Chapter 992 - 85: Xin Xichen’s Interview
"It seems everyone is taking this very seriously," Jiu Shui sat on the chair, sipping tea with a relaxed and calm expression.
The current job offers high pay and a chance for fame, especially since the Golden Core is quite popular lately, and he is quite willing to give it a try.
Loving a peaceful life ≠ not earning money or gaining fame.
Those famous divine craftsmen and divine alchemists in the Immortal Realm, aren’t they all free as a cloud, sitting high above?
Countless powerhouses are begging these industry masters to refine treasures for them.
Complete a few orders a year, and it’s enough to earn cultivation resources.
This is the best kind of life.
No need to lick blood off a knife’s edge to rapidly grow in the Immortal Realm.
"However, it seems the Immortal Realm is not very peaceful,"
Jiu Shui’s gaze passed over the two True Immortals hidden in the shadows and fell on the two Saint Children. Uninterested in their fighting and killing, he looked at the other competitors and said indifferently:
"The level of the folks around seems quite average. Show some skills, and ranking in the middle should be enough."
Just then.
Another person arrived just in time from not far away.
This individual, dressed in white with a scholarly aura, was Xin Xichen.
He glanced around at the interviewers, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, everyone."
People in other seats nodded one after another.
Those who made it through the recent interviews to the final round are all experts, naturally warranting a response.
Xin Xichen occasionally glanced at Jiu Shui, but found nothing unusual.
Currently, he had achieved Human Immortal Perfection and was about to break through to Celestial Immortal.
After all, Human Immortal is transitional; with resources, one can break through. And where did his resources come from?
Of course, from selling dough skins.
With his technique, using Urging Virtue + Star-Forming River, he turned the Sun Moon Divine Artifact and Dao Yueniang into the following lower spiritual roots.
Heavy Peaks (Gold), Heavy Peaks (Wood), Heavy Peaks (Earth)...Five Elements Heavy Peaks.
More authentic than Zhongluan people.
Coupled with two Yin and Yang divine techniques, Giant Shell and Man Tianxing, it formed corresponding fresh and fragrant flavors...
The entire seven-colored divine technique’s layered gourmet dough skin person was born for food.
This Seven-Colored Hundred-Change Immortal Soldier’s potential is truly terrifying.
Now, Dao Yueniang has transformed into a new type of chef, frantically producing ironsmiths’ [dough skins] in the kitchen, then selling them.
Even as a pirated version, it sells better than the genuine Chongshan Fang team.
Because they secretly advertise: This is a [Golden Elixir Shop] exclusive dough skin with a better taste, only provided to nobility, and don’t spread the word...
In this way, hasn’t the price gone up?
The other immortals, profiting from the Golden Core’s surrounding industries, can’t earn as much as Xin Xichen.
Thus, in just a few days, he massively produced dough skins and sold them to various restaurants, with a cost of only 3% and a profit of 97%, quickly accumulating resources for Human Immortal Tenth Layer.
Xin Xichen looked at those around him, thinking secretly:
"With a heaven-defying divine artifact in hand, making money isn’t difficult for me, a jack-of-all-trades. If I truly wanted to make money, copying various industries could break monopolies, even True Immortals might not earn as much as I do. Although this dough skin business is making big money, I’m not satisfied with just this; let’s see what Xi Rong’s Golden Core is aiming to do."
"After all, I need resources at the Celestial Immortal level to start cultivating."
"Celestial Immortal needs Enlightenment, to begin understanding the laws of the Immortal... Whether an Enlightenment Pill or items containing Tao Rhyme, the conventional purchase prices are too high."
"If you have no connections, you could be ripped off. This isn’t just about money."
In today’s Immortal Realm, without connections, what kind of Immortal can you cultivate?
Does anyone really think that mining Human Immortals, without becoming son-in-law or dogs, will get Heavenly Immortal level resources from us Immortals?
If I have Heavenly Immortal resources, why wouldn’t I give them to my local disciples or family members?
