A thousand yellow and clear Datang Tongbao are strung together, which is called a hanging money, also known as consistent. This is the money that Zhang Cundao just pawned in exchange for the goods. I don't know what the purchasing power of this hanging money is.

If you want to know the purchasing power of this money, it is simple, it is nothing more than to ask about food, clothing, housing and transportation. It happened that there was an inn opposite the money village, so Zhang Cundao went to ask about the accommodation fee. An ordinary room costs 10 yuan a day, a good room costs 30 yuan a day, and the top room costs 120 yuan a day. This Qianwen can stay in an ordinary room for three months, and can only live in a good room for one month.

It seems that this purchasing power is okay. Zhang Cundao pondered in his heart for a while. But he turned his head to look at his family and shook his head. Singles and widows are naturally not afraid, but this dragger is not good. This thousand texts won't take long.

Just when Zhang Cundao was thinking about the price, the nine-tailed fox on the side suddenly said: "You see it's so lively over there, what are you doing there?" ”

Zhang Cundao was shocked by her words, and also turned his head to look over. I saw a large group of people gathered at the door of a building, everyone looking at the building in anticipation, as if they were waiting for something. One by one, they went in, and then they came out one by one. Those who came out were full of despair, while those who went in were full of hope.

Zhang Cundao couldn't help but walk over, he pulled a monk who was also watching next to him and said, "Fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?" ”

The man looked at Zhang Cundao with some unhappiness, but looking at Zhang Cundao's appearance, he still explained: "This is the Thousand Illusions Sect recruiting people. After he said a word, he stopped talking, which made Zhang Cundao even more curious.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly parted, and a proud young man walked out, he looked around, and then said: "The ordinary members of the sect have stopped accepting it, and the next one only accepts those who have one skill, and those who do not have one skill can leave." ”

Hearing him say this, some of them showed regret on their faces, and then they turned away, but most of them remained, looking at the young man with hopeful eyes.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, I can tie paper, is this considered a skill?" A monk with an honest face asked.

"Do you tie paper? What kind of paper is tied? But what is the magic effect? The man asked.

"This is a family heirloom, and I can tie paper people, paper boats, and paper dragons. This paper man can move, the paper boat can swim, and the paper dragon can fly. I don't know if it counts. The man continued.

When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "This ability is still a little interesting, okay, go in and sign up." ”

After he had finished speaking, the man's face showed joy, and then he thanked the young man and went into the attic. The young man looked around and said, "Is there anyone else who has a skill?" The Thousand Illusions Sect is a great sect, and this treatment is quite good. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to meet it in the future. ”

He asked twice in a row, but no one answered. The young man shook his head and whispered, "After all, it is a border port, and there are many tricks and few real skills." He was about to enter the attic. Then Zhang Cundao opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know if the little brother will recruit an alchemist?" ”

The young man who heard this paused, and then he turned his head to look at Zhang Cundao. I saw Zhang Cundao looking at him with a smile on his face, with a calm face. And he was followed by a beautiful female cultivator, who seemed to be his Taoist companion. And his Taoist companion was accompanied by two young girls, one was young and ignorant, and the other was down-to-earth and generous, judging from their expressions, they looked like two maids.

And behind the maid is a tall and strong man, although this big man is well hidden, but he still feels a trace of demonic energy, it seems that this big man is this person's demon servant. From this point of view, this is the family of the monk who spoke, and he should have come from other places to come to the Tang Dynasty to beg for a living.

The moment this young man saw Zhang Cundao and them, he analyzed it in his heart. In his opinion, Zhang Cundao is like a family who has some skills in a small place, and then moves his family to a big city to seek better development. Because he has some skills in a small place, he has exercised some generosity and calmness, and he is not so cringe as others. Judging by his appearance, he should have some money to spare, but definitely not much. There is money in a small place, but if you put it in a big place, it is a little better than a homeless man.

With such an analysis, the young man of the Thousand Illusion Sect was sure in his heart that the person in front of him should indeed have some ability, and he also tended to be stable. So he said, "This fellow Daoist is an alchemist? ”

Zhang Cundao nodded: "Exactly, I am also proficient in alchemy." ”

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, where did the monk from this small place know what advanced alchemy is, and this proficient alchemy rhetoric was nothing more than putting gold on his face and wanting to elevate himself. He smiled in his heart, he had seen a lot of this turtle-like cunning.

