Chapter Twenty Five Fourth Shigu (1/2)

I get into this awkward state where I want to translate but I can’t deal with the tension even though I’ve read the whole novel. It’s very weird.

Chapter Twenty Five Fourth Shigu

The notice altar was in the southern part of Dong Fu, and it was also the most prosperous and busiest part of Dong Fu. Because he had already joined a sect, and taking care of the ling fields and cultivation had taken up almost all of his time, Zuo Mo had never been to the notice altar before. This was why he hadn’t thought of this place at the beginning.

Stopping at the notice altar, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply!

Looking out, countless posts made from cloth banners pointed at the sky like a forest, spreading out into the horizon. Under each banner, people’s heads moved. The stream of people also moved slowly. Zuo Mo was in awe at the scene.

Dazedly, he followed the stream and entered the notice altar.

“This sect has a pair of Firey Gold Eyes Beast pups, requires one zookeeper. Requires cultivation above intermediate level of zhuji, five or more years of experience in animal care, salary generous.”

“This sect is clearing out ling fields, needs large number of body cultivators, above lianqi fifth level. Includes residence and food. Ten pieces of first-grade jingshi each day.

……

In just a quick while, Zuo Mo’s eyes started to blur.

Just at this time, someone came up: ‘Bro, what, it’s hard to search. I have the complete table of content for the entire notice altar, detailed and accurate. It is updated at the first time. How about it, do you want a copy?”

“How much?” Zuo Mo asked cautiously.

“Not expensive, twenty pieces of first-grade jingshi.” The person said: “Bro, at one look, I can see you are one for doing big things. Time is so precious, wasting it like this is not worthy. Just twenty pieces of first-grade jingshi, it’s really worthwhile!”

“Eight pieces!”

“Bro, look at all these notices. Just me alone, how can I collect all of them? I have to support an entire bunch of people… …”

“Adding on two pieces, I’m very sincere.”

“Bro, we don’t have it easy……”

Zuo Mo turned to leave. The person hurriedly pulled Zuo Mo: “Okay okay okay, I’ll sell it to you at a loss!”

Looking at the directory that he spent ten pieces of first-grade jingshi to buy, Zuo Mo was a sorry figure as he escaped from the notice altar. He found a less busy place nearby and sat down.

That was a really scary place! He looked with trepidation at the bustling notice altar.

Adding ling energy to the jade stick, there were more than one thousand and five hundred posts in the directory, a huge variety, everything was there. After a long time, Zuo Mo finally found an order and started to look down.

After a full two hours, he finally raised his head, his eyes full of disappointment. It wasn’t that there weren’t related posts that paid with spells, but not one of them were something that he could accomplish. Thinking about it now, Fu Jing was right. When any spell reached the third level, the price also changed drastically.

Discontentedly returning on the flying paper crane, Zuo Mo’s expression was blank.

When he returned home and saw Wei Sheng Shixiong standing outside his door, he couldn’t help but blank.

Wei Sheng Shixiong didn’t seem to have changed much from before. Still clad in rough cloth. Even though he still gave others the feeling of being as sharp as a sword, but it was much more restrained than before. It could be seen that Wei Sheng Shixiong’s cultivation was much deeper than before. Even when Zuo Mo was still far away, he already detected it.

“Shidi has really made me wait.” He smiled as he greeted.

Wei Sheng Shixiong’s warmth that was just like before made Zuo Mo very surprised and slightly moved. The attitudes of inner sect disciples towards outer sect disciples were usually extremely bad, and those of low birth and had an accomplished cultivation, their arrogant manner was the normal state.

“If Shixiong has something, just send a notice, why wait so long outside the door?” Zuo Mo solemnly replied.

Wei Sheng took out a small box from his bosom and handed it to Zuo Mo: “The fire dragon grass seed won’t be of any use in my hands, but at least its third-grade so it would be a pity to throw it out. Shidi is skilled in planting, so this is given to Shidi.”

Zuo Mo was greedy about wealth but facing the little box, he didn’t hold out his hand. The seed of a third-grade fire dragon grass, it wasn’t a question to sell it for a few tens of pieces of second-grade jingshi.

“Shixiong has successfully zhuji, and there would be many places that would require jingshi in the future……”

Wei Sheng interrupted his words, shoving the wooden box into Zuo Mo’s chest: “Don’t be chatty. I’m telling you to take it. My heart is for the sword, and doesn’t like other things.”

Holding the wooden box, Zuo Mo didn’t know what to say.

“Shidi has outstanding talent and should work hard to not fail to live up to this good vessel.” He urged: “Very soon I will enter the Sword Cave to study. When I come out, Shidi should have successfully zhuji.”

For some reason, Zuo Mo’s heart warmed and burst out: “I definitely will successfully zhuji!”

“Then I won’t worry anymore. It’s a pity that Shidi isn’t interested in the sword.” There was a hint of pity in Wei Sheng’s expression.
