Chapter 280 Demand Form
The demand list of Jindan cultivators caught the attention of all the Jindan cultivators present. When everyone adds fuel to the fire, the flames burn brighter. This is indeed a very good idea.
Then, Liu Xing charged an agency fee ranging from one hundred to one thousand spirit stones for each item in the list of demands made by everyone. Of course, he did not earn this money, but paid it to the person who provided the information. Liu Xing only collected it on behalf of the person. Later, he would go to the task hall to announce it and gather the strength of the entire sect to collect information.
"Deputy Head Liu has put a lot of thought into this for us, and we are grateful." Everyone expressed their gratitude to Liu Xing. Although they did not pin all their hopes on this, there would be some gains.
"I am honored to be able to do something for all of you seniors. I am not sure whether this method is effective, but I believe that there is strength in numbers, and it will be of some help. In the future, I hope you will take more care and pursue it together." Liu Xing also responded modestly, not daring to take credit for it.
Actually, the idea of a demand list was a rather unremarkable one. Previously, there was a lack of coordinating personnel, and everyone in the world of immortal cultivation was selfish, each minding their own business, not caring about the frost on other people's roofs. Liu Xing had come up with this idea on the spur of the moment, combining marketing advertising with crowdfunding from his previous life. He was surprised by the public's support.
Pei Xiu's eyes lit up. He felt that Junior Brother Liu was exceptionally talented and deeply committed to the sect; he was truly an excellent leader, and he felt a tinge of admiration for him. Zhong Yueqiu, while outwardly supportive, was actually dismissive, believing the idea was unreliable. The reason was that if he advertised his need, others would seize it and raise the price, ultimately making it impossible to buy, or even if he did, it would cost him a great deal.
At dawn, the exchange meeting ended successfully and everyone returned home with great satisfaction.
After seeing off all his fellow disciples, Liu Xing rushed to the mission hall without stopping.
"Welcome, Vice-President Liu. What instructions do you have?" When the steward saw Liu Xing coming into the office, he immediately put down the work in his hands, stood up and saluted.
"Junior brother, don't be nervous. I am here on behalf of all the fellow Jindan disciples in the sect to announce the required tasks." Liu Xing said lightly.
"Ah, yes." The manager was shocked. There were so many Jindan seniors in the sect, how many tasks would they have to complete.
Liu Xing handed the request form, with the names redacted, to the steward. The steward took a look and saw over a thousand items, many of which he had never heard of. Come to think of it, the things a Jindan senior sought were beyond the reach of a mere Foundation Establishment disciple like him. However, the Jindan request form didn't require anyone to find the actual item; providing information offered a substantial fee, which made sense.
"This demand form needs to be expedited. If anyone provides information, you must inform me immediately. This is my contact jade talisman. You must do your best to handle this matter and not slack off!" Liu Xing said the latter part, his tone slightly heavier.
"I will do my best to follow the deputy head's orders." The steward nodded nervously.
"As long as the work is done well, I will reward you handsomely. This is a mid-grade spirit stone as a reward. Take it and have some tea." Liu Xing, seeing that the steward was stunned, offered him a little sweet treat. This was a typical method of controlling subordinates: a blow followed by a sweet reward.
"Thank you, Master Liu." The steward happily accepted the spirit stone, even omitting the word "Deputy" before "Master." He thought to himself, this Jindan senior is truly extraordinary, so generous. He was lucky to have met the almighty Deputy Master Liu. As long as he completed this mission, he would have a chance to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Liu Xing finished his instructions and left. The steward bowed and saluted, not standing up until Liu Xing disappeared from the mission hall. He immediately posted the Dan-forming requirements list on the mission hall's public screen and pinned it to the top.
When the news came out, the place became very popular. Thousands of foundation-building cultivators flocked into the mission hall. So many missions were given out at once. All they needed was the information. Not only could they make a lot of money, but they could also take the opportunity to meet senior cultivators who had reached the Jindan stage. Everyone was crazy about it.
However, after everyone finished reading the task, most of them were dumbfounded. They had never even heard of the names of these spiritual medicines and precious materials, let alone any related information.
Li Mu, wedged in the crowd, was only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment stage, making him quite inconspicuous. He read through the tasks one by one. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as the words "Ice Spirit Fruit" caught his eye. He suppressed his excitement and carefully read the description behind it, confirming whether it was the thing he had stumbled upon. Ice Spirit Fruit grows in extremely cold ice caves. Unripe fruit is light green, while ripe, thousand-year-old Ice Spirit Fruit is purple-black. Those below the Core Formation stage are forbidden to approach, as any contact will turn them into ice sculptures.
Yes, the description was exactly the same as the thing he had seen. Back then, not long after establishing his foundation, he accidentally fell into an ice cave while on a mission and was trapped within the barrier for six months, nearly dying. Later, he stumbled upon a weakness in the barrier and escaped. It was in that ice cave that he had seen the Ice Spirit Fruit from afar. However, decades had passed, and he wondered if the fruit had already been taken by someone else, which made him a little nervous. However, he simply provided the information, leaving the rest to the Jindan senior to verify.
There were more than a hundred people like Li Mu who had the news. The manager arranged them in a room to wait, and he immediately notified Liu Xing.
Liu Xing was very surprised. It had only been three days and so many people had come to provide clues. It seemed that if you cast a wide net, you would always be able to catch some fish.
He hurried to the Mission Hall and met the Foundation Establishment juniors who had received the news in the room. The steward greeted him at the door with a nod and a smile on his face.
"Well done!" Liu Xing gave him a big thumbs up.
"Hehehe." The manager rubbed his hands and laughed.
Seeing that the person who came in was actually the candidate for the leader, Liu Xing, everyone was even more excited. They immediately stood up and bowed.
"Meetings, Vice-Master Liu!"
"Everyone, please stand up. No need to be so polite! Thank you for providing the information. As long as the information is true, you will be rewarded handsomely!" Liu Xing said amiably, and emphasized that the rewards were generous to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.
"I'm in the next room. Come in one by one. I'll verify the news."
Liu Xing spoke with everyone one by one, verifying the information. His spiritual awareness was incredibly powerful, and any liar would be exposed. Naturally, the disciples didn't dare to report false information. No one had the guts to tease a Jindan senior, or they would die without a burial place.
After a long time, some disciples left disappointed, their information clearly worthless, while others were delighted, having clearly received a generous reward. After verifying each one, Liu Xing found that a small portion of the information was very valuable, and he initially concluded that following the clues would yield some results.
