Chapter 89: Monster Cultivator Recruitment Fair
Zhao Qing reached out and patted Bai Chenxue on the head, saying, "Okay, both of you stop arguing and listen to Senior Jinli's words first!"
Jin Li laughed and said, "Hahaha, the disciples of your Taiyin Sect are really interesting. Actually, there is not much to say. The Taoist friends in Xizhu Hill have also greeted them. If you have any that you like, you can take them to your human race to do some work and live there for a while. It will be very beneficial for their cultivation."
Bai Chenxue asked curiously, "Huh? Living among humans is actually good for the cultivation of demon cultivators?"
Jin Li asked gently, "My little Taoist friend, do you know why in this world, all things that become immortals or gods usually appear in human form? And whether it is a demon cultivator or a spirit, only when they refine their horizontal bones, speak human language, or even transform into a human form, can they be considered successful in their cultivation?"
Bai Chenxue had never thought about this question before, and was stunned when she heard it: "Yes, why? Game settings?"
Wang Ergou immediately laughed out loud: "Hahaha what a fucking game setting hahahaha... ow!"
Zhao Qing secretly stepped hard under the stone table: "You are the only one who talks too much! Listen carefully!"
"Haha, no problem," Jin Li explained with a smile, "In fact, it's because the creatures in the world have been bathed in the grace of the ancestor gods since their birth. The spiritual energy of the world is all led by the ancestor gods, and the path of cultivation is also opened by the ancestor gods. According to legend, tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestor gods were in human form, so all creatures in the world, once they embark on cultivation, will pursue the appearance of the ancestor gods. Just as the fallen demons will gradually change into the appearance of demons, the demon cultivators who have achieved success in cultivation will gradually get closer to the appearance of the ancestor gods, and will increasingly lose their demonic and animal natures, and tend to be human cultivators."
Everyone suddenly understood.
“So that’s how it is!”
Lu Renya, who had been silent, suddenly whispered, "It sounds a bit sanity-depleting. Suppose the ancestor god is a giant squid, and as we humans cultivate, we become more and more like a squid, with habits like a squid. Isn't that too scary? Imagine, for example, when you build your foundation, you grow two tentacles, four golden elixirs, and eight Yuanyings. Then, when you ascend to become an immortal, you like to swim in the water? Ugh - how scary!"
Jia Xiaoren followed up with his imagination: "Shout to Patrick again, 'Let's go catch jellyfish'?"
Lu Renya pouted: "You are SpongeBob! Not a giant squid! Giant squids are meant to be eaten by sirens!"
"Haha, the Ancestral God is not a giant squid, nor is he a human. Rather than saying that the Ancestral God looks like a human, it is better to say that the human race was created by the Ancestral God in his own image. However, those are all ancient myths. I am afraid that only those large sects have a few words of records. I am not very clear about it."
"Nuwa created humans? Is this game's worldview also creationism?"
Zhao Qing shook her head: "It only says that the human race might have been created by the ancestor gods, but it doesn't say that the sun, moon, and stars were all created by the ancestor gods. It can't be considered creationism."
Jin Li coughed a few times, drawing everyone's attention back, and suggested, "Okay, let's not talk about these ancient legends. There are many demon cultivators in Xizhu Hill. I'll call out any kind you like for you to see."
When Wang Ergou heard this, his heart moved and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Qing beside him.
Zhao Qing had obviously thought of something as well, and just happened to look over. The two of them exchanged glances and said almost in unison, "Job fair!" As early as in the sect's nightly classes, Baili Shuang and other NPCs had talked about common knowledge about demon cultivation many times.
Demon cultivators are actually very unwelcome in the world of cultivation. Most of them find it difficult to get rid of their animal nature and are known for being "single-minded". There are only a handful of demon cultivator forces with a decent reputation, such as Chiyuan Cave and Qingqiu Kingdom. Among the thousands of sects and forces of all sizes in the ten continents and three islands, there are only about ten of them. This is just a glimpse of the whole situation.
And more demon cultivators are struggling to survive in the wild.
Most of the sects that are mainly composed of humans are unwilling to accept them for the sake of their reputation. Even the few sects that have demon cultivators only accept demon cultivators or half-demons who are mainly from the human race. Even so, they are still discriminated against and treated coldly.
For example, Elder Hu of Guangcheng Sect and most of Hu's disciples are descendants of the fox clan who married out from the Chiyuan Cave. Because the powerful Chiyuan Cave is right next to them, they are treated slightly more fairly. More demon cultivators in the sect are even forced to become mounts or pets for the cultivators to compete, show off and have fun.
The demon cultivators in the mountains and wilds were free, but they had neither a teacher to teach them systematic cultivation nor many classics and techniques to learn from. Their cultivation became more difficult and slow. Even the demon cultivators in the Bamboo Hill in the Stream only heard the content of the lonely meditation of the Bamboo Fairy and the Sugarcane Spirit that they occasionally encountered.
Therefore, this opportunity to enter a sect - even a strange sect - is still very rare and precious for the little demons with low cultivation.
As soon as Zhao Qing and Wang Ergou finished speaking, several other players shouted "good guys" and couldn't help but speak up: "You guys are really bold. The NPC took the initiative to join you and you didn't even beg for it. You're still being picky and want to hold a job fair?"
Wang Ergou boasted proudly: "NPCs are rare for them, but are they rare for us in Chang'an? There are hundreds of NPCs living in our Chang'an city!"
Jin Li had never heard of this term. Seeing how many people reacted, he was a little confused: "Job fair?"
Wang Ergou explained enthusiastically: "A job fair is an activity for employers and job seekers to get to know each other and make choices. Senior, you see, different demon cultivators must be good at different things. We can't let Butterfly raise pigs and Rabbit catch fish, right? So our job fair is to let the demon cultivators introduce themselves to what they are good at, and then talk about salary... cough, talk about salary requirements and food and accommodation requirements. For example, Butterfly probably doesn't eat meat, right? We have to provide him with nectar, right? Then we can consider which position is more suitable for him, don't you think?"
Jin Li listened to Wang Ergou's words and nodded frequently: "That makes sense. In that case, I will lead them out to have a chat with fellow Taoists."
Lu Renya raised his hand excitedly and asked, "Can I recruit a fellow Taoist to help me in my milk tea shop? I can't handle it myself!"
Wang Ergou said: "This definitely depends on the demon cultivator's own willingness. Besides, can you afford the money?"
"Oh," Lu Renya said with disdain, "My shop's daily turnover is over three hundred spirit stones. Two days ago, my senior brother came to me and told me that the sect's public kitchen plans to cooperate with me for a long time, and orders a certain amount of milk tea drinks every day as afternoon tea for employees. Just this list alone is enough to scare you to death!"
This time, not only Wang Ergou, but all the players around him made various sharp explosions.
"Du, Duo Shao? You mean Duo Shao!?"
