Chapter 4 Opportunity
According to the original idea, there would be 110 spiritual essences left after renting the house. Now the rent has increased by 50%, and only 60 souls are left.
Not counting cultivation resources, just purchasing spiritual rice is only enough to last for half a year.
Besides, we have to prepare next year’s rent in advance.
“It’s better to find a job quickly!”
When we came to the West Square again, it was bustling with people, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
Zhou Xun was confused and hurriedly asked an old man next to him.
“This Taoist brother, I wonder what happened here to make everyone so excited?”
The old man’s hair was gray and his robe seemed unusual, but it was quite old and there were some There are traces of fire, and there is still a faint medicinal fragrance!
It seems that he was once a wealthy person, but now he is in decline.
"Brother Taoist?"
The old man saw a young man with red lips and white teeth calling him. His face was a little strange, but he still explained patiently:
"Fellow Taoist has something to say. I don’t know,”
“Five days ago, Master Yun Ku of the Lin Family Alchemy Workshop successfully broke through to the foundation building stage, and at the same time advanced to become a second-level mid-level alchemist,”
“In order to celebrate and expand, The Lin family’s alchemy workshop has decided to recruit 10 alchemy apprentices and 30 spiritual contract servants. This is a great opportunity for casual cultivators like us!”
"What!"
Hearing the news, Zhou Xun's heart moved.
He vaguely remembered that the reason why his predecessor was able to join Miaofu Pavilion as a spiritual contract servant was because the second elder of Miaofu Pavilion was promoted to the second level Talisman Master three years ago, and Miaofu Pavilion expanded and recruited six apprentices. Only then did Zhou Xun have the opportunity to join the 20 spiritual contract servants.
Now that I encounter such an opportunity again, I must not miss it.
“Brother Dao, do you know the requirements for this recruitment.”
As an apprentice and spiritual contract servant in the Alchemy Workshop, there are naturally certain thresholds, and it is impossible for just anyone to join.
"First of all, the origin must be clear and the family must be innocent. It would be better if he is a child of mine who grew up in Hongyefang."
"Secondly, this alchemy apprentice must be under the age of eighteen. Years old, and at the same time, the cultivation level is above the third level of Qi training, and then the candidates will be admitted on a selective basis. "The Lingqi servants should be at the third level of Qi training before the age of thirty, and the second level of Qi training before the age of eighteen!" After that, the man glanced at Zhou Xun and said with regret:
"It's a pity that fellow Taoist is about to reach the second level of Qi training, and is only a little short of the apprentice's standards. What a pity!"
< br>
The old man said and sighed.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun's heart moved.
There are so many conditions for an alchemy apprentice, and I only have one level of cultivation. Is there room for change? But on the surface, I am still modest:
"What a pity, I am just a casual practitioner. I would be satisfied if I could join the Lin family and become a servant of the Spiritual Contract. As for the apprentice, I don’t want to ask for anything extra!” It's a pity that his talent and cultivation are too poor!" The old man stroked his beard, somewhat like he was playing with the world.
"It's always fun to be content, as long as fellow Taoists are open to it!"
"I don't know when to sign up?" Zhou Xun asked hurriedly.
Such large-scale recruitments are often announced in advance, with registration first and then selection.
If you give yourself some time and pay a certain price, you might be able to break through before the selection!
“Today, one month later, registration will be open here and selection will be conducted at the same time. I hope fellow Taoists will be able to fulfill their wishes!”
"Thank you so much, Brother Dao!" Zhou Xun bowed his hands and bowed.
‘One month, I still have a chance! ’
Zhou Xun was overjoyed.
Among the various arts of cultivation, the alchemist’s status was the most respected.
Ordinary first-level alchemists can become the guests of foundation-building monks.
Master Ruyunku was a second-level low-level alchemist before his breakthrough. Although his cultivation was only at the ninth level of Qi training, in terms of status, he was even higher than ordinary monks in the early stages of foundation building.
Now that he has advanced to the second level mid-level, his status is even close to the late stage of foundation building, and he is among the top five in the entire Hongyefang.
