In the dark night, a white figure wanders on the quiet official road, just like the white impermanence threatening life.
However, under the influence of the blinding technique, this white figure cannot be seen by the naked eyes of mortals.
Soul Caller: Zhou Tongshu.
Life span: one hundred and seven days.
Position: White Soul Envoy.
"Finally, we have recruited one hundred and thirty souls,"
Zhou Tongshu walked on the quiet official road and thought to himself, "A soul is only worth one day of life, but fortunately there are many villages around Yaojiang City, and many people die every day.
Unfortunately, my spiritualism is only useful for those who are about to die. If you take the initiative to kill people and take their souls, you will not be able to summon their souls."
Having served as a soul summoner for so long, especially since the number of souls summoned is directly linked to Zhou Tongshu's lifespan, Zhou Tongshu can't even think about taking it seriously.
As his name suggests, Zhou Tongshu came from a scholarly background.
It's a pity that Zhou Tongshu has been studying for a lifetime, but he still has no reputation as a scholar.
Working in Daqian.
The management of mortals and the management of immortals basically belong to two systems.
Under the constraints of the major sects of Daqian, these two management systems generally do not interfere with each other.
Of course, they say they do not interfere with each other, but in fact, everyone from the imperial court to the state officials is under the control of the Daqian sect.
For example, among the mortal governments in Lanzhou, which one is not secretly controlled by the Xianxia Sect?
It's just that under normal circumstances, it is difficult for mundane things to enter the eyes of immortal cultivators.
The worldly glory and wealth are like passing clouds and are not worth mentioning to the monks who pursue the immortal path.
But it doesn't mean that monks can't control mundane things.
In fact, even an ordinary Qi-training monk can influence the decisions of ordinary officials.
It's just that this kind of thing is strictly prohibited by the Xianxia Sect.
From this perspective, Su Ming's behavior at this time was already challenging the Xianxia Sect's ban.
This is why he acts with extreme caution.
As Zhou Tongshu stepped into Sishui Square in Yaojiang City, his consciousness suddenly fell into darkness.
Surabaya Square.
The courtyard where Su Ming lives.
The last soul-calling puppet quickly entered the courtyard under his control.
After checking the souls stored in the soul-caller's body, a flash of surprise flashed across Su Ming's face.
"There are actually one hundred and thirty-one souls, not bad! Not bad!"
Over the course of a month, after Su Ming continued to improve the Spiritualist's Blood Curse, he finally finalized the Spiritualist Puppet.
The newly formed Spiritualist Puppet, Su Ming modified its Spiritualism.
Because Su Ming thought that if he directly asked the spiritualists to recruit the souls of the dead, in order to complete their mission, they would most likely start a killing spree in the mortal world.
Don't underestimate this. The group of soul summoners Su Ming found were not honest farmers, but some shrewd people in Yaojiang City.
If this kind of person is not restrained, he will definitely give Su Ming trouble.
Su Ming was not afraid of trying to trick him. He was afraid that once this matter attracted the attention of the Xianxia Sect, it would affect his plan to recruit mortal souls in the future.
After all, even in the eyes of monks, seducing one's soul and taking one's life is taboo.
Even though the object of Su Ming's seduction was a dying person, he couldn't help but make people hate him.
Su Ming, who understood this truth, had to repeatedly modify the spirit summoner he created.
After several modifications, the newly formed Spiritualist has the following major characteristics.
First, spiritualism cannot be used on people who have died abnormally, but can only be used on people who have died.
In order to add this restriction, Su Ming greatly weakened the power of spiritualism.
The souls of people who were accidentally or killed cannot be recruited by spiritualism due to interference from external forces.
This also prevents spiritualists from committing evil deeds of killing people and taking souls for the sake of performance.
Second, in addition to the hope of lifespan, Su Ming also added a hierarchy for the spiritualists.
Because many of the soul summoners selected by Su Ming were old and frustrated scholars.
For such people, although life span is a great temptation, in addition to life span, the temptation of power is not low at all.
In other words, most of these people are official fans.
Since they were official fans, Su Ming fulfilled their wishes.
Thus, the hierarchy of spiritualists came into being.
Su Ming temporarily set up a three-level system for soul summoners. From low to high, they are white soul messengers, black soul messengers and the highest judge.
The White Soul Envoy is the most common spirit summoner.
The Black Soul Envoy is equivalent to the superior leader of the White Soul Envoy and directly controls a team of White Soul Envoys.
According to the rules set by Su Ming, there are six white soul envoys in a team, plus the black soul envoys, there are seven people in total.
As for the judge, he is in charge of all the soul summoners in a city and is the immediate boss of the white soul summoners and the black soul summoners.
