Qi Zhiheng leaped out of the water and walked to the shore, where the others followed.
Qi Zhiheng stepped forward and greeted them: "Junior Qi Zhiheng, nice to meet you seniors."
There were three people in total. One was a muscular, strong man, probably a cultivator. Another looked refined and handsome, carrying a paper fan. The last was a beautiful woman.
The handsome man was the first to respond: "You ascended here, didn't you?"
Before Qi Zhiheng could answer, the muscular man interrupted, "Isn't that obvious? Coming from the Immortal Spirit River, what else could it be but an ascension?"
"This junior is indeed a cultivator who has just ascended to the Immortal Realm." Qi Zhiheng is currently unaware of the situation in the Immortal Realm and does not want to offend the three people present.
The three men looked him up and down, but Qi Zhiheng was not annoyed and let them scrutinize him.
The physical cultivator was suddenly surprised and said, "This kid is actually already an Earth Immortal."
Upon hearing this, the other two also glanced at Qi Zhiheng. The beautiful woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Seeing this, he's quite a promising talent. Who knows, he might catch up with us in the future." After saying that, her gaze towards Qi Zhiheng became more alluring.
Qi Zhiheng bowed and asked, "I have just ascended to heaven and don't know much about the situation here. I would like to trouble you seniors to give me some guidance."
The muscular man said, "There's no need for any 'senior' or 'elder' titles. We're just like you, merely Earth Immortals. On the contrary, you've just ascended to Earth Immortal status, so your future achievements are bound to be significant. We might even have to rely on you then."
After learning about Qi Zhiheng's qualifications, the three Earth Immortals became even more polite. The handsome man said, "We are immortals who have accepted a mission to guard the Immortal Spirit River. Next, we will take you to obtain your identity and learn about the situation in the Immortal Realm."
The beautiful woman said, "Alright, let's talk as we go. Let's take this fellow Daoist to register first." With that, she took out a flying immortal artifact and led Qi Zhiheng and the others onto it before introducing them one by one.
The muscular man is called Dao Ming.
The handsome man's name was Ren Wenshui.
The beautiful woman's name is Mu Shuier.
After exchanging names, Ren Wenshui was responsible for answering Qi Zhiheng's questions.
Qi Zhiheng asked, "What do we need to do after we register?"
Ren Wenshui replied, "Registration is to input your identity information into our Immortal Realm. After that, you can move freely within the Immortal Realm. Where you go next will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the First Heaven's General Administration. However, since you have just ascended, you probably don't have any Immortal Spirit Stones. Without Immortal Spirit Stones, it's very difficult to move around in the Immortal Realm. You still need to earn some Immortal Spirit Stones. The First Heaven's General Administration has many missions, and you can earn Immortal Spirit Stones by accepting missions."
Through this simple question and answer, Qi Zhiheng learned that the three people were by the Immortal Spirit River because they had accepted a mission. When Qi Zhiheng ascended to the Immortal Realm, the General Manager's Office sensed it and issued missions. After guiding the right people, they could then collect their mission rewards.
Qi Zhiheng thought so too. If there was no response, wouldn't people have to wait here indefinitely? No one could predict the outcome of ascension, and waiting for hundreds of years was impractical. If there was a response, it would save a lot of manpower.
Qi Zhiheng also inquired about the hierarchical system here.
From lowest to highest, they are: Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Immortal Lord, and Immortal Emperor.
Generally, newly ascended cultivators cannot convert all the spiritual energy within their bodies into immortal spiritual energy. Only a few exceptionally talented cultivators can ascend directly to the Earth Immortal level. Those with average aptitude will only reach the Half-Immortal level upon ascension.
Qi Zhiheng's ability to become a terrestrial immortal upon ascension made everyone present think more highly of him, which is why they were so friendly.
After inquiring about the level of the immortals here, he learned that the Immortal Lord was not ranked at the top, which gave him some confidence in facing the Hanqing Immortal Lord. As long as the other party was not the highest level here, it should not be difficult to find and contact him.
However, the most important thing right now is to establish a firm foothold in the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm is vast, divided into nine levels. He is currently in the first level, which has the lowest level of immortal spiritual energy. Above it are the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels.
Qi Zhiheng still doesn't know which heaven Hanqing Immortal Lord is on. If he wants to find out about him, he will have to inquire layer by layer.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, you seem quite serious, don't you? Don't worry too much. There are quite a few entry-level tasks here, which are very suitable for newcomers like you who have just ascended to the immortal world." Ren Wenshui saw Qi Zhiheng's solemn expression and thought he was uneasy about the immortal world.
Qi Zhiheng snapped out of his reverie, temporarily setting aside his thoughts, and asked, "If I want to find out about someone, what channels are available?"
Ren Wenshui looked up: "Inquiring about someone? Is this person in the Immortal Realm?"
Qi Zhiheng nodded: "Yes."
