Getting Zhong Ming a Job
"Master, now is not the best time to upgrade. Please confirm whether you wish to upgrade."
A system notification sounded.
"Not the optimal time to upgrade?"
Lu Changzhi was slightly taken aback, then realized something.
I opened the system and took a look:
"Hmm? Xiao Ye's Tongtong... isn't it upgraded yet?"
"Yes, Master."
The system responded.
"How much longer?"
"About two days."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi nodded:
"If that's the case, then let's wait two more days."
With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi temporarily abandoned his plan to improve his cultivation.
Since both involve improving cultivation levels, it's natural to rely on the system to maximize its advantages.
Has the investigation into Zhou Yibi's matter already begun?
Lu Changzhi asked a question.
"It has already begun."
Lu Changzhi nodded.
I looked up at the sky; it was already past noon.
"It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."
With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi made his decision immediately.
Go to sleep now!
Inside the house.
Zhong Ming finished his cultivation, opened his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in them.
"As expected of the tomb of the Saint Emperor Realm expert, this excavation was absolutely worthwhile!"
Zhong Ming's eyes were filled with excitement.
After reaching the Saint Realm, the return of cultivation points from grave digging has become much slower than before.
This time, the tomb of the Saint Emperor allowed him to advance from the Saint Realm Eighth Layer to the Saint King Realm Second Layer in one fell swoop.
This feeling of leaping forward to a higher level.
Very satisfied.
"It seems we still need to excavate more high-quality tombs of powerful individuals."
Zhong Ming said softly.
Now that he has advanced to the Saint King Realm, the cultivation points he could gain from digging up Saint King Realm tomb would be quite limited.
"However, the tomb of the Saint Emperor is extremely rare, and finding it will be a troublesome matter."
Zhong Ming gently shook his head.
This time, he was lucky; he just happened to be there.
"Oh, right."
Zhong Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he entered the system.
I pick up my pen and begin to write:
"System, now that I've reached the Saint King Realm, how much has my detection range increased?"
Then.
Zhong Ming then waited.
One breath... two breaths... Sanxi...
In the blink of an eye.
Ten breaths passed.
Zhong Ming stared at the message, his brows furrowed, his face filled with uncertainty.
How come even the "read" status is gone?
After waiting a while longer, Zhong Ming gently shook his head:
"He's probably busy with something important."
Rejecting his thoughts, Zhong Ming got up and walked outside.
A moment later.
Lu Changzhi's residence.
"Master?"
Zhong Ming tried to speak.
As soon as the voice faded, the door opened by itself, and Lu Changzhi's voice came through:
"Come in."
"But what's wrong?"
After Zhong Ming entered, Lu Changzhi asked a question.
"Does Master know if there are any large tombs nearby?" Zhong Ming didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"A large tomb, perhaps?" Lu Changzhi murmured.
He only started paying attention to this kind of information after he took Zhong Ming in as a disciple.
To say what I know so far.
It's probably what I inquired about with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion earlier.
Suddenly.
An idea flashed through Lu Changzhi's mind.
Zhong Ming has a penchant for grave robbing, and he even gains benefits from it.
In that case, there is a type of job that would be very suitable for the sect:
Protect the way.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi looked at Zhong Ming and said:
"Our sect has an elder who is in charge of such matters. When we get back, I'll ask you for a position there. You should be able to get some useful information from there."
He did want to take Zhong Ming with him to dig.
However, a grave can only be excavated once, which is rather unavoidable.
"A sect even has an ancestor who specializes in grave robbing?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ming's face showed some disbelief.
Does the Five Symbols Sect I joined really have such a wide range of businesses?!
"No."
Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:
"This is not grave robbing, but rather protecting the Way, taking its lineage so that the Way may be passed on."
Zhong Ming was taken aback upon hearing this, then a look of realization appeared on his face, and he said:
"Disciple understands."
After speaking, Zhong Ming bowed again:
"Then I'll trouble you, Master. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Lu Changzhi nodded, and then Zhong Ming left.
"This could be considered recruiting a special forces disciple."
Lu Changzhi shook his head and smiled.
With a thought, he entered the system.
Then, Lu Changzhi took out the Unsealing Key and began to ponder it.
When I first received this Unsealing Key, I didn't feel that it was anything special; my strongest impression was that it was ancient and rustic.
Perhaps it's because of my improved level of understanding now.
Looking at it again, you can clearly perceive many things that were previously imperceptible.
"Let's study it first and see if we can come up with any ideas."
He spoke softly, Lu Changzhi fell into deep thought.
Instead of passively waiting for it to be activated, we should explore whether it can be activated proactively.
Furthermore, if all parties compete for it together, it will not only cause chaos but also be more rushed.
If there were a way to avoid the involvement of other parties, things would certainly be much more comfortable.
The next two days.
Lu Changzhi became engrossed in studying the system.
During that time, I took some time to contact Ancestor Liang and tell him the general situation.
Assigning tasks was naturally not difficult.
More hands make the work easier.
Zhong Ming's employment problem was thus resolved.
Xiang Clan.
Xiang Qingcang returned to the Xiang Clan.
"During this period, the Xiang Clan must be on high alert and prepared to deal with any unexpected situations."
Xiang Qingcang looked at Xiang Ge:
"The Cang Clan in the previous secret realm lost a Five Elements Sacred Physique and a Six Paths Saint Venerable expert in one fell swoop, they will definitely not let this go easily."
"Send a few members of your clan to search this Azure Billows Continent and keep a close eye on the Cang Clan's reactions and movements."
"Also, and this is something you excel at, make good use of this incident to strengthen the ties between your interests and those of other forces. If there is any war later, try to have countermeasures in place so that they cannot stand idly by."
A well-organized and orderly arrangement.
Xiang Ge felt quite reassured upon hearing this.
With my father around, even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Moreover, Heavenly Dao is now on the side of the Xiang Clan.
"Father, rest assured, everything is already being arranged," Xiang Ge replied.
Xiang Qingcang glanced at Xiang Ge and instructed him:
"These matters must not be taken lightly. The Cang Clan can provide six Saint Venerable as companions; their full strength should not be underestimated."
Xiang Qingcang looked outwards, his expression somewhat solemn.
If this incident triggers a chain reaction, that would be the most worrying thing.
If this matter is not handled carefully, it could very well become a difficult test for the Xiang Clan.
However, if one does not accept what Heaven has given, one will surely suffer the consequences, as evidenced by the way Heavenly Dao annihilated the young man from the Cang Clan.
This incident was unavoidable.
The Azure Billows Continent.
Heavenly Dao Divine Hall.
The towering buildings point straight to the sky, seemingly connecting heaven and earth into one.
The patriarch of the Cang Clan, Cang Chen, walked step by step to the front of the Divine Hall.
After standing still, he looked at the imposing building in front of him, took a deep breath, and said:
"Cang Hao, the young patriarch of the Cang Clan and inheritor of the Five Elements Sacred Physique, was killed by the Heavenly Dao of the Five Continents Domain. We humbly request that the Heavenly Dao Divine Decree to avenge this humiliation, and all the spoils of war shall be returned to the Divine Hall."
