Zhang Tie also stood up with the others as he made a hand salute in Motian Realm like what the others did.
There were many etiquettes in Taixia Country, such as cross hands salute, cupped hands salute, bowed salute, kowtowed salute, etc. Among them, there were 9 kinds of kowtowing salute, which were dazzling and confusing. These etiquettes were also the products of times and social development. However, in Motian Realm, as the war between humans and demons hadn't come to an end for tens of thousands of years, the etiquettes here were much simpler. Like being in a military camp, they maintained an ancient custom. Commoners here would only salute each other by hand. Only when they saw highly respected elders in their clans or supreme immortal generals or immortal emperors who could found immortal palaces would they salute each other by hand. When they prayed in immortal palaces or shrines, they would salute each other by hand.
The so-called hand salute was to fold one's hands in front of one's chest, push them out and raise them up. It was the same for both men and women.
Since the two people arrived, Zhang Tie could only put his questions aside for the time being. After coming to Motian Realm for a few days, Zhang Tie had not contacted too many people. Therefore, he didn't know many things in Motian Realm; especially the secrets and knowledge about immortal generals in this world. No matter what, as long as he could gain a firm foothold in this world, he would have plenty of time and opportunities to ask others about these questions.
Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't worry about it anymore.
Zhang Tie didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but he felt that the two people had taken a deep look at him when they entered.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Please take a seat …" the old man said calmly as he returned a hand salute, which indicated that he was the one in charge of this place.
Those immortal generals in the room had long been a bit restless; especially the two immortal generals whom Zhang Tie met at the beginning. One of the two immortal generals couldn't help but ask the old man the moment everyone else took a seat and the old man took a seat in the room.
"We came to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City because we were told that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is recruiting immortal generals. Is it true?"
"Right, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is indeed recruiting immortal generals. Besides Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, all the other immortal palaces above 3 scales across Motian Realm are recruiting immortal generals!" the old man said calmly.
The fierce immortal general let out a sigh at once as he asked, "I wonder about the regulations and requirements of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for the recruitment of immortal generals. Do they get 10 element crystals for each level according to different levels?"
"Each immortal general can at least get 10 element crystals per month. If they make meritorious deeds or take important positions, they might get more!" The old man in black dragon-pattern robe said calmly. When the two fierce immortal generals' eyes shone, the old man's next words slightly changed their faces, "However, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace doesn't recruit them by contract; instead, they recruit them by oath …"
Not only the two fierce immortal generals changed their faces, all the other immortal generals in the room also looked gloomy after hearing the old man's words, including the two women on Zhang Tie's side who turned solemn at once. After hearing the old man's words, they exchanged a glance with each other.
Zhang Tie became confused as he couldn't help but ask Ji Yuelan secretly on his side, "What's a contract? What's a pledge?"
Ji Yuelan had long treated Zhang Tie as an immortal general who had forgotten everything. After hearing Zhang Tie's question, she didn't mind Zhang Tie's question at all; instead, she told Zhang Tie secretly, "A contract refers to signing a contract with an immortal palace, which usually lasts one year or a couple of years; the longest is 10-20 years or dozens of years. After the contract ends, the immortal generals would recover their freedom. It's also the most commonly used way for immortal palaces to recruit immortal generals. The so-called oath means that the immortal generals who join an immortal palace should pledge their loyalty to the immortal palace and become a member of the immortal palace. Unless they betray the immortal palace and are chased by the entire immortal palace, they could not easily leave the immortal palace in the future. Generally, the so-called oath means that the immortal generals who are trained by the immortal palaces or the immortal generals of the clans that join the immortal palaces. It's very rare for an immortal general to join the immortal palace by oath.
Zhang Tie understood it. The so-called contract meant that the business group recruited temporary workers and contract workers; the so-called oath meant that the business group directly expanded its shares. The former meant that the business group worked for others; the latter meant that the business group was bound to the business group. If the business group could be prosperous, of course, it would be worthwhile; however, if the business group couldn't manage well, it would be a scam. Given the current situation of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, it seemed that the latter was more likely.
"The Dragon Emperor has been missing for over 900 years. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is already on the verge of collapse; however, they still want to recruit immortal generals by oath. We two brothers are really not interested in it. See you …" After exchanging a glance with each other, the first two fierce immortal generals stood up and left without demur.
The tall and tough earth immortal general shook his head as he said, "Pitifully, I'm out of my clan for cultivation. I have to go back in the future. See you …"
In the blink of an eye, 3 of the 10 people in the room had left, leaving only 7.
The old man calmly watched as the three of them left, and did not try to stop them.
"I wonder why Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is still recruiting immortal generals by oath after the Dragon Emperor has been missing for so many years. Elders and head of the immortal palace, do you have any method to ensure the existence of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace instead of having us die together with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?" The cool man who had been keeping his eyes closed finally opened his mouth.
The old man took a look at the cool man with an appreciative look as he said in a muffled voice, "Although the Dragon Emperor is missing, it doesn't mean that he has died. Perhaps, he could come back one day. Even though the Dragon Emperor has really died, it doesn't mean that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would perish from then on. As long as someone in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could promote to a supreme-level immortal general, he could also carry the banner of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!"
"What if he couldn't?" the arrogant earth immortal general asked.
"If the Dragon Emperor doesn't come back within 100 years or nobody in the immortal palace could carry the banner of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace anymore, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would be disbanded automatically. By then, all the members of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could leave freely …" The old man said as he took a look at the others in the room, "Over the next 100 years, although you would bear more risks, you would definitely receive a great return from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Although it seems that you're sparing a chance to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, you're sparing a chance to yourselves too."
