The Three Divisions Compete

Recruited by the Steward.

That would be soaring to the heavens.

Ordinary Apprentice.

Ordinary Disciple.

There's a fundamental difference between the two and the disciples under the Steward.

Not just in status, but in other aspects. Take commanding them for instance; ordinary managers couldn't command disciples under the Steward. Because they were the Steward's people, commanding them would be overstepping.

At this moment.

Li Ye felt as if his face had been slapped hard.

However, just as everyone thought Wen Jiu would nod without hesitation, Wen Jiu merely bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Steward Mu!"

Having lived two lives.

Wen Jiu knew too well the importance of following the right person.

In this cultivation world, if you don't follow the right person.

You won't get anywhere, and trouble will abound. Not to mention, you might even lose your life.

That's no small matter.

So Wen Jiu subconsciously looked at Wang Nian. As a third-generation immortal, Wang Nian knew many things that others didn't.

Take Mu Canglong's character for example. He didn't know, but Wang Nian definitely would.

Seeing Wen Jiu look at him, Wang Nian couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, thinking it wasn't a waste to spend those Yin Dispelling Talismans. "Young Wen, don't rush... I'll ask my second uncle later if he needs any manpower."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Mu Canglong's expression stiffened.

He knew who Wang Nian's second uncle was and the intention behind Wang Nian's words.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow."

Leaving those words behind, Mu Canglong waved his hand, taking the female cultivator's corpse with him, leaving only a fleeting sword light for everyone.

Soon.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Wang Nian also took Wen Jiu back, explaining as they flew on their swords, "Kid, don't misunderstand. I can't really introduce you to the Alchemy Room. Entry into the Alchemy Room is very strict. First and foremost, you need a low-grade wood-attribute Spiritual Root."

Wen Jiu suddenly realized, "I understand what you mean, Brother Wang."

"It's so much easier talking to smart people. Actually, our Flying Immortal Peak has seven branches: the Night Patrol Division, the Alchemy Room, the Talisman Room, the Artifact Refining Tower, the Spirit Farming Division, the Monster Slaying Division, and the Demon Suppressing Division. Once the news of you killing a Qi Refining Second Layer spy spreads, they'll definitely come to recruit you, so we need to wait and see who offers the highest price!"

Wang Nian chuckled slyly.

He was unusually excited.

It was as if he himself was being recruited.

Wen Jiu recalled Wang Nian's words in his mind, surprised that Flying Immortal Peak had so many branches.

He could understand the Alchemy Room and Talisman Room.

Monster Slaying Division.

Demon Suppressing Division.

Were they for dealing with monsters and demons?

Putting away his thoughts, Wen Jiu quickly expressed his thanks.

The importance of a good brother who helped break the information barrier was evident.

Without Wang Nian.

He would have definitely agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

"Don't mention it, this is what you deserve. You're an uninitiated disciple who's reached the Qi Refining Second Layer and single-handedly killed an outsider. You're the only one in nearly fifty years!" Wang Nian said this with considerable admiration and excitement.

The next morning.

Wen Ya came again with food.

This time, it was much more lavish than usual.

It was low-grade Spirit Rice.

An expensive item costing a hundred taels per jin, which ordinary people couldn't afford. It was something only the true disciples of Corpse Peak could barely afford.

As soon as she entered the house, Wen Ya recounted the sudden improvement in the Xu Family's situation, mentioning the manager who spoke up for her the most.

She didn't know who it was.

Nor did she know why.

Regarding this.

Wen Jiu smiled without speaking.

This was also a driving force for Wen Jiu to move forward.

To let his family live a better life.

While thanking Wang Nian, Wen Jiu shoveled the Spirit Rice into his mouth. He had to admit, even lower-grade Spirit Rice was rich in spiritual energy and had a delicate texture.

Returning to the Dead Corpse Land.

The Corpse Buriers obviously didn't know about last night's events. Although they respected him, it hadn't reached the point of fawning.

As soon as Wang Nian arrived, after taking a headcount, he dispersed everyone and then hurriedly pulled Wen Jiu outside.

"I'm telling you, your business spread throughout the side peak last night. Even though you have inferior Spiritual Roots and cultivate unorthodox paths, someone has taken notice of you!" Wang Nian added, emphasizing the last six words. "Demon Suppressing Division, Monster Slaying Division!"

"Let's go, let's go, everyone's waiting for you!"

Wang Nian rose on his sword, taking Wen Jiu towards the steward's office.

Before he could even ask a few more questions, Wen Jiu was hastily brought into the hall of the steward's office by Wang Nian.

There were three people in the hall.

Steward Mu from last night was there.

There were two others. One was glaring angrily, very burly, and wearing heavy red armor. A glance at him was enough to make one's heart pound.

The other person wore a green robe, was much smaller, but the aura he exuded was also quite intimidating.

