Chapter 13 Application

Some mortals can exchange one or two spirit stones for one or two pieces of silver a year by providing labor for immortal cultivators, which is worth one or two thousand taels of silver. However, no one will exchange spirit stones for silver, those who can earn spirit stones have special skills, and they all want to leave spirit stones to relatives and friends at home who can cultivate.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Wang Jing found an inn in Huanggang City that was closer to the immortal cultivation shop. I ordered a pound of cooked beef, two bowls of rice, and a cup of Huanggang special rice wine, and devoured it. After a full meal, a guest room was opened. The room is not big, but it is very warm and comfortable, with beds, toilets, and washing utensils, which is worth the price of one or two silver a night. Wang Jing hurriedly washed off the dust on his body, and quickly climbed into bed and fell asleep. In the past two months, he has been too sleepy, most of the time he has been sleeping in the wilderness, always surviving between half sleep and half awake.

The next day, I slept naturally, and when I woke up, it was already three poles in the sun. Wang Jing casually ate a few steamed buns and walked along the street. The walls here are tall and thick, and the streets are bustling without war for many years. High-rise buildings are lined up one after another, pedestrians are weaving, and there are many street vendors on the roadside, and the sound of bargaining is endless.

At the entrance of many powerful shops, there are two rows of beautiful welcome ladies, who are very eye-catching, and they bend down to the guests who come in and out. Wang Jing didn't buy anything to go in and take a look, he was saluted by a few beautiful girls, he felt fresh and excited, and he enjoyed a VIP treatment, if he was loose enough, he didn't mind spending a lot here.

The workmanship and materials here are very good, but unfortunately they are ridiculously expensive, a top hat costs two taels of silver, and a set of robes costs five taels of silver, which is simply a money grab. Although Wang Jing came out of the Yinshan Mountain Range and made a fortune, most of the silver was left to his parents, he only brought twenty taels with him when he went out, and he used a lot on the road, and now he has less than ten taels on his body.

Wang Jing took a cursory walk around the lobby of the palatial store, felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly retreated with a ashamed face, and fled as if he were sent off by two rows of high-quality beautiful girls.

Wang Jing didn't give up, and visited a lot of shops, the situation is probably like this, it seems that it is not that the things here are expensive, but that he is too poor, and he must quickly find a way to make money. Wang Jing touched a few taels of silver in his arms, and muttered to himself in his heart.

Huanggang City is crisscrossed by more than a dozen streets, the streets are prosperous, there are countless alleys, there are many dilapidated wooden houses, but it is still a grade better than Qizhou City, but it is just mixed with high-end shops and courtyards and looks dilapidated. According to Wang Jing's current economic situation, he will have to sleep on the streets in a few days, and it is also a luxury to be able to live in this dilapidated courtyard.

I walked around for three days in a row, and I also patronized many immortal cultivators' shops. Those who sell immortal cultivation items all need spirit stones to buy. A low-level and lower-level one-time talisman seal costs one spirit stone, an ordinary Roushui Jue Technique costs more than a dozen spirit stones, and an ordinary flying sword can easily cost hundreds of spirit stones.

It's a pity that there are no apprentices here, and Wang Jing has no way to worship the teacher, so he can only find ways to earn spirit stones first, and then buy cultivation exercises to learn by himself, waiting to participate in the assessment of the Immortal Family.

The shopkeepers and juniors of which stores all have a little bit of immortal cultivation skills, and they look down on mortals. Seeing that Wang Jing had no spiritual power fluctuations on his body, but he was dangling in front of the counter, curiously inquiring about those low-cost spells and low-level magic weapons like a dirt bun, all of them regarded him as a curious mortal man, and did not give him a good face. After saying three or two sentences, they drove him out like a fly.

Five days later, Wang Jing had no money in his body, and he could only think about the immortals and immortal things in front of him, just like a hungry man who was hungry for white-flour steamed buns but had no money to buy.

Shaking his head helplessly, he had to leave unwillingly. It seems that if you want to cultivate the immortal cultivation method, you first have to earn enough spirit stones. He can't plant spirit grass, he can't breed spirit pets, and he can't make talisman seals, so no one dares to ask a mortal novice like him to help, that is to find someone to waste spirit stones for himself, and he can't find compensation for it.

After eating at the door of many stores, Wang Jing finally reluctantly went to the recruitment notice wall to look for a job. After comparing various aspects, he found that a job in refining ore was very suitable for him. It was an armory workshop recruiting temperers, and it was for immortal cultivators to preliminarily refine dark iron ore, and they only needed brute force. If you do a good job, the amount of dark iron ore tempered meets the specified requirements, and you can receive a spirit stone a year.

However, this kind of work is not something that everyone can do, first of all, you must not be afraid of high temperatures, and then you must be strong and hard-working, and you can pick up a sledgehammer and hammer tens of thousands of times a day and night. There are dozens of masters in this armory workshop, among which there is a team of ten people, specializing in tempering dark iron ore to earn spirit stones, ten people earn a spirit stone a year and hold their heads and smile, that is a thousand taels of silver, each person can be divided into a hundred taels, so that the family can live a quiet life for a few years.

According to the advertisement of the job posting, Wang Jing found the armory shop in a remote alley after several inquiries.

"Boss, I want to be a temperer and extract the black iron ore, but I don't want silver to ask for spirit stones, do you still recruit people in your shop?" Wang Jing walked into the store, bowed his hand, and asked shyly to a middle-aged man with bare shoulders, chest muscles raised, and full of strength.

"Yo, with your little body, how many hammers can you pick up in a day? Go and don't get in the way of our work. The big man took advantage of the gap between the sledgehammer in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Jing, and said with disdain on his face.

"Big brother, is it okay for me to only take my own salary? Housing expenses can be deducted from my salary. Wang Jing asked tentatively.

In the past, it was not without a young man like you who extorted money, and when he saw that the wages were high, he drilled here, but he didn't work for two days, either his foot was smashed, or his waist was broken, and he had to lie in the yard all day long to eat and drink, and finally had to compensate a large amount of damages, and the result was not our hard-earned money. ”

A lean man next to him put down the sledgehammer in his hand, wiped the sweat on his head, and snorted coldly at Wang Jing.

"You can do it, I can do the same, recommend the person with the most strength here, give it a try, if I lose, turn around and leave immediately, and never bother you again." "Anyway, he is also a person who has been cut by the demon soul and cleansed the marrow, and he is so looked down on by a mortal, which can't help but make Wang Jing's heart burn, and he is not polite to speak.

"Boy, do you really want to try? You can try, in case you have a broken hand, you will bear the consequences, and it is too late to regret it. The first strong man to speak was obviously their leader, and when he put down the sledgehammer, he walked towards Wang Jing, and the other shop guys also put down their hands one by one, looking at Wang Jing and coaxing, worried that the matter would not be big enough.
