Chapter 28 Excellent Treatment, Zhou Shan
Furthermore, Ye Xuan'an only needs to use the thirty portions of spiritual materials provided by the shop each month to refine various innate magical artifacts and formations to produce ten ordinary magical artifacts and formations, plus three high-quality magical artifacts and formations.
Upon closer examination, the success rate of refining only needs to reach 40% to 50%.
This was extremely easy for Ye Xuan'an.
Moreover, any excess spiritual items produced during this period can be given to Ye Xuan'an.
Ye Xuan'an could even put those things in the shop and sell them by taking advantage of the shop's foot traffic. The shop would only need to take half a percent of the cost, which would be extremely cost-effective.
In addition, the shop can also give Ye Xuan'an a monthly salary of thirty spirit stones, plus a first-grade low-level cultivation room as a place for cultivation.
Furthermore, as long as Ye Xuan'an has enough spirit stones, the shop can also collect thirty sets of spiritual materials for Ye Xuan'an each month to refine first-grade low-level magic weapons or formations.
However, Li Dong and his companion had one condition: they needed to sign a long-term contract with Ye Xuan'an, at least three years.
After all, this way they could also gain more benefits from Ye Xuan'an.
"And this isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. After all, I needed a stable environment, and the shop's compensation was quite good, at least several times better than ordinary shops or powerful organizations."
"Under these circumstances, it would be entirely feasible to sign that long-term contract with them."
Ye Xuan'an had no objection to this.
Subsequently, he and Li Dong signed a special first-tier mid-grade Yuan Soul Contract.
That thing is a special spiritual object, which can only be refined by some cultivators who are skilled in the way of the soul.
Once signed, it can conjure up a primordial spirit restriction that penetrates deep into the cultivator's sea of consciousness.
If the agreement is violated, the restriction will backfire.
The backlash from a mid-grade first-level Yuan Soul Contract is something even a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator would find difficult to withstand.
After all, most cultivators are not skilled in the way of the soul, and their souls are extremely fragile.
Moreover, methods to protect the soul are extremely rare.
Therefore, it has a very strong binding force on cultivators, and most cultivators use it when signing contracts with others.
And this moment.
With the contract signed.
Li Dong and his companion exchanged a smile, feeling somewhat relieved.
Immediately afterwards, they gave Ye Xuan'an thirty sets of materials for refining weapons and creating formations.
Furthermore, the market town opened an extra first-grade low-level cultivation room for Ye Xuan'an in the backyard as a perk for him.
In addition, opening up additional meditation rooms also requires spirit stones, sometimes at least several spirit stones per month, which is quite expensive.
If Ye Xuan'an hadn't been so capable, Li Dong and the other man would never have gone to such lengths.
"With this quiet room here, I now have a decent place to cultivate my spiritual practice within the city."
Ye Xuan'an looked around the quiet room in front of him and was particularly satisfied.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xuan'an, the shop includes meals. Cui'er is a good cook; she will bring the food to the small table in the courtyard."
"Come if you want to eat. Of course, you can also cook for yourself if you wish; there's a kitchen in the yard."
Li Dong and the other man gave him detailed instructions.
"it is good."
"Furthermore, I fear that I will often need to trouble you two seniors while I live here in the future, and I hope you will understand."
Ye Xuan'an said with a smile.
"There's no need for us to be picky or not, young friend Xuan'an, please don't stand on ceremony with us."
"Do whatever you want. If you have nothing to do, you can come find me to drink and chat like you used to at the mine, or we can discuss philosophy."
"Old Drunkard Qiu Yang said with a smile."
"You can also invite me."
Li Dong agreed.
"Discussing the Dao? Then it's settled."
Ye Xuan'an wasn't particularly interested in drinking, but he was quite interested in discussing philosophy.
Although he has a higher probability of refining innate magic weapons than Li Dong and Qiu Yang, the old drunkard, because of his stronger talent in refining weapons.
