Now that I have nothing to do with the so-called Steward Liu of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the ten thousand spirit crystals paid to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have brought them here. From now on, it's up to them.

Want to get more services? In one word, pay more.

Lu Ren didn't have the intention to stay in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance any longer. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance didn't quite welcome them either. After all, they were just doing a snakehead business, and of course, they'd send them away as far as possible.

What made Lu Ren feel a sense of frustration the most was that just by looking around casually, one could see cultivators of at least the Initial Stage of Celestial Immortal, and there were not a few Ultimate Celestial Immortals as well.

"Are you surprised?"

Ao Li, who had been in seclusion refining the Dragon Ball, finally spoke, his words full of mockery.

Lu Ren's expression changed slightly, "Have you been to this place?"

In the Inner Heaven and Earth Cosmos, Ao Li snorted softly, crossed his arms, and said with great pride, "This Border City, I have followed my father here before, but the power of our True Dragon Race is not here."

It seemed that Ao Li still had a lot of things he hadn't told him. Lu Ren didn't have the heart to dig deeper, he just asked, "Do you know the Path of Success?"

He stood there for a long while, just about to wander aimlessly, when Lu Ren's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at a middle-aged man approaching him.

That middle-aged cultivator was slightly surprised to see Lu Ren's gaze shift to him. He had tried to approach silently, but he didn't expect the other party to notice at once and enter a state of readiness to fight. Any slight movement from him would be met with a stormy attack the next second.

Feeling the unsettling sense of danger in his heart, the middle-aged man had to stand three meters away from Lu Ren, a smile on his face, and said, "This Daoist friend must be new to Border City, right?"

Lu Ren's gaze remained calm as he looked indifferently at the middle-aged cultivator, "What advice do you have?"

Not minding Lu Ren's increasingly cold demeanor, which even carried a sense of deep vigilance, the middle-aged cultivator said, "Since you're new here, this Border City is vast. If you want to settle down, you'll need to find a livelihood."

Hearing this, Lu Ren's vigilance diminished slightly as he realized, "So, you're a middleman."

"Middleman?" The middle-aged cultivator was initially taken aback, then chuckled after pondering, "That's a good term, very good!"

He introduced himself, "I am Cao Dejing, from the Ten Thousand Households Commerce Association, specializing in human resources, tailored for beginners like yourselves, new cultivators in Border City."

As he spoke, he pulled out a jade token from his sleeve and continued chatting, "Daoist friend, you see, this contains countless channels of our Ten Thousand Households Commerce Association."

Lu Ren took the jade token, his divine sense probed slightly, and his expression became odd.

Hurry! Treasure miners needed, ten spirit crystals a day; vehicle puller cultivators, eleven spirit crystals a day; artifact refining factory workers, fifteen spirit crystals...

Lu Ren's expression darkened slightly, almost slapping the jade token on the middle-aged cultivator Cao Dejing's face. This guy was treating him like a beast of burden!

Back when he was in the mortal world in Huaxia, without any special skills, the only option was to work in a factory. Now, having painstakingly cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal Extreme Realm, arriving at this place where top cosmos experts gather, it's still the fate of entering a factory.

When I shouted, "My fate will be determined by myself, not by the heavens," I never imagined it would come to this!

"You want me, a dignified Celestial Immortal cultivator, to be a clothes maker?! Who do you think I am?! Do you even know that I once used nearly a quarter of a river system to refine a divine weapon?! I am unmatched in artifact refining, unmatched in the world! I came here not to be a clothes maker, but to attain the Golden Immortal Path Fruit, to achieve eternal immortality, indestructible in ten thousand tribulations, and you expect me to be a clothes maker?!"

Beside him, a cultivator pulled at the purple-haired cultivator's clothes, his expression filled with disbelief as he shouted loudly.

The purple-haired cultivator, with an air of light breeziness, remained as steady as Mount Tai, clearly accustomed to dealing with emotional cultivators like this, being shaken and yelled at.

With great calmness, the purple-haired cultivator said, "This Daoist friend, you're new to Border City and don't know. Border City gathers countless prodigious talents. Even those excellent ones seem ordinary here. Moreover, Celestial Immortal is only the beginning. Beyond are Taiyi Celestial Immortal Tier One. Only upon reaching the Peak of Celestial Immortal can you qualify to pursue the Golden Immortal Path Fruit."

The purple-haired cultivator's fingertips emitted a faint glow, soft yet carrying an unstoppable force that pushed away the shouting cultivator's hands. The cultivator's expression changed, quickly retreating several steps, watching the purple-haired cultivator vigilantly, now silent.

The skill shown by the purple-haired cultivator was indeed surprising. That kind of unstoppable power definitely exceeded the Power of the Ultimate Celestial Immortal.

The shouting cultivator swiftly calmed his expression, narrowed his eyes, "Is this the Taiyi Celestial Immortal Realm?"

The purple-haired cultivator smiled brightly, "I said, those who can become Celestial Immortals know right from wrong."

He paused, smoothing his slightly wrinkled clothes, and continued, "Daoist friend, although you have some skills in your small area, here, you truly are a beginner."

"Beginner?!"

The cultivator's expression trembled slightly, wanting to say something, but turned to glance at two female cultivators passing by. The aura they exuded was undoubtedly at the Peak of Celestial Immortal, leaving him speechless.

If even the most basic populace here was composed of cultivators from the Initial Stage of Celestial Immortal, the level of cultivation resources and hierarchy here was beyond their imagination.

To put it metaphorically, it's like cave-dwelling humans from the mountain tops suddenly stepping into modern civilization society, creating a huge cultural gap that could entirely reorganize their worldview.

The cultivators who accompanied Lu Ren, paying ten thousand spirit crystals to come here, seemed a bit dazed. In the end, they followed the purple-haired cultivator, muttering about wanting to see what was so mysterious about being a clothes maker.

Cao Dejing withdrew his gaze, a smile spreading on his slightly plump face, "I see Daoist friend is well trained in slaughtering. I do have a friend who provides security for a commerce association. They are hiring Celestial Immortal Extreme Realm cultivators as security guards. Would you be interested?"

Lu Ren, having calmed down, nodded slightly, "I will consider this." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Cao Dejing knew Lu Ren was politely declining but wasn't offended, just smiling as he handed over his Communication Spirit Talisman, "May I have your communication number, Daoist friend?"
