Chapter 1405 -51: The First Noble Son of Da Qian_4
[Special Professional Guild], located in the center of Xinping Town, features tall buildings with bright and clean windows. The interior of the hall is even more impressively furnished, with gleaming floors and brilliant lights, giving one the impression of being in an upscale restaurant.
People come and go, handling all sorts of business affairs.
A young woman dressed in plain clothes, leading a little girl of about eight or nine years old by the hand, walked into the building with a look of curiosity. Though she appeared unremarkable on the outside, her eyes were deep and inscrutable. The young girl was also exquisitely adorable, with eyes so pure and full of vitality.
“Welcome to [Special Professional Guild].” A young guide dressed in professional attire approached them and asked politely, “May I help you with anything?”
“What do you do here?” the young woman inquired curiously.
“Profound Martial Cultivators are not all about fighting; first, a stable job and ways to earn cultivation resources are needed.” The guide smiled and continued, “In the past, Independent Cultivators without familial support, or those whose families couldn’t afford it, had limited means to make a living and earn cultivation resources. But through our career planning, you can earn more money under safe conditions.”
“For example, the profession of a Spirit Plant Master: If a Profound Martial Cultivator possesses Wood Type Talent, after cultivating the related Cultivation Techniques and going through a series of training and assessments, they can obtain the Junior Spirit Plant Master qualification. Now, the Changning Wang Clan has a vast number of Spirit Fields, and to plant them haphazardly would be a waste of resources, hence there is a large demand for professional Spirit Plant Masters.”
“Even a new Vital Energy Refining Realm Junior Spirit Plant Master has a starting annual salary of forty Qian Gold, and with experience, there are opportunities for raises and additional profit sharing.”
“Forty Qian Gold?” The woman glanced sideways and commented, “For an ordinary Vital Energy Refining Realm farmer, that income isn’t too shabby.” Then she turned her gaze back to the guide, “You’re at Level Four of Qi Refinement, right? How old are you and how’s your income?”
“Please have a seat first and try the coffee shipped from overseas by Changning’s defense forces,” the guide invited them to sit in the plush seats of the hall and then patiently explained, “My name is Murong Xijuan, I’m eighteen years old, graduated from the nearby thirty-ninth Xin An Intermediate Academy. However, due to my average grades, I wasn’t able to enter Xinping’s higher educational institutions. Thus, I enrolled in a higher vocational college specializing in Alchemy.”
“I haven’t obtained my Junior Alchemist professional qualification certificate yet and still have some loans to repay, so I’m working part-time as a guide while studying. My income isn’t high, about seven Copper Coins a day plus a meal allowance. However, once I get my professional certificate and graduate successfully, I’ll be able to join Wang’s Alchemy Company. The starting annual salary is at least fifty Qian Gold… and I will soon be able to pay off my loan for the Enlightenment Plan.”
Speaking of this, Murong Xijuan’s young face showed a hint of pride; coming from an ordinary civilian family, getting to this point was not easy.
“What is the Enlightenment Plan?” the young woman asked curiously.
“It’s part of the all-citizen Qi Refinement program launched by the Changning Wang Clan in collaboration with the Government Office, providing many children with below-par Bloodline Talent but the prospect of reaching lower-grade Bloodline Talent through the use of Enlightenment Pill with an opportunity.”
“I’ve heard that the Wang family is breeding Purple Crystal Spirit Bees on a large scale in the Southern Frontier and planting related herbs in Spirit Fields in bulk. Now, Wang’s Alchemy Company has begun mass production of the Enlightenment Pill, reducing the comprehensive cost to a subsidized price of two hundred Qian Gold each. And the standard Cultivation Pill has been reduced to a subsidized price of three Qian Gold each.” Being an Alchemy student, Murong Xijuan was quite knowledgeable about Dan medicines and medicinal herbs.
After finishing her explanation, she looked at the young woman with hope and said, “Miss, you’ve just arrived in Changning, right? Are you here to visit relatives or to make a living? I wonder which direction your Bloodline Talent lies in…”
“Combat-oriented,” the young woman replied.
“Then you’re in the wrong place,” Murong Xijuan said, “The professions here are all life-oriented; there’s an Adventurers’ Association nearby that you can consult. However, Miss, I advise you to switch to a life-oriented profession. Pure combat roles, although not low in income, are too dangerous.”
“Somebody has to fight, right? And I can’t do anything else; I only know how to fight and can’t learn farming or blacksmithing.” The young woman smiled, “It’s really interesting, this Changning is even more interesting than what Old Jiang wrote in his letters. This little barbaric Dongqian actually has such fascinating places.”
“Yuling Sister, this place is so boring. Didn’t you say you’d take me to eat something delicious?” The little girl beside her pouted, somewhat listlessly.
“There, there, you little ancestor, I’ll take you for a treat in a bit.” The woman named Yuling responded comfortingly, “I told you before, I came to Dongqian to handle affairs, but you insisted on coming along.
Speaking of which, Yuling took out two Immortal Crystals and said, “Thank you for your polite hospitality and patient explanations. A small connection—I’ll help you with your Enlightenment loan repayment.”
Murong Xijuan’s face flushed bright red in an instant, and she quickly waved her hands, “I can’t accept that, our job does not allow us to take money from guests. Thank you for your kindness, it’ll only take me a few years to pay it off after I officially start working.”
“How interesting,” praised Yuling with added approval, “The customs within the Wang’s Jurisdiction are quite commendable.”
No sooner had she spoken these words.
A commotion suddenly arose at the main entrance, and someone shouted, “The noble young master has arrived.”
Following that, a group of hostesses who had no guests to attend to quickly swarmed around.
Even Murong Xijuan strained her neck with shining eyes to look over there.
A young boy of about eight or nine years old walked through the doorway; despite his young age, he was quite handsome. He had a slightly chubby face with dimples on his cheeks, making him extremely likable at a glance.
However, this little boy walked with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of mature composure. His gaze and mannerisms resembled those of a certain Great Emperor who liked to make incognito visits to his kingdom.
It couldn’t be helped—the Great Emperor was overjoyed at his birth and, despite Wang Shouzhe’s objections, often kept him by his side. Over time, the boy had learned to mimic the emperor’s way of walking to quite a degree.
Grand Eunuch Old Yao followed closely behind him, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings like a devoted attendant.
Moreover, the boy was accompanied by two teenage pages and a small group of protective guards.
“It’s the noble young master!” Murong Xijuan exclaimed excitedly, “My goodness, I never thought I’d see the young master just a few days into this job.”
But the little girl by Yuling’s side scornfully pursed her lips and said, “Who is this? A child no bigger than a fart, yet he puts on quite a show when he goes out, strutting around like he’s something special.”
“Hush~ Little girl, keep it down. The noble young master is a good person,” Murong Xijuan hastily said, “This is Wang Fugui, the young master. He is ranked one hundred and thirteenth in the rich generation of the Wang family, a direct descendant of the current Wang’s long line, an immediate great-grandson of Emperor Zi’an through the maternal line, and the legitimate grandson of the An Duke’s Mansion. He’s now recognized as the most noble young master in all of Da Qian!”
“If it weren’t for the fact that the young master’s father is now in charge of the Special Professional Guild, the young master wouldn’t bother to come here.”
