Chapter 115 Lingbao Refining FactoryThe mountains are high and the countryside is deep. At noon, the entrance of Gulang Village was filled with idle men and women chatting about family matters. The topics are all-encompassing. If you listen carefully, you can hear words like "online" and "news broadcast" mentioned from time to time. It has to be said that the emergence of the Internet has greatly broadened the horizons of the ignorant rural people. A young man passed by and immediately sparked a wave of greetings. "Where is Xiao Banxian going?" When Xiao Fan passed by the village entrance, he was immediately greeted warmly by the idle men and vagrants in the village. However, he felt particularly humiliated when he was called "Xiao Banxian" again and again. But he was helpless and could only flee in embarrassment. As Xiao Fan walked over, the topic of discussion at the intelligence center at the entrance of the village immediately shifted to him.
"Tsk tsk, you're so grown up, but you don't want to take the exam to become a scholar, and you insist on cultivating immortality. Now, he hasn't achieved anything!" "That's right. He doesn't come home for a long time. He insists on worshipping some... immortal sect. There's no sign of it now." "Poor Xiao Lao San, he finally gave birth to a son, but he chose to become a monk!" Xiao Fan, who had already walked far away, listened to the gossip behind him and subconsciously clenched his fists, but in the end he was helpless. He is an immortal cultivator! He is also a country boy! Half a year ago, he came into contact with the Internet in a vague way. The existence of the Internet has broadened his horizons and opened the door to the path of cultivation for him. Since then, he has been studying the classics of immortal cultivation every day, relying on various unconventional online courses to refine his essence and transform it into energy, and finally cultivated the first bit of magic power. He still remembers those days when he was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep all night. With the young mentality, he spread the news so that everyone knew about it. However, his glory ended here. From then on, he made little progress. In other words, although the magic power is accumulated bit by bit, the manifestation is almost the same. Compared with ordinary people, he is just better physically and powerfully, and is less afraid of severe cold or heat, but there is nothing special about him. He tried to learn from a master. Unfortunately, I kept hitting a wall. The major sects seem to have a deep prejudice against these independent cultivators. As a result, he is now neither a cultivator nor a farmer! In fact, there are many people in the forum of independent cultivators who are in similar situations as him. These people either choose to hide in the abyss and practice in silence; Or go far away and find other ways out.
But in today's world, where is the way out? The major sects are recruiting immortal farm officials, which, to put it bluntly, means they have to farm for others, but he is not willing to do so! As a result, he has wasted his time until now and has become a laughing stock among the villagers. After all, what is the difference between a person who is devoted to so-called spiritual practice, who does not read books or farm, and a blind vagrant? “I hope Gu Zhenzai is not lying!” Xiao Fan took a deep breath and muttered to himself. It turned out that Gu Zhenzai suddenly posted a pinned post this morning. It was announced that a general chamber of commerce would be established, mainly engaged in the refining and sale of magical instruments, and therefore it was recruiting instrument refiners and Qi refining apprentices. The relaxed recruitment conditions and generous treatment made Xiao Fan's heart beat fast. He could no longer sit still, and after arguing with his family, he once again stubbornly embarked on the journey of seeking immortality and the truth. The journey to Laolu Temple is quite long. Fortunately, he had already entered the mysterious world and had plenty of strength. He watched videos along the way and did not feel tired. A day later, when we reached the border of Laolu Temple, we suddenly saw more people on the road. Upon closer inspection, we found that most of them were teenagers. After some greetings, I found out that they were all people who wanted to visit the General Chamber of Commerce. Xiao Fan's heart tightened when he saw this. With so many people, the competition is fierce! Is this a choice? For a moment, he began to back down again. Looking at the old Luguan right in front of him, he gritted his teeth and walked away. Lao Lu Temple covers a large area. There are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the temple. There are several Taoist temples inside the temple, each occupying a mountain. From a distance, it is surrounded by green trees, with flying pavilions and flowing water, which gives it a fairy-like style. However, just as I arrived at the gate of Lao Lu Temple, I saw a Taoist boy holding a sign with the following words clearly written on it: ——General Chamber of Commerce. Under the guise, quite a few people have gathered. Xiao Fan hurriedly walked closer and after some inquiries, he found out that this was indeed the gathering place. He wanted to ask, but he was too embarrassed and seeing that the Taoist boy in front of him also looked uninterested, he could only swallow his curiosity. They waited for half a day, until more than twenty people gathered, and then other Taoist children came and led everyone away. The direction of departure was still not Laolu Temple, but a hill next to it. Along the way, the mountain roads were deserted and the narrow paths seemed to have been newly trampled, which made Xiao Fan feel something was not good. If the post had not been sent by Gu Zhenzai and was not posted in front of the gate of Lao Lu Temple, he would have really suspected that he had encountered a demon in disguise, who tricked mortals into entering the mountains and raised and slaughtered them. "Hush, everyone, listen to me. Beyond the valley ahead is the Lingbao Refining Factory of the General Chamber of Commerce. After entering the gate, do not get separated, or you will be trapped and killed by the immortals' magic formation. Don't blame me for not warning you."
The leading Taoist boy warned loudly, and while he was speaking, everyone had already turned around the mountain pass. My eyes suddenly became enlightened. Then I saw a complex of buildings located in the quiet valley, which looked like a palace in the sky. This caused a group of casual cultivators to be amazed. However, when everyone got closer, they found that this building complex was obviously a new construction. Many cultivators were busying around using their great magical powers, and there were rubble and huge trees everywhere. However, this scene gave Xiao Fan some hope. Gu Zhenzai had just established a new chamber of commerce and was definitely short of people. He might be chosen. Full of expectations, Xiao Fan immediately put his full attention into responding. The subsequent selection process went extremely smoothly, so smoothly that he even felt cheated. Because everyone who came with him, without exception, was accepted as his disciple. This made Xiao Fan, who prided himself on being extraordinary, feel extremely absurd. "Since you are here, I think you have understood the recruitment rules. From today on, you are all employees of the Lingbao Refining Factory. The General Chamber of Commerce will arrange for a refiner to teach you the art of refining. Those who have mastered the skills can enter the factory to refine weapons. The more you work, the more you will get." "According to the rules set by Gu Zhenzai, your salary will be linked to your weapon refinement level, so I hope you will study hard and become a high-level weapon refiner as soon as possible, so that you can enjoy the incense of thousands of pillars." "Before that, I'll make it clear. Once you pass the assessment and enter the factory to refine weapons, you are not allowed to leave without permission. Those who leave without permission will have their wages deducted, or even be expelled from the factory. You will have six days off per month, and you can take five days off or take a day off to visit your family..." The monk in charge of the selection read out the rules of the Lingbao Refining Factory in a long and rambling manner. Xiao Fan, who was standing in the crowd, felt more and more strange the more he listened! Because he had never seen such a unique and generous chamber of commerce. If you go out to be an apprentice, who doesn't have to serve the master for several years before you have the opportunity to learn real skills? There are many cases where people are treated as free labor by their masters. The Lingbao Equipment Refining Factory is better. They just teach the art of equipment refining. Aren’t they afraid that people will run away after learning it? What surprised him the most was that after completing his studies, he could start working directly with a generous salary. How could this be the Immortal Chamber of Commerce? This is simply an immortal sect!
