There were three more projects left. One of them was about pharmacology, which clearly sought a drug apprentice. This could be considered by Free-and-Easy as it was a good job that not only allowed him to get some elixirs but also let him interact with many people.
Cultivators needed medicinal pills for their cultivation. The bigger the family, the more medicinal pills they would need. Generally speaking, such families had alchemists of their own. Alchemists were still quite sought after in this land.
The second project was about raising demonic beasts. One did not have to be familiar with all their habits but needed some experience in breeding them. This was a good job position as well since Free-and-Easy wanted to train a few messenger demonic beasts and could make use of the resources available here for learning.
Which one should he choose Free-and-Easy had a headache. Both were great options...
The third project
This one was directly ruled out as it required knowledge about female handicrafts and was needed by the Black Tortoise Family's tailor shop. Although Free-and-Easy could do this, he did not want to choose this.
Although he would be able to interact with women who had a lot of information, he did not wish to attract attention. After all, it was rather unusual! Of course, the project was specifically targeted at women and never thought about men choosing it.
The remaining choice on his list now came down to which one between these two should be chosen. Free-and-Easy made his decision quickly by tossing a copper coin...
"You raised demonic beasts" the tester for the project was surprised. He had not thought that someone would choose this one since it was such an unpopular career.
Not everyone could raise demonic beasts, and breeding them was also very dangerous. As a result, there were few people who knew how to do it, and none of the other applicants did either.
"Yes!"
Free-and-Easy nodded. His brother not only raised demonic beasts but even one that ate the most!
"Interesting. Answer my questions..." The man said and asked a few basic questions about breeding demonic beasts, though they were basic, there were still very few people who knew them.
Free-and-Easy naturally answered these questions easily as if it was second nature to him. Even if he had not read books on breeding demonic beasts over the last period of time, he also knew some when in the Divine Martial Continent.
The tester was satisfied with Free-and-Easy's easy answers and proceeded to increase the difficulty. However, Free-and-Easy still answered effortlessly.
The tester nodded happily as he tested Free-and-Easy’s practical abilities a little bit more. Even if Free-and-Easy had failed this test, the man would have hired him anyway since these skills could be trained over time. All that mattered was that one knew how to do them and then it would be easy enough.
Free-and-Easy did not disappoint with his practical abilities either, so he was immediately recruited by the tester who left with Free-and-Easy right after. Hiring one person was already more than sufficient for him as he no longer needed anyone else.
The people that came along with Free-and-Easy were a bit envious when they saw him being hired into the Black Tortoise Family, but they did not begrudge him anything because of how cold his choice had been. Even if they chose it, there was no way for them to succeed.
Therefore, he did not snatch anyone's position and only made them envious without any resentment towards him.
"Starting today, you are a lower-class servant of the Black Tortoise Family and will be responsible for raising our demonic beasts. These are all very precious ones; take care."
After helping Free-and-Easy settle his application procedures, the tester brought Free-and-Easy to the beast ranch, but it was a special one for demonic beasts. This ranch was huge with a large number of valuable demonic beasts inside it. The ordinary ones were all thrown into wild animal pens.
There were many of these demonic beasts that Free-and-Easy had neither seen nor heard of before, and from this alone, the wealth of the Black Tortoise Family could be judged.
Why did they keep these demonic beasts in a ranch rather than letting them graze outside The answer was very simple. These demonic beasts mostly belonged to someone, while their owners usually had no time to take care of them but also did not want to part with them for too long. Hence, this special ranch for raising demonic beasts was built.
In fact, it was like that in many families and not just the Black Tortoise Family. The latter's ranches were simply larger than others with more and higher quality demonic beasts.
Who were their owners Naturally, they belonged to the young ladies, lords, grandfathers, or mistresses of the Black Tortoise Family in other words, the masters of the family.
Among these demonic beasts, there were also some very valuable ones that were being raised as one's own life-bound demonic beast. This was what people paid most attention to!
In this land, life-bound demonic beasts were not as rare as they were in the Divine Martial Continent. Many people already had their life-bound demonic beasts before reaching the Empyrean Realm.
This isn't about those who feel there's no hope of breakthroughs; it refers to people who rely on their life-bound demonic beasts for combat power. Such individuals are also known as beast tamers, slightly different from pure martial artists.
In this land, while a life-bound demonic beast would impede one’s cultivation progress, the impact isn't significant. The life-bound demonic beast itself can absorb the essence energy of heaven and earth to cultivate because there's sufficient essence energy here.
