"Does the Elder have any objections?"
The eldest lady's voice came from behind the beaded curtain, and it seemed to carry an unmistakable meaning.
"At this age, cultivators, and dare to recruit refiners, are either arrogant or have real skills, if it is the former, we don't have to be polite to him, if it's the latter, we don't have to stick to common sense. ”
"Having said that, but ......" Gong Yuyuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile, "That's a magic weapon that is expected to become a treasure, what if that person doesn't learn and can't do anything, what if he breaks it?"
"This brocade was ordered by Meishan Tieshou Qiu's predecessors, and if it is not delivered on time, it is useless. The eldest lady said indifferently, "Why not give it a try? If you succeed, you will naturally be happy, and if you fail, you will hand him over to the senior Qiu." Could it be that we can still find Elder Rong who is sick to take care of this matter?"
Gong Yiyuan was stunned for a long time, and only then did he figure out the trick, and he couldn't help but feel excited: "The eldest lady is wise!"
"Isn't it all forced to be helpless? you go and prepare, and I'll see it later. ”
"Yes, Miss. Gong Yuan arched his hand, and Shen Sè was a little complicated, and retreated.
"Whoa......
Not long after Gong Yuyuan left, the bead curtain was opened, and a cold woman wearing a yellow dress and a beaded hairpin walked out.
She looked thoughtfully at the courtyard outside the door.
Li Wan, who was sitting in the room on the other side and waiting, soon saw Gong Yuan coming back.
Gong Yuyuan apologized to him, looking slightly embarrassed: "Li Xiaoyou, we already know your sincerity, but the rules cannot be abolished, if you want to join, you have to go through the official examination school." ”
Li Wan said: "This is a matter of course, why don't you say more, even if the elders of the public lose command." ”
Gong Yuyuan coughed lightly, and seemed to be a little embarrassed: "In this school examination, as a rule, Li Xiaoyou is asked to refine a magic weapon by himself. Li Xiaoyou should also know that as a refiner, the most fundamental thing is the skill in hand. ”
Li Wan saw that his expression was wrong, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "What does your fang want me to refine, Elder Gong may as well say it bluntly." ”
"It's a brocade of fire scales. Gong Yuan finally said it.
Soon, Li Wan knew why Gong Yuan was stumbling.
This magic weapon, called the Fire Scale Brocade, is not an ordinary thing, but a treasure artifact that has not yet been completed.
Gong Yuyuan took him to a single courtyard in the middle of the fang, which was surrounded by high walls, and outside the wall, the aura of monks appeared frequently, and it seemed that a group of men and horses were patrolling and guarding the neighborhood at any time.
Li Wan faintly felt that there were many spirit stones buried on the ground around him, arranged into a formation base, and the huge heaven and earth vitality was condensed into a ball, and there was a powerful prohibition guarding it in secret.
"This is the workshop of the refiner in the workshop, which is prepared with the tools needed for refining, if there is any unique technique that needs to be used in the dispensing, tools, you can order the miscellaneous servants and apprentices to send it, if you are interested in recruiting, you can refine this fire scale brocade here, if you are unable to complete it, it is best to explain it in advance. ”
Gong Yuyuan led Li Wan into the courtyard, there was a stove and pot table, everything was available, and on a table near the inside, there was a soft armor with fiery red scales, and before he got close, a hot breath like a furnace fire rushed to his face.
On the side of the table, there were several chests full of similar scales, which seemed to have been peeled off from the demon beast as a material for refining, and next to it, there were various crystal ores and ointments.
In addition, on a wooden shelf next to the stage, everything has long been emptied, and only a long brocade box remains.
Gong Yiyuan pointed to the brocade box and said, "What is placed in it is the atlas of this fire-scale brocade." ”
"This fire-scale brocade seems to have been completed for the most part, and I am going to complete it for others according to other people's drawings now?" Li Wan couldn't help but ask when he saw this, "This seems to be a bit out of order." ”
The magic weapon atlas is the painstaking work of the refiner, which is not only necessary for the design of the magic weapon, but also often records some experience and inspiration, which is equivalent to a unique secret book.
This kind of thing can never be lightly displayed to others.
Gong Yuyuan also guessed that Li Wan had this question, and explained: "This atlas is owned by the fang, let you see it, and you will see it, as for the person who was originally in charge of this matter...... He's recuperating from illness right now, and it's not a bad rule to hand it over to you, although rest assured. ”
Hearing what the master here said, Li Wan nodded and said, "That's good, how much time do I have to finish?"
Refining magic weapons is time-consuming and laborious, and most of the good magic weapons are piled up by the power of heaven and earth and time.
Gong Yuan said: "You have three months. ”
Li Wan pondered for a moment and said: "Three months is not too short, okay, I should go, but before that, let's talk about it first, if you are recruited as a refiner in the workshop, what will be the treatment?"
Gong Yuyuan was not the slightest surprise at Li Wan's question, but what was unexpected was that he really had the courage to agree.
"If this man is not a true genius, he is a madman who is not afraid of death......"
