Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 11: Employment
Tianshu Mansion.
As the most important institution for cultivators in Fengshan Kingdom, it is located in the center of Changping Prefecture. Its geographical conditions are superior and its architectural layout is so luxurious that even the magistrate's lobby and wealthy residences cannot compare.
When the lanterns first came on, the Tianshu Mansion was already brightly lit, singing songs and laughing.
A banquet was being held in the hall of Tianshu Mansion, with dozens of servants carrying all kinds of exquisite dishes to the table.
The host of the banquet was naturally Tang Jie.
The matter of the Bai Mansion was settled after the arrival of Weng Tongrang and others. Tang Jie got what he wanted, so he naturally gave up. However, Weng Tongrang and others obviously did not intend to let this big man leave like this, and invited him warmly. After failing to do so, Tang Jie agreed to attend the banquet.
Sitting in the host and guest seats, Tang Jie faced Weng Tongrang and other officials who were diligently urging him to drink.
Weng Tongrang’s **** almost never touched the stool. He kept standing up to toast and introduced various dishes attentively:
"Braised phoenix liver, made from the heart and liver of the phoenix beast from Wushan Mountain. It needs to be a young civet under two years old. It is really tender and delicious. Mr. Tang must try it."
Tang Jie stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite. After tasting it, he nodded and said, "It is indeed a delicacy in the world."
Seeing his approval, everyone felt relieved at the same time. The general with a good eye was ready to tell his subordinates to make more of these phoenix livers and send them over. Unexpectedly, after saying this, Tang Jie put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.
The commander-in-chief of Changping, Wei Yuanzhen, said strangely: "Why don't you eat, sir? Is it because you think the reception is not good?"
Tang Jie shook his head and looked at Yiyi beside him. The little girl was getting excited about eating.
"Is it delicious?" he asked Yiyi.
Yiyi nodded repeatedly.
Tang Jie's face was full of tenderness: "If it tastes good, eat less."
As soon as these words came out, everyone froze, even Yiyi froze.
Yu Renjie asked in confusion: "Sir, what does this mean?"
After thinking for a while, Tang Jie replied: "Those who play with things lose their ambitions. As cultivators of our generation, we aspire to the path of immortality. We have no other aspirations besides the path of sacrifice. Food, sex, power, and the prosperity of the world, the more beautiful it is. , the more it corrodes the will. If I want to make progress, I think it is better to stay away from these things. Therefore, the more exquisite the food, the more untouchable it is; the more attractive the woman is, the more she must stay away from it. ..."
As he spoke, he looked at the pretty maid next to him who was constantly making flirtatious glances at him.
After hearing what Tang Jie said, the maid's face changed slightly and she took a few steps back.
Even Weng Tongrang and others changed their colors slightly when they heard this, and were shocked by this person's strong concentration and strong character.
Unfortunately, before Tang Jie finished speaking, he added another sentence: "Of course, there is also the power in the world. If you can do it, it's better to do it."
As soon as these words came out, Weng Tongrang and others changed their expressions at the same time. Unexpectedly, Tang Jie had already figured out their purpose.
Yes, Weng Tong asked them to win over Tang Jie deliberately because he wanted Tang Jie to become an official.
Facing a powerful enemy, the best way is not to defeat him, but to turn him into one of your own.
Almost everyone in the officialdom is familiar with this set of rules. In order to win over Tang Jie, Weng Tongrang and others worked even harder. After what happened here, Weng Tongrang sent the news back to the capital of Fengshan Kingdom with a thousand-mile message. The order he received was to win over this person at all costs. Even the official positions, rewards, residences, etc. that should be given to Yu have been arranged.
But they didn't expect that Tang Jie could see through their thoughts at a glance, and was blocked by Tang Jie before they could say anything.
For nearly ten thousand years, Qixia Realm has always insisted that immortals and mortals do not coexist, and that mortal affairs are managed by mortals. Cultivators only need to enjoy the offerings, regulate the rain, and practice with peace of mind. This is not unreasonable.
One of the important reasons is to avoid being exposed to too much secular atmosphere, especially the atmosphere of officialdom.
The power field is a place where it is easier to corrupt one's will than delicious food.
In the officialdom, what is important is to be good at dancing with long sleeves, to be elegant, to observe people's words, to figure out the intentions, and to be cautious in words and deeds.
The path of a cultivator is to be strong and decisive, to be brave and diligent, to enter with determination, and to be fearless. Even though there are thousands of people, I will go there.
The two are fundamentally in conflict with each other.
For this reason, in the Qixia Realm, although the six major sects stand on the top of the world with the means of reaching the sky, they insist on being separated from the world, that is, to avoid the worldly atmosphere from contaminating their souls. Although there will inevitably be some intrigues in places with people, but overall, because there are few people and few things to do, everyone concentrates on cultivation and there are much less things like socializing.
Looking at the few people in front of me, they are both cultivators and officials, but they are all groveling and trying to please, and there is no trace of the courage that a cultivator should have.
Thinking more deeply, the reason why the Qingyun Realm has formed the current situation of the decline of the human race and the rise of the demon race is probably related to their system of cultivators becoming ministers and serving as officials. Now that practitioners have become officials, how much time and energy do they have to devote to cultivation? It is not only the will that is wasting away, but also the strength itself.
