Lin Xiang knew that it was urgent to form his own force. He couldn't always rely on the players to maintain order. He had to have his own armed forces!
At this time, Tan Mengru, as her own representative, was already very busy.
She was extremely busy in the auction hall. Although there were several players helping her, there were so many visitors and questions that she couldn't concentrate at all.
"Let's post a notice first and see if we can recruit local monks. I hope they will sign up enthusiastically." Lin Xiang thought, he had just flexed his muscles, and the Universal Market and its surrounding areas seemed suitable for development.
He still had several Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand. He did not have the ability or materials to refine the Foundation Establishment Pills for the time being, but there were seeds among the items left behind by the true disciples of the Medicine King Sect.
Normally, the medicinal properties of the spiritual medicine needed for the foundation-building pill are at least a hundred years old. The better the medicinal properties, the stronger the effect of the refined medicine.
Lin Xiang planted all the spiritual medicine seeds in the Universe Cave. At present, most of the seeds have germinated and grown, and only a few seeds that are picky about the environment cannot grow.
Even spiritual plants with acquired spiritual roots like Thunder God Apricot have grown that big, and Silver Arrow Grass can be harvested in one season. The rest of the spiritual herbs will surely mature in a few months or even a year.
By then, he would be able to refine foundation-building pills and other elixirs in large quantities without having to search the world for the necessary elixirs.
Picking in the wild is ultimately a matter of luck, so if it can be cultivated artificially, then cultivate it artificially.
Anyway, it takes some time to observe the recruited cultivators. It is impossible to give them a foundation-building pill immediately after recruiting them. There is no such good thing.
If there is no merit, then there must be hard work!
Lin Xiang put down his pen and ink and began to list his needs.
Now is the time when the Universal Market is attracting the most attention, so there is no need to worry about no one seeing it.
Thanks to the brisk sales of the pills, his dry wallet finally started to fill up again and he was able to pay a certain amount of compensation.
What we are recruiting here are the Universal Market Guards, not members of the Land Temple. There is a difference between the two.
The members of the land temple are to work together to accomplish great things, so they must strive for excellence and be strictly screened.
He quickly wrote down all the treatment he requested and asked the mud monster to paste it outside the land temple.
In addition to being used as fertilizer and wall paste, the mud monster has now turned into paste.
Originally, it emitted a foul smell all over its body, which was its own characteristic and means of defending against enemies. However, under Lin Xiang's strong request, it had to restrain the smell.
If this monster, which has become a spirit from the mud, were to really let out its odor, I'm afraid all the cultivators in the entire Huanyu Market would have to cover their mouths and noses. It could be considered a biological weapon.
The level of the mud monster increased relatively slowly. The clam monster over there was originally only level 15, but it was easier for it to obtain water-attribute spiritual energy when it practiced next to the black dragon. So it ran to the bottom of Longxi River every night to get spiritual energy.
Now the black dragon has moved to the artificial lake, and the clam monster has followed with its own small belongings, determined to hold on to the dragon's thigh.
It had followed the Dragon King across the river when it was in the Dragon Palace of Longxi River. Now that it had tasted the sweetness, its level had soared rapidly. It was already level 19 and was about to establish its foundation.
In the eyes of players, the mud monster is just a lump of black clay. Many of them want to try to knead it, but it is only at level 17 and they are no match for it at all.
"Look, look, the fairy-tale version of Slime is here again!"
"What is it doing dragging a piece of paper?"
"This kind of pet should be easy to keep. Just throw something to eat."
The players stared at the mud monster in front of them with great interest, wanting to see what it was going to do.
Instead, the monks coming from outside subconsciously took a defensive stance.
"Why are there monsters in the market?"
"This monster actually appeared here in broad daylight. Is it someone's contracted pet?"
"Be careful of these mud monsters. They can contaminate magical tools, causing them to be downgraded or even damaged!"
"Why does this mud monster have merits?"
After hearing the discussion, the players began to explain: "Don't worry, seniors. This is Master Ji Ling's pet. It helps everyone fertilize the farmland. Its ability ensures a good harvest."
The mud monster is an automatic fertilizing robot. It can not only fertilize spiritual rice, spiritual medicine and silver arrow grass, but also fertilize the crops planted by the residents of Dongshan Village and Xishan Village.
That is nothing to it, but for ordinary people it is the best fertilizer, and its effect is comparable to that of Jinkela.
By helping humanity, you will naturally gain a shallow layer of golden light of merit.
The amount of merit is relatively small, but if you persist, it will be considerable in the future.
After hearing the players' explanation, the monks nodded one after another.
Killing a creature like the mud monster won't give you anything good, not to mention that it has merits protecting it, so no one would take the initiative to provoke it.
After it put the golden notice on the spot with its elastic body, it quickly disappeared, as if it was too shy to appear in front of everyone.
Jiuge was originally planning to go to Yueying Palace to become a disciple, but when he saw a group of people gathered here, he couldn't help but come over to see what was going on, wanting to know what was going on.
He had finally reached level ten and wanted to expand his lead, so he went to join the most powerful nearby cultivation sect.
