Chapter 19 Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger ()
"Junior brother, what's the business of coming here?" Seeing that the young man in front of him didn't look amazing, and his cultivation had only reached the second level of the agility stage, the old man's tone was very cold.
Lin Xuan saw his expressions and actions clearly, and sneered secretly in his heart. He was trash, but he was so powerful. There was really no human kindness between cultivators.
He was extremely contemptuous in his heart, but on the surface, Lin Xuan did not show it at all. Instead, he pretended to be a bit embarrassed and said: "This senior brother, I want to come to the alchemy room to ask for a relaxing job."
As mentioned above, the immortal path is difficult. Even if they have spiritual roots, most people's achievements are limited and they spend their entire lives wandering in the spiritual stage.
Some people are discouraged and do not want to endure hardship or continue to practice, so they will take some easy jobs in the sect and wait to die.
The old man in front of me is one of them.
After listening to Lin Xuan's words, the old man mistakenly thought that the other party was also this kind of person, and this misunderstanding was precisely the result of Lin Xuan's deliberate actions, so as to facilitate the following actions.
"This is difficult to handle!" The old man frowned and looked embarrassed: "Although I am the general manager of chores in Danxia Mountain, all the branch managers below are full, and there is no shortage of people. Junior Brother, please forgive me for this request.
There's nothing I can do to help."
"Hmph, old fox." Lin Xuan cursed in his heart. He was always prudent in doing things and made decisions before taking action. How could he come here without knowing it clearly? He had already quietly inquired about Danxia Mountain a while ago.
There is still a vacancy in the manager's position, and this old guy is deliberately making things difficult.
However, this situation was expected by Lin Xuan. In fact, cultivators are also very corrupt. He did this to make some money and ask for bribes. Lin Xuan had already thought of a countermeasure.
He sneered in his heart and saw the other party's intentions clearly, but on the surface, Lin Xuan still pretended to be a rookie and stammered: "Also... please help me, senior brother. I don't have spiritual roots and can't practice."
It’s hard to achieve anything, so it’s better to be a carefree and carefree person. If senior brother is willing to make it easier for you, this... this, I would like to honor you."
After saying that, Lin Xuan took out a package from his arms, wrapped it layer by layer with cloth, and mysteriously brought it to the old man.
"What is this?" Lin Xuan deliberately pretended to be mysterious, and he succeeded in attracting the old man's attention.
Opening up the layers of cloth, a crystal clear corner was revealed. Although the whole picture was not visible, the old man's face was moved: "Spar?"
Crystals are stones that are rich in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Whether cultivators practice martial arts, make weapons, or fight, the role of crystals is irreplaceable and are used as currency for transactions.
However, the number of crystal mines is scarce, and the mined ones are all occupied by seniors and masters. Most low-level cultivators have seen crystal stones, but there are very few that can own them.
This young man's cultivation is at the second level of the agile stage, and he actually has such a precious thing.
However, after opening all the cloth, his expression became a little disappointed. The package contained not real spar, but only fragments of the spar, about half a piece smaller.
When the crystal is shattered, a lot of the spiritual energy inside will be lost. Originally it was only a small half. After deducting the loss, the spiritual energy remaining in the fragment is only a quarter of that of a complete low-grade crystal.
"This crystal fragment was obtained by chance. If senior brother is willing to grant me the position of steward, I am willing to give it to you."
The old man's heart suddenly became excited. Although it was just a fragment of crystal, for a low-level cultivator like him, it could still be said to be a huge fortune. The job of a steward was just a piece of work.
He pretended to ponder for a moment: "Okay, junior brother is so sincere, how can I not be beautiful as a man?"
After saying that, he took out a notebook and flipped through it: "The Waste Pill Storage Room still lacks a manager, so you can take up the post there."
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. The design was indeed the same as he had originally guessed, but on the surface he showed a troubled expression: "The waste elixir storage room, this..."
Seeing Lin Xuan's expression of embarrassment, as if he wanted to object, the old man said quickly: "Junior brother, you don't know, the job in the waste elixir storage room is the easiest. Don't you want to be free? You will be as happy as a god wherever you go. Senior brother, I have good intentions."
Take care of you."
"Really?" Although he knew that what he said was full of lies, but it was exactly what Lin Xuan wanted, he certainly would not refute, but pretended to believe it: "So that's it, I thought it was useless after hearing it.
No, then thank you, senior brother."
"Haha, junior brother, you don't have to be polite." The old man put the crystal fragments into his arms and called a boy: "This junior brother is now the steward of the waste elixir storage room. You wait for him to go down and collect the waist badge token."
"yes!"
Looking at Lin Xuan's retreating back, the old man showed a proud smile on his face: "The waste elixir storage room is really easy, but there is no oil or water at all. You can get a fragment of crystal for such a rubbish position. You really don't know anything.
The rookie.”
The old man thought he had made money, but he didn't know that Lin Xuan was the biggest beneficiary, and everything today was in his calculation.
Lin Xuan's every word, speech and action has a purpose.
Before coming, he had found out the character of Manager Feng. He was greedy and stingy. He would not do anything if he did not give benefits.
Originally, it was nothing to give her a crystal. After getting the treasures of Zhou Yan and Zhang Yu, Lin Xuan was very rich. However, as an early disciple of Ningming, owning the crystal was too conspicuous. If he was not careful, it would attract the attention of interested people, so Lin Xuan
If you deliberately break the crystal and give him the fragments, you can save half of the crystal, and it will not attract attention, killing two birds with one stone.
The second is a newcomer who pretends to know nothing. Manager Feng is the kind of person who may not do well even if he accepts bribes. If he pretends to be honest and doesn’t understand anything, he will definitely get the worst position.
Fool yourself.
Lin Xuan has investigated and found that because no one needs the waste pill, no one has ever visited its storage room, and there is no oil or water at all. It is the worst management position.
The unscrupulous Manager Feng would definitely trick himself into going there.
This was exactly what Lin Xuan wanted, because he was "cheated" into going there instead of taking the initiative, so he would not attract anyone's attention.
Manager Feng thought he was very smart, but he didn't know that he was completely led by Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan achieved his goal and was the biggest beneficiary.
