Shengui Changsheng: Start from Zhenwuwei and add some points to cultivate immortality

The middle-aged cultivator smiled and said, "My fellow Daoists, I am the deacon of the Sky Chamber of Commerce, my last name is Li. Today I saw you two refining spiritual tools and elixirs in the market, your skills are superb and amazing. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Chamber of Commerce? We are in need of talents like you two."

Fu Shaoping put down his teacup and asked calmly, "Deacon Li, what are the conditions for joining your Chamber of Commerce? What can we get from the Chamber of Commerce?"

Deacon Li nodded, obviously appreciating Fu Shaoping's straightforwardness. He slowly said, "The conditions for joining our Chamber of Commerce are not harsh. All you need is that you two have unique skills in refining equipment and alchemy, and are willing to work for the Chamber of Commerce. As for the treatment, the Chamber of Commerce will provide you with generous spiritual stones according to your contributions, as well as cultivation resources, secret manuals of exercises, and materials for high-level refining equipment and alchemy. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce will provide you with shelter to ensure your safety in the cultivation world."

After hearing this, Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with interest, but she did not rush to express her opinion. Instead, she asked: "Deacon Li, after we join the Chamber of Commerce, do we need to stay here for a long time? Or can we move freely?"

Deacon Li smiled and said, "The Chamber of Commerce will not restrict your freedom. You can choose to stay at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters or travel outside. You just need to complete the tasks assigned by the Chamber of Commerce regularly. Our Chamber of Commerce focuses on the cultivation of talents and will not restrict your development."

Fu Shaoping pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "Deacon Li, does the Chamber of Commerce have clear task assignments? For example, the specific requirements for refining equipment and alchemy?"

Deacon Li nodded and said, "Yes. The Chamber of Commerce will assign tasks based on your expertise, such as refining spiritual tools or elixirs of a certain grade, or assisting the Chamber of Commerce in completing some important transactions. Of course, the difficulty and reward of the tasks will also be adjusted according to your abilities. Our Chamber of Commerce values ​​fairness and will never let you do anything beyond your capabilities."

Nangong Wan looked at Fu Shaoping with a questioning look in his eyes. Fu Shaoping nodded slightly, and then said to Deacon Li: "Deacon Li, thank you for your kindness. We are willing to join the Sky Chamber of Commerce, but before that, we hope to understand the specific rules and task allocation methods of the Chamber of Commerce so that we can better serve the Chamber of Commerce."

Deacon Li smiled and said, "Of course. I will prepare a detailed Chamber of Commerce charter for you two, which will detail the Chamber of Commerce's rules, task allocation method, and remuneration. You two can read it carefully first. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other, then Fu Shaoping stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Deacon Li. We will seriously consider it and give you a reply as soon as possible."

Deacon Li nodded with satisfaction, and stood up to see the two of them out of the reception room. Before leaving, he said, "If you two need anything, you can always come to me. The door of the Sky Chamber of Commerce is always open to you."

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan walked on the streets of Fangshi, each with their own thoughts. Nangong Wan said softly, "Shaoping, what do you think about joining the Chamber of Commerce?"

Fu Shaoping pondered and said, "The Sky Chamber of Commerce is very powerful. After joining, we can not only obtain training resources, but also use the protection of the Chamber of Commerce to improve our strength. However, we need to study the Chamber of Commerce's charter carefully to ensure that we will not be too restricted."

Nangong Wan nodded and said, "I think so too. If the conditions are right, joining the Chamber of Commerce may be a good choice."

The two decided to go back to their residence to study the Chamber of Commerce's charter carefully before making a decision. In the setting sun, their backs were stretched out, as if carrying expectations and thoughts about the future.

After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan returned to their residence, they immediately began to carefully study the Tianqiong Chamber of Commerce's charter. They knew that joining the Chamber of Commerce was not just a simple cooperation, but an important decision related to the future path of cultivation. Therefore, the two conducted an in-depth discussion and analysis of each clause of the charter.

Fu Shaoping flipped open the charter and looked at the organizational structure of the Chamber of Commerce. The charter detailed the hierarchical division of the Tianqiong Chamber of Commerce, which was composed of the president, vice president, deacon and ordinary members. The president and vice president were responsible for the overall operation and decision-making of the Chamber of Commerce, while the deacon was responsible for the execution of specific affairs and the management of members. Ordinary members were assigned to different departments according to their expertise and contributions, such as the Equipment Refining Department, the Alchemy Department, the Trading Department, etc.