On Divine Martial Continent, life-bound demonic beasts can only absorb their master's strength for cultivation due to the insufficient essence energy in the environment; this is a distinction between the two worlds.
Hence, many people accept having a life-bound demonic beast here, forming a unique combat occupation that is quite powerful.
However, those who are solely devoted to martial arts still don't want life-bound demonic beasts because they pursue the pinnacle of martial arts; a life-bound demonic beast would be an encumbrance.
History has proven that those who only seek the peak of martial arts prowess often end up being the strongest, far surpassing beast tamers!
That said, if one's talent in martial arts is insufficient, they can still use a life-bound demonic beast to彌補實力上的不足，這也是曆史得出的經驗。
在玄武世家之中，既有天才也有較為普通的人。他們明知自己的武道天賦不夠，自然會選擇本命妖獸來彌補，在此同時，他們的武道之路依然需要繼續走下去，並不能鬆懈。
禦獸者實力如何，基本上也是看自身的武道功力，這是無法改變的事實！
不過所謂殊途同歸，禦獸者之道也有一些驚豔的天才，他們也曾讓整個天下為之變色，這規律也不是一成不變的。
再加上，在前期的話，禦獸者因為有本命妖獸的幫助，是比較強大的，尤其是本命妖獸強大的那種，更是遠超同階層的武者。
逍遙現在所飼養的一般還不是本命妖獸，隻是未來成為本命妖獸的妖獸。如果是本命妖獸的話，一般都是自己帶著，不會放在妖獸獸欄來養，除非是生病受傷了。
"好了，這些妖獸我都給你介紹完了，注意裡麵的那隻受傷的玄龜獸，那是靈琪小姐的本命妖獸，你現在彆去照顧，你的資格不夠。"那個人說道，“對了，我是這裡的管事，你叫我李管事就好了。”
“是的，李管事！那我的工作是什麼？”逍遙問道。
"你現在的工作就是先熟悉這裡的環境，看看我們怎麼做，還有照顧一些在初級獸欄的那些妖獸，這些你應該不會有什麼問題。還有，我們這裡有一個妖獸數資料室，你有空去看看裡麵的書。”李管事說道，“就在你們院子之中。”
玄武世家有個不錯的規定：每個職業的院落都會有專門的資料室，裡麵有關於這個職業的所有書籍，隻要玄武世家能收集到的都會歸入其中。這是為了方便各個職業的能力提升。
而這些書籍有些隻是副本，因為玄武世家還有一個更全麵的資料室，也可以說是書院，整個院子裡有幾棟樓都放著書籍，涵蓋了天下的所有知識領域。
這也是很正常的，連每個下人的職業都有專門的資料室，自然就會有一個總的資料庫！
玄武世家的這一習慣也被其他家族所學習。他們發現這確實有很大好處，雖然說收集書籍的成本有點高，但這對所得的好處根本不值一提。
由於各個家族和勢力都是如此，在長時間交流之下，他們會互相借閱各自冇有的書籍，然後抄下來歸入自己那裡，當然，自己也要給對方所冇有的東西或者一些代價。
基本上，三大超級世家的書籍都一樣豐富。隻是珍藏各不相同，這些一般也包括各種技能，比如武技、機關術、醫學等，尤其是武技功法，各自獨有的就更多了。
對於逍遙來說，他所需要的也就是普通知識就行，那些獨特的他並不怎麼需要！
同時，現在的逍遙還是先做好自己的本職工作，去研究這方麵的妖獸數資料。這個玄武世家很全麵，能把裡麵的學問學完的人基本上就是絕頂的獸師了。
李管事將逍遙帶到一個院落，這裡將是逍遙以後住的地方，和其他負責飼養妖獸的家丁同住，而像李管事這樣高級人員也一樣住在裡麵，隻是他們的房子要好很多。
不過，逍遙所住的也不差，比一般家庭都要好，這也是玄武世家大家業大的一個表現。
"對了，還忘記告訴你一件事，在玄武世家之內院是我們不能進的。那地方隻有玄武世家本家人能進去以及在那裡伺候下人，反正像我們這樣的基本上是不能進，除非有人傳喚我們。不過我相信你應該是冇有這個機會的。”李管事最後說道，這也並不是他看不起逍遙，而是一個事實。
在玄武世家做事的人大部分一輩子都冇有進過內院，這很普遍。ldn't offend Immortal Doctor Peak!"Master Tianyi, that brat killed our sons and disciples; we must avenge this. Please give us permission to do so, and we’ll remember your favor," Fengchi tried saying...
