Chapter 73 Basic Situation of the Immortal Cultivation World

Chapter 73 Basic Situation of the Immortal Cultivation World
Cheng Ziwei was wearing an ugly orange employee vest over her Taoist robe. She squatted in front of the shelf, looking at the inventory list while taking out glass bottles from the box to restock the display cabinet in the medical area.

The reason she and her senior brother went down the mountain this time was to explore the secret realm, but the main purpose was to gain knowledge.

This job, which allows them to stay in the secret camp, has a good salary and allows them to have more contact with practitioners, which coincides with their original intention of going down the mountain. After discussing it, the two brothers and sisters gladly accepted it.

The girl's work attitude is not serious, and she is always a little absent-minded. After all, as a cultivator, such menial work is too boring and tedious. Mortals and puppets can do it, so why hire cultivators to do it?
Because it was irrational, she even suspected that Wen Rui had some improper thoughts about her and used this job as bait to keep her by his side temporarily.

But she quickly dispelled this doubt. The cultivators hired by Wen Rui were not just the two from the Qingcheng Sect. Many cultivators from small sects who could not afford the entrance fee to the secret realm were recruited by him as temporary workers and arranged to work in different positions in various shops in the market. For example, Senior Brother Li Yu worked as a guard at the door of the store.

The person who was in charge of the tallying work with her was a senior sister from the Emei Sect. The two of them were from the same Shushan lineage and had had many contacts in Shu before, so they could be considered acquaintances.

The senior sister from Emei Sect had much more experience in traveling around the world than she did. Cheng Ziwei learned from her senior sister that this kind of working model had become a common practice.

There are even quite a few monks from small sects who rush to the secret realm that is about to open, not to explore, but to find a job in the market and earn some stable money.

The Chamber of Commerce would also hire monks to escort valuable goods and guard shops.

Money makes the world go round, and naturally it can also make monks work. It is said that the highest-level monk the Chamber of Commerce has ever hired has reached the Mahayana stage, and no one knows how high a commission he paid.

However, it is not necessarily true that Boss Wen hired the monks simply because he was short of manpower.

Cheng Ziwei had seen Wen Rui secretly ask every temporary worker many times:
"Are you interested in joining Jiejiao?"

"Take a look. There are many benefits to joining Jiejiao. When you join, you will receive a gift pack for beginners, which includes plenty of spirit stones and magic weapons for free."

"Hey, little brother, you look very talented. If you join Jiejiao, I will introduce you to the beautiful sister from the Lishan Immortal Sect next door."

The last sentence was said secretly to his senior brother Li Yu, and he was accidentally caught in the act. He was so embarrassed that he covered his face and ran away while half-heartedly trying to refuse and half-reluctantly look at the album of beautiful pictures of Li Shanqun that Wen Rui took out.

From this we can see that Boss Wen’s lack of manpower to recruit monks is only one reason. Another purpose is to lure young monks to join Jiejiao, and his methods are even starting to become a bit despicable.

It's a pity that his efforts were in vain. He just threw his seductive glances at the blind man. So far, Cheng Ziwei has never seen any cultivator respond.

It’s not that the conditions proposed by Boss Wen were not good enough. Many hired monks had seen him solve the mystery of the Heavenly Dao and earn five million spirit stones at the entrance of the secret realm. They knew that the Taoism inherited by the Jinling Sect was indeed something, and they also knew that the Jinling Sect had made considerable wealth after years of business.

Most of these hired monks come from small sects. Their Taoist inheritance and accumulated resources are definitely not as good as those of the Jinling Sect, which is known as "a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

But still no one was willing to defect. This might be because Boss Wen secretly conducted a character check on the employees when hiring. In any case, after getting to know them, Cheng Ziwei did not find any villains with ulterior motives among her colleagues.

It would be a miracle if you could recruit a traitor among a group of upright gentlemen. Even Cheng Ziwei felt that Boss Wen's move was a bit too clever.

