an instant, only less than thirty people were able to maintain their balance, and Zhao Qianli was one of them.
In fact, Zhao Qianli never dared to be careless, fearing that the two soldiers would suddenly attack, so he turned the immortal power in his body into a defensive shield and covered his body, so that he was not knocked down.
