Meng Zhou's remuneration slip is simple.

Miscellaneous labor in the medicine garden, January-February, salary: 200 lower grade spirit stones per month, a total of 400 lower grade spirit stones;

Net head miscellaneous labor, March - June, salary: 150 lower grade spirit stones per month, a total of 600 lower grade spirit stones.

From January to June, the total salary is 1,000 spirit stones.

Meng Zhou complained slightly in his heart, using the lower grade spirit stone as a unit, this is to make the numbers look better, right?

However, he had no objection to the pay itself, and he felt that he had taken advantage of it, and that he had a month-long period of recuperation.

Unexpectedly, I actually have paid leave in this life, which is not easy.

After confirming his remuneration, Meng Zhou took out an exchange manual and studied it.

All kinds of good things dazzled Meng Zhou.

Pills, magic weapons, spells, exercises, formations, etc.

Through this small manual, one can appreciate the vastness and breadth of the world of cultivation, which has been selected and selected by the Deacon Hall taking into account the authority and spending power of miscellaneous servants.

Meng Zhou skimmed through it, but he was not dazzled by the vast number of choices, before today, he had thought it through and summed up a basic principle.

Based on reality, expand the advantages.

Those who seem to be good and powerful, but have a long period of development, and even need continuous investment, give up, he only needs to bring value to him now;

However, the cultivation system is too grand, and his current stature is still too small, so becoming a multi-functional or even all-round talent will not be considered for the time being, and continuing to amplify the existing advantages is the path that should be taken for a long time in the future.

Based on this thinking, one option after another was ruled out by him.

In the end, Meng Zhou's gaze stayed on the three options.

"Common Genus Spells" - 500 lower grade spirit stones

"Common Genus Talismans" - 600 lower grade spirit stones

"Runic Transformation" - 700 spirit stones

"Common Genus Spells" records a large number of common genus spells cultivation methods, most of which are five-element spells, and there are also many practical spells of the Ice Wind genus.

There are a total of 100 kinds of spells such as fire bullets, water arrows, hydrotherapy, ice, earth walls, rattan soldiers, rattan armor, golden knives, and winds, and on average, only five low-grade spirit stones are needed for each type.

Although there are many spells that are highly similar, such as arrow-like spells, there are many versions of rockets, water arrows, ice arrows, and vine arrows, but they are still a set of cost-effective general spell cultivation for qi cultivators.

Although they are all very basic spells, they are exactly what Meng Zhou lacks.

The "Common Genus Talismans" is similar, recording the production methods of fifty common genus talismans, and these talismans can basically be found in the "Common Genus Spells".

Although the average price is much higher than the same spell, it is also a matter of course, the spell can only be used by oneself if it is learned, and the talisman can not only be used for oneself, but also can make money for a living, and the threshold will of course be higher.

"Talisman Transformation" takes the five basic talismans as examples, allowing cultivators to stand at a higher perspective and understand how spells are transformed into talismans and sealed in a fixed manner, and how talismans are transformed into spells again at the moment of activation.

"The talisman is a spell of condensation."

If there is a choice, of course Meng Zhou wants it.

Unfortunately, the pay is not enough.

With his salary, he can only choose one of three.

"Of course, it can only be 'Talisman Transformation'."

Looking at the other two options that he had abandoned, Meng Zhou felt a little regretful in his heart.

After making a choice, the whispered discussion of the two brothers Chen Yong and Chen Cong next to him was also heard by him.

Meng Zhou's first feeling was that these two brothers were much richer than him.

Chen Cong's medicine garden handyman had only been a handyman for four and a half months, and his salary was nine hundred spirit stones, while Chen Yong's disposable salary was as much as two thousand four.

Of course, this is not his income in the past six months, but what he has saved since last year, which he has been paving the way for his younger brother for a long time.

And this time, the two brothers' total disposable quota of three thousand three will be prioritized for Chen Cong.

