Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 423 - 416: Ding Huan’s Confusion

Ding Huan walked back to the Immortal Essence Power Testing Magic Artifact.

The test of Immortal Essence Power entailed unleashing one's full force onto the Immortal Essence Ball within the testing Magical Treasure, which could emit a brilliant column of elemental power.

Ding Huan had swept his Divine Will previously, noting that the highest any cultivator had reached before was six feet, and no one had passed.

Now, Ding Huan was in a dilemma—was it beyond ten feet or twenty feet? And how much Immortal Essence Power should he use to test?

"Wait, did you say your name was Zhang San?" The Da Yi Immortal assessing the materials finally came to his senses and called out to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan immediately stepped down from the Immortal Essence Power testing Magical Treasure, and approached the interviewer, "Yes, senior, please guide me."

"You need to test the strength of your Divine Will again," the interviewer instructed, pointing to the Magical Treasure Ding Huan had just used, signaling him to retest.

Reluctantly, Ding Huan realized that the interviewer had not observed his initial test, and only asked for a retest after being surprised by the results.

Walking back to the Divine Will testing area, Ding Huan's Divine Will once again pierced into the Ring of Divine Will Testing.

It still almost broke through the sixth layer, lingering between the fifth and sixth layers.

"Immortal Sense fifth-level peak, very good. Zhang San, you are employed," the Da Yi Immoral expressed his satisfaction.

For many days, it was the first time he had seen a Loose Cultivator at the peak of the fifth level Immortal Sense—a real talent.

As for whether he was strong in combat, it didn't matter, this 'Zhang San' was definitely someone the Young Master would like.

"Thank you, senior. May I ask where should I wait now?" Ding Huan was very joyful, as he himself was not sure what score for Immortal Essence Power would be satisfactory, yet he had just been employed.

The Da Yi Immortal with brown hair handed Ding Huan a hand token: "Go to the back and wait for a while; we are leaving tonight."

Ding Huan quickly picked up the hand token, opened a Defense Array at the back, and discovered that there were already eight people waiting.

The cultivation levels of these eight ranged from Early-stage Profound Immortal to Late-stage Profound Immortal.

Ding Huan guessed these eight were likely recruited by the Ancient Road Immortal Transport, just like him.

It seemed that the Da Yi Immortals did not regard this job highly, hence none came to apply.

After observing with his Divine Will, Ding Huan felt somewhat puzzled.

Even if the Da Yi Immortals disdained this job and did not come to apply, wasn't the combat power of the people here a bit too weak?

Escorts naturally benefitted from stronger cultivation levels. Yet, so many Profound Immortals were eliminated, and there were those in the early stage of Golden Immortal among the recruited.

Those few Profound Immortals didn't seem to possess astonishing combat abilities either.

Even he himself only had his Divine Will tested, without needing to test his Immortal Essence Power.

Was this irregular, or was he simply unaware of the rules and methods of Immortal Realm escorts?

"What is your name, Dao friend?" An old man with white hair and beard greeted Ding Huan with a warm smile as he approached.

Ding Huan thought to himself that the recruitment by the Ancient Road Immortal Transport obviously did not discriminate by age.

His Divine Will landed on the old man, and Ding Huan thought to himself how such a person, whose Daoist Rhythm was clearly fading and who had weak Divine Will and an old age, could be favored by the brown-haired Da Yi Immortal?

"Oh, Zhang San," Ding Huan replied.

The old man chuckled, "I'm Hu Bujiu, a Third-level Array Master. Brother Zhang San, if you have any problems related to Arrays, feel free to ask me."

"Thank you very much," Ding Huan finally understood; it was because the other party was a Third-level Array Master.

It seemed this time the Ancient Road Immortal Transport had recruited people who had special skills in various areas, such as his expertise in Divine Will.

Ding Huan didn't quite understand how this related to escort duties and didn't bother to delve deeper, as he was merely using this opportunity to leave Eternal Immortal Dao City.

"How did you get in?" Hu Bujiu asked Ding Huan.

Ding Huan lowered his voice, "The interviewer senior is my relative; it was just a matter of a word."

"Ah..." Hu Bujiu looked at Ding Huan in shock.

Being a relative of a Da Yi Immortal meant a limitless future.

Perhaps because Ding Huan was a relative of the Da Yi Immortal, after seeing Ding Huan not very inclined to chat, Hu Bujiu did not dare to disturb him further, and just sat beside Ding Huan, yet inwardly, he was determined to forge a good relationship with him.

Ding Huan waited for two hours until a young woman, dressed flamboyantly, came in, followed by the interviewing Da Yi Immortal with brown hair who also walked in.

Behind them was a young man in the Early-stage Profound Immortal, who squinted as if deep in thought and did not scan the room upon entering.

Everyone perked up, it seemed they were about to departure.

The brown-haired Da Yi Immortal spoke loudly, "Thank you all for valuing the Ancient Road Immortal Transport. I am in charge of this Immortal Transport. My name is Hu Xiangyang, Steward of the Ancient Road Immortal Transport, and I will be the Escort Immortal for this cargo shipment."

Hu Xiangyang being the Escort Immortal was a role Ding Huan had heard of; the Cultivation World also needed to transport goods.

Thus, organizations like the Immortal Transport naturally emerged, equivalent to conventional escort services.

Each escort operation had a leader, known as the Escort Immortal.

Now, as the Escort Immortal was Hu Xiangyang, he was responsible for recruiting those who would join him in escorting the cargo. In the terms of the secular world, they were his team.

Ding Huan couldn't understand why the Ancient Road Immortal Transport's hand token wasn't his own and why they had to hire temporarily.

