Chapter 271 On the Self-cultivation of Black Brokers
After all, she was one of the influential figures in the Dark Star Domain, but she was ignored. This made Zi Lan feel very embarrassed.
"Oh~" Chi Yu just remembered her and dragged her to Yue Wuhen, "Let me introduce you to Zi Lan, the famous formation master in the Dark Star Domain. This is the leader of our Yunxi Sect..."
"She? Formation master?" Yue Wuhen frowned, obviously not quite believing it.
After all, the other person looks to be no more than ten years old.
Are you sure you can keep wearing this compliment from the master?
He immediately pulled Chi Yu to a corner and scolded her, "Don't bring anyone into the sect. How can this little brat be a formation master? Have you ever seen what a formation master looks like? Do you believe her?"
The volume of the words was not high, but Zi Lan, who had sharp ears, heard them clearly.
He immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Hey! Old man, are you questioning the ability of this genius?"
"Shouldn't I question it?" Yue Wuhen asked back coldly.
At such a young age, he dares to call himself a master of formations!
I don’t know who gave her the courage and confidence.
"Hmph, judging people by their appearance! Remember to apologize louder later!"
Zi Lan curled her lips, pointed at the mountain gate with a cold and arrogant look and said, "If this genius is not mistaken, your sect's formation is a castrated version of the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation.
Moreover, it is severely damaged and can only exert about 30% of its power at present.
If you meet an expert, he can crack it for you in half a day at most! Do you believe it?"
"Oh?" Yue Wuhen was quite surprised to see the clues of the sect protection formation at a glance.
It seems that she does have something.
She immediately stopped looking down on her and asked, "Then in your opinion, how should the formation be improved?"
The sect protection formation has always been a concern for Yue Wuhen.
In the great battle between good and evil many years ago, the Yunxi Sect was the first to bear the brunt and its formation was severely damaged.
Even though a master of formation was asked to repair it, the power of the formation is currently less than 30%.
If she really had the ability to repair it, it would be a relief for her.
"Improvement? Haha~" Zi Lan laughed and shook her head, "This formation is severely damaged. There is absolutely no need to improve or repair it."
"What do you mean?" The old man's eyelids twitched, "Could it be that this protective formation is simply abandoned?"
Without a sect protection formation, what should we do if others attack us?
Just like the Ao family, they are ready to make a move.
"No, no, no~ You don't understand what I mean." Zi Lan shook her head repeatedly and clasped her hands.
He put on a cold and arrogant attitude and said, "If you are willing to hire this genius with a high salary, I can consider giving you a brand new sect protection formation. The effect~ will definitely be more than ten times stronger than yours."
"Hmm~" Upon hearing this, Yue Wuhen frowned and secretly winked at Chi Yu.
The two came to the dark corner again, and the old man asked in a deep voice: "Can she be trusted?"
"I think so." Chi Yu touched his chin and replied uncertainly.
"What do you mean by should be able to? Can you be more reliable?"
Yue Wuhen was obviously not satisfied with her answer. He pulled a long face and said, "This concerns the safety of the sect. You can't joke about it! Don't be so careless! Show some attitude!"
"Anyway... the teleportation array we used to come back was repaired by her."
Chi Yu spread her hands and said, "It's up to you whether you want to hire her or not, but don't expect me to pay for it."
Chi Yu can also provide assistance if necessary.
As for paying money, forget it. That's her life!
Humph! It's harder to squeeze some spiritual stones out of your pocket than to pick stars!
The old man saw through her nature.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Well, go tell her that if she is willing to stay in my Yunxi Sect, I will give her... uh, a salary of fifty spirit stones every month. If she performs well..."
"Fifty dollars?"
Chi Yu was stunned and looked at the old man in surprise, "Is the sect going bankrupt? Fifty yuan is thrown into the bowl of a beggar, and the beggar will despise it. And you still want to hire a formation master for this?"
Being stingy has its limits!
"Uh..." Yue Wuhen choked and muttered, "Fifty yuan is not a small amount! You know, the salary of our sect's outer disciples is only twenty yuan a month."
"Please! Master of Formation, can you be on the same level as the outer disciples? Do you have any sincerity?"
Chi Yu was disgusted by the old man's stingy look, and he almost asked, "How could I know a miser like you?"
Yue Wuhen thought for a moment, frowned and asked: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
He didn’t know if he was crazy, but he wanted to hear Chi Yu’s opinion.
"One hundred thousand." Chi Yu said the number calmly.
"One year?" Yue Wuhen frowned even more tightly.
"What are you thinking about?" Chi Yu rolled his eyes, "I'm talking about the monthly salary."
"What!?" The old man screamed when he heard it.
One hundred thousand spirit stones a month, wouldn’t that be millions of spirit stones a year?
You know, the annual salary of a sect elder is less than half of this!
This is totally a huge exaggeration!
The old man shook his head again and again: "No, this is too much! I can't accept it!"
"Look at you, you are already so old, why can't you open up your mind?"
Chi Yu calmly persuaded him, "You should know better than me what a formation master is, right?
Those old men out there charge more than this amount for their appearance fees! And you only need to spend 100,000 to get her to work for you for a whole month! You will make a lot of money!"
"But……"
"Don't interrupt, just listen to me."
Chi Yu interrupted the old man and said, "Think about it, you can take her to other sects to earn some extra money. You can collect tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan from her at a time and get your money back in an instant!
Besides, we can sign a contract with her. The probation period is three months. If you are not satisfied, you can just kick her out. You don’t have to give me face.”
After hearing these words, the old man suddenly felt enlightened: "Hey~ Don't mention it, what you said seems to make sense!"
"If I say so, then it must make sense!"
Chi Yu acted like a life mentor: "You are too backward in your thinking! You must keep up with the pace of the new era, otherwise you will be eliminated from the world of immortal cultivation sooner or later."
"Okay, then go talk to her and see what she thinks." The old man thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
"Ouk~ Negotiation and such, that's my strong point."
After patting his chest and making some assurances, Chi Yu turned and walked towards Zi Lan.
"How is it, have you discussed it?"
Zi Lan leaned against the stone tablet, shaking her legs, and asked nonchalantly, "Do you want to hire this genius?"
"Come, come and talk."
Pulling him to a corner, Chi Yu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The old man said that he would give you a salary of 8,000 spirit stones a month."
