447 Sky Surveillance Guard (2)
Great Sage Qianhe said matter-of-factly.
The corners of the three Palace Masters’ mouths twitched. Good lord, you’re really not polite. You still have the cheek to ask for compensation?
“It’s not impossible to compensate. Are you interested in joining us? If you join my Heaven Patrolling Hall, compensation will naturally be justifiable.”
Hunluo Sage’s words were shocking. He actually opened his mouth to invite Song Shi.
“What kind of treatment?”
Song Shi was not interested in joining any faction, but since he had just arrived, he had to find a place to stay. Therefore, he did not mind staying for the time being.
“Normal treatment. You just came here. Don’t tell me you want to be alone, right?”
The Hunluo Grand Sage did not give Song Shi any special treatment, but he still offered compensation. “As for compensation, I can give you a sufficient portion of the Mortal Cleansing Pills. It will allow you to quickly integrate into the rules of the Black Spirit Realm and prevent you from being struck by lightning.”
“Being struck by lightning?”
Song Shi could not help but think of the lightning tribulation he had encountered when he first entered the Demon Realm.
“You still don’t know, right? Different realms have different rules. Even if the lower realm you’re in was once a subsidiary realm of the Black Spirit Realm, the rules of different realms are ultimately different. Once you enter the Black Spirit Realm, you’ll definitely be struck by lightning because of the difference in aura until the aura on your body is cleansed.”
The Hunluo Grand Sage said calmly, “Every ascendant who doesn’t want to be struck by lightning must consume enough Dust Cleansing Pills to wash away the aura of the outside world and quickly transform.”
Song Shi was enlightened. He had experienced it before and knew that the other party was not exaggerating, but he was not afraid of being struck to death by lightning.
“Can you give me Spirit Stones and elixirs to increase my cultivation instead of the Cleansing Pill?”
Song Shi asked.
“What?”
Hunluo Grand Sage did not understand. “These things are in the daily offerings. What are you in a hurry to do?”
“I want to recover my Nomological power as soon as possible. In addition, I’m staying here and haven’t entered the Black Spirit Realm. I’m not in a hurry to get the Dust Cleansing Pill.”
Song Shi could not say that he wanted to be struck by lightning. If he did, people would think that he was mentally ill.
“That’s true, but you still have to go to the Black Spirit Realm in the end. I’ll keep the Cleansing Pill for you. I can give you more spirit stones and pills in advance and deduct them from the offerings in the future.”
Hunluo Sage nodded. He did not doubt why Song Shi did not want the Mortal Cleansing Pill first. “Now, give me a definite answer. Do you want to join the Heaven Patrolling Hall?”
Song Shi warned him in advance.
Hunluo Saint nodded and looked at the Vajra Saint. “He will work under you. Arrange for him to be a fourth-grade Heaven Patrolling Guard.”
“Yes, Hall Master.”
The Vajra Saint accepted the order.
Great Sage Starsong and Great Sage Qianhe looked at each other, feeling a little regretful.
Actually, they were also interested in a talent like Song Shi. However, this person had been discovered by the Heaven Patrolling Hall, so it was not appropriate for them to snatch him away first.
“Arrange for him to stay. When his Nomological power is restored, he will lead the patrols. Recently, because of the Demon Refinement Land, the patrol quests have been rather heavy.”
Hunluo Grand Sage waved his hand.
“Little Song, follow me.”
The Vajra Saint smiled at Song Shi and turned to lead the way.
Song Shi did not say anything else and followed him out of the hall.
“Congratulations, Brother Hun Luo. With another genius, there might be a powerhouse in the future.”
Great Sage Qianhe smiled and cupped his hands.
“No, he’s quite arrogant. He might have caused some trouble. I asked him to stay because ascendants have to come here to complete missions to obtain the Mortal Cleansing Pills.”
Hunluo Grand Sage shook his head.
The Vajra Saint who walked out of the hall also said to Song Shi, “You agreed, right? Because even if you don’t join our Heaven Patrolling Hall, if you want to obtain the Mortal Cleansing Pills, you have to make enough contributions to the Black Spirit Palace.”
“There’s such a thing?”
Song Shi was surprised. He did not know.
“Of course. Could it be that the Mortal Cleansing Pills are provided for free to you ascenders?”
The Vajra Saint pursed his lips. “If not for your extraordinary talent and the fact that you were valued by the Hall Master, you would have to work here for a hundred years to obtain enough Mortal Cleansing Pills.”
“Oh, then I have to thank the Palace Master.”
Song Shi smiled and could not help but look at the people outside who were curious about why he was fine. “Are they mostly ascenders?”
