I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2594 - 2595: Fertility Monk

Li Yongnian looked in the direction Lin Yi was pointing.

He noticed a woman not far away, dressed very avant-garde.

She wore a tight-fitting dress, with black stockings on her legs, and little boots on her feet. The whole outfit was particularly eye-catching.

Beside the young woman stood an old Daoist priest.

Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be in his sixties, grinning so widely that he looked a decade younger.

"This old perv!"

Li Yongnian mumbled softly, then explained to Lin Yi:

"Maybe this female layman is confused, and my master is solving her life’s puzzles."

"Is it life or the living?"

"Uh... not much difference, don’t mind those details."

Lin Yi: ???

What the heck does ’not much difference’ mean?

"Let’s go inside first. I’ll talk to my master about your matter later."

Lin Yi nodded and walked into the Blessed Land Gate with Li Yongnian.

As they crossed the threshold, a system prompt sounded in Lin Yi’s mind.

[Arrived at Longhu Mountain Shangqing Palace, awarded 50,000 master level driving skills.]

[Job completion rate: 5%, cash reward of one billion.]

Lin Yi remained unfazed, as the initial rewards for new professions were generally cash, something he was already used to.

However, even a mosquito’s leg is still meat. Although a billion might not be much, it’s enough for pocket money.

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, life still requires hard work and effort!

Otherwise, he’d just end up a poor wretch with only a few billion in spending money.

After entering the Blessed Land Gate, the two stood aside.

They waited for the old Daoist priest to see the woman off, and then approached him.

During the wait, Lin Yi learned the old Daoist priest’s name.

His name was Zhang Youfu, Taoist name Xuan Yang, and he was the 76th headmaster of the Shangqing Palace.

"Look at your master smiling, his mouth is almost reaching his ears." Lin Yi said.

"Maybe my master’s desires are a bit too much, this Blessed Land Gate can’t purify him."

"At such an age, if the Blessed Land Gate can’t purify him, what was he like when he was young?"

"It’s said that my master, in his youth, was known as the Fertility Monk. Forced by circumstance, he came to the Shangqing Palace."

"Wasn’t he chased up the mountain by husbands?"

"Uh... although that’s true, let’s be a bit more discreet."

Soon, Zhang Youfu sent the young woman out of the Blessed Land Gate, then turned to Li Yongnian.

His expression instantly became solemn and serious, the smile vanishing from his face.

"How’s the task I assigned you going?"

"Handled clear as day," said Li Yongnian.

"And who is this?"

"He’s a friend I met at the foot of the mountain, wants to come to our Shangqing Palace to learn."

Zhang Youfu glanced at Lin Yi, and with a calm demeanor said:

"According to our Shangqing Palace’s rules, anyone wishing to learn must possess great wisdom, great perseverance, and pass necessary assessments, including reciting lessons day and night, learning Daoist etiquette, and acquiring basic knowledge if there’s..."

"Here’s 300,000." Lin Yi handed over a bank card.

"This disciple, please come inside. I have much to discuss with you," Zhang Youfu made a gesture of invitation, speaking kindly.

"Alright."

Li Yongnian: ...

Lin Yi was led to the back hall by Zhang Youfu, and after about half an hour, he emerged.

"Yongnian, go notify everyone, call your fellow disciples here, I have something to say."

"Alright."

Li Yongnian took out his phone, it was unclear whom he was calling.

"Junior Brother, broadcast an announcement, gather everyone at the East Hidden Courtyard quickly."

After giving the instruction, Li Yongnian hung up the phone.

Immediately following, the sound of a broadcast could be heard.

Lin Yi felt a sense of irony, feeling this place was not how he imagined, more like listening to a broadcast back in his village.

Then, the two returned to the room, waiting for the others to arrive.

Soon, all the people of Shangqing Palace gathered at the entrance of the East Hidden Courtyard.

There were over thirty people in total, not a large number considering the spaciousness of Shangqing Palace.

Unexpectedly, among those present, there was a woman.

She looked quite young, about twenty-seven or eight years old. Wearing a Daoist robe added a touch of elegance to her.

Her name was Zhuang Xiaoyun, she came from a good family background and was fairly well-known locally.

Because she had no financial worries and liked a peaceful life, she would stay at the Daoist temple for a while every year, descending the mountain to play when tired, leading a very fulfilling life.

Unlike other male disciples who had to stay on the mountain constantly.

Originally, places like Shangqing Palace rarely accepted female disciples.

But as long as there was money, even if a dog came, Zhang Youfu would dare to call it the Sky-barking Dog.

Plus, with the times becoming more diverse, accepting female disciples wasn’t unusual.

"What’s happened that we’ve all been called together?" Zhuang Xiaoyun asked.

"Master must be accepting a disciple again," a male disciple said, "Every time it’s only when accepting a disciple that everyone is gathered."

"Wonder how much he’ll swindle this time."

Squeak—

Just then, the wooden door of the East Hidden Courtyard was pushed open, and Lin Yi and Zhang Youfu walked out.

"Wow, this guy is quite handsome," Zhuang Xiaoyun exclaimed.

"Cultivators should remain composed, can you calm down a bit?" Li Yongnian said.

"Last time I went down the mountain wearing a Balenciaga dress, Master talked to me for two hours straight. There’s no outsiders here, let’s just be straightforward."

"Sounds like something he’d do."

Ahem ahem—

Zhang Youfu cleared his throat and said:

"Now that everyone is here, I have an important announcement."

"After investigation, the person standing next to you is the 94th descendant of our Shangqing Palace’s founder, Heavenly Master Zhang, deeply connected with our Shangqing Palace. So I’ve decided to accept him into Shangqing Palace as my Junior Brother, and your Junior Uncle. His Taoist name is Xuankong. Everyone, please greet him."

Upon hearing the news, everyone below spoke in hushed voices.

"How much did he pay to even concoct a relation to Heavenly Master Zhang’s lineage?"

"Most importantly, he instantly became our Junior Uncle. Without 500,000, there’s no way."

"Being rich is so nice."

Ahem ahem ahem—

After a few more coughs, Zhang Youfu said earnestly:

"Alright, stop whispering, go on with your tasks." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Everyone acknowledged and then dispersed.

Li Yongnian didn’t leave and came up to Lin Yi.

"What’s going on? How did you become our Junior Uncle?"

"Didn’t your master say, I’m the 94th descendant of Zhang Daoling, here to be your Junior Uncle, no mistake, right?"

"Stop joking, Zhang Daoling’s surname is Zhang, yours is Lin, how could you be his descendant," said Li Yongnian:

"Just tell me how much you paid."

"It includes meals and accommodation, plus three Daoist robes, 600,000."

"Holy f*ck, that’s pricey, they charged you 600,000?"

"He said that without an invoice, it could be 10,000 yuan cheaper, but I didn’t agree, an invoice is useful to keep."