If it weren't for his two lifetimes of experience and having seen major events, just based on their imposing presence and aura, Wen Jiu would have knelt on the spot.

"Not bad, your aura is steady and contained. It seems the Corpse Nurturing Art hasn't depleted too much of your lifespan and foundation." Before Wen Jiu could even bow, the burly man with the angry glare spoke first. Then he added, "Kid, how about joining my Demon Suppressing Division? I'll teach you the top-tier Qi Refining Cultivation Method, Demon Suppressing Art, and grant you one year of cultivation qualification in the Demon Flame Grotto!"

"You're quite generous..." The man in the green robe also spoke, unwilling to be outdone. "I am Li Qing, an executive of the Monster Slaying Division, representing the Monster Slaying Division. If you are willing to join my Monster Slaying Division, I will grant you the top-tier Qi Refining Cultivation Method, Monster Slaying Art, plus three years of cultivation in the Spirit Pool, which can perfectly compensate for the damage from your unorthodox path cultivation."

As he finished speaking.

The two exchanged glances.

Both showed hostility.

Wen Jiu smiled helplessly and quickly bowed in thanks. "Thank you both, executives, for your kindness. I am humbled... but I have one thing I don't understand. What do the Demon Suppressing Division and Monster Slaying Division do?"

"Slay monsters!"

Li Qing spoke first.

The burly man with the angry glare said proudly, "Eliminate demons and protect the righteous, slay demonic and unorthodox paths, and maintain the peace of the vast human world and Flying Immortal Peak!"

Wen Jiu cupped his fists and bowed again.

Then his gaze fell on Steward Mu Canglong of the Night Patrol Division, who had remained silent.

To be honest.

He didn't want to go to either of them.

Although he didn't know how good the offers from the two factions were, or how much the Demon Flame Grotto and Spirit Pool would help his cultivation.

He absolutely did not want to slay monsters or suppress demons.

He just wanted to quietly nurture corpses.

And quietly wait for the daily settlement.

Seeing this, Mu Canglong's cold expression softened considerably, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I can't offer you cultivation in a treasure land like the Demon Flame Grotto. The Night Patrol Division doesn't have that... But I can offer you the subsequent cultivation methods of the Yin Province Corpse Nurturing Art, one low-grade Corpse Artifact, and one low-grade Corpse Nurturing Bead."

As he finished speaking.

Before Wen Jiu could say anything, Li Qing spoke, "Fellow Daoist Mu, you're not even willing to teach him the Night Wind Art from the Night Patrol Division?"

The burly man with the angry glare also chimed in, "So stingy!"

Mu Canglong shot the two a cold look and retorted, "You two are generous, but what's the use? He has excellent talent in unorthodox paths, yet you want him to change his cultivation. Don't forget, he has inferior Spiritual Roots... If you're recruiting disciples, you must teach them according to their aptitude!"

The next moment.

The three began to argue.

Wang Nian, standing to the side, quickly pulled Wen Jiu away.

Away from the "battlefield."

About fifteen minutes later, the three stopped arguing, their faces flushed.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu quickly interjected, "Steward Mu, I'd like to ask one question. Can I continue to stay in the Dead Corpse Land?"

"You want to continue nurturing corpses here?"

Mu Canglong said with a red face.

Wen Jiu nodded.

Mu Canglong decisively nodded, "Of course, as long as you're willing, you can go anywhere within Flying Immortal Peak!"

"Thank you, Steward Mu." Wen Jiu bowed in greeting, then bowed to the other two. He changed the subject, "Two seniors, thank you for your appreciation, but I understand my own abilities. I can only cultivate unorthodox paths, so I choose the Night Patrol Division!"

As he finished speaking.

The other two still wanted to persist.

But Mu Canglong snatched the right to speak and forcefully ushered them out, giving the two no chance to dawdle.

With no other choice.

Li Qing and the other could only leave.

After seeing Li Qing and the other off, Mu Canglong left Wen Jiu with a parting word and also departed, "Come find me at the Night Patrol Division tomorrow!"

Mu Canglong left.

Wang Nian excitedly patted Wen Jiu's shoulder.

He was extremely happy.

However, he was also quite puzzled.

"Do you know what treasures the Demon Flame Grotto and the Spirit Pool are? Ordinary disciples need to make great contributions to cultivate inside, but you actually refused."

Wen Jiu didn't speak.

But at this moment, his resolve became even stronger.

In the sect.

When it's time to show off, one must show off.

But when it's time to cultivate peacefully, one must choose to cultivate peacefully.

Showing off is for moving up.

To obtain more resources.

A higher status.

To change one's own situation.

Peaceful cultivation is for survival.

The Demon Suppressing Division and Monster Slaying Division may have good treatment, but slaying monsters and demons will definitely result in significant casualties.

Cultivating to become an immortal.

If you're not alive, can you become an immortal?

With a daily settlement panel, why take risks.