“How can there be so many? Only a small portion of them are. Their talent is not bad in the lower realm. They’re basically geniuses who call themselves Divine Bodies, but they’re quite ordinary here. A few of the slightly more powerful factions in the Black Spirit Realm don’t have Divine Bodies. It’s quite common to see more powerful Saint Bodies.”
Song Shi seemed to be deep in thought as he picked up on something.
“Looks like the Black Spirit Realm is similar to the Heavenly Demon World. Bloodlines are respected. Powerful bloodlines naturally have an advantage.”
The Vajra Saint nodded. “That’s right. Our world is indeed similar to the situation in the Heavenly Demon World. We use our race and bloodline as the foundation to carry on the inheritance. It’s the same for all races.”
“…”
Song Shi was speechless. “If someone with average Talent wants to stand out, I’m afraid it’ll be extremely difficult.”
“That’s right. The worse one’s Talent is, the harder it is to break through. Some geniuses are born with a very high upper and lower limit, unlike me. I’ve basically reached the limit of becoming a Sage. It’s difficult to advance further.”
The Vajra Saint sighed and thought of his great-great-grandson with outstanding Talent. “That great-great-grandson of mine originally had a chance to inherit my mantle and become the second Saint of my Jin family. Now that he has been swallowed by the Demon Refinement Ground and his fate is unknown, I’m really angry.”
“Why are you counting on your descendants? If you work hard yourself, your family will instantly benefit.”
Song Shi comforted.
“Sigh, I want to merge with them, but it’s not that easy.”
The Vajra Saint smiled bitterly. “I won’t hide it from you. My Talent is very ordinary. I was originally an ordinary body refinement warrior. I was a Yellow-scarved Strongman who worked his hardest for others. If I hadn’t accidentally obtained a saint-grade cultivation technique and was able to endure hardships myself. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to reach where I am today.”
“I admire people like you who relied on your own hard work to get to where you are. Those who relied on their bloodlines are nothing. Isn’t it because of the benefits left behind by their ancestors?”
Song Shi praised. In fact, he was even more shameless than those who relied on their bloodline. He was cheating with his system.
“Little friend Song is right.”
The Vajra Saint smiled and felt much better. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to where you’re staying. You lack spirit stones and pills, right? I’ll lend you some first. Remember to return them to me when you receive the offerings.”
Song Shi’s words had pulled the two of them closer. The Vajra Saint generously took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Song Shi. “You can take one now to recover some Nomological power. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to walk here.”
“Thank you!”
After thanking him, Song Shi took the pill and opened it solemnly.
This was the first time he cared so much about this thing. If his Nomological power was not obtained through refreshing after death, he could only cultivate normally.
He opened the bottle and took out a pill. After eating one, the pill turned into pure energy and spread, causing Song Shi’s Nomological power recovery speed to suddenly increase.
Song Shi’s body lit up as Nomological power fluctuations appeared. He naturally floated up and regained his ability to fly.
“Young friend, over here.”
Seeing that Song Shi could fly, the Vajra Saint also flew up and flew towards a row of houses.
“Our Heaven Patrolling Hall usually only has thirty thousand cultivators stationed here. It’s divided into ten patrol teams. Each team is divided into ten teams. The positions are divided into Great Commander and Commander ranks. Basically, they are held by Great Saints and Saints. The lowest cultivation level of the Normal Patrolling Guards is the Nascent Soul realm, and most of them are at the Divine Transformation realm. The internal treatment is divided into nine ranks. Your fourth-grade is already the best below the Saint realm. Every month, you will receive one thousand high-grade spirit stones and a bottle of fifth-grade medicinal pills. There will be a special reward for completing the mission.”
As he flew, he introduced the situation to Song Shi. Song Shi listened along the way and arrived at the place where he was about to stay.
There were rows of courtyards here. They weren’t big, but they all had Array Formations. The interior environment was beautiful, and the Spiritual Qi was abundant. It was completely enough for him to cultivate.
This was the place that Song Shi wanted. Coupled with the pills, he was confident that he could quickly increase his cultivation level.
“Old Tang, I’m out to do something.”
When they landed, the Vajra Saint shouted somewhere.
Swoosh!
A gray-robed elder who was probably the manager of this residence appeared. He glanced at Song Shi and said, “Brother Vajra, is this a newcomer? He looks pretty good.”
“Of course, the Palace Masters have taken a fancy to him. Quickly find an empty courtyard for him to stay in.”
The Vajra Saint urged and said to Song Shi, “Stay here first. I’ll make an identity token for you. You can rest for a month. You can patrol with us after you’ve adjusted.”
