Cultivation Of Immortality: Starting From Working As A Cook In A Weapon-Refining Shop

Hong Laodao could no longer care about pirates or not, and asked eagerly.

As for whether the pirate was killed by the other party, does that matter?

"Of course, we are allies." Lu Yu replied with a smile.

"Really?" Hong Laodao and He Xiaoyu couldn't believe it.

Most people would hide this kind of magical defensive cannon, but the other party agreed so easily?

If they had such a defensive network, they would no longer have to worry about the beast tide!

"I don't know, how to collect this reward?" Hong Laodao asked quickly.

Although they are allies, they must receive rewards. As long as it is not too exaggerated, he will agree without hesitation.

"All you need to do the work and materials is a super-grade spiritual stone!" Lu Yu said with a smile.

"..."

Hong Laodao's mouth twitched when he heard this.

When He Xiaoyu heard this, his face suddenly fell.

As we all know, one middle-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred ordinary spiritual stones; one high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to 10,000 ordinary spiritual stones. By analogy, one top-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one million ordinary spiritual stones. , a super-grade spiritual stone is worth 100 million.

The key is that this thing is still cheap and has no market. If you want to buy it, you can't buy it.

After ordinary spiritual stones are used up, they will directly turn into fly ash, while after super-grade spiritual stones are used up, they can be slowly recovered when placed in a place with rich spiritual energy, and can be used again one hundred and eighty years later.

So the other party’s price can be said to be quite high!

"What? Could it be that your He family has been inherited for thousands of years and you don't even have a single super-grade spiritual stone?" Lu Yu asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's just..." Hong Laodao looked extremely embarrassed.

He was wondering whether the deal was worth it.

One super-grade spiritual stone can be used as a small spiritual vein. The He family does have one in their collection. It was originally intended to be used as a supplementary spiritual vein for Caibei Island, but none of them expected that this Caibei Island The spiritual power is good, but the beast tide is extremely ferocious.

"I'm sorry, my defense system can easily kill even the Nascent Soul Monster. It's very difficult to refine." Lu Yu refused.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly hesitated again.

"Can we change other conditions?" He Xiaoyu said with a bitter face.

She really wanted this kind of spiritual cannon.

If there were any other conditions, she would never even blink.

"Sorry, I only want this. You can go back and think about it again, and come back to me if you decide." Lu Yu immediately issued an eviction order.

The reason why he insisted on the super-grade spiritual stone was because it was necessary to repair the Starry Sky Silver Armored Guard.

After these years of research, he has basically thoroughly studied the formation design of the Starry Sky Silver Armored Guards. All he lacks now is the super-grade spiritual stone.

The super-grade spiritual stone is the source of all the power of the Starry Sky Silver Armored Guard. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is so popular. Even at the Xuantian Alliance headquarters, it will disappear immediately as soon as it appears, so he has not been able to redeem it until now. to one.

"Let's do this. I'll discuss it with the lady and I'll give you an answer later!" Hong Laodao pondered for a moment and said.

"OK!"

.................................................................

In the end, Caibei Island agreed to this condition.

From Hong Laodao's perspective, he can naturally see how useful such an automatic attack system is in defending against the beast tide.

It can be said that once this spiritual cannon is released, it will be a nightmare for most monsters!

For this defense system, even if Senbei Island's aura is thinner, it's still worth it.

But before coming, he was thinking of exposing the other party, but in the end, he turned to begging for spiritual cannons from Pearl Island, which made He Xiaoyu feel very unhappy.

"Miss, who cares who defeated the pirates? As long as we know that Pearl Island is worth befriending, that's enough!"

Along the way, Mr. Hong kept comforting him.

………………………………………………

After seeing the two of them off, Lu Yu called Liu Yiyi over without stopping:

"Yiyi, help me prepare a hundred spiritual cannon refining materials!"

"What exactly does it include?"

"Each spirit cannon requires high-grade black iron essence, a thousand kilograms each of cloud-patterned copper, sky star sand, etc., and a little star iron. The entire defense system also needs a complete Nascent Soul-level living beast soul. The higher the level, the better."

"Okay! I'll do it right away!"

…

In the following time, Lu Yu went into seclusion for a very long time.

He has three major things to do this time.

One is to build Caibei Island's defensive cannon, which is also eighty-one. Among them, the weapon soul that controls the entire system. He used a beast soul from the middle stage of Yuanying. After all, Caibei Island is not as big as Xianyuan Island. Totally enough.

After that, he repaired a Nascent Soul peak-level starry sky silver armored guard. Since starry sky mithril is extremely difficult to smelt, and the formation veins in it are extremely large, refining one is almost as difficult as refining a divine weapon.

When the refining was completed, he was almost exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth and refined a dozen simple mining puppets before ending the retreat.

Mineral vein resources discovered in the ocean include various types of commonly used metal ores and rare metal ores, such as black iron, purple cloud copper, purple gold, Tianjingsha, blue sea stone, Xuanyin true gold, black flame crystal, etc.

Each ore has different characteristics, and the required mining puppets are also different. Fortunately, there is no need to refine too high-level ones.

But in the deep sea, the attacks of monsters are the biggest challenge.

After having these puppets, he had to find a way to tame some more sea beasts and protect the puppets.

