Chapter 24 Tiangong Workshop
Tiangongfang is a famous place in Wushan League.
It is said that it is famous because of its unique status. Most of the workshops in the shop are treasure refining factories that produce magical instruments and real instruments, and there are also many treasures and treasures that are sold and processed, supplying several sects and families in the south.
A Tiangongfang supports the entire Wushan League’s treasury.
"The owners of Tiangongfang's past dynasties are not only a place in the alliance, but can even control the candidates of the alliance and decide more than half of the major events in the alliance. In the entire Wushan League, there are more than 40% of the small and medium-sized families, and casual cultivators rely on them to make a living and practice. More than 70% of the alliance's business names, shops, and the source of goods are all here..."
"So, this Tiangongfang is really amazing?"
After hearing Xing Tongfang's explanation, Li Wan was stunned for a while before coming to his senses.
But after he came back to his senses, he became calm again.
No matter what the workshop is like this day, it has nothing to do with him. What he cares about is why it recruits servants.
"This time it seems to be related to the Yuchan Palace in the west. Some days ago, when we were in seclusion and practicing, Tiangongfang and Yuchan Palace agreed to build a large number of materials and start working hard to refine magic weapons."
"Isn't Tiangongfang in Wushanmeng a big shop? How can I rush to start work and practice and need outsiders to help me?"
"With the strength of Tiangongfang, of course, it can be done by itself, but this year is a bit different. This year, there are several weapon refiners in the workshop going out for a while and they will not be called back. The apprentices and the remaining weapon refiners in the workshop have to speed up the work.
Even so, there was no need to help the servants, but Tiangongfang was really unlucky. When he was rushing to work, he accidentally poured out a molten iron and burned a weapon refiner to death. Several good weapon refiners immediately went on strike. The elders who usually had a lot of resentment towards the owner also took the opportunity to cause trouble... In short, it caused internal and external troubles and had to launch all their strength."
"So Tiangongfang plans to recruit helpers to help them complete the simple part of refining weapons, and then rely on the remaining refiners who can be mobilized to calm this incident?"
"Yes, now, there is no way. Tiangongfang has a very good status, but how did this status come about? It is not because it can supply a large amount of spiritual jade and magic weapons to the alliance every year? These things are their life roots, and this life roots are in the hands of those customers who can afford spiritual jade. Even if the situation is not good, they have to be completed..."
It sounds very complicated, but after listening to it, Li Wan and Shi Haoguang both realized something.
The workshop is so rich that it is a big customer. What is particularly rare is that it is still in a hurry to recruit people and is willing to spend a lot of money.
"It seems that this matter is a great benefit. I still have hundreds of spiritual jades now. If I use them all, I will have to drink the northwest wind..."
Li Wan nodded and said it was clear, and asked Xing Tongfang again: "What is the situation? Let's hear it?"
Xing Tongfang said: "It says that experienced masters of arts are preferred, and the treatment is generous. Others are all sorted out and settled daily."
Li Wan looked at it and said, "It turns out that... it is not necessary that all of it be completed by the weapon refiner himself. For example, refining a sword, sword thigh, sword hilt, sword spear, sword sheath, sword sheath, etc. are very different from the main body of the sword body. A robes also require the assistance of a tailor and embroiderer, and some processes can be completed by even mortal craftsmen."
Ordinary people think that refining magic weapons is a matter of a master of weapon art, and mortals cannot do it. However, they do not know that the real secret of magic weapons lies in the treasures of heaven and earth, in the magic arrays and prohibitions. These parts can only be completed by monks who are familiar with the art of refining weapons, that is, weapon refiners, but other simple processes still need to be started by mortals or ordinary monks.
For example, adding patterns, tailoring and sewing on the robes, and carrying loads, blowing and applauding the fire, of course, these rough tasks are not required to be completed by the weapon refiner.
Some simple magic weapons can be completed only by relying on natural and earth treasures with magical functions, and there is no need for weapon refiners to intervene.
Moreover, the skills of mortal craftsmen may not be worse than those of weapon refiners in many aspects. What they lack is more the magical powers and means of the people in the Xuanmen.
Because of this, Tiangongfang can recruit a large number of servants to rescue emergency services when necessary.
If you can recruit experts who know the art of the art, and if you have the art, you will be able to survive the crisis.
"Anyway, let's see it there."
Both agreed with Xing Tongfang's proposal, so they went there together.
Tiangongfang is located on the back of the mountain city, occupying a corner of the northwest. You can see it from afar, with a large group of people crowded at the door.
"So many people." Shi Haoguang was shocked.
"Of course." Xing Tongfang was not surprised at all, and he had already expected it. "Tiangongfang is a big shop in Wushan League after all, and the alliance cannot ask it to be destroyed. It is necessary to help the gang, and the casual cultivators in the alliance can make a fortune, so why not do it?"
While talking, Li Wan had already gone up to inquire, but saw a monk in the yard who looked like a deacon, loudly preaching to the crowd about their conditions for recruiting tutors and their remuneration income.