For example, in Yaojiang City, Su Ming planned to set up a judge.
The strict classification of levels undoubtedly gives spiritualists greater motivation.
Moreover, in Su Ming's view, the allure of power, for these soul-callers who came from poor scholar backgrounds, is no less than lifespan, or even greater.
According to Su Ming's vision, the position of judge will no longer be restricted by lifespan.
It belongs to the official position of supervising and restraining black and white spiritualists on behalf of Su Ming.
certainly.
So far, there are only seven soul summoners in the entire Yaojiang City.
These seven soul summoners were carefully selected by Su Ming, and six of them were from poor scholar backgrounds.
Take out the soul contained in Zhou Tongshu's body and store it in the body of the old version of the soul-calling puppet.
Su Ming thought for a while and immediately put two strengthening points on the soul-calling puppet.
After doing all this, he controlled the spiritual messenger and walked out of Surabaya City.
Just walked out of Surabaya.
Zhou Tongshu regained consciousness again.
After regaining consciousness, Zhou Tongshu could not help but be secretly shocked by the power of this immortal.
At this moment, he finally knew that all the information he read in this new body was true.
The feeling of not being in control of life and death is indeed a bit hard to accept.
But no matter how hard it was to accept, after more than half a month of adaptation, Zhou Tongshu was basically used to it.
What he is thinking about now is to recruit the souls of the dead with all his strength so that he can increase his life span and even become the black soul envoy!
When he thought that after becoming a black soul user, he would have six more soul summoners for him to control.
Zhou Tongshu was full of energy.
After taking the imperial examinations all his life, he could not win an official position. He had never thought about it, but he could get a part-time official position. How could Zhou Tongshu not feel excited and excited.
And in the eyes of Zhou Tongshu now, mortals are extremely weak.
As long as he is willing, he can easily kill no matter whether they are former wealthy businessmen or dignitaries he cannot reach.
At this moment, Zhou Tongshu even had the illusion that he could be compared with the legendary immortal master.
Zhou Tongshu, who was born as a scholar, knew clearly that the immortal behind him was most likely a very powerful immortal master.
This also means that he has found a huge backer.
Zhou Tongshu has been studying for a lifetime, but he still failed to obtain the honors. It is not that he is really incompetent, but that his honors were replaced by others in his early years.
It's a pity that he has no backing. Even if his fame is replaced by others, how much trouble can a humble scholar like him with no background make?
This is also the reason why Zhou Tongshu felt unwilling until his death.
"Zhou Tongshu!"
Su Ming's voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Tongshu's mind.
After more than half a month of investigation, Su Ming finally decided to quickly promote a black soul envoy among the seven soul summoners to manage the soul summoning affairs in Yaojiang City for him.
"Lord Immortal!"
Zhou Tongshu heard the voice in his head and immediately knelt down on the ground, respectful.
Although there was no expression on the face of the paper puppet, it could be seen from his posture that Zhou Tongshu was in awe of Su Ming from the bottom of his heart.
"After this period of investigation, I have decided to appoint you as the Black Soul Envoy."
"ah?"
When Zhou Tongshu heard this, he couldn't believe his ears.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of ecstasy completely overwhelmed him.
Su Ming added perception skills to the newly improved Spiritualist Puppet. Zhou Tongshu lived in the Spiritualist Puppet. Basically, his five senses were not much different from those of ordinary people.
But his power is much stronger than ordinary people.
Originally, Zhou Tongshu was roughly equivalent to a monk at the third level of Qi training, but after Su Ming lost two strengthening points again, his strength was basically close to the fifth level of Qi training.
This was because Su Ming was worried that he would not be able to suppress the White Soul Envoys under his command, so he specially gave him a little boost in strength.
At the same time, Su Ming also informed six other spiritualists of the news.
Regarding Zhou Tongshu's role as the first black soul summoner, some of the other six soul summoners were jealous, some were angry, some were envious, and some were afraid.
But Su Ming didn't care what their emotions were.
Directly order them to come to Yaojiang City to meet their immediate boss, Zhou Tongshu.
Take advantage of the break when other spiritualists are on their way.
Su Ming continued to write to Zhou Tong: "Although Yaojiang City currently only has seven of you soul summoners, with the population of Yaojiang City and its surrounding towns and villages, there will definitely be more than just seven of you soul summoners in the future.
Zhou Tongshu, you should understand this."
"My subordinate understands!"
Zhou Tongshu knelt on the ground, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Although I have never been involved in officialdom, I have been studying for a lifetime, so I have heard about officialdom.
