"Hahaha, did you hear that? That guy actually dares to claim he's invincible in the True Spirit Realm!"
"Holy crap, I thought I misheard, but he really said that!"
"This guy probably came for the job drunk. He's spouting nonsense without considering whether anyone will believe him."
Jiang Yuan's words failed to convince anyone and instead drew waves of ridicule.
"This..." Zhao Kai seemed a little embarrassed, not expecting that the person he randomly picked would be so unreliable.
Almost everyone present wore a mocking smile, except for Ning Zhengguo, the head of the Ning family. He was a seasoned businessman and could tell at a glance whether someone was capable or not, and the calm and composed young man in front of him was clearly the capable type.
"My expected compensation is very simple: eat a meal and do a job!" Jiang Yuan continued.
He didn't want anything from the Ning family, so he wouldn't accept their money.
"Haha, is this guy out of his mind? He brags so much, but all he wants is a meal. Why doesn't he ask for a guest advisor?" Deng Shan mocked loudly.
"If you really want to join my Ning family, you'll definitely be well-fed. As for your treatment, that will depend on your abilities!" Ning Zhengguo didn't mean to mock him at all; instead, he calmly communicated with Jiang Yuan.
"Thank you, Patriarch Xie Ning!" Jiang Yuan glanced politely at the man who would become his father-in-law if nothing unexpected happened.
"Alright, since everyone has introduced themselves, I won't stand on ceremony. Now that you've entered the Ning family, you're all part of it. I hope you all have a pleasant experience here!" Ning Zhengguo said before standing up, without mentioning who would serve as a guest elder.
After Ning Zhengguo left, these newly recruited retainers became restless, with Deng Shan being the most prominent among them.
"Damn it, why am I still a retainer? With my strength, I'm more than qualified to be a guest minister!" Deng Shan shouted.
Zhao Kai naturally heard what these people were saying. He stepped down and said, "The fifteen of you will form a team, so the only guest elder needs the consent of the other fourteen!"
"If no one objects, I will help you apply for a guest minister position."
Zhao Kai's words brought a smile to Deng Shan's face. Wasn't this just about finding a leader for the team? Then he was the most suitable candidate.
"Manager Zhao, wait a minute!"
Deng Shan called out to Zhao Kai, rubbing his hands together eagerly, "I think I'm ready to take on the position of guest elder now. After all, with my abilities, I don't think anyone would disagree!"
"You?" Zhao Kai glanced at Deng Shan, then subconsciously looked at Jiang Yuan, who had just said that he was invincible in the True Spirit Realm.
Deng Shan instantly understood. He walked towards Jiang Yuan with a cold smile, but before he could utter any harsh words, Jiang Yuan spoke up.
"Don't mess with me, or you'll regret it!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he walked out of the conference hall. In his stone sense, Kui Yuan, who possessed insight, had already appeared. This was the best time to regain insight.
"regret!"
Enraged, Deng Shan threw a punch directly at Jiang Yuan.
"Boring!" Jiang Yuan had no fighting spirit whatsoever. In fact, these worthless scoundrels couldn't ignite any fighting spirit in him.
With a simple "All" incantation, the fist stopped in mid-air without warning, unable to advance any further.
Apart from Deng Shan, everyone around was stunned, not only physically but also spiritually; almost everyone's thoughts paused for half a second.
Including Zhao Kai, who is at the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Only after Jiang Yuan left did the people in the conference hall take action, but a longer silence brewed around them.
Only now did these people realize that the True Spirit Realm was invincible, and this wasn't just a matter of saying it; the True Spirit Realm truly was invincible.
"That's perverted!"
Zhao Kai stared in disbelief at the departing figure. Among his retainers, he had never seen such an abnormal person; this leap in status was beyond his imagination.
"The appointment of guest elders is yet to be determined. You are free to explore and familiarize yourselves with the Ning family for now. I will call you all together later!"
Zhao Kai has left. He must report this terrifying genius to the family head, and everything will be up to him to decide.
After causing a sensation, Jiang Yuan did not linger. He did not care what these people thought. His only goal was the truth told by Ning's parents and the insightful Kui Yuan.
"Who are you?"
The intrusion of a figure into the residences of the Ning family's retainers and guests puzzled them.
"It seems like today is the day the Ning family is recruiting retainers. They must be newly recruited retainers, right?" someone guessed after seeing Jiang Yuan.
After entering the area for retainers, Jiang Yuan located Kui Yuan's residence and then walked silently toward Kui Yuan's room.
These retainers are not very strong. Retainers are generally at the True Spirit Realm, while guest elders are at the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Moreover, there are not many geniuses who come here to make a living, so even if they are at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, as long as they are below the fifth level, Jiang Yuan can handle them.
As for opponents he could defeat, Jiang Yuan would usually resort to force when he regained his insight. He would use the "All" technique to stun them, then give them a talent and compensate them with some cultivation resources, and that would be the end of it.
This top scholar naturally used the same method.
"Creak!"
Jiang Yuan pushed open the door, the wooden door making a harsh, unpleasant sound. He was about to make a move, but his actions were abruptly halted by someone.
Who are you looking for?
Jiang Yuan, stunned, was questioned by a woman, and a woman at the Heavenly Spirit Realm at that.
"This is my brother's room. What are you doing here? You wouldn't happen to be the one my brother always talks about who bullies him, would you?" The woman suddenly stood up and aggressively approached Jiang Yuan.
"Sister, sister, don't misunderstand, it's not this person!"