Gong Yuan's doubts about Li Wan's swagger and deception at this time have also decreased a lot, after all, he knows that he has to complete a semi-finished magic weapon alone, and he can be so calm, and he has real skills.
Fools should also know what the consequences will be if they play the Heavenly Workshop in this Wushan Alliance.
"Our treatment, in the whole Tiannan, can be said to be good. ”
Speaking of this, there was a bit of pride in Gong Yuan's tone.
"At the beginning, it was eight hundred spiritual jade per month, if there was no separate workpiece, you could take turns to rest for twenty years every month, leaving only ten rì to sit in the field, which is to supervise the apprentices, and give a little guidance, of which each rì only needs to work half a rì.
If there is a single workpiece, within the specified period, you can zìyóu control the time, the workshop only asks for the final completion, the piece is paid, the refiner can see the quality of the completion, ranging from one to three out of ten, if there is an early or super finish of the workpiece, you can also get additional rewards, these rewards have become a rule, but the situation is complicated, it is not clear for a while, if you are interested in understanding, I will take it to you later. ”
Eight hundred per month, twenty days off in turns, half a rì on the work, zìyóu control, piecework commission, additional rewards......
All these kinds of preferential treatment were unexpected by Li Wan, he had long heard that the refiners were a group of quite wealthy monks, but he did not expect that the treatment would be so high.
But after thinking about it, Li Wan understood again.
In the world of Fang Jin, the immortal road is prosperous, and there are people who cultivate and ask for the Tao everywhere, especially the disciples who refine qi and build a foundation.
The magic weapon is the utensils they use, as stated in the preface of the "Great Canon of the Instrument Sect", although there is no obstacle to the life of Xìng, it can protect one's body, fight and kill, and even enter the Tao with weapons, which are of great use.
With a few good magic weapons in hand, the hope of enlightenment is a little bigger, so why don't monks pursue it?
And if you want to become a refiner, you must learn things such as Dao patterns, law seals, prohibitions, formations, and talismans, and then you have to have heavenly and earthly treasures, and you can achieve something for a long time, and not everyone is suitable.
"Refiner, don't just want to be...... It's more about talent.
Monks are originally brave and vigorous, and nine percent of their talents, time, and strength have to be used on the right path of Jindan Avenue, except for a very few wizards, which one is not the first to correct the path?
In this way, outstanding refiners are really rare. ”
After figuring it out, Li Wan could also understand why most of the magic weapons were expensive, and the status of the refiner was far better than that of ordinary monks.
This can also be said to be the compensation of the entire cultivation world for those who cultivate the Tao of the Instrument and the Dao, which involves the power of time and is difficult to attain enlightenment.
Although many people understand that refiners have a high status and are easy to make money, they are rarely envious, and it is even more difficult to make up their minds to step into this path.
At this moment, Li Wan couldn't help but shake slightly, was it right for him to step into this path from the beginning.
But thinking that he had obtained the "Great Canon of the Instrument Sect", there seemed to be providence in the dark, so he still nodded and strengthened his determination.
"I see, Elder Gongyi, I can do it in three months, right, I can do it. ”
His expression and tone were very indifferent, and he didn't seem to take this magic weapon in his eyes.
Gong Yuan said: "There is no basis for words, we can set up a note first, and then we can start." For three months after the signing of the document, you will have to stay in the middle of the house, and every person will visit and inspect it...... I wonder if Li Xiaoyousuke minds?"
Li Wandao: "The unique techniques of the refiner are mostly the internal qigong method, as well as the means of refining the true fire and blending secret medicines. ”
Li Wan was not surprised by this, after all, the field is a place for refining treasures, and all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures are piled up, what if the young people get in just to steal the treasures?
The method of the Heavenly Workshop is to set up prohibitions everywhere and closely monitor them, and since it has been explained in advance, it is understandable.
When Gong Yuan heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
The refiner has a high status, and he is an important member of the Heavenly Workshop, if he resists these surveillances, it will be very troublesome, but fortunately, Li Wan is still a person who understands, and he has no quirks.
Li Wan said at this time: "I can first establish a letter with Guifang as a basis, but there is one thing I want to make clear first." ”
Gong Yuyuan asked, "What's the matter?"
"I have friends in the city, I want to go back and talk to them, and besides, I have some trivial matters that I haven't taken care of recently, so I have to finish them before coming here. ”
As soon as you enter the field and start work, it is equivalent to a retreat, and it is normal for people to settle trivial matters before that.
Gong Yuyuan nodded and said: "Yes, but it can't be delayed for too long, at most you will be given ten rì time, and after ten rì, you will have to report here." ”
Li Wan thought for a moment: "Ten rì, okay, just ten rì." ”
The two parties agreed that they would immediately set up a word as a basis, and then Gong Yiyuan personally sent him out of the house, watching him disappear into the crowd.
"Is it a liar or a genius...... After ten rì, you will see. Gong Yuyuan touched the note in his sleeve, and secretly thought in his heart, "I just don't know, do you dare to come back." ”