…………………………………………

A few months later, when Lu Yu came out of seclusion, he found that Xianyuan Island was much more lively.

It turned out that during his retreat, every city along the East China Sea appeared to advertise that Pearl Island was recruiting disciples and casual cultivators. A large number of monks were persuaded by the high remuneration and boarded sea ships to flock to Pearl Island.

The first batch of monks attracted by the high remuneration, numbering in the thousands, were all properly placed by Liu Yiyi in the foreign monk cave area.

At the same time, the Immortal Sword Sect also listed a series of tasks in the task hall in the city for them to choose.

Some were assigned to nearby islands to collect various mineral veins, some were assigned to reef island groups to hunt monsters, some used the spirit rain technique to plant spiritual fields on the islands, and some were responsible for raising spirit beasts.

Each task has generous rewards, including basic remuneration and excess rewards. Moreover, various task rewards are issued on the same day and will not be deducted.

Seeing that the recruitment effect was so good, Lu Yu quickly summoned the senior officials of the Immortal Sword Sect to arrange guarantee matters.

"Yiyi, there are already a lot of casual cultivators in the city now. We need to open trading shops, restaurants, inns, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans and other commercial shops as soon as possible to ensure their daily needs."

"Okay! Shops such as shops, inns, and magic weapons are easy to handle. We can open them ourselves, but what about shops like elixirs, talismans, and restaurants? There are no merchants settling in now, and we are not good at this."

"Have you tried inviting other businesses to join us?"

Lu Yu asked.

"Yes, we have sent invitations to many shops in cities along the coast, even offering free rent for one year, but there are still no merchants willing to come." Liu Yiyi said a little dejectedly.

"It will be difficult at the beginning. Let's do this. First, supply the elixirs and talismans stored in the sect, and then slowly recruit people to refine them. For the restaurant, I have some secret recipes for gourmet food, and I will arrange some people with gourmet talents. Disciple, let’s learn from this and open the shop first.”

"Selling our own elixir talismans? Isn't this too good for them?" Liu Yiyi didn't understand.

"Have you heard the story about buying horse bones for a thousand dollars? If we want Xianyuan Island to prosper, we must first build a good reputation so that we can attract monks from all over the world to come over!"

"Oh, okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Liu Yiyi pouted and responded.

Although she didn't understand why her young master valued casual cultivators so much, she still carried it out to the letter, because she knew that what the young master wanted to do must be of far-reaching significance.

Soon, various shops in Xianyuan City opened one after another.

These stores are all officially opened by Xianyuan City. They are not only affordable and of high quality, but also have very good services. They have won unanimous praise from everyone within a few days of opening.

After a period of experience, the casual cultivators found that Xianyuan Island was not only safe and comfortable, but also the rewards for various tasks were extremely generous, so they went back to call friends and form teams.

Xianyuan Island also offers generous rewards for monks who introduce acquaintances to accept employment.

In this way, one word spreads to ten, and the popularity of Xianyuan City gradually increases at a speed visible to the naked eye.

.......

Caibei Island, meeting hall.

By the way, during this period, Caibei Island was also vigorously recruiting casual cultivators, but there were very few who responded. Hong Laodao has been secretly worried.

"Everyone, I heard that Mingzhu Island has recruited casual cultivators at a high price during this period, and the effect is remarkable. Nearly ten thousand casual cultivators have come here in admiration. Do we want to learn from it?" Hong Laodao asked He Xiaoyu and other senior officials on the island. .

"How much do they pay casual cultivators?" He Xiaoyu asked first.

"I heard that the Qi training period starts with one spirit stone per day, and the foundation building period starts with ten spirit stones per day. The more you work, the more you get. If you exceed the task, you will get extra rewards." Hong Laodao introduced.

"Such a high price? Will Pearl Island still make money?" He Xiaoyu asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Isn't this just a matter of making money at a loss?"

The other senior officials of Caibei Island also raised questions.

"Yes, the raw ore that a foundation-building monk digs in a day is not even worth ten spiritual stones if sold, right? What is the purpose of this Pearl Island?"

"We can't do such a thankless thing!"

The senior officials of Caibei Island present thought for a moment and then raised objections one after another.

They are not a refining sect, so they can only sell the raw ore they dig, and they won't be able to earn much spiritual stone at all.

If such a reward was given to casual cultivators, it would be a complete loss.

Unlike Xianyuan Island, the ore dug can be refined into magic weapons and then sold to casual cultivators, making no profit here.

"However, Pearl Island has indeed attracted a large number of casual cultivators, and its popularity is becoming more and more popular." Hong Laodao said reluctantly.

As this sea area became safer and safer, it became more popular. However, the popularity of the islands was not as high as that of the Pearl Island family, which made him anxious.

Finally, he set his sights on He Xiaoyu and waited for He Xiaoyu's decision.

Unfortunately, He Xiaoyu is not an independent person.

"Miss, we have spent a lot of spiritual stones during this period, and we can't waste it on these anymore. Moreover, the casual cultivators attracted by high prices cannot last long. Once there are no high-paying tasks, they will all leave. Gone!"

A group of senior officials tried their best to persuade him.

Seeing so many people objecting, He Xiaoyu was at a loss and could only say that he would observe for a while before talking.

Seeing that the island owner had already made up his mind, Hong Laodao had no choice but to give up his thoughts.
