Reborn right after ascending to immortality?
Chapter 44 The Desperately Hungry Model Worker
Chapter 44 The Desperately Hungry Model Worker
An Sheng dragged Mei Yun away as if fleeing from the Holy Buddha Sect.
He truly hadn't expected that the merits of the Immortal of Impermanence would be owed until the next era.
Is this guy's credit score good enough?
Why is the actual situation different from what is being said?
An Sheng stared at Bai Susu with a questioning look.
"As you know, my memories are incomplete, and there are indeed some minor discrepancies between my ideals and reality."
Bai Susu was not ashamed, but proud, and said with a proud face, "In short, you have witnessed my strength. After this battle, the Buddhist sect's power has completely declined, and the Taoist sect has flourished ever since."
In a sense, Bai Susu didn't lie either.
"Didn't you just say that with my status as the Impermanent Demon Prince, I can come and go as I please among the Four Great Demonic Sects?" An Sheng asked, his face darkening. "Why do I feel like I'm a rat in the street?"
"Indeed, they can come and go as they please."
Bai Susu opened the "Nine Netherworld Travel Guide" and pointed to the paid items, saying, "Since you are under eighteen years old, you can buy a child ticket to visit the Demon Gate for free because of your child status."
Whose "Demon Sect's Holy Son" is challenging the sect? Would they buy a child's ticket?
All the sophistication is gone.
An Sheng raised an eyebrow. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Since his rebirth, the longer he spent with Bai Susu, the more his imagined image of the mysterious, aloof, and powerful 'Immortal of Impermanence' crumbled.
They've even come to buy children's tickets.
"If you don't buy a child's ticket, the ticket price to visit the Four Great Demonic Sects will be one mid-grade spirit stone," Bai Susu said.
"Actually, a child's ticket isn't unacceptable," the little girl said sweetly.
With the establishment of the rule of law in the immortal realm, many ancient demonic sects have carried out innovative reforms in order to avoid being eliminated by the times.
Charging admission fees is an important source of revenue for the Demonic Sect. The vast majority of sects are open to outsiders, whether it's the inner sect's back mountain, ancient ruins, sect's sacred grounds, or even the ancestral tombs and mausoleums; all can be visited with a ticket.
The price of tickets determines the depth of a sect's heritage.
Sects with a weaker foundation would not dare to set high prices.
Only those sects with a long history and a solid foundation dare to set the price of a mid-grade spirit stone.
After visiting the Holy Buddha Sect, the next stop is the Qiongqi Sect.
"The predecessor of the Qiongqi Sect was the most ferocious power-based demonic sect. Its clan totem was named after the ancient evil god 'Qiongqi Immortal,' possessing immense strength, extreme ferocity, and the ability to create heaven and earth."
This sect imprisons the most vicious and ruthless old demon.
Wuchang Immortal spoke calmly, displaying the demeanor of an immortal and possessing profound knowledge of the past and present, "Those old demons betrayed faith and loyalty, wreaked havoc on living beings, but were ultimately subdued by Wuchang, and were also defeated by this immortal. From then on, this immortal bestowed upon them the name Qiongqi Sect."
An Sheng repeated these words to Mei Yun verbatim.
Mei Yun thought An Sheng knew a lot.
After listening to An Sheng's introduction, especially the "vicious old demon", he developed expectations for the Qiongqi Sect, which was full of great demons.
The Qiongqi Sect's branch is located in the development area of the lower city.
The sun was already high in the sky, creating a bustling and vibrant scene.
The artificial sun has turned the earth a coppery white, and the scorching sunlight has steamed up a thick layer of earth energy. Countless cultivators with great strength are carrying reinforced concrete and using the "Mountain Moving Technique" to move stacks of brick mountains to high-rise buildings. Weimen is also developing the area, and this land is going to be turned into a CBD.
For thousands of years, prisoners assigned to the second level who were unwilling to pay their personal taxes would join the Qiongqi Sect as part-time labor reform prisoners.
