Immortal of Eternal Life and Endless Ages

Chapter 13 Zheng Family Retainers (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Water Cloud Turtle...

Fang Sheng's heart moved.

He had never heard of this kind of monster before, so it was a good opportunity for him to go back and test the ability of Daoguo.

"Thank you very much."

He picked up the jade box and left, leaving only his back in Zheng Qiubo's eyes.

Return to Qingfenglin Dojo.

Fang Sheng closed the door tightly and opened the jade box again.

The box was filled to the brim with forty blue and red waste pills.

"absorb!"

Swish!
The blood color on the waste pill faded quickly, and the pill gradually turned into water blue, as glittering as waves, giving off an alluring feeling.

If it weren't for the unusually strong fishy smell it emitted.

Fang Sheng probably couldn't even tell that this was a waste pill.

He put the jade box away and immersed his mind completely in the Green Lotus of Samsara.

On the lotus platform.

A new lotus pattern has appeared.

[Water Cloud Turtle Dao Fruit·Cultivation in Progress]

【Progress: 8/100】

[Effect: The blood of ordinary people, who are born ignorant, can enhance their water nature and realize the special methods of water repelling, water shield, and breath control.]

The moment I saw this lotus pattern.

Fang Sheng was stunned for a long time.

"What is the origin of this turtle?!"

"The Ordinary Bone Bloodline actually has four effects!"

Moreover, it has two more unique methods than the Fire Fox Dao Fruit!
Water repellent, water shield, breath suppression...

Obviously, they are all very functional spells.

Especially the water shield, you can never have too many of these defensive spells.

The same goes for the remaining two. It is better to know them than not to know them.

After a while.

The sense of surprise brought by the Taoist fruit gradually faded away.

Fang Sheng finally remembered an extremely crucial thing:

"What a pity, I am practicing the Spirit Fire Sutra..."

"As a fire-based technique, my advantage lies in controlling fire spiritual power. Controlling other spiritual powers would be very awkward."

For example, Fang Sheng has only just started the art of controlling clouds and rain, and can only use his own magic power to cast spells.

It’s because water spiritual power is difficult to control.

The water nature blessing of the Water Cloud Turtle Dao Fruit.

It cannot be said that it is useless, only that its effect is limited.

Before, he wanted to practice water or wood-based skills, but he had no chance to choose.

It's the same this time.

He had no say on what kind of essence and blood was inside the waste pill.

"Let's save this fruit for now. Who knows, it might be useful someday."

"Besides, even if I can't use any of the effects, it's worth it to be able to increase my spiritual roots."

Ultimately, spiritual roots are the most important.

Next.

Fang Sheng continued to maintain the frequency of "refining" the waste pills once every seven days.

What Zheng Qiubo said before was correct.

After taking on two more waste pill missions.

Fang Sheng found out.

Over the years, all the waste pills accumulated by the Zheng family have been refined by him.

The change in Daoguo progress is not that big.

[Fire Fox Dao Fruit: 12/100]

[Water Cloud Turtle Dao Fruit: 24/100]

"However, cultivating these two kinds of Dao Fruits is still much faster than cultivating the Dao Fruits of the human race."

"Up to now, the human race's Dao Fruit has just reached the sixteenth level."

Fang Sheng couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"According to what Miss Qiubo said, there will be another task of refining waste pills. But we have to wait patiently, and the number of waste pills will not be as much as before."

To put it bluntly, when the Zheng family's alchemist can refine a useless pill, he will have a chance to survive.

In this regard, Fang Sheng could only hope that Zheng family's alchemist would not be so skilled.

Alas, those alchemists only need to concentrate on refining the elixir, but he needs to consider a lot...

……

In the blink of an eye.

Nearly a year and a half has passed.

It has been two years since Fang Sheng and other immortal seedlings came to the world of immortal cultivation.

If before, they had just adapted to life in the Zheng family.

Now, I can say that I have integrated into this place.

The Zheng family has a decent family tradition and is on the rise. There are no troubles in the family. It is difficult for people to have a bad impression of this place.