Although this was discussed by the two brothers a long time ago, Chen Congming felt a little hot, but Chen Yong was extremely insistent in this matter and could not refuse.

"What I should have has been there for a long time, the path is basically finalized, and now all I need is cultivation, and I don't have any urgently needed resources.

You are different, people are still young, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped, and there are many places that can be corrected and optimized in the past road, and now, they can all be solved at one time. ”

Chen Yong finally patted him on the shoulder, "Don't waste time, you missed it this time, and the next time will be half a year later!" ”

Chen Congming was a little choked, but nodded heavily, and then began to choose.

He first chose a more excellent fundamental technique, then chose a first-order middle-grade magic weapon that matched it and could exert the power of the first-order lower grade, and also chose three spells that could be combined with the fundamental exercise and magic weapon.

These options are worth just 3,000 wages.

With 300 wages left, the two brothers had no intention of continuing to choose. decided to save until next time, anyway, they still have some savings now, and they can still make some extra money from Meng Zhou, so there is no problem in fooling the next half a year.

Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he suddenly sighed "gently".

The two brothers were also relaxed after making their choice, and they were both attracted by his sigh of regret.

"Brother Zhou?" Chen Cong couldn't help but open his mouth.

Meng Zhou looked depressed, "It's a pity, it's really ...... Ay! ”

But after saying this, the two brothers did not praise him, but looked at him with bright eyes.

Meng Zhou paused, then simply moved his body and moved closer to the two brothers, his fingers poking at one of the redemption items.

"During this time, I feel that my talisman level is stuck in a bottleneck, as long as I get past it, the success rate of the cleaning talisman can be increased to at least seventy percent, but there is such a hurdle that I can't overcome.

When I saw this just now, I had a hunch in my heart that as long as I could change it, I would be able to overcome this hurdle immediately. ”

The bottleneck was not new to all cultivators, and the two of them did not doubt what he said.

If they can help him make further progress in making talismans, the two brothers are also willing to help.

But looking at his fingers, the two brothers frowned.

"Runic Transformation" - 700 spirit stones

If he helped with this, wouldn't it mean that Chen Cong had to cut off one of the choices he had made with great difficulty, or even choose again?

Meng Zhou naturally couldn't embarrass the two, so he hurriedly said: "Two hundred, I only need another two hundred, that's fine." ”

……

In the end, Meng Zhou eliminated the "Common Genus Talismans" and returned with the two cultivation classics "Common Genus Spells" and "Rune Transformation" with other miscellaneous servants.

The 200 wages borrowed from the two Chen brothers will be repaid the next time they receive their wages.

All the way back to the miscellaneous courtyard, and when I returned home, I was just about to take a good look at these two cultivation classics, when I was interrupted by a knock on the door from outside the courtyard.

He thought that the Chen family brothers who had just said goodbye had something to return, but when he went out, Meng Zhou was surprised to find that the person who knocked on the door was actually Deacon Huang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Meng Zhou was very surprised, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to the gate of the courtyard to welcome him in.

Deacon Huang, who entered the small courtyard, did not immediately enter the living room with Meng Zhou, but paced around the courtyard, looking at the courtyard that had been renovated.

Finally, he seemed to be attracted by a few banyan trees in the courtyard, walked over and pressed his hand on it to feel it, and after a while, Deacon Huang slowly withdrew his hand.

looked at Meng Zhou, his eyes were full of admiration.

"You planted a few banyan trees from the branches pruned from the big banyan tree in your backyard, right?"

Meng Zhou already faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and when faced with this question, he couldn't lie.

"Yes."

Deacon Huang sighed twice, "It should have been a matter of the past two months, but their roots have grown so well, full of vitality, and even the traces of cuttings and transplanting can not be detected, it seems that your attainments in Xiaoyun and Rain Techniques and Cultivation Techniques are not low!" ”

Meng Zhou chuckled in his heart, and did not accept or deny his comment.

Deacon Huang didn't care, and walked to the living room by himself.

