Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Chapter 74 Looking for a job

"Manager Xue, how come there isn't even a cold talisman in Qian Zuilou?"

The speaker was a young woman with slender eyebrows and a delicate face as white as tofu. She was wearing a light blue dress with a sachet hanging from her waist. Her face looked anxious.

"I remember that I had more than ten ice cold talismans in reserve before. Where did they go?"

"Zhenren Cuiping of Yaoyun Valley will arrive at the restaurant soon. She likes to taste the 'Cold Silk Fire Precious Crane' the most. How can she prepare this spiritual meal for entertaining if there is no ice-cold talisman at this time?"

As An Yiqi walked, she questioned the middle-aged manager next to her who was sweating coldly.

"This." Xue Shengde said with a bitter look on his face: "To be honest with you, Miss, all the ice talismans in the restaurant were sold privately by Mr. An Fan."

"When he was in charge of the restaurant, he felt that such a rare magic talisman was rarely used on weekdays. After all, since he hosted Cuiping more than ten years ago, the restaurant has never made the 'Hansi Fire Precious Crane', so he decided to sell it privately. Lost all the cold talismans."

An Yiqi's face showed anger, and she was so angry that she scolded: "I sell the items in the restaurant at will without reporting it to the family, enriching my own pockets. I am simply a worm in the family!"

"If you don't have the Ice Talisman, go buy it quickly!"

Xue Shengde's face became increasingly bitter, and he said: "Miss, the Ice Talisman has a single effect and is relatively lonely."

"Ordinary spiritual talisman masters will basically not spend energy to understand this spiritual talisman. If you want to buy it, you need to look for it slowly. It will probably take a while. I'm afraid it will be too late."

"How about we exchange some other rare spiritual meals for Master Cuiping?"

"Master Ji Zhu's status is noble and cannot be neglected."

An Yiqi shook her head and rejected the steward's proposal.

These words fell into Jiang Qiong’s ears.

Let him look thoughtful.

The talisman shopkeeper still has some talismans left in his storage bag.

Among them, there are two ice cold talismans.

At this time, take it out and let Anjia use it to make spiritual meals, just in time to form a good relationship.

Jiang Qiong was originally planning to sell the Ice Talisman, but was not prepared to keep it in her hands.

Knowing that Anjia Restaurant lacked this talisman, he walked up to them and took out two talismans from his storage bag.

"Miss An, Manager Xue, I have two ice cold talismans here. I wonder if they can alleviate the urgent need?"

Jiang Qiong judged An Yiqi's identity from the conversation between the two, so she spoke politely.

An Yiqi was having a headache about the Ice-Cold Talisman, but in a blink of an eye, her beautiful eyes sparkled with light.

"It's really a cold talisman!"

An Yiqi looked surprised and took away the magic talisman. Then she glanced at Jiang Qiong and said in a slightly grateful tone: "Fellow Taoist, your magic talisman has really helped Qian Zuilou!"

Speaking of this, An Yiqi looked at Xue Shengde and said: "I have to go out to receive Master Cuiping. You can entertain me and thank this Taoist friend. Don't neglect this distinguished guest."

After saying that, An Yiqi quickly went downstairs, first went to the Lingshan Courtyard, handed the magic talisman to the Lingshan Master, and then walked out of the restaurant.

Watching his young lady leave.

Xue Shengde breathed a sigh of relief.

He took Jiang Qiong into the steward's private room.

Then he cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you very much, fellow Taoist, for your generous help this time."

Jiang Qiong smiled and said, "Manager Xue is too polite."

Xue Shengde made a cup of tea for Jiang Qiong and asked, "Fellow Taoist looked surprised and suddenly visited Qianjiu Tower, but what's the matter?"

Ordinary guests would rarely come to the highest floor, so Xue Shengde asked this question.

"To be honest with Manager Xue, I was recommended by Manager Shi Bao of the Shijia Slaughterhouse, and I came here to seek employment as an apprentice at Qian Zui Lou Lingshan. Please give me a chance, Manager Xue."

Jiang Qiong said without thinking.