But for some words, just click to stop. Tang Jie didn't do it for himself, he just wanted to wake up a little. In fact, people may not understand that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is impossible to make some people give up the good life they are used to. of.
At this moment, everyone felt ashamed after hearing Tang Jie's words.
Weng Tongrang stood up and raised his hands and said: "Sir, you have been practicing hard and are diligent and self-motivated. We are ashamed of you. However, now that the demon clan is powerful, the human race is in danger. If we don't unite to fight against the demon clan, the human race will Sooner or later it will be doomed."
What he said was sincere and showed no pretense at all.
Tang Jie had also heard some things about these generals before he came. He knew that although these people had many problems, they were generally good at work and had fought against monsters on the battlefield several times. Although he has no outstanding achievements, he can still be considered as trying his best.
Tang Jie said: "If you are not in the army, you can still contribute to the rise and fall of the human race."
Zou Yuanye responded: "Folk cultivators are like loose sand, unable to be used in a big way. You are such a talented person, it would be too unfair to stay among the people."
For the first time in history, Tang Jie did not object. He nodded and said, "That's right."
Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that Tang Jie had changed his mind.
Tang Jie shook his head and said: "But I'm used to being alone, and I still don't want to get involved too much in the world of mortals. I think it's better to do this. If the demon clan attacks, but you have arrangements, you can come to me. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, Then don’t bother me anymore.”
"What about salary?" Shen Peng asked.
Tang Jie replied: "Then it depends on what you need me to do. Let's negotiate the price. But you can rest assured that for matters related to the rise and fall of the human race, my price will not be too high, as long as all the loot belongs to me."
Tang Jie's words completely put himself in the position of a mercenary, which was also the best result for him. After all, he doesn't have to give up power, but he still can't give up resources.
"That's natural!" Everyone agreed together.
Although Tang Jie could not be admitted into the official position, at least Tang Jie's position was on the side of the human race, as long as there were no problems with this general direction. Moreover, as Tang Jie said that it was related to the rise and fall of the human race, the asking price would not be too high, which also made everyone feel more at ease. For a person with Tang Jie's status, what he says will not count.
Everyone was relieved of their worries and spoke much more relaxedly, without the previous restraint.
With the help of wine, the governor of the Zhenfu Division said to Zou Yuanye: "By the way, sir, the price will not be too high for matters related to the rise and fall of the human race. Does that mean that, except for major events such as the rise and fall of the human race, In fact, you can ask your husband to help with some personal matters?"
Tang Jie smiled and replied: "That's natural. As long as it's not something unethical and unreasonable, you can come to me. The price depends on the situation, but it won't be cheap."
"That's it, that's it!" Everyone started laughing together, and countless thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant.
Listening to what Tang Jie means, as long as he has money, he is actually very talkative, and even they can assign Tang Jie to do things. If this is the case, it will be much easier to do things in the future.
I wonder what the price of Tang Jie is.
Thinking of this, Yu Renjie asked: "I don't know how to price it, sir?"
Tang Jie thought for a while and replied: "That depends on the strength of the opponent. By the way, what is your current monthly rate?"
Wei Yuanzhen replied: "Our monthly salary is three thousand spiritual coins, General Weng's is five thousand, and every time we fight, we will receive additional rewards based on our military merits."
The monthly income of these people is not high, just like no one who is an official depends on their salary.
Tang Jie didn't care, he just lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Then let's take ten times the monthly rule as the standard. A spiritual ring is 30,000 spiritual coins, a demon is 50,000, and the soul is 100,000, no matter how high it is, No. This is a personal reward. If it is a demon battlefield, the reward can be cheaper, subject to five times. Of course, it is still the same, unless there is a designated target, all the trophies are mine. Others will be based on Let’s decide the situation later.”
When everyone heard this, they were all excited.
It's not too expensive, it's too cheap.
You must know that there are some powerful people like Tang Jie in Fengshan Kingdom, but there are very few people like Tang Jie who are willing to work hard for money. All of them are supported by officials and suffer every day. Xiu, unless there is a major event of the rise and fall of the human race, it will not happen easily. In this way, even if you occasionally make a move, you still need to ask for a sky-high remuneration, and this does not take into account the daily offerings.
In comparison, Tang Jie’s asking price is simply charity!
They don’t know that this is because Tang Jie’s practice is different ~IndoMTL.com~ As long as resources are not consumed, time is not wasted.
For other great powers, time is a resource. On the path to immortality, one must work hard every day. What's more, sometimes the retreat happens to be good, but something causes the retreat to be released early, causing greater losses, and naturally one has to ask for sky-high compensation.
Tang Jie did not have these concerns. Anyway, he had not made much progress in cultivating by relying on heaven. All he needed were resources. He had to go around to find resources, otherwise he would not have gone to massacre Baizhan City.
With entrustment, wouldn’t it be better to earn an extra sum?
Finally, there is only one other powerful person who has no skills at all, so naturally he will not lower the price easily. Tang Jie is different. He has clones, ghost guards, Yiyi, Tutu, and even Dou soldiers. The combat power he can provide also allows him to set relatively cheap prices and accept enough commissions. .
In this way, you can naturally make money and improve your strength.