"Brother Shou, what are you looking at in there? It's impossible to squeeze in." Jiuge stood on tiptoe at the back, with a crowd of people in front of him, blocking the way completely.
Fortunately, another familiar player, "Jia You Shen Shou", squeezed out with difficulty.
The divine beast at home is a fat man in his thirties. He and Jiuge have done missions together before, so they are quite familiar with each other.
After hearing the old friend's question, he replied, "Huanyu Market is recruiting members for the patrol guard team. They are required to maintain the market order every day and work at least 8 hours a day. They will be paid spirit stones and pills every month, and will be equipped with spells, magic tools, accommodation, etc. The most terrifying thing is that the sacrificial spirit will give out a varying number of foundation-building pills every year based on performance!"
"That sounds good. The market really needs someone to maintain law and order, and the pay is pretty good."
If he hadn't left immediately to become a disciple, Jiuge would have been a little tempted.
What he coveted were spells, magic weapons and residence, not foundation-building pills.
"Yes, many NPCs are very excited. They are clamoring to sign up and try it out." Jia You Shen Shou said with a smile: "I plan to join the Tianjian Sect and become a free and easy sword immortal. When the time comes, we can contact each other by carrier pigeon."
"From now on, we will switch from using carrier pigeons to flying swords to send messages."
"That's right."
Lin Xiang had anticipated the players' reactions, as his intention was not to recruit them.
Players will never stay in one place peacefully, they will definitely keep changing maps.
So he targeted the NPCs like himself, wanting to see if he could capture some people with potential among the monks who were arriving one after another.
The patrol guard team is just a test, and only those who pass the test can enter the land temple.
It has to be said that the Foundation Establishment Pill is indeed very exciting, especially for those casual cultivators.
It is not easy for them to save money. They may go bankrupt after a battle and cannot afford to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Now, anyone who serves as a guard in this market can obtain Foundation Establishment Pills, and the benefits are quite good. It is definitely worth a try.
In his early years, Tao Liang was a herbalist who relied on hardship to survive. One day, when he was collecting herbs on a steep mountain, he accidentally found a relic of a cultivator. It happened that he also had spiritual roots, so by chance he stepped into the world of cultivation and became an immortal that mortals envied.
However, after entering the world of cultivation, he realized how hard it was to be a casual cultivator.
His aptitude was quite average, and when he entered ordinary sects, they all looked down on him because his bone age was too old, fearing that he would have to prepare for his death after finally cultivating to the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage.
After stumbling and suffering a lot along the way, Tao Liang was considered to be quite lucky. He reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage at the age of eighty, which was considered a very fast speed among casual cultivators.
However, in the following twenty years, his strength did not increase much. Limited by his skills and foundation-building pills, he could only keep saving money.
Originally, he wanted to come to the Universal Market to pick up a bargain and see if he could buy the Foundation Establishment Pill with the 50,000 low-grade spirit stones in his space bag.
However, when he arrived at the market, he was greatly disappointed. There were too many people who shared the same mentality as him.
Everyone wants to find a bargain, but no one will be able to do so.
"It seems this market has good development potential, and the salary is decent. I might as well sign up and give it a try. What if I get selected? But the conditions for obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill are very vague. It would be better to stipulate that you can definitely get it in five or ten years. That would be more direct."
After making up his mind, he walked towards the interior of the land temple.
Tao Liang was not the first monk to come in. Before him, there were already seven or eight men and women standing in front filling out their own information and registration.
As a mortal, old man Wang Xiuyuan sat at the door of the hall, meticulously recording the information of these immortals with a brush.
As a temple keeper, he was only responsible for adding oil, lighting incense, cleaning and other tasks. No one expected that he would do these things.
Lin Xiang really couldn't catch anyone, and Wang Xiuyuan happened to be literate and was his backup candidate, so he captured him first to do hard labor and familiarize himself with the work and future partners.
"Brother Tao, you're here to sign up too?" a young woman in ferret fur said in surprise. "Aren't you planning on returning to Shannan to establish your own cultivation family?"
Tao Liang was originally looking at the statues in the hall of the land temple, but when he heard someone he knew asking about it, he quickly looked away.
"It turns out to be a girl from the Chang family!"
"That was my original plan, but after seeing the notice, I decided to try and get the Foundation Establishment Pill. It would be safer to establish a family after building the foundation. Sister Chang, aren't you going to join your fiancé?"
"It was only after I arrived at the Fiery Gate that I was informed that my husband had passed away after being injured by the formation while exploring the secret realm."
"My condolences."
Tao Liang didn't know how to comfort her now. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Just live your life well on your own. Even if you're not selected, you can rent a small courtyard here. It seems like there are a lot of opportunities."
"I've inquired. Ten spirit stones are enough to stay in a small courtyard in the market for ten days. But those villagers in Dongshan Village, outside the market, can stay for a month for just one spirit stone. They don't even ask for money, they let us stay wherever we want."
Tao Liang had already made a brief investigation. He never expected that the owner of this market town would allow so many mortals to live nearby. Isn't this providing convenience to poor people like himself?
Even though the spiritual energy in Dongshan Village is not as rich as that in the market town, it is at least much better than other places.
Can't ask for more for such cheap rent.
