Five Stages to Immortality?

Without looking Jin Mu knew this was his chance to change his life!

"YES! Yes I want the power to change everything!" He exclaimed with burning passion and eagerness that seemed to make the one who spoke take a step back.

"Eh hem.. I can feel your great enthusiasm.. But I must warn you that this job requires great perseverance and patience. Not just anyone can accomplish this task. Many have sought to try, but mostly gave up." The mysterious man kindly reminded Jin Mu.

"Even if I must climb up the Great Wall[1] I will do it! There is no such thing as giving up in my dictionary! Believe it!" Jin Mu fiercely retorted.

"The Great Wall no longer exists... But alright then! I now appoint you as the [Garbage Collector]! This is just the start young man, your every effort dictates your future endeavours!"

... Eh?

Thereafter Jin Mu found himself in a shiny fluorescent yellow protective vest made by a well known artillery company BomBaway.

"You mean.. You are just a [Garbage Collector]..?", Jin Mu asked with disappointment written all over his face.

The man smiled and spoke, "Hahaha don't think too highly of yourself. You are nowhere near I, Goh Mi's position. There are five stages in this occupation. Starting with [Garbage Collector], then it ascends in the following order: [Garbage Expert], [Garbage Master], [Sanitation King], [True Garbage Immortal]. My current position is [Garbage Master], I have the authority to hire and promote lesser ranks. It took me 10 years to get here.

Jin Mu was overcome with shock so great his jaw dropped to his feet. "You mean you guys are CULTIVATORS?", Jin Mu asked with fear written all over his face.

"Hahahaha! You realize only now? It seems like you were never exposed to qi before. The dao we garbage men cultivate is the dao of garbage. This is just the foundation though, I heard from my seniors that this dao leads to dao of cleanliness and further on becomes... Dao of Holiness!"

"WOW!! Let's get started! I'm so pumped!", Jin Mu truly believed at this moment that it was a greater being who guided him into that dumpster.

"Alright sure, go pour that garbage bin into the back of the truck", Goh Mi calmly ordered.

".... Yes sir" replied Jin Mu with a gloomy face.
