"Elder Rong!"

"Elder Rong!"

The two refiners sitting in the hall also stood up, looking at the person who appeared at the door in surprise.

Li Wan turned his head to look, only to see a handsome middle-aged man in rich clothes and jade crown, walking in with a few entourages.

From the names everyone called him, it can be heard that this is also an elder in Tiangong Workshop.

"Elder Rong, I seem to have a little impression. When did you hear it?" Li Wan vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard it mentioned by others.

He collected himself and turned his gaze to Elder Yun to see what he had to say.

Elder Yun coughed dryly, and said, "Elder Rong, we are listening to Li Daoyou's application for contracting Jin Lingshang, do you have any objection to what he said?"

Elder Rong glanced at him and sat down opposite Li Wan.

Several attendants also stood behind each other and looked at Li Wan. This posture was like interrogating a prisoner in court.

"Li Daoyou, could it be that you are a new craftsman? A few days ago, I was recuperating due to illness. I never thought that Tiangongfang would recruit new people again. I haven't asked this Li Daoyou what kind of school, who is the master, what is the matter?" His special skills can even make the eldest lady who has always been picky to be full of praise." Elder Rong smiled coldly, with a tinge of yin and yang.

Elder Yun's complexion changed slightly: "Elder Rong be careful, Li Daoyou is my Tiangong workshop's refining master, not your junior!"

Li Wan also frowned, and said, "Elder Rong, may I ask you what position you have in the workshop, I'm the craftsman in the workshop, could it be under your jurisdiction?"

"I am an elder in the workshop. Although I am not responsible for recruiting personnel, I also have the authority and obligation to test and supervise newcomers. Young people, don't be so angry. I have no other intentions, just asking you about it as a matter of routine." Elder Rong said leisurely, "You haven't answered what I said just now. You want to use colorful peacock feathers, but you don't infiltrate them with refined dew. What is your intention?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Elder Rong." Li Wan didn't pay attention to his aggression, but said, "The secret method inherited by the younger generation is not small, and it cannot be revealed to others at will, and the method used by it is not the ordinary generation. I can understand, school examinations, supervision and so on, it’s better to be exempted, when I refine this brocade feather dress, Elder Rong will naturally know that colorful peacock feathers can be concocted without Bailian Zhenlu.”

Li Wan inherited the "Qi Zong Da Canon", and always integrated the experience and experience of the ancient Qi Zong masters. Invisibly, he also established a strong self-confidence along the way of Qi Dao, and he will never allow anyone to trample or despise him.

When Elder Rong heard this, a trace of gloom appeared on his handsome face: "Okay, okay, I also want to see what extraordinary abilities the craftsman specially recruited by the young lady has."

After saying this, he stood up, turned and left without even saying hello.

Elder Yun looked at them with a pale face, but he never said anything more.

"Elder Yun, just now..." Li Wan looked at him suspiciously.

"He is Elder Rong!" Elder Yun looked at Li Wan with a little apology, "You really made Li Daoyou laugh."

"I'm still confused. I don't seem to have provoked this person?" Li Wan saw that Elder Yun had a kinder attitude towards him, and he didn't like this person very much, so he tried to test with a stick.

Elder Yun said: "During your trial, the workshop you entered belonged to him. He contracted the Fire Scale Brocade Clothes, but he retired due to illness in the middle of the training. Maybe he heard that you came, and there was some misunderstanding. Well, this is due to poor arrangements in the workshop, we will find a way to help resolve it later, please don't worry about it."

"There is such a thing, why didn't you say it sooner?" Li Wan said in surprise, but secretly called bad luck in his heart.

He faintly felt that he was caught in something, but fortunately, he was alert just now, and the sentence "the secret method inherited is not small", blocked other people's temptations, and faintly pulled the tiger's skin as a banner, so it had the effect of spreading doubts .

Based on this sentence alone, in a short period of time, the other party should not dare to play any tricks, but it is hard to say after a long time.

"We didn't expect this to happen. I'm really sorry, but Li Daoyou, you don't have to worry about it. There are rules in the workshop, and he can't control you. If there are some gossips, just blow them into your ears."

"If you really don't care about me, you can let me be a deaf ear, but if something else happens, then I'll be the first to say something ugly, please forgive me for not being with you." Li Wan said bluntly.

"Absolutely not, fellow Daoist Li can rest assured about this." Elder Yun said hastily.

The good discussion was disturbed by Elder Rong. Elder Yun seemed to be worried that Li Wan would be angry, so he didn't ask any more questions, and quickly approved all his applications.

Anyway, the value of the materials used does not exceed [-] Lingyu. Even if something goes wrong, there are compensation regulations and various aftermath measures. There is no need to make people feel that they are being made trouble.

Back at the Jingshe, Shi Haoguang and Xing Tongfang were already waiting there, asking how Li Wan was doing.

