What If I Can't Die?

Great Saint Qian He said matter-of-factly.

Song Shi agreed and muttered, "I originally wanted you to compensate me, but seeing how impartial you are and how nice your words are, forget it."

The corners of the three Palace Masters' mouths twitched. Good lord, you're really not polite. Do you still have the cheek to ask for compensation?

"It's not impossible for you to receive compensation. Are you interested in joining us? If you join my Heaven Patrolling Palace, compensation will naturally be given."

Great Saint Chaos's words were shocking. He had actually personally invited Song Shi.

"What kind of treatment will I be given?"

Song Shi was not interested in joining any faction, but since he had just arrived, he had to find a place to stay. Therefore, he did not mind staying for the time being.

"You will be treated normally. Since you just came here, don't tell me you want to be all alone?"

Great Saint Chaos did not give Song Shi any special treatment, but he still offered compensation. "As for compensation, I can give you a sufficient portion of the Mortal Cleansing Pills. It will allow you to quickly integrate into the laws of the Mystic Spirit Realm and prevent you from being struck by lightning."

"Being struck by lightning?"

Song Shi could not help but think of the lightning tribulation he had encountered when he first entered the Heavenly Demon Realm.

"You still don't know, right? The rules of different realms are different. Even if the lower realm you're in was once a subsidiary realm of the Mystic Spirit Realm, the rules of different realms are ultimately different. Once you enter the Mystic Spirit Realm, you will definitely be struck by lightning because of the difference in aura until the aura on your body is cleansed."

Great Saint Chaos said indifferently, "Every ascender who doesn't want to be struck to death by lightning has to consume enough Mortal Cleansing Pills to wash away the external aura on their bodies and transform as soon as possible."

Song Shi was enlightened. He had experienced it before and knew that the other party was not exaggerating, but he was not afraid of being struck to death by lightning.

"Can you not give me the Mortal Cleansing Pills and give me spirit stones and pills to increase my cultivation level instead?" Song Shi asked.

"What?"

Great Saint Chaos did not understand, "These things are in the daily necessities provided. What are you in a hurry to use them for?"

"I want to recover my Dharma Power as soon as possible. In addition, I'm staying here and haven't entered the Mystic Spirit Realm. I'm not in a hurry to get the Mortal Cleansing Pills."

Song Shi could not say that he wanted to be struck by lightning. If he did, people would think that he was mentally ill.

"That's true, but you still have to go to the Mystic Spirit Realm in the end. I'll keep the Mortal Cleansing Pills for you. I can give you more spirit stones and pills in advance and deduct them from the salary in the future."

Great Saint Chaos nodded. He did not doubt why Song Shi did not want the Mortal Cleansing Pills first. "Now, give me a definite answer. Are you willing to join the Heaven Patrolling Palace?"

"No problem, but I can't guarantee that I won't leave in the future."

Song Shi warned in advance.

"Of course, if you want to leave, you just have to satisfy a certain condition. It's not like I'm tying you up here for the rest of your life."

Great Saint Chaos nodded and looked at the Vajra Saint, "He will work under you. Arrange for him to be a fourth-grade Heaven Patrolling Guard."

"Yes, Palace Master."

The Vajra Saint accepted the order.

Great Saint Starsong and Great Saint Qian He looked at each other, feeling a little regretful.

Actually, they were also interested in a talented person like Song Shi. However, this person had been discovered by the Heaven Patrolling Palace, so it was not appropriate for them to 'snatch' him away.

"Arrange for him to stay. When his Dharma Power recovers, bring him to patrol. Recently, because of the matter in the Demon Refinement Path, the patrolling mission has been relatively heavy."

Great Saint Chaos waved his hand.

"Little Song, follow me."

The Vajra Saint smiled at Song Shi and turned to lead the way.

Song Shi did not say anything else and followed him out of the hall.

"Congratulations, Brother Chaos. With another genius, there might be a powerhouse in the future."

Great Saint Qian He smiled and cupped his hands.

"We will see, he's quite arrogant. He might cause trouble in the future. I asked him to stay because ascenders have to come here to complete missions to obtain the Mortal Cleansing Pills."

Great Saint Chaos shook his head.

The Vajra Saint, who had walked out of the hall, also said to Song Shi, "You agreed, right? This is because even if you don't join our Heaven Patrolling Palace, if you want to obtain the Mortal Cleansing Pills, you have to make enough contributions to the Mystic Spirit Palace."

"There's such a thing?"

Song Shi was surprised. He did not know.

"Of course. Could it be that the Mortal Cleansing Pills are provided for free to you ascenders?"

Vajra Saint pursed his lips. "If not for your extraordinary talent and the fact that you were valued by the Palace Master, you would have to work here for a hundred years to obtain enough Mortal Cleansing Pills."

