Chapter 2: Hitting walls everywhere
When he first entered this dreamland two years ago, Zhou Xun learned about the efficacy of the "Ningchun Sutra" and planned to take root in the Miaofu Pavilion of Hongyefang.
Use the opportunity of working as a spiritual contract servant in Hongyefang to accumulate spiritual stones and buy elixirs to enhance your spiritual roots.
Zhou Xun took a fancy to a calming grass in Baibao Pavilion, which cost only 150 spiritual essences.
He had already accumulated one hundred and twenty spiritual essences. In just one month, he would be able to buy the elixir and try to improve the effect of the spiritual root.
However, he was kicked out.
Zhou Xun also had speculations about the reasons for the dismissal.
As an orphan, he was able to join the Miaofu Pavilion because of the legacy of his parents.
A certain manager of Miaofu Pavilion had a close relationship with Zhou Xun's father. Through this relationship, Zhou Xun was able to become a servant of the Spiritual Contract.
After joining Miaofu Pavilion, Zhou Xunjinjin worked hard and was appreciated by the managers of Miaofu Pavilion.
Half a year ago, Miaofu Pavilion suddenly announced a news that one person would be selected from all the spiritual contract servants to participate in the Talisman Master Apprentice Assessment.
This is an opportunity for all handymen to rise to the top.
If you can become an apprentice, you will be exposed to the method of making talismans in Miaofu Pavilion and have the opportunity to become a talisman master.
You must know that even a low-level first-level Talisman Master has a status in the entire Miao Talisman Pavilion no less than those in charge.
Not to mention, the income of a Talisman Master is several times that of a steward.
This is a broad road.
This is especially true for Zhou Xun. He has the "Coagulating Spring Sutra" in his hand. He needs a lot of elixirs to improve his spiritual roots. A talisman master position with a large and stable income is crucial to him.
However, there is only one apprenticeship quota, and competition is extremely fierce.
Fortunately, Zhou Xun was rigorous in his work on weekdays, and the entire Miaofu Pavilion manager was very impressed with him. With the full support of the uncle, he had the highest reputation for getting a quota.
The second ranked one is Wei Shangren.
This person is also the spiritual energy handyman of Miaofu Pavilion, but he is an arrogant and domineering master who has high ambitions but low abilities.
But he has an elder brother who is the most talented Talisman Master apprentice of Miaofu Pavilion. He is highly regarded by the senior management of Miaofu Pavilion and even wants to recruit him as his son-in-law.
With such support from his elder brother, Wei Shangren’s voice for getting a spot is also not small.
Conflicts arise from the dispute between the two. The two soon fell into discord and became feuding from then on.
At this moment, something unexpected happened,
Zhou Xun's uncle suddenly suffered an unexpected death.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xun was also immediately fired and kicked out.
"The quota has not yet been announced. The wind in Miaofu Pavilion suddenly changed and I was dismissed. This matter must be related to the Wei brothers!"
A stern look flashed in Zhou Xun's eyes.
But it was quickly replaced by Calm.
"My current cultivation level is only at the second level of Qi training. I have no ability to take revenge when facing Brother Wei Shangren."
"Fortunately, I have the entire copy of the "Ningchun Sutra" in my hand, which can improve my spiritual root qualifications,"< br>
“I will take revenge after my cultivation reaches a certain level!”
The next day, Zhou Xun got up early.
“My top priority right now is to find a job as soon as possible and accumulate spiritual stones!”
With the spiritual stone, he can purchase spiritual medicine, improve his spiritual roots, and then quickly improve his cultivation level!
Then earn more spiritual stones, buy better elixirs, and improve your cultivation to a higher level.
Faster and faster, like a snowball.
After simply drinking some spiritual rice porridge, he left home and headed to the West Square.
The West Square is located in the northwest of Fang City. The major shops in Hongyefang are in charge, and Lingtian is in charge. Whenever there is a need to recruit monks, they will come here. Over time, this place has become a place for talents in the world of cultivating immortals. market.
When we came to the main road, there were many immortal cultivators passing by.
Scholars dress up, Taoist priests dress up, there are all kinds of clothes.
Occasionally there are some demon-hunting monks wearing animal skins, walking in a hurry and looking cautious.
“I don’t know if Brother Shan is back,” Zhou Xun said to himself.
The name of this Shan brother is Shan Xionghai. He is Zhou Xun’s playmate who grew up together. Now he is learning hunting with his uncle, a fifth-level demon hunting monk in Baimang Mountain. Demon.
The last time the two met was a year ago.
Shan Xionghai specially brought Xuemang Rabbit to Zhou Xun, a low-level monster with extremely delicious taste.
Thinking of the taste of the monster meat, Zhou Xun couldn't help but swallow his saliva!
Just as I was thinking about it, the destination has arrived.
"Fellow Taoists, please be polite. I, Wu Gui, am the steward of the Wu family's spiritual field," a middle-aged man in brocade and red robes stood in the center of the crowd.
The Wu family is one of the four major immortal cultivating families in Hongyefang, occupying 30% of Hongyefang.
Of the one hundred lingcui rents Zhou Xun paid every year, 30 of them fell into the hands of the Wu family.
For the low-level monks living in Hongyefang, the Wu family is equivalent to the sky of Hongyefang.
