In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 242 Work for me for a few years!
"Huh? You guys? Help me?"

Xie Lingxin looked surprised.

This caused all the trial participants to blush with embarrassment.

Given the strength Xie Lingxin just displayed, this is indeed a joke.

"what on earth do you want?"

The Beggars' Sect leader stepped forward from the crowd and said in a deep voice.

Xie Lingxin glanced at them and smiled, "I saved you, so it's not too much for you to repay me, is it?"

"W-what?!"

Everyone was stunned, somewhat unable to believe their ears.

How can anyone be so shameless!

The Beggars' Sect leader's face twitched: "How do you intend to repay me?"

Xie Lingxin chuckled: "I bet you're all from powerful clans, right? A life must be worth at least thirty to fifty million, right?"

"!?"

"Xie... Li Rui, don't push your luck!"

Thirty to fifty million is nothing to most of them.

But... it's too humiliating!
"You're impressive, but what can you do if there are so many of us joining forces?!"

They weren't fools; Xie Lingxin was indeed incredibly strong.

But Gang was able to achieve such a tremendous victory thanks to that magical artifact.

In that clear, blue light, they felt they could exert only a fraction of their strength!

If it weren't for this, even if they were no match for it, they wouldn't have been completely helpless against that Buddha's palm.

Without that magic weapon, Xie Ling thought that it would be impossible to deal with so many of them at the same time without paying a price!
Xie Lingxin remained unperturbed upon hearing this, and laughed, "So you know that too? But I do have a magic weapon, what can you do to me?"

Others know, and he knows, that his palm-sized Buddha Kingdom is powerful and least afraid of group attacks.

One person or ten people make no difference to him.

But it's impossible to deal with so many people who are roughly equal to him or even stronger than him at the same time, not to mention there are more than twenty demons of level 15 or above.

The Xuanhe Barrier played a crucial role in achieving such results.

But so what?
The Xuanhe Bise Banner was something he had painstakingly crafted himself, and now he's being told not to use it?

This is strength!
Even if you don't agree, you have to hold it in!

"If you think you're worthless, then work for me for a few years!"

Xie Lingxin's true intentions were revealed at the last moment.

Most of these people did not actually show any malice.

He's not so bad as to actually want to cause trouble for anyone.

All the trial participants were intelligent and immediately realized they had been tricked.

The First Swordsman of the Southern Heaven stepped forward and said, "What do you want us to do? Just say it. If it's within our power, we'll do it without hesitation. Consider it the price for our recklessness today."

Although they claimed to be "fellow villagers" who helped, most of them probably had the intention of taking advantage of the situation.

Since they've given us leverage, we have no choice but to accept it.

"wait!"

Xie Lingxin turned around and called out, asking Su Zhen to bring paper and pen.

I quickly made a list of dozens of pages!
"Come on, come on! One for each person, there are plenty, don't fight over them!"

The papers were handed out to everyone one by one.

The Beggars' Sect leader and the others took the paper, glanced at it, and their eyes widened in astonishment.

A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he said, "W-what do you mean?"

"I'm entrusting this matter to you!"

Everyone was furious upon hearing this.

"Are you kidding me?! I'd rather pay!"

This paper lists some rare and precious natural treasures, which may not all be worth tens of millions in value.

But in terms of rarity, tens of millions is still easy for them!
Xie Lingxin was overjoyed: "Hey, I wouldn't mind if you gave it to me!"

"Oh, right, there are also legendary creatures around level 20. If you know where to find them, let me know, and I can work with you to get them!"

"cooperate?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Hahahaha!"

Xie Lingxin suddenly burst into laughter: "What? You really think I'm the kind of shameless person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes?"

"You...you aren't you?"

"What words!"

Xie Lingxin waved her hand: "Suzhen, quickly prepare the feast, I want to entertain my friends!"

"Come on, what are you all standing for? Come inside! Sit down! We can talk about it after we eat!"

Xie Lingxin suddenly changed her attitude, becoming incredibly enthusiastic.

Who are these people? How can they change their expressions like that?

Although the trial participants were unwilling to admit it, they were all genuinely flattered by Xie Lingxin's actions.

If this guy hadn't tried to extort them and had just started by saying nice things, some of them would have thought it was nothing special and that it was perfectly normal.

I might not bother with him.

Humans are just so despicable!

This was also Xie Lingxin's purpose.

Having been in the Federation for so long, he knows it all too well.

These people all came from prominent families, and they were all proud and arrogant.
Even if you are better than him, it doesn't necessarily mean you can make him submit to you.

Because no matter how strong you are, you are still just one person.

What's the use of being good at something if you're the only one who's capable?

Now that he has dealt them a thorough blow, where is the last bit of arrogance left in these people?
Instead, they crowded into Bai Juyi's mansion, almost scrambling to get in. "I was just joking! I just wanted to discuss a collaboration with everyone."

The host and guests took their seats, and Xie Lingxin smiled as she looked at the crowded room full of trial participants.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

The Beggars' Sect leader now realized that Xie Lingxin's actions just now were all for a purpose.

