Chapter 19 Finding a job
After drinking tea and hearing some useful information for himself, Li Mo walked around the shops on the street.
Pills, magic weapons, talismans, and spirit beasts are all sold very expensively, and the more high-level things are, the more expensive they are. The dozen or so spirit stones that Luo Xiaofeng had on hand were not enough to buy a bottle of the lowest-grade Gathering Spirit Pill.
I saw that there were signs hanging in front of some shops saying that they were recruiting, so I went up and asked.
In a small shop selling pills, Li Mo asked, "Shopkeeper, are you looking for an apprentice here?"
The shopkeeper was an old man, combed in a bun, his hair and beard were white, and he looked like a white-bearded old fairy in the book, and said to Li Mo very kindly, "Girl, do you have a fire spirit root, how about fire control, you pinch a fireball and I'll take a look." โ
Li Mo recited the mantra, and an egg-sized fireball appeared in his hand.
The shopkeeper saw that Li Mo's fire control technique was just getting started, and it was obvious that he had learned the lowest level of goods, so his expression was not so kind, and he asked again, "Are you familiar with the spirit grass, can you distinguish the thousands of spirit grasses in the spirit grass record?" I had to answer truthfully
"I haven't studied Baicaolu yet. โ
The shopkeeper didn't smile at all, waved his hand and said, "We are not suitable for this job, go and look elsewhere." โ
Li Mo walked to a spiritual weapon shop again. The owner of the spiritual weapon shop is a very rough man, seeing a delicate and weak little girl at Li Mo, he asked if she wanted to recruit a buddy and drove her away directly, "Little girl, don't joke with me, we are going to practice weapons, what can you do with your little arms and legs?"
Li Mo was very unconvinced, "Boss, don't look at me small, I have a lot of strength." โ
The boss took out a small hammer from behind his waist, and after injecting spiritual power, one of them rose taller, and he gestured with the hammer in front of Li Mo, and said in front of Li Mo, "Have a lot of strength, do you have the strength to play this?" โ
Li Mo twisted the hammer, which weighed more than 10,000 catties. With great effort, the hammer only moved one point, and Li Mo was shocked and fell to the ground.
The boss was kind enough to help Li Mo up and said, "Okay, this is not what your little girl can do." You are so young, why don't you go and find a sect to stay well, and buy spiritual weapons from me in the future, I will make you cheaper. โ
I went to several more shops, but no one was willing to accept Li Mo. Occasionally, there is a bit of cleaning and miscellaneous work, and people recruit mortals who have not cultivated. These mortals can be sent away with only gold and silver, and Li Mo, who wants to collect spirit stones, naturally has no one to recruit.
There was a square on the west side of the city, where several sects were stationed to accept disciples. There was no way Li Mo also went over there to ask, even the most third-rate small sect, people used spirit stones to test, and found that Li Mo was a miscellaneous spirit root and sent her away. After running for such a while, Li Mo also understood that this world is the more single the spiritual root, the better, and the good sect, the three spiritual roots can only be outer disciples. Only those with single and double spiritual roots are accepted as inner disciples. The small sect requires that those who are lower only need four spirit roots, and it is basically impossible for the five spirit roots to break through the foundation building period and recruit them back for nothing.
And doing casual cultivation, except for those who have high cultivation or have a skill, the others are as mixed as Li Mo now, which is called miserable.
There are three major schools in Haitian City, Baicao Pavilion, Yin Jinmen, and Sword School, which are famous for practicing Dan, practicing weapons and sword cultivation. And there are many second-rate and third-rate small sects below, and there are countless of them.
Li Mo went around Haitian City for a few days, all of them came out during the day, and when it got dark, he went back to the cave in the mountains and forests outside. Haitian City wants spirit stones for everything, and Li Mo is reluctant to stay in the inn with only a dozen pieces. Besides, the cheapest inn in Haitian City also costs five spirit stones for a night. The restaurants also sell all kinds of spiritual food such as spiritual rice, and the price is not arbitrary.
Some casual cultivators will go farther outside the city to kill demonic beasts, and those high-level various animal skins, animal bones, claws, teeth, etc. can be exchanged for spirit stones. But Li Mo doesn't have powerful and lethal spells, nor does he have spiritual weapons, so if he really encounters a high-level demonic beast, he can deliver food.
It's not that no one collects it, Li Mo walked out after failing an interview, and there was this thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks standing at the door of the store, thinking that he was smiling kindly, but in fact it was extremely obscene. "Girl, but do you need to find a job?"
"Yes, do you have anything?" Li Mo was in a bad mood, but he was not easy to get angry either, so he asked patiently.
"We have a job here that is very suitable for girls, and I see that the girl has been looking for a job for the past two days, and she is waiting for a girl here. โ
Li Mo felt strange, this is a city of cultivation, and they generally call each other Taoist friends, unless they are people who are self-consciously old and have a high level of cultivation, they will call you girl. This male cultivator who is at most twenty-five years old, and the girl who is not handsome and closes her mouth is very irritable.
"I have something to do, if you don't have a very good job, you better not bother me. โ
"Girl, it's a great job. Wrapping up food and shelter, but also wrapping up the exercises of cultivation. The daily spirit wine and esophagus are enough, and as for how many spirit stones you earn every month, it depends on the girl's diligence. If you look good, isn't it a dream to get a hundred spirit stones every month?"
Li Mo was originally going to leave, but when he heard this, he looked back, "There is such a good thing? What kind of work is it? Am I suitable?"
