125 Miscellaneous Servants
Ye Chen and Wei Ming met in the Knocking Immortal Hall Square, and it was completely a chance encounter. He didn't talk too much with Wei Ming, so he said goodbye and left, and then went directly to the miscellaneous hall of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate to see if there was any work he could do.
No matter what place it is, whether it is the Academy at the northern foot of the Wuguo, the Tianwu Immortal Yuan City, or the Tianxu Immortal Gate, as long as there are many people living in the place, there is always a lot of work to be done and people need to be hired. If he is diligent, he can also earn a little spirit stone to subsidize his cultivation needs.
Wei Ming didn't mention the matter of the spirit stone again, looking at Ye Chen's departing figure, his expression was a little dark.
He plotted against Zhu Haomin when he rushed to the town demon tower to seize the order, although he didn't succeed, he had already offended Zhu Haomin to death, and there was no room for recovery. Don't look at Zhu Haomin, he doesn't say or do anything. But this account must be remembered, and the consequences will slowly come out. If Zhu Haomin catches the opportunity in the future, he will not show mercy to him.
He got close to Ye Chen, of course, in order to take advantage of the situation and make Zhu Haomin a little more worried. It wasn't to make Ye Chen's cultivation faster.
But when facing Ye Chen, he always felt a very peculiar pressure, and Ye Chen's potential as a civilian cultivator always made him feel a little out of breath. This kind of pressure is even worse than Zhu Haomin.
He couldn't understand at all why this seemingly ordinary little casual cultivator was so dazzling.
"Ye Chen is just a loose cultivator, without any foundation and the resources of other forces, but he can win the first place in the Chong Tower among the tens of thousands of monks in Tianwu Immortal Yuan City, which is already very powerful!"
"Now that he has entered the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, there are thirty acres of spiritual fields, and there are still a lot of miscellaneous jobs in the Immortal Gate that can earn spirit stones, which is even more powerful for him, and in a few years, I am afraid it will be several times more powerful than now! ”
Wei Ming's gaze was extremely complicated, and there was even a hint of jealousy.
He was very reluctant to admit that he was jealous.
He Wei Ming is the heir of the Wei family, a great clan in Xiancheng, with the support of the entire family, and has a solid foundation for cultivation, and in recent years, hundreds of spirit stones have been supplied every month to buy cultivation materials.
But when he rushed to the Demon Tower, he still couldn't compete with Ye Chen's loose cultivation.
What does this mean?
Ye Chen's talent for cultivating immortals was far above him.
The tenacious will to cultivate is also above him.
Wei Ming is a scheming monk who knows who can be suppressed and who cannot be provoked. After he joined forces with Chu Zhenping, the No. 4 Lu master, he also felt that he was six or seven percent sure before he dared to challenge No. 1 Zhu Haomin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it lightly.
But in front of Ye Chen, he couldn't estimate Ye Chen's strength, and only felt a sense of powerlessness.
He wanted to surpass it desperately, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"Zhu Haomin, this guy, must be thinking about how to surpass Ye Chen now. I don't know how Zhu Haomin feels when facing Ye Chen, I'm afraid he is also angry and wants to vomit blood!"
"Ye Chen can cultivate so fast in Immortal City, and he will only be faster in Immortal Gate. Why bother with him! Lao Tzu is still not as good as him, so we still have to find a way to catch up with him!"
Wei Ming laughed at himself, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around and left, went back to the courtyard of his residence, and hurried to practice the "Xuanhuang Axe" combat technique
Ye Chen came to the Miscellaneous Hall of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate.
There was only one deacon in the temple who was responsible for assigning miscellaneous labor. The deacons of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect are all second-generation disciples and monks in the foundation building period.
Ye Chen saw that the three generations of disciples of the Immortal Sect who were in the hall and wanted to receive miscellaneous labor had hundreds of monks. All the disciples shouted one after another, waiting to receive the miscellaneous labor, and talked as they spoke.
Ye Chen was surprised and followed behind the other monks.
There are so many monks who receive miscellaneous labor in the immortal gate.