"Most of them are robes and swords, Ruyi Bags, Spirit Talismans, Jade Talismans," Li Wan said when he heard the deacon's shouting.
"Yuchan Palace recently recruited a new group of disciples from the outer courtyard, and the inventory was probably not much." Xing Tongfang said.
"Are these magic weapons actually used by disciples from the outer courtyard?"
When Li Wan heard this, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
In the righteous gate, I had the opportunity to become a disciple of the outer academy. If I were selected that time, I would probably receive these robes and swords at this time, and I would be full of energy.
The righteous gate is in the cave and is rich, so naturally he will not spend his energy on this, and he is mostly customized to a casual cultivator alliance like Wushan League.
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't think about those things. Now you have entered the world and settle down. If you make a name for yourself, you will still be able to live a free and comfortable life in the future. If you can't make it out, you will also be stepped on by someone in the sect." Shi Haoguang patted him.
Li Wan smiled bitterly and said nothing.
The three of them scrambled in the crowd for a while and finally found out that the Tiangongfang paid the servants very generously.
Anyone who carves jade talismans and inscribes Taoist patterns will pay the wages depending on the situation, ranging from five spirit stones to thirty spirit stones. Anyone who forges the sword body, a fifteen spirit jade, a tailoring robes, and a twenty spirit jade. If someone who is familiar with the art of weapon can recruit apprentices or even weapon refiners.
"So that's what I calculated, it's pretty good, much thicker than usual." Xing Tongfang's eyes lit up.
"Two fellow Taoists, this is great?" Li Wan asked.
"It's already excellent. It seems that Tiangongfang is really in a hurry. We can make a small profit." Xing Tongfang said.
Shi Haoguang said at this time: "Fellow Daoist Li, don't you know how to refine weapons? Why don't you try to recruit apprentices or refiners?"
"I'll try it?" Li Wan felt a little nervous, but she couldn't help but feel excited.
Yes, I have the "Classic of the Artifacts" in my own hands. Instead of practicing in the sect, it is better to enter this Tiangongfang to practice the real way of refining weapons.
Although the artifact belongs to the side sect and is not the right way to cultivate life, if you can achieve something, it will be a smooth road, and you will never be worse than those Nascent Soul masters and sect elders!
"Just try it. I got the "Classic of the Qizong", so I should have taken this path. What's wrong with using Qi to enter the Tao?"
Li Wan had actually thought that he had been promoted to the middle stage of Qi Refining and had the foundation for practicing magical powers and magical techniques. However, as a casual cultivator, there was no support from sects and families behind him. If he wanted to practice magical powers and magical techniques, he would be sad to ascend to heaven.
This can be seen from the Qi-Pushinging Skills given by Chiyang Gate that this kind of thing is easy to get, but there is no real superior secret technique.
It is much wiser to earn the opportunity to achieve enlightenment on one road.
"I have the "Classic of the Artifacts" in my hand. Although I am not very familiar with it, the virtual treasure seal that I have put in recent work is the basis for refining weapons. All kinds of seals and Taoist patterns have gained.
In addition to practicing the virtual treasure seal, I also incorporated some parts that are not secret techniques, which are mostly knowledge and experience, and are very useful.
Although these are only insignificant parts compared to the entire "Genuine Chronicle", they can be said to be extremely clever compared to other weapon refiners. This is like a disciple of a sect who practices one or two magical powers and can become a master. I have never heard of it. I have to learn all the secrets of the entire Sutra Pavilion."
Li Wan thought carefully and felt that he had the "Classic of the Art of the Art of the Art" and had a great future in this art of art, which was no less than the direct descendants of those sects and aristocratic families, but on other ways, it was much worse. It was just the level of ordinary casual cultivators, so there was no need to consider how to choose.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but frown again.
It is true that the virtual treasure seal is the basis for refining weapons, but I have just entered the middle stage of refining Qi and have not even practiced the real refining magical powers. How can I refine weapons?
There are fire refining methods, medicine refining methods, heaven refining methods, earth refining methods... Many secret techniques are all recorded in the "Classic of the Artifacts", and there are even enough magic weapon maps to refer to. However, I have just entered the middle stage of Qi refining and it is too late to rest for a few days. What's the use of having these?
There is no time to practice!
To put it bluntly, everything I had imagined was still just a castle in the sky.
"Have..."
Just when he was in a dilemma, another thought flashed through Li Wan's mind and he immediately had an idea.
"Come on one by one... don't squeeze on one by one... don't squeeze on one by one..."
The deacons of Tiangongfang recorded the casual cultivators who came to apply for the recruitment. Soon after, it was finally Li Wan and others' turn.
Shi Haoguang and Xing Tongfang were quickly taken away. They had to pay the deposit first, collect the workpieces, and take them back to complete them. Just settle them on a daily basis. However, after they left, Li Wan said to the deacon: "Don't hurry to write it down, I'm not here to apply for the help."
The deacon said in surprise: "You should not recruit a servant, that's because you are here..."
Li Wan said: "I am a weapon refiner."
