Jiang Yun was already sitting in the cabin of Chuanyun Zhou. He quickly poured himself a glass of spiritual wine and breathed a sigh of relief after drinking it.
Han Li and the other three couldn't help but notice that at this moment, Jiang Yun no longer had the calm and carefree attitude he had before.
"It's really interesting to pretend to be an expert in front of Han Li and give him advice!"
"I don't know when the next meeting will be, but if Han Li's future is really difficult to change, he will definitely go to the next Immortal Ascension Conference. At that time, I will ask the head master uncle for the task of recruiting disciples, okay? It’s easy for who I am.”
"Forget it, I don't want to think about Han Li's affairs now, and think about my own affairs."
"After this long-term battle in the Zijin Kingdom, my cultivation level has improved a lot. I thought it would take nearly ten years to reach the point where the foundation building is complete and full of spiritual power. Now it seems that I can achieve it within a year."
"Building pills, refining magic weapons... things are really complicated! When you return to the sect, you can retreat and try to form pills."
After that, Jiang Yun did not return to Spirit Beast Mountain directly. Instead, he divided the Zhenfan Palace into various temples in the major states of the Yue Kingdom. He also made certain assessments on the operation of the resource points. When he returned to the sect, it was already three months later. .
Just one month after Jiang Yun left Jingzhou, a heavyweight came to the Jingzhou branch of Zhenfan Palace.
"Wu Yi, Jingzhou branch hall, has met two inspection masters!"
Wu Yi, the master of the Jingzhou branch hall, brought more than a dozen formal members and dozens of peripheral members under his command to receive siblings Yu Jiuxi and Yu Mo from the main hall. He cupped his fists and saluted the two of them.
Wu Yi's disciple Zhao Yun'er was also in the reception team, but she was wearing the clothes of peripheral members. Because of the organization's regulations, only Jiang Yun can be appointed as a formal member.
Yu Jiuxi controlled the flying sword, while Yu Mo slowly fell from the sky. His cultivation had reached the foundation building stage.
After Yu Jiuxi and Yu Mo returned the gift, Yu Mo said nothing, while Yu Jiuxi took a step forward and said:
"You don't need to be polite, Daoyou Wu. You may not know that you have ranked first in all branch halls in this round of performance appraisal. The hall master is very satisfied. Based on your contribution, you can go directly to the main hall when you reach the completion of your Qi training period. Receive a Foundation Building Pill, and this is an additional reward given to you by the Palace Master, please keep it!"
Yu Jiuxi took out a long sword with a yellow aura from her storage bag, and with a wave of her hand, the sword flew towards Wu Yi.
Wu Yi could tell at a glance that this was a top-quality sword of great value, so he happily accepted it.
"Thank you, Lord Palace Master. Thank you for your hard work, two inspectors. You previously sent a message saying that there is a large-scale mission. Please make it clear that I will handle it right away!"
Yu Jiuxi nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are very good. Article 11 of the Zhenfan Palace regulations stipulates that when the organization goes to subordinates' places, subordinates are not allowed to hold banquets in any name, nor are they allowed to bribe. Otherwise, both will be punished."
"I passed by a large resource point before, but the manager there dared to bribe me, so I fired him on the spot and replaced him with a deputy manager. After working there for so many years, I forgot all the organizational rules I had memorized."
Wu Yi replied seriously: "Wu Yi dare not forget every word of the organization's seventeen prohibitions!"
Yu Jiuxi didn't show off and directly stated the mission of this trip.
"The Master of the Palace deeply felt that although Jingzhou was barren, the folk customs were simple, and the organization lacked young talent reserves, so he decided to conduct a large-scale spiritual root test in thirty-seven towns and more than 400 villages in the northwest of Jingzhou. The target group for testing is men and women under the age of 15."
"As long as your qualifications reach the Three Spiritual Roots and you pass the quality assessment, you can join Zhenfan Palace and become the organization's reserve talent."
"Jingzhou has the lowest population among the states in Yue State. There are not many people. In addition, only the northwest of Jingzhou is being tested. It is estimated that the number of people of appropriate age should be four to five million."
"I have brought all the spirit-testing beads in the headquarters inventory this time. There are sixteen in total. You should also have one in your branch hall. Everyone is divided into seventeen teams to conduct the test. The direction is from south to north."
