Chapter 134: Recruitment Fair

For most ordinary people living in Qian City, whether or not there are immortals is completely irrelevant.

After all, those like Luo Congwen who spend their days thinking about cultivating immortality and visiting the Dao are in the minority; what they want is simply to be full, to be warm, and to earn money...

In the days since the Beggar Sect arrived, the people of Qian City have lived very happily and joyfully.

In the past, beggars always asked for money, but after the Beggar Sect arrived, the beggars became the ones scattering money.

No one dislikes these beggars.

As for the advertisements brushed onto the walls, who cares?

A wall that can be exchanged for money is a good wall...

The people of the Beggar Sect are busy cultivating, soliciting business, and putting up advertisements; they have no time at all to harass the common people.

Therefore, the common people have only affection for them, not resentment.

The players come from the Real World, are full of talent, and are very proficient in this set of promotional tactics.

What's more, most of them were influenced by Lin Bai in Jiamu City, so they don't need Lin Bai to worry at all, and they handle things perfectly.

The gold-master father behind them has plenty of money; if the scene they set up is too small, the gold-master father will inevitably be dissatisfied.

Therefore.

Whether it is the recruitment fair or Lin Bai's Flaw exhibition, the venue layout is quite luxurious and exquisite.

The promotion for the first recruitment fair of the Cultivation World was spread out the moment the Beggar Sect received the news.

What the Beggar Sect wants is popularity.

Only with popularity can there be business.

There is going to be a live broadcast on the day of the recruitment fair, so naturally, the grander the scene, the better.

In just a few days.

The fame of the Beggar Sect's leader Lao Mi, the Weapon Refinement master, the madman, and other main cadres has already surpassed Lin Bai's.

Not only sects like Hundred Flowers Valley, but even the common people of Qian City know their names.

There are martial arts schools and merchants who even want to send the children of their families into the Beggar Sect for training.

The Beggar Sect turns no one away.

Lin Bai wants to be a hands-off manager, and why wouldn't Lao Mi and the others want the same?

With natives volunteering to join, it would be a waste not to use them.

With the continuous growth of the Beggar Sect and the expansion of Lao Mi's fame.

The tasks of the Chief Supporting Role System are being completed one after another.

Lin Bai's Qi Luck Value is rising all the way.

By this time, the big brother's sect can finally be considered well-trained, having embarked on the path of automated production, and no longer needing Lin Bai to worry.

After a few days of fermentation, almost every commoner in Qian City knows that the immortal cultivation sects are going to recruit people, and they also know about the existence of the Heavenly Descended.

Under the operation of the Beggar Sect, the high and mighty cultivation sects have unveiled their mysterious veil to the secular world for the first time.

Clever businessmen have started setting up stalls to trade outside the recruitment fair venue; those with ideals also seem to see an opportunity, thinking of taking the chance to mix into the ranks of the Heavenly Descended to see if they can join an immortal cultivation sect; there are also people from large families who have taken a fancy to the Beggar Sect's marketing ability and have taken the initiative to come to their door to ask them to endorse their products...

In short.

As the recruitment fair approaches, Qian City has instantly become lively.

The next day.

The recruitment fair unveiled its mysterious veil.

A huge banner hung across the main gate, with "Smooth Shampoo First in the City Heavenly Descended Recruitment Fair" written on it;

Hot air balloons made of sheepskin pulled long banners floating outside the recruitment fair venue, and each banner hung the name of a sponsor:

"Natural Nutritious Good Milk Mu Ming wishes the recruitment fair a perfect opening"

"Atmospheric Dual-Engine Family Car wishes the recruitment fair smooth sailing"

"Langyuan Wine Industry wishes the Qian City recruitment fair a successful holding"

"Ancient Method Refined Heavenly River Peanut Oil wishes the recruitment fair a perfect opening"

"Chaoyuan Sword Sect welcomes every Heavenly Descended to join"

"Hundred Flowers Valley..."

Not only that.

