Chapter 6: Encounter at the Market after get off work. Walking on the way home from Lingfu Pavilion, Xiao Changqing walked briskly and his mood became cheerful. In another month, his route home will change. I will never go to the most remote and least spiritual shantytowns again. The matter of his regularization has been officially finalized, and Manager Hong has also announced Xiao Changqing's regularization to all the staff in the pavilion. The dozen or so exclusive talisman masters of Lingfu Pavilion did not have any feelings about this and just listened casually. After all, they are high up. But for most temporary workers, the eyes they looked at Xiao Changqing were full of envy and jealousy. This kid is only at the second level of Qi training, how come he was promoted to a regular employee? You should know that among the temporary workers in Lingfu Pavilion, there are cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining! It must be Manager Hong who helped this kid get in through the back door! Is there some hidden close relationship between these two people? Could it be that Xiao Changqing is the illegitimate son left behind by Manager Hong in the mortal world? All kinds of malicious speculations emerged in the minds of many temporary workers.
But when Shopkeeper Hong announced that Xiao Changqing had a talent as a talisman master and could draw several basic talismans with a very high success rate, all doubts and speculations disappeared. When it comes to things like talent, what else can we say except envy, jealousy and hatred? The matter was settled. When he goes to work tomorrow, Xiao Changqing will have his own small studio in Lingfu Pavilion. If he needs any tools or materials, he can just tell Lingfu Pavilion in advance and they will prepare them for him. The salary will definitely be paid next month. In the world of immortal cultivation, there will be no boss who pays the salary before the work starts. The housing subsidy can be paid immediately as long as Xiao Changqing moves. But Xiao Changqing is penniless now and cannot move. I can only consider moving out of the shantytown after I get my salary next month. As for asking Manager Hong to borrow some spirit stones? Xiao Changqing wouldn't be so lacking in sense of distance and propriety. Manager Hong gave him the talisman master's notes every two months, which changed Xiao Changqing's fate and made him his benefactor. It doesn't mean that the two of them have a good relationship or a personal relationship. Xiao Changqing was made a full-time employee today, which was also the result of Xiao Changqing's own efforts. If he didn't know how to draw talismans, Manager Hong would not make him a regular employee. So Xiao Changqing endured for a month and would not borrow spirit stones. You can't take other people's kindness to you for granted, otherwise it will become a case of resentment. Xiao Changqing himself hates people who don't know their limits the most, so naturally he won't become such a person. In addition, can you draw talismans and sell them to earn spirit stones? This path is not feasible now.
After signing the contract, he became a formal employee of Lingfu Pavilion. It was stipulated in the contract that during the time he worked at Lingfu Pavilion, all the talismans drawn by Xiao Changqing would belong to Lingfu Pavilion. Lingfu Pavilion will give a certain amount of compensation, which is equivalent to a share of the profits. But if you sell it privately, you are violating the contract. What do you think Lingfu Pavilion will do to you? Xiao Changqing accepted the contract and naturally abided by the rules. If you sell talismans by yourself, you will earn more spirit stones for each one, but the Spiritual Talisman Pavilion will also provide you with materials, and even allow you to make losses within a certain range, and give you various benefits. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there is no such thing as getting without giving. Moreover, for Xiao Changqing now, Lingfu Pavilion provides what he needs most is a backer! He has a cheat code and an inventory, so he has a promising future. But now he is too weak. In the past few days, he has been living cautiously, not daring to do anything out of the ordinary, not daring to wander around, and even more daring not to seek revenge. His current strength is that of the weakest ant in the world of immortal cultivation, and he has no sense of security at all. After becoming a formal employee of Lingfu Pavilion, with the token in hand, he finally felt a little safe. For example, when he meets Zhou Yun'e's mistress, Hu Youquan, even if Xiao Changqing offended him, he would not dare to be as unscrupulous as before. "I don't know what Zhou Yun'e would feel when she knew that I was hired as a regular employee of Lingfu Pavilion, getting paid at least 20 low-grade spirit stones every month, and would soon move out of the shantytown. Would she regret it?" Xiao Changqing thought to himself. There is no better way to take revenge than for your ex to see you