This didn't make sense at all; normally, the hand token in Immortal Transport missions was always one's own people, with external hires being at most one or two. But this time, they had recruited ten, which was truly uncommon.

"Please be assured, gentle cultivators, so long as the deliveries are completed, your rewards will not be meager. Each one of you will receive at least fifty thousand Low Grade Immortal Crystals and one Low-Grade Immortal Artifact.

Those who contribute outstandingly will receive double the reward, and even awarding a Da Yi Pill is nothing extraordinary..."

Upon hearing about the Da Yi Pill reward, everyone except Ding Huan whispered among themselves.

This group was all Loose Cultivators, whose desire for a single Da Yi Pill was greater than anyone else's.

"Gentle cultivators, our Ancient Road Immortal Transport is also a branch of the Ancient Road Commerce, just like the Ancient Road Trading Building. You all know the reputation of the Ancient Road Trading Building, and it certainly wouldn't deceive you."

The words of Hu Xiangyang lifted everyone's spirits; Ding Huan, too, forced himself to appear spirited.

Nevertheless, he felt there was something insincere about what Hu Xiangyang had said.

Hu Xiangyang was quite pleased with everyone's response, "For this delivery, I will be the Hu Biao Immortal, and Shi Nuozhou will be the leader of our squad, directly accountable to me."

At that moment, a man in the Late-stage Profound Immortal level stood up, nodded to Ding Huan and others, then sat down again.

Hu Xiangyang's expression suddenly turned serious, "You all know the rules. Anyone who joins our delivery team and shows any cowardice or flees will be killed without mercy.

If there are no issues, we shall depart now."

Naturally, everyone had no objections.

Ding Huan checked his appearance to ensure his Daoist Rhythm breathed in sync with his true self, showing no signs of mismatch that should allow him to blend in without issues.

If he were to be discovered at the city gate, he would just flee.

Hu Xiangyang acted decisively, quickly distributing the uniform robes of the Ancient Road Immortal Transport once everyone was ready.

Ding Huan, of course, changed into his robe as well.

It was also a stance; if those intent on raiding saw the robes of the Ancient Road Immortal Transport and still dared to attack openly, then they should await the endless retaliation from the Ancient Road Commerce.

The Ancient Road Commerce had the strength for this; their trading buildings were well-known and influential across the entire Ancient Immortal Domain.

After leaving the Ancient Road Immortal Transport building with Hu Xiangyang, Ding Huan swept his Divine Will over everyone.

He didn't even skip over Hu Xiangyang.

With the strength and refinement of his Divine Will, no one here could detect his probing.

Eventually, Ding Huan's Divine Will settled on a young man who had followed Hu Xiangyang in last and had not spoken a word.

But Ding Huan suspected that the real Red Dart was on this young man, not on Hu Xiangyang.

This was purely an intuition from frequently using the Big Calculation Skill.

"Brother Zhang San, you look quite tense, but there's really no need," Hu Bujiu came to Ding Huan's side, patted him on the arm, and comforted him with a smile.

After speaking, he lowered his voice, "Brother Zhang San, you were just fooling me earlier, weren't you? You're definitely not a relative of the Hu Biao Immortal."

Ding Huan helplessly said, "I'm indeed not his relative, but my nervousness is real."

"Brother Zhang San, let me tell you the truth, our mission this time is merely accompanying the escort. Do you think there really will be valuable items for us to escort? Hehe."

This time Hu Bujiu transmitted his voice to Ding Huan, making it all mysterious.

Ding Huan speechlessly glanced at Hu Bujiu; at least two people had overheard his telepathic transmission, one of which was Hu Xiangyang.

While Hu Bujiu was transmitting, Hu Xiangyang's Divine Will swept over Hu Bujiu's telepathic Domain.

Another was the enchanting woman who came in later; her Divine Will had also infiltrated Hu Bujiu's telepathic Domain.

"Don't talk nonsense; even a Da Yi Immortal forebear has undertaken duties as a Hu Biao Immortal, so you must take it seriously and not be careless," Ding Huan transmitted seriously to Hu Bujiu.

His telepathic Domain wasn't even as good as Hu Bujiu's, naturally allowing Hu Xiangyang and that enchanting woman to thoroughly eavesdrop.

As Ding Huan didn't want to continue the discussion, he suddenly heard the enchanting woman's voice in his ear, "Little brother, what Hu Bujiu said was true, y'know. We're just accompanying the envoy; the high-value goods aren't here."

Ding Huan deliberately changed his expression; he was inwardly shocked that this woman could transmit to Hu Xiangyang without being detected.

This was a skilled cultivator, and although her cultivation seemed to be only in the Mid-stage Profound Immortal level, it was formidable.

Ding Huan's expression changed, naturally not escaping the enchanting woman's Divine Will. She transmitted into Ding Huan's ear, giggling, "Little brother, my name is Ye Meier; don't be afraid, sister will help you if anything arises."

Ding Huan then downcast his eyes and followed the team silently, ignoring this Ye Meier.

The group soon arrived at the North City gate of the Eternal Immortal Dao City.

Ding Huan inwardly thanked Tao Xiaomei for the information she had sent— this place indeed had thorough inspections, checking every departing cultivator multiple times.

Moreover, there was a Magical Artifact detector here.

"Immortal Transport, please open the gate," Hu Xiangyang approached the city gate, raised a yellow hand token, and spoke with a hint of pride.

Ding Huan thought to himself, you're a Da Yi Immortal cultivator. Even if you are aiding in transporting goods for the Heavenly Court, under these Great Immortal Sect checkpoints, you'd still get inspected before departure.

Wait, wasn't it Heavenly Court? Why has it become Immortal Court now?