After entering the living room, he didn't need to be greeted by Meng Zhou, the master, so he wandered around with interest.

In the study, he looked at the two books that Meng Zhougang had just rested on the table and was about to flip through, and read out softly: "Common Genus Spells", "Runic Transformation" ......"

He turned to look at Meng Zhou, who was silently following behind him without speaking, and asked with a smile: "Old Zhou, your talisman making level should be very high, right?" ”

Meng Zhou did not deny it, and said:

"Your wife should know this best, and I have asked her a lot of common sense about talisman making.

Speaking of which, I was able to get started in the field of talisman making, and your wife has a share of the credit. ”

"You old slippery head, don't tell me the truth now!"

Deacon Huang pointed at Meng Zhou and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"You've played a lot of tricks on me, and this is one thing.

You went to my wife and asked me about the art of talisman making? You've been to Minglu, right?

After all, the sudden display of good talisman making skills is somewhat abrupt, and you want to create an illusion in me that you have just started to learn, right? ”

Meng Zhou had already confirmed that this person was really not a good person today, but his speculation made his tense heart relax a little.

Talking to him: "Senior, you have misunderstood me, and I haven't played any tricks on you!" ”

"Didn't you play tricks on me?" Deacon Huang snorted lightly, "You have a lot of tricks. ”

"Before I came, I specially learned about it, you purchased rune materials on your behalf through the Chen family brothers, and used the rune materials you made to clean up the yin cellar pool......"

Meng Zhou hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "Senior...... I...... I admit that I did dig the corner of the sect in this matter, and I will never dare to do it again! ”

"You can make your own talismans, that's your ability, who cares about you?" Deacon Huang snorted.

"That's not what I'm going to say, don't interrupt me, what I'm going to say is that you lied to the Chen brothers that you only have a sixty percent success rate, which can only deceive laymen like them.

The number of runes they buy is already revealing your true level, and the success rate of cleaning talismans is at least seventy percent, or even higher! ”

Meng Zhou was a little puzzled at first, and then saw Deacon Huang's eyes of "you pretend" and "you continue to pretend for me", and suddenly figured it out.

Because the spirit stone is too scarce, he has carefully calculated every expenditure, since he said that the rune rate is sixty percent, then the purchase of rune materials is stuck with this.

However, as a person who has a passion for the formation of symbols, it is impossible not to study new symbols, and until a new symbol is introduced, failure is the norm.

Therefore, if these consumption are also counted, the amount of his runes is indeed wrong.

However, this in itself is not a big deal, even if the two brothers see it, they will not say anything, after all, this is also a necessary consumption of a talisman maker.

However, in the eyes of Deacon Huang, it is a clear proof that he is playing tricks.

"Senior ......"

Deacon Huang hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, don't, I can't afford you to call me a senior, if you want to talk about playing tricks, you can't deny it in this matter!" ”

He looked Meng Zhou up and down and asked, "You are now at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, right?" ”

Meng Zhou is sluggish, he has no means to hide his qi, in the eyes of people who have cultivated to a higher level, this cannot be hidden.

"Yes. In the past few months, there have been some breakthroughs in retreat and penance. I had to nod my head in acknowledgement.

"Half a year ago, you were a fourth-level Qi cultivator, right?"

"Yes."

"How many years have you been on the fourth layer of Qi training? How did you suddenly become a genius when you got old, and you cultivated to two levels in a row in just a few months, and you were still seriously injured at that time! ”

Deacon Huang looked at Meng Zhou and asked with a playful expression:

"So, have you cultivated this cultivation, or do you not plan to continue to hide it?

I'm curious, when are you going to show your cultivation at the seventh level of Qi training? ”

Meng Zhou said blankly: "Senior, you ...... What are you talking about, why don't I understand? ”

"Don't understand? Okay, I'll change it to something you understand. Deacon Huang nodded, and suddenly asked a sentence that made Meng Zhou's heart cold for a while.

"How did Tan Kaiming disappear?"
