Chapter 336 - Chapter 336: Chapter 38: Seven Seas Hall, Kishu (2/2)
“Joining the Pact Hall doesn’t require any conditions, and there are no constraints whatsoever,”
“Moreover, even after becoming a Pact Cultivator, you do not belong to the Cultivators of Seven Seas Hall, nor will Seven Seas Hall attempt to control the Pact Cultivators to help with anything for Seven Seas Hall,”
“Additionally, if you regularly complete the missions issued by the Pact Hall, you can elevate your level as a Pact Cultivator, which then grants you more rights and benefits at the commerce guild affiliated with Seven Seas Hall,”
“With such conditions, it’s natural that many people join,”
“If you desire any precious Spirit Plants or rare ores and such, you can simply issue a task at the Pact Hall,”
“At that time, the task you issue will be visible to all the Pact Cultivators in the Demonic Monster Sea, and as long as you offer enough compensation, seventy percent of the Cultivators in the Demonic Monster Sea will help you accomplish it,”
“Whether it’s someone you want to kill or a power you wish to eradicate, or even if it’s about finding some rare Spirit Plant or a special relic,”
“As long as the payment is sufficient, there’s almost nothing the Pact Cultivators of the Pact Hall can’t do,”
“With that said…”
“Is there anything that the Pact Hall can’t find?”
Having said all this, Lin Jing suddenly reached an epiphany,
“So that’s how it is…”
Lin Jing then thought of something and quickly asked Lu Youjiu and Yan Wanfei:
“You two…?”
Both of them nodded at the same time:
“Yes, both of us are Pact Cultivators of the Seven Seas Hall,”
“Pact Cultivators are not controlled by the Seven Seas Hall. We can take on missions if we wish, or not take them if we don’t feel like it. We have complete freedom,”
“Besides, by becoming a Pact Cultivator, if you possess any shady Magical Treasures or Cultivation Techniques, you can sell them at the Pact Hall,”
“And you don’t have to worry about being tracked back to you. Why wouldn’t we do it?”
Hearing them say this, Lin Jing felt tempted,
“May I know what conditions are required to become a Pact Cultivator?”
Lu Youjiu started to explain:
“There are no conditions,”
“You can directly enter the Pact Hall and look for the overseer inside. He will give you two Tokens, and all you need to do is to refine them,”
“These Tokens represent your identity within the Pact Hall and are used to record the contribution points from completed tasks,”
“One of them will be kept in the Pact Hall, while the other one will be carried by you,”
“Since you will have refined the Token, if it’s lost, no one else can use it,”
“And if they try to refine it, it would erase the original aura preserved on the Token, rendering it invalid,”
“Therefore, the Token can be said to be absolutely safe,”
Lin Jing nodded his head, indicating his understanding,
Yan Wanfei then spoke up and addressed Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin…”
“Actually, you could first receive a Token at the Pact Hall and become a Pact Cultivator. Even if it’s not immediately necessary, you will definitely need it in the future,”
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing replied:
“Let’s wait a while. I’ll come to Seven Seas Hall later to learn more about it and then make a decision,”
Lu Youjiu nodded in agreement:
“You can become a Pact Cultivator anytime; there’s no rush for this,”
……
After that, Lin Jing and the others continued to move forward,
They walked along the main street until at last, after quite a while, the three men turned into a small alley,
Traveling further along the alley, Lin Jing and the others arrived in front of a residential compound,
“Bang, bang, bang,”
Yan Wanfei stepped forward and began knocking on the wooden gate with loud bangs,
Before long, a young Cultivator holding a book, deep in thought, opened the door to the compound,
This Cultivator was not particularly tall, and his build was average, but what stood out was the scholarly aura that radiated from him,
Seeing this young man, Lu Youjiu immediately spoke up:
“San He, we’ve arrived,”
The young man known as San He then looked up, first pinching his nose bridge as if to relax before turning his head to gaze at them:
“You’ve come…”
After that, he looked towards Lin Jing and asked:
“This is?”
Lu Youjiu didn’t hesitate:
“This is Lin Jing, Lin Daoyou, who once helped Niu San at a critical moment,”
Having said that, Lu Youjiu then introduced him to Lin Jing:
“This is Holaw Three Rivers; you can just call him San He,”
“San He Daoyou,” Lin Jing greeted with a clasped fist,
Holaw Three Rivers nodded and returned the gesture with a clasped fist,
Then.
Lin Jing followed the others into the compound,
After entering the house, everyone took a seat around the table. The scholarly young man named Holaw Three Rivers took several teacups from the tea tray and placed them in front of them,
Next, he lifted the teapot and filled their cups,
Only then did Yan Wanfei begin to speak and asked Holaw Three Rivers:
“San He, you mentioned earlier that you’ve taken on a mission, what is it?”
San He replied with a slight smile,
“It’s an assassination task Youjiu should like,”
“Assassination? Who’s the target?” Yan Wanfei inquired curiously,
“Thousand Islands Domain, the Demon Cultivator Dai Mao,” Holaw Three Rivers answered,
