The Days of Competition Chapter 2

After a long time, Aiden Shao said lightly, "Oh", turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, why are you so hot-tempered young? Can you leave? There are a bunch of people waiting for you down there. If I hadn't stopped them at the foot of the mountain, you would have an iron chain around your neck now!" As he spoke, the white-haired Taoist appeared in front of him again. He stretched out his right hand, and the surrounding barren mountains and forests turned into the exit of the path down the mountain. Several martial artists who had been chasing him for a long time were patrolling back and forth, waiting for him to fall into their trap.

This is really a divine method. This old Taoist is not a liar like them! Aiden Shao held his breath, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and his thin and long fox eyes widened a little. He habitually waved his whisk and bowed: "Senior, which sect are you from? I am Aiden Shao of the Taoist Xuanlian Sect. I am honored to meet you. Please don't mind my previous offense and take me into the mountains to practice."

The white-haired Taoist nodded slightly, and held out a jade slip with dignity and handed it to him: "You and I are not destined to be master and disciple, but I can show you a clear path - here is a universal version of 300 simulations of 500 years of cultivation, as long as you exchange it for one coin of luck. Do the questions and simulations well, and after a hundred years, you can choose any sect in the world!"

"A hundred years later? In a year, the grass on my grave will be taller than a person! Don't joke with me, Immortal. I am being chased everywhere now. If you really want to save me, you'd better get me out of this mountain as soon as possible." As for luck... this kind of luck that can't even be overturned when setting up a small fortune-telling stall is really worthless. He doesn't have any big ambitions in this life. It's enough for him to refine elixirs in rich families and eat and drink for free like his senior brothers!

"Without the foundation of solving problems for thousands of years, how can you expect to achieve immortality?" The white-haired Taoist took back the jade slip and looked at him with regret, as if observing something deeper through his appearance. He sighed deeply: "Since you can't concentrate on solving problems, you can only practice at work and understand the origin of the Tao in the process of practicing self-recognition of multiple parallel universes."

It turned out to be a real immortal. He understood every word he said, but when they were put together, no one could guess what it meant. Aiden Shao looked at the Taoist priest with great respect and bowed his head: "I will do whatever you say, Immortal. When will you take me away from here?"

The Taoist priest waved his sleeves and took out a white ball of light from his arms. He immersed his consciousness in it and looked through it for a while, then looked up at him: "Your fate is extremely special. Although you are destined to go through hardships, you will always encounter a turning point at the critical moment. You also have a strong desire and ability to survive. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance just happens to have a job suitable for you - are you willing to leave this small world and go to other worlds to do some rescue work?"

"I will save you!" Aiden Shao agreed without thinking, his long and thin fox eyes curved, looking at the immortal with a sparkling gaze: "Can we go now? By the way, the immortal has great magical powers, can you help me get the medicine cauldron from the mountain temple down there? This is the only valuable thing I have now."

The white-haired Taoist waved his hand, and a half-man-high golden medicine furnace slowly floated over from the air. Aiden Shao rushed over in surprise, hugged the medicine furnace, lifted it to his shoulder with one hand, swung his whisk with his right hand, and nodded to the Taoist priest: "Thank you, Immortal, shall we go now?"

He looked like an ordinary mortal, but he could carry a medicine cauldron weighing several hundred kilograms without even shaking. He had a promising future. The white-haired Taoist priest waved his sleeves, and white clouds rose under his feet, carrying the two of them into the clouds and landing in an ordinary residential courtyard in the city at the foot of the mountain.

It was Aiden Shao's first time to fly on a cloud. He was so excited that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. When he entered the house, he was still holding the copper furnace in a daze, not knowing how to put it down. The white-haired Taoist took his medicine furnace and put it in the corner of the room. He flipped his hand and took out a round ball of light emitting soft white light. He squeezed it with one hand and spread the light throughout the room. He introduced it in a gentle voice:

"Take a look at this first... This is a game produced by a female sect that is the best at illusion in the universe. Anyone who enters the game can use the client's illusion power to travel through many small worlds and enjoy the customs of various places. However, due to the shortage of manpower in the production company Qian Shen Pavilion, the travel version can only directly put players into the real small world instead of the world created by illusion, so players will encounter many real dangers from the local area. The disciples of the production company were unable to provide rescue, so they asked us to hire non-staff rescue personnel."

From the moment the light ball spread out to form a picture around him, Aiden Shao's pair of thin, curved fox eyes widened like cat eyes, looking around from time to time, immersed in the ever-changing real and strange scene. But when the white-haired Taoist said that someone needed rescue, he immediately came back to his senses from the intoxicating fairy scene, and asked with a sharp look in his eyes: "The immortal said that I should practice while working, that is, to save people in these places? But I don't see how this can be practiced, or do I need to save people while doing the five hundred or three hundred year questions you mentioned?"

The Taoist lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "No need to call me Immortal Master. I am Caleb Xu, the consul assigned by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to this world. My job is to discover good immortals like you and promote this game. If you plan to accept this job, we will be colleagues and you can call me by my name."

