—------------------—
The first generation of battle armor came out, with Gu Zhaoqiu as the main character. Xiong Jun was willing to devote himself to forging it, and achieved a leapfrog victory over Di Tian, which is cause for celebration.
Xu Tianxi took the opportunity to ask Xiong Jun to help the Heavenly Court look after the situation while taking care of the auspicious beast. Xiong Jun rolled his eyes and said,
"Helping you fight is a small matter, but any benefits we gain cannot be lost on our Star Dou Great Forest. Do you understand?"
"My sister just said that we are also a family." Xu Tianxi pointed at Gu Zhaoqiu, who was wearing a battle armor that could shake the sky and the earth in the distance, and said that you just need to keep an eye on her.
The God King Tang has always been very interested in the bloodline of the auspicious beast. Xu Tianxi has always been a little worried that the two guys from the Haotian Sect would attack her. Now that Xiong Jun is here, she can feel much more at ease.
Unless Princess Tang takes the initiative to visit him, it means that his life will be relatively stable.
He had already asked the Mountain Dragon King to look at the so-called "luck". The Mountain Dragon King said that if you don't look carefully, you can't tell that Xu Tianxi's luck is any different from that of ordinary people. It seems that the plane consciousness is deliberately covering it up.
The Water God Pearl given to Xu Tianxi by the Water God is the key to open the divine test. Under the guidance of the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King, Xu Tianxi developed the ability to conceal his breath.
Even if some gods pay attention to Xu Tianxi, they will find out at the first time that he is the descendant of the Water God, so it is not surprising that he has some differences from ordinary people.
With the Mountain Dragon King in charge of the Sea of Spirits, unless a god of level one or above comes into close contact with Xu Tianxi, he will not be able to detect any difference in his soul power or mental power. Even the Water God will be blocked in turn.
This is what is called double insurance.
Of course, just because he is not too worried about his identity being discovered doesn't mean he is not afraid of the God King Tang. The latter has been there much longer than him, and no matter how weak he is, he is still no match for the God King. He cannot be his opponent before he becomes a god.
As his reputation grew, it was natural for him to be noticed by the Haotian Sect and even the God King Tang. In the past, they might have only focused on the geniuses of the original Three Kingdoms, but now they should pay attention to him, the runaway.
Because of this sense of urgency, all he could do was to become stronger before being discovered, to become a Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo, so that he would not be threatened by the means left by the God King Tang on the Douluo Continent.
And as for the Qiankunwenqing Valley, sooner or later we'll throw a bunch of ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided shells over there and blow them all to pieces.
At the same time, we must also focus on developing the power of faith. The concept of the Heavenly Court of promoting the ascension of all religions is very positive, and we must insist on ascending first and then leading the others to ascend.
There are limited spaces in the divine realm. When I, the Lord of Heaven, ascend to heaven, I will first eliminate the old forces and promote new forces, so as to expand the scope of the divine realm and accommodate more candidates for becoming gods, and not let my peers die of old age in the lower realm.
The opening of the Heavenly Court is imminent, and important personnel from all parties must be in place. Gu Zhaoqiu, the representative of the Star Dou side, and the two ferocious beasts are already in place. After persuading the Xiong Jun to be the first warrior of the Heavenly Court, Xu Tianxi immediately finds the Xue Di to discuss the situation in the Far North.
Xue Di was in high spirits, with a smile on her face. She chatted with Xu Tianxi while asking Su Tong to pour tea.
"Opening? Great! Xiaobai, A-Tai, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Xiao Su, this is the Lord of Heavenly Court, your future boss. Say hello to him. You met him last time when we made a soul connection."
Su Tong put down the teacup and immediately stood at attention with a solemn expression as instructed by the Xue Di, and said loudly to Xu Tianxi:
"Reporting to the boss, I am Su Tong, the Six-ringed Soul Emperor, formerly of the Tianhun Empire, and now of the Sun and Moon Empire. I am ready to accept your orders at any time. Please give me your instructions!"
Xu Tianxi glanced at this ultimate ice female soul master. Her appearance was described as "extremely beautiful" in the original book. Upon closer inspection, she was indeed quite good and a standard beauty.
Not as good as Gu Zhaoqiu, who is on the same level as Meng Hongchen and Xu Jiujiu.
"Very good. My Heavenly Court is about to open, and I'm in need of a Person to look after it. I see that the Xue Di trusts you very much. From now on, you will be the key liaison to the Far North. You will work flexibly during the weekdays, write reports on the soul beasts' moods, and when you have time, you will look after the place for me and deal with those crazy people who come to challenge me."
"Also, the Heavenly Court will require special personnel like you to go out on field missions when necessary, and your compensation will be calculated separately."
"As for the salary, we're in the startup phase right now, so the base monthly salary is 5,000 gold soul coins. If you're interested in working part-time as a salesperson and bringing in clients, you'll receive commissions. The year-end bonus is separate. The Sun-Moon Empire's personal insurance and housing fund are all covered by the Heavenly Court, ensuring you can afford a house in Mingdu."
"Once you break through to the seventh, eighth, or even Titled Douluo realm, your benefits will continue to improve. I've done market research beforehand, and these are benefits that other sects and forces haven't even experienced. How do you think?"
Xu Tianxi knew that this was a natural genius with an ultimate martial spirit, and he valued him very much. If he could cultivate to become a Titled Douluo, he would be a top-level combat force.
