Chapter 133: The Reemploynt Center for Disassembled Cultivators
As soon as Xu Zhengyang finished speaking—
Pei Zhen imdiately realized what Xu Zhengyang was thinking and sternly rebuked,
"Absurd!
It seems I’ve spoiled you too much on a daily basis, to the point that you now disregard ethical principles and moral standards!”
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang quickly explained to Pei Zhen,
"Master, you’ve misunderstood."
As he spoke—
Xu Zhengyang promptly removed the 6090 from his back and handed it to Pei Zhen, saying,
"Master, just extend your divine sense into the inner scene of the 6090, and everything will be clear."
Pei Zhen's expression eased slightly upon hearing this and asked,
"6090?
Isn’t it called 5090?”
Xu Zhengyang smiled faintly and explained,
"Since it’s been upgraded, the na should change too.
If it becos a Tier 3 magical treasure in the future—
Then it’ll be 7090!”
“……”
Xu Zhengyang’s thinking had always been this whimsical.
So Pei Zhen didn’t pursue it further, simply following Xu Zhengyang’s suggestion and extending his divine sense into the inner scene of the 6090.
……
In Pei Zhen’s mory—
The inner scene of a Soul Banner was always a gloomy, ghostly domain, filled with vengeful wails, a place of eerie cries and overwhelming resentnt!
Because Soul Banners hard the harmony of heaven.
Banner masters had to suppress them with various instrunts of torture!
But—
Inside Xu Zhengyang’s… 6090—
There wasn’t the slightest hint of gloominess; instead, it was a sky as blue as wash, the sun warm and gentle, a peaceful utopia-like community!
But what shocked Pei Zhen the most—
Was that the ghostly beings moving about inside the 6090 weren’t filled with resentnt at all. On the contrary, each wore a peaceful smile, showing signs of a content and stable life!
Even with Pei Zhen’s extensive experience, this sight before him—
He had never seen anything like it!
“This…”
Pei Zhen couldn’t help but say,
"If it’s really like this…
Then perhaps it’s not…”
At this point—
Pei Zhen added,
"No, no. Even if it's disguised in a hundred ways, a Ten Thousand Souls Banner is still a Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Its essence cannot be changed.
If other sects were to find out that Ah Zheng actually stored the soul of a guest elder of our True Essence Sect inside a Soul Banner—
I fear the thousand-year reputation of our True Essence Sect…
Would be destroyed in an instant!”
If it were for another reason, Pei Zhen might have turned a blind eye. But this concerned the thousand-year reputation of the True Essence Sect.
No matter how much Pei Zhen doted on Xu Zhengyang, he could not tolerate even the slightest compromise on this!
……
A mont later—
As Pei Zhen withdrew his divine sense from the 6090, Xu Zhengyang eagerly stepped forward and asked,
"How is it, Master?
My Reemploynt Center for Disassembled Cultivators is pretty well-developed, right?”
“Reemploynt Center for Disassembled Cultivators?!”
Pei Zhen pressed a hand to his forehead in speechlessness and sternly said to Xu Zhengyang,
"Even if you’ve made this 6090 appear upright and proper—
Principles are principles.
What’s not allowed is simply not allowed!”
“But…”
Suddenly struck by inspiration, Xu Zhengyang said,
"The Azure Peak Sword Sect has similar practices! Why can’t we learn from them?”
As he spoke, Xu Zhengyang imdiately summoned the Extre Shadow Sword and said to Pei Zhen,
"Look, Master.
When seniors of the Azure Peak Sword Sect pass away—
Most choose to refine their souls into flying swords, becoming Sword Spirits…
Isn’t this essentially the sa as the 6090?
Yet no one in all of Qingzhou speaks ill of them. On the contrary, they are admired for this spirit of passing on their legacy!”
As he spoke—
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Pei.”
Xu Zhengyang had already released the Sword Spirit of the Extre Shadow Sword to greet Pei Zhen, then added:
"I believe my master’s words aren’t wrong.
If the act of Azure Peak Sword Sect cultivators rging into swords before passing, becoming Sword Spirits, is seen as noble—
Then why is soone choosing to enter my master’s 6090 before death seen as lowly?
Both are remnant souls of cultivators contributing within magical treasures.
Why must one be seen as superior to the other?”
“……”
Pei Zhen instinctively sensed sothing was off upon hearing Extre Shadow's words, but his train of thought had been interrupted.
Now led by the nose, he couldn’t find a way to refute it.
anwhile—
Liu Jingya, who had been crying bitterly monts ago, caught fragnts of the conversation between Xu Zhengyang and Pei Zhen, realizing that Xu Zhengyang might have a way to keep her father in the mortal world.
Without caring about why Pei Zhen opposed it—
She imdiately knelt in front of Pei Zhen, kowtowing repeatedly until a bloodstain appeared on her forehead before crying,
"Master!
I beg you, please let Third Senior Brother keep my father in the mortal world!
I don’t want him to go!”
"Foolish child…”
Pei Zhen quickly helped Liu Jingya up and said,
"Don’t be anxious. I still have a few questions to ask your Third Senior Brother."
As he spoke—
Pei Zhen questioned Xu Zhengyang,
"You say this is a Reemploynt Center for Disassembled Cultivators.
Then tell —
What kind of work can they actually do?”
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang lit up and quickly said,
"There’s tons of work they can do!”
As he spoke—
Xu Zhengyang raised the Jade Gourd and placed various puppets of different shapes and functions throughout the cave!
"These puppets were all specially crafted by .”
He pointed to one puppet with a chanical arm holding a Spiritual Brush and said,
"The Cleansing Talisman is one of the top-selling talismans among Tier 1 cultivators.
And this puppet’s central control module was designed and built by specifically for Cleansing Talismans.
Because of that…”
At this point, Xu Zhengyang made a sweeping gesture with his hand—
A top-performing employee from the 6090, skilled in crafting Cleansing Talismans, imdiately used Xu Zhengyang as a bridge to possess the puppet and began drawing talismans in front of everyone!
"Of course!
Other popular talismans—like Fireball Talismans, Earth Spike Talismans, etc.—I’ve also created matching control modules for them.
When the ti cos—
We only need to swap the modules based on market demand, and other talismans can be crafted too.”
At this point—
Xu Zhengyang pointed at the other puppets with different functions and said,
"These can till soil and plant spiritual herbs;
So are for formation setups;
So are for processing dicinal ingredients…”
After a mont—
Xu Zhengyang gave a rough introduction of the puppets he had built during his spare ti over the past year, then added,
"So, Master, my Reemploynt Center for Disassembled Cultivators really lacks manpower right now.
Especially top-tier talent!”
……
If Pei Zhen hadn’t seen these highly functional puppets—
He would’ve assud Xu Zhengyang was just trying to argue his way out.
But now…
Pei Zhen was actually starting to be persuaded by Xu Zhengyang!
As Pei Zhen stood there, conflicted, unsure if he should agree—
"Ugh…”
Liu Baoshan, lying on the stone bed, let out a tily groan of pain, the purple-black aura on his face growing denser.
He was clearly on the verge of death!
Pei Zhen probed with his divine sense and imdiately sensed Liu Baoshan’s soul was hanging by a thread. He instantly ordered:
"Everyone else, leave! Only Ah Zheng stays here!”
“Yes, Head (Master).”
Everyone answered in unison, all wearing curious expressions as they exited the stone cave.
At that mont—
Pei Zhen said to Xu Zhengyang,
"First, place Elder Liu’s soul into the 6090 for proper care, so he no longer suffers.
Then, you shall co with to Celestial chanism Peak to see the Sect Master.
Let him make the final decision on everything!”