"As you all know, when the spiritual grain matures and emits the fragrance of grain, it is easy to attract spiritual aphids. Now that my Wu family's spiritual field is about to mature, I need fifteen Taoist friends to participate in the pest control, which will take a total of seven days."
< br>"As for the treatment, all the spiritual rice consumed during this period will be provided by our Wu family. At the same time, after the pest control is completed, ten spiritual essences will be given!" the middle-aged man in red robe said with a smile.
Upon hearing the news of ten spiritual essences in seven days, all the monks became excited.
“The Wu family is really generous!”
“Such handwriting shows the elegance of a big family!” “The Wu family has a big pattern!”
< br>You must know that they usually only earn ten spiritual essences for a month, but now they can earn ten spiritual essences in only seven days, which is a first-class and lucrative job.
Zhou Xun was also quite moved when he heard this.
“I didn’t expect to encounter such a good job when I first came here!”
“But we also have requirements!”
The red-robed steward pressed down his hands. The crowd was commotion and continued to speak:
"First, those who sign up must practice basic metal or fire-based exercises,"
Upon hearing this request, a large number of monks sighed instantly and showed expressions that it was indeed the case.
Dealing with aphids is often divided into two parts.
First, monks who practice fire-attribute skills cast spells on the outside to drive away the flying spiritual aphids, while inside the spiritual field, monks who practice metal-based skills cast spells to kill them.
Because spirit aphids are naturally afraid of fire, using fire-attribute spells to drive them away has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
As for the metallic spell, it has sharp and precise characteristics. It can kill the spiritual aphids in the spiritual valley without harming the spiritual valley.
Of course, the other attributes of spells are not impossible, but compared to the two attributes of gold and fire, their efficiency is much lower.
"It's a pity that the elective course I took back then was the "Yuan Yuan Jue" with the wood attribute!" Zhou Xun regretted in his heart.
At this time, the words of the red-robed steward rang out again.
"The second requirement is that the cultivation level must be above the third level of Qi training. If you are below the third level of Qi training, please don't join in the fun!"
Zhou Xun sighed. , knowing that he had no chance, so he prepared to leave.
"It's just a matter of cleaning up spiritual aphids. The monks on the second level of Qi training are fully qualified. Please ask the steward to be accommodating!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged monk in blue robe next to Zhou Xun said Voice.
He is a monk who specializes in metallic spells. Many spiritual farmers near Hongye Square like to come to him to exterminate insects. Unfortunately, he only has the second level of Qi training and is not among the requirements of the red-robed steward.
But I am not willing to let go of the errands of Seven Days and Ten Lingcui like this.
His speech resonated with everyone.
You must know that most of the monks in the field are on the second level of Qi training. The steward's words are equivalent to isolating most of the monks, so they all responded.
"Yes, Lord Steward, we all have rich experience in cleaning up spiritual aphids!"
"We at the second level of Qi training will definitely be able to do the job"
Red Robe Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened.
Without hesitation, he spread his magic power outward, and an aura belonging to a monk in the middle stage of Qi training burst out instantly.
All the monks were shocked.
"It's not your turn to make noise about our Wu family's affairs!" The red-robed steward looked at the monks who spoke with blazing eyes.
As far as the eye could see, everyone moved away, and then, the monks below the third level of Qi training stepped back one after another, while those monks at the third level of Qi training, with faces full of joy, lined up to start signing up.
Zhou Xun's cultivation level was only at the second level of Qi training, which was not enough to register. Naturally, he was among the crowd at the back, looking enviously at the monks who were signing up.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the people who had signed up in front. An old man with gray hair was lifted by a red-robed steward and thrown out. At the same time, he cursed with a look of disgust:
"What's the point of joining in the fun with a bunch of old bones!"
The old man couldn't stop pleading:
"Manager Wu, you are always accommodating. I am also at the third level of Qi training, so you can Let me pass!”
“Bah! Do you think I’m a fool for letting you pass? Get out of here!”
It turns out that once a monk is over sixty years old, his body functions Then he began to decline, and his spiritual consciousness and magic power gradually shrank.
Although this old man is also at the third level of Qi training, judging from his appearance, he is almost a hundred years old. Calculated, his magic power is not as durable as Zhou Xun, a second-level Qi training monk. The red-robed steward was naturally unwilling to recruit.
Soon, the red-robed steward of the Wu family left with the recruited monks.
Zhou Xun shook his head and went to the next recruitment.
"What is your cultivation level?"
"Second level of Qi training."
"We only recruit monks at the third level of Qi Refining, let's go, let's go."
"Second level of Qi Refining? Let's go!"
"Second level of Qi Refining? No, no, no!"
Zhou Xun went through all the recruitments, and almost every company required Qi refining level three or above.
The only one who has no requirements for cultivation is mining.
However, in areas with mineral veins, the spiritual energy is often thin, and the work intensity is high, so there is no time to practice at all.
So even though the pay is extremely high, no one is willing to go except those monk parents who have no future in cultivation and who want to earn cultivation resources for their children.
Zhou Xun’s heart is on the road, so naturally he will not join.
After waiting for a day and not finding any suitable errand for him, Zhou Xun had to go back first.
When he was more than a hundred feet away from home, Zhou Xun saw a figure patrolling in front of his house from a distance.
