Chapter 72: The Girl's Consideration. Hypnosis, the Problematic Part-Time Worker!
Luo Hongxi's cultivation level was only at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm, lower than his.
There was no other way, after all, she possessed both the Dan and Jian Emperor Codexes.
In addition, since this girl focused more on alchemy, hoping to gain favor with him through pills, it's normal that her cultivation lagged behind.
However, it's not a big problem for Shen Yun.
The reason she was sent to Immortal Fall Mountain was because the tomb of the Demon Emperor had appeared there in her previous life!
Many top-quality treasures were discovered inside, including one containing the essence blood of a demon emperor with immense energy, which was perfect for Luo Hongxi.
This treasure is a great tonic for cultivators; once consumed, it will result in an astonishing increase in their cultivation level.
Moreover, it cannot be digested all at once; it will remain in the body to provide energy until it is completely refined.
This is just one effect of the Demon Emperor's essence blood; there are also other wonderful uses such as containing the laws of the Great Dao and cleansing one's aptitude.
'Immortal Fall Mountain?' Luo Hongxi blinked and nodded:
"Yes, young master, I'll go tomorrow!"
The name of this mountain sounds eerie, but as long as the young master is with her, she has nothing to fear.
The important thing is that the young master mentioned it, so there must be treasure inside. He's giving her a treasure, so there's nothing to worry about.
"Alright, then you can start cultivating." Just as Shen Yun was about to exit the game, he saw Luo Hongxi whisper with a slightly flushed face:
"Young Master, Hongxi has been refining pills recently, which has caused a lot of pill toxins to accumulate in her body, and her double pupil essence has also been greatly depleted. Could you please perform acupuncture on me?"
She then added:
'It'll be safest to go to Immortal Fall Mountain when you're in good shape!'
After she finished speaking, she stood up from the medicine barrel.
The green liquid, like quicksand, slid down her delicate body.
Her jade-like skin appeared extremely delicate and lustrous under the illumination of the radiant stone in the Dan Room.
'Young master, this is all I can do for you~...' Luo Hongxi, her heart fluttering like a deer, slowly walked towards the stone bed.
How could she bear to see her young master suffer like this, especially since he had to do it secretly with her?
But she was just a minor cultivator and couldn't go into the young master's world, and she was too embarrassed to point out such things.
Therefore, the only excuse they could use was to replenish the source of the double pupils and eliminate toxins, so that the young master could have his fill of the present.
After all, it was her own young master who had stirred up her lucky charm again. He was the only one for her in this life, so she had to be considerate.
Of course, she had been looking forward to this for a long time since her last treatment. She often dreamed of the young master's beautiful hands, as if silk were flowing over her body.
They would wake up from their dreams with blushing faces and change their inner lining.
After taking her seat, Luo Hongxi murmured softly, "If I have disturbed you, young master, it's alright next time."
"What's wrong with that?" Since the girl was so open and honest, Shen Yun had nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Lie down, and I will help you replenish your fluids."
He opened his account backpack and took out the Source-Replenishing Needle, and acupuncture points automatically appeared on Luo Hongxi's body.
Having experienced this before, Shen Yun appeared extremely skilled this time.
On the contrary, Luo Hongxi's trembling affected his Nourishing Needle, and when asked, he only said that it hurt more than the last time.
'Hongxi's life force has indeed been depleted quite a bit recently...' Shen Yun carefully administered acupuncture, instructing her as he looked at the critically depleted life force within her body.
"I told you before, alchemy requires a balance of work and rest. You're such a worry!"
Clenching her large hand tightly against her chest, coupled with the stinging pain of the Nourishing Needle piercing her skin, the two contrasting sensations left Luo Hongxi drenched in sweat, her delicate hands gripping the edge of the bed tightly.
She pressed her pink lips tightly together, afraid that making a sound would give her away:
'Hongxi... I understand, I'll definitely remember next time...'
……
Tenglong Company.
"I heard the CEO is coming today?" People clocking in for work were buzzing with discussion.
"The higher-ups have already said that the president will take the newly recruited cultivators down to the secret realm! I'm so envious!"
"Do you think the CEO obtained the inheritance of Flower Fruit Mountain? He killed so many demonic beasts there, obtaining the inheritance shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"You didn't see the rest of the news, did you?" A mature woman in black stockings adjusted her glasses and said.
"The legacy of the Monkey King has been obtained by a golden-haired monkey."
"Thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, we're all monkeys, we're all of the same lineage."
The crowd was in high spirits, simply because the Five-Star Demon Suppressor was their boss!
This is already a figure of immense stature in China; working under him is a source of pride.
The main issue is that rumors are circulating that Shen Yun killed people from the Tianjiao Club, and some people say the company will be purged.
It would be easy for the Tianjiao Club to bring down Tenglong Company, but now the Zhenyao Division has directly named them for protection. The company is so stable, who would dare to cause trouble?!
