There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Chapter 219 The Black-Hearted Immortal Cultivation Union

"Fellow Daoist Shen Gong, I would like to apply to join the Immortal Cultivation Union."

Xu Changshou directly stated his purpose.

"Name?"

Shen Gongtu didn't even raise his head, looking very businesslike.

"Xu Changshou."

"Zongmen?"

"Green Immortal Sect."

"Wait a moment, I need to verify your identity."

Shen Gongtu turned around and entered a small door behind him. After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Gongtu came back.

He scanned Xu Changshou's figure and said, "Xu Changshou, 32 years old, from Laiyang, Song State. He joined the Green Immortal Sect at the age of 12, established his foundation at the age of 27, and is currently the head of Green Ink Peak... Is this identity information correct?"

"Correct!"

Xu Changshou was shocked.

He just reported his name and sect, and in just a quarter of an hour, Shen Gongtu had checked his background thoroughly. It was worthy of being the Immortal Cultivation Guild, with great power.

Of course, the Immortal Cultivation Association was jointly established by the five major immortal sects, and only the Green Immortal Sect had the detailed information about Xu Changshou.

Shen Gongtu was able to get my information so quickly, it must have been forwarded from the Green Immortal Sect.

"Hold on!"

Shen Gongtu nodded, then took out a purple wooden token and began to engrave it.

After taking a look at the token, Xu Changshou couldn't help but feel envious. This small token was actually made of a thousand-year-old spiritual wood.

As expected of a Cultivation Guild, it is extremely wealthy.

Of course, this also illustrates a problem from the side. Thousand-year-old spiritual wood does exist, but it is stored as strategic materials by major immortal sects and is generally not sold out easily.

Soon, the old man engraved the token and handed it to Xu Changshou, saying, "This is your identity badge. Don't lose it. In the future, whether you are issuing tasks, accepting tasks, or collecting task rewards, you must have an identity badge. If you lose your identity badge, you can only get a replacement at headquarters."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen Gong!" Xu Changshou bowed to express his gratitude.

Shen Gongtu knocked on the table: "The cost of production is five hundred yuan."

"what!"

Xu Changshou was stunned.

This token weighs at most one kilogram, which is about fifty spirit stones based on the price of thousand-year-old spirit wood.

Shen Gongtu simply engraved some information on it casually and dared to ask for five hundred spirit stones.

Damn, this is too bad.

No wonder they were willing to use thousand-year-old spiritual wood as an identity badge. It turns out there is a routine, and the wool comes from the sheep.

Making a nameplate out of thousand-year-old spiritual wood is more profitable than refining a flying sword.

"Friend Xu, wasn't I clear enough? The cost of the work is five hundred yuan."

"And the cost of production?"

"Humph, this is a thousand-year-old spiritual wood. The production cost is very high. Who can afford to compensate if we don't charge the labor fee?"

"All right!"

Xu Changshou had no choice but to hand over the five hundred spirit stones.

He felt like he had been taken advantage of, as the Immortal Cultivation Association had already ripped him off before he even released the mission.

After paying five hundred spirit stones, Xu Changshou looked at the identity plate on the counter and suddenly felt that it was not so good anymore. He wanted to crush it, make it into pulp, and then make it into a talisman.

One pound of thousand-year-old spiritual wood can be used to make ten talismans. Only in this way can one make a full return.

At this time, Shen Gongtu pushed the identity badge in front of Xu Changshou and casually threw a booklet to him.

"Friend Xu, this is the basic process for receiving and sending missions. Take a look at it yourself."

"Ok!"

Xu Changshou picked up the identity badge and booklet.

First take a look at the identity badge. The words "Xiuxian Guild" are written on the front, and Xu Changshou's name is on the back.

A scan with divine sense revealed Xu Changshou's personal information: Xu Changshou, 32 years old, from Laiyang, Song State...

Putting away the token, Xu Changshou picked up the booklet and started reading.

He finished reading the content quickly, and after reading it, Xu Changshou was even more shocked by the evil heart of the Xiuxian Guild.

No matter who wants to post a task in the Xiuxian Guild, if the reward for the task is spirit stones, the Xiuxian Guild will take half of it.

Spirit stones are generally split 50-50, except for very demanding tasks, where the person who takes the task will be paid a higher reward, 30-70.

If the reward is an item, after the task is completed, the item belongs to the person who completed the task, but the employer must pay a certain amount of spirit stones to the Xiuxian Guild.

If a task is posted to purchase something, then based on the value of the item, the Xiuxian Guild will take one-tenth of the money as a channel fee.

The same applies to posting tasks to sell things.

For example, if you want to buy an item worth one hundred spirit stones on the Xiuxian Guild platform, you will have to pay a channel fee of ten spirit stones.

If you think that the platform only takes one tenth of your money, you are wrong.

The buyer will also be charged a one-tenth channel fee.

In other words, after the transaction of one hundred spirit stones between the two parties is completed on the platform of the Xiuxian Guild, the Xiuxian Guild does not need to do anything, but only needs to provide some information to obtain twenty spirit stones.

After reading the booklet, Xu Changshou was so angry that his teeth were itching. This was a blatant monopoly.

The five major immortal sects monopolize the information of the Dongyu immortal cultivation world. If ordinary immortal cultivators want to obtain certain information or purchase something uncommon in the market, they can only go through the platform of the Immortal Cultivation Union. There is no other way.

This results in the general public knowing that they are being exploited, drained of blood, and their labor is being squeezed by the cultivation platforms, but they can only grit their teeth and accept their fate.

This is the world of cultivating immortals, it is so cruel.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xu Changshou suppressed his anger, looked at Shen Gongtu with a smile, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Shen Gong, I want to issue a task. How do I do it?"

Without even looking up, Shen Gongtu casually threw over a jade slip with a rope and said impatiently, "Write your purchase information on the jade slip."

Xu Changshou thought for a moment and wrote down a line of words: Wanted, thousand-year-old spiritual wood fragments, ten spiritual stones per pound.

That’s right, Xu Changshou planned to try to buy some scraps first, and if the scraps were not enough, he would buy the whole material.

If the material was complete, the Immortal Cultivation Association would take away five spirit stones for every kilogram. Xu Changshou felt that it was too much of a loss.

Of course, if the scraps are not enough, I have to buy complete materials. It’s a loss, but the ancestor’s task of drawing talismans must be completed.

After recording the information, Xu Changshou placed the jade slip on the counter. Shen Gongtu glanced at it and said unhappily, "Why doesn't it say how many pounds it weighs?"

Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Take as much as you can. The more the better."

Shen Gongtu nodded and said, "First pay the channel fee of 100 yuan, and the excess will be refunded or supplemented."

"Ok."

Xu Changshou had no choice but to take out another hundred spirit stones.

Well, I didn’t even see a single hair of the thousand-year-old spirit, and six hundred spirit stones were gone.

After receiving the money, Shen Gongtu said, "After receiving the items, the union will immediately inform you. The transportation work will be undertaken by the union. Your ID badge has the function of receiving messages, so remember to check it carefully. Now, you need to confirm the delivery address."

"Pingyang Market."

The Xiuxian Guild has branches in various places. After confirming the address, the items will be sent directly to a branch.

This makes it convenient for the person who posted the task to collect it nearby. Although the Xiuxian Guild is a bit shady, it has to be admitted that it does provide convenience.