There were even immortals who got married in Ziyan Valley.

tonight.

Fang Sheng and Zhao Miaoyan had just attended the wedding of an immortal Miao.

Walking with other immortal seedlings on the way back to the dojo.

"Ah He is such a lucky kid!"

"That girl's father is a retainer of the Zheng family!"

"If he marries that girl, Ah He can work 30 years less!"

"Unlike us poor people..."

Zhao Miaoyan crossed his hands and folded them behind his head.

Over the past year or so, he has become much more pessimistic.

Zhao Miaoyan kept expressing his feelings:
“Being a hired worker is comfortable, but I really can’t see a way forward…”

Fang Sheng walked beside him without saying a word.

Although I don't agree with Zhao Miaoyan's pessimism, there is nothing wrong with his words.

Being a hired worker in the Zheng family, no, being a hired worker in any force, would not have a future.

Fang Sheng is also thinking about the future.

"Brother Fang, do you think I should apply for overseas posting in three years? I heard that I can receive a sum of spirit stones every month then..."

"Too dangerous."

Fang Sheng only replied with four words.

After working for the Zheng family for five years, these employees can apply to be assigned to various Zheng family properties.

The treatment will be greatly improved.

Unlike in Ziyan Valley, there are only a pitiful ten kilograms of spiritual rice every month.

This can be said to be the only way out for these mortal immortal seedlings.

Of course, opportunities and risks coexist.

There is no such safe environment as Ziyan Valley outside.

"That's right. Out there, you never know when you might run into those damn Tribulation Cultivators."

Zhao Miaoyan withdrew his thoughts in disappointment.

Fang Sheng looked up at the moon and suddenly said:
"Ah He's father-in-law is a retainer of the Zheng family..."

"Well, what happened?"

Zhao Miaoyan didn't react for a moment.

Fang Sheng said:

"I was wondering, what are the criteria for the Zheng family to recruit retainers?"

The retainers are a bit like higher-level hired workers, but they can come and go freely and are not restricted by the Zheng family.

Zhao Miaoyan understood immediately.

He looked around and lowered his voice:
"Brother Fang, do you want to be a retainer?"

"I asked Ah He before, and he said that his father-in-law was a first-class mid-level talisman master who specialized in making talismans for the Zheng family."

"More than that, I don't know."

……

The next few days.

Fang Sheng began to inquire about the news of the retainers.

Soon I learned from Zheng Qiubo that the Zheng family recruits disciples based on their ability to cultivate the various arts.

As long as a cultivator masters any one of the immortal cultivation skills and reaches the middle level of the first stage, he has the opportunity to become a retainer of the Zheng family.

"Whether it's drawing talismans, forming formations, or refining equipment and brewing wine, as long as it's beneficial to the family, it's fine."

"Even if it's alchemy, it's fine!"

"Alchemy?"

Fang Sheng couldn't help but be surprised. The Zheng family was originally a family of alchemists, and they actually recruited alchemists as their disciples.

"Uh-huh!"

Zheng Qiubo nodded seriously and counted on his fingers:
"Even within our clan, there are only a dozen or so alchemists, including three top-grade alchemists and five mid-grade alchemists. That's all."

"In addition to the retainers, there are three other guest officials in the family, all of whom are cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi Refining..."

Fang Sheng probably understood.

The retainers are technical talents, while the guest officials are the thugs who keep the place under control.

Of course, if you possess a top-notch skill, you can also become a guest of the Zheng family.

But the Zheng family couldn't recruit such talents.

"Miss Qiubo, how do you recruit retainers?"

"Before each Spirit Testing Conference, a competition will be held within the family, and the assessment of the retainers will also be held at the same time..."

Zheng Qiubo explained it in great detail.

Fang Sheng listened carefully:

"Thank you, Miss Qiubo."

"You're welcome. Brother Fang, do you want to take on a mission today? The alchemy room has delivered a batch of new waste pills. I'll keep the mission for you."

"……it is good."

The sky is vast, the earth is vast, and the fruit of the Tao is the greatest.