"Yes! Boss! Anyone below the seventh ring dares to invade our Heavenly Court, and we will make sure he never returns!"
Su Tong raised one hand above her head, her tone firm, her expression awe-inspiring like the cold wind and snow, her black pupils sharp as swords, her eyes flying.
The monthly base salary is 5,000 gold soul coins, which is definitely far more than the salary of an ordinary Soul Emperor. There is also the so-called year-end bonus, which I am really looking forward to.
Xu Tianxi was a little curious when he saw this. He wondered how Xiaobai and A Tai had made this girl look so ruthless and murderous. Did they teach her to do muscle exercises every day?
This kind of demeanor seems very suitable for being brought to the battlefield.
Xue Di covered her mouth with her sleeves and chuckled softly, "Su Tong and I are destined to be together. I taught her cultivation for a period of time, so she is considered half my disciple. Don't underestimate her in the future. She has great potential."
"Don't worry, I've always been good at selecting and appointing people to the right positions. By the way, Xiao Su, do you have any relatives in the Tianhun Empire? If so, tell me and I'll arrange for someone to bring them over to reunite with you."
Xu Tianxi responded to Xue Di's words, and immediately considered the family warmth of top talents, and continued:
"I've done market research beforehand. We at Heavenly Court must not only meet leading mainland Douluo Continent standards in terms of compensation, but also provide warmth and human connection, ensuring that every employee has no worries and can devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work."
Su Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a mother who is a Soul Emperor. She is still in the Tianhun Empire, but she is injured and may not be able to take on any important tasks..."
"We in Heavenly Court need elders like Auntie to urge the younger generation to cultivate. We can still afford a monthly pension of two to three thousand gold soul coins!"
Xu Tianxi interrupted Su Tong without a second's delay and raised his hand, saying, "You will meet your family within three days. Go make some preparations first. If you feel bad about it, you can consider learning the soul-transmitting spell from me and becoming a part-time soul-transmitting master. A few thousand gold soul coins will be a bonus then."
Su Tong was stunned. Had the boss already finalized her case? Were the terms "human warmth" and "pension" from the Douluo Continent? Why was she confused?
Why does this boss have a silly vibe about him just throwing money around? Does his money just fall from the sky?
Xue Di smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"Su Tong, go back and practice first. These things are normal. Your boss is a kind-hearted rich second-generation. He has never valued money since he was a child and can't bear to see the poor suffer."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi's passionate expression froze for a moment.
What do you mean I'm a kind-hearted rich second-generation who doesn't treat money as money? The Xuanming Sect's lucrative elixir business isn't that arrogant...
But then again, his Heavenly Court currently has a monopoly on soul products. Since this is his first business venture, he shouldn't be running it poorly and end up going bankrupt, right? He remembered that some conscientious companies in his previous life could also afford to eat.
Well, in order to prevent some idlers from wasting his rice money, corresponding rules and regulations must be kept up to date, as well as employee background checks. Talents from the original Three Kingdoms can be used, but those who have anything to do with Shrek must be used with extreme caution.
Su Tong didn't know that Xu Tianxi had mentally blacklisted everyone from Shrek and almost kicked her out. She walked out in a daze, feeling as if she had been hit by a pie in the sky.
Watching Su Tong leave, Xue Di chuckled, a smile in her deep blue eyes, and said, "Although I don't understand much about your human world, you seem really stupid. Aren't you afraid that some people will eat you out of money?"
Xu Tianxi sneered and said, "If you take my salary, you have to work. If someone can use my money to do a good job and make a fortune for himself, then that's his ability. It shows that he is talented!"
"I, Xu, am currently worried about how to spend all my money. I'm not worried about not having enough money, but I'm worried about not having enough talent! Gold Soul Coins are only valuable when they're spent, and this kind of talent can't be bought with any amount of Gold Soul Coins."
Xue Di smiled and nodded, saying calmly, "It's really interesting. I'll ask Xiao Bai and the others to pay more attention and see how many ice-attribute geniuses there are in this era..."
"Haha, that's the best..."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside.
"DongDongDong~"
"Hello, Boss Kong, are you here?"
Xu Tianxi recognized Ning Tian's voice, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Come in."
Xue Di was surrounded by smoke and disappeared in an instant.
Ning Tian walked in and said bluntly, "Boss Kong, we've been looking for you for three months and finally found you. We from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect want to give you some money. Do you dare to accept it?"
Xu Tianxi crossed his hands on the table and said happily, "What do you mean?"
"We just robbed a sum of money from Shrek. In view of the great contribution made by our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect this time, shouldn't you also express your gratitude? The three Titled Douluo we captured by you were really injured and haven't recovered yet." Ning Tian said seriously.
Xu Tianxi pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Indeed, we were able to precisely deal with the people from the former Three Kingdoms this time. Your intelligence and cooperation were perfect, and they were a great contribution. We deserve a share of this technology, and if you're willing to invest, that would be great."
The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is an old sect with a history of thousands of years. It is of great significance, and it is necessary to spend a huge amount of money to buy horse bones.
"It's just that I see that your current cultivation level is still some distance away from the fifth ring. It seems that you are still a little short of the ten thousand year soul bond we agreed on."
Xu Tianxi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled and said, "I have another business waiting for you. Are you interested?"
