TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1240: Chapter 494 Immortal Selection Conference Chapter 1240: Chapter 494 Immortal Selection Conference Qingyang Country, No Water City.

Clang clang clang!

Suddenly, a series of gong beats rang out in the city streets.

“Great joyous news!

Great joyous news!”

A high-pitched voice rose along the streets, accompanied by the beating of gongs, instantly spreading through the streets: “Listen up, everyone, the Immortal Master from Qing Mountain Pavilion has sent people to our No Water City to recruit new disciples.

Anyone at home, who is under the age of fifteen and has not participated in the last selection, can bring their children over for the Immortal Master to check their meridians.

As long as they pass the selection, they will immediately enter the Immortal Sect.

The City Lord will also bestow fields and houses to their families, along with a reward of a thousand silver taels.

All the folks with children at home, bring them over.

Gather at the square in front of the governmental office in the city center.

Time is pressing, opportunities are limited, don’t miss out!”

Clang clang clang!

“Folks…”

The shouts were repeated over and over again and echoed continuously throughout the city.

In the Water Joy Restaurant, at a window seat on the second floor.

Li Dancheng opened the window and looked at the announcer passing by outside, curious.

“Has it already been ten years?

Since the last time the Immortal Master came to select Immortal Species, a whole cycle of time has passed.”

“Last time, No Water City presented nearly a thousand young children, but not a single Immortal Species was selected, causing the City Lord to lose face in front of the Immortal Master.

The taxes for these ten years were even punitively increased by ten percent.

If we fail to select an Immortal Species again this year, according to the rules, the taxes will be increased to thirty percent.

If that really happens, everyone’s life these past ten years will truly become unbearable.

People may even starve to death.

The City Lord is also driven to desperation, thus offering such a hefty reward.”

At the neighboring tea table, several guests discussed in agitation.

“Isn’t that the truth?”

Someone grumbled, slightly enviously, “The last time, our neighboring Red Soil City only presented three hundred youths but selected two Immortal Species, truly lucky.

Not only did their city gain two Immortal Masters, but the due taxes were also completely waived.

They even received an additional ten percent subsidy.

Where do you think that money came from, if not from us in No Water City?

Using our money to support them, it’s utterly infuriating.

These years, whenever we encounter people from Red Soil City, us from No Water City can’t even lift our heads, unjustly lowering ourselves.

If we don’t produce an Immortal Species this time, we’ll truly never be able to turn this around.”

“What nonsense are you talking?”

Hearing him speak like this, someone immediately retorted discontentedly: “In preparation for the Immortal Selection Conference, the City Lord not only mobilized the four thousand qualified youths from within the city but also gathered more than ten thousand children and youths from over a hundred villages and towns outside the city.

He even borrowed children from nearby towns and villages, adding up to a few thousand more.

Altogether, there are over twenty thousand children and youths prepared; with so many people, even if it’s one in ten thousand, we should be able to select at least two Immortal Species, right?

So this time, we’ll definitely produce an Immortal Species.

If you don’t understand, stop spreading discouraging nonsense.”

Those nearby who heard this also cast disapproving glances their way.

The previously speaking man, realizing he had drawn everyone’s dissatisfaction, quickly slapped his mouth while repeatedly offering apologetic smiles: “It’s my fault for speaking poorly, look at my foul mouth, it deserves a slap.”

Seeing this, the others nodded in satisfaction and ignored him.

They then joyfully discussed again, with so many young men, just how many Immortal Species could they produce?

“If you ask me, with over twenty thousand people, we should be able to produce at least two or three Immortal Species, right?”

“Two or three?

That’s not enough, at least ten are needed.”

“Nonsense!

According to past practice, with good luck, one Immortal Species could emerge from every thousand people.

We have been unlucky for ten years, this time it must be fortune’s turn, and we should expect twenty or thirty Immortal Species.”

“If we really produce more than ten Immortal Species, it’s likely that for the next hundred years, our No Water City’s taxes could be waived.”

“Exactly, without the Immortal Sect taxes, our lives would become much easier.”

“Not just that!

With more Immortal Species, the chances of producing Immortal Masters also increase.

If we could have several more Immortal Masters, in the future, No Water City could manage its own rainfall.

We wouldn’t need to spend a lot of money every year to invite other Immortal Masters from Qing Mountain Pavilion to make it rain.

That would truly be a blessing for future generations.”

With these words, a feeling of agreement instantly resonated with everyone around.

“Absolutely!

Absolutely!”

The entire restaurant nodded in agreement.

No Water City, No Water City, just by hearing the name of this city, one can tell what kind of place it is.

That’s right, this is a barren land where no rain falls.

For the city’s residents to survive and farm here, their only option is to invite an Immortal Master from Qing Mountain Pavilion to perform Immortal Techniques and bring them rain.

But this way of summoning rain with Immortal Techniques is only a temporary solution.

The next rainfall could last for at most a month, after which the local area would run out of water again, falling back into drought.

Then, not only would vegetation struggle to survive, but the locals living here could also run out of water and die of thirst.

So, whether for survival or for prosperity, people around No Water City must invite an Immortal Master to bring rain.

But inviting an Immortal Master to bring rain isn’t so easy.

It requires having an acquainted Immortal Master willing to help.

And each invitation for an Immortal Master costs a great deal of money.

Each year, the people of No Water City have to give up one-third of their yearly harvest to invite an Immortal Master to bring rain.

One-third of their harvest – that is a tremendously heavy expenditure.