Needless to say, it's this piece of paper in my hand.

But he still asked a question.

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "Although I was joking just now, I really am looking for a Primordial Great Demon, as well as the rare and precious materials on this piece of paper in your hands."

"Whoever it is, if we can find them, we can cooperate."

The Beggars' Sect leader said, "Cooperation is certainly no problem, but how do you want to cooperate?"

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "You should know that I have a batch of official positions. There aren't many, more than twenty. You can exchange one innate great demon or one rare treasure for an official position."

The Beggars' Sect leader suddenly stood up: "Are you serious?!"

The First Sword of the Southern Heaven also stood up: "Thank you... Your Highness Prince Jing, you're not joking, are you?"

The others looked on in shock as well.

It's not because of a powerful innate demon or the rare treasures on this paper that it's unworthy of an official position.

That depends on how you calculate it.

In a sense, whether it's a powerful innate demon or a rare and precious treasure, its value lies in a simple "ticket".

But for them, the significance of a "ticket" far outweighs those precious but useless natural treasures.

Whether it's alchemy or treasure crafting, both require a huge price to pay.

No matter how precious natural treasures are, in their hands, they have little value other than being exchanged for money.

Money? Money is the last thing they lack!

What they lack is opportunity!
The official position Xie Lingxin holds is an opportunity!
Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "If you're not comfortable with that, we can also trade through the mission hall."

"it is good!"

The Beggars' Sect leader was the first to agree: "It's settled then!"

Fearing that Xie Lingxin might change her mind.

Xie Lingxin smiled and directly posted a task in the All-Knowing Task Hall: Collect rare and precious materials.

The bounty on the mission was his official position.

Aside from some important positions, he also held about twenty insignificant official posts, all of which were only seventh rank.

This Grand Commander was originally just a figurehead; it was impossible for him to do anything "big" with this title.

It would be better to exchange an official position for something more practical.

Upon seeing this, the Beggars' Sect leader and others all smiled.

Rare and precious materials are hard to find, but with their abilities, finding one or two is not a difficult task.

As for innate great demons?

I'd better not, it's too dangerous.

"I've long heard of Prince Jing's reputation, and seeing him today, I can confirm that it truly lives up to its name!"

The number one swordsman of Tiannan said, "In my opinion, Prince Jing is in no way inferior to those so-called prodigies."

"If we ever reach the Thirty-Sixth Heaven in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to let those geniuses know what it means to be outmatched and to be in a world beyond our own!"

"Not bad!"

"I think the Jing brothers are far more capable than those prodigies. How could they have such cultivation at such a young age? Even if it was to wait until they were fully developed, if they had followed the rules, could they still be called prodigies?"

"I think we should interact more often. In the future, we can help each other out, and when we enter the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, we can look out for each other! We might not be any worse off than those powerful families!"

"Yeah!"

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively and exciting.

One reason is that they hope to obtain a "ticket" from here.

Secondly, Xie Lingxin's "humility and deference" truly made them feel flattered.

Subconsciously, they had already begun to compare Xie Lingxin with those outstanding talents from aristocratic families.

Such a person is unattainable even for them.

How could I not be excited to have the opportunity to make friends with them?
For a time, both host and guests enjoyed themselves.

Xie Lingxin responded with a smile, accepting all offers.

No matter who comes to drink and talk with him, he can make them beam with joy and be overjoyed in just a few words.

Finally, I must exclaim: It's true what they say, comparisons are odious! This person may have humble origins, but he acts more like a scion of a noble family than any other. That's what true magnanimity looks like! A chosen one of heaven!

No wonder the Wheel of Reincarnation gave him such a good birth. In ancient times, such a person would have been a member of the imperial family!
As night deepened, this impromptu gathering of trial participants came to an end, with everyone reluctantly departing.

As I left Lüdao Garden, a cool night breeze blew.

The Beggar Clan leader, whose eyes had regained their sobriety after a few drinks, sighed to the number one swordsman of Tiannan beside him, "Truly impressive."

The First Sword of the South knew what he meant and nodded: "He is indeed amazing. I heard that he came from a humble background and has a high talent for cultivation. How come his skills in dealing with people are also so amazing?"

He doesn't seem like a teenager at all.

Are these exceptionally talented individuals truly extraordinary in everything they do?
"Well, since we're going to cooperate, it's a good start. At least we're friends, not enemies. Who knows, we might still need him in the future."

The leader of the Beggars' Sect sighed.

He had originally intended to challenge this person because of Biancheng Feiying, but now he was somewhat relieved that he hadn't had the chance to offend him.

……

After seeing off the group of trial participants, Xie Lingxin stood at the door with a smile on her face.

Having these people working for him is definitely better than him working alone.

Now I can focus on my spiritual practice in peace.

"Um, Brother Jing..."

Xie Lingxin was about to turn around and go back to the Water Study when two hesitant figures appeared at the door...

　This dungeon will probably end in a few more chapters.