There are also many local advertisements on the banners:

"The safest Huxing Escort Agency wishes the recruitment fair a perfect success"

"Zhou Family Silk Shop wishes the recruitment fair a perfect holding"

Under the unremitting efforts of the Beggar Sect Disciples, their advertising business has finally expanded to the locals.

After local wealthy merchants joined the ranks of advertising, the Beggar Sect's financial situation became increasingly healthy.

With projects and sources of wealth, it is truly a two-way harvest.

There is also the money secretly bribed by Hundred Flowers Valley and Chaoyuan Sword Sect to make the Beggar Sect Disciples do their best, which has also made every Beggar Sect Disciple earn a fortune, and the smiles on their faces have never stopped...

Lin Bai naturally made every banner a Flaw; even a mosquito's leg is meat, and making one thing a Flaw means one more day of Internal Energy.

In these few days, just the things made into Flaws at the recruitment fair and the exhibition have given him forty or fifty more years of Internal Energy.

Under Lin Bai's instruction, every chair in the exhibition is a Flaw.

The Beggar Sect has prepared Flaw souvenirs for every player entering the recruitment fair, and even printed a large number of Flaw flyers to promote in Qian City, as well as the exhibits specially made into Flaws at the exhibition...

Many hands make light work.

A large number of items with Flaws were manufactured, and Lin Bai's Internal Energy rose rapidly; coupled with the Internal Energy value contributed daily by Deng Li Buduo, his total Internal Energy was now nearly about to break through two hundred years.

Basically, all Martial Arts could be squandered wantonly, without worrying that his Internal Energy would be exhausted.

……

The financial backers gained popularity, the Beggar Sect gained money, and what Lin Bai gained was growth and Internal Energy.

The major sects gained the Heavenly Descended, the Qian City City Lord increased tax revenue, and the commoners of Qian City gained a large amount of Pleasure Value and job opportunities……

Everyone got what they needed.

A large-scale job fair drove powerful economic flow; it is unknown how many parties won.

Of course.

Where there are winners, there are losers.

Huilong Temple, which had dealt a heavy blow to Lin Bai, did not display a single lonely advertisement.

Looking at the other lively sects, Qingling Zhenren's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; with his aloofness and arrogance, he naturally disdained to create a banner himself to hang outside the job fair; he could not afford to lose that face.

The players acted according to their own whims and would not care about any Heavenly Dao Sect or Huilong Temple; if they dared to stretch their claws toward Shopkeeper Lin, they had to be prepared to be retaliated against.

They even planned that after they grew stronger, they would go in one go to overturn Huilong Temple!

……

It took players from Jiamu City less than two days to travel to Qian City, and the other Basic Cities were about the same.

Therefore, the large-scale arrival of players would be on the second day.

Lin Bai mingled among the players, eavesdropped on some inside information, and then leisurely returned to the Beggar Sect branch with the little fox to upgrade his Storage Bracelet.

The items rewarded by the system were all perfect; having conquered the most difficult array diagrams, the rest was just repetitive manual labor.

Most of the Beggar Sect disciples were busy at the job fair and the exhibition, so the Beggar Sect branch was much quieter, with only a few people with high martial prowess standing guard.

Without the disturbance of noisy human voices, and with high-grade materials delivered to his door by various sects.

Lin Bai easily crafted a second Storage Bracelet, and then took out the six-piece Weapon Refinement set to upgrade the first Storage Bracelet.

With a sixty percent success rate, plus his super high Qi Luck Value, Lin Bai did not expend much effort to upgrade the bracelet to the thousand-person level.

The increase in players meant that the uncontrollability of risks was increasing; heaven knows what kind of characters existed among the players, so making some precautions in advance was never wrong.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

Guo Yuan sighed with emotion: "Zhao, Lin Bai is a lucky star!"

The scholar from the Immortal Supervision Department, who had the most contact with the Beggar Sect, sighed along: "It is not just Lin Bai, but also the Heavenly Descended of the Beggar Sect; every one of them has many whimsical ideas. If they could be guided to serve the country, it would be beneficial to the Taiyi Kingdom. It is a pity that most of the Heavenly Descended yearn more for cultivation, and it is unknown whether this is a blessing or a curse for the country. This subordinate can no longer see where the future is heading."

