Chapter 82 Is there still such cheap labor? (First order required)
Li Xiuchang maintained the rhythm of combining work and rest, practicing various skills while replacing the magic power in his body.
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye...
The mana in his body has almost been replaced.
Because it took a lot of time to replace the mana, the length accumulation speed was slower.
The length value is "4.82".
If he concentrates on practicing his skills, he can now save three to five inches in length every month.
"I haven't been out for a month. Let's go to the sermon list first to see if Senior Domineering has replied to my message."
Li Xiuchang was just about to walk out of the medicine field when his heart moved slightly. He took out his identity token and found that it was Pang Yuanfu who was calling.
Pang Yuanfu: "Where is Brother Li now?"
Li Xiuchang replied: "We are farming in the medicine field."
Pang Yuanfu: "Brother Li, wait for me for a moment, I'll be there soon!"
Li Xiuchang was confused and didn't know why Pang Yuanfu came to him again.
Could it be the last mission to eliminate the pig demon?
Li Xiuchang calculated the time and found that three months had indeed passed. According to what was said before, as long as the pig demon did not appear near Baiyun City again within three months, the mission would be considered a success.
But if it was just this matter, Pang Yuanfu only needed to be summoned to report it, and there was no need to make a special trip.
Li Xiuchang didn't have a clue for a while, but fortunately, Pang Yuanfu came within a short while.
"Brother Pang, if you need anything, just send a message and tell him, why bother to go all the way." Li Xiucheng said in a routine.
Pang Yuanfu smiled coquettishly: "I am here mainly to tell you that our previous demon elimination mission has been completed and the rewarded contribution points have been distributed. Brother Li can go to the General Affairs Hall to check. Brother Li, you have contributed the most to this mission. The contribution points gained are also the highest.”
Li Xiuchang smiled and waited for Pang Yuanfu's next words.
The fat man hasn't gotten to the point yet.
Sure enough, when Pang Yuanfu saw that Li Xiuchang didn't answer, he looked a little embarrassed and said: "There is another thing that I want to trouble Brother Li."
"Brother Pang, please tell me."
Pang Yuanfu sighed: "It's still my father's business..."
When Li Xiuchang heard this, he interrupted directly: "Brother Pang, it's not that I won't help, it's really that I have no plans to recruit apprentices."
It was impossible for Li Xiuchang to recruit Pang Yuanfu's father as an apprentice. That would be equivalent to finding a father for himself.
And he really has no plans to recruit apprentices. The paw team he currently has is not full of work every day, which is very wasteful.
Pang Yuanfu said quickly: "Brother Li has misunderstood, this is not the case..."
Pang Yuanfu told the story from beginning to end, and Li Xiuchang finally understood.
Pang Yuanfu's father, Pang Pangqiang, felt that the handyman disciple was too hard and always wanted Pang Yuanfu to find connections to transfer him to the outer sect to serve as an apprentice to the outer sect disciples.
But Pang Yuanfu first came to Xianchen Sect for more than a year, and he was still a Qi training disciple and had no connections in the outer sect.
In addition, Pang Pangqiang looks middle-aged, but in fact he is not young. No one wants to find an apprentice who is older and difficult to handle.
So Pang Yuanfu begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and even offered to give him spiritual stones, but no one was willing to force Pang Pang over.
Pang Pangqiang pressed hard again, and Pang Yuanfu was forced to think of a move...
He hired two casual cultivators to help Pang Qiang complete daily chores, so that Pang Qiang would not have to work too hard.
The chores that Pang Pangqiang is responsible for are all outside the Xianchen Sect, and there is no need to enter the Xianchen Sect, so the hired casual cultivators can do it for them.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Li Xiuchang did not comment on the matter between Pang Yuanfu and his son, but just said in confusion:
"Although registered disciples have heavy chores, it should be enough to hire one casual cultivator. Why hire two?"
"Those two casual cultivators work together, and I only planned to hire one, but they are too cheap..."
"How cheap?"
"Two people together, four spiritual stones a month."
"How much? Four yuan? A month? Or two people?" Li Xiuchang was shocked. There is such a cheap labor force?
"Are you sure you are a casual cultivator and not a mortal?"
"I'm sure, it's still the middle stage of Qi training." Pang Yuanfu nodded, "They originally asked for five spiritual stones. I tried to counter-offer, but I didn't expect it to succeed, but they asked me to pay one month's wages in advance."
If someone wants this, why do you still want to counteroffer?
Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
Well, of course it won’t hurt if you don’t have a conscience.
Li Xiuchang looked at Pang Yuanfu with a hint of contempt. He, Li Xiuchang, had never been able to do this kind of thing of exploiting people as slaves.
He is an exploiter.
"This is also a good way to solve the problem. Now that the problem has been solved, Brother Pang came to me..."
Pang Yuanfu coughed lightly: "Recently, the sect has gathered all the inner qi training disciples to go to Huangfeng Valley to participate in the trial. It will take five months to come back. I have already paid one month's salary in advance for the two casual cultivators, but later Four months…”
It turned out that he wanted to borrow spirit stones, no wonder he was hesitating... Li Xiuchang could also understand. As an inner disciple, Pang Yuanfu had no other income except the monthly salary distributed by the sect. Those spirit stones were probably only enough for his own cultivation, and he was short of money. This is also normal.
In five months, I have to pay the two casual cultivators twenty spiritual stones. If I pay once a month, Pang Yuanfu will definitely be able to get it, but if he takes out so much at once, Pang Yuanfu can only borrow it. .
"Brother Pang, I still have some spirit stones here. You can use them first." Li Xiuchang took out twenty spirit stones and stuffed them into Pang Yuanfu's hand.
This bit of spiritual stone is just a trivial matter to Li Xiuchang now.
Although it cost a lot of spiritual stones to buy second-level talismans and soul flags, as well as second-level spiritual plants, the new flying boat business and the output of spiritual plant elixirs have continued to bring income to Li Xiuchang.
So he still had plenty of money and couldn't spend all the spiritual stones.
Pang Yuanfu's face turned red, and he returned the spirit stone to Li Xiuchang and said, "Brother Li, I am not here to borrow the spirit stone this time, or rather to borrow the spirit stone directly. I hope that brother Li can borrow the spirit stone in the next four months." Here, pay the reward to the two casual cultivators on my behalf once a month, and when I return from the trial, I will return the spirit stone to Brother Li."
Li Xiuchang frowned: "Why is this?"
Pang Yuanfu explained: "If I prepay the next four months' salary in one lump sum, I'm afraid they will run away. They are all casual cultivators and there will be no one to go to if they run away.
"It wouldn't be right to just put the spiritual stone on my father. He can't keep the spiritual stone on hand..."
Li Xiuchang thought thoughtfully... This was actually borrowing the spirit stone. He just asked Li Xiuchang to help him pay the spirit stone to others, which was not a troublesome matter.
Pang Yuanfu said helplessly: "Brother Li, I don't have many friends in the sect. After much thought, I decided to entrust you with this matter. You must help me!"
"In the future, whenever you need me for anything, I, Pang Yuanfu, will never refuse!"
Pang Yuanfu said so, and Li Xiuchang only regarded it as a favor and nodded in agreement.