Hearing this, Xue Shengde pondered for a while and asked: "Dare you ask me, my friend, is he a native of Pingyun County?"

When he said this, Xue Shengde's tone was relatively soothing, his expression seemed serious, and he didn't mean to be perfunctory.

It can be seen that Jiang Qiong just took out the magic talisman to rescue the emergency, and it had a good effect.

At the very least, Xue Shengde had a good attitude, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was seriously considering Jiang Qiong's request.

"I am from Yulingjuncheng, Bixia Oasis. I worked for the Qin family in my early years. For some reasons, I accompanied my best friend to Yaoyun Oasis."

Jiang Qiong saw that this time he was looking for a job, which seemed to be a good idea, so he answered seriously.

After hearing this, Xue Shengde asked a series of questions, such as why Jiang Qiong came to Yaoyun Oasis, what errands he had done in the Qin family, what his family background was, what he was good at, etc.

All in all, the questions were very detailed.

Jiang Qiong answered one by one. He answered the irrelevant questions truthfully, and the questions involving his own secrets were answered half-truths and half-falsehoods. As for the realm, the techniques he mastered and other private questions, he concealed them all.

We chatted for about two quarters of an hour.

Since the restaurant was busy today, Xue Shengde had to find time to take care of things. Without asking any more questions, he thought for a while and said:

"I understand the situation of fellow Taoist. Please accept this transmission note and go back to wait for a few days."

"If your Taoist friend is really a casual cultivator with an innocent family background, there will be a message from you within three days at the latest, asking you to come to the restaurant as a spiritual apprentice."

Thanks to Jiang Qiong's helping hand in difficult situations, it is easiest to arouse gratitude in a short period of time.

Therefore, Xue Shengde looked at Jiang Qiong with kind eyes and was grateful to Jiang Qiong for helping him out at the critical moment.

Recalling that when I was still a casual cultivator, I also had such a hard time finding a good job.

Under the influence of various emotions, Xue Shengde decided to give Jiang Qiong a chance, provided that there was no big problem with his identity.

"Thank you, steward." Jiang Qiong thanked him after hearing this.

Xue Shengde smiled, took out a jade slip, handed it over, and said, "Fellow Taoist, please keep this jade slip. It contains some cooking techniques for spiritual meals."

"When you have free time, fellow Taoists can try to understand it. Maybe in the future, you can use this to advance from a spiritual baker apprentice to a spiritual baker master."

The jade slip that Xue Shengde took out was equivalent to a thank you gift to Jiang Qiong, thanking him for taking out the two ice cold talismans.

Jiang Qiong took the jade slip, but she didn't have to buy it anymore. She couldn't help but smile and said: "I'd like to borrow a good word from the manager."

After that, he stood up to say goodbye. He knew that Qian Zuilou was very busy today, so he didn't stay long.

After walking out of the restaurant, Jiang Qiong rented a guest room at an inn not far from the restaurant.

Silently waiting for news.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Jiang Qiong has been staying in the inn, reading the Lingshan Jade Slips.

His thoughts flashed, and writing appeared on the panel.

[Name: Jiang Qiong]

【身份：灵膳师（控火：1/15）.（刀功：1/12）.（泼料：1/10）.（装盘：1/8）】

【(Gongqing spine fish: 1/45)】

【Experience: 197】

"Hey, experience points are scarce, less than two hundred points."

"I hope I can enter Anjia's Qianjiu Restaurant."

"In this case, you can kill monsters safely and gain a lot of experience points in vain."

Jiang Qiong looked at the panel and couldn't help but mutter a few words.

Suddenly, he received a message from Xue Shengde.

The running spiritual consciousness sweeps through the transmission notes.

The general meaning of the content is to let him go to Qian Zuilou to be a spiritual baker's apprentice.

"Great, I finally found a job!"

"It's really not easy!"

With joy in her eyes, Jiang Qiong walked out of the inn and went straight to Anjia's Qianjiu Restaurant.

This time, he learned wisely. The time for signing the spiritual contract was very short and he was relatively free. The price was a lower salary, only four spiritual stones a year.