Even if selling to other local Celestial Immortals, they wouldn’t be sold to you outsiders! Unless you are willing to be fleeced, paying dozens of times the price to buy.
The class monopoly in the Immortal Realm has become quite severe.
After all.
If Xin Xichen himself were the Emperor, he would do the same.
You migrant workers are unstable elements for the Dynasty... Why would we raise you?
Obediently serve as the Human Immortal’s labor force, mining and working, that’s your fate.
In today’s Immortal Realm, at this Celestial Immortal level, one basically has to join local forces, or become a Tribulation Cultivator, Demon Cultivator, secretly banding together in the Immortal Realm...
Xin Xichen doesn’t want to be a Demon Cultivator, hunted and chased.
Becoming a top existence in a non-combat profession can lead to a class leap.
So he came!
His Xin Family Royalty, talented in many arts, is also good at painting.
Soon, Xin Xichen enthusiastically chatted with those around him, even amusing with that Wanluan Vase.
After all, with a True Immortal hiding in the shadows protecting, it was clearly no simple matter.
Likely an enemy Saint Child of Xi Rong.
If this Saint Child gets beaten and cries, has nowhere to go, Xin Xichen could take advantage of the situation, perhaps let them invest in my dough skin business...
He could then connect through a Saint Child’s network.
While Xin Xichen was pondering this.
"Everyone, the interview begins."
Just then, the painter Jiucai Rong appeared, looking at the group of motley individuals and clapped his hands:
"All of you who have reached the final interview stage are capable people."
"Next, our interview process requires complete confidentiality, please sign the confidentiality contract first."
The Immortal Realm’s confidentiality contract records the soul’s original breath.
If you personally sign this contract but don’t fulfill it, openly violate it...
Your reputation in the Immortal Realm would be tarnished.
And this Business Alliance contract is guaranteed by the Immortal Venerate Alliance.
If suspicions of breach arise, Immortal Venerates will personally use the original breath you left on the contract to divine and apprehend...
Though it’s also a name that collects protection money.
Few people dare boldly break contracts and slap the faces of Immortal Venerates in public.
Does anyone really think, with Immortal Venerates collectively divining, running to the ends of the earth will allow escape?
Xin Xichen looked at the contract and nodded, "I am willing to sign."
"I am willing as well."
The Wanluan Vase also spoke with a smile.
Now let’s talk about this Saint Child prodigy who came for the interview, multi-talented, originally walking the path of Illusionary Realm Divine Techniques.
The layers of array patterns on him are all illusion arrays, layered upon layers, multiple illusions, captivating the heart mind, a very terrifying Yin attribute Divine Technique.
This is also a major category of the Zhongluan People.
Currently, the combat classification in the Zhongluan system.
There are those in the Defense Series, with full-body overlapping defense array patterns.
There are the Self-destructive System, all loaded with overlapping explosive array patterns, harming both self and others.
There are those in the Illusionary Series, with full-body overlapping illusion array patterns.
The essence of their Zhongluan system is the Array Map system.
Therefore, he is proficient in the path of illusion array patterns, advancing all the way to the finals is not surprising.
Especially the Wanluan Vase, his overlapping skin is like a book of illusionary realms, with layers of illusion arrays spreading out, covering the surrounding world, real and fake mixing, even capable of fighting weaker Immortals.
At this moment.
No one present backed down, as everyone signed the agreement, since signing a confidentiality agreement is a normal means of cooperation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the PPT."
The painter Jiucai Rong pointed to the big screen behind him, "This is the direction of our story plot..."
The Jiu Shui, Xin Xichen present, as well as the painters currently watching through the scroll...
Couldn’t help but nod.
It still had the flavor of the Xi Rong conference!
The two Saint Children, and even the natives seeing this scene for the first time, just found it interesting.
On the PPT, Jiucai Rong briefly reflected an image,
"The story we are going to tell, the background is an old civilization living on in an ancient tomb, named... Daoist."
"They only know themselves as prehistoric remnants, left behind in ancient tombs, not remembering their origins and backgrounds, struggling to survive in the dangerous ancient tombs for generations."
