Chapter 114: Registration
Recently, the Star City has been much more lively than usual, and people who come and go are discussing the immortal ascension conference to be held here in the Sanqing Palace. Some illiterate people thought it was a fresh food conference such as tasting seafood, but they were ridiculed by others before they realized that this immortal is not the other's fresh. But the meaning is almost the same, anyway, there are a lot of people coming and going, and it basically doesn't have much to do with those of them who don't want to participate in it at all.
However, the deacons, family members, and guards of the City Lord's Mansion spared no effort to publicize it in the city, saying that this immortal ascension conference does not care about family background and education level, as long as there is this idea, you can sign up, and there is no cost, as long as you can enter the Sanqing Palace, it will be a soaring prosperity. This has hit a lot of people's pain points, and made this group of illiterate lower-class workers want to give it a try.
However, no matter how good it is said in the propaganda, it is all said, and there is no actual thing, and it still can't make most people feel excited. And that's a monk, a legendary immortal master, a spell with a miraculous skill or something, how could it be so easy for them to cultivate. So most of the people in the city were still in a wait-and-see attitude, neither rushing to sign up, nor completely refusing.
This is a big deal for the deacons in charge of the registration affairs, they have already made a package ticket in front of the city lord and the immortal master, and there will definitely be more people who sign up than expected, who knows that the first day is almost over, only a few dozen people have signed up, and most of them are still waiting. Moreover, these dozens of people who signed up are still relatives and friends of this group of deacons, and the rest are not half of them.
"Well, how is this to be, is this the first day gone?" said one of the deacons in charge of the North City, a little dejected, leaning back in his chair and sighing.
The person next to him was also a little frustrated, and said: "Who knew that these people didn't rush to such a good thing, and thought that we were deceiving them! I don't want to think about how rare this opportunity is, in case the immortal masters see that the enthusiasm of the people in the city is not high, they may have to brush their sleeves and leave!" This person is not worried about anything else, but just to give his son a chance to enter the cultivation sect. He was also one of the people who watched Helianjun arrange the formation from afar in the City Lord's Mansion that day, so he was already full of longing for Helianjun and them in his heart, if not for anything else, but to keep his son from being a servant for the rest of his life, and he also wanted to leave this precious opportunity to his son.
Most of the people here have this idea, after all, they are all errand workers in the city lord's mansion, and they have more or less seen the monk's magical powers, even if they have not witnessed it with their own eyes, after listening to so many people, they believe in it in their hearts, so they are not willing to give up such a precious opportunity. But now, they are starting to worry a little about whether this opportunity is about to run away.
However, they didn't have to worry for long, and by the next day, the situation had taken a huge turn - there were actually people from the outer islands who came here to sign up, and they came in groups, at least seventy or eighty people, and they were all upper-class people from various islands.
At noon, Wu Bai met one of his spies in a side room in Gu's house. The spy looked to be quite old, dressed in rough shortshirts, with calluses on his hands, like an old farmer more than a spy.
The old man knelt down on one knee and said, "Commander, the spies in this city have indeed sent the news back to various places. Early this morning, people from the outer islands who are close to this place have come here to sign up for the Immortal Ascension Conference!"
Wu Bai smiled slightly and said, "As expected, these people have the most intelligent noses and know what is good and what is bad. Just hearing that a monk sect has sent to recruit disciples, he doesn't care about the spies in ambush in the city. ”
The old man continued: "The commander still knows people's hearts, and knows that these people can't wait to have the opportunity to contact the monks, so they will come to my Star City in a hurry. I just don't know, if these people are really selected by the Sanqing Palace and become immortal masters, will they have any impact on our Star City?"
Wu Bai shook his head and said, "You, your vision is still too shallow. Even if these people all entered the Sanqing Palace, so what? You must know that the palace master of the Sanqing Palace originally accepted the city lord who took office as our junior disciple, and these people joined the Sanqing Palace, and they were just ordinary disciples, and there were too many poor statuses. Moreover, among the three generations of disciples of the Three Qing Palaces, the highest status is the immortal master named Shoujing, who is the first disciple of the three generations, the great disciple of the mountain, and the person who went out of our Star City. No matter how you look at it, these people will not threaten the status of my Sanqing Palace. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Moreover, don't forget, this Immortal Ascension Conference was held in my Star City after all, this is the case for the first time, and it will inevitably be like this in the future, as long as enough people from our Star City join the Sanqing Palace, there will be no loss in the status of our Star City." ”
The old man bowed, and then said with some disappointment: "Hey, it's a pity that there are so many people in our city, and not many people can have this vision, but let outsiders seize the opportunity." ”
Wu Bai said indifferently: "It's okay, after all, they don't know much about monks, unlike our City Lord's Mansion who still has contact with monks." Ordinary people's understanding of monks is still in legends, and the last time I saw a monk was when the Qin Palace Master of Sanqing Palace came to Star City twenty years ago. But today is different, since there are outsiders who take the lead, then those who are watching in the city will definitely not be left behind, presumably the number of people who have signed up has increased now. ”。
As Wu Bai expected, the four registration points in the city were already overcrowded. Since the people from the outer islands landed on the island, rumors have spread all over the place, and there are all kinds of things, so they almost say that these people from the outer islands are the disciples of the Sanqing Palace. Now the people who are still watching are in a hurry, and they can't care about observing anymore, so they directly call their own children and go to the registration point to sign up for the immortal ascension conference.
Originally, according to the expected idea, if the flow of people at these four registration points was even, two months would be enough time for everyone to register, but this time, too many people crowded over, so that the deacons of the four registration points suddenly fell into a hurry. They persuaded most of the people to sign up in the next two months, and the number of people who could complete the registration in one day would not be reduced because of the difference in the order of the registration time. However, this kept them so busy that they didn't have time to eat, so they hurriedly pulled two mouthfuls of pasta and were done.
