Chapter 840: Get the Secret and Find a Job
Although with the help of the power of the earth veins, the three of them had quickly left Qiling Province.
But they could still sense the huge roar and vibration coming from the flowing earth veins.
It was like a huge wave hitting him from behind. Even though Lin Ling was protected by the power of the ancient tree, he was forced to sway and deviate from the direction he was originally heading.
It is conceivable how terrifying the commotion in Qiling Prefecture was.
Not only the neighboring states, but also the distant Congyun Sea.
Everyone felt a slight vibration.
On Haixuan Island.
The Cong Yunhai Mutual Aid Association, which already has 18 monks, was originally discussing the future plans of the organization.
At this moment, everything suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise and confusion.
"Hmm? Just now, it shouldn't be my illusion, right?" He Zhenghao asked with some uncertainty.
Fellow Daoist He is indeed a man who knows how to adapt to changing times.
Although he missed the first chance to join the association, when he confirmed that Pei Tuo had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he immediately visited Ji Shaoli again.
Even though I was turned away for seven days, I still didn't give up.
Instead, he persevered and kept sending messages to express his strong desire to join.
In the end, Ji Shaoli was moved by his sincerity.
He Zhenghao thus became one of the second batch of eleven monks to join the Cong Yunhai Mutual Aid Association.
Ji Shaoli stroked his beard and said nothing.
Pei Tuo, who had the highest cultivation level among the group, looked towards the direction of Qilingzhou with a serious expression: "It's not an illusion. Even here, we can feel the ground trembling slightly. It seems that something serious has happened."
"Terrible. I wonder how many monks will die tragically in this disaster."
"Could it be that the war has started again?"
…
Everyone was talking about it.
In the end, it was Ji Shaoli, who was always keeping an eye on the movements of the Immortal Alliance, who read out the official announcement as soon as possible.
"An earthquake occurred in Qiling Prefecture, and a Hedao cultivator has rushed to the scene as soon as possible."
"The earthquake has gradually subsided, and no monks have died so far."
"After preliminary investigation, the possibility of further disasters has been ruled out."
"No need to be nervous..."
After Ji Shaoli finished reading slowly, he looked at everyone in the room and said, "Everyone, what do you think?"
Xiang Xin snorted coldly: "With such a big disaster, who would believe that no monks died?"
A cultivator immediately agreed: "That's right. In my opinion, the Immortal Alliance is deliberately whitewashing the situation."
"It's really getting too much. You're too lazy to even write an edited version of it?"
…
Ji Shaoli expected everyone's reaction.
If it weren't for the fact that he and his group were the initiators of the earthquake in Qiling Prefecture, he would probably never have believed such an absurd thing that a disaster of such a horrific scale would not result in casualties among cultivators.
However, he had no intention of standing up to point out the mistakes.
Ji Shaoli smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's stop discussing this matter here. It's fine to talk about it among ourselves, but it's better to keep it to ourselves when we are outside. Otherwise, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble."
No one present was a fool. They all nodded in agreement.
Ji Shaoli also brought the conversation back to the main topic.
"It's not that the organization doesn't trust you. It's just that this matter is of great importance. If it is leaked, I'm afraid everyone here will die."
“Therefore, you are required to swear a vow in front of the statue of [The Immortal Who Saves Suffering and Disasters, Compassionate in the World of Mortals].”
Ji Shaoli placed a red contract with a mysterious aura in front of everyone.
Pei Tuo did not hesitate at all. He was the first to swear an oath and engraved his name on the contract.
The others followed suit.
Ji Shaoli nodded with satisfaction and put away the red contract.
Asked: "What do you think about the upcoming Immortal Alliance exam?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, not knowing what Ji Shaoli meant for a moment.
Because everyone present already holds a position in the Immortal Alliance system.
Although this exam was very ambitious and half of the positions were expanded, they were not eligible.
unless……
They now resigned from their positions and reapplied as unemployed persons.
It's not like this hasn't happened before.
I am very dissatisfied with my current position and I don't see any hope of promotion for a long time.
Only monks with lofty ambitions would do this.
After all, the exam is not easy. Who can guarantee that they can successfully re-take the exam after quitting their original position?
And by doing so, he would offend his former boss.
If I fail to pass the exam again, I will probably have to consider leaving my hometown and seeking refuge.
Without absolute confidence, almost no one would choose this drastic approach.
Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, Ji Shaoli did not explain yet.
Instead, he distributed jade slips to everyone.
After everyone checked, they all frowned.
They could naturally see that the content in the jade slip was in the format of the exam questions.
“Could it be…”
This reminds me of Ji Shaoli’s mysterious behavior before.
And the hidden terrorist background of the mutual aid association.
A guess emerged in everyone's mind.
"Is it possible?"
Soon, they all shook their heads secretly and rejected the idea.
The questions for the Immortal Alliance entrance examination are the most confidential of secrets.
Even though they secretly complained from time to time that the Immortal Alliance was corrupt, they had never heard of the leak of the exam questions over the years.
Although there is definitely a powerful force behind the mutual aid association.
but……
There was dead silence for a moment.
It was Ji Shaoli who spoke up and confirmed the guess that they had never dared to think about.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the contents of this year's exam should all be in this jade slip."
The words were soft.
It sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
Many cultivators stood up on the spot and looked at Ji Shaoli in astonishment.
"Friend Ji, are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Ji Shaoli asked firmly.
There was a moment's silence, giving everyone time to slowly absorb the huge shock.
Ji Shaoli looked at He Zhenghao and the others, who all had different expressions, and spoke again: "Although with the support of the organization, everyone's strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. But it is still a bit difficult to get promoted."
"After all, those who are willing to join our mutual aid association don't have any strong background."
"Moreover, the remote area of Congyun Sea cannot be compared with the prosperous state in the center of the Immortal Alliance."
…
Ji Shaoli explained the reason why he wanted to help everyone.
He asked, "Here are the real test questions. I wonder if any fellow Taoists are willing to give it a try?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell into deathly silence.
From the expressions on everyone's faces, one can see their inner struggles.
"This is just a help provided to you fellow Taoists. It's all up to you to make the decision. You won't be forced." Ji Shaoli added with a smile.
