Zhang Tie also stood up with the others as he made a special hand rite like others.
There were too many rites in Taixia Country, including crossing hands rite, cupping hands rite, palms rite, bowing rite, kowtowing rite, ect.. Each rite was further divided into many categories. Among them, kowtowing rite contained nine varieties, which was really remarkable but confusing. So many rites were the products of social development at this age. However, in Motian Realm, as humans and demons had been fighting for tens of thousands of years, the rites here were much simpler and classic like those in the military camps. In Motian Realm, commoners would cup their hands towards each other. They would lower their heads and cup their hands only when they saw dignified clan elders or supreme immortal generals or immortal emperors who could open immortal palaces. They would pray in immortal palaces or immortal halls.
As for hand rites, people would cross their hands on their chest before pushing them upwards quickly, regardless of gender.
When the old man and the woman entered, Zhang Tie could only abandon the questions for the time being. As he had just been to Motian Realm for a couple of days, he had not communicated with many people. Nor did he know Motian Realm well; especially the secrets and knowledge of immortal general in this world. No matter what, as long as he could settle down in this world, he would have enough time and opportunities to learn from people.
Zhang Tie then recovered his composure.
Not knowing whether it was just an illusion or not, Zhang Tie felt that the two people had glanced at him stealthily when they entered.

Sorry for being late, please have a seat…
the old man replied calmly with a hands rite, which meant that he was the host of this job fair.
Those immortal generals in the room had long been impatient; especially the two immortal generals whom Zhang Tie met outside. The moment everyone took a seat, one of the two guys had opened his mouth.

It’s said that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is recruiting immortal generals, is it true?


It’s true. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is indeed recruiting immortal generals. Besides the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, all the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palaces above 3 scales across Motian Realm are recruiting immortal generals!
the old man said calmly.
After hearing the old man’s response, the fierce immortal general instantly let out a sigh as he continued,
I wonder about the regulations and requirements and whether treatment varies with level, 10 element crystals for each level higher?


Each immortal general would have at least 10 element crystals monthly. If you make meritorious deeds or acquire major titles, you might get more!
the old man in black long robe with dragon pattern explained calmly. However, when the two fierce immortal generals’ eyes sparkled, the old man’s following words slightly changed their faces,
However, we’re recruiting immortal generals through bloody a pledge; instead of a contracted pledge…

Not only the two fierce generals, but even the other immortal generals in the room also looked pale after hearing the old man’s words. The two women beside Zhang Tie exchanged a glance with each other as they turned solemn at once.
Zhang Tie was confused as he kept asking Ji Yuelan secretly using battle qi,
What’s a contracted pledge? What’s a bloody pledge?

Ji Yuelan had long treated Zhang Tie as an immortal general who had forgotten about everything. Therefore, after hearing Zhang Tie’s question, she told him secretly,
Contracted recruitment refers to signing a contract with immortal palace whose duration varies from one year to many years; at most dozen of years. After the contract is terminated, the employee would recover his or her freedom. It’s the most often pattern for recruiting immortal generals adopted by immortal palaces. As for recruitment through a bloody pledge, the immortal generals who join the immortal palace should make an immortal bloody pledge to serve the immortal palace faithfully. Unless they were hunted by the entire immortal palace due to betrayal, they could not be free any longer. Generally, most of the bloody pledges aim at recruiting immortal generals that immortal palaces cultivate since young or immortal generals of clans which have previously served immortal palaces. Few immortal generals are recruited from outside like this. You’d better watch out!

Zhang Tie understood it right away. The so-called contracted recruitment was equal to the recruitment of short-term staff or contracted staff; the so-called recruitment through a bloody pledge meant the business group was expanding its shareholders. The staff being recruited in the earlier pattern only served the business group for a limited period of time. By contrast, in the second pattern, employees were bound to the business group. If the business group could grow prosperous, it would be acceptable for real; however, if the business group was in the red, the employees would be trapped. Given the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, it might be more suitable to the latter kind.

Since Dragon Emperor has disappeared for over 900 years, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is on the brink of collapse. However, it is still recruiting immortal generals through a bloody pledge at our risk. We two are not interested in it. Sorry about that. See you…
The two fierce immortal generals whom Zhang Tie met outside instantly stood up and left after exchanging a glance with each other.
The tall and tough earth immortal general who came here in the end also shook his head as he said,
What a pity! I’m leaving my clan for cultivation. I have to return to the future. See you…

In the blink of an eye, 3 of the 10 people had left.
The old man watched the three people depart quietly.

As Dragon Emperor had disappeared for so many years, why would Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace still recruit immortal generals through the bloody pledge? I wonder how would the elders in the immortal palace develop Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace instead of having us die together with them.
The calm man who used to keep his eyes closed finally opened his mouth.
The old man took a look at that calm man with admiration as he answered in a low voice,
Although the Dragon Emperor is not here, it doesn’t mean that he has died. Perhaps, he would come back one day. Even if the Dragon Emperor has died, it doesn’t mean that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would perish. As long as someone in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace promotes to a supreme immortal general, he would heft the great banner of the immortal palace too!


What if not?
the arrogant earth immortal general asked.

Within 100 years, if the Dragon Emperor doesn’t come back or nobody else in the immortal palace could heft the great banner of the immortal palace, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would perish itself. By then, you could leave freely…
the old man said as he glanced around the others at present,
Within 100 years, although you would sustain a bit more dangers, you would also gain bumper compensation. Although it appears that you’ve created a chance for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, you’re actually creating a chance for yourselves too…