However, their weapon-refining skills had improved to the first-tier low-grade level, and their success rate in refining weapons was even quite good.
This is much better than Ye Xuan'an.
If he could discuss philosophy with him, it would be of great benefit to Ye Xuan'an.
Of course, this matter also benefits Li Dong and his companion.
Both sides can also learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.
Therefore, after a brief chat, the two immediately began to discuss philosophy.
During this time, since neither party was stingy, they shared all their weapon-refining experiences, except for not revealing various weapon-refining inheritances.
Therefore, both sides benefited greatly.
Even Ye Xuan'an's progress in refining the first-grade low-level Fiery Flying Sword and the Fiery Array has accelerated considerably.
"Upon careful consideration, being able to enter the Dongyang store this time is quite fortunate."
Ye Xuan'an was quite pleased with this choice.
After exchanging a few more words, the two left the quiet room together.
During this time, Qiu Yang and Li Dong also found Zhang Fu, who was working at the shop, and rewarded him with a full ten spirit stones.
After all, if it weren't for him, Ye Xuan'an probably wouldn't have come to the shop looking for work.
This unexpected event brought Zhang Fu a pleasant surprise.
After all, ten spirit stones are equivalent to two or three months of his usual salary.
"Thank you both for your generous gifts."
Zhang Fu beamed with joy and quickly thanked him.
"No need to be polite. By the way, remember to spread the word about the shop's treatment to the other cultivators around you in the future. After all, you never know if there are hidden masters of various arts among the people you know, like Fellow Daoist Xuan An."
Qiu Yang and the other man smiled and gave their instructions.
"Alright, leave this to me."
Zhang Fu nodded repeatedly.
Immediately afterwards, he happily approached Ye Xuan'an and gave him all the spirit stones.
"Brother Xuan'an, I feel uneasy taking these spirit stones. Why don't you keep them?"
"Also, brother, I knew you were no ordinary person."
"And I really never expected that after we parted ways at the mine, we would end up working together again. It's truly fate."
"By the way, you'll have to look after me a lot in the future."
Zhang Fu said with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, you're too kind. There's no need for any special treatment. Let's just treat each other as before."
"As for the spirit stones, if you feel bad about it, Brother Zhang, I'll take half, and the other half is yours."
Seeing Zhang Fu's actions, Ye Xuan'an felt a greater liking for him, but he only accepted half of the spirit stones.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Zhang Fu said with a smile.
Then he addressed Kui and the others.
"By the way, fellow body cultivators, my apologies for my disrespect."
"My name is Li Cui, and I greet you all!"
Li Cui also cupped her hands in greeting and showed more respect for Ye Xuan'an and the others.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Dong and Qiu Yang led Ye Xuan'an and Kui Yi and the others away from the shop, intending to find some reliable demon-hunting teams they knew to recommend to Kui Yi and the others.
……
Soon after.
Ye Xuan'an and the others arrived outside a large courtyard in the residential area of Fangshi.
As Qiu Yang and Li Dong knocked on the courtyard gate.
Thump thump thump!!!
A series of strange noises suddenly rang out.
Soon, a burly old man opened the courtyard gate and came out with a puzzled look on his face.
"Brother Li, Brother Qiu? What brings you here to see me?"
"You're not trying to pressure my Black-Eyed Demon-Hunting Team to hurry up and go out into the outside world to hunt demons and search for materials for refining weapons, are you?"
"Our Black-Eyed Demon Hunting Team has only been back from the outside world for less than half a month, and we've earned some spirit stones. We were planning to cultivate in seclusion for a while, so this matter really won't work. At the very least, we'll have to wait a few more months."
When the old man saw Li Dong and Qiu Yang arrive, he said with a hint of helplessness.
Clearly, Qiu Yang and the other man had been urging him to go out and hunt demons quite often.
"Oh, Brother Zhou, don't worry, we know the difficulties you're facing."
"Moreover, we have come to you with good news."
Qiu Yang and the other man said with a smile.
