According to the old man, Morotian is divided into four urban districts in the southeast and west. The total population of the four districts together reaches hundreds of thousands.

Overpopulation directly makes it difficult for most people in the city to find jobs like this old man.

Among them, the lower class mortals are the main ones.

So, these people came to the streets and started running errands for the monks, even carrying the monks' horses and oxen like livestock.

Hearing this, Su Xing then asked: "There are some people on the street who look as old as you. What's going on?"

The old man replied: "Mortals like us, if we just work as cows and horses, we will definitely not be able to support ourselves, so sometimes we will go to worship the statue of 'Shou'."

"The statue of 'Shou'? What is that?" Su Xing asked in confusion: "Can I still get money by worshiping that statue?"

"It's really rich." The old man said with a helpless smile: "However, there is a price to pay for worshiping the statue of 'Shou'."

I don't know when it started.

Taoist Yuanlong, the city lord of Moluotian, was crazy about a creature called "Shou" and built a statue of "Shou" in the central square of the city.

When the statue was first built, Taoist Yuanlong would reward those who worshiped the statue with a large number of spiritual coins.

Just worship the statue to get spiritual coins.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people coming to worship in the city.

But this didn't last long.

In just two or three days, someone in the city discovered that worshiping the statue of longevity seemed to accelerate their own aging.

Although this kind of aging will not shorten a person's lifespan, it will make people weak and look older...

Once the news spread, no one in the city dared to worship the statue.

Especially women.

For most women, appearance is far more important than a few spiritual coins.

As the number of people worshiping the statue gradually decreased, the city owner, Taoist Yuanlong, began to increase the money.

He raised the reward for worshiping the statue from the original 10 pieces to 50 pieces at a time, and worshipers came one after another.

Common people with higher incomes in Morotian only earn 50 spiritual coins per month.

And by worshiping the statue once, you can directly receive nearly a month's income. Not many people can refuse this temptation.

Especially for those at the bottom who can't earn spiritual coins.

Over time, there were countless "old people" in the streets and alleys of Morotian.

After learning about the magic of the 'Shou' statue, Su Xing became interested.

He asked: "Brother, do you know what the statue of 'Shou' looks like? How does it make people age?"

The old man replied: "It is said that the statue of 'Shou' was made by craftsmen according to the instructions of the city lord. No one has ever seen the real 'Shou'... So many people say that there is no 'Shou' in this world."

'This kind of creature, that statue can make people age, and it's the city lord who is behind it."

Is the city lord behind all of this?

But what is his purpose in doing this?

Su Xing secretly noted this down and asked, "Do you know where the nearest inn is?"

"Molu Tianxu is not allowed to enter or leave. There are no passengers passing by at all, and there is no inn anywhere."

"So, are there any cheap houses around here that I can live in?"

"this...."

The old man thought for a while and suggested to Su Xing: "Shangxian, if you really want to find a place to live, you might as well find a job directly in the city... Hundreds of thousands of people are crowded together in Moruo Tian, ​​causing

Land prices are so high that it’s scary to think that instead of paying a high price to buy a house, it’s better to just find a place with accommodation and work.”

In Moratian, Su Xing first had to solve two problems:

First, he needs to find a place to live.

Secondly, it is to get in touch with the monk circle as soon as possible so that he can sell the life-span medicine in his hand, accumulate "black silk thread" and improve his strength.

According to the old man, finding a place where you can work will not only solve the accommodation problem, but also get in touch with some monks who are also in the Qi training period.

This proposal is feasible.

After Su Xing thought about it for a moment, he took out another 10 spirit coins from his storage bag and handed it to the old man: "Then do you know if there is any shortage of people around here?"

"May I ask the Immortal, is there anything you are good at?"

"Well... I'm relatively good at pharmacology and alchemy."

"Refining elixirs?"

The old man thought about it for a moment: "It seems that there are still a few monks planting spiritual herbs in the spiritual medicine garden in the east district of the city. Do you think?"

When Su Xing heard that there was a shortage of people in the elixir garden, Su Xing immediately agreed without even thinking about it.

This time, the few spiritual herbs he lacked when refining the life-span medicine were all found...

…

East District of Mora Tiancheng.

Inside the elixir garden.

After some twists and turns, Su Xing finally met the manager of the elixir garden.

Because he had something to ask for, he gave a junior salute to Dei Guanshi, who was also at the fifth level of Qi training, and said respectfully: "I'm in Su Xing, and I've seen Dei Guanshi."

"Um...."

On a wicker chair.

Manager Lei sat up, looked at Su Xing carefully, and said with satisfaction: "The fifth level of Qi training, right?"

Su Xing maintained a respectful attitude: "In charge of Hui Lei, I am indeed at the fifth level of Qi training."

"Have you ever worked in the elixir garden before? Have you ever learned the method of sending spiritual energy to Lingcaodu?"

"I have worked in a medicine garden for several months, and I have mastered the techniques of transferring spiritual energy."

"That's good."

As the detonator said, he suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Um... you want to come to work here, you should understand the rules, right?"

Morotian has a large population.

Even for monks such as Su Xing who are in the Qi training stage, it is quite difficult to find a job.

When monks are looking for a job, in addition to having a certain amount of experience, they sometimes have to offer some benefits to the people above them.

In short, it's just to give some spiritual stones.

According to the rules, if Su Xing wants to work in the elixir garden, he must first hand over ten spiritual stones to Manager Lei.

in the house.

Seeing Su Xing's silence, Manager Lei frowned and said displeasedly: "You came to my place to find a job, didn't you even prepare spiritual stones?"

It's not that Su Xing can't afford the spiritual stone.

He was only attracted by the shouting outside the house.

——I saw more than a dozen monks working in the elixir garden, lined up in a row, shouting slogans like demons.

“Keep moving forward and strive for self-improvement!”

"If you work tirelessly, God will reward your hard work!"

They shouted and made some strange movements.

This move made Su Xing recall what he saw and heard on Earth...

It's okay to let Su Xing work, even if he's a little tired.

He can accept these.

But if Su Xing were to be like those monks who had to shout various slogans in the yard before working every day, then Su Xing would be a little unbearable.

This made him feel unreasonable disgust in his heart, and he decisively refused: "I'm sorry, I really forgot to bring the spirit stone, so I'll take my leave now."

With that said, Su Xing was about to walk out of the house.

"Stand!"

Seeing that Su Xing was about to leave, Manager Lei immediately stood up from the wicker chair and patted his palms twice.

Hearing the noise inside the house, the three Qi Practitioners rushed to the door and formed a line to block Su Xing's path.

Maybe it’s because I feel like I have strength in numbers.

Although they were both at the fifth level of Qi training, Lei Guanshi behaved extremely arrogantly: "Do you think you can come to my place whenever you want and leave whenever you want?"

Su Xing turned around and frowned: "Guan Lei, what do you mean?"

Manager Lei smiled and said: "If you don't want to do my job in the elixir garden, there are naturally many people who are willing to do it, and we won't force you to stay... However, since I spent time meeting you, why don't you stay?
To be continued...