However, he listened to the discussions of many fellow disciples in the hall, and soon understood. Every year, in the small exam, a disciple was fined and confiscated Lingtian because he failed to pass the assessment, resulting in a sharp decrease in income. To make up for this loss, of course, you can only recover it by doing odd jobs for the Xianmen and Uncle Shi.
The Immortal Sect has a lot of miscellaneous work, which is enough for their disciples to do.
Ye Chen finally got on his wheel, and hurriedly said, "Disciple Ye Chen, I have seen Uncle Shi! Disciple wants to get a few simple chores." ”
"Ye Chen, yes! I have a lot of miscellaneous work here. Some can be completed in the Immortal Gate, and some need to leave the Immortal Gate, such as mining, searching for secret objects, etc., and go to other places!"
The deacon said.
"The disciple wants to find a job in the Immortal Gate. ”
"Then these handymen work!"
"There is an elixir garden in the north mountain peak where Uncle Wang has been in retreat for several months and needs someone to take care of him. Every day, I went to the spiritual spring of the mountain stream and brought spiritual water to irrigate the elixir garden. Give twenty spirit stones a month. ”
"Uncle Zhao of Xingshengfeng has a spirit ape, he wants to go out, and he wants to find a substitute to feed him for a month, so he only needs to feed it regularly. Ten spirit stones a month. ”
"In the area of the ink bamboo forest of Xianmen, several middle-level demon wild boars were found, and a lot of tender ink bamboo were damaged. Someone needs to kill them and destroy their nests deep in the bamboo forest. This task is limited to three days and cannot be overdue. Reward ten spirit stones. ”
"These are all quite easy, but there are not many spirit stones to be rewarded!"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said quickly, "I think I've got it!"
"Okay! I'll report back when I'm done!"
The deacon waved his pen and gave three easy-to-do miscellaneous jobs a miscellaneous card, and handed them all to Ye Chen to do.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Ye Chen received the three Immortal Sect miscellaneous tasks in one go, took the miscellaneous service cards and left in a hurry.
He was getting busier.
Before dawn every day, he went to the Knock Immortal Hall to listen to the teaching. Then he went to the North Mountain Peak to get spiritual water to irrigate his uncle's elixir garden, and it took two hours to water all the hundreds of acres of elixir.
Then go to Xingsheng Peak to feed the spirit ape.
In the afternoon, he went to the ink bamboo forest to search for the whereabouts of the demon boars, and it took a lot of time to clean up the small group of demon boars.
After finishing the work of clearing the demon boar within the time limit, Ye Chen went to the Miscellaneous Service Hall to resume his life, and by the way, he saw if there was a suitable temporary task.
Before the spirit stones that sold the elixir from the Immortal City Dawn Chamber of Commerce were delivered, he had to do miscellaneous work diligently, almost three or more times a day.
In a month, you can also get a hundred spirit stones.
These hundred spirit stones, if they were directly used to purchase the second-order Yuan Qi Pill used by the mid-stage Qi refining cultivators, would be spent quickly.
Ye Chen used all of these more than 100 spirit stones to cultivate spiritual herbs in the Immortal Mansion, and then refined the second-order Yuan Qi Pill in the Alchemy Pavilion of the Immortal Mansion, saving a lot of costs. The remaining spirit stones are used to purchase materials for drawing the primary magic seal.
After a month, he was barely able to maintain a high-speed cultivation.
I worked until the evening every day, dragging my slightly tired body back to the courtyard where I lived.
Ye Chen continued to spend an hour drawing the Fireball Seal, Water Arrow Seal, Lightning Strike Seal, and other seals, deepening his mastery of the Seal Runes. In just one month, he was able to draw a complete fireball seal.
Draw a rudimentary fireball spell seal, and the success rate is not high. The cost of materials is more than twelve or thirteen spirit stones, and the small fireball magic seal can only sell nine or ten spirit stones, and it can only be sold in the Heavenly Mist Immortal Yuan City, and cannot be sold in the Immortal Gate.
However, this still made Ye Chen feel happy, at least he could recover a little capital.
He was busy until late at night, and he slept in the Blue Lotus Dharma Seat for two hours.
