Lai Siyu sent many of her subordinates to participate in this assessment. Since she had a wealth of talented people under her, it was a good opportunity to infiltrate. / (First published on шш.uuo.com)
Being chosen by the Heavenly Palace would definitely leave a mark on one's soul. However, Lai Siyu wasn't afraid. She had those taking the test consume a whole plant of Soul Grass beforehand, then cast a spell to transform the grass into a protective film that enveloped their souls.
In this way, even if they are marked with a soul mark, it will only be on the soul grass and will not hurt their souls at all.
However, she does not have many Immortal Lord-level cultivators under her command, but she has a lot of True Immortals and Golden Immortals.
Fortunately, the starting point for cultivation required for chefs and servants is not high, a true immortal is enough.
As for ordinary immortal soldiers, it is enough to reach the Golden Immortal level.
Some time ago, the Heavenly Court's immortal army was greatly reduced in number due to the fight to wipe out the Six Kings' forces and the remnants of the previous dynasty.
But this time, the purpose of Emperor Zong Zhengchi's military expansion is probably not to defend the territory, but to turn his attention to the wilderness.
In fact, Mu Lingxiao didn't need to tell her that Lai Siyu didn't plan to choose alchemy this time. After she saw the god-level formation such as the city defense formation, she couldn't wait to see everything about the god-level formation.
If you are selected as a court formation master, even if you cannot learn the essence of the god-level formation, you can always get some knowledge.
This one or two contacts cannot be underestimated. They may be of great help to her attainments in formation.
This screening not only excited the majority of independent cultivators, but also attracted countless children of powerful and wealthy people who met the requirements.
However, many of these children are from side branches, and their status as the head of the family is awkward, neither high nor low. At the same time, they also want to gain a legitimate future for themselves by being selected.
The queues were so long that many cultivators asked others to queue for them. Many junior cultivators were willing to do this, after all, they could earn a low-grade immortal crystal by queuing for a day.
Therefore, all the cultivators queuing in the entire square were cultivators below the Mahayana stage. Lai Siyu took a look and found that there were even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and the Foundation Establishment stage.
Haha, isn’t this a scalper?
However, what makes them different from the scalpers in China is that they clearly mark prices and children are not deceived.
Of course, it's clearly not a wise choice to raise a price with a cultivator above the True Immortal level. Even if you want to die, don't seek such a method. They'll kill you as easily as crushing an ant, and your soul will also be reduced to ashes, leaving you no chance of reincarnation.
Lai Siyu and others also hired young monks to queue up. They only paid one piece of low-grade immortal crystal a day, and she could afford this price.
They gave each of the young monks who helped to queue up a jade slip for voice transmission. When there were only ten people left in the front, these monks would send a message to notify them.
The people sent by Lai Siyu also adopted this method, and in their spare time they all returned to their own shops to continue earning fairy crystals.
People from all over the Celestial Realm are flocking to the Imperial Capital. This is a great opportunity to earn immortal crystals, and they don't want to miss it! (Lai Siyu's teaching is really good. Everyone is obsessed with money.)
Judging from the situation on the scene, it will take many days before it is their turn, after all, there are too many people running for the primary election.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first." After finishing the work, Mu Lingxiao said to Lai Siyu.
"Okay, but I'm afraid it's hard to find a room right now." With so many people pouring into the imperial capital, inns and the like will definitely be full.
"Let's take a look first, or we can rent a floating island." No matter what, we have to settle down first.
Just then, a young girl approached them, her eyes filled with anticipation as she spoke, "Seniors, are you looking for a place to stay? The inn is full, but I know there are some floating islands available."
"Okay, then take us there. If I am satisfied, you will get some benefits." Lai Siyu said with a smile.
Hearing her say this, the little girl immediately revealed a delighted expression. Great! She had finally made a deal. She nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly, "I will definitely satisfy you, Senior!"
Although Lai Siyu was obsessed with money, she was not a miser. She was indeed stingy in some areas, but most of the time she was very generous.
For example, right now, she's not one to put herself in a difficult position. On the contrary, one of her dreams is to one day bring a group of lackeys and bully any man or woman on the street... no, any young man. If there's anything, I'll just use my money to get her!
But now the Bagua Plate is a bottomless pit that consumes fairy crystals, which makes her like a beggar at any time and extremely poor.
I really want to leave this Immortal Realm as soon as possible. Every time I enter and exit the space, I have to spend a huge amount of money. No one can afford it.
Floating islands are different from inns. Floating islands are provided for rent to monks with a certain level of strength. In other words, it is a place that only rich people can afford to rent.
There are no buildings on the floating island. People who rent the floating island just throw their own caves on it and use their own things.
Those with a little money are often pretentious, disliking things from outsiders as inferior and low-class, so they prefer to use their own things wherever they go. The owners of the floating islands simply capitalize on the hearts of the wealthy, charging exorbitant rents for a piece of land and a couple of errand boys.
Flying was prohibited in the imperial capital, a rule common to many other towns. So, Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao took the young girl's advice and rented a spirit beast carriage. The young girl told the monk driving the carriage an address, and the driver immediately drove away from crowded areas and headed for the place the young girl had mentioned.
The floating islands were located amidst a mountainous landscape on the edge of the imperial capital. Here, verdant waters surrounded green mountains, and countless celestial birds and auspicious beasts lived within. Enshrouded in clouds and mist, countless floating islands drifted above.
Just by looking at this, Lai Siyu was mentally prepared that the rent here must be very expensive.
The spirit beast car stopped in front of a rather exquisite and grand wooden building. As soon as the group got off the car, someone came up to greet them from inside the building.
"Uncle Liu, these seniors want to rent the floating island." The little girl hurriedly helped to explain the purpose of Lai Siyu and others' visit. When they heard that there were guests who wanted to rent the floating island, they smiled brightly.
"Please come in. Our place is beautiful, quiet and fresh. I'm sure you will be satisfied."
Lai Siyu and others followed the monk named Liu into the hall. The hall was decorated quite elegantly, and the owner's extraordinary taste and good intentions were revealed everywhere.
The monk led several people to the center of the hall. After he had some tea on the table, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the air. Immediately, the shadows of all the floating islands appeared in the air.
It is called an illusion, but in fact it is a miniature version of the floating island, and every blade of grass and tree on it is quite clear.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the darker floating islands have not yet been selected, while the lit ones have already been rented."