Of course Zhou Tongshu knew the meaning of Su Ming's words.
In the future, Yaojiang City will also absorb a large number of new spiritualists. When there are enough spiritualists in Yaojiang City in the future, there will definitely be a judge to manage these spiritualists!
What is this called?
The feudal official!
No wonder Zhou Tongshu was so excited.
Looking at the excited Zhou Tongshu, Su Ming didn't understand that Zhou Tongshu, a dead person, was still so persistent in his desire for power.
Shaking his head, Su Ming said: "I will give you another task, to find a suitable candidate for the soul summoner for me."
"I will obey the instructions of the Supreme Immortal!"
Zhou Tongshu quickly assumed the role of the Black Soul Envoy.
During the conversation between the two people.
Six ghostly figures quickly approached Yaojiang City, and the towering city walls could not stop the six spirit summoners.
I saw them holding on to the cracks in the city bricks, and with a few clicks of strength, they easily crossed the city wall.
This strength is ordinary in the eyes of monks, but in the eyes of mortals, it is a magical method.
You know, the walls of Yaojiang City are nearly six or seven feet high.
As the six white soul envoys came to visit Zhou Tongshu, Su Ming no longer cared about how Zhou Tongshu arranged for them to recruit more qualified souls.
Anyway, Su Ming has already explained that as long as the soul of a diligent and responsible farmer is needed.
Other souls with special skills can also be recruited. As for the rice bugs who do nothing but work, Su Ming does not want them.
After summoning souls for so long, not only Zhou Tongshu, but other soul summoners were also very clear about Su Ming's requirements.
This is also the reason why they work so hard and still can't recruit enough souls.
Because Su Ming has requirements for souls, and he doesn't just accept all garbage.
The next day.
Su Ming, who had made initial arrangements in Yaojiang City, was preparing to leave the city.
After hearing the news, Gong Xiaocai, who had lived here for a month, was quite reluctant to leave.
Looking at Gong Xiaocai who turned around three times, Su Ming smiled and consoled her: "Don't be reluctant to leave, there will be a chance to come back in the future."
"real?"
When Gong Xiaocai heard this, her little face suddenly showed an expression of surprise.
"When did I lie to you?"
"Uh-huh."
Gong Xiaocai nodded vigorously.
After a stick of incense.
Su Ming and the two took the spirit boat and slowly sailed away from the port terminal.
At this time, Su Ming's voice sounded in Zhou Tongshu's mind again.
"I'm leaving. You have to take care of things for me. Yaojiang City will be handed over to you for the time being."
Hear this.
Zhou Tongshu, who was newly promoted to the Black Soul Envoy, immediately expressed his stance: "Sir, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the Shangxian!"
Su Ming was noncommittal about Zhou Tongshu's guarantee.
No matter whether they can complete the achievements set by Su Ming or not, life span is always a sharp knife hanging over their heads.
If you cannot complete the soul-calling mission set by Su Ming on time.
Spiritualist puppets will automatically expel their souls from their bodies.
Not to mention mortals, even low-level monks will dissipate quickly when their souls are exposed to the air after losing their bodies.
This is also the reason why Su Ming can set a life span for them.
Take care of everything.
Su Ming drove the spirit boat and headed straight for Tianshu Island.
Tianshu Island is a long way from here. Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai took turns driving the boat on the road for seven or eight days before they saw Tianshu Island looming in sight.
Even after watching Tianshu Island countless times.
Su Ming was still amazed when he saw it again.
The area of Tianshu Island is really vast.
Unfortunately, this island, which is as big as a continent, only has a few million monks living here.
Except for Tianshu Daofang City and Yaoyuan Taoist Temple, most other places have not been developed much and are still in a relatively primitive state.
This is also the reason why Luo Xiao said that Su Ming could not recruit Ling Zhifu.
Even if Lingzhi's father really wants to be a tenant, it is not good to assign a tenant to Xianxia on Tianshu Island. Why should he be a tenant to an unknown casual cultivator?
Not to mention whether Su Ming can open up a fairy island, even if it is successful, how can he ensure the safety of the fairy island?
Unless those spiritual cultivators are out of their minds, they would choose to farm on Su Ming's fairy island.
Day eight.
Su Ming, who had been busy for nearly two months, finally rushed back to Yaoyuan Taoist Temple.
As soon as Su Ming returned to the Taoist Academy, he heard a piece of news that made a lot of noise.
"You said our Taoist temple is going to destroy Lan Yu Island?"
Su Ming looked at Luo Xiao in surprise.
"Yes, don't you know?"
Luo Xiao looked at Su Ming speechlessly, "Our genius alchemist this time is dead."
