Li Xiu walked into the Hall of Eternal Life and found that the interior of the hall was quite strange.
Places like the Temple of Heaven are mostly built for prayer and sacrifice, and usually contain statues of gods.
However, there are no statues of gods in the Hall of Eternal Life. In the huge palace, apart from various strange monster statues carved on the jade pillars and jade walls, there is a huge jade furnace in the center of the hall.
The jade furnace flickered, as if there was a light flickering inside. When the light came on, it made the jade furnace crystal clear, as if it was almost transparent.
As it got darker, the jade furnace looked much more ordinary, no different from the jade in the Jade Palace.
There are some patterns carved on the jade furnace, but they are not the monsters on the pillars and walls, but images of clouds and lightning.
When Li Zheng was looking at the jade furnace, he suddenly heard a voice: "Take out your invitation card."
Li Xiu heard the source of the sound and found it was actually inside the jade furnace. He looked at the jade furnace in surprise and took out the black invitation card: "Where should I put this invitation card?"
The voice in the jade furnace did not answer his question. After a while, it uttered a light exclamation: "It's this card. What's your name?"
"My name is Li Xiu. Is there anything special about this card?" Li Xiu asked.
Judging from the tone of the person in the jade furnace, there must be something wrong with this card.
"Don't you know the meaning of this invitation card?" the voice in the jade furnace asked with some surprise.
"I don't know. The person who gave me the card didn't tell me what's special about it. Can you tell me?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the card in his hand.
The voice in the jade furnace said: "There are three types of invitation cards in Changshengtian. The red invitation card is for ordinary members, and the black invitation card is for super members. Although the invitation card in your hand is also black, it is not a super member invitation card, but a general member invitation card."
"The director's invitation card?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.
He didn't think there was anything strange about being the chief, but why did the Lord of Red Sand City give him such a card?
He had almost no interactions with the Lord of Hongsha City, and even killed the Lord of Hongsha City's brother-in-law. If the Lord of Hongsha City was really the president of Changshengtian, then why would he let Li Xiu come to Changshengtian as the chief?
"Touch the invitation card. There is no mark on it. Only the chief invitation card has no mark, because you need to mark it yourself. The chief will be the card issuer in the future. You are the only one who can decide what mark your card has." The voice in the jade furnace continued, "There are seven chief invitation cards in total. The previous six cards had owners a long time ago. The successor can only inherit the chief invitation card from the previous chief and cannot change the mark. The only chief invitation card that has not been used is the one in your hand, so you only have this chance to mark the invitation card."
"Boy, you look young, why would that old guy let you be the chief? What's so special about you?" said the voice inside the jade furnace.
"I don't seem to be anything special." Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.
"It's impossible that there is nothing special about it. That old guy is very smart. It's impossible for him to let an ordinary person be the chief, let alone the chief of the seventh group that has never appeared before." The voice in the jade furnace paused and asked, "What is the upper limit of your super spirit?"
"I am just a C-level trial participant, and I am still far from becoming a super spirit." Li Xiu replied.
"C-level trialist? Are you sure?" The voice in the jade furnace seemed extremely surprised: "Impossible, how could that old guy let a C-level trialist become the chief? Is he crazy? Or is he too old, and has become confused?"
"I know my level, how could I be wrong?" Li Xiu looked at the jade furnace and asked, "Is it so strange for a C-level trialist to be the chief?"
"It's more than just strange. It's something that has never happened before. A C-level trialist, let alone becoming the chief, doesn't even qualify to become a super member if he doesn't have a special identity." The voice in the jade furnace continued, "Could it be that you have a special identity and are the leader of some major force?"
"I am the mayor of the City of Light. Is this a special identity?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"City of Light? What is that place? Has the situation in the outside world undergone major changes again?" The voice in the jade furnace seemed puzzling.
Li Xiu recounted the origins of his City of Light. The voice in the jade furnace laughed at him and said, "What kind of special status is that? Not to mention your inferior City of Light, even if you are the Lord of the entire Southern Cross Federation, you are not qualified to be the Chief of Changshengtian. At most, you are just a super member."
"Then I don't know what special identity I have." Li Xiu said, spreading his hands, but he was secretly suspicious in his heart: "Could it be that the Lord of Hongsha City discovered that I am God? Otherwise, why would he let me come to Changshengtian to be the chief?"
"This is really strange." The voice in the jade furnace pondered for a long time before saying: "In any case, let's complete the ceremony first. You can give your group a name. This name will also be your mark. In the future, the invitation cards you use to recruit team members will have this name mark."
"A name? Let's call it the Longevity Group." Li Xiu said casually.
"Sorry, this name has already been used. The first chief of Changshengtian used this name." said the voice in the jade furnace.
"It seems that there are still people who are as lazy as me in naming." Li Xiu muttered to himself.
The voice inside the jade furnace said strangely, "Now that you put it that way, it does make sense. I originally thought that guy named himself Changsheng in order to emphasize that he is the first chief of Changshengtian. Is it because he is too lazy to think of a name? With his personality, it is very possible."
"Who was the first chief of Changshengtian?" Li Xiu asked curiously.
