What’s there to steal? People?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss… are we really just three people here?” Zhang Fan began to reconsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, there were more than three people cleaning the stairwell alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really cultivate here and advance to the [High Skill] stage sooner!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Zhang Fan had begun to doubt Brother Pojie’s recommendation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This must be the new colleague.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind; Zhang Fan turned and saw a tall, beautiful woman entering—dressed in crisp professional attire, lightly made-up, her lovely face flawless, her glasses adding a touch of commanding elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s Wen He… handles logistics and deliveries,” Bai Buran said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deliveries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen He smiled sweetly: “When it’s busy, the new colleague joins in too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have to deliver too? I came here to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not just deliveries…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhang Fan could finish, Wen He gently interrupted: “Cars need fuel, people need to eat—as long as you’re not dead, you work…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When it’s busy, even mourning for the dead as a filial son happens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Wen He smiled sweetly, as if encouraging the new colleague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mourning for the dead? Aren’t we a cultural limited company? Why do we even do this?” Zhang Fan felt increasingly uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely because we’re culturally limited—we do everything,” Wen He explained gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If a customer buys a white banner, paper money, and a mansion, we have to offer some value-added service,” Bai Buran added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way… Fanfan, fill this out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wen He turned and brought over a document, placing it thoughtfully before Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Employment contract?” Zhang Fan glanced at it instinctively—and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t an employment contract—but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Death Accident Insurance!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan stared at Wen He; this company was riddled with oddities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First day on the job, no employment contract—just death accident insurance!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every employee who’s died in our company knows: dying at work is common. You’ve got to leave something for the family,” Wen He said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I hear that right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the words left her mouth than a sheet of white paper shot violently from her slender fingers, flickering into a white blur that whistled past Zhang Fan’s ear—then, like a blade, it plunged straight into the adjacent desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If something like that happens, half your head’s gone,” Wen He smiled faintly, gently stroking her long fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivator…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s gaze sharpened as he scanned Wen He, Bai Buran, and Yu Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Brother Pojie recommended this company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone here was a cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhenwu Mountain vouched for you, asked me to look after you… but I run a business—I don’t feed idlers,” Bai Buran spoke bluntly, with no concealment. “I understand,” Zhang Fan replied, grasping the meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhenwu Mountain told me you just entered the path—I need to test your mettle. Consider it your onboarding assessment,” Bai Buran said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan took a deep breath; since returning from Zhenwu Mountain, he’d cultivated for some time and wanted to test his progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he placed the Death Accident Insurance form on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go to the rooftop,” Bai Buran gestured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, they stood on the rooftop—empty and open, perfect for combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not very friendly to test the new colleague like this,” Wen He hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Wen He, don’t hurt him,” Yu Fu said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More latest popular novels at \u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen He pouted, helplessly spread her hands, looked at Zhang Fan, and offered an apologetic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll hold back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had she spoken than the sharp clack of high heels rang out—the wind howled, whipping at their faces; Zhang Fan’s eyes flew wide as Wen He appeared before him, her slender hand striking like a dragon or snake emerging from its lair, aimed straight for his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hn!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan froze—Wen He’s movement now seemed unbearably slow to his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same instant, Zhang Fan dropped low, slipping like a serpent away ten meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid’s speed isn’t that of a beginner,” Yu Fu raised an eyebrow, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such speed couldn’t be achieved by ordinary physical conditioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this single evasion placed him among the top tier of [Qi Skill] cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His internal alchemy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Buran’s eyes narrowed slightly, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internal alchemy, in the dual cultivation of nature and life, gathers medicinal essence, reverses true yang, strengthens the nascent soul, and simultaneously nourishes the physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Zhang Fan—he cultivates the [Southern and Northern School Source] method, erecting a furnace within his body: the cauldron above, the stove below, heaven and earth inverted, water and fire intermingled; heart-fire burns below, kidney-water boils, steam rising continuously into limbs and organs, saturating and nourishing the flesh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the phenomenon known as [Refining Essence into Qi]: essence transforms into qi thus…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi permeates everywhere—nourishing the five zang and six fu organs, blood, skin, muscles, bones, even down to the cellular level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, as the nascent soul grows, the body transforms too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the cultivation of the [Qi Skill] stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Zhang Fan’s current physical condition shows tremendous progress in this stage—stronger than when he was at Zhenwu Mountain by more than tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his nascent soul’s yang energy is abundant and his body sufficiently hardened, he can begin practicing spells and advance to the [Spell Apprentice] stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen He missed her strike but didn’t frown; instead, she smiled warmly in encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the Qi Skill stage, Fanfan’s reached the peak… If so, I’ll go all out now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Wen He’s lips curled slightly into a gentle smile; she lifted her hand and removed her glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a fierce wind surged, lifting her skirt and stirring her black hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Daoist lineages are countless—I cultivate the Divine Calamity lineage!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every mortal is born with a destiny, bearing divine calamities in their birth chart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold voice, like clashing weapons, erupted with lethal force, echoing across the chilly, silent rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1126,"2026-06-19T21:05:40.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5da21d6ec8b266cdfe8d8de8e4d881148f205d5f4476361585c177e6cc5759fc","pure-yang-chapter-25","pure-yang-chapter-23",520,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpure-yang-cover.jpg"]
