Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

[Passive skill acquired: Money is power!]

"???"

Zhou Fengliu was stunned for a moment when he heard the clock-out sound.

What achievements?

Have some savings?

Does this job offer achievement rewards once you earn a certain amount of money?

Zhou Fengliu scratched his head and looked at the description of the passive skill he had just acquired.

Money is power.

[This is a passive Qi cultivation skill, unique to the host of this system. With this passive skill, the Qi in the host's body will be cultivated automatically. As long as you accumulate more wealth through work, the cultivation speed of your Qi will become faster and faster, and the capacity of your Dantian Qi will also become larger and larger.]

After seeing the description of this passive skill, Zhou Fengliu fell silent.

Normally, the Qi in his body would naturally increase by clocking in and out of get off work. He didn't cultivate any Qi refining methods; he simply gained it without any effort.

But today...

This unique Qi Refining passive skill, which belonged only to him, opened his eyes.

This was the first time Zhou Fengliu had ever heard of Qi cultivation being related to accumulating wealth...

The key question is whether this concept of wealth is categorized as RMB, USD, FA, BA, EUR...

Zhou Fengliu shook his head. He first sensed the Qi in his body. The calm sea of ​​Qi now seemed to have a spring, and it began to slowly increase.

If we look at it from a data perspective, then this is the situation.

【Qi +50】

【Qi +50】

【Qi +51】

The numbers that would jump every now and then represented the increasing amount of Qi within his body, and the amount of this number seemed to depend on Zhou Fengliu's current assets.

...

"This method of refining Qi is truly effective," Zhou Fengliu thought to himself.

Given time, or the opportunity to accumulate a great deal of wealth, it's not impossible for him to rival the Old Master in three to five years.

Upon realizing this, Zhou Fengliu had an epiphany.

A brilliant new "Money-Giving Hermit" is about to be born in the world of supernatural beings...

Chapter 48 The Birth of "The Money-Grubbing Hermit"! (Second Update)

Thinking this through, Zhou Fengliu's need for wealth gradually shifted from material enjoyment to a need for power...

And now... the only way he can continue to make money through work seems to be the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony that Xu Si just invited him to.

Um...

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Fengliu took out his phone and dialed Xu Si's number.

"Fourth Brother, what was the highest prize money you could get for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

"These... alright, I've thought about it and decided that I still have to do my part to bring honor to the company, so I'll take this task."

Upon hearing this, Xu Si on the other end of the phone raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you serious? You might regret it now."

"Well, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Si looked at Xu San and waved his phone:

"Xiao Zhou went too. I knew it; his salary and bonuses these past few months definitely wouldn't be enough for financial freedom... He was probably trying to pull a pay cut trick on me, but thankfully I held my tongue..."

"Um...is that really the case?" Xu San pushed up his glasses, feeling that things might not be as simple as Xu Si thought.

"Who cares? Anyway, Xiao Zhou is here. Now that Bao Bao is on the left and Xiao Zhou is on the right, there will definitely be no problem for him to clear the obstacles for Zhang Chulan."

"I hope so..."

...

Time flies, and a few days later...

Zhang Chulan shouldered his bag and left the special training villa, preparing to head to Longhu Mountain to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. Before leaving, he glanced at Feng Baobao and Zhou Fengliu and then said:

"Sister Bao'er, Brother Liu, don't worry, I will definitely master what you taught me at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony this time. Please stay, no need to see me off."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Xu San, Xu Si, Zhou Fengliu, and Feng Baobao, who were about to drive, were all taken aback.

"Do you think... is it possible that we're here... to go to Longhu Mountain together, instead of to see you off?" Zhou Fengliu said.

"Huh?" This time it was Zhang Chulan's turn to be a little confused.

"You've also qualified for the Celestial Master succession selection?"

"The rules have changed a long time ago, Xu San, didn't you tell him?" Xu Si glanced at Xu San while smoking a cigarette.

"I thought you had finished talking to him."

Listening to Xu San and Xu Si's words, Zhang Chulan looked at Feng Baobao and Zhou Fengliu again, and suddenly realized that he was the silly boy who knew nothing.

"Now anyone under the age of thirty with supernatural abilities can participate in the selection, which means you'll have to eliminate even more people."

"What the hell?" Zhang Chulan frowned.

"Don't worry, Xiao Zhou and Bao Bao are here to help you get rid of those troublesome opponents."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan thought of Zhou Fengliu and Feng Baobao's strength. With these two protecting him, he felt a strange sense of peace.

"Oh what? Hurry up and get in the car, or we'll miss our flight."

"Okay, okay..."

...

Several hours later, Zhou Fengliu and his group landed in Jiangxi and changed transportation twice before finally arriving at Longhu Mountain. Contrary to their expectations, Longhu Mountain, although now one of the largest forces in the world of supernatural beings, is also a genuine tourist attraction.

The bustling atmosphere of the street made Zhang Chulan feel like he had come to a commercial street, not some paradise.

"Zhang Chulan...stay close."

"Oh."

Zhang Chulan, who had been called, hurriedly followed the group up Longhu Mountain. Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, he was stopped at the ticket office.

"Young man, have you bought a ticket yet?" the old lady at the ticket window asked impatiently.

"Huh? I was invited to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, do I still need to buy a ticket?" Zhang Chulan thought this was outrageous.

"You think you can get in without buying a ticket?" At this moment, Zhou Fengliu and his group stood obediently at the ticket counter taking out their money, looking at Zhang Chulan, who was about to barge in, as if he were an idiot.

Zhang Chulan: "..."

Why didn't you remind me?

“No holidays or festivals, you have to buy tickets to go to any tourist attraction, haven’t you seen the news? Even wandering Taoist priests have to buy tickets to go back to their own temples…” Zhou Fengliu said.

"..."

"Fine, fine, fine! You have to buy a ticket to go back to your own home? Is there any justice in this world? Is there no law?" Zhang Chulan was furious and trembling.

"There may be no justice in the heavens, and there may be no law of the land... but there is a law, though." Just then, a man dressed in a black Taoist robe appeared beside Zhang Chulan and spoke to him.

This is...

Zhou Fengliu looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the man was none other than Wang Ye of Wudang, a Wudang Taoist who possessed one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the Mad Queen's Strange Gate.

...

"Judging by their attire, these people must be well-connected."

After buying the tickets, Wang Ye and Zhou Fengliu's group walked up the mountain.

"Hmm, is the Taoist priest also participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

“Yes, I’m Wang Ye from the Wudang Sect.” Wang Ye introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Zhang Chulan..."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the name Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. "Zhang Chulan...hehe, you're that Zhang Chulan..."

Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye chatted casually for a while, and soon they arrived at the front of Longhu Mountain.

...

"Look, take a look! Free fortune telling! No charge if it's inaccurate!"

"Consecrated Buddhist artifacts are only for sale to those with the right affinity; we won't give them away for free!"

Zhou Fengliu arrived at the mountaintop and surveyed the chaotic area. There were many swindlers on both sides of the road, waiting for fools with money to jump in. Surprisingly, some people actually believed them, including Feng Baobao, who jumped high into the pit.

"998, 998, 998, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated! For 998 you can buy a magic weapon made of Fire Qilin Spirit Crystal!"

"Wow, that's awesome!" Feng Baobao exclaimed, looking like a fool with too much money. Xu San and Xu Si were pulling Feng Baobao, who was about to give money to someone.
