Chapter 28: Lining one’s own pockets
The strength of a monk consists of three aspects.
Realm, supernatural powers, and magical weapons!
All three occupy a pivotal position. I couldn't afford them before because I was poor, but now that he has worked for two months and has become more wealthy, I can naturally consider purchasing all of them.
at the same time.
At Xu's Alchemy Shop, after Wang Yu left, the Zhu's grandfather and grandson gathered together. The young master, who was arrogant and domineering during the day, now spoke to Old Zhu in a somewhat nervous tone.
"Grandpa, can Wang Yu bear this crime?"
"He can't."
Mr. Zhu shook his head, his eyes extremely cold.
"Find a few more alchemists and let them carry it together."
Zhu Xiaosun suddenly felt guilty.
"If I hadn't offended the man from Evil God Peak, you wouldn't have to take such a risk, Grandpa."
"What are you talking about? There is no need for us, grandpa and grandson, to say more.
"In addition to offering a large amount of spirit stones to help you atone for your sins, the pill shop also needs someone to take the blame, otherwise we will still not be able to live in peace.
"During this period of time, you have appeared in the Danpu. If there is any mistake in this matter, you should leave the sect as soon as possible and find a way to sneak through the pass between the two regions."
The Zhu family's grandfather and grandson have already gained a lot of personal profits from the newly opened Xu family's alchemy shop, and used it to atone for their sins.
This sin-eliminating system is also a major feature of the Nilingxue Sect.
Except for the crime of treason, any fault can be offset by spirit stones. They are using one sin to cover another. The difference is that the foundation-building deacons are easier to bully, and there are ways to get others to take the blame.
This is the real reason for the high salary in the employment contract, and it is not the will of Deacon Xu.
Zhu Xiaosun mocked Wang Yu during the day, actually he wanted him to give up. After all, it was too outrageous for an alchemist at the third level of Qi training to embezzle tens of thousands of spirit stones. Who would have the courage to do that?
No one would believe this kind of person if he was asked to take the blame! So he was anxious to get rid of Wang Yu to avoid any trouble.
But Mr. Zhu has taken a fancy to Wang Yu. As he gets older, he becomes more and more evil. It is a bit unreasonable to pin the huge amount of spiritual stones on one person.
After all, the stolen money has to be recovered in the end. The larger the group, the lower the amount will be. It is impossible to determine the whereabouts of every spiritual stone, which gives them room to operate.
He is a professional when it comes to accounting!

The next day.
Wang Yu hummed a little tune as he leisurely went to work at Xu's Alchemy Shop. Without the oppression he felt during his time as a spirit slave, he now worked to make money for himself, so his mentality was different.
"Mr. Zhu, how is business today?"
The beginning of the Si hour (9 o'clock).
Wang Yu stepped into the door of the alchemy shop and saw Old Man Zhu copying something behind the counter. He was about to go over and have a chat.
But he heard him say: "Master Wang Dan is here, the furnace in the underground fire room has been heated up, and there is a boy at the door who is responsible for delivering medicine."
Wang Yu paused, doubts arose in his heart. What did it mean to ask him to make elixirs just for a casual chat?
Coincidentally, a customer came with a bottle of Huilingdan to pay the bill.
"Shopkeeper, I want this bottle of medicine. Hurry up, I have a mission to complete."
"Hey, okay, okay." Seeing this, Wang Yu walked towards the underground fire room in the backyard. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. In the end, there were only five words in his mind - [This is the Demon Sect! ]
Suspicion, vigilance, and decisiveness are all good qualities of a demon cultivator, and he is gradually developing this instinct. If there are any suspicious points about Mr. Zhu, no matter how big or small, he must be on guard.
I'll put this matter aside for now and decide to make plans after get off work.
The contract has been signed, but the daily work still needs to be completed. It is a bit difficult to operate with one arm, which means that Wang Yu needs to complete it with one hand, one by one, the fire control seals and the pill condensation seals!
Refining the elixir was even more exhausting for him. Every time he refined two furnaces, his spiritual power was sufficient, but his spiritual consciousness would be exhausted. He needed to take a short rest and enter a state of reverie in order to recover quickly.
This is also beneficial. When the spiritual consciousness reaches its limit and then recovers, it is like exercising. Muscles will become stronger through constant tearing, and the same is true for the spiritual consciousness.
The strength, upper limit, and degree of fine control are all growing with each recovery. Even if the growth is very slight each time, it is still progressing steadily.
Without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river or sea!
It is the unintentional persistence and accumulation that can eventually grow from a seed into a towering tree. Wang Yu attaches great importance to every improvement of his own because of his useless spiritual roots.
Realizing that alchemy could increase the training of his spiritual consciousness, he devoted more of his mind and energy to it, gradually becoming completely immersed in it.
Before I knew it, a day had passed.
Five furnaces of Huiling Pills and five furnaces of Bigu Pills, the former produced 32 pills and the latter produced 29 pills. Wang Yu only handed over the middle-grade pills, and all the high-grade pills that came out of the furnace went into his own pocket.
There is also a bottle of water, which is a reasonable consumption.
If it weren't for these simple first-level elixirs, there would be almost no possibility of the furnace exploding, and he could have swallowed a few more doses of medicinal materials. It was really a pity.
I meditated for a while and calmed my breath.
Then he left the underground fire room and came to the front hall of the alchemy shop. At this time, the crowd had disappeared. Old Zhu was talking to three cultivators. When he saw Wang Yu coming out, he greeted him hurriedly.
"Master Wang, come here quickly. These three are the alchemists who will be working at Xu's Alchemy Shop in the future. Come and meet them."
The man with a square scarf and blue robe and a scholarly temperament introduced himself: "My name is Zhou Tao, I am at the eighth level of Qi training, a first-class top-grade alchemist, and an outer disciple of Wuyin Peak."
Wang Yu immediately understood that this person's cultivation level was still at the outer sect, and he must be a cultivator without any background, and wanted to follow the path of a deacon or elder.
As for the Five Yin Peak, it is the seventh peak of the Niling Blood Sect. It uses the methods of controlling ghosts and cursing gods, which are strange and difficult to guard against.
The remaining two people are more ordinary, but they all have one thing in common: they have no background!
"I am Huang Kai, I am at the sixth level of Qi training, a first-class middle-grade alchemist, and an outer sect disciple of Xueming Peak."
"I am Luo Pinghu, I am at the fifth level of Qi training, a first-class middle-grade alchemist, and an outer disciple of Tianshi Peak."
Zhou Tao, Huang Kai, Luo Pinghu, Wang Yu glanced at Old Man Zhu and also gave a standard self-introduction.
Upon learning that Wang Yu was only at the third level of Qi training and was making pills with one arm, they were all surprised. They wanted to invite Wang Yu to have a meal at a restaurant and discuss the art of making pills, but he refused.
There is no time to lose, it is better to go out and investigate as soon as possible.
Taking all the possibilities into consideration, he decided to pay a personal visit to Deacon Xu. The alchemy shop had only been open for a few days, but he still hadn't met the owner. This was too outrageous.
Deacon Xu is on a job in the Evil God Square. Generally speaking, people will be assigned a job in the same peak as their origin peak. When outer disciples are promoted, the positions they are assigned are all nominal, with only a title and the lowest level of benefits.
Most of them will be sent out to guard certain resource-producing areas occupied by the sect.
When inner disciples are promoted, they are given real positions, such as Deacon of Law Enforcement Hall, Deacon of Dharma Transmission Hall, Deacon of Mission Hall... etc. With the mountain gate at their backs, they have everything they need and are very safe.
Another group went to take charge of the various cities under the Nilingxue Sect.
