Chapter 253 The Mystery of the Jia Family and Employment
After a while, Master Jia San spoke first: "A few days ago, you sent a message saying that you wanted to mobilize fifty cultivators in the family who were at the foundation-building stage and above to help a master find some fairy island? What's going on?" Master Jia San frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and looked at Jia Sheng.
Jia Sheng raised his chin slightly, his expression solemn as he spoke, "Half a year ago, a cultivator sent a message seeking spiritual medicine through the communication channels of several continents on our Dayu Continent. I contacted him as a casual cultivator and discovered that this cultivator was a cultivator above the Divine Transformation stage, and also a master of alchemy."
"There's such a person?" Mr. Jia was surprised, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief and eagerness. He asked, "How are you discussing it?"
"He has enough spiritual medicines. I tried to exchange them for pills, but he refused. Finally, I begged him for a chance to exchange them for a God-Forging Pill, and then he made a resentful request. He wanted to find something that could renew his spiritual roots." Jia Sheng shook his head helplessly and said.
"Something to replenish your spiritual roots?" Master Jia San asked, his brow furrowed, his face solemn. "This kind of spiritual object is rare, almost extinct. It's not easy to find!" Master Jia San sighed slightly.
"I also think it is difficult to find, but the master said that as long as we get information about this kind of spiritual object and confirm its authenticity, we can exchange it for a God-Forging Pill. So I agreed to help find out the information and search for the spiritual object." Jia Sheng nodded slightly and said seriously.
"In this way, if we want to gather information, the more people there are, the more information we can get. So you can send fifty cultivators above the foundation-building stage in the Qian family to gather information?" Master Jia San narrowed his eyes slightly and asked thoughtfully.
"In order to find out this kind of news, I mobilized all the members of my clan to inquire in the places where they are. Later, I got a piece of news that a cultivator in the East China Sea had obtained a spiritual object that could renew his spiritual roots. Last month, a fisherman discovered the mirage of the Fairy Island and the Holy Mountain. I passed the news to him, and he asked for help in finding the Fairy Island and the Holy Mountain." Jia Sheng said slowly, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Lingshan, the fairy island of the East China Sea?" Third Master Jia said, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "It's not easy to find. There are records in the clan that the Lingshan appears and disappears, only seeking those who have the opportunity." Third Master Jia shook his head slightly.
"If that's the case, this will be difficult to accomplish," Jia Sheng said in a low voice, a hint of worry on his face. "I wonder if he'll give me a divine elixir if we can't find the immortal island or sacred mountain." Jia Sheng frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
"It's hard to say," Third Master Jia said coldly, his expression solemn. "Given the nature of cultivators, it's difficult to get paid if things don't pan out. Furthermore, you're asking for the advancement elixir, which is hard for casual cultivators to find."
"We don't have a senior alchemist, nor can we get high-level advanced elixirs. He still has a glimmer of hope, and we can only do our best to accomplish this." Jia Sheng clenched his fists and said firmly.
"If we can accept him into the Jia family, we..." said Mr. Jia San, with a hint of expectation and a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Before Third Master Jia could finish, Jia Sheng interrupted him: "Third Master, don't have such unrealistic ideas. His cultivation level is at the level of Divine Transformation, and yours is just about the same. Even if you can suppress him, can you defeat him? Putting aside this, after the ceremony of the Holy City of the Fiery Clan was completed, the Holy Maiden of the Fiery Clan was the first to sit at the same table with him. It can be imagined that he is not an ordinary cultivator." Jia Sheng shook his head slightly and said seriously.
"Okay, the affairs here will be fully handled by you, and I will return to Yuanling Continent to take charge of the affairs there. I hope you can get the elixir as you wish." Master Jia San said in a slightly low voice, stood up, his movements were slow and solemn, with a hint of helplessness on his face, he saluted, and slowly walked out of the hall.
Shi Chen's flying boat was hovering over the East China Sea near the fishing village. Within a day, several foundation-building cultivators came to look for him.
Suddenly he thought that he had not arranged things well. If the monks who came to be hired arrived at different times, he would have to contact them one by one, which would not only waste time, but would also make him irritable if he met them so frequently.
He gave each of the first three people half a bottle of elixir for foundation-building practice, and told them to pass the message to the later cultivators.
The mercenary mission will be arranged in seven days, mainly to search for things in the Hundong Sea. The arrangements will be made at that time. If any cultivators do not want to go, they can leave on their own. The mercenary payment can be paid with spirit stones or elixirs, and they can also refine elixirs on behalf of the cultivators.
After Shi Chen gave the order, he entered the suspended flying boat, opened the restrictions on the flying boat, entered the Xuanhuang Pearl, and began to practice.
Seven days passed quickly. Shi Chenchen closed the restrictions on the flying boat and came out of it. He found that a circle of cultivators surrounded the flying boat.
Some sat cross-legged with their eyes closed to rest, some gathered in groups of three or four to discuss, and some even sat cross-legged to practice.
When the monks saw the restriction on the flying boat removed, a monk with unclear cultivation level, wearing a light blue inner lining and a dark gray robe appeared outside the flying boat and looked around.
Shi Chen's spiritual sense swept out and found that there were seventy-five cultivators gathered, among whom there were three Jindan cultivators.
When Jia Sheng saw Shi Chen appear, he jumped over the crowd, came to his side, and saluted with a fist.
Shi Chen waved his hand to signal Jia Sheng to stand aside and wait.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the cultivators who were practicing finished their training and stood up. Shi Chen then slowly spoke, "Thank you all for coming here to be hired to help. Those who are able to stay should have heard the message from these three cultivators."
Shi Chen pointed at the three messenger monks he had instructed earlier and continued, "I need to find a sacred island or mountain in the Chaotic East China Sea. Ten miles from here in the Chaotic East China Sea, a fisherman has spotted a mirage of a sacred island or mountain. I suspect it should be within a 500-mile radius of this Chaotic East China Sea. It's difficult to find it by yourself, so I'll have to hire you to explore."
Having said that, Shi Chen looked around and found that no monks had left. He smiled and continued, "Since you are willing to stay and wait, it means you want to get the reward I pay you. I will clearly state my requirements and reward."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his spiritual power controlled dozens of bottles of elixirs, which floated in front of him. He opened the jade bottles, and the aura of various elixirs instantly rushed out and filled the surrounding area.
The monks' eyes lit up instantly when they smelled the elixir's aroma. Those who had been resting with their eyes closed suddenly opened them, their eyes filled with desire. The monks who had been gathered in groups of three or four also stopped talking and stared intently at the suspended elixir.
A burly Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't help swallowing and said, "This aura must be from a top-quality elixir!" The cultivators next to him nodded in agreement.
A thin-faced monk said with excitement in his eyes, "If I can get these rewards, it will definitely help me to further improve my cultivation."
The three Jindan cultivators were also slightly moved. One of them, the one with a long beard, stroked his beard and said, "It seems this mission is worth a try."
Everyone was buzzing with excitement, discussing the mission with great anticipation. Some monks were already rubbing their hands, ready to showcase their skills; others were mentally calculating how to best complete the mission and secure a generous reward. The entire scene suddenly became incredibly lively, and everyone's spirits were aroused.