"And our story begins in a fragment of the continent within this ancient tomb."
"Once upon a time, there was a place called Jiao Town..."
"There was a Jiao called Jiao Wuyu, she longed for the outside world, so she attempted to leave the ancient tomb, entering the only exit, a mysterious tunnel, only to be killed by monsters on murals..."
"Her head was thus severed, the Jiao body and Jiao head parted, instinctively struggling and fleeing, arriving at an ancient town."
"The townspeople prayed for the blessing of the Jiao head, making the village maiden use unique Divine Techniques to transform into Jiao claws, Jiao body... completing the Jiao head, extending this Jiao’s life."
"Initially, the villagers were good, sacrificing to the Jiao generation after generation, but later on grew ambitious, starting a Jiao night feast, sharing the Jiao’s frequently replaced headless body."
"They even feared the Jiao’s headless body would invite doom, abandoning the villagers, thus they led the headless body searching for the head into a pigsty, grafting a pig head onto it..."
The painter Jiucai Rong began to adapt, slightly modifying the background to tell the origin of the story.
The crowd couldn’t help but nod repeatedly.
A mysterious tomb space, a pure maiden longing to see the outside world, the villagers’ transformation, from worship to greed, even drinking Jiao blood, eating Jiao meat...
They were indeed exquisite scripts.
Even the Saint Child Wanluan Vase pondered for a moment, "At first glance, it is of first-class standard."
In fact, the Immortal Realm has countless excellent scripts, when a script reaches a certain level of excellence.
The next competition is about graphics quality, and immersive illusionary involvement!
Good scripts are everywhere.
It’s like on Earth, there’s no shortage of excellent IPs, but how many aren’t criticized when adapted into films or series?
Good scripts are abundant, adaptation is the hardest part.
It’s like the grand production of a 3D movie, seeing whose production is more meticulous, whose scenes are more lifelike...
Hence they invited these famous painters, book authors.
Their paintings and books can transport people into a painting world, a book world...
Some even engraved Tao Rhyme inside!
Enabling insights into avenues of the corresponding attribute, which is greatly beneficial to Celestial Immortals!
What do Celestial Immortals cultivate?
Cultivating the various Divine Power Laws on their bodies.
At this stage, Celestial Immortals need Enlightenment, usually requiring sudden enlightenment, venturing out for experience, many descend to the Mortal realm, roaming many worlds...
But as times progressed.
The Enlightenment Pill emerged, which can deepen perception.
The Immortal Realm has now developed to a point that going out for experience and enlightenment?
You can experience and enlighten without leaving home.
Great Powers inscribed the laws they comprehended into books with Tao Rhyme, merged them into pills, creating Enlightenment Secret Realms...
Allowing young people to enter and observe, experiencing another person’s life...
Therefore.
At this stage, Celestial Immortals will read books.
Mortals read books, reading various biographies, famous novels will evoke insights, understanding various truths, enhancing growth, giving an aura of a scholar...
The same applies to Immortals.
Reading, whether for mortals or Immortals, is the most cost-effective way of achieving sudden enlightenment.
The Wanluan Vase calculated inwardly:
"Assembling this group of people, this mysterious Xi Rong might be dissatisfied with the supply of Human Immortal level destiny pills, trying to make a move toward the Celestial Immortal level [Enlightenment Pills]."
"They want to replicate illusions in the Golden Core, engraving Tao Rhyme, for people to gain insights..."
But clearly, currently, they just want to first make a simple story, using the Golden Core as a carrier, to test the waters.
First venturing into the ordinary entertainment industry.
If they can’t even craft a good story, without immersion, how to replicate Tao Rhyme, allowing people to experience another person’s life?
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?"
Looking at everyone, the painter Jiucai Rong said:
"Our interview is a two-way journey, if you have any ideas and suggestions, you can also bring them up, as the development of our Golden Core might have shortcomings, needing outsider guidance."
Everyone nodded slightly.
This shopkeeper, being humble, naturally made one feel goodwill.