However, after all, he was born in the Great Sect, and he still had basic cultivation, so he said: "Since this is the case, then Daoist friends, please, we will naturally have someone to evaluate you." ”

Zhang Cundao nodded, then said a word to the nine-tailed fox behind him, and walked into the attic.

This attic is actually a local dental store, which is responsible for all kinds of guarantees, contracts, and recruitment, which is a human resources company. However, today, this tooth shop was surrounded by the people of the Thousand Illusions Sect, and the people sitting in it were all people from the Thousand Illusions Sect.

A person who looked like a steward beckoned to Zhang Cundao, and then asked, "Do you know how to do alchemy?" ”

Zhang Cundao nodded, then took out a 'Liuwei Dihuang Pill' from his arms and said, "This is what I refined. ”

The housekeeper picked up the Liuwei Dihuang Pill and looked at it, smelled it, scraped a little bit of powder and tasted it, although his face was silent, but his heart was full of waves.

This elixir seems to be very good, it seems to be useful for water travel, for tonifying yin and aphrodisiac. ’

The steward nodded, returned the elixir to Zhang Cundao, but his brows furrowed, and said, "This is indeed a good elixir, but how can this prove that you refined it?" ”

Zhang Cundao smiled and said, "Can this still be faked?" I can refine a furnace of pills for you on the spot. ”

Alchemy on the spot? Is this man so confident? The steward raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he glanced at Zhang Cundao. He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate, we have a tight schedule, I'm afraid we don't have time to watch your alchemy......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cundao took out a Dan furnace from his arms, and then he threw his hand, and the Dan furnace fell to the ground and became larger, turning into a one-person high Dan furnace. This Dan furnace was changed by him with Ruyi, and it is not difficult to master the Ruyi of the change rhyme to become a Dan furnace.

Seeing Zhang Cundao's battle, the people in charge were stunned, and he hurriedly said, "You're going to do alchemy here?" ”

Zhang Cundao looked at him strangely and said, "Isn't this okay?" ”

The steward looked at him in surprise and said, "Aren't you alchemists to pay attention to the balance of yin and yang, the environment is elegant, the mood is peaceful, and the time must be right before you can start the furnace alchemy?" ”

Zhang Cundao looked at him like a fool and said, "What does all this you said have to do with alchemy?" As long as there is a Dan furnace and medicinal materials, you can make alchemy. Where is there so much stinking exquisite. ”

When he heard this, the steward's face was blue and red, as if he was constipated. After a long time, he held back a sentence and said, "Then we don't have time to wait for you to refine the pill." ”

"Can't wait a quarter of an hour? Are you guys in a hurry? Zhang Cundao asked in surprise.

"It only takes a quarter of an hour for you to do alchemy?" The steward also asked in surprise, and then he said, "Doesn't it take seven seven hundred and forty-nine days, or eight or eight or sixty-four days, or at least four hundred and sixty-four days to be baked?" ”

"Without this kind of exquisiteness, some pills take more time, but some pills can be refined in half a day. Because I am good at refining Liuwei Dihuang Pills, I can make a furnace in about a quarter of an hour. In other words, who told you all this alchemy knowledge, and why does it sound like it is playing tricks on you. ”

Zhang Cundao's words were like a knife inserted in the heart of this steward, he moved his mouth slightly, the expression on his face was intriguing, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "You practice, I'll watch." ”

Zhang Cundao nodded, he first touched the Dan furnace, and the Dan furnace was happy. Then a little flame popped out into the fire chamber, and the flame grew when it saw the wind, and soon it burned brightly.

Zhang Cundao waited for a while, then took out a few medicinal materials from his arms and threw them into the Dan room at will. He closed the lid of the furnace and urged the furnace to be moved, and the chamber of the furnace rotated. As soon as his mind moved, the flames in the fire room erupted, and several tongues of fire erupted from the fire eye of the fire room, and the Dan furnace was instantly burned red, and the Dan room turned like a centrifuge, constantly making a 'whirring' sound.

And the steward on one side was even more stunned. He is not an uninformed person, on the contrary, he happens to be in charge of alchemy in the sect, and he specializes in contacting the alchemists in the sect. It's not like he hasn't seen alchemists alchemy. However, those alchemists always carefully looked after the fire, accurately calculated the time of dosing, accurately calculated the amount of dosing, and fanned the flames with reverent faces, their alchemy was more like a mysterious ritual, praying to God to give them a furnace of intact elixir.