In the two hours in the Blue Lotus Dharma Seat, the aura was swallowed with his breath, and he was still practicing the exercises, slowly enhancing his Yuan Shen Yuan Qi. This exercise is very beneficial to him, and without spending spirit stones, he can continue to improve the cultivation of the primordial spirit.
Ye Chen tensed his nerves.
A sixth-level disciple in the Qi refining period like him, in a big sect of Yunzhou Immortal Sect like the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, there are a lot of them. One more is not too much, one less is not too much. His current strength is still too weak and too weak. As for the top name of the Chongzhen Demon Tower, almost every year, one enters the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, except for having some more spiritual fields, it will not give him much benefit from this. Only when you have cultivated your strength will you be valued by the Immortal Gate.
"Now there is less than a year left before the exam, and we must seize all the time to practice. I am still three levels away from the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period! Cultivation needs to be grasped, and spell cultivation must also be grasped. ”
Ye Chen secretly gritted his teeth.
Ye Chen did chores every day, and after two months, he finally received a sum of nearly five thousand spirit stones from the Dawn Chamber of Commerce in Immortal City. The elixir he consigned back was worth five thousand spirit stones, which was exactly the same amount. This spirit stone greatly alleviated his spirit stone's embarrassing situation.
Also sent was a joint letter from Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli, Feng Yan and others.
The situation of the Chamber of Commerce is not optimistic, after the Dawn Chamber of Commerce was established in Xiancheng, it was immediately squeezed out by several major herb shops in the city. Although considering that Ye Chen, a disciple of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, was the president of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, the major medicine stores did not act openly, but they suppressed it secretly.
The elixir fields around Immortal City were almost all controlled by the big families and the medicine store, and the Dawn Chamber of Commerce could not enter any supply at all. The wild elixirs picked by the scattered monks outside the immortal city were directly snapped up at a high price by the medicine store.
The Dawn Chamber of Commerce has a weak capital and cannot compete with the big medicine stores, and as a result, there are almost no herbs to sell in the store. Zhu Dahao and a group of dozens of chamber of commerce brothers all went to the wild to collect medicines, but the amount of wild elixirs collected every day was extremely limited.
Fortunately, after Ye Chen entered the Immortal Gate, he immediately consigned back a batch of spiritual herbs, which greatly alleviated the situation of the small chamber of commerce. The Dawn Chamber of Commerce has a batch of elixirs to sell, so as not to fall into the situation where the store is open, but there is no elixir to sell.
Now, the Dawn Chamber of Commerce is just struggling to support it, except for various expenses such as shop rent, it can hardly earn many spirit stones, and it still sticks more than a hundred spirit stones upside down a month. If it continues, I'm afraid it won't take half a year to close down.
"These big medicine shops in Immortal City really suppressed it. The Dawn Chamber of Commerce was suppressed, which was expected. It's just that I didn't expect to be so ferocious, and directly cut off the supply of goods, if it weren't for me to transport some spiritual herbs back to buy them, I'm afraid that the Dawn Small Chamber of Commerce would have closed down directly. ”
Ye Chen frowned.
"There's no way to solve this dilemma for a while. But we must not let the Dawn Chamber of Commerce go out of business! Otherwise, our biggest and most secure financial path will be cut off!"
Ye Chen lifted the jade ink pen on the table and wrote a reply letter with a wave of the pen. Let Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli, Feng Yan and the others insist that he transport back the elixir worth five thousand spirit stones every month, and take out five hundred of them to support the use of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, and let them figure out the rest by themselves.
The reason why he only transported the elixir worth five thousand spirit stones back was also after careful calculation. This amount is not large, it is almost enough for his various expenses for two or three months, and it only accounts for a very small share of the herb trade in Immortal City. The major medicine stores in Xiancheng are just crowding out, and they have not yet fought back.
If the amount is too large, with the weak strength of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, forcibly snatching food from the tiger's mouth will not be able to withstand the full blow of the Immortal City Great Medicine Store. The most important thing for the Dawn Chamber of Commerce now is to gain a firm foothold in Immortal City, and everything else will wait until his cultivation strength is strong.