"Remember, no matter how poor or remote the village is, don't leave it out! The level of this mission is high-grade Xuan. In addition to the basic contribution points, the team will be awarded an additional fifty contribution points for every qualified child tested! Rewards for those with outstanding talents will be increased as appropriate."
"Yes! I'll wait for the order!"
After hearing the mission level, everyone present was overjoyed. According to the organization's regulations, the salary for Xuan-level tasks is around one thousand contribution points. Even if the branch master takes the lion's share, each of the remaining people can get about ten points. And this is not a dangerous subjugation mission, so I am extremely happy.
Some people are still praying that their team can detect a spiritual root. Of course, they don't believe it themselves and know that this is a dream.
Soon, the vigorous spirit root testing activity began. After Jiang Yun’s previous operations, Zhenfan Hall itself had an excellent reputation in Jingzhou, especially in the poor areas in the northwest. Everyone was grateful. This time they heard that Zhenfan Hall was recruiting Reserve talents and let their children go for testing.
....Although they don't understand what it means to reserve talents, they know that anyone who can join the Zhenfan Palace is an immortal!
For a time, the entire Jingzhou was boiling. Many people who were not from the northwest of Jingzhou also ran to take part in the test, while the testers turned a blind eye. After all, the greater the number, the higher the probability of detecting talents. They You also have to consider performance.
Moreover, those people also said that they have relatives in the northwest, or their ancestors are from the northwest, but they moved away many years ago. They have blood from the poor areas in the northwest. How can we, as Zhenfandian monks, doubt it? What about these simple and kind-hearted people?
All in all, the number of people passing through was simply terrifying. Fortunately, each team had three or four monks who could take turns meditating to restore their spiritual power.
In addition, if the leaders of Jingzhou had not reached a decisive agreement and sent heavy troops to block the border to prevent people from other states from sneaking in, the number would have been even more terrifying.
In their opinion, this was an opportunity given to them by Zhenfan Palace in Jingzhou. How could it be given to outsiders?
"Bah! You always laugh at us, the people in Jingzhou, for being poor people. Now you must be stupid!" Not only the magistrates of Jingzhou and other powerful people think this way, but also the beggars below who don't have enough to eat.
The spiritual root test, which was originally expected to be completed in one and a half months, ended up being delayed for four months due to the large number of people. The final result was only so-so.
A total of 367 people with spiritual roots were tested, including one with the second spiritual root, 37 with the third spiritual root, and the rest were all with the fourth spiritual root and the fifth spiritual root, of which there was only one with the fifth spiritual root.
Four of them with poor moral character and temperament were eliminated, and 35 people were eventually absorbed into the organization to become reserve talents, with the same treatment as peripheral members.
As for the remaining ones who had detected their spiritual roots, Zhenfan Palace did not let them destroy themselves. After all, if these people stayed in the mortal world and took the wrong path, it would not be their Zhenfan Palace's fault to cause trouble.
As a result, these people have become temporary members of Zhenfan Palace. This is a new position specially created by Jiang Yun. In the future, these people will be added to the major resource points to work. If they perform well, they will also have the opportunity to become peripheral members.
The organization will send special personnel to teach all the children. Since many of them are illiterate villagers, the organization also invited a group of the best teachers and doctors from the city to teach characters and human meridians.
Poor children are already precocious, and they feel very proud when they see the ecstatic expressions of their family, neighbors and the whole village, but they don't quite understand the specific difference at once.
Some of the children from better-off families saw some very famous Confucian scholars in the city who were rare for ordinary people to come to teach them. These Confucian scholars also looked fawning and did not even dare to touch the palms of their hands. They understood that they His identity has completely changed.
There is a girl in the school who looks to be twelve or thirteen years old. Although she is not beautiful, she is still pretty and attractive. Moreover, this girl studies very seriously and hard.
"Brother Li, I wonder how you are doing at Qixuanmen?"
"We had a good life back then because of the grain sent by the government, and we even wore new clothes. But unfortunately, we encountered a drought and most of the crops died. Our whole family cried very sadly."
"I saw my father sitting in the field looking at the dead crops in a daze all night. If this continues, our family will starve to death. But you offered to go to Qixuanmen and said that if you passed, you would get money and save one at home. Human rations.”
"Originally, Blacksmith Zhang from the next village had agreed to marry his daughter, but he regretted it after seeing how miserable our family's life was."