succeeding and living a life ten or a hundred times better than hers, making her envy and look up to you. Of course, Xiao Changqing cannot meet this condition now. Hu Youquan was a local monk who had accumulated wealth for two generations. He had a small house in a Class D cave with fixed property rights. He also had two shops that he could collect rent from. Although this person has no outstanding abilities or prospects, and is despised by many people in the local cultivator circle, it must be said that he has been at the pinnacle of pursuit for countless casual cultivators since he was born. Even though Xiao Changqing has now been hired as a full-time employee of Lingfu Pavilion and passed the civil servant examination, his future seems to be brighter and more promising than Hu Youquan's. But if he only did this and could not go any further, then decades later his savings would be far less than Hu Youquan's. Unless, in the future Xiao Changqing's talisman skills advance and he becomes the exclusive talisman master of Lingfu Pavilion. Then Hu Youquan would be crushed in all aspects from status to income. "Don't worry, this day won't be far away." For others, going from basic talismans to advanced talismans may seem like a small step, but the gap is very large. Even if one is quite talented, it still takes several years or even more than ten years of hard practice, spending day and night in the studio drawing talismans to improve experience and proficiency. But for Xiao Changqing, perhaps it is just a difference of one piece of equipment! Today, I touched Manager Hong's talisman-making pen, and the inventory reacted, allowing Xiao Changqing to roughly guess the conditions of the equipment in the inventory. Expensive magic weapons and spiritual objects may not necessarily be equipped in the inventory. The inventory focuses more on the "connotation" and "background" of the item itself! For example, Baibaolou, the most famous magic weapon shop in Nanshanfang, which is known for its high-quality products, is also the "luxury store" that Zhou Yun'e has always dreamed of. Their magic weapons are of high quality and powerful, but they may not be able to be stored in the inventory.
Because the products sold by Baibaolou are all newly refined and first-hand goods. On the contrary, some cheap street goods that have been passed on countless times are more useful to Xiao Changqing. "How about going to the street market and see if we can find any treasures?" Nanshanfang is not a large fairy city, but it occupies a large area. For example, from Lingfu Pavilion, which is located in the prime location of Fangshi, to the shantytown on the edge of Fangshi where Xiao Changqing currently lives, it would take more than half an hour even if one used Qinggong to travel. Therefore, in such a gathering place for cultivators, in addition to the "large shopping malls" such as Baibaolou and Lingfu Pavilion that focus on high-quality goods, there are also many "supermarkets" and markets where the quality of the goods varies greatly and all depends on luck and vision. He felt the remaining thirty-nine grains of spiritual sand in his pocket, and after some calculations, he decided that he might as well try his luck. The market is different from the store, the unit price is at least in Lingshi. Thirty-nine grains of Lingsha can buy a lot of things. About an incense stick later, Xiao Changqing arrived at the market closest to the shantytown where he lived. From a distance, you can feel the bustling crowd and the endless sounds of hawking. In addition to the small vendors selling all kinds of rare items on both sides of the street, there are also many people pushing carts selling all kinds of food! Most of these foods are not spiritual food, but special snacks from various countries in the secular world. Although these foods cannot provide spiritual energy or increase your cultivation, they taste very good and make you hungry just by smelling them. Moreover, the price is relatively cheap, and three or two grains of Lingsha can satisfy your appetite. "Why does this Xiuxian Market feel like a farmer's market?" Xiao Changqing was dazzled by the various food hawked, but he resisted the urge to taste the food and focused on his business first. Even a grain of spiritual sand is very important to him now. But before he could go into the market to start shopping, the crowd in front of him suddenly became a commotion. Xiao Changqing subconsciously looked in the direction of the noise, and saw a flying sword steadily stopped above the market. A noble young male monk, whose attire did not belong in the market, and a beautiful, oval-faced, intellectual female monk walked down gracefully from it. "What a coincidence, we can meet here?" Xiao Changqing was stunned. The man and woman who came down from the flying sword were none other than the neighbor female cultivator Lin Ziyu, and the noble male cultivator whom Xiao Changqing had met last time and who should be Lin Ziyu's suitor. ~ (Thanks to the book friend 'like wsy' for the reward!