Under Xue Shengde's arrangement, he went to the Lingshan Courtyard of the restaurant and came to the third Lingshan Room.

Followed by a first-level high-grade spiritual chef named Zhong Shan.

"Old Zhong, this is the new Lingshan apprentice Jiang Qiong. He has good character. Take good care of him for me. Whatever dishes you have on weekdays, remember to teach him two tricks."

Before Xue Shengde left, he greeted Zhong Shan with a smile.

"Ah."

Zhong Shan is a middle-aged man with a serious expression. He has a high nose and dark face, which gives people a strong sense of oppression.

He glanced at Jiang Qiong and said angrily: "Go and kill the two bamboo bears with bone inflammation imprisoned in Lingshan Yard."

"Clean off their bones and hair, bag the bear's blood, and remember to clean the internal organs." As he spoke, Zhong Shan threw a jade slip to Jiang Qiong, which contained detailed instructions on how to deal with materials from the bamboo bears with bone inflammation.

"Okay!" Jiang Qiong's eyes lit up, and this was what she was waiting for.

He took the jade slip and quickly walked out of the No. 3 spiritual dining room without any hesitation.

The Lingshan Courtyard of Qian Zuilou is spacious and has more than ten spiritual dining rooms, dozens or hundreds of houses, as well as cells and pools for holding monsters.

Jiang Qiong found the monster prison in Lingshan Yard.

He glanced at the large number of monsters imprisoned inside, found two first-level bone inflammation bamboo bears that were imprisoned by the formation, and skillfully killed them all.

[Experience value +24]

[Experience value +23]

Looking at the writing that appeared on the panel, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but smile.

"Comfortable."

After a long time, Jiang Qiong was finally able to gain experience points happily, which made Jiang Qiong feel comfortable.

He hummed a little tune and spent the rest of the time cleaning the bones, hair, etc. according to the content on the jade slip.

Worked until dusk.

Zhong Shan called Jiang Qiong to the Lingshan Room.

At this time, there were still three unfamiliar Lingshan apprentices in the Lingshan room, two men and one woman.

The woman among them has a beautiful face but a proud expression. She is wearing a pink dress and looks like a proud peacock.

As Jiang Qiong came in, she glanced sideways and looked up and down. When she saw that Jiang Qiong's clothes were ordinary and his aura was not strong, she looked away directly, not bothering to look any further.

The two people standing next to her were a fat man with a round body and a young man with shrewd eyes.

The former seemed a little shy. When he saw Jiang Qiong, he hesitated a little, looking like he wanted to say hello but was embarrassed to speak.

On the other hand, the smart young man next to him had a smile on his face and greeted Jiang Qiong warmly.

"From now on, you four will be the apprentices of Lingshan Room No. 3."

Zhong Shan glanced at Jiang Qiong and others in front of him, and said with a serious smile: "In the future, you need to study your craft diligently, don't be lazy, don't cheat, or you will be expelled from Qian Zuilou!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed.

Zhong Shan then took out the jade slips, gave one to each of Jiang Qiong and others, and continued:

"The jade slips given to you contain some common sense about spiritual food, as well as some basic techniques that spiritual food apprentices need to master. You can take it back and study it carefully."

"After a period of time, I will personally test you. Those who fail will be punished."

"If you fail three tests in total, you will be expelled from the Lingshan Room."

These words were rather harsh, making the other three Lingshan apprentices look nervous.

Jiang Qiong deliberately showed the same expression on her face.

"That's all there is to say, let's go."

Zhong Shan waved his hand, turned and left.

"Huh, Master Zhong is so strict. I don't even dare to take a breath in front of him."

When Zhong Shan walked away, the chubby Hong Jingyuan took out a breath and whispered softly.

"Haha, a strict teacher produces a good disciple."

He Sheng, who had a sharp eye, patted Hong Jingyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Kong Lan, who looked slightly arrogant, glanced at the two of them, also a little nervous, and said:

"I hope Master Zhong's test won't be too difficult."

While the three of them were talking, more than a dozen other apprentices from the Lingshan Room came over.

