271: Beat up

"Standing guard here for a month earns you two immortal fate stones. This job is already considered quite decent. The guys mining in the caves day and night are the most miserable; they only get one immortal fate stone for working thirty days a month."

"The higher-ups have given you some preferential treatment based on your talent; at the very least, they didn't make you start from the very bottom. This job is already quite good for you."

"Starting today, you are a patroller in our Anbei Royal City Patrol Team 6."

"You will have three days of vacation at the end of every month, during which you can find ways to handle your own affairs. The rest of the time, someone will schedule you; you'll either be patrolling or standing guard."

The person in charge of registration muttered while explaining all the work details, and Li Haotian already had a rough idea in his mind.

He hadn't expected the Immortal Realm to be as cruel as the Lower Realm; even with talent, without a background, one could only be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Such a world was quite realistic; he didn't like it much, but he could only let things take their course.

King Anbei finally called out from her sedan chair, opening her eyes with a bewildered expression.

She couldn't remember anything that had happened just now. She only remembered getting into the sedan chair, and then nothing until she woke up just now. However, they had already left Anbei Royal City a long time ago, and she didn't know why she had inexplicably fallen asleep.

King Anbei touched her swollen buttocks and immediately grimaced in pain. How could she, a dignified Powerhouse of the Emperor Realm, have her buttocks inexplicably swell up?

Could it be that something went wrong with her Cultivation recently? She checked herself with some confusion but didn't find any issues, which had now become the biggest mystery in her heart.

Although her buttocks were very painful, King Anbei still touched them every now and then because this sensation seemed to give her a strange sense of pleasure.

"Senior, I would like to ask, if I have Earth Immortal Cultivation, what kind of position could I get in the Patrol Team?"

The Cultivator in charge of registration saw that his attitude was decent and was willing to answer his questions.

"The True Immortal Realm can serve as a Patrol Team captain. If you are in the Earth Immortal Realm, you could even become the person in charge of this entire area."

"As long as you work hard and Cultivate properly in the future, you will eventually save enough resources to continue breaking through. Once you become an Earth Immortal Powerhouse, you can obtain better treatment and positions."

"You must know that the person in charge of our area can get fifty immortal fate stones a month."

The man held up five fingers as he spoke; clearly, he was very envious and longing for such a salary. If he could reach this level one day, he would likely be satisfied.

After hearing this, Li Haotian nodded, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Finally, right in front of the other person, he released his aura. The face of the person in charge of registration changed instantly; he retreated several steps repeatedly and, after confirming it multiple times, tremblingly returned to the seat where he had been sitting earlier.

"So you are a Senior of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

"In that case, I will report this matter to the higher-ups and have them directly appoint you as the person in charge of our area."

"This small one actually didn't intend to offend you just now; I just didn't know your Cultivation was so high."

The shift in the person in charge's attitude was truly too drastic. Li Haotian found it hard to accept for a moment, but he still nodded quickly to acknowledge the other party's statement. Soon, an order came down, and he wore a badge, which was the symbol of the Patrol Team leader for that area.

Li Haotian checked his work duties: he only needed to work 25 days a month and had 5 days of vacation.

He could receive fifty immortal fate stones every month.

There were a total of 10 squads under his command. Every month, he needed to schedule them and divide the squad members. If any powerful Immortal Beasts were found appearing in the vicinity, they would also need to go and clear them out.

Anbei Royal City was actually the capital of an Immortal Kingdom.

This was an Immortal Kingdom built by Queen Anbei herself.

It was responsible for all matters, big and small, within the entire Immortal Kingdom, which not only included Cultivators but also hundreds of billions of the Human Race, covering an extremely vast area.

The area Li Haotian was responsible for was only less than five hundred miles southwest of Anbei Royal City.

He just needed to arrange for people to patrol here every day.

If there were tasks, naturally someone would issue them to him, and then he would let the people under him do the work.

Li Haotian accepted his current identity openly and prepared to head to the Immortal Cave assigned to him.

Just as he arrived near the Immortal Cave, he heard a cold snort.

"I've spent so many years struggling just to barely reach my current position, yet you brat, as soon as you arrive, you're on equal footing with me. By what right?"

He saw a man with bulging muscles flexing his fists, his huge bald head looking reflective.

Li Haotian glanced at the other person with a very calm expression; the aura emanating from the other person was only at the Earth Immortal Third Layer.

Li Haotian smiled disdainfully.

"Having lived for so long, yet your Cultivation is so low; you really have the nerve. If I were you, I would have committed suicide long ago."

The person who heard this obviously didn't expect Li Haotian to dare to retort.

He was instantly furious, stretched out his large hand, and grabbed at him.

Li Haotian had no intention of holding back and directly pressed forward by relying on the Magic Treasure on his body plus his own aura.

He believed that within the same Realm, he had no equal, even without using a Magic Treasure.

"Defeat the man in front of you and be rewarded with a set of golden Immortal Rank Magic Treasure."

The System's voice came again, and a look of joy immediately appeared on Li Haotian's face.

The Magic Treasure in this world was still classified as Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow. Adding an Immortal Rank on top of these levels meant it was a higher-level Magic Treasure.

Many great experts in the Immortal Realm, even those who had reached very high positions, were still using heaven-rank magic treasure.

Li Haotian swung a heavy punch forward. The man in front of him didn't have a very strong Magic Treasure on him, so he was directly subjected to extreme suppression, and then with a single punch, he was knocked flying.

"A mere Earth Immortal Third Layer daring to attack me? I think you're tired of living."

Li Haotian said while rushing up to beat the other party. Relying on the good items on his body and absolute suppression, he directly subdued the other party completely.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

The man knelt on the ground timidly, his face beaten black and blue. His bulging muscles looked like they had no deterrent power; he now looked like a pitiful, aggrieved big dog.

Li Haotian smiled. For people like this who immediately get jealous without asking the reason, beating them up is the best way to deal with them; otherwise, such people would definitely keep causing trouble behind his back.