As for the person in front of him, I don't know if he is on the wrong path, and I don't know if he is a crop master. His alchemy is more like stir-frying, how big the fire is, how big the fire is, how big the materials are, and the medicine at will. There was neither a pious expression on his face, nor a careful demeanor. He even had the heart to pull a chair from the side and sit down!

This completely subverted the steward's perception of alchemy, and at this moment, what he thought of was those alchemists who were as devout as believers, and they were refined by the alchemy furnace in front of him!

】

Not long after Zhang Cundao sat down, the Dan furnace buzzed and trembled, and a trace of medicinal fragrance emanated. Zhang Cundao made a move, and the fire in the fire room became smaller, and finally turned into a small flame and disappeared. But the Dan Room was spinning faster at this time, making a 'buzzing' sound.

The air was gradually filled with a surging medicinal fragrance, and at this time, Zhang Cundao waved his hand, and the top cover of the Dan furnace was lifted, and more than a dozen soybean-sized pills rose to the sky, and Zhang Cundao grabbed them.

"That's it!" The steward muttered to himself. Then he immediately came over and stared at the pill in Zhang Cundao's hand.

Zhang Cundao handed him one casually and said, "You check it." ”

The steward hurriedly scraped off a little powder and tasted it, then his eyes widened, he bowed deeply to Zhang Cundao, and said: "Today is an eye-opener, Mr. Alchemy's alchemy skills are perfect, better than any alchemist I have ever seen." ”

Zhang Cundao waved his hand and said, "Without him, only his hands are familiar." "Back then, in order to feed the demon dragon with kidney loss, he refined a lot of Liuwei Dihuang Pills. In fact, this elixir is also useful for him now, if he wants to refine the immortal sword, he must strengthen his kidneys. And this elixir can strengthen the kidneys.

Zhang Cundao's style would have been regarded as pretending to be hypocritical a quarter of an hour ago, but after a quarter of an hour, it would be a powerful modesty and harmony. The steward bent down slightly and said to Zhang Cundao, "Sir, do you want to join our Thousand Illusions Sect and become our exclusive alchemist?" ”

This is the same as submitting a resume, Zhang Cundao has shown his ability, and he has also been recognized by the recruiter, and now he is talking about entry. After all, Zhang Cundao has been an interviewer for a short time, and he still understands this.

He smiled and asked, "What can the Thousand Illusion Sect offer me?" ”

The steward hurriedly said: "If Mr. becomes our exclusive alchemist, then we will prepare an exclusive small courtyard for you in the Heavenly Court Mansion of the Divine Capital, with a basic remuneration of five thousand Tongbao per month, and every time Mr. helps us refine a furnace of elixir, there will be additional charcoal filial piety." If the gentleman wants to make his own alchemy, the medicinal materials in the sect will also be provided to the gentleman at a cost. ”

After he said this, he quietly looked at Zhang Cundao, and Zhang Cundao didn't show anything, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied?

In fact, Zhang Cundao didn't have any concept of these at all, he didn't know how much the exclusive courtyard of the Shendu Heavenly Court Mansion was worth, and it didn't seem to be much for five thousand treasures. I don't know the standard for this charcoal filial piety, and I don't know how many there are. As for the cost price of providing medicinal materials, it is even more ridiculous, and this cost is not calculated by Zhang Cundao.

said such a big chase, that is, five thousand Tongbao is the most real, but a monthly salary of five thousand does not sound much. The basic salary of the civilian job he just joined in the misty company is 7,000, and the salary of the technical post is negotiable, and the basic salary is not less than 10,000. Because of such a high salary, the misty company has always been the company that graduates want to enter the most, and there is no one.

Seeing that Zhang Cundao was silent, the steward immediately said: "This is something I can guarantee, but Mr. is of an excellent level, when he arrives at the Chief Sect of the Heavenly Court of the Divine Capital, I will report to the elders, and I should be able to provide you with better treatment, please understand this." ”

Yes, he is just a recruiter, and he can naturally handle it as an ordinary interviewer, but when it comes to Zhang Cundao, a technical master, he has to report to the top to decide. Ordinary job seekers grab a handful, but the skilled big ones are not wild leeks that can be cut casually.

Zhang Cundao also nodded in agreement, and then said, "By the way, can you introduce me to the Thousand Illusions Sect?" ”

The steward was stunned when he heard this, you don't even understand what the Thousand Illusions Sect is, so you came directly to apply? Is there technology that is so capricious?