"There are always people who are unwilling to enter cultivation sects," Guo Yuan said, twisting his beard. "Those are the people we must win over. As for those who enter the Cultivation World, let them be. The Heavenly Descended are a test for us, but are they not also a test for those cultivation sects? Sooner or later, these Heavenly Descended will stir up a new great war between righteousness and evil, and the fall of the Cultivation World as a result may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"What the Lord says is very true."

The scholar looked up at the City Lord and smiled in agreement.

The Seven True Sects rode above the laws of the nation; whether it was the royal family of the Taiyi Kingdom or the Taichu Kingdom, they had been dissatisfied with them for a long time, but helplessly, the Cultivation World and the royal family were too deeply intertwined, and cultivators had vast magical powers, making it impossible to eradicate them.

This time.

With the Heavenly Descended entering the world, how could the royal family not have thought of borrowing their momentum to change the situation where the Cultivation World stood high above……

Actually, it was not just the scholar.

There was simply no one in this world who could see the future trend clearly; everything they did was nothing more than taking a gamble.

……

The second day.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers.

The job fair and the exhibition opened simultaneously.

Lin Bai was fully armed and arrived at the job fair early.

When he arrived, the job fair venue was already filled with spectators.

That's right, in order to generate revenue and maintain order, the Beggar Sect added spectator seats to the job fair and even sold tickets.

Even so, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the Qian City commoners.

Even though the "sold out" sign for tickets was hung up, the commoners still surrounded the outside until it was impassable.

Fortunately, Guo Yuan mobilized the City Guard in time to maintain order, so no one dared to storm the venue.

As for the Flawed Item Exhibition across the way, at Lin Bai's request, there were no tickets; those who could not get into the job fair venue naturally turned to the free Flawed Item Exhibition.

The required number of people was gathered in a short while.

Lin Bai easily harvested a new reward—Great Demon Solution—Head-Splitting Technique.

The Wanwu Youque System followed up by launching a new task: 【Carry forward the Flaw, let 49 people become Flaw promoters…… Reward; Great Demon Solution: Hand-Splitting Technique】

Hand-Splitting Technique?

The system was in the rhythm of wanting to dismantle him!

Lin Bai was also speechless at the rewards of the Wanwu Youque System; after receiving the reward of the Head-Splitting Technique, he understood what the Head-Splitting Technique was.

It was just like the Head-Flying Technique of Shen Gongbao, allowing the head to act independently; a very useless technique.

After all.

His head did not know Martial Art.

Flying out was useless for anything other than biting people, and it would be troublesome if caught by someone.

And the body that lost its head was still commanded by the head, but without vision to distinguish direction, the body also became useless.

Unless he had the ability of Xingtian in the future, being able to use his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth.

Or if he had spells like the Seventy-Two Transformations, where the body could grow a new head, then this Head-Splitting Technique might have some use……

And so on.

The Hand-Splitting Technique should be the same as the Head-Splitting Technique.

Within the field of vision, sending a hand out separately seems to have some use.

The Blacksmith's Hammer has a ninety percent chance to destroy an enemy's Dharma Treasure, but the drawback is that it is a melee weapon; however, if the hand is sent out, it becomes different, and the Blacksmith's Hammer instantly becomes a long-range weapon...

Lin Bai doubted.

The full set of the Great Demon Dissolution Manual could dismantle his body into pieces: splitting the head, splitting the hands, splitting the feet, splitting the body, splitting the...

As the techniques rewarded by the Wanwu Youque System become increasingly bizarre, Lin Bai feels that his future combat style will likely become more and more strange.

However, the occasion of a recruitment fair is clearly not suitable for doing missions; it won't be too late to do missions after dealing with today's matters, and finding forty-some promoters of Flaws is too easy.

The area of the recruitment fair is very large.

