Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 143 The Wealth Value of Technical Knowledge

Li Ji Minerals.

In the backyard, Chu Mu followed a middle-aged man with a mustache, step by step.

"The backyard is relatively large. The row near the front pavement is housing. As usual, all the employees of our firm live here. Each has a room, but there is no spiritual energy supply."

"However, there are miniature partitions in the room, which can isolate the consciousness and sound, and the privacy is not bad."

"Behind this is the place for daily tasks, mainly the smelting of various mineral materials."

"Your task is to smelt spirit minerals. The price is calculated by catty. If you refine ten catties of spirit minerals, it is a broken spirit. One hundred catties is just one spirit stone, and there is no cap."

"The refining of spirit mines is very simple. It is nothing more than expelling impurities and retaining the essence."

"In the past few days, you should go around in the warehouse first, see more and learn more."

"For other benefits, our firm's buddies will have a meal of spiritual rice at the end of each month, so you can take a day off."

"In addition, at the end of each year, there will be a reward. There are various rewards, depending on the shopkeeper's mood. Generally, they are not bad, and they are worth a month's salary of yours..."

"Our firm, that's it. If you want, you can go to the front hall and sign the contract. You can start working today..."

Chu Mu silently looked at the yard in front of him, saying it was a yard, but it was actually a large factory building.

The front row is the pavement facing the street. Behind the pavement is the house where the clerks live. After that, there is a large warehouse with a three-year wall and a transparent side.

Standing at the door of the warehouse, one can have a panoramic view of the interior of the warehouse.

All kinds of ores are piled up in different categories, and immortal cultivators in different clothes are busy in it. It seems that it is no different from the small factory in the previous life.

However, there is another partition at the back of the warehouse, and it seems that there is still room inside.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and sign the contract."

Chu Mu didn't hesitate too much. Outside the Jade Emperor Valley, it is a land of disorder, but inside the Jade Emperor Valley, the rules are extremely strict!

"That's okay, you go to sign the contract first, and I'll take you around our firm later to familiarize yourself with the situation."

"Take care of it."

Chu Mu cupped his hands, answered a few words, and then walked towards the front hall.

Immediately, a contract was placed in front of Chu Mu.

The contract is paper-like, dark yellow in color, but only one palm long and three fingers wide, and there are only a few lines of writing on it, which is similar to the previous life's contract, but it doesn't have so many rules and regulations.

The general idea is how much is the monthly salary, what are the job responsibilities, and then a series of prohibitions, such as the prohibition of harming the interests of the business during the working period, and the prohibition of divulging the secrets of the business...

Prohibited throughout, but without the slightest penalty.

Chu Mu seemed puzzled, and looked at the young man in front of him, who seemed to be the son of the shopkeeper of the firm...

"This is the contract of the soul. After signing, it is bound to the soul. If you violate it, you will be backlashed by the contract!"

"Under the Foundation Establishment Realm, the light ones will be severely injured, and the heavy ones will lose their souls!"

Chu Mu's heart trembled, and his eyes fell on the contract again, deliberating over every word.

It is very fair, except for a few restrictions due to confidentiality factors, the rest are only restrictions during the working period. Once you leave the job, these restrictions are equivalent to nothing.

Seeing Chu Mu like this, the man was obviously used to it, and said lightly:
"Don't worry, the soul contract works on the soul, right or wrong, you just have to feel it yourself."

Chu Mu tentatively released his consciousness, felt the touch, and sure enough, as the man said, the contract of the soul contract was clearly revealed.

There are no loopholes, there are no loopholes, and the soul contract that exploits loopholes cannot be established.

The hunch in the dark is very clear.

With a thought in Chu Mu's mind, there was a faint flicker on the Deed of Soul, and the word Chu Mu suddenly appeared on it.

The man said with a smile: "Okay, since you signed the contract, you will be a member of our Liji Commercial Firm. Work hard and you will not be treated badly."

Chu Mu nodded and said a few words, but didn't say much.

Who knows how to draw pancakes?

Just listen to it, but if you really believe it, you will be stupid, not to mention, this is still the world of cultivating immortals...

From the front hall to the backyard, the steward was obviously still waiting. Chu Mu stepped forward, followed the steward, wandering around here.

Chu Mu observed carefully the place where he expected to live for a long time in the future.

The business of the business is very clear, it is nothing more than processing rough ore and selling processed ore materials.

As for the processing and smelting of ore materials, it is also different from the secular steel furnace iron smelting, but uses the spiritual consciousness and mana of the immortal cultivator to manually remove the impurities in the rough ore.

Although the efficiency is not high, the quality of the processed ore is obviously very good with the magic power of spiritual consciousness.

The organizational structure of the firm is also very clear.

The shopkeeper at the top, named Wuhan, seems to be an immortal cultivator who has perfected Qi training. He has been practicing in seclusion for many years, but he has not been seen.

Then there is the shopkeeper's own son, named Wu An, who is mainly responsible for the operation of the front shop.