Li Wan thought for a while, and told them about Elder Rong. The two were the only friendship he had here, and everyone counted them up.

"How did Tiangongfang arrange it, it would actually make such a mess, but it seems that it is not as simple as that elder Rong targeting you. He is an elder, and there is no need to target you, a newcomer. You may fall into the The Fangzhu faction had a dispute with the elders, so he took the opportunity to come and see you." Xing Tongfang put forward his own opinion.

Both Li Wan and Shi Haoguang became interested: "What's going on?"

"I've also heard it from people, I don't know if it's true or not." Xing Tongfang pondered, "I heard that Fangzhu's health has become worse and worse in recent years..."

It turns out that Tiangongfang has been established for many years, and it has always been passed down from generation to generation by the owner of the workshop. It is already a family property, but in the process of development, in order to cope with crises and attract talents, a lot of rights have been allocated, and the elders have gained more and more money. The more, the inevitable phenomenon that the tail is too big to drop.

Originally, the lineage of Fangzhu, after all, is the owner of Tiangongfang, and sits on the geographical advantage, occupying all kinds of advantages, but in recent generations, the foreign elders have also begun to take root, spread branches and leaves, set up descendants and apprentices, infinite chess pieces, Gradually they gained the upper hand, but this generation of Fangzhu was accidentally poisoned during a treasure refining process, and he is still suffering from serious illness until now, and the power of Fangzhu's line has gradually declined.

Up to now, Fangzhu's lineage can only be supported by the eldest lady.

"Speaking of this eldest lady, she is really a strange woman who does not give way to her beauties. She has already established a foundation at a young age and has outstanding talents in Jindan Avenue, but in order to revitalize her family business, she resolutely changed her career. To become a craftsman, she is betting on her own future and competing with those elders. This determination alone won a lot of support, and then she innovated the craft, changed the dividends, and increased income. The rake and incentive measures currently implemented in the workshop, as well as the management of Tiancaidibao, distribution and sales methods, and even the helpers we applied for a while ago, are all promoted by her, and she won the handymen and apprentices at once. , and even the support of various casual cultivators has kept his family business, which can be described as turning the tide."

"There is such a thing?" Li Wan was really surprised when he heard this.

The way of refining weapons is difficult and obscure, and it is not something that ordinary people can get involved in, but this young lady dares to put her life on the road to learn. This kind of courage is rare in the first place.

Then, it is to innovate the technology, and to change the dividend, and to make drastic innovations in the key points of Tiangongfang to increase revenue generation. This pattern and method are really extraordinary.

"What she started was not the refining tool itself, but it was of great help to the refining and sales of the entire magic weapon, and increased income, which was equivalent to grasping the lifeblood of Tian Gongfang. In this year, who would follow Lingyu can't make it through, even if it's an opponent, he doesn't dare to disturb her good game of chess."

Li Wan only now understands after listening to Xing Tongfang's explanation that in order to compete with these elders, the first thing to obtain is the actual control of Tiangongfang itself, and then, to strive for income generation, and to use both kindness and power to control the overall situation in one fell swoop.

But it's easy to say, how many people in the situation have such foresight and courage?

Even Li Wan, an outsider, couldn't help being fascinated and admired secretly.

"A craftsman wants to refine crafts, but what if there are no treasures from heaven and earth? They are all collected by the deacons in the workshop. The craftsmen want to sell magic weapons, but what should they do if there is no market? They also need to rely on the deacons in the workshop to make a name for themselves. Contact Customers, even the servants, the disciples, and the processing of materials all need someone to take care of them... These things cannot be ignored.

In the current era, it is no longer tens of thousands of years ago. Tens of thousands of years ago, magic weapons were used by monks themselves, or bestowed on juniors. There was never a mention of selling them. Seniors made one for themselves, and traveled around the world to collect natural materials and earthly treasures. , I have exhausted my whole life's efforts, but now, which sect's big sect orders thousands of magic weapons at once?Which real treasure is not sold at an auction house for a sky-high price of [-] million?

The eldest lady complies with the times and the general trend, and changes the pattern of the entire Tiangong workshop, so that it is no longer the old-fashioned workshop. If there are a few more outstanding master craftsmen under her command, who can suppress the elders, it will be even more powerful. . "

"That's true." After hearing this, Li Wan couldn't but sigh that Xing Tongfang was right.

The current situation in ancient and modern times is different after all. Some practices of ancient monks, in the eyes of today's monks, are out of date.

A master craftsman... Don't look at your skill in crafting, there is no workshop to prepare materials for you, no Tiangong workshop to take orders, no customers... What kind of magic weapon is refined, how is it refined, and who is it sold to?

These problems were all solved by the eldest lady alone, no wonder even those elders who wanted to seize power had to surrender.

"Wait, what do you mean, the eldest miss is missing the help of a master craftsman?" Li Wan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something. ;