Righteous sects like the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, Medicine King Valley, and Hundred Flowers Valley occupy one side; villainous sects like the Blood Shadow Sect and Xuanli Sect occupy the other.

The two sides are clearly demarcated, ignoring each other, and the gazes occasionally cast toward one another carry a sense of Provocation.

Behind the Chaoyuan Sword Sect is a large ink wash painting:

The person in the painting flies by riding a Sword, ethereal and otherworldly like a Sword Immortal; behind him, ten thousand Swords fly together, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.

It is accompanied by a commentary:

The Sword specializes in attack; once a Sword is drawn, nothing can block it—slaying immortals, slaying demons, slaying monsters, slaying the injustices of the world.

Once a Sword is drawn, it splits mountains and severs seas.

Once a Sword is drawn, it slashes through the sun, moon, and stars.

Tong Cha looks at the ink wash painting behind him from time to time, his satisfaction overflowing in his expression; he twists his beard as if the Sword Immortal in the painting were himself.

Zhao Ang's face is a bit red, and he says uneasily, "Senior Brother, 'slashing through the sun, moon, and stars with one Sword'—isn't that bragging a bit too much?"

"What do you know? This is the highest realm of the Dao of the Sword." Tong Cha glares at him. "When Shopkeeper Lin spoke, he said 'slashing through the sun, moon, and stars with one blade of grass'—that is what you call bragging. This commentary is enough. The Poof Wind Sword was not given in vain. Once we return to the sect, I will have Master carve these words above the mountain gate to show the grandeur and brilliance of our Chaoyuan Sword Sect..."

Medicine King Valley.

Do you want to harvest the deepest Spiritual Power in the shortest amount of time?

Do you want to cultivate in the most relaxed way?

Do you want to be highly respected by the world?

Do you want to possess vast wealth?

Come to Medicine King Valley; here, there is everything you want.

Pop pills to cultivate...

Easily become an immortal.

Spirit Tool Pavilion.

No matter your ten thousand kinds of magic power, I can break it with one treasure.

Enter the Spirit Tool Pavilion, and you will possess the coolest portable Dharma Treasure.

When others are working hard to practice, you can already enjoy the happiness of smashing people with Dharma Treasures!

The sun and moon are the fire, the mountains and rivers are the furnace.

A weapon refiner might not be unable to become the number one in the world...

Hundred Flowers Valley.

Hundred Flowers has many beauties, the beautiful ones have faces like jade;

Are you dissatisfied with your appearance? Come to Hundred Flowers Valley, we will return you a perfect figure;

Being moved is not as good as being "shaped";

How is beauty not a kind of resource...

Join the Hundred Flowers Gate, beautiful senior sisters will personally wake you up.

Come to Hundred Flowers Valley; you might not necessarily harvest the world, but here, you will definitely harvest love!

Blood Shadow Sect;

Using blood as a guide;

Let the world feel the pain;

Xuanming Sect:

Join our Xuanming, there will be no more enemies ahead;

Every sect.

The Beggar Sect disciples have thoughtfully designed the most fitting promotional slogans for their sect's personality, each sentence tugging at the heartstrings, making people want to sign up and join immediately after seeing them.

Only on the table in front of Huilong Temple stands a lonely sign: "Huilong Temple Disciple Recruitment Office"

Behind the sign is the livid face of Qingling Daozhang, hands with bulging veins, and a cold, gloomy gaze...

The Heavenly Dao Sect behind Huilong Temple was originally the number one in the world, but at the recruitment fair, Huilong Temple has fallen into becoming the most inconspicuous sect.

The Daoists behind Qingling Daozhang all hang their heads, too embarrassed to face anyone.

It is too shameful.

……

Outside of the two parties.

There were also the Government's recruitment office and the Beggar Sect's recruitment point.

The slogan for the Government's recruitment office was plain and unadorned: Those without the heart for cultivation may join us; we may not be domineering or mighty, but with us, you have a nation as your backing...

As for the Beggar Sect's recruitment point, it was just like Huilong Temple, with a few words written on an empty table: Beggar Sect Disciple Registration Office.
