Chapter 846: Getting a Secret and Seeking a Job
Chapter 840 – Obtaining a Secret before Seeking a Job
Although with the help of the power of the earth’s veins, the three of them had quickly left the Flag Ridge Prefecture.
However, they could still sense the tremendous roar and vibration coming from the earth vein’s rushing current.
It was like a huge ocean wave lapping from behind. Even Lin Ling, who was blessed by the power of the Earth Vein Ancient Tree, was forced to sway and directly deviate from his original direction of travel.
One could imagine just how appalling the commotion in the Flag Ridge Prefecture’s home state was.
Not only the neighboring states, but even the distant Cong Yun Sea.
All of them felt a slight tremor.
Haixuan Island.
The Cong Yunhai Mutual Aid Association, which already had eighteen cultivators, was originally discussing the organization’s future plans enthusiastically.
At this moment, they were all quiet in an instant.
The people looked at each other in disbelief.
“Eh? Just now, it shouldn’t be my illusion, right?” He Zhenghao asked with a somewhat uncertain look.
Fellow Daoist He was worthy of being a handsome man who recognized the times.
Although he missed the opportunity to join the Society for the first time. But after he confirmed that the news of Pei Dao’s successful promotion to YuanYing was true, he immediately visited Ji ShaoLi again.
Even after being turned away for seven long days, he still didn’t give up.
On the contrary, perseverance, has been sending messages, expounding his strong desire to join.
In the end, Ji Shao Li was impressed by his sincerity.
He Zhenghao thus became one of the second batch of eleven cultivators to join the Cong Yunhai Mutual Aid Association.
Ji Shao Li stroked his beard.
Pei Ta, the highest cultivator among the crowd, was looking in the direction of Flag Ridge State with a grave expression, “It’s not an illusion. Even here, we can sense the earth trembling slightly. It seems that things are not small.”
“Terrifying. I wonder how many cultivators are going to die tragically in this calamity.”
“Could it be that the war is starting up again?”
……
The crowd murmured.
In the end, it was Ji Shao Li, who was always keeping an eye on the movements of the Immortal Alliance, who read out the official announcement first.
“An earth tremor has occurred in the Flag Ridge Prefecture, and there are already Harmonized Dao cultivators rushing to the scene at the first opportunity.”
“The earth quake has gradually subsided, and no cultivators have fallen for the time being.”
“After preliminary investigation, the possibility of a subsequent continuing disaster has been ruled out.”
“No need to be nervous ……”
After Ji Shao Li slowly finished reading, he looked at the people in the field, “Everyone, what do you think?”
Xiang Xin snorted coldly, “A disaster of this magnitude, saying that no cultivators have fallen. Who believes it?”
Some cultivators agreed on the spot, “Not bad. In my opinion, it’s another deliberate whitewash by the Immortal Alliance.”
“It’s really getting over the top, not even bothering to make it up?”
……
The crowd’s reaction was expected by Ji Shao Li.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Honored One’s group was the originator of the Flag Ridge Prefecture’s ground shaking incident, I’m afraid he would have never believed that a calamity of such a horrific scale wouldn’t have something as absurd as a cultivator’s casualties.
However, he had no intention of coming forward to correct him.
Ji Shao Li smiled faintly and said, ”Alright, let’s end the discussion of this matter here. There’s no harm in talking about it amongst ourselves, but when it comes to the outside, it’s better to lay it out in the stomach. Otherwise, it will easily lead to unnecessary trouble.”
Among the people present, no one was rash. Immediately, they nodded their heads and responded.
Ji Shao Li also brought the conversation back to the point.
“It’s not that the organization can’t trust everyone. This matter is really important, if there is a slight leak, I’m afraid that all of you here will be unable to escape death.”
“Therefore, it is necessary for all of you to make an oath in front of the statue of the [True Immortal of Saving Suffering and Red Dust Compassion].”
Ji Shao Li placed a red deed with a demonic aura in front of everyone.
Without the slightest hesitation, Pei Ta was the first to make a poisonous oath and inscribe his name on the deed.
The rest of the few people followed suit.
Ji Shao Li nodded with satisfaction and the red deed book was put away.
He asked, “What do you all think about the Immortal Alliance Examination soon?” The crowd froze slightly, not knowing what Ji Shao Li meant for a moment.
This was because all of the people present, all of them were already serving in the Immortal Alliance system.
This time, although the great examination was so powerful that it expanded half of the positions. But it also had nothing to do with their group.
Unless ……
they resigned their own positions now and reapplied for the exam with a white body.
It’s not like this hasn’t happened in the past.
There is only a great deal of dissatisfaction with the position they now hold. And for a long time, there was no hope of promotion in sight.
And also ambitious cultivators will be so.
After all, it is not easy to take the examination, who can guarantee that after resigning from the original position, you can successfully re-enter it?
And to do so would be to offend their original superiors.
If you can’t successfully re-enter, I’m afraid you’ll have to consider leaving the country and taking refuge.
If you don’t have absolute confidence, almost no one would choose this approach, which is like breaking one’s wrist.
Ji Shao Li see all the people in the field are silent, also first do not explain.
Instead, he distributed a jade slip to each person’s hand.
After the crowd had a look, they frowned.
They could naturally tell that the contents of the jade slips were the format of the grand exam questions.
“It’s hard to ……”
Thinking back to Ji Shao Li’s mysterious actions earlier.
As well as the Mutual Aid Society’s deeply hidden and terrifying background.
A conjecture couldn’t help but appear in the hearts of the crowd.
“Is it possible?”
Soon, they all secretly shook their heads and rejected it themselves.
The Immortal Alliance Entrance Exam questions were the secrets of secrets.
Even if they secretly spat from time to time that the Immortal Alliance was corrupt. But for so many years, they had never heard of the Great Examination Questions leaking.
Although the Mutual Aid Society definitely had the support of a great power behind it.
But ……
The scene was dead silent for a moment.
It was still Ji Shao Li who spoke out, confirming the speculation that they didn’t even dare to think about in their hearts.
“If there are no surprises, the contents of this session’s Grand Examination questions should all be within this jade slip.”
The words were soft.
In the ears of the crowd, they were tantamount to thunder.
On the spot, there were quite a few cultivators who directly stood up and looked at Ji Shao Li with jaws agape.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, is this true?”
“When have I ever lied to you?” Ji Shao Li cut through.
There was a moment of silence, giving the crowd time to slow down and take in the huge shock.
Ji Shao Li looked at He Zheng Hao and the others, with varying expressions, and spoke once more, “Although, with the support of the organization. Everyone’s strength is bound to skyrocket in a short period of time. But it’s still a bit difficult to get promoted on this.”
“After all, those who are willing to join our Mutual Aid Society won’t have any strong backgrounds.”
“Moreover, Cong Yunhai is a remote place. It can’t be compared to the Immortal Alliance’s central prosperous state region.”
……
After Ji Shao Li explained the reason why he wanted to help the crowd.
He opened his mouth and asked, “The real questions of the Great Examination are here. I wonder, which Daoists are willing to put up a fight?”
The moment these words came out, the arena was immediately plunged into deathly silence.
From the expressions on the faces of the crowd, one could see the entanglement within their hearts.
“Merely an offer of help for you fellow Daoists. It’s all up to you guys to make your own decisions, and it’s never forced.” Ji Shaoli added with a smile.
