Chapter 1177: I’ll take this job

“Divine Demon Beasts?” Shelandra and Venali pondered over the question for a bit.

After some time, Venali seemed to remember something. “I believe the Sacred Land does have a guardian demon beast. Perhaps that’s what you are talking about. However, I don’t know where it is or even if it’s a Divine Demon Beast or not.”

Shelandra shook her head, telling him, “Same for me. Your best chance is to head to the Demon Beast Hall and see if you can get information there. I doubt they would tell a simple Inner Disciple any information about their Guardian Beast, though.”

Rean already expected as much. “Is that so?”

“Why do you need a Divine Demon Beast?” Venali asked with a puzzled expression.

However, Rean just brushed off that question, telling him, “Oh, it’s nothing. I was just curious about something.”

Rean then turned around and began to make his way out. “Anyways, this makes us even. I’m going to the Blacksmith Hall now. See you around.”

Shelandra and Venali definitely didn’t think it was just mere curiosity. However, it wasn’t their business anyway. With that, those two left as well.

However, Sister Orb couldn’t help but ask Rean after that. [Why do you need a Divine Demon Beast? You already have Kentucky and Celis, no?]

‘That’s exactly why,’ Rean replied. ‘Celis and Kentucky don’t know how they should act in the Realm of Gods. Also, I wanted to check whether Divine Demon Beasts are supposed to talk about their cultivation or not. If it turns out that they can, we can use it as an excuse for Kentucky and Celis’s ability to talk.’

-Helper needed to try out a new righteous path cultivation technique. It has only been theorized so far, and there are risks of backlash. Signing a Soul Binding Contract is necessary. However, you are allowed to use this technique in the future as long as you don’t share it. It will all be in the contract. Reward: 7000 Merit Points.-

-Helper needed for a new forbidden alchemy pill. The job is to test the effects of the pill on the soul, trying to increase its power. Treatment and compensation for any side effects will be provided. No need for a Soul Binding Contract. Reward: 13000 Merit Points.-

-Helper needed...

Roan went through several rows of jobs of that type. Sure enough, they provided a lot more Merit Points and could be finished much faster, some on the very same day. Compared to the missions and tasks, this really looked like a windfall. However, the fact that many more cultivators were looking into the normal missions and tasks instead of these helper jobs showed how risky they were.

Eventually, Roan saw one that caught his eyes.

-Helper needed. Testing a new righteous path meridian circulation method for the Mantis Blade skill. High chance of body damage. Pills will be provided to recover any lost body parts or shattered meridians. The helper is allowed to use the skill with the new meridian path in the future. However, they will need to sign a Soul Binding Contract, stating that they won’t share the information. Reward: 16000 Merit Points.-

Roan took the job and checked its details.

-Contractor: Orphi Tian-

-Contractor’s Realm: Elemental Transformation Late Stage-

-Location: Inner Sect, Residence 5983-

Roan then brought it to the counter soon after, saying, “I’ll take this job.”