"Brother Jiang Yuan," Aiden Shao bluntly brought the two closer, his lips curled up, his eyes sparkled, revealing a smile that didn't look like a good Taoist priest's. He said sincerely: "You saved my life, so just tell me what you want me to do."

Caleb Xu smiled calmly, and took out a jade slip to record his cultivation records for him. He also gave him a set of jade slips of "Basic Knowledge of Immortal Cultivation" and a set of the primary version of "One Hundred Thousand Whys". These basic training materials were included in the employee benefits, but the more in-depth 53 sets of questions and various simulations were charged. He was penniless now and could only use his luck to pay for it. It was really not cost-effective. He might as well work for a few months and receive the subsidy before buying it.

Aiden Shao was very interested in the "luck to pay debt" method, and took the initiative to ask him: "If I take away all this luck, will people stop coJace to elope with me? Isn't this a good thing? I don't care whether I can become a king in the future. It's good to be able to cultivate immortality with you and save people."

Caleb Xu smiled and said, "You have met me now, which means you have survived the lowest point in your life. This good fortune will help you avoid death and prolong your life, and reach the peak of your life. Don't waste it easily. But if you just want to avoid peach blossoms, I can think of a way for you."

He reached into his bosom, and when he stretched out his hand, a gray bead appeared. He threw it over his head, then connected the hand seals and injected his true energy into it. The bead circled above his head for a long time, emitting a soft light, which gradually grew and condensed, forJace a strange scimitar that fell into his hand.

The appearance of the knife was like gold but not gold, like iron but not iron. The blade was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with an obvious inward curve where the width changed. The blade was cold and clear, with red marks on it, but it felt warm to the touch and did not seem to be made of metal.

"This knife is... is it the product of my good luck in love? It can actually condense a person's destiny into a knife... Brother Jiang Yuan really has supernatural powers!" Aiden Shao stared at Caleb Xu in surprise and admiration, wishing he could kneel down and become his disciple on the spot.

Caleb Xu did not take credit for it, and said calmly: "This fortune-fixing bead is an office supply I gave you in advance, you should cherish it. This knife is condensed from luck, and it can also cut through ghosts and karmic entanglements between reality and illusion. You can study its specific usage in practice."

There was a lot of meaning in what he said. Aiden Shao now knew that he was not a liar. He was really reluctant to let go and secretly thought about whether he should sell the alchemy furnace and treat the other party to a meal.

Thinking of eating, his stomach growled uncontrollably. Caleb Xu remembered that he had interrupted his breakfast when he heard the sound, so he smiled apologetically, took out a lifeguard-only pass token and a bottle of pills from his sleeve pouch and pushed them to him: "I have been enlightened for many years and forgot that mortals need to eat. I don't have any fasting pills, so you can take this bottle of soul-enriching pills to fill the void. After you officially join the company, Qianmi Pavilion will allocate you currency and life-saving supplies for the world you are going to. Eat well when you get there."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang Yuan." He had been refining elixirs for his entire life, but this was the first time he had seen the real thing. He was reluctant to eat it, so he quickly took it in his arms with great care, and then held up the thin, curved, jade-shaped pale golden Tongjie Order and asked, "How do I use this?"

"Give me your spiritual consciousness --- oh, you don't have spiritual consciousness, then give me your hand, I will help you force out your blood essence to recognize the master..." Caleb Xu held his index finger, and the true essence penetrated his body, helping him force out a drop of heart blood to smear on the Tongjie Order. The moment the heart blood was applied, he felt like there was something alive in his body sharing his perception. In front of him, he could not only see this small room, but also a wide and bright space overlapped. The two spaces became virtual and real, and returned to simplicity from overlapping.

After all the changes were over, the hut where the immortal lived disappeared, and Aiden Shao stood on a vast grassland, holding a double-strap backpack made of extremely thick and stiff material in his hands. He suddenly remembered that his only possession, the alchemy furnace, was still at Caleb Xu's place. Just as he was regretting not taking it with him, the alchemy furnace suddenly appeared and fell to his feet with a thud, pressing the grass down half an inch.

Um…that knife?

The knife jumped out again and fell into the stove with a clang.

Uh…whisk?

The whisk fell down, which meant that his wish came true.

Then...Brother Jiang Yuan? Master Xu? Benefactor?

After thinking about it several times, nothing fell down. It seems that you can't get what you want here. You have to bring things with you to get out. Aiden Shao was a little disappointed, but soon he became open---he can now work for the immortal sect, and he can be considered a proper Taoist priest. If he practices well, maybe he will see him again one day. When the time comes, I will definitely treat Xu Xianchang to a good meal, and I will pick up those things that the nobleman likes to eat and are very nourishing. What about golden and silver pigeons, cistanche pig lung soup, boiled fish, grilled lamb on iron plate, braised bull whip...

Just as he was drooling as he prepared the menu, a long scroll suddenly popped out of his schoolbag and hit him in the face, and at the same time an ethereal and pleasant voice rang in his ears.

"Now we begin the rescue practice training. Please open the training outline scroll at 4.5 inches. The first lesson is to quickly calculate the gravity and fluid resistance of different worlds through simple actions."

Am I...going to die?
