A thousand yellow Tang Tongbao are strung together, which is called a string of money, also known as a string. This is the money Zhang Cundao just got from pawning the items. He doesn't know what the purchasing power of this string of money is.
It's easy to know the purchasing power of this money, just ask about food, clothing, housing and transportation. There happened to be an inn opposite the bank, so Zhang Cundao went to ask about the accommodation fee. An ordinary room costs ten cents a day, and a good room costs
Thirty cents a day, and the best guest room costs 120 cents a day. This thousand cents can stay for three months in an ordinary room, but only one month in a good room.
It seems that the purchasing power is not bad. Zhang Cundao thought about it in his mind for a while. But he turned around and looked at his large family and shook his head. Of course, single people are not afraid of it, but they are not afraid of people with a family.
This thousand yuan won't last long.
Just when Zhang Cundao was thinking about prices, the nine-tailed fox on one side suddenly said: "Look, it's so lively over there. What's there for?"
Zhang Cundao was startled by her words and turned his head to look over. He saw a large group of people gathered at the door of a building. Everyone looked inside the building eagerly, as if they were waiting for something. They entered one by one, and then one by one.
People who come out are disappointed, while people who go in are full of hope.
Zhang Cundao couldn't help but walked over. He pulled a monk beside him who was also watching and said, "Fellow Taoist, what are you doing?"
The man looked at Zhang Cundao with some displeasure, but seeing Zhang Cundao's majestic appearance, he still explained: "This is Qianhuan Sect recruiting people." He said this and stopped talking, which made Zhang Cundao even more curious.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly separated, and an arrogant young man came out. He looked around, and then said: "We will no longer accept ordinary members of the church. From now on, we will only accept those with certain skills, not those without any skills."
People can leave."
After hearing what he said, some people showed regret on their faces, and then turned around and left, but most of the people still stayed and looked at the young man with hopeful eyes.
"May I ask your Excellency, I can tie paper, is this considered a skill?" asked a monk with a simple face.
"You know how to tie paper? What kind of paper do you tie? Does it have any magical effect?" the man asked.
"This is my family's craft. I can make paper figures, paper boats, and paper dragons. The paper figures can move, the paper boats can swim, and the paper dragons can fly. I don't know if that counts," the man continued.
When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up slightly and he said, "This skill is quite interesting. Okay, go in and sign up."
After he finished speaking, the man's face showed a look of joy, and then he thanked the young man and got into the attic. The young man looked around and said, "Is there anyone else who has a skill? Qianhuan Sect is
Great Teacher, the salary is quite good. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to meet it in the future."
He asked twice in succession, but still no one answered. The young man shook his head and whispered: "After all, it is a border port. There are many tricks and few real skills." After saying this, he was about to enter the attic. Then Zhang Cundao said
He opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder if I can recruit an alchemist?"
The young man who heard this paused for a moment, and then he turned his head to look at Zhang Cundao. He saw Zhang Cundao looking at him with a smile on his face, calm and indifferent. And beside him was a beautiful female nun, who looked like
It may be his Taoist companion. And his Taoist companion is accompanied by two young girls, one is young and ignorant, and the other is generous. Judging from their expressions, they look like two maids.
Behind the maid is a tall and strong man. Although this man is well hidden, he still feels a trace of evil spirit. It seems that this man is this person's evil servant. From this point of view, this is the family of the monk who spoke.
He came from other places and came to Datang to make a living.
The moment this young man saw Zhang Cundao and the others, he analyzed it in his mind. In his opinion, Zhang Cundao and the others were like a family who had some skills in a small place and then moved their family to a big city to seek better development. Because in the
He has some skills in a small place, so he has developed some generosity and calmness, and is not as timid as others. Judging from his appearance, he should have some extra money, but definitely not much. There is money in a small place, but if you look at it in a big place
, that is, a little better than the homeless man.
After such an analysis, the young man from Qianhuan Sect was convinced that the person in front of him must have some abilities, and his family was stable. So he said, "Is this fellow Taoist an alchemist?"
Zhang Cundao nodded: "Exactly, I am also proficient in alchemy."
After hearing this, the young man couldn't help but feel a little funny. How could the monks from this small place know any advanced alchemy skills? This talk of being proficient in alchemy is nothing more than putting gold on his face and trying to promote himself. In his heart
Hehehe smiled, he had seen this kind of country cunningness many times.
