Chapter 161: Merit as bait, recruitment conference

"You are right. The Six Paths of Reincarnation has just been established. It is indeed necessary to recruit some members. Otherwise, with the temperament of these creatures in the eighteenth level of the Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will definitely be in chaos. When the time comes, it will be bad if they have good intentions and do bad things."

Hou Tu expressed great recognition of Zhao Gongming's forward-looking attitude.

You must know that the remaining souls in the entire eighteenth level of the Netherworld Sea have been accumulated since the beginning of the Heaven Calamity. They are the destination of all living beings under Daluo Jinxian. The number is terrifying and simply unbelievable.

The remnant souls in the first level alone could probably completely overwhelm the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Therefore, in addition to recruiting members to serve in the underworld, it is also necessary to release the reincarnation quotas in batches. Only in a step-by-step manner can the underworld avoid chaos.

After Zhao Gongming, Taoist Mosquito, and Hou Tu discussed for a long time in front of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, they came up with a very detailed plan.

In the first batch, it is planned to recruit 1,000 staff for the Underworld Department, 1,000 staff for the Judgment Department, and another 1,000 staff for the Reincarnation Department.

In addition to this, recruit another 5,000 soul arresters, and recruit another 100,000 ghost servants responsible for escorting the ghosts back and forth. In total, there will be more than 100,000 people.

This number may seem huge, but for the huge Eighteenth Level Netherworld Sea, it is actually not worth mentioning.

The reason for recruiting so many people in the first batch is to see if this system can operate smoothly.

After discussing the released positions, the natural next step is to discuss the salary.

Hou Tu pondered for a while, with a troubled expression on his face, "I also made some accumulation when I was in Buzhou Mountain, but now."

Houtu has been ostensibly broken up by the Wu clan, and the accumulated resources naturally do not belong to Houtu.

Even a saint cannot create something out of nothing, so Hou Tu is now penniless.

The mosquito Taoist hesitated for a long time, "Master, there is still some accumulation around the little mosquito, do you want it?"

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "With your little accumulation, how can you possibly pay salaries to hundreds of thousands of people at the same time? As for the remuneration, I have already thought about it."

"What?"

Hou Tu and Taoist Mosquito asked questions at the same time.

"Using merit to offset the reward, I believe they must be very willing."

"Merit?"

Houtu, Taoist Mosquito was immediately stunned. There is no problem in distributing rewards with merit.

Merits are extremely precious things to hundreds of millions of monks throughout history.

Not to mention ordinary monks, even great monks, quasi-sage majors, and even high-ranking saints all need merit.

Ordinary monks, if they want to obtain merit, they must have the most sincere heart in order to cause the heavenly dao to vibrate and bring down merit.

However, as monks practice and pursue the great path, there is indispensable intrigue and conspiracy. If you want to be sincere, it is almost impossible.

And if you are intentional, the way of heaven will not send you any merit at all.

This makes it very difficult for monks in the ancient times to obtain merit.

As long as they serve in the underworld, they can gain merit. They feel that no normal person would refuse such a good thing.

But the key point is that merit cannot be traded.

The merits of heaven are all imprinted, and whoever belongs to them belongs to them.

They cannot trade, transfer, or misappropriate each other. Otherwise, if the upper cultivators coerce and lure the lower cultivators to seize the merits, wouldn’t it be a complete mess?

"Master, it seems that merit cannot be traded."

After holding it in for a long time, Taoist Mosquito spoke first.

"So this is what you are worried about."

Zhao Gongming smiled slightly and said, "It is true that merit cannot be traded, but I have the treasure money."

He turned his palm over, and a golden copper coin appeared in his palm.

The treasure-dropping money is extremely mysterious. It can not only drop all the treasures in the world, but also has the properties of currency, encompassing all things in the world.

And merit is also in all things, so with the power of treasured money, merit can be monetized and traded.

Taoist Mosquito could feel the extremely rich spiritual aura on Luobao Money and knew that it was a treasure, but there were still some questions on his face, "Can such a gadget really turn merit into currency?"

As soon as Zhao Gongming had an idea, a golden wheel of merit appeared behind his back, extremely round and golden.

Then, he activated Luobao Money, and soon, a strong suction force came from Luobao Money.

Behind Zhao Gongming, the golden wheel of merit dimmed slightly, as if a trace of the merit inside had been extracted out of thin air, and all of it was lost in the treasured money.

The next moment, Zhao Gongming slapped the Luobao Money, and two golden coins flew out from the Luobao Money, landing on Mosquito Taoist and Houtu respectively.

"Try sucking on it."

Taoist Mosquito suddenly put his sharp tone into the golden coins.

After a while, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Gongming in disbelief, "Master, this, this is true!"

On the side, Hou Tu’s beautiful eyes twinkled with brilliance, “If you can use merit as reward, then many people will definitely come.”

But Taoist Mosquito showed confusion on his face again, "Master, the rewards of hundreds of thousands of people are all settled with merit. Where does that merit come from?"

Zhao Gongming said speechlessly, "When living beings enter the six realms of reincarnation and are reincarnated, the karma of heaven and earth will be eliminated, and heaven will definitely send down merit."

Taoist Mosquito thought for a moment, "How could I have forgotten this?"

Soon, under the instructions of Zhao Gongming and Hou Tu, Taoist Mosquito, as the emperor of Fengdu, together with the book of life and death and the judge's pen, two treasures that suppressed the luck of the underworld, officially announced the prehistoric period.

"The six reincarnations are just beginning to appear, and the underworld is just beginning to be established. We are short of manpower. We want to recruit one thousand office staff for the Yincao Division, one thousand office staff for the Judge Division, another one thousand office staff for the Reincarnation Division, another five thousand soul arresters, and another one hundred thousand ghost messengers responsible for escorting the ghosts back and forth. All the cultivators who come to sign up and successfully pass the assessment will be paid by merit."

"What? The underworld wants to recruit staff. Who would be willing to go to such a remote place with sparse spiritual energy?"

"Wait, take a closer look at the announcement issued by the Emperor Fengdu of the underworld. The reward for the position is the merit of the heaven."

"What, the merit of the heaven, is it true?"

The man was shocked. He had been in the prehistoric world for countless thousands of years, and he had never heard of merit as a reward.

You must know that in the prehistoric world, except for a small number of talented and top-level creatures, most cultivators need merit when they practice to a certain level.

For example, if Taiyi Jinxian wants to break through to Daluo Jinxian, in addition to his own accumulation, sufficient Taoism, and 10% understanding of the power of the law, there are also certain requirements for the merits of the heavenly way.

If you don't have enough merits, no matter how hard you practice, you can't prove the way.

So merits have become something that everyone is eager to get.

Of course, the heavenly way has limitations, and merits cannot be traded with each other.

So soon, countless voices of doubt rose in the prehistoric world.
