Hiring, the Underground Market
Rogue Person Baixiao was startled.
He didn't even sense Li Yunjing's approach.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Rogue Person Baixiao turned around and laughed, "Fellow Daoist, you startled me! What's the matter this time?"
Li Yunjing said in a low voice, "Come with me. This isn't the place to talk."
Li Yunjing turned and left.
Although Rogue Person Baixiao found it strange, he still followed.
Li Yunjing led Rogue Person Baixiao to a teahouse.
The tea sold in this teahouse is not a physical product.
However, it allows cultivators to taste the flavor.
Even the effects of the tea will be directly reflected to the cultivators.
This is a characteristic of the Carefree Heaven; no one has found the reason, they only know that it exists.
After ordering two cups of tea, Li Yunjing requested a soundproof private room.
Next, after the tea was served.
Li Yunjing looked at Rogue Person Baixiao.
"Does fellow Daoist know where in this Carefree Heaven one can hire people as helpers?" Li Yunjing asked.
Upon hearing this, Rogue Person Baixiao was surprised.
"Fellow Daoist, have you encountered trouble?"
Li Yunjing did not respond.
Rogue Person Baixiao smiled and said, "I was being nosy."
"However, regarding your question, fellow Daoist, I can tell you definitively..."
In the Carefree Heaven, there is indeed such a place where fellow Daoists can hire others.
Even Spirit Transformation High Person can be hired, as long as you can afford the Spirit Stone."
"Oh? Please take me there, fellow Daoist."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing immediately took out five Origin Essence from his pocket.
This Origin Essence is not a physical object; it can only be used within the Carefree Heaven.
However, the Origin Essence that Li Yunjing took out was the proof.
When leaving the Carefree Heaven, this Origin Essence will transform into a true Origin Essence and appear beside the cultivator.
When Rogue Person Baixiao saw the five pieces of Origin Essence, his eyes lit up.
"Alright, fellow Daoist, please follow me."
After carefully storing the five Origin Essence, Rogue Person Baixiao drank the tea in one gulp.
Li Yunjing also drank the tea.
He spent two Origin Essence the tea.
It would be a shame not to drink it.
After leaving the teahouse, Rogue Person Baixiao led Li Yunjing on a stroll through the streets.
Before long, Li Yunjing followed Rogue Person Baixiao to a shop called Worry-Relief Shop.
"The Worry-Relief Shop..."
Looking at the shop's name, Li Yunjing immediately recalled what happened last year.
Gao Jin also opened a Worry-Relief Shop," which dealt in corpses.
However, Gao Jin was an undercover agent of the Corpse Yin Cult.
They ran fast enough to avoid being caught by the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance.
There's also Worry-Relief Shop problems. Could there be a connection between the two?
With this question in mind, Li Yunjing entered the Worry-Relief Shop.
Rogue Person Baixiao gestured for Li Yunjing to be quiet.
He then went to the shopkeeper of the Worry-Relief Shop and whispered a few words to him.
The shopkeeper glanced at Li Yunjing, then said, "Come with me."
Li Yunjing then followed the shopkeeper to the backyard of the Worry-Relief Shop.
The innkeeper then opened the door to another room.
Then he turned to look at Li Yunjing and Rogue Person Baixiao.
"Go in."
Rogue Person Baixiao pulled Li Yunjing inside.
Stepping through the door, the world instantly transformed.
The room was Grotto-Heaven, actually a marketplace.
The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and arguing rose and fell in a cacophony.
"This is an underground market; you can't get in without an introduction," Rogue Person Baixiao.
"Your needs can be met over there."
Rogue Person Baixiao pointed in a direction.
They then walked in that direction, with Li Yunjing following closely behind.
Before long, they arrived at an open-air supermarket.
This large supermarket sells people and other living beings.
Li Yunjing felt as if he had entered a slave market where slaves were bought and sold.
Those creatures were standing, sitting, or lying down.
Ahead, a man resembling a slave owner was vigorously promoting the creatures behind him.
"Fellow Daoist, the beings here are all forced to sell themselves for various reasons."
If you take a fancy to someone, just go and talk to them.
You also don't need to worry about those people taking your money and not doing anything.
