A few minutes later, Yan Hong ran back with a piece of deed paper and a magic pen.
The lowest-level deed paper contains five spiritual stones, and the lowest-level spiritual pen contains one spiritual stone. All their belongings are gone.
Yan Hong lay on the dining table and wrote furiously, and soon a "letter of submission" took shape under his pen.
[Nomination certificate: brotherhood; trusting each other in life and death, helping each other in good and bad times; relying on each other in blessings and misfortunes, supporting each other in adversity...]
Of course, these are all beautiful nonsense, because in the contract, these requirements are stated to be individual.
Jiang Li and Yan Hong signed at the top as petitioners, and then went there to sign others as a vote.
In addition to not deliberately letting them die, Yan Hong requires those who submit their names to serve them unconditionally for eighteen months.
Although this is also exploitation and oppression, it is undoubtedly much better than two years of forced labor.
First of all, the time is half a year shorter, and then even if Yan Hongzhen takes away all their monthly gifts, they can still cultivate immortality.
No matter what, it is much better than wasting two years in vain.
"Well, there is nothing wrong with the contract, but when it comes to choosing candidates, there are good and bad ones among low-grade spiritual roots. I still remember a few names, and I can give priority to them later."
They are both low-grade spiritual roots. The more full the spirit detection ball is, the better the natural talent will be. Since you have to choose, you have to choose something good.
"I know, just wait for my good news."
After saying that, Yan Hong ran out again.
This time he went out for a longer time. While waiting, Jiang Li also found a table to sit down. Soon it turned out that many undecided preparatory disciples had gathered around and started chatting enthusiastically.
In particular, Yan Fengyue and a few pretty girls surrounded him and said "Brother Jiang" to his left and "Brother Jiang" to his right, which made his ears feel quite comfortable.
It is impossible for these people to really cling to each other and just want to hug each other for warmth, but at this time, it is good to have a strong momentum.
Several more teams were brought in, and the spacious lounge quickly became more and more lively.
In particular, a group of weather-beaten boys and girls dressed in coarse linen and linen, who were obviously one or two years older than them, were brought in.
These should be the same group of children who were left to do forced labor two years ago.
They huddled in the corner of the lounge like a flock of quails, not daring to speak loudly or eat more food, and their eyes lacked the curiosity and vitality of children.
Obviously the number of people was the largest, probably reaching thousands, but they were surprisingly quiet, which was in sharp contrast to the lively cliques here.
This is a group of people who have been severely beaten by society and whose edges have been smoothed by the cruel world. Even if they become members of the world of immortality in the future, they will still be the working people at the bottom.
Speaking of which, I was probably such a social beast in my previous life.
Wherever there are people, there will be classes, and where there are classes, there will be exploitation. Sure enough, things like this will never change anywhere.
If you want to get rid of the fate of being exploited, there is only one way, and that is to exploit others...
Yan Hong's plan is cruel primitive accumulation of capital, the first step to achieve class transcendence.
Of course, in this world with fairies, demons, gods and ghosts, everything depends on strength. If you don't have enough power to protect you, no matter how many spiritual stones you earn, it's just rootless duckweed.
Some time later, when Fuzhong appeared again and organized everyone to set off again, Yan Hong finally arrived late.
Behind him, there were nineteen preparatory disciples who seemed to have survived the disaster, including ten males and nine females.
"This is my brother Jiang Li, don't call me yet!"
"Brother Jiang Li!"
Yan Hong reprimanded him sternly. Nineteen and the young man bowed to Jiang Li. They bent ninety degrees and did not wait for an answer. They dared not straighten up.
Jiang Li looked at Yan Hong in surprise. He didn't expect this fat man to have such ability. Could it be that he was also a time traveler? Did he study human resources management in his previous life?
Yan Hong raised his eyebrows proudly and came over to Jiang Li to whisper a few words, and then handed the contract paper with the letter of submission to Jiang Li for safekeeping.
It turns out that this guy came back so late to strike while the iron was hot and provide psychological counseling (brainwashing) to these nineteen people.
Judging from the order and prohibition, the effect of psychological counseling is really good.
"Well, get up."
It wasn't until Jiang Li spoke that they dared to stand up straight, but they still lowered their heads and dared not look directly at Jiang Li and Yan Hong in front of them.
"Come on board with us first."
The venue for the Shengxian Conference was not in the Shengxian Pavilion, because a prosperous mortal city was built around this Shengxian Pavilion.
Most monks don't like the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, so the venue for the annual Shengxian Conference is set on an island in the middle of the lake behind the Shengxian Pavilion.
only...
"Jiang Li, are you sure this thing is a boat and that place in front is a lake?"
Yan Hong pulled Jiang Li and asked softly. After all, he was followed by a younger brother, and the elder brother must not reveal his identity.
"Ahem, what a fuss, isn't it just a little bigger? There's nothing strange about it."
Jiang Li looked at the boat, which was at least twenty meters high, and the lake with rolling waves as far as the eye could see, and calmly got on the boat.
In fact, he had already noticed that the area of this world seemed to be much larger than the earth in his previous life, and everything seemed to be magnified.
Nowadays, a lake has a Mediterranean pattern, which is quite reasonable, isn’t it?
There are more than 2,000 people present. It's quite reasonable that one ship can fit them all, isn't it?
According to the information Yan Hong got from Fuzhong, this voyage will only last for one day and will arrive at the island in the middle of the lake at this time tomorrow.
Jiang Li had observed that although the ship was huge, it seemed to have used some special technology, and its sailing speed was not slow at all. It still had to sail for a day and a night, and the lake was indeed astonishingly big.
Taking advantage of Yan Hong's superior spiritual roots, they managed to get a large and comfortable room.
Jiang Li summoned nineteen of his subordinates and, following Yan Hong, gave them psychological counseling again.
"Don't worry, Yan Hong and I are not bad people. Don't worry too much in the future. Just follow us and work hard."
"Look at you, and then look at us. We are a young and energetic group, and we will only get better and better in the future. As long as you listen to the instructions now and are willing to endure hardships, and when the organization becomes bigger and stronger, you will be the organization.
As the first batch of heroes, the organization will never treat you badly."
"Now we are strict with you and let you work hard,
This is not for us, but for all of you, so that we can all strive to become immortals and live forever. Tell me, do you want to become immortals?"
Men: "Think!"
"Do you want to live forever?"
Men: "Think!"
"Okay! You are all great. I don't value qualifications or abilities, I value attitude!"
"Tell me your attitude!"
Men: "Work hard, work hard!" Bang bang bang!
"Show me your determination!"
Men: "Strive, fight, fight!" Bang bang bang!
When they went out later, the faces of the nineteen people were all red and swollen, but no one knew why their faces were filled with smiles and longing for the future.