But after all, he was from a great religion and he still had basic self-cultivation, so he said: "In that case, if you invite fellow Taoists, we will naturally have someone to evaluate you."
Zhang Cundao nodded, then said something to the nine-tailed foxes behind him, and walked into the attic.
This loft is actually a local dental shop, which specializes in various guarantees, contracts, and recruitment. It is considered a human resources company. But today, this dental shop is rented by people from the Qianhuan Sect, and the people sitting inside are all from the Qianhuan Sect.
people.
A man who looked like a manager waved to Zhang Cundao, and then asked: "Can you make alchemy?"
Zhang Cundao nodded, then took out a 'Liuwei Dihuang Pill' from his arms and said, "I refined this."
The housekeeper picked up the Liuwei Dihuang Pill, looked at it, smelled it, scraped a little bit of the powder and tasted it. Although his face remained calm, his heart was filled with excitement.
'This elixir seems to be very good. It seems to be useful for the water element and to replenish yin and strengthen yang.'
The steward nodded and returned the elixir to Zhang Cundao, but frowned and said, "This is indeed a good elixir, but how do you prove that you refined it?"
Zhang Cundao said with a smile: "Can this be faked? I can make a furnace of elixirs for you on the spot."
Alchemy on the spot? Is this person so confident? The manager raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and gave Zhang Cundao a high look. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. We have a tight schedule, so I'm afraid we don't have time to see it."
You make alchemy..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cundao took out an alchemy furnace from his arms, and then he threw it away. The alchemy furnace fell to the ground and grew in size, turning into an alchemy furnace as tall as a person. This alchemy furnace was transformed by his wishful thinking.
Yes, it is not difficult to master the transformation of Ruyi into an alchemy furnace.
Seeing Zhang Cundao's power, the manager was stunned. He quickly said: "You want to make elixirs here?"
Zhang Cundao looked at him strangely and said, "Isn't this okay?"
The steward looked at him in surprise and said, "Don't you alchemists have to pay attention to the balance of yin and yang, the environment is elegant, the mood is peaceful, and the time is right before you can start the furnace to make alchemy?"
Zhang Cundao looked at him as if he were a fool and said: "What does all this you are talking about have to do with alchemy? As long as there is an alchemy furnace, medicinal materials can be used to refine elixirs. How can there be so much stinking and exquisiteness."
When he heard this, the steward's face turned green and red, as if he was constipated. After a long while, he held back a sentence and said, "Then we don't have time to wait for you to make the elixir."
"Can't wait even a quarter of an hour? Are you in a hurry?" Zhang Cundao asked in surprise.
"It only takes you a quarter of an hour to make the elixir?" the steward also asked in surprise, and then he said: "It doesn't take 7,749 days, or 8,864 days, it takes at least 4,416 days to come out of the furnace.
?"
"There is no such thing as some elixirs. Some elixirs take more time, but some elixirs can be made in half a day. Because I am good at refining Liuwei Dihuang Pills, I can make one in about a quarter of an hour. By the way, you alchemists
Who told you the knowledge, why does it sound like they are trying to trick you?"
Zhang Cundao's words were like a knife piercing into the heart of the steward. He moved his mouth slightly, with an intriguing expression on his face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "You can practice, I'll watch."
Zhang Cundao nodded. He first touched the alchemy furnace, which was very happy. Then a little blazing flame popped up into the fire chamber. This flame grew when the wind blew, and soon it burned blazingly.
Zhang Cundao waited for a while, then took out a few medicinal materials from his arms and threw them into the alchemy chamber at will. He covered the furnace lid and activated the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy chamber of the alchemy furnace began to rotate. He thought again, in the fire chamber
The blazing flames burst out violently, and several tongues of flame spewed out from the fire eyes of the fire chamber. The alchemy furnace was instantly burned red, and the alchemy chamber was spinning like a centrifuge, constantly making "whooshing" sounds.
sound.
The steward on the other side was even more astonished. He was not an ignorant person. On the contrary, he happened to be responsible for alchemy matters in the sect and specifically contacted the alchemists in the sect. It was not like he had never seen the alchemists making elixirs.
.However, those alchemists always carefully tended the fire, accurately calculated the time and quantity of the medicine, and fanned the flames with pious faces. Their alchemy was more like a mysterious ritual, praying to God to give them a perfect furnace.
of elixirs.
