Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 791 - 41: Sky Shaman

When leaving the grocery store, the proprietress kindly reminded the three that if they have special skills, they could visit the employment agency in the public district. If they’re lucky, they might find jobs that earn Merit Points without going to the battlefield, which would be crucial for moving out of temp housing in a month.

After thanking the proprietress and discussing briefly, they planned to check out the employment agency when someone called out Yue Jinghua’s name from behind.

Turning around, they saw it was Chen Jiangyin.

Although Chen Jiangyin entered Four Symbols City with a Merit Ring, his was directly gifted by City Lord Changsun Gongyang, so after entering, he was separately accommodated instead of moving to temp housing with the others.

After parting ways with him, Yue Jinghua didn’t worry too much; this guy is quite shrewd and would naturally adapt to the new environment.

"Finally found you, it’s really inconvenient going from Yue District to Chen District, I should ask the City Lord for a Dark Beast," Chen Jiangyin’s physical stamina was quite poor, and being new to Four Symbols City, a trip around the city drained half his life.

"What, you’re living in Yue District, doesn’t it require a hundred thousand Merit Points?" Yue Jinghua was stunned, while she and her companions were pitifully residing in temp housing similar to "affordable houses," this pampered guy somehow turned out to be living in the "Rich District" as a tycoon.

Moreover, Chen Jiangyin’s abode wasn’t a temporary makeshift shelter but a high-end estate with servants and a private herb garden.

"I’m an honored guest invited by the City Lord and once saved him, so there’s no need for Merit Points to directly move into Yue District," Chen Jiangyin smiled broadly, making Yue Jinghua itch to punch him, "Funny story, one day when I was out gathering herbs, I came across a green turtle sunbathing on a riverbank. The turtle flipped onto its back, and I thought it was dead. Thinking the turtle shell was excellent Alchemy material, I turned it over intending to take it back, only to find it wasn’t dead, just asleep." Chen Jiangyin’s explanation only made Yue Jinghua and others more exasperated.

This person’s luck is just unbelievable, akin to stumbling upon a peerless master by accident.

Chen Jiangyin didn’t explicitly state the City Lord’s reason for inviting him over; presumably, there was some secret agreement between them. When he heard Yue Jinghua and others were heading to the employment agency, he insisted on tagging along.

Helpless, Yue Jinghua had no choice but to lead him to the employment agency located in the public district.

In Four Symbols City, apart from the main districts of Sun, Moon, Star, and Chen for residents, there’s an additional public district where major shops and city organizations are located, offering convenience for residents.

Entering the public district, Yue Jinghua felt she was back on the Canglong Continent, full of diverse shops and architectural styles due to the city’s dwellers coming from different Canglong Continent regions.

The employment agency was easy to find, just bypass the Wuyi Stele to locate.

Speaking of the Four Symbols Sky Witch Stele, it’s a well-known landmark among Four Symbols City residents.

The city’s main public buildings are all erected near the Heavenly Witch Tablet.

The city’s history book, available in temp housing, also introduced the monument, which resembles a gravestone.

The history explains that Four Symbols City wasn’t built by Human Race Dark Practitioners or Sun Venerate. It was founded by a group of, or more accurately, thirteen uniquely gifted Sky Witches.

Legend has it that the Sky Witches were the Creator God’s chosen thirteen most-talented Dark Practitioners from the Star Plane, most possessing superpowers like divination, elixir pills, breeding, artifact refining, farming, blessing, etc. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The Thirteen Sky Witches were also divine messengers, relaying messages between planes to the Creator God.

To calm the chaos between planes, the Sky Witches built the Boundary City to fend off outsiders, and the earliest Boundary Army consisted of the Heirs of Sky Witches.

After the Sky Witches’ demise, this Four Symbols Sky Witch Stele was erected to commemorate them.

The arched stele occupies over an acre, towering thirteen meters high, crafted from white jade with Crystal Stones inlaid, symbolizing the Thirteen Sky Witches.

Atop the pedestal, the Four Great Holy Beasts—Sun Dragon rising from the ocean, Moon Tiger descending a mountain, Star Sparrow soaring nine skies, and Chen Wu of long life and prosperity—are said to be the Holy Beast Kings who fought alongside the Sky Witches.

The stele is surrounded by fragrant, evergreen spirit wood and some blessing tributes. It’s said many Dark Practitioners offer prayers before heading to battle.

Passing by, Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, noting ancient seal script and animal motifs engraved on the Heavenly Witch Stele. For some reason, a desolate feeling arose within her heart.

After passing the Heavenly Witch Stele, the group found the employment agency to the stele’s front-left.

The employment agency, an ancient-style building resembling the Han and Tang architecture in Yue Xiaoqi’s past life memory, featured flying eaves and red beams, decorated with various fragrant herbs.

Inside the employment agency, people flowed constantly, bustling more than anywhere else.

Among them were unfamiliar faces, likely newcomers to Four Symbols City like Yue Jinghua and her companions.

The job offerings at Four Symbols City’s employment agency were diverse, but unfortunately, there were few tasks for newcomers, and they had already spent considerable time, leaving only Qian Luo securing employment.

"A Star District resident, Li Shanshui, needs a soundproof Dark Array set up by his yard, with a payment of two Merit Points," Qian Luo sighed with relief after viewing the task, as Array Masters are quite sought after in Four Symbols City.

This soundproof Dark Array posed no difficulty for her, as on the Titan, Yue Jinghua instructed Qian Luo to install soundproof arrays in each cabin for privacy, far surpassing modern soundproof walls and windows in effectiveness.

"At least someone found a job; now there’s some assurance," Shalman consoled himself, looking dejected.

In fact, Yue Jinghua also spotted a job seeking tattoo masters for engraving Holy Runes, but the requirement was for recognition as a High-level Holy Rune Master on the continent, a qualification only the Divine Court could grant.

Due to some personal grievances with Sha Yan, Yue Jinghua never considered taking the Divine Court’s examination.

"No worries, we’ll come back in a few days, it’s getting late, let’s head to Star Sparrow Hall to forge our weapons for future use," Yue Jinghua patted Shalman on the shoulder, leading the trio towards the Star Sparrow Hall, conveniently next to the employment agency.
