Chapter 1607: Chapter 594: The Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering that Doesn’t Live Up to Its Name?

The first and only question Luo Chen asked was about Star-Rated Monster Hunters.

"According to the cultivators in Divine Yuan City and areas to the north of the North Sea, Star-Rated Monster Hunters are quite renowned. Why have I barely heard of this... profession in other places?"

Zhang Jiadi was initially taken aback; he hadn’t expected Luo Chen’s question to be so straightforward.

After a slight hesitation, he explained: "It probably has to do with the fact that the Star-Rated Monster Hunter system has only been established recently; in fact, it only started a hundred years ago. Besides, Rogue Cultivators do not want to participate in the Great Righteous-Demon War of the North Sea, fearing it more than anything. Thus, Star-Rated Monster Hunters seldom roam outside, and it’s normal for cultivators from other places to be unaware of this profession."

Luo Chen nodded, this explanation seemed logically sound.

The North Sea is vast, with a distinct demarcation between sea and land, covering an area larger than other major states.

A merchant ship like the Langya, heading directly for specific destinations, takes an entire year to reach Giant Whale Port.

For ordinary Rogue Cultivators traveling from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering to other places, it takes even longer.

Although Teleportation Formations are faster, he knew that the ones in big cities are exorbitantly expensive, starting at millions of Spirit Stones each time, which Rogue Cultivators certainly can’t afford.

"Yuan Mo’s destruction happened in the blink of an eye, a century ago, yet it has brought forth many new things!"

Luo Chen remarked thoughtfully.

Zhang Jiadi nodded in agreement, saying that Monster Hunters were quite a common profession in the past, but essentially just a job that involves hunting Demon Beasts.

However, the Star-Rated Monster Hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering clearly imply a different meaning.

"Alright, back to business, tell me, what are the benefits of becoming a Star-Rated Monster Hunter?"

Zhang Jiadi’s expression turned solemn, and he answered seriously: "There are naturally many benefits, starting with a change in status."

"Once someone becomes a Star-Rated Monster Hunter, they are no longer an ordinary Rogue Cultivator. Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, their status is automatically higher than ordinary Rogue Cultivators. Even when leaving the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering to go to other places, they receive preferential treatment. For example, the most common is that some large Immortal Cities require fees to enter and staying there has a cost, but all these fees can be waived."

"Secondly, Star-Rated Monster Hunters receive favors from the three major powers. Currently, the Righteous-Demon war is in full swing, and if accidentally involved in a battle, showing the Star-Rated Monster Hunter’s Waist Tag will lead both righteous and demon sides to consider letting them pass."

As he said this, Zhang Jiadi showed Luo Chen his Waist Tag.

A black Waist Tag, wrapped in a blood cloud with a crescent moon hanging at the top.

Between the blood cloud and the crescent moon, there were two white five-pointed stars.

"A Two-Star Monster Hunter?" Luo Chen glanced at Zhang Jiadi, his Cultivation Level barely concealed even at Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

He frowned slightly, knowing that the Star-Rated Monster Hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering are divided into nine stars, corresponding to three stages of Foundation Establishment, three stages of Golden Core, and prominent figures of various other realms.

Especially the last three stars, seven, eight, and nine, which only powerful Great Cultivators can achieve.

That is to say, a cultivator’s apparent realm often appears lower than their star rank.

But with Zhang Jiadi, it was the other way around; his realm was actually higher than his star rank.

Does this not imply that his strength is not sufficient to support him achieving a higher or even relatively normal Three-Star Demon Hunter status?

Something is amiss!

His strong aura of Blood Evil didn’t seem like that of a weak person.

Luo Chen gave him a glance, and Zhang Jiadi awkwardly lowered his head.

He muttering through his lips, said, "The favors don’t just stop there. According to some High-Order Cultivators’ discussions within the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, after the Great Righteous-Demon War ends, regardless of who wins, the Star-Rated Monster Hunters within the gathering will not be held accountable in the post-war clean-up."

Luo Chen hummed in response, given that this was a direct resistance against the invasion of the Demon Clan, there were significant merits for the Human Clan.

"Continue."

Seeing Luo Chen didn’t further inquire about his star rank, Zhang Jiadi visibly relaxed.

He raised his head, organizing his thoughts, and slowly said: "Lastly, it’s the well-known treatment for Monster Hunters. After becoming a Star-Rated Monster Hunter, one can seek support from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering when encountering ’bottlenecks’. The level of support corresponds to the star rank and realm, all of which are outlined in detail. Generally, we save these opportunities for major realm breakthroughs, such as Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, or like Core Consolidation which concerns Golden Core Cultivators like yourself!"

"Of course, this is just a summary. In fact, there’s a lot unknown to the outside world about the last point."

"Such as we enjoy some resource exchange discounts within the internal parts of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering."

Luo Chen listened intently, especially to the last point.

As a qualified listener, he timely added a phrase.

"Which resources?"

"Many, varied and all-encompassing!" Zhang Jiadi perked up, sharing the details with Luo Chen.

The resources that the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering brought out were indeed of a diverse variety.

Magical Weapons and Treasures, Pills, Talismans and Seals, Array Law Compasses, Secret Arts and Cultivation Methods, Spirit Pet and Spirit Plants, fine wines and foods, Furnace Ding and maids... whatever the cultivators needed, from the mundane to the Fourth Order, almost everything was available.

Luo Chen found it remarkable, but he also had doubts.

"Can the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering sustain such a complex supply of resources? Where do all these things come from?"

Zhang Jiadi smiled and said, "Ascendant Master Luo may not know this, but our Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering Meeting is known as the sanctuary for Rogue Cultivators, with an abundance of all sorts of resources. After all, there are talents among Rogue Cultivators too, especially those who have cultivated to the stages of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core; without some unique skills, they couldn’t possibly reach their respective realms."