As for the person in front of me, I don’t know if he’s going the wrong way or if he’s just a farmer. His alchemy is more like cooking. He turns up the fire as much as he wants, uses the ingredients and the medicine as he pleases. There’s nothing on his face.
His pious expression and behavior were not cautious. He even had the thought to pull a chair from the side and sit on it!
This completely subverted the steward's understanding of alchemy. At this moment, what he thought of was those alchemists who were as pious as believers, being refined by the flaming alchemy furnace in front of him!
Not long after Zhang Cundao sat down, the alchemy furnace began to buzz and tremble, and a trace of medicinal fragrance came out. Zhang Cundao then moved his hand, and the fire in the fire chamber suddenly became smaller, and finally turned into a small flame and disappeared. But the alchemy chamber
At this time, it turned faster and made a "buzzing" sound.
A faint medicinal fragrance gradually filled the air. At this moment, Zhang Cundao waved his hand, and the top cover of the alchemy furnace was lifted. A dozen pills the size of soybeans rose into the sky, and Zhang Cundao grabbed him.
"It's done!" the steward murmured to himself. Then he immediately came over and stared at the elixir in Zhang Cundao's hand.
Zhang Cundao handed him one and said, "Check it."
The steward quickly scraped off a little powder and tasted it. Then his eyes widened suddenly. He bowed deeply to Zhang Cundao and said, "I have opened my eyes today. Sir, your alchemy skills are much better than mine."
He is stronger than any alchemist I have ever seen."
Zhang Cundao waved his hand and said, "Nothing but familiarity." In order to feed the demon dragon with kidney deficiency, he made a lot of Liuwei Dihuang pills. In fact, this pill is also useful to him now. If he wants to make a trap,
The fairy sword must strengthen the kidneys. And this elixir can strengthen the kidneys.
Zhang Cundao's behavior would have been considered pretentious a quarter of an hour ago, but a quarter of an hour later, it was the almighty's humility and kindness. The steward bent slightly and said to Zhang Cundao: "Sir, do you want to join our Qianhuan Sect?"
, become our exclusive alchemist?"
This is just like submitting a resume. Zhang Cundao has demonstrated his abilities and has been recognized by the recruiter. Now it's time to talk about joining. After all, Zhang Cundao has been an interviewer for a short time, so he understands this.
He smiled and asked: "What can Qianhuan Sect provide me?"
The steward quickly said: "If you, sir, become our exclusive alchemist, then we will prepare an exclusive small courtyard for you in Tianting Mansion, the capital of God, with a basic remuneration of 5,000 tongbao every month, and every time you help us refine a furnace of pills, sir
Medicine, and extra charcoal fire. If you want to make elixirs yourself, the medicinal materials in the teaching will be provided to you at the cost."
After he said this, he quietly looked at Zhang Cundao, but Zhang Cundao didn't show anything and seemed to be a little dissatisfied?
In fact, Zhang Cundao has no idea about these at all. He doesn't know the value of the exclusive small courtyard in the Divine Capital Tianting Mansion. Five thousand Tongbao doesn't seem to be much. He doesn't know the standard of this charcoal fire filial piety, nor does he know how much it is. As for the cost price provided
Medicinal materials are even more nonsense. Zhang Cundao is not responsible for calculating the cost.
Having said that, five thousand tongbao is the most realistic solution, but a monthly salary of five thousand doesn't sound like much. The basic salary for the clerical staff he just joined at Misty Company was seven thousand, and the technical positions were negotiable, and the basic salary was no.
Less than 10,000. Because of such a high salary, Mist Company has always been the company that graduates most want to join.
Seeing Zhang Cundao's silence, the steward immediately said: "This is something I can guarantee, but my master's level is very good. When I get to the head of the Heavenly Court of God, I will report it to the elders and I should be able to provide you with better treatment.
Please sir, please understand this."
Yes, he is a recruiter. He can naturally handle ordinary interviewers, but when it comes to a technical master like Zhang Cundao, he has to report it to the superiors for decision. Ordinary job seekers can grab a lot, but skilled ones
Dana is not a wild leek that can be cut at will.
Zhang Cundao nodded in agreement, and then said: "By the way, can you introduce Qianhuan Sect to me?"
When the manager heard this, everyone was stunned. You don't even know what Qianhuan Sect is, so you just applied for it? Are you so willful if you have skills?
