Chapter 606: Chapter 218: The First Red Entry!_5

“If this miracle had happened to someone else, I would not have believed it,”

“But for someone who has already created a dozen miracles, creating another one doesn’t seem that astonishing, and it’s completely understandable.”

Just then–

The waiter at their side, holding a tray with three delicious dishes on it, placed all three on the table before retreating with a beaming smile, showing quite good service attitude.

“…”

The Master of the Xuantian Sect looked at the retreating waiter with a complex expression, then turned to the nearby Void Refining Ancestor and after remaining silent for a long while, finally said hoarsely, “Ancestor, have you really decided on applying for the position?”

“That’s a commitment of at least a hundred years, and you won’t be able to leave the Heavenly Hall during that time!”

The Heavenly Hall is a collection of a large number of Heavenly Dao Buildings which often cannot operate autonomously and need staff, and the cultivators of the Xuantian State can come to apply for jobs.

Different positions, different levels of cultivation, and different lengths of service all determine the rewards you receive upon leaving the Heavenly Hall.

But the minimum term of service is also a hundred years, during which you can’t leave the Heavenly Hall. Of course, no matter how long you work in the Heavenly Hall, your lifespan is not consumed. Even if you only have one year left to live, after working for a hundred years in the Heavenly Hall, you will still have that one year left upon departure.

For instance, this waiter is just such a case.

–

‘Waiter’: Eligible for Golden Core Cultivators and above, with a minimum commitment of a hundred years, after which they can leave with three thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones.

–

That’s considered a good position.

After all, not every Golden Core Cultivator can earn three thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones within a hundred years, especially considering expenses during that century. Even if one does manage to earn that amount, there’s little left over.

But inside the Heavenly Hall.

All living expenses are covered, and there are hardly any opportunities for expenditures.

Moreover, in the Heavenly Hall, your lifespan isn’t depleted, and there aren’t many ways to consume Spirit Stones, except that the work is somewhat tedious and you must satisfy the Heavenly Dao rules and be dedicated enough, there are hardly any downsides.

The ‘waiter’ position offers a maximum term of a thousand years, with fifty thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones as the reward after a millennium.

And Heavenly Hall employees are protected by the power of heaven and earth, with no threat to their lives.

Therefore–

It has almost become a place coveted in the Cultivation World, where one can avoid enemies’ pursuit, extend lifespan, have an easy job conducive to slacking off, and receive a hefty reward upon completion.

Though one cannot leave the Heavenly Hall for at least a hundred years,

But… this negative aspect is negligible compared to the several positive ones.

And this month each year is when the Heavenly Hall recruits staff; this year there are only thirty-seven positions available, and the total number of vacancies across all positions is around 200. Yet there are over ten thousand competitors, with even more on their way–a very fierce competition indeed.

It’s rare for positions at the Heavenly Hall to become vacant.

Unless… There are employees dismissed due to poor performance. For example… if a waiter constantly wears a frown and occasionally verbally abuses customers, they would be deemed by the Heavenly Dao as unqualified and then dismissed, completely returned to the ways of heaven.

Or when an employee fulfills their term of service and leaves the Heavenly Hall, their position becomes available.

In previous years, there were only about a dozen or so vacancies, but thirty-seven this year is already quite a high number.

…

“Yes, I have made up my mind,” said the Void Refining Ancestor of Xuantian Sect with a solemn nod. “My lifespan isn’t much longer. It’s unlikely for me to break through to the Body Integration Realm in this lifetime. Although I’ve lived for a long time, much of it was spent in closed-door cultivation.”

“In my whole life, I haven’t had one or two years to do nothing at all, just peacefully lying in the stream and sleeping.”

“After being forcibly attracted to the Vast Continent, I felt like I suddenly understood. With the remaining life I have, the chance of breaking through to the Body Integration Realm is almost none. It’s better to join the Heavenly Hall, where I can live many more years.”

“And to be freed from the strife of the world.”

“…”

After a long silence, the Master of the Xuantian Sect nodded lightly and said, “Ancestor, I understand what you mean, but becoming an employee of the Heavenly Hall requires maintaining work for a long period, year-round without any breaks.”

“It’s not a matter of just being able to slack off and lie in the stream without moving.”

“If you take on the waiter’s role, Ancestor, jobs like serving dishes, you will need to do it for at least a hundred years. You must serve continuously for a hundred years and greet each customer with a smile on your face.”

“This is different from closed-door cultivation, where a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye. This is truly experiencing the passage of a hundred years, which is extremely tedious and dull.”
