Chapter 301

Since the Zhou family decided to recruit outstanding talents from the outside to serve as the family guest minister, they graded the position of guest minister, which has three levels: A, B and C. each level of guest minister has different rights and treatment.

Among them, only friars in the foundation period can serve as first-class guest secretaries. Such first-class guest secretaries can sit in a third-class cave on Chihu mountain, or open a cave on other third-order Lingshan mountains of the Zhou family, and can receive 200 lower class Lingshi from the Zhou family for worship every year.

The friars of the Zhou family, in addition to the seven deacons, elders and elders of the foundation, salute and greet the first-class guest Qing when they see him, and the first-class guest Qing can also instruct the friars of the Zhou family to help them do some errands and chores.

The requirement of the Zhou family for these first-class guests is that they must complete a task for the Zhou family free of charge every five years. If there is no task within a five-year period, the number of times will accumulate.

If you receive a second task after completing your own task within five years, you can get rich rewards after completing the task. The rewards can be level 3 elixirs, talismans, magic tools, or a large number of spirit stones.

At the same time, if the Zhou family is attacked by foreign enemies, the worshippers of Keqing must fight unconditionally to guard the family.

The treatment of first-class guest Qing is excellent. The Zhou family has high requirements for recruiting first-class guest Qing. At present, no one has been seriously recruited by the Zhou family.

Compared with the first-class guest Qing, the second-class guest Qing's treatment is undoubtedly much worse. Not only can he receive only 80 inferior Lingshi every year, but his place of residence is only an independent courtyard on Chihu mountain. Moreover, his status in the Zhou family is only the same as that of ordinary Zhou family monks in the later period of Qi practice.

Most importantly, guest Secretary B needs to complete a related task arranged by the Zhou family every year, and the times can also be accumulated.

As for the worst class C guest Qing, he doesn't even have the qualification to live on Chihu mountain. He can only live on those third-order and second-order spiritual mountains. He receives only 50 pieces of inferior spiritual stones every year, but the number of tasks completed each year has increased to two.

However, these benefits are not invariable. If a second-class guest Secretary succeeds in building a foundation after joining the Zhou family, he can be promoted to first-class guest Secretary automatically without examination.

Class C guest Qing can apply to the family for promotion assessment every ten years. If he passes the assessment, he can be promoted to class B guest Qing.

The Zhou family also adopted hierarchical management measures in managing the offerings of these guest Qing. The first-class guest Qing is directly under the management of the patriarch. In principle, when recruiting, a person can be granted the status of first-class guest Qing only with the consent of Zhou Yang, the outgoing patriarch as the supreme elder of the Zhou family.

The recruitment of second-class guest secretaries and third-class guest secretaries only needs the consent of the patriarch, and the daily management is also managed and led by the foreign affairs elders.

After understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why Luo Qiang, after succeeding the foreign affairs elder of the Zhou family, is so enthusiastic about recruiting external talents to join the Zhou family.

There is no doubt about Liu Xuanxuan's talent for refining weapons, but after all, she is only a 21-year-old girl who practices three levels of Qi. Even if she can really get a foundation building pill from Zhou Yang to build the foundation, the Zhou family can't give her a first-class guest Qing before she builds the foundation.

This is actually a way to protect her.

If the Zhou family awarded her first-class guest Qing, not only the people in the family would question it. If outsiders heard the news, they would not have any bad thoughts.

The Zhou family is already big and difficult to make. There are certainly not a few who don't want another genius like Zhou Yang in the Zhou family.

It was precisely because of these that Zhou Yangcai did not show any special attention to Liu Xuanxuan after the assessment, nor did he stay to personally intervene in the matter.

Only by not letting people know how much he attaches to Liu Xuanxuan, can Liu Xuanxuan live a more stable and safe life in the Zhou family in the future.

This is the same as that immortal Qingyang valued him very much at the beginning, but only gave him a "xuanyang order", and there was no other action.

Zhou Guangxiang may not be clear about Zhou Yang's ideas, but he has one advantage, that is, he will never question and guess Zhou Yang's intention and will faithfully implement Zhou Yang's orders.

So when Zhou Yang listened to his report on the arrangement afterwards, he smiled with satisfaction.

According to Zhou Guangxiang's arrangement, not only did Liu Xuanxuan live in the yard arranged by the Zhou family for class B guest Qing, but his grandfather Liu Changhe was also left in her yard as a family member to practice.

Then