Then there is the military officer who leads him, the younger brother of Wuhan, who is in charge of the ore processing and smelting in the warehouse.

And then there's these guys who work,
Counting Chu Mu himself, there are only eight people who actually do things.

The reason why the shopkeeper's surname is Wu, but the firm's name is Liji Commercial Firm, is only because the shopkeeper is said to be the disciple of a certain master named Li in Fangshi, so the name of Liji Mineral Materials came into being.

After wandering around for a long time, until the sky was getting dark, under the monthly salary mechanism of pay according to work, several people could still be seen busy in the warehouse, and some returned to the room early, obviously intending to practice.

After separating from Guanshi Wu, Chu Mu went straight back to the house assigned to him.

The house is not big, no different from his secular bedroom, it's just a room.

Chu Mu tentatively touched the wooden door on the wall with his spiritual sense, and a faint sense of obstruction immediately came to his heart.

Obviously, what Guan Wu said was true, this seemingly ordinary room does have restrictions.

It's just that I don't know if the "spiritual energy supply" he mentioned is what he guessed.

After closing the door, Chu Mu was about to look for the oil seal and put it on, but just as the door was closed, it was slightly dark, and a glazed lamp on the table automatically lit up.

The light is soft and extremely bright, and the whole room is unobstructed.

Chu Mu was slightly stunned, stepped forward to pick up the glazed lamp, studied it carefully for a while, and probably had some understanding.

It should be a creation similar to those lamps in Fangshi. The source of the lamp is a round stone. Although the lamp base is glazed, there are faint lines clearly visible in it, obviously similar to some kind of induction mechanism... or runes.

Chu Mu also became interested. Since it can be placed in his room, it is obviously not a precious thing. Under the "blessing of spiritual brilliance", his spiritual consciousness is focused, and he immediately analyzes the lines in it.

The texture seems simple, but in fact it is quite complicated, and it is even a little unclear.

After researching and pondering, clues gathered little by little, and Chu Mu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He doesn't understand runes and has never touched them before, but he can sense aura!

Follow the vine, he still will.

Under the induction of his spiritual sense, he could clearly perceive that there were extremely subtle spiritual energy fluctuations emerging in the lamp.

Following the clues, one of the runes was quickly locked.

The faint aura fluctuations appeared from this rune.

"Is it absorbing the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth?"

Chu Mu frowned, carefully perceiving the aura fluctuations. Under the focus of his spiritual consciousness, the aura light points seemed to gather towards this rune, and he seemed to be able to vaguely feel the power of this rune to absorb aura.

The aura is incorporated into the runes, and as the runes flicker, the lines flow, and the final destination is like the glowing stone in the lamp.

"So, the function of this rune is to absorb the free aura between the heaven and the earth, and replenish energy for this luminous stone."

"Then... there should be a rune that senses light and darkness, as an automatic control switch..."

Chu Mu muttered to himself, and his spiritual consciousness scanned the lamp bit by bit.

But no matter how much he observed, he still didn't discover the existence of another rune that he guessed.

"Shouldn't be..."

Chu Mu was full of doubts. No matter how miraculous it is, it must follow normal principles, right?

Since there are runes that replenish energy, there must be a control switch that senses light.

Otherwise, how to control the lamp?

"Hiding so deep?"

Observing again, after a long time, Chu Mu almost couldn't help swearing!
The rune he guessed does exist.

But it is hidden in the center of this round glowing stone!
Chu Mu opened the door, and under the sun at dusk and sunset, the lamp went out instantly, and when the door was closed, the lamp brightened again in the dark.

And in the perception of the soul, the rune did not notice any movement.

Chu Mu observed carefully, and he could clearly detect the slightest sense of spiritual sense, but multiple phantoms appeared inexplicably!

"There are anti-peeping measures?"

Chu Mu frowned, and observed again in disbelief, but the result was still the same.

Under the naked eye, it seems to be the same. A cursory glance is okay, but once you focus and look closely, it will be full of phantoms, and you can't see anything clearly!

Chu Mu even felt that the method of creating phantoms was probably connected with the two runes of the lamp. Once suppressed forcibly, the runes would be broken and the lamp would be destroyed.

"Such a small method is strictly guarded against..."

Chu Mu shook his head, he suddenly felt that the puppet inheritance in his mind was probably much more precious than he imagined!
After all, there are only two runes in the small lamp in front of him, and he, a rookie, can analyze it roughly, and the technical content is definitely not high.

But in Yuhuanggufang City, lamps are indispensable in every street, and this kind of lamps are also indispensable in the homes of every immortal cultivator...

Behind this seemingly inconspicuous lamp, there is also a huge market...

Such inconspicuous two runes have such a huge wealth value.

It can be seen that in the world of cultivating immortals, the importance of technical knowledge is very important.

It can also be seen how important the basic inheritance of that puppet art is in his mind, and how terrifying its wealth value is!