"Oh, then I have to thank the Palace Master."

Song Shi smiled and could not help but look at the people outside who were curious about why he was fine. "Are they mostly ascenders?"

"How can there be so many? Only a small portion of them are. Their talent is not bad in the lower realm. They're basically geniuses who say they have Divine Bodies, but they're quite ordinary here. A few of the slightly stronger factions in my Mystic Spirit Realm don't have Divine Bodies. It's also quite common to see more powerful Saint Bodies."

Vajra Saint said confidently, "If not for your Primordial Saint Body being ranked at the top among the many Saint Bodies and your body being very powerful, how could you have received such treatment?"

Song Shi seemed to be deep in thought as he picked up on something.

"Looks like the Mystic Spirit Realm is similar to the Heavenly Demon Realm. Bloodlines are respected. Powerful bloodlines naturally have an advantage."

The Vajra Saint nodded, "That's right. Our world is indeed similar to the situation in the Heavenly Demon Realm. It uses race and bloodline as the foundation to carry on the inheritance. It's the same for all races."

"…"

Song Shi was speechless. "If someone with average talent wants to stand out, I'm afraid it'll be extremely difficult."

"That's right. The worse one's talent is, the harder it is to break through. Some geniuses are born with a very high upper and lower limit, unlike me. I've basically reached my limit of becoming a Saint. It's difficult to advance further."

The Vajra Saint sighed and thought of his talented great-grandson, "My great-grandson originally had the chance to inherit my mantle and become the second Saint of my family. Now that he has been devoured by the Demon Refinement Path and his fate is unknown, I'm really angry."

"Why are you counting on your descendant? If you work hard yourself, your family will instantly benefit."

Song Shi comforted.

"Sigh, I want to reach the Fusion Realm, but it's not that easy."

The Vajra Saint smiled bitterly, "To be honest, my talent is very ordinary. I was an ordinary body refinement cultivator to begin with. I did manual labor for others. If not for the fact that I accidentally obtained a Saint-grade cultivation technique, and was able to endure hardships myself, I wouldn't have been able to reach where I am today."

"I admire people like you who relied on your own hard work to improve. Those who relied on their bloodlines are nothing. Isn't it because of the benefits left behind by their ancestors?"

Song Shi praised. In fact, he was even more shameless than those who relied on their bloodlines. He was cheating.

"Little Song is right."

The Vajra Saint smiled and felt much better, "Let's go. I'll bring you to where you live. You lack spirit stones and medicinal pills, right? I'll lend you some first. Remember to return them to me when you give them to me."

Song Shi's words pulled the two of them closer. The Vajra Saint generously took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Song Shi. "You can take one now to recover some Dharma Power. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to walk here."

"Thank you!"

After thanking him, Song Shi took the pill and opened it solemnly.

This was the first time he cared so much about this thing. If his Dharma Power was not obtained through refreshing after death, he could only cultivate normally.

He opened the bottle and took out a pill. After eating one, the pill turned into pure energy and spread, causing Song Shi's Dharma Power recovery speed to suddenly increase.

Song Shi's body lit up as Dharma Power fluctuations appeared. He naturally floated up and regained his ability to fly.

"Young friend, over here."

Seeing that Song Shi could fly, the Vajra Saint also flew up and flew towards a row of houses.

"Our Heaven Patrolling Palace usually only has thirty thousand cultivators stationed here. It's divided into ten patrol teams. Each team is divided into ten teams. The positions are divided into Great Commander and Commander ranks. Basically, they are held by Great Saints and cultivators at Saint realm. The lowest cultivation level of the normal Patrolling Guards is the Nascent Soul realm, and most of them are at the Soul Transformation realm. The internal treatment is divided into nine grades. Your fourth-grade is already the best rank below the Saint realm. Every month, you will receive one thousand high-grade spirit stones and a bottle of fifth-grade medicinal pills. There will also be a special reward for completing missions."

As he flew, he introduced the situation to Song Shi. He listened along the way and arrived at the place where he was about to stay.

There were rows of courtyards here. They weren't big, but they all had Array Formations. The interior environment was beautiful, and the Spiritual Qi was abundant. It was completely enough for him to cultivate.

This was the place that Song Shi wanted. Coupled with the pills, he was confident that he could quickly increase his cultivation level.

"Old Tang, come out, there's something to do."

When they landed, the Vajra Saint shouted somewhere.

Swoosh!

A gray-robed elder who was probably the manager of this residence appeared. He glanced at Song Shi and said, "Brother Vajra, is this a newcomer? He looks pretty good."

"Of course, the Palace Masters have taken a fancy to him. Quickly find an empty courtyard for him to stay in."

The Vajra Saint urged and said to Song Shi, "Stay here first. I'll go make an identity token for you. You can rest for a month. Patrol with us after you've settled down."