"The mark is the code name. The chief of the Changsheng Group is naturally Changsheng. No matter what the future successor is called, the code name of the chief of this group can only be Changsheng." The voice in the jade furnace replied.
"So I'm not only naming myself, but also naming the future general manager. I have to think about it carefully." Li Xiu touched his chin and pondered, as if he was thinking hard.
"Friendly reminder, the six words longevity, immortality, love-forgetting, seeking the truth, magic spirit, and divine pet all already have owners. You don't need to waste your brain cells on them." The voice in the jade furnace was very humane.
"These names are too common and too vulgar. I didn't originally plan to use such names." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Oh, then I'm looking forward to your name." Yu Lu's voice was obviously disapproving.
"I think it should be okay for a while, right?" Li Xiu asked.
"Originally, the ceremony should have been completed as soon as possible, but I'm also very curious about what name you can come up with. I'll make an exception and let you think about it for a while." said the voice in the jade furnace.
Li Xiu simply sat in front of the jade furnace and thought: "Calling them the Father Group seems a bit too straightforward and not elegant enough. How about calling them the God of Wealth Group? That won't work either. Just getting rich is not enough. As the saying goes, getting promoted, getting rich, and dying are the three great joys in life. How can we only have one of them?"
"Are you sure you have really read the book?" The voice in the jade furnace couldn't help but interrupt.
"I've read some, what's wrong?" Li Xiu asked.
"Nothing, just keep thinking." said the voice inside the jade furnace.
Li Xiu continued to think for a while, and suddenly asked: "Does the group name have to be two words?"
"There is no mandatory rule for this, but it's best not to make the mark too long, otherwise it will be troublesome when engraving. A two-character group name is also easier to remember and easier for others to call you. If your name is too long, others will definitely not be able to call you the whole name in the future, and they will call you in all kinds of ways. You have to think this through." The voice in the jade furnace obviously didn't want Li Xiu to come up with a name that was too long.
"Now that you put it, it does make sense. Two words are more appropriate." Li Xiu pondered.
Seeing that Li Xiu listened to his suggestion, the voice in the jade furnace seemed to feel that it had an obligation to help this uneducated new chief, so that he would not come up with some strange name, which would bring shame to the entire Changshengtian.
"In fact, you can give it a name based on your own characteristics. For example, the Seeking the Way Group, the chief who founded the Seeking the Way Group is a cultivator himself. Another example is the chief who founded the Forgetfulness Group, who is a person without desires himself..." The voice in the jade furnace kept giving Li Xiu hints.
"That makes sense. What are my own characteristics?" Li Xiu muttered to himself.
"You are still young and your experience is probably limited, so don't think about the problem from a philosophical perspective. Be more direct and think about what advantages you have." The voice in the jade furnace continued to remind.
"My advantage... can my strong technical skills be considered an advantage?" Li Xiu asked.
"Of course, that's good. But in terms of technology alone, it's rather monotonous. Do you have any other advantages?" The voice in the jade furnace was very relieved, thinking that under his guidance, Li Xiu finally had the thinking of a normal person.
"What other advantages do I have?" Li Xiu thought about it carefully and felt that he didn't seem to have any other advantages.
He is not usually frugal, has never done any charity work, is not very enthusiastic towards people, and doesn't like to help others.
If he didn't care so much about the things he liked, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as lazy and gluttonous.
When it comes to wealth, he is not as good as Chu Jun; when it comes to perseverance, he is not as good as A Fei; when it comes to love, he is no match for Ye Yuzhen.
After thinking about it, it seems that apart from strong technical ability, there don’t seem to be any other outstanding advantages.
The voice in the jade furnace saw that Li Xiu hadn't spoken for a long time and thought, "What the hell is this? Not only is he uneducated, but he also has no ability. Why would that old guy choose him as the chief? Is he really senile and confused?"
Li Xiu thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "I remembered, I have another advantage."
"What are the advantages?" the voice in the jade furnace asked hurriedly.
"I was quite successful as a teacher. I made 50 million just by saying a few words." Li Xiu said.
The voice in the jade furnace said in disbelief: "You...are you still a teacher...and is your success as a teacher determined by how much money you make?"
"What? Isn't this an advantage?" Li Xiu asked puzzledly.
"Yes, of course." The voice in the jade furnace said hurriedly, fearing that Li Xiu would cause trouble again.
After all, teacher is a profession with relatively high status and reputation, so it shouldn't be a bad name for a group.
"You are good at technology and can be a teacher..." The voice in the jade furnace seemed to feel something was wrong as it spoke, and the voice gradually became smaller.
"Now I understand what you said. Let's call it the Technician Team. Thank you for helping me with the name." Li Xiu thought the name was pretty good.
"Technician team...are you...sure..." The voice in the jade furnace became more and more strange.
"I'm sure, what should I do next?" Li Xiu was quite satisfied with the name and didn't want to continue wasting brain cells on this issue.
"Put your card into the jade furnace through that opening, and I will mark it for you...um...are you sure you want to use this name..." the voice in the jade furnace asked again.