"It seems that the Chamber of Commerce has a clear organizational structure and a clear division of labor." Fu Shaoping pondered, "After we join, we should be assigned to the Equipment Refining Department and the Alchemy Department."

Nangong Wan nodded in agreement: "Yes, this way we can focus on our own expertise, while also cooperating with members of other departments to improve our overall strength."

The two continued to read on. The charter detailed the conditions for joining the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to having unique skills in refining equipment and alchemy, members also needed to pass the Chamber of Commerce's assessment to ensure that their abilities met the Chamber of Commerce's standards. In addition, members were required to sign a contract, promising to work for the Chamber of Commerce for a certain number of years and not to withdraw without permission during that period.

"The contract is for five years." Nangong Wan said softly, "Within five years, we need to complete a certain number of tasks for the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract."

Fu Shaoping frowned slightly: "Five years is not a short time, but it is not a long time either. The key is whether the difficulty and number of tasks are reasonable. If the tasks are too heavy, it may affect our progress in cultivation."

Nangong Wan nodded: "This does require careful consideration. However, the charter states that the difficulty and number of tasks will be adjusted according to the abilities of the members. The Chamber of Commerce values ​​fairness and will not let members do things beyond their abilities."

Fu Shaoping relaxed a little: "If that's the case, it's reasonable. We can choose the tasks that suit us according to our own situation."

Next, the two turned their attention to the treatment of the Chamber of Commerce. The articles of association clearly stated that the Chamber of Commerce would provide generous spiritual stone rewards based on the contributions of members, as well as cultivation resources, secret manuals of exercises, and materials for high-level refining of weapons and pills. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce would provide shelter for members to ensure their safety in the cultivation world.

"Cultivation resources and high-level materials are very important to us." Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with excitement, "With these, our cultivation speed will be greatly improved."

Fu Shaoping nodded: "Indeed, these resources are difficult to obtain in the outside world. Moreover, the protection of the Chamber of Commerce can also save us some trouble in the cultivation world."

Finally, the two studied the Chamber of Commerce's task allocation method. The charter states that the Chamber of Commerce will assign tasks based on members' expertise, such as refining spiritual tools or elixirs of a certain grade, or assisting the Chamber of Commerce in completing some important transactions. After completing the task, members can obtain corresponding contribution points, which can be exchanged for various resources within the Chamber of Commerce.

“The task allocation seems to be relatively flexible,” Fu Shaoping concluded. “We can choose tasks based on our own circumstances without being overly constrained.”

Nangong Wan nodded in agreement: "Yes, this way we can complete the tasks of the Chamber of Commerce and take care of our own cultivation. Generally speaking, the conditions for joining the Chamber of Commerce are reasonable." Fu Shaoping closed the charter, pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, we can consider joining the Chamber of Commerce. However, before that, we still need to confirm some details with Deacon Li, such as the specific content of the task and the exchange ratio of contribution points."

Nangong Wan smiled slightly: "I think so too. Let's go to Deacon Li tomorrow and clarify these issues."

The two smiled at each other, having already made a decision. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto the table, casting a layer of golden light on the charter.

After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan returned to their residence, they took a short rest and decided to go to the Chamber of Commerce to receive tasks. They knew that the purpose of joining the Chamber of Commerce was not only to obtain resources, but also to improve their strength by completing tasks. So, the next morning, the two came to the Sky Chamber of Commerce again.

In the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, many monks were busy accepting tasks. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan went straight to the task release area, where a huge jade plate was hung, with various tasks densely listed on it. A deacon stood next to the jade plate, answering questions for other monks.

The two walked forward, and the deacon saw that they were holding identity tokens, so he smiled and said, "You two are new members, right? You can check the tasks here. If you are interested, you can accept them directly."

Fu Shaoping nodded in thanks, and then he and Nangong Wan carefully checked the tasks on the jade board. There were many kinds of tasks, from refining spiritual tools and elixirs to escorting caravans and collecting materials. Each task was marked with the difficulty level and contribution points.

Nangong Wan's eyes rested on a task to refine a mid-level elixir, and he said softly, "Shao Ping, this task requires refining the 'Qingxin Pill', the difficulty is mid-level, and the contribution points are thirty points. We can give it a try."