They were all desperately hungry model workers.
"Do you know how to use the Mountain Moving Technique?" A demonic cultivator wearing a white hat asked An Sheng. This person was the deputy leader of the branch, with a Nascent Soul stage cultivation, and was also the foreman of this construction site.
He treated An Sheng and Mei Yun as if they were just there to work.
"How much is your sentence?" the white-hatted man asked. "We don't hire people here if it's less than five hundred years. We don't take short-term workers." Seeing that An Sheng and Mei Yun were young, he assumed they were juvenile delinquents and his attitude became contemptuous.
"I hate dealing with juvenile offenders like you the most. You're halfway through your labor camp when a sentence reduction comes and you're released early, leaving behind a mess."
Mei Yun felt that her dream had collapsed again. Old Demon, Old Demon, so this is what a workaholic is?
“We’re here to visit.” An Sheng showed the tickets to the white hat and muttered to himself, “Why do you need tickets to even visit a construction site now? Are you a Nascent Soul cultivator doing civil engineering?”
"This is all money."
The man in the white hat rolled his eyes and gave a cold laugh. "Youngster, do you know where the name 'Qiongqi' in our Qiongqi Sect comes from?"
"Destroying trust and abandoning loyalty, extolling evil words, pacifying the mediocre and wicked, accepting slander and searching for evil, all to falsely accuse virtuous people." Mei Yunwen's cultural achievements were also not bad, and he spoke eloquently, "This is called 'Qiongqi'."
The man in the white hat said expressionlessly.
"They were so poor that they were called the 'Qiongqi Sect'."
Mei Yun's expression froze.
"Before the war of the immortals, our demonic sect was incomparably glorious and incomparably terrifying."
The man in the white hat reminisced about the glorious past, his weathered eyes filled with nostalgia for the past, "It was the largest real estate sect in the entire Nine Netherworlds."
"Until that day, that person appeared—the Immortal of Impermanence."
It turns out it's a real estate business. No wonder it's a treacherous and wicked organization that destroys lives.
An Sheng nodded. How could such a terrifying sect be subdued by the Wuchang Sect?
"She said she wanted to cooperate with our sect on the largest real estate project in history in the Nine Netherworlds, to fully develop the entire Weimen Realm and sell it to all the lonely ghosts in the Nine Netherworlds."
"The Immortal of Impermanence was extremely generous, attracting investment from Ksitigarbha. The initial deposit was 'merit of 100,000 years' worth."
"With this incredibly generous donation, we launched a full-scale sales campaign, aggressively attracted investment, and boosted business. Local shrewd individuals rushed to buy and reserve units, and the situation seemed incredibly promising and prosperous. But just as our development was beginning to take shape..."
"The Immortal of Impermanence has run away! The sect of Impermanence has no legal representatives left!"
He tearfully accused, "All the buildings are abandoned! They've all become unfinished buildings!"
"We are in debt by a total of 2.5 trillion low-grade spirit stones!"
"Now, 100,000 years have passed, and our debt is still not paid off!"
"We became so poor that we changed our name to 'Qiongqi Sect' from then on."
An Sheng broke out in a cold sweat.
2.5 trillion low-grade spirit stones is probably more than the entire annual tax revenue of the Nine Netherworld.
"If I ever meet the representative of the Impermanence Sect, I will definitely demand repayment of this debt." The white-hatted model worker said through gritted teeth, his murderous aura soaring into the sky, almost freezing the surrounding air.
Through this visit, Anson confirmed two things again.
1. Never say that you know the Immortal of Impermanence.
Second, the 'Impermanence Law Contract' inside the altar must never be exposed!
Once exposed, what awaits you is a hell more terrifying than death.
"By the way," the model worker in front of me asked, "so what's your name? Are you interested in working at our branch? You can get a partial exemption from the cultivation tax, you know?"
An Sheng quickly said,
"I'm a minor, my sentence has been reduced, sorry to bother you!"
