Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 424 - Chapter 424 Chapter 237 Duty Bound Without Hesitation

Chapter 424: Chapter 237: Duty Bound Without Hesitation Chapter 424: Chapter 237: Duty Bound Without Hesitation “Willing to work for free?”

“Still no good. Before you, there were not only people who would work for free but even those who were willing to pay to work.”

“Is Auntie Three or Auntie Eight in charge of the cooperative project?”

“No, that won’t do either.”

“Forget about being in charge, even if they were relatives of President Huang, they would still need to pass a physical and examination before finding a way in.”

“If the physical isn’t up to standard, or if one fails the exam, then there really is no ‘back door’ to enter through!”

“Alright, brother, you better get ready for the physical soon. I hope to work with you.”

As the buildings at the breeding site began to be decorated, the task of recruiting and training related employees was also underway simultaneously.

Then, unsurprisingly, as the effects of the spiritual energy-nourished food were touted more and more miraculously…

Shrewd individuals, jobless or not, flocked to sign up, hoping to catch the rising tide of this industry and soar to the heavens.

The old lady who sold the spare rib remnants also brought her children and grandchildren to sign up.

Seeing the age limit set at 35, she complained a bit about these people not appreciating the reliability of the elderly.

Then she saw that the recruitment list explicitly mentioned a preference for those with practical cultivation experience.

And those with a cultivation assessment of ‘excellent’ or higher would receive extra points!

The examination content was quite user-friendly, mainly consisting of elementary school-level questions and some simple brain teasers.

The key was the physical exam.

After all, it was a job in a place with spiritual energy.

If possible, naturally, those with better talents were preferred as employees.

That way, when the time comes for jobs requiring more mana control, these individuals could keep up smoothly.

Blood draw, deep breaths, push-ups, and running…

After the exam, one could go home and wait for a notification.

Each recruitment site had local volunteers dispatched to help, so even if some areas faced a slightly higher influx of people, they managed to cope.

After several days, no spiritual body had been found.

There were indeed quite a few people with a spirit root.

Among those who practiced cultivation at home, many had spirit roots of at least mid-grade quality.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, after twenty or thirty years, at least they could mix in as Outer Sect deacons.

While development in various places on Water Blue Star gradually got on the right track…

Immortal Cultivation World.

Within the Guardian Immortal City.

In the estate of the Huang Family…

“Demon Core?”

“My Huang Family has rooted in the Immortal City for a thousand years, naturally, we have some of these.”

“But you also know, it’s not something we use often, yet it’s a lifesaving trump card when we need it.”

The Huang Family’s Old Ancestor was seated cross-legged in the tea room, facing the Deputy Pavilion Master from the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion, who had come as a negotiator.

The Old Ancestor of the Huang Family was somewhat reluctant regarding the request made by the Deputy Pavilion Master.

If it hadn’t been for the other party bringing up the Blood God Ancestor, who was currently very prominent…

He would have been inclined to send the guest away right now.

Despite the many downsides and side effects of a Demon Core…

It was crucial for adding a Golden Core warrior to the family in times of need.

Coupled with the centuries-old foundation of these big clans of the Immortal City…

The power that a Golden Core warrior could exert was far beyond simple addition.

After all, many Spiritual Treasures or special Secret Treasures, Formations, all required Golden Core Cultivation to release their full power.

Furthermore, given the current delicate situation of these great clans of the Immortal City, all the seniors above Golden Core in their families had been summoned to the main peak and had not returned for a long time.

Thus, the Demon Core had become even more important.

“Naturally, I understand this.”

“It’s just that the Old Ancestor earnestly seeks to purchase it, so I hope your esteemed side can part with one or two.”

Saying this, the deputy pavilion master paused and took out a box from his sleeve, placing it on the tea table.

The box was made of quaint purple wood, and when clicked open…

A pleasant fragrance immediately wafted out.

Making the Huang Family’s Old Ancestor glance with a stirred expression.

Upon seeing clearly what was inside the box, the Huang Family’s Old Ancestor couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Spiritually beneficial tea leaves?”

“These leaves… produced by tea trees older than five hundred years?”

“Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible!”

“Under the invasion of Evil Qi, there have been no tea trees older than five hundred years in the Immortal Cultivation Realm!”

“Hehe, whether it’s true or not, why not just brew a pot and see?”

The Deputy Pavilion Master suggested, then calmly watched as the other party took out an extremely valuable set of Spiritual Artifact grade tea utensils.

He then used this set to take out a nail-sized piece of emerald-green tea leaf and placed it inside.

Soon enough, he brewed or, more accurately, boiled a pot of hot tea.

The most premium tea leaves are not roasted.

After a pot of tea went down…

The Huang Family’s Old Ancestor’s face changed drastically, and looking at the smiling Deputy Pavilion Master from the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion, he took a deep breath before slowly saying:

“It’s even better than the old tea leaves treasured by my family!”

“For us at Foundation Establishment Perfection, it’s extremely beneficial for a future breakthrough to Golden Core!”

“However, just this item in exchange for a Demon Core is surely not enough, right?”

Seeing this unbelievable gift, the tone of the Huang Family’s Old Ancestor gradually softened.

“Naturally, this isn’t enough. In fact, that Old Ancestor is also willing to provide other rare items in exchange for the Demon Core.”

“However, in my opinion… none of these rare items are as valuable as a promise from that Old Ancestor.”

“A promise?”

The Huang Family’s Old Ancestor was slightly taken aback, then narrowed his eyes, staring at the other party.

The Deputy Pavilion Master smiled and continued:

“You don’t really think that for a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion would show such high regard, with the entire pavilion running around top to bottom on their behalf, do you?”

“You… you mean…”

The Huang Family’s Old Ancestor’s gaze once again turned toward the tea leaves in the wooden box, his mind filled with complex thoughts.