They greeted: "Sister Kong Lan, Hong Jingyuan, and fellow Taoist He, it's time to attend Senior Brother Huang's banquet!"

Hearing this, Kong Lan turned around and looked over, staring at a young man with a handsome face. He changed his proud look and said with a smile: "Here he comes, he comes!"

As she said that, she looked at Hong Jingyuan and He Sheng, and said a little arrogantly: "Let's go together."

Except for Jiang Qiong, who came late, the other three apprentices in Lingshan Room No. 3 are relatively familiar with each other and have already formed a small circle.

Hong Jingyuan glanced at Jiang Qiong, slowed down, and tentatively said to Kong Lan and He Sheng, "How about we take this fellow Taoist with us?"

"Why are you taking him with you? Are you familiar with him?" Kong Lan glanced at Jiang Qiong. Although he didn't dislike him, he didn't mean to have a close relationship with him.

"Okay." Hong Jingyuan looked timid, not daring to talk back, and followed Kong Lan in silence.

See this scene.

Jiang Qiong looked calm and didn't care about Kong Lan's attitude. Every monk has his own circle.

There is no need to pay too much attention to anything that doesn't suit you or that you can't blend in with.

"The main purpose of my stay in Lingshan Building is to gain experience points..."

"The rest is secondary..."

Jiang Qiong did not forget his original intention and kept a low profile.

Walking out of Qianjiu Tower alone, he finished his duty and went all the way to Fangshi in Pingyun County.

In the market, Jiang Qiong changed his appearance and shrunk his bones, sold the unnecessary spiritual objects on his body, and bought some materials for casting magical instruments and drawing spiritual talismans.

Adhering to the practice of cunning rabbit and three caves.

Instead of checking out the inn room, he rented a remote cave in Fang City.

For the remaining ten days or so, every time Jiang Qiong finished her duty, she would return to Fangshi Cave Mansion to cast magic weapons and draw talismans.

The days passed by.

In the blink of an eye, there are only five days left before Zhong Shan's test.

This morning, the sky was clear.

Jiang Qiong walked into the Lingshan Courtyard of Qian Zuilou, and under Zhong Shan's instructions, dealt with a first-level monster.

However, the monster has just been killed.

He Sheng walked over from a distance with a smile and said: "Brother Jiang, the weather is nice today. My best friend has organized a tea party. Do you want to come and taste the spiritual tea together?"

After staying in the same spiritual dining room for more than ten days, He Sheng already knew Jiang Qiong and knew his name.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiong said without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness. I'm a little busy now. Maybe next time."

The Lingshan apprentice's tea party is basically a group of monks in the early stage of Qi training with no background, getting together to promote emotions.

It's not that Jiang Qiong looked down on them, it was just that she didn't need to go there, it was a waste of time.

Instead of going over to have tea and talk about boring topics.

Might as well kill two more monsters.

Accumulating experience points quickly is the right way.

"Well, then I won't bother Brother Jiang." He Sheng turned and left without forcing.

soon.

He walked to a remote area and found several monks.

"Jiang Qiong, you don't want to come?"

The person who spoke was a bald young man, with a piece of spiritual grass in his mouth and a slightly arrogant attitude.

He Sheng nodded and said, "Well, he was busy killing monsters and didn't want to come over."

"Ha, he's quite diligent." The bald young man sneered and said, "It's a pity that no matter how diligent you are, it's useless. If you don't have the background, you have to give up your position."

"The apprenticeship of Lingshan House is a good job. Many casual cultivators covet this position."

Speaking of this, the bald young man said to He Sheng: "Next, please inquire about Jiang Qiong's identity and background for me."

"Look how he got in."

"If he has no background, or his background is not strong, we will make room for him!"

"When the time comes, the benefits will be shared equally."

He Sheng smiled and said: "Okay!"

After saying that, he took out a pot of spiritual tea from his storage bag and turned back.

Once again, he came to the prison cell where monsters were imprisoned in Lingshan Yuan.

He Sheng found Jiang Qiong's figure, carrying the teapot, and walked over in a swaggering manner.
