After leaving Flying Swan Building, ng Zhang took a stroll outside and entered a teahouse called Four Seas Building. In the Endless Sea of Sand, almost every market had a Four Seas Building. It was a renowned comrcial interdiary agency established by the prestigious You Family, a big rchant family. Four Seas Building provided information on all kinds of material purchase and sale, as well as facilitated cooperation among various cultivation forces. It also published various hiring information and tasks, allowing loose cultivators and even sect cultivators to seek suitable employers.
The secrets of You Family were unknown even to many Cultivation World insiders. According to the information released by You Family, it was an extensive influence that covered the entire Endless Sea of Sand and even had connections to the vast Middle-Earth Continent's giant trading companies. In the Endless Sea of Sand, You Family held a special position, and even Flying Swan Sect showed deference to them. Other powers wouldn't dare to provoke You Family easily.
In Singing Sand City, Four Seas Building was the second most magnificent building after Flying Swan Building. The first floor was a spacious hall with walls covered in layers of rippling light screens. Various peculiar pieces of information were displayed clearly on the screens. Information about material purchase, requests for purchase, task postings, and employnt opportunities were continuously updated.
When ng Zhang entered, the hall was already crowded with people. It took him so effort to find a place to stand while he read the information displayed on the light screens. The information on the screens covered a wide range, and its accuracy was guaranteed by Four Seas Building.
ng Zhang thought to himself, "Unexpectedly, this cultivation world also has such interdiary agencies and a comrcial concept like this. It does make things much more convenient, and I won't have to run around as much."
According to the information on the light screens, ng Zhang contacted several loose cultivators through Four Seas Building. These cultivators were all spirit farrs who had provided their information to Four Seas Building, hoping to find suitable employers through the agency.
After talking with these spirit farrs individually, ng Zhang used Mind Reading to understand their thoughts. In the end, he didn't choose any of them. So had restless minds, which ng Zhang considered to be too unstable. So boasted too much but had poor skills in Spirit Plant techniques.
More outrageously, among them, there was even a professional spy who specialized in gathering information about potential employers and selling it.
ng Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seed that Four Seas Building's reputation didn't quite match up with the reality.
The plump steward who had received ng Zhang sensed his dissatisfaction. Although the saying "the custor is God" didn't exist in this world, as a successful Shang Family, eting the reasonable demands of custors and making them happy was their duty.
"Sect Master ng is not satisfied with these candidates?" the plump steward tentatively asked.
"Such a renowned place as Four Seas Building can't even find a decent spirit farr," ng Zhang said displeased.
The plump steward hesitated for a mont before saying, "There are two candidates, but their situation is a bit special."
Under ng Zhang's inquiry, the plump steward revealed the special circumstances of these two candidates.
Wang Shitou was originally a farr who worked in the fields before awakening his spiritual roots at the age of sixteen. Unfortunately, his lower-grade spiritual roots were too poor, and he couldn't be accepted into any local sects. Later, he beca a servant for a loose cultivator and received instruction in cultivation techniques, gradually entering the Cultivation World. Although his spiritual roots were extrely poor, he had a natural talent for Spirit Plant techniques. Relying on various makeshift Spirit Plant spells and years of planting experience, he beca a decent spirit farr. After marrying and having a son with similarly poor spiritual roots, Wang Shitou passed on his knowledge to his son, Wang Shenjie, who also beca a spirit farr.
Three years ago, Wang Shitou and his son were hired by Liu Family to take care of a spirit field. It was said that a certain reckless disciple of Liu Family caused trouble, resulting in a bad harvest in the spirit field. However, Liu Family blad Wang Shitou and his son for it, and they were severely beaten. To escape, the Wang family had to compensate Liu Family for their losses with all their savings.
Now, the destitute Wang family urgently needed to find a new employer. However, their reputation had been tarnished by Liu Family, and no other employer was willing to hire two spirit farrs who had caused a bad harvest.
Although ng Zhang was about to harvest the spirit field in Taiyi Sect, he couldn't delay too much and decided to hire them.
Wang Shitou looked like a simple and honest farr, while Wang Shenjie was a bit shy and timid in front of strangers. After a brief conversation, ng Zhang judged that the father and son's Spirit Plant techniques were indeed good. Both of them had a Refining Qi Triple cultivation base, and though their cultivation bases were a bit weak, it wasn't a big deal.
The Mind Reading information confird that they were honest people without any hidden motives. In the nearby Foundation Building families, Liu Family was notorious for their maliciousness and was known as a venomous snake. However, ng Zhang estimated that hiring two spirit farrs wouldn't be considered a significant offense. Besides, as a subsidiary of Twin Success Valley, Taiyi Sect paid its yearly tribute, and Liu Family wouldn't want to offend the domineering Twin Success Valley for no reason.
Thinking of this, ng Zhang no longer hesitated and decided to employ the father and son in front of him.
The two desperate individuals had no other choice and were extrely grateful to ng Zhang. Under the witness of the plump steward from Four Seas Building, they signed a contract that specified their rights and obligations.
ng Zhang didn't take advantage of the situation to lower the price; instead, he offered a fair price to hire the two.
After employing them, ng Zhang still had other tasks to attend to. He brought the father and son back to the inn where he was staying and let them rest for the ti being.