"Actually, I know that you went to Qixuanmen because of me, because if you really can't survive, maybe I will be sold to the landlord's grandfather as a maid. In this way, you can still get a sum of money. There are several daughters in the village. I actually understand that I was sold."
"Actually, my parents have been very good to me. The stupid son of Lu Daluzi's family in the west of the village wanted to eat meat and made a fuss. His cries could be heard by half of the village."
"Then Miss Lu disappeared within a few days. We all knew that Miss Lu must have been sold. I took a look at the fool and was happily eating meat. He didn't seem to notice that my sister was missing."
"We girls become sensible early. When men are still playing around at the age of five or six, we girls are already helping with laundry, cooking and work at the age of four or five. But no matter how sensible we are, we still cannot compare with boys. Even then The man is a fool.”
"Maybe Lu is lucky. I saw some villagers throwing a baby girl into the river before... I had a nightmare for half a month. Brother Li, you thought I was sick, why did you go there?" I wanted to catch fish by the river to make soup for me to keep me healthy, but in the end you didn’t catch any fish and came back with a few frogs.”
"I am very lucky to have someone who loves and cares for me like Brother Li. Women of the same age in the village are very envious of me. Several people quietly told me that they want to marry a kind person like Brother Li in the future."
"After you enter Qixuanmen, you cannot come back due to the rules. Because Qixuanmen's rules are very strict, it is difficult for us to send you a letter from home."
"But it's okay now. I've asked the government to send it. They said they guarantee it will be delivered. They also said that if Qixuanmen is shameless, they will look good on it."
"Brother Li, you have been sending us money every month for the past three years. We have received it. My parents have saved it and said they would keep it for my dowry, so that I can marry better."
"My mother has always taught me how to sew and cook, be kind to others, and respect elders. She said that only in this way can I be valued by my future husband's family, so I have been studying hard."
"But that day, my parents threw away the needlework in my hands and hurriedly pulled me out to a nearby town. Then a beautiful sister in white took a photo of it with a bead, and it glowed with three colors of yellow, green and blue. Everything changed in my life after that.”
"Several big men wearing silks came to my parents on the spot and said they would give our family a big house and land."
"My parents didn't want it at first, but the gentlemen all knelt down, crying and begging them to accept it..."
"Later we moved to the town and acquired hundreds of acres of fertile farmland. The government office didn't charge a penny for the transfer. The house deed and land deed were handed over to my father the next day. Our family was stunned. I stayed up all night and came back to my senses the next day.”
"The neighbors around us are very kind to our family. My father can't farm so much land by himself. Later, he hired some people to farm it. I never thought that our family would be able to live like a landlord."
"Some relatives and neighbors who we didn't interact with started to interact with our family. My father had a headache, but as long as I frowned slightly, those people would leave immediately. I felt really awesome!"
"There used to be an aunt from afar who always pointed at me, saying that I was not as good as her daughter or that my figure was not good enough,"
"Really, how can this be the case? I think I'm very good-looking! My mother always laments that it's a good thing she's not as plain-looking and dark-skinned as Brother Li, otherwise it would be difficult to get married."
"After we moved, my aunt came here once, and after I gave her a hard look, she never showed up again."
"One time I wanted to take out my needlework and want to become a female worker, but my mother just threw these things away and said there was no need to do any more. I asked in confusion, how can I get married if I don't do needlework?"
"As a result, my mother said that she will be an immortal from now on, and she will not be able to do any needlework, nor can she wash her clothes, or do any other work."
"So I spent a period of time doing nothing, and I was very unaccustomed to it. Fortunately, my family is now rich, and my parents don't have too much heavy work, otherwise I would definitely feel uneasy."
"Fortunately, one month after the spiritual root test, an immortal picked me up and brought me to the mountains. There was a beautiful building inside, with many peers inside, and there were people who taught us literacy and medicine."
"By the way, my mother said that I will be an immortal in the future, so the name Han Xiaomei is not suitable. Finally, I asked a famous scholar to name me."
"At that time, the great scholar was trembling with excitement. He finally thought of five names and asked me nervously which one I liked. If he didn't like it, he could think again."
"I was illiterate at the time and could only listen to Da Ru's words. Da Ru also explained the meaning of each word and quickly chose one of them."
"My name from now on will be Han Qianxun. I'm very smart. I can write it after reading it a few times."
"Brother Li, when I become an immortal in the future, you won't be taking care of me, but I will be taking care of you! I will protect you then!"
