Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"Is this uncle going to buy beast bones?" Fairy Zixia looked at Zhang Xuan with her lively eyes.

"Uncle..." Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched again, and his heart was hit again.

He was in his early thirties this year, and the other sixteen-year-old girl called him uncle, which was indeed normal.

"The last batch of beast bones purchased have been sold out. If you still want them, come back in a month. At that time, my bone storage building should have a new batch of beast bones."

"Okay." Zhang Xuan nodded.

Next, Qin Xiao took the two of them to the 72nd floor.

Fourth-level elixir, inherited ancient treasure, fourth-level spirit wine...

Let the two of them dazzled.

Unfortunately, these high-level spirit materials can only be sold to first-level affiliated forces, or officials above the master of the house.

Even if there are spirit stones, the serving elders of small forces like Zhang Xuan can't buy them.

Besides, he doesn't have so many spirit stones.

Until now, Zhang Xuan finally understood what Qin Xiao meant by living in the holy land is very difficult.

He hadn't bought the fourth-level spiritual materials yet, but he had already bought some skills and techniques, third-level spiritual ores, and spent half of the spiritual stones he brought from Fairy Cat Valley.

"The consumption here is too high, and the spiritual stones are simply too much to bear." Zhang Xuan sighed.

The day was about to end.

Qin Xiao asked: "Has Fellow Daoist Zhang thought it through? Should we make some arrangements so that the Ministry of Revenue's Supervisor can arrange an easy job for him?"

"How many spiritual stones will it cost to make some arrangements?"

"One million medium-grade spiritual stones."

"What? Is it so expensive to make some arrangements?"

"These spiritual stones are not just for the Ministry of Revenue's Supervisor alone. He has to hand over 90% of the spiritual stones to his superior, Shouque. Shouque also has to pay tribute to his superiors, and the higher the official position, the more spiritual stones he gets."

"I heard that talents with hundreds of arts can enter the Ministry of Arts by their own ability."

"What kind of hundreds of arts are you proficient in?"

"Alchemy."

"Can Fellow Daoist Zhang make third-level spiritual pills?"

"No." Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Now he can only refine the second-grade high-quality elixir.

He can't even refine the third-grade elixir.

"That won't work. You must be able to refine the third-grade elixir to enter the Hundred Arts Department."

"Do you have to reach the third grade in weapons, talismans and other arts to enter the Hundred Arts Department?"

"Yes."

"If I take out 1 million middle-grade spiritual stones to pay tribute to the prison gate, can you assign me those officials?"

"You can go to the prison room of the Administrative Affairs Department to guard the serious criminals. Although there are five evil spirits in it, as long as you buy some third-grade Qingsha pills regularly, it is still no problem to remove the five evil spirits. It's safer and you don't have to fight outside."

"1 million middle-grade spiritual stones are too expensive. I'd better go to the Zhengxi Department." Zhang Xuan sighed.

"I'm afraid you haven't heard about it yet. Recently, the war between our Dongming Treasure Domain and Cangwu Treasure Domain has become more brutal. I heard that Bai Yu Tianpeng, one of the nine demon kings under the peerless demon emperor, has taken action. Unfortunately, several generals in the Yuanying realm of Zhengxi Division have died at the hands of Bai Yu Tianpeng."

"What? Even Yuanying cultivators have died on the front line?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

"Yes, I heard that Bai Yu Tianpeng has absorbed a trace of the true phoenix aura, and is invincible at the same level. If the spirit transformation does not take action, the peak of the Yuanying may not be his opponent."

Zhang Xuan's mind turned rapidly.

He originally wanted to save this tribute of spiritual stones and join the Zhengxi Division.

Maybe he can get some military merits and join the Warehouse Division at that time.

Unexpectedly, Zhengxi Division is so dangerous now, even a large number of Yuanying cultivators have died.

He is just a small Jindan, and he dare not be stubborn to join Zhengxi Division now.

Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Please help me, Fellow Daoist Qin, to see if I can join other departments."

"Sure, sure. My father is the chief historian of Chongwen Academy. He still has a say in the Ministry of Revenue of the Political Affairs Department. But..."

"As long as the matter is done, Fellow Daoist Qin will definitely benefit from it."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is really generous. The package price after the matter is done is 2.2 million middle-grade spiritual stones."

"Didn't you just say 1 million middle-grade spiritual stones?"

"1 million middle-grade spiritual stones is the price for one person, 2 million middle-grade spiritual stones for two people, and I will be the intermediary fee of 100,000 middle-grade spiritual stones for each person."

Zhang Xuan felt a pang of pain when he heard it.

This time, just to smooth the relationship and find a good job, he almost spent all the spiritual stones on him.

"Pay half first, and pay the other half after the matter is done." Qin Xiao continued.

"What if it doesn't work?"

"Hahaha... My Qin family has always been known for its integrity. As long as there are spirit stones, we will do the work. If the work is not done, we will not charge a penny."

"I have to pay a deposit in advance?"

Zhang Xuan's heart was beating again.

What if the other party disappears after paying the spirit stones?

Qin Xiao seemed to see what Zhang Xuan was thinking, and said leisurely: "Daoyou Zhang, don't you trust me?"

Zhang Xuan looked up at Qin Xiao, as if saying: "Do you think I believe it?"

Qin Xiao sighed and said: "Okay, okay, I'll take a loss this time, how about paying the spirit stones after the work is done?"

"This-" Zhang Xuan's eyes rolled twice, "This is OK."

Qin Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Daoyou Zhang is a spiritual farmer?"

"How do you know?"

"Because you are stingy and shrewd like a spiritual farmer." Qin Xiao thought.

However, of course he would not say what he thought in his heart, but just laughed and said: "I guessed."

"When do we go to the Office of the Ministry of Revenue to register? I'm afraid that if I go too late, the good job will be taken by others."

"We can go now."

"Then please lead the way, Fellow Daoist Qin."

The three of them took the spirit boat and passed through the tall buildings.

They arrived in front of the Temple of the God of War.

At this moment, the Temple of the God of War was magnificent and was located on a fourth-level top-level spiritual vein.

The surrounding spiritual energy was rich.

If the high-level spirit gathering array was added, the spiritual energy was as rich as that of a fifth-level spiritual vein.

There were several side halls outside the Temple of the God of War, which were the six departments and one courtyard.

"This is the Office of the Ministry of Government." Qin Xiao pointed to a side hall and said.

Zhang Xuan and Lao Youtou followed Qin Xiao and walked towards the Office of the Ministry of Government.

The guard of the Office of the Ministry of Government checked the service order in Zhang Xuan's hand and let him in.

Qin Xiao was familiar with the way and found the Office of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Uncle Liu——" Qin Xiao shouted.

A cultivator in the late Jindan period, dressed in official uniform, sat in front of the desk.

"Are you the kid from the Qin family, and are you bringing people to serve again?"

"Yes, as usual, please Uncle Liu make good arrangements, and I will give you a gift later, hehe..."

"There are many fallen monks in Zhengxi Division now, and we are short of people!"

"Why... can't this be done?"

"That's not it," the late Jindan cultivator stroked his goatee and said, "You have to pay more."

"Ah? Uncle Liu, these two are my friends, and I have already negotiated the price with them."

"Okay, okay, just this once."

"Thank you Uncle Liu, come to my house for a drink later." Qin Xiao said with a smile.

The late Jindan cultivator took out two blank tokens, handed them to Zhang Xuan and the others, and said, "Inject a wisp of your consciousness into the token, and from now on, this will be your identity token."
