Now it was the tall, thin man's turn to be puzzled, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "Miss, this way please."

The tall, thin man led Ji Jiuying indoors, while the fat woman continued to solicit customers at the market entrance.

Inside, there was a large cage. Upon hearing the noise, the people inside angrily raised their heads, their scarlet, cold eyes revealing a resolute determination.

Ji Jiuying nodded in satisfaction, "Great! I'll take these ten people!"

"Alright!" He had been trying to tame these kids for days, but they wouldn't budge no matter what. It was good that someone wanted them, but then he immediately added, "Miss, I must remind you, I haven't tamed any of them. If they run away halfway, I won't be responsible!"

"You just need to sell it to me!"

"Alright!" The tall, thin man handed ten slave marks to Ji Jiuying.

"How much?"

"They're all untamed, I'll sell them to you cheap! One hundred spirit stones will do."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying took out one hundred spirit stones and handed them to the tall, thin man. She glanced behind her and left the slave market, not caring whether the people behind her followed or not.

Back in the courtyard, I leisurely picked up the tea on the table and savored it slowly.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind, and Ji Jiuying's lips curled up slightly.

"Miss, Miss, something terrible has happened! There are so many beggars outside!" Qingling ran over in a panic.

God knows how terrified she was when she opened the door; she was bullied by a group of beggars when she was a child...

“Those are the slaves I bought. Go open the door and bring them here,” Ji Jiuying said calmly.

"Huh? Slaves?" Qingling breathed a sigh of relief and led the group of people over as Ji Jiuying had instructed.

Ji Jiuying elegantly sipped her tea, glanced up, and thought, "Perfect! Exactly ten people, no more, no less."

Ji Jiuying put down the tea set with her delicate hand, took out the slave mark that had been controlling their mental power, and condensed a ball of fire in front of the ten people, burning the mark away.

The ten people were slightly startled; the restraints had disappeared, and they were free! Before they could even react with joy, they were interrupted by the girl in front of them.

Ji Jiuying looked coldly at the ten people and said in a cold tone, "Now you have two choices. First, each of you can take one hundred spirit stones and leave here. Second, you can follow me without any disloyalty. You will be my partners, and I will do my best to help you reach the highest level of cultivation."

"Now, let's make a choice!"

After he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent.

The ten people looked at each other for a long time. Then, one of the women moved her body, knelt down first, and said, "Thank you for saving me, Miss. I am willing to follow you!"

The man next to her hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Thank you for saving me, Miss. I am willing to follow you."

"I'm willing too!"

"This servant is willing to follow Miss!"

"·····"

Ji Jiuying's lips curled slightly as she looked at the ten people kneeling on the ground with satisfaction. Her slightly cold voice came, "Get up, all of you!"

"Remember, my name is Ji Jiuying. The thing I hate most in my life is betrayal. If you have any disloyalty, I will kill you without hesitation!"

"Of course, if you are loyal, I have said I will do my best to help you reach the highest level of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the ten people bit their fingers, made a few gestures in the air, and raised their hands to swear: "We, your servants, swear in the name of God to Heaven and Earth that we will be loyal to Miss Ji Jiuying to the death and have no other intentions. If we break our oath, may we be struck by lightning and our souls be destroyed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a halo appeared where the ten people stood, enveloping them all. Finally, the runes within the halo formed rays of light and gradually entered their foreheads, thus fulfilling their vow.

Ji Jiuying looked at them with some surprise; it was the first time she had ever seen the oath law of this world.

"As your master, I am now giving you your first task!"

The ten people were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Please enlighten me, Master!"

"Alright! Now each of you take one hundred spirit stones, get yourselves ready, and come back to me!"

Upon hearing this, the group blushed. They were indeed no different from beggars on the street. They hurriedly grabbed the spirit stones and ran away.

"Miss, are they really alright?" Qingling was still a little worried.

"Don't worry. By the way, Qingling, go and buy a few obedient maids to cook and clean."

Ji Jiuying felt that using those ten people as servants was a waste; she needed to cultivate her own power.

Finding Qingling still standing there in a daze, he looked at her with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong, Qingling?"

"Miss, are you complaining that my cooking isn't good enough?" Qingling asked, sounding a little sullen.

Now that the young lady has bought a maid, does that mean she'll be out of a job?

"Silly Qingling, from now on you should focus on your cultivation. How can you be a weakling as my capable assistant?" Ji Jiuying tapped her on the head and said.

Qingling touched her head, feeling so moved she wanted to cry. Her mistress was too kind to her.

Even if it meant going through fire and water for Miss Yuan, I would not hesitate.

An hour later, all ten people had cleaned up and returned to the courtyard. They bowed and knelt on one knee to greet their master.

Ji Jiuying's eyes lit up. Not bad, not bad, they were all handsome men and beautiful women, and their aptitude was also quite good.

"Get up. From now on, you don't need to kneel and bow when you see me!"

"Yes." Only then did the ten men notice the crimson bird on their master's shoulder, but they didn't ask any further questions.

"Do they all have names yet?"

"No, please bestow a name upon me, Miss!"

Ji Jiuying frowned and pondered for a while, then she had an idea. She pointed from left to right with her delicate hand.

"How about Leng Shuang, Xue Yue, Bai Zhi, Hai Tang, Yun Yang, Yun Yi, Yun Ze, Yun Xiao, Yun Mo, and Yun Shu?"

The ten people quickly bowed and thanked him, saying in unison, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing names upon us!"

Ji Jiuying nodded in satisfaction, "Tell me what you are all good at."

You wouldn't believe it until you asked; what incredible luck she had! These ten people had taken over every single profession in the world.

Beastmaster, Alchemist, Weapon Master, Array Master, Talisman Master, Pharmacist, Poison Master...

But why were they exploited and enslaved?

After listening to what they said, Ji Jiuying remained silent for a moment with a deep look in her eyes, then looked at them and said calmly, "Take all the pills in here."

After saying that, he waved his hand lightly, and ten bottles of shimmering light flew straight towards the ten people. The ten people subconsciously reached out and caught them, and they actually did catch them.

As soon as Leng Shuang received the pill, she swallowed it without hesitation. From the moment Ji Jiuying took out the pill, she knew it was the antidote.

Everyone knew that Leng Shuang was an alchemist, and the others, seeing this, swallowed the pills without hesitation.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the fiery red eyes of the little phoenix perched on Ji Jiuying's shoulder. Her mother's first subordinate was not bad.
