Chapter 3: Snakes Have Their Own Path
Manager Wu also reminded Sun Zecheng not to make any noise when he went out and to keep his mouth shut!
Sun Zecheng knew that Manager Wu was worried that Manager Ye would come to his senses and make a fuss, so he naturally agreed!
Not long after this was done, Manager Ye also successfully dealt with Han Li and brought him to the main hall for face-to-face confirmation! Han Li's foundation-building pill was given to Manager Ye's nephew! Manager Ye was responsible for compensating Han Li!
This time, the problem was solved so easily that the best of both worlds was achieved. Sect Leader Zhong couldn't help but praise Manager Wu: "Manager Wu is indeed a wise man. You should work hard. I am getting old! From now on, all matters of the Yellow Maple Valley will be handled by you, Manager Wu!"
Manager Wu waved his hand and did not take credit for it, but he was actually very happy in his heart!
"The matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill has been settled. From today on, little friends Sun and Han are disciples of our sect. Junior brother Wang, please arrange accommodation for them and explain the sect rules to them. Let them practice with the disciples who are passing on the skills first. If they have outstanding performance, they will be promoted separately!" Zhong Lingdao was in a good mood and turned to give instructions to junior brother Wang.
"Yes, Master!" Uncle Wang took Sun Zecheng and Han Li with him and went downstairs to first collect storage bags, clothes, basic magical instruments, etc., and then took them to meet Wu Feng, who was responsible for passing on skills to new disciples.
Then, Uncle Wang conscientiously took Han Li and Sun Zecheng to several other necessary places, introduced several deacons to them, and told them some daily precautions. Finally, he took them back to the stone house group where the gray-clothed old man was, and let them choose a stone room as their residence, and then said goodbye to them and went back alone.
Although Sun Zecheng and Han Li followed Uncle Wang around the whole time, they didn't say anything to each other and just looked at each other a few times.
As a time traveler who is familiar with the original novel of "A Mortal", Sun Zecheng knows very well that no man who gets close to Han Li will have a good ending!
The only exception was Li Feiyu! That was because he was destined to have a short life and would not live for many years! After Han Li turned 18, the two sides parted ways!
Other men who were close to Han Li, even Wu Feng, who had helped Han Li and was recognized by Han Li, did not receive any reward from Han Li! Han Li had so many pills in his pocket that they were moldy that he would not give a single one to Wu Feng! Han Li knew that the Spirit Beast Mountain had rebelled and was preparing to escape, but he did not even think of telling Wu Feng! He never thought of Wu Feng at all!
With this scientific statistical conclusion, Sun Zecheng would not try to cling to Han Li!
Making friends should be scientific!
Besides, Sun Zecheng was still thinking about when to rob Han Li! After killing Master Jin Guang, he thought about whether he should go find Han Li!
Therefore, it is most scientific for everyone not to interact with each other! In order to avoid being too familiar with each other and being embarrassed to take action!
As for Han Li, he is the kind of person who can ruthlessly abandon even his family in pursuit of immortality, and he has no interest in socializing at all!
Unless you need help from others, for example, when you ask for advice from Monk Kusang on drawing talismans at the Tainan meeting, you will forget about it afterwards without any lingering feelings! Unless you are a beautiful woman!
So, after both sides looked at each other for a few seconds, they said nothing and went their separate ways!
Soon Han Li ran to the "Bai Ji Tang" and, under the care of Manager Ye, took over the task of looking after the Qingshiling Hundred Medicine Garden. He moved out of the stone houses and lived in the Hundred Medicine Garden.
"What should I do?" Looking at Han Li's leaving figure, Sun Zecheng also began to think about what kind of odd jobs he should take.
Han Li chose the medicine garden because he had a cheating bottle, but Sun Zecheng had nothing! However, new disciples have a month to get familiar with the situation. Sun Zecheng thought about it and decided to go to Senior Brother Wu Feng to learn some basic spells first. He knew too few spells! He also asked around about the differences between chores.
A month passed quickly, and Sun Zecheng also made his own scientific choice!
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Manager Ye was not at home and Deacon Yu was the only one in the "Bai Ji Tang", Sun Zecheng walked into the "Bai Ji Tang".
"Brother Yu, I'm here to take on the odd jobs, but I don't have any special skills, so after much thought, I can only work as a steward disciple in the market run by our sect."
"This is not easy to handle. All disciples who come to receive tasks have to do whatever work is assigned to them. They are not allowed to be picky! Unless..." Deacon Yu was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt a small bag in his hand.
After weighing it, it turned out to be ten spiritual stones. The basic monthly income of these low-level disciples is two to three spiritual stones. This kid took out ten spiritual stones to show his filial piety, which was sincere enough! Of course, Deacon Yu thought so because he didn't know that Sun Zecheng had received a huge compensation!
"But I think my junior brother is mature and experienced in his conduct. He is suitable to be a deacon in the market town!" Deacon Yu immediately changed his words.
Look, what is science? Giving away spiritual stones for doing things is science!
The worst thing about being a deacon in the market town is that you don’t have much time to practice!
Usually, only cultivators who have reached a certain age and have no hope of building a foundation are willing to go, so the competition is not that fierce!
Deacon Yu can do odd jobs in the market!
In this way, Sun Zecheng became a deacon of the Huangfeng Valley Market.
Taking the opportunity to learn from Wu Feng, Sun Zecheng had already found out everything.
There is a way to make some profit from every chore!
As the saying goes: Snakes have their own paths, and rats have their own ways!
For those who cultivate spiritual plants, like Han Li, besides having plenty of time to practice, he relies on cheating bottles and hands them over, but he keeps all the ripened spiritual herbs for himself!
Those who raise spiritual beasts privately rent out the spiritual beasts or secretly extract the blood of low-level monsters and sell it to make talisman ink and cinnabar to make money!
It is normal for people who mine spiritual ore to carry scattered spiritual stones. The craziest thing is that a group of people get along for a long time and collude to privately mine spiritual stones and divide them up! They are stealing from the public! So much so that all sects have to adopt multi-party cross-mixed supervision to avoid collusion!
As for working in the market, the biggest advantage is that as an "insider" you can buy things at the internal price!
Even better, after becoming a "consul's disciple", you can get the deal at the purchase price!
For example, the retail price of a primary intermediate diamond talisman is nine spiritual stones, but the internal price is seven spiritual stones! The purchase price is six spiritual stones!
Sun Zecheng's "Deacon Disciple" status can be purchased at the price of seven Spiritual Stones per copy, saving two Spiritual Stones compared to the retail price! This is the benefit!
If it is a consul's disciple, he can simply add the quantity he needs to purchase when purchasing, and then he can easily buy it at the purchase price! Even cheaper!
Some disciples who do odd jobs in the market buy first and then sell them at a higher price, making a profit from the difference. Of course, they do it secretly! They can't make a big business, but they can still make dozens of spirit stones a year!
Han Li, you are lucky. You have a cheating bottle. You can go to the Hundred Medicine Garden and secretly ripen your elixir!
I, Sun Zecheng, don't have a cheating bottle, but I have a large amount of compensation for scientifically processing the foundation-building pill! So I chose to do chores in the market!
At least this way you can save a lot of money on purchasing!
What's more, there are other ulterior motives!
Hehe, snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways!