Wen Rui was courteous to his employees, never acted like a boss, and was very knowledgeable. What was even more surprising was that although he was only an ordinary person, he had a very good understanding of cultivation. When talking to him about the difficulties and problems encountered in cultivation, he could easily point out the key points and make reasonable suggestions. Cheng Ziwei also liked to talk to Boss Wen, and she really got a lot of cultivation advice from him. Unfortunately, when it came to the most critical point, Boss Wen began to hide his shortcomings and hinted that if she was willing to join Jiejiao, the subsequent teaching content would be unlocked.

The response is of course rejection. No matter how good the conditions are or how many inducements there are, they will not shake her loyalty to the Qingcheng Sect!

The girl's values ​​are very positive, and she knows that this is a matter of principle. Especially for upright people who sincerely seek the truth, they can lose their lives but cannot disrupt the truth.

No matter how poor the Qingcheng Sect is, it is still our own sect. We are Qingcheng people in life and Qingcheng ghosts in death. We will never regret joining Qingcheng in this life.

Cheng Ziwei had some knowledge of the inheritance of various major sects in the world of cultivation. The names of sects also had their own rules. For example, why the Qingcheng Sect to which she belonged was called a sect, and why the Jinling Sect was called a sect, both had very strict rules.

The leaders of the three religions are called ancestors, the direct descendants of the leaders are called clans, the branches of the same clan are called factions, the disciples of the same clan are called schools, and the mixed disciples of different sects are called gangs, associations, and alliances.

The great master Xuandu under Laojun never accepted any disciples and never established a direct immortal sect.

Humanism focuses on education, and respects the creed of "benefiting all things without contention, observing the world in a pure and inaction manner". It does not seek to establish a foundation, but only passes down Taoist scriptures.

The human cultivators who were fortunate enough to obtain the Taoist scriptures passed down by Laojun spontaneously founded their own sects, claiming to be the orthodox inheritance of the human religion.

The Qingcheng Sect, the Emei Sect, the Xuanyue Sect, the Laojun Mountain, the Qiyun Mountain, the Wuyi Sect... These sects of cultivation all belong to the Human Religion and all revere Laozi as their founder.

The Zi Yang Immortal Sect, Yu Ding Immortal Sect, Yun Xiao Immortal Sect, Jin Ting Immortal Sect, Kong Dong Immortal Sect and Kun Lun Immortal Sect were all sects founded by the direct descendants of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect. Due to the outstanding realm of their founders, the Chan Sect became famous after the Conferred God Battle, and after the war it was also awarded the credit for supporting the establishment of the Heavenly Court, so its power developed very rapidly.

The Kongdong Immortal Sect and the Kunlun Immortal Sect are superior to all other sects, especially the Kunlun Immortal Sect, which is the core place of Yuanshi Tianzun's teachings, and no one in the world dares to disobey his orders.

Only the four major Xianjiao sects of Ziyang, Yuding, Yunxiao and Jinting participated in this exploration of the secret realm. Disciples from Kongdong and Kunlun didn't even bother to join in the fun.

Looking at the world of cultivation, although there are many and diverse human sects, they are generally small sects with only dozens of disciples. There are only six major sects in the orthodox sect, but they are all giants with more than a thousand disciples.

The Lishan Immortal Sect and the Jinling Sect are called sects because the Holy Mother Wu Dang and the Holy Mother Jinling are the direct disciples of the Master Tongtian. However, the declining Jinling Sect no longer has any immortals in charge, so the word "immortal" cannot be added to the sect's title.

The founder of Qingcheng Sect was a casual cultivator who accidentally acquired Laojun's inheritance after the great catastrophe of Conferred Gods. His foundation was too shallow compared to those of the major immortal sects, and he was not even sure whether he could get the official recognition of Laojun.

But even so, small sects of the Human Sect also have the advantages of small sects, that is, they have strong cohesion, and the emotional bonds between masters and disciples are much closer than those of large sects.