"Isn't this the name you helped me choose? I think it's pretty good too." Li Xiu directly inserted his card through the hole.
In Changsheng City, countless people looked in the direction of Changsheng Palace, and most of them had confused and doubtful eyes.
The sound of the Longevity Pearl and the ringing of the Jade Bell have not happened for many years. Only when a new group is established will it be announced to the whole city in this way.
Many people headed towards the Temple of Heaven, wanting to know if a new group was really going to be established.
You have to know that among the six groups before Changshengtian, the latest one, the sixth group, was established nearly a hundred years ago.
Now that the new group has been established, many people still have some ideas. When the new group is established, the new director-general must be the right person. If you join the new group now, there will be a lot of room for operation.
Many people came to the Temple of Heaven, wanting to see who had established the new group and what kind of person the leader of the new group was.
Li Qingyi, Bai Ying, Mo Liu and Sun Gang outside the Temple of Heaven were all stunned.
Previously, Li Xiu was the only person who entered the Hall of Eternal Life. Now that the Changsheng Pearl is shining and the jade bell is ringing, a new group is about to be added to Changshengtian. There is no doubt who the head of the new group will be.
"Is he qualified to be the chief?" Bai Ying looked unconvinced. She didn't think Li Xiu was qualified to be the chief.
"Has there ever been such a young chief before?" Mo Liu also looked confused.
Sun Gang pondered and said, "The chief of the Seeking Dao Group resigned. Wan Chaoxin wanted to compete for the chief position, but was rejected because of his lack of qualifications and age. This Li Xiu should be about the same age as Wan Chaoxin, and he just joined Changshengtian, but he actually opened a new group and became the chief. What is his background?"
Several people looked at Li Qingyi. As the daughter of the president, she was naturally the only one most likely to know about something like this.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Li Qingyi was also confused at this time. She didn't know how Li Xiu could become the chief after coming to Changshengtian, and even set up a new group.
This is simply unprecedented and there has never been a precedent for this.
When those groups were established in the past, all the leaders were highly respected people in Changshengtian. How could it be possible that a person who had just joined Changshengtian would be allowed to establish a new group and serve as the leader?
"Ah!" Bai Ying suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Li Qingyi and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Li Qingyi and the others were startled and looked at Bai Ying.
Bai Ying looked at Li Qingyi strangely and said, "Qingyi, Li Xiu's last name is also Li. Could he be your half-brother?"
Li Qingyi, Mo Liu and Sun Gang all thought it was a joke at first, but when they thought about it again, their faces turned a little strange.
Li Xiu's surname is Li, and he also possesses a magic spirit like that of a Jedi Knight. The magic spirit's promotion speed is unusually fast. He even dares to hold a magic spirit competition, which is something that a general-level person has not dared to do for decades.
In addition, now that he has joined Changshengtian, he has set up a new group and is the head. If he is not the president's illegitimate son, how could he do all these things?
"Qing Yi, could Li Xiu really be your biological brother?" Mo Liu didn't dare to mention the word "illegitimate child".
"It should...not be..." Although Li Qingyi felt that this was impossible, when she thought about what happened to Li Xiu, her confidence couldn't help but waver.
"Could it be that my father really has an illegitimate child outside?" Li Qingyi looked at the Hall of Eternal Life with a changing expression.
The jade bells rang thirteen times, and the pearl light spread far and wide.
Not to mention Changsheng City, even in the Wangsheng Town below, one can see this strange sight.
Some trial participants who were flying in the sky on magic spirits and who had originally planned to enter the trial gate hurried back.
The many trial-takers and fishmen in Wangsheng Town also looked up at the sky full of rosy clouds.
The light of the jade bead on top of the Hall of Eternal Life became stronger and stronger, dyeing the entire sky into colorful clouds.
The colorful rays of light kept changing in the sky, sometimes turning into a V-shape, and sometimes turning into a straight line.
The colorful rays of light flickered, as if countless colorful symbols were changing in the sky.
Those colorful symbols slowly condensed together and gradually turned into two words.
An old man who was drinking tea in the white jade pavilion looked at the ever-changing rays of light in the sky and muttered to himself with a happy expression: "After so many years, we are finally going to set up a new group. I don't know who will set up the group? To be able to set up a group at this time, I think his identity must be extraordinary. I just don't know if he is from one of the four major families, or if that super member has made a new breakthrough and has the strength to set up his own business."
The old man looked at the rays of light that gradually condensed into characters, took a sip of tea, and looked at the first character that had already condensed into shape. He couldn't help but silently recite in his heart: "Skill... This word is the root of all things... Good word... The name of this group starts with this word, which is unconventional."
"Teacher...Teacher...creates the world...lays the foundation for eternity...This word has power...Skill...Teacher...Skill...Teacher...Technician..." When the old man thought about the two words together, he spat out the whole mouthful of tea he had just drunk.
"Technician team..." The old man looked at the two words condensed by the rosy glow in the sky with a strange expression and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Skill group...haha...oh my god...this new chief is really a talent...I don't know who will join this group..." In the magic costume group, several magic costume masters laughed so hard that they almost choked.