Ren Wenshui replied nonchalantly, "Want to find out about someone? It's not hard at all! As long as you have Immortal Spirit Stones, you can find anyone!"
Qi Zhiheng thought to himself, "It seems that without immortal spirit stones, I really can't move forward." He remembered that he still had an immortal spirit vein, and wondered if he could extract some immortal spirit stones from it.
Qi Zhiheng said: "Looks like I have to go do the mission first."
The group quickly arrived at the general manager's office. Sanran hurriedly took Qi Zhiheng to submit the task. Originally, after the task was completed, Qi Zhiheng's affairs would no longer be their responsibility. However, Ren Wenshui kindly took Qi Zhiheng to the registration location.
Qi Zhiheng successfully advanced and obtained his identity certificate as an immortal.
Then, Ren Wenshui said again, "Come on, I'll take you to get the mission. With the identification, you can get the mission here."
The place where the mission was received was very close to the place where Ren Wenshui and the others had just handed in their missions; they were both in the same hall.
On a magical screen, numerous missions are posted. As long as you find a mission you like and meet the requirements, you can accept it.
Ren Wenshui showed Qi Zhiheng the tasks and explained, "There are single-player and multi-player tasks here. Single-player tasks disappear from the task list once someone accepts them. For multi-player tasks, it depends on the number of people who choose to participate. Of course, there are also tasks that recruit widely, where the task poster wants to gather people first and then select the best one. There are also some material-related tasks, which are also single-player tasks. As long as you have the materials, you submit the task, then submit the materials, and that's it."
Qi Zhiheng thanked the other party for the advice.
Ren Wenshui asked, "By the way, did you have any special skills before?"
Qi Zhiheng thought for a moment and then didn't hide anything: "I used to be an alchemist."
"An alchemist?" Ren Wenshui looked at him again: "It's hard to tell. I saw that you were quite strong, but I didn't expect that you were an alchemist." It is generally recognized that alchemists are generally weak in martial arts, so he subconsciously thought that Qi Zhiheng was a weakling.
Qi Zhiheng said, "Only when I'm in better health will I have the strength to continue until the pills are finished being refined."
"Is that so?" Ren Wenshui stroked his chin. "But alchemists are not bad either. I heard that as long as the success rate of alchemy is high, they generally won't lack immortal spirit stones. That's much better than us who don't have special skills."
Qi Zhiheng said, "Fellow Daoist Ren is joking. I haven't learned how to refine elixirs in the Immortal Realm yet. I think I'll have to start all over again to learn how to make elixirs in the Immortal Realm."
"That's really not easy," Ren Wenshui clicked his tongue. "To refine pills, you need Immortal Spirit Stones. After all, whether it's pill refining books or materials, everything requires Immortal Spirit Stones. But you've just ascended, where would you get Immortal Spirit Stones? Without Immortal Spirit Stones, you have to do quests! But Ou Zhe's quests aren't easy either. And since you're an alchemist with low martial arts skills, there are fewer quests you can do, so Immortal Spirit Stones come in slowly. It's tough!"
He genuinely felt a bit emotional.
Qi Zhiheng thought of the books in his spatial attic. There were quite a few books in that attic. Since they were thrown down from the Immortal Realm to the mortal world, there would naturally be books from the Immortal Realm as well. He had never seen them before, and he wondered if he could find any alchemy books from the Immortal Realm.
"You should take on a mission first, otherwise you might not be able to find a place to stay," Ren Wenshui reminded him from the side.
Although he was somewhat optimistic about Qi Zhiheng, their relationship wasn't close enough for him to invite him to his home.
As for borrowing some immortal spirit stones from Qi Zhiheng? How many immortal spirit stones does he get from doing your guide missions for several days? Where would he find any surplus to lend?
Qi Zhiheng nodded and said, "You're right. I'll take a look at the mission first."
“There’s a task here to guard the Immortal Spirit Herb Garden. Do you think it’s suitable for you?” Ren Wenshui pointed to one of the tasks: “Although it’s only ten Immortal Spirit Stones a month, it’s marked as including accommodation! You can plant Immortal Spirit Herbs, right? The requirement here is that you can plant level one Immortal Spirit Herbs, so the difficulty shouldn’t be too high.”
Qi Zhiheng glanced at it and then accepted it.
However, this task was not a single one, but a general recruitment task, and many people would apply for it. Fortunately, the deadline for this task was today, so Qi Zhiheng didn't have to wait any longer.
Ren Wenshui decided to send the Buddha to the west: "You are not familiar with the fairyland yet, but I know where the meeting place is. I will take you there today."
"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Ren. I will remember all these favors." Qi Zhiheng was sincerely grateful to this man. In fact, after handing in the mission, their mission relationship ended. The other two had already left after the mission was completed, but only Ren Wenshui was still willing to continue to help him. Qi Zhiheng had already planned in his heart that he would repay Ren Wenshui's current kindness properly when he gained a foothold in the Immortal Realm.