The smile on the man's face became brighter, but it was actually more obscene, "I am actually the manager of the Spring Flower Courtyard, and I am responsible for recruiting suitable people." I think the girl has a strange skeleton and a beautiful temperament, and there is nothing more suitable than our job. โ
"What the hell is that?"
"Girl, our Spring Flower Courtyard is very famous, specializing in providing door-to-door double repair services, I dare not say that it is better than the Desire Immortal Building, but in the door-to-door service this ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"
With an incomparably accurate punch to this ugly face that was like a pile of chrysanthemums, the man's face immediately swollen. Before the man came to his senses, Li Mo got into the crowd and ran away. Who are these people, I owe a beating.
After thinking about it for a few more days, after inquiring in detail, Li Mo had already decided to sneak into the Baicao Pavilion. It is said that all the disciples of the Baicao Pavilion can learn alchemy, but the pills are very expensive. As for his five spirit roots, he has all the disciple tokens, and he shouldn't mind.
Regarding his five spirit roots, Li Mo asked Luoluo, and Luoluo said, "The five spirit roots are the best qualifications, but you have to wait for the five spirit roots, the more evenly distributed the five spirit roots, the better, and those who are impartial like you are the best." The "Nine Cultivation Immortal Technique" is the most suitable for your qualification of waiting for the five spirit roots, which is the first-level method of the ancients. โ
Li Mo was very skeptical of Luoluo's words, but he thought that he had recently inquired about saying that the Five Spirit Roots could not break through the foundation building period, and he could only believe in the "Nine Cultivation Immortal Formula", otherwise he would not be able to break through with other exercises, so it was better not to practice.
In the end, I heard a kind old man say in a shop that sold exercises that the ancient monks did take the five spiritual roots as the best qualifications, but now, I don't know if the exercises are missing or the sky has changed, and the five spiritual roots can no longer be broken through, and they have become the worst qualifications. The best qualifications and the fastest cultivation are all single spiritual roots.
At a stall, Li Mo bought a map for two spirit stones. The stall owner is blowing the sky, if you don't have a map, you are embarrassed to mix in Haitian City. Haitian City is too big, and the surrounding mountains and forests are no less than ten thousand miles, Li Mo inquired about the location of Baicao Pavilion, but he couldn't hear it clearly, so he had to grit his teeth and buy this map. It's just the size of a handkerchief, infused with spiritual power, but it can enlarge and shrink the place to be seen. It's like a mobile phone map from the previous life, which is very convenient.
It took me half a day to read the map, and I already knew about all directions. Almost all of the large and small sect mountain gates were built outside the city and scattered all over the place. A branch will be built in Haitian City to facilitate disciples to go out and contact. The location of the Hundred Grass Pavilion is already clear.
Put away all his things, and only brought Luo Xiaofeng's one of the storage bags he picked up, and the other and the useless token found a place to bury them. Disguise the outside of the cave again, and hide it to leave a way back for yourself.
"Luoluo, I'm going to Baicao Pavilion outside, why am I a little scared?"
"What are you afraid of, the uncle was so kind to save that Luo Xiaofeng, what benefits were not obtained, you borrowed her identity to use it, you deserve it. And the outside of the matter is almost understood, as long as you don't say it, you can't reveal the stuffing. Besides, she looks so much like you, maybe God arranged to give you an opportunity. โ
After Li Mo heard this, his heart was a lot more settled, and the last trace of worry was gone. Full of ambition, he set off to Baicao Pavilion.
Her physical fitness is more than ten times better than before her cultivation, but there are many roads outside the mountain that are not easy to walk, and the location of Baicao Pavilion is even more remote.
The mountain gate of Baicao Pavilion is a tripod as big as half a mountain, and the position below the foot is the entrance. There were two foundation building disciples standing on both sides of the Dingzu, several disciples in the Qi cultivation period, holding inch-long spears, and the body of the spear also flashed with thunder and lightning, it should be a spiritual weapon.
"Stop!" as soon as Li Mo appeared, one of the people at the door raised his gun and shouted at Li Mo.
Li Mo took Luo Xiaofeng's token in his hand and showed it to the man, and said, "Senior brother, I just returned to the mountain gate." โ
The man took the token and read it carefully, and after confirming that it was true, he returned it to Li Mo and said, "Why have I never seen you." โ
Li Mo said, "I'm new. A few years ago, when my brother was killed, Senior Brother Luo took this token and told me that when I have practiced cultivation, he will accept me as a disciple of the sect. โ
When this person heard that it was Senior Brother Luo who called him, he no longer doubted it, and beckoned to call for another life foundation building period, "Senior brother, since it is arranged by Senior Brother Luo, you can send her to the deacon hall." โ
It turns out that behind this tripod is a row of stone steps, which is very wide and atmospheric, but it looks like there are thousands of steps, how to go down. The senior brother guarding the door put away his spear, took out a flying sword, and immediately pulled Li Mo into the air.
Li Mo was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to come out. After flying for a while, I got used to it before I dared to look down. Looking down from a high place, this Baicao Pavilion is surrounded by valleys, and a large area of spiritual fields is planted with spiritual grass, which is very spectacular. To Li Mo's surprise, above Lingtian, there was a floating island in mid-air, which was firmly fixed in the air without any support. There is a layer of fog around the outside of the floating island, like a fairyland, but it also blocks most of the scenery of the floating island, and only some buildings can be seen vaguely.