"Look, the president is here!" The crowd at the door looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Yun's Maybach parked in the company square.
A moment later, the elevator descended, and a group of excited people, led by Qin Shitong, came to Shen Yun.
"Boss, five men and five women, their strength is between the fifth and eighth levels of the Gathering Realm, making them the elite among this group. These are their names and personal information."
'Gathering Whirlwind Realm? It seems that the stronger ones are still observing...' Shen Yun didn't care about that. He was just building his reputation in the early stages and wasn't worried about not having strong employees later.
He glanced at the form Qin Shitong handed him, then looked at the ten people:
"I only have one requirement: obey company arrangements!"
This group had only one plan: to lead people into the mountains to hunt monsters and collect their cores and medicinal herbs.
Submitting materials earns contribution points, and those with high contribution points have the opportunity to be taken into the secret realm for training.
"Yes, boss!!" the ten men replied solemnly in low voices.
You must know that this is a powerful being who is a five-star Demon Suppressor, a Soul Forging Realm cultivator, and capable of resisting fifth-order demonic beasts!
China does have its own Five-Star Demon-Suppressing Marquises, but those are all official positions, and they only bring their own elite forces! I've never heard of them bringing outsiders.
Upon hearing that Tenglong Company had released the news of Shen Yun leading a group, it quickly went viral online, and cultivators from all over the country were eager to make their move.
The news of Shen Yun's demon-slaying at Huaguo Mountain spread far too quickly, and now he is a Five-Star Demon-Suppressing Marquis!
The company had just finished recruiting when our customer service hotline was bombarded with calls.
Unfortunately, they were all low-level cultivators; the stronger ones would ask the company if they were hiring consultants or elders.
Clearly, the strong are proud and have no desire to be someone else's laborer.
However, the company clearly stipulates that it only hires laborers, and at most, they can become a team leader. If you want to be a big shot, turn left.
"Okay." Shen Yun took out his phone and placed it on the hood of the Maybach.
"Now that the decision has been made, let's sign the power contract directly."
In addition to monster contracts, players can also use faction contracts, which are similar to the initiation ceremony in the cultivation world. Once a contract is broken, the player will lose all their cultivation.
at the same time.
Eleven people, including Qin Shitong, received game notifications that popped up in front of them:
[Friendly Reminder: Player Shen Yun has initiated a faction contract with you. Once signed, you must not betray the faction, otherwise your meridians will be severed and you will lose all your cultivation. (To leave the faction, you only need the approval of the faction's higher-ups; leaving will not result in any loss of cultivation.)]
'Power Contract?' The group looked at each other in surprise, not expecting such a thing to exist.
Others looked at Shen Yun with envy: 'It's good to be strong! You can discover game settings that others don't know!'
'Following his lead might save me from making the same mistakes...'
Without a doubt, Shen Yun was far ahead of them. And his earlier access to game mechanics that others were unfamiliar with was a huge advantage!
Seeing Qin Shitong place her hand on the contract formation, everyone followed suit and made the same gesture.
It's always good to be cautious, and everyone understands the nature of contracts. Anyway, they're just here to team up with someone to farm dungeons; even if they find another way later, they can always withdraw.
However, one girl in the crowd did not move, and when she saw Shen Yun looking at her, she showed an apologetic expression:
"I'm sorry, boss. I thought it was just about leading the team into the mountains. I don't really like contracts; they feel restrictive and make me uncomfortable. Sorry, boss, sorry, Sister Qin."
The girl was very pretty and quite trendy, with tattoos all over her body, bright purple hair, and a string of nose piercings. She seemed like a free spirit who loved freedom and was easygoing, so it was understandable that she didn't like being constrained.
'You've missed a chance to latch onto someone powerful...' Qin Shitong sighed inwardly but didn't stop her.
"Alright then, Xiaoxia, I'll arrange a car to take you home later."
"It's alright, Sister Qin, I can walk by myself. You all go about your business." Xiaoxia waved her hand repeatedly, apologized again, and then left.
However, Qin Shitong and the others saw that Shen Yun's eyes gradually turned gray!
At the same time.
Xiaoxia had only taken a few steps when her whole body began to tremble violently and her face turned deathly pale.
Because in her mind, endless fear enveloped her body and mind, as if the greatest terror in the world was about to devour her!
Just as she was in despair, a soft voice whispered in her ear:
“Tell me who sent you. Tell me, and the terror will dissipate.”
This is a technique from Shen Yun's Soul-Chasing Technique: fear hypnosis, which can amplify the greatest fear in one's heart infinitely.
It's more than enough to deal with a lowly cultivator like Xiaoxia.
Shen Yun didn't believe that in this environment, there would still be people willing to give up the opportunity to become stronger and choose to do things their own way. There might be, but he was quite puzzled when he saw it, so he used some methods to test them.
He was right; this woman was indeed suspicious!
"I said it!!"