If they could join the Lin Family Alchemy Workshop and become alchemy apprentices under Master Yun Ku, then the Wei brothers would definitely not dare to cause trouble for themselves again.
Furthermore, there is another advantage of becoming an alchemy apprentice, which is that you can openly come into contact with various spiritual plants. His own Spring Ning Jing has a place to be used.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun no longer wanted to find a job.
He immediately headed east to Danfang without hesitation.
He decided to buy a Qi-inducing pill.
The Qi-Entraining Pill is a pill that strengthens the body and strengthens the body. It is suitable for monks in the early stages of Qi training. Many monks at the second level of Qi training use this pill to achieve breakthroughs.
It’s just that this elixir is expensive, costing at least 40 spirit essences each.
"Although I'm not at the peak of the second level of qi training, and it's unlikely that I can directly break through to the third level by taking the Qi-entraining Pill, it's worth fighting for such an opportunity!"
Walking through the long stone road, turn around After passing a few corners, we came to the front of Linjiadanfang.
The Lin Family Alchemy Shop is the largest elixir shop in Hongyefang, and it is extremely majestic.
This building has one main building and four auxiliary buildings. The highest point is about seven or eight feet high, with a towering roof. The entire Wanbao Tower occupies an area of nearly a hundred feet, with winding corridors, high eaves, carved railings and painted buildings, making it majestic.
There are two guards stationed in front of the building, both masters of the third level of Qi training.
Zhou Xun stepped in from the door and went straight to the area where pills for the early stages of Qi training were sold.
“This young master, I don’t know what pills I want to buy!”
“Qi-inducing pills!”
“A total of 41 spiritual essences!”
Zhou Xun took out the spirit essence without hesitation, took a medicine bottle containing Qi-inducing pill from the shopkeeper, and left in a hurry, heading towards his home.
When he first arrived at the alley, Zhou Xun met many pedestrians, all of whom were immortal cultivators living in Green Willow Lane.
The neighbors look at me differently!
Zhou Xun is a little weird.
When I got closer, I heard them talking about themselves, and their voices could be heard faintly in my ears.
"Did you know? I heard that Zhou Xun was fired from Miaofu Pavilion!" The person who spoke was a young man dressed as a servant. When I see Zhou Xun on weekdays, he is the elder brother and the younger brother.
"Hehe, he also had the same fate!" The man next to him gloated.
I used to work in Miaofu Pavilion, and many people were jealous.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun didn’t say anything, he just passed them by and ignored them when they were high. Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had seen this kind of thing many times.
Shaking his head, Zhou Xun continued walking forward.
At this moment, a tall figure came closer and asked with concern
"Brother Zhou, I heard that you were expelled from Miaofu Pavilion?"
This man looks elegant and has a foot-long broad-bladed butcher knife hanging on his waist. He is about forty years old.
"Brother Gao, even you know about this!" Zhou Xun bowed his hand.
This man’s surname is Gao, who also lives in Luliu Lane and is a Lingtu monk.
Spirit fish, monsters and the like in the world of immortality often need special treatment when slaughtered, otherwise the spiritual energy will escape and their value will be greatly reduced, so the profession of spirit slaughter was born.
And this middle-aged man named Gao is a spiritual butcher monk passed down from his family, and his skill in slaughtering spiritual fish is even more outstanding.
He is now in the largest monk restaurant in Hongyefang, responsible for slaughtering spiritual fish.
"Your story has been spread throughout the alley, why don't I help you and tell me to work as a waiter in my restaurant. Although it is not as good as you in Miaofu Pavilion, it is still a good place to settle down!" "The middle-aged man's tone was sincere.
Zhou Xun felt warm after hearing this, but still refused.
This eldest brother, Zhou Xun, felt a little unfathomable when he traveled through time. Now that he has the "Condensing Spring Sutra" in hand, and has the opportunity to be an apprentice in Danbao Pavilion, he declined politely:
"Thank you, Brother Gao. I still want to look for it myself. If there is nothing I can do, I will have to trouble Brother Gao then!"
"That's fine, you are young and should take more chances. No, just come to me again!"
Zhou Xun nodded in agreement, and walked quickly home with the Qi-Entraining Pill in his arms.