Fu Shaoping looked at the task description and nodded, "We have experience in refining the 'Qingxin Pill' before, and the success rate is relatively high. It is indeed a good choice to accept this task."

After discussing for a while, the two decided to accept the task. Fu Shaoping said to the deacon, "We want to accept the task of refining the 'Qingxin Pill'. What procedures do we need to go through?"

The deacon smiled and said, "Just scan your identity token on the corresponding task area on the jade plate, and the task will be automatically recorded in your token. After completing it, come back here to submit the task, and the contribution points will be automatically credited to your account."

Fu Shaoping followed his instructions and gently swiped his identity token across the jade plate. A line of small words immediately appeared on the token: "Task accepted: Refining the 'Qingxin Pill', thirty contribution points."

Nangong Wan also completed the same operation, and then said to the deacon: "Excuse me, are the materials needed to refine the 'Qingxin Pill' provided by the Chamber of Commerce, or do we need to prepare them ourselves?"

The deacon explained: "The Chamber of Commerce will provide the basic materials, but if you two have better materials, you can replace them yourself. After refining, you only need to hand over the finished pills to the Chamber of Commerce."

Fu Shaoping nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your advice."

After leaving the task posting place, the two went to the Chamber of Commerce's material warehouse to collect the materials needed to refine the "Qingxin Pill". After the deacon of the material warehouse checked the identity tokens of the two, he handed them a list of materials: "These are the materials needed to refine the "Qingxin Pill", please count them."

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan carefully checked the materials, and after confirming that they were correct, they returned to their residence with the materials. In the next few days, the two devoted themselves to the refining of the "Qingxin Pill". They divided the work and cooperated with each other, Fu Shaoping was responsible for controlling the temperature, and Nangong Wan was responsible for refining the medicinal materials. The tacit cooperation between the two made the refining process extremely smooth.

Three days later, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan successfully refined ten "Qingxin Pills". The pills were crystal clear, fragrant, and of high quality. The two put the pills into a jade bottle and then went to the Chamber of Commerce again to submit the task.

The deacon at the mission issuing office took the jade bottle, carefully checked the quality of the pills, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your alchemy skills are indeed superb. The quality of these 'Qingxin Pills' far exceeds expectations. The mission has been completed, and the contribution points have been credited to your accounts."

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan checked their identity tokens and found that their contribution points had increased by 30 points. Nangong Wan smiled and said, "Shaoping, it seems that our choice was right. This mission not only allowed us to gain contribution points, but also improved our proficiency in alchemy."

Fu Shaoping nodded and said, "Yes, next we can take on some more tasks to accumulate contribution points as quickly as possible and exchange them for more cultivation resources."

After discussing for a while, the two decided to take on another task of refining a mid-level spiritual weapon.

After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan accepted the task of refining a mid-level spiritual weapon, they immediately plunged into the intense preparations. This time the task was to refine a mid-level spiritual weapon called "Wind and Thunder Sword", which required the perfect fusion of wind and thunder attributes. The difficulty of refining was relatively high, but the contribution points were also quite generous, as many as 80 points.

After the two returned to their residence, they first carefully studied the refining drawings of the "Wind and Thunder Sword". The drawings detailed the structure of the spiritual weapon, the material ratio, and the path of spiritual power. Fu Shaoping frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The key to refining the Wind and Thunder Sword lies in the balance of wind and thunder power. If you are not careful, it will cause the spiritual weapon to collapse."

Nangong Wan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the wind attribute and the thunder attribute are inherently contradictory. To merge them, extremely precise control is required. However, we have experience in refining dual-attribute spiritual tools before, so we should be able to succeed this time."

After discussing for a while, the two decided to divide the work. Fu Shaoping was responsible for the injection of wind attribute spiritual power, while Nangong Wan was responsible for the control of thunder attribute spiritual power. They first received the materials needed to refine the "Wind and Thunder Sword" from the material warehouse, including wind spirit stone, thunder crystal stone, black iron and some auxiliary materials.

After everything was ready, the two began the refining process. Fu Shaoping put the black iron into the refining furnace, and used his spiritual power to drive the furnace fire, slowly melting it into liquid. Nangong Wan carefully refined the wind spirit stone and thunder crystal stone, extracted their essence, and prepared to inject them into the spiritual weapon. (End of this chapter)