See those people shouting? They're all from the Dragon-Tiger Society.
The Dragon-Tiger Society is a specialized organization; those who sell themselves are entrusted to the Dragon-Tiger Society.
"If they take your money and don't do anything, just go to the Dragon-Tiger Society. Dragon-Tiger Society clean up your mess," Rogue Person Baixiao.
Li Yunjing nodded.
At this moment, someone walked towards Li Yunjing.
"Sir, are you in trouble? If you need anything, please feel free to speak with me, and I'll take care of resolving your problems."
This person bent over and lowered his head, adopting a very humble posture.
Li Yunjing didn't stand on ceremony and said directly:
Do you know about Grand View Mountain?
The man was stunned for a moment, but then he realized what was happening.
"I understand the place called Grand View Mountain, but I don't understand what you mean, sir."
"Devil Cultivator has appeared at Grand View Mountain, and the Heavenly Devil Sect Sect's Heaven-Chaos Star-Shifting Profound Devil Grand Formation has been set up, trapping some righteous cultivators."
I received a plea for help from a younger person, but I was alone and unable to provide assistance.
"So I thought I'd come and find some people to help me," Li Yunjing said softly.
"Ah!?"
Beside him, Rogue Person Baixiao exclaimed in surprise.
Is that true?
The name of the Heavenly Devil Sect was naturally well-known to Rogue Person Baixiao.
The formidable reputation of the Heaven-Chaos Star-Shifting Profound Devil Grand Formation is renowned far and wide.
But Rogue Person Baixiao couldn't understand why the Heavenly Devil Sect, which rarely showed its face, dared to be so high-profile now.
The person opposite Li Yunjing was also taken aback.
If I remember correctly, there should be an entrance to a Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm at Grand View Mountain.
It seems the Heavenly Devil Sect has found its opportunity...
Li Yunjing didn't want to waste words and asked, "Is it possible to send someone to help?"
The man snapped out of his daze, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Sir, yes, that's possible, but I need to find out their thoughts first."
Although they are under the control of my Dragon-Tiger Society, the Dragon-Tiger Society is not without humanity.
If they don't want to go, we naturally won't force them.
The man pointed to the monks who were selling themselves into servitude.
Li Yunjing never expected that the Dragon-Tiger Society so humane.
Nodding in agreement, Li Yunjing continued, "Of course, but I have one request: the closer the cultivator is to Grand View Mountain, the better."
The man nodded, then asked Li Yunjing to sit down to the side.
He then went to retrieve several Jade Slip.
"Sir, this list contains a complete list of cultivators who meet your requirements."
Li Yunjing picked up the Jade Slip and probed it with his Divine Sense.
Just as this person said.
It contains detailed information about the monks who sold themselves into servitude.
This includes the current area of activity of these monks.
Upon closer inspection, there were a total of thirty-five cultivators.
Among them, there were twenty-nine cultivators at the Golden Core Stage.
Of the remaining six, five are Nascent Soul, and the other is Spirit Transformation.
Li Yunjing is not considering Golden Core cultivators.
There are enough Golden Core cultivators trapped.
Li Yunjing examined the five Nascent Soul Cultivator closely.
Two of them were at the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage.
The remaining three are at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
After thinking it over, Li Yunjing decided to hire all five Nascent Soul cultivators.
As for the last one, the Spirit Transformation High Person...
Li Yunjing also wanted to hire him.
However, in the specific information about this Spirit Transformation High Person...
However, they directly wrote down the employment terms.
He needs a Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill.
This Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill is no small matter.
This pill is a supreme life-saving elixir.
If someone has only one breath left, taking this pill can save them.
Therefore, this elixir is extremely valuable.
However, the spirit medicine needed to refine the Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill are very difficult to find.
This has led to even Alchemist capable of refining the Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill...
They also couldn't produce the Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill.
This has resulted in a consistently very limited supply of the Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill.
This person wants the Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill.
Let's not even talk about whether it's even possible.
Even if Li Yunjing had it, he wouldn't be willing to give it to this person.
Wouldn't it be better to keep this top-grade elixir for yourself?
Unless Li Yunjing has extra Three-Lives Life-Restoring Pill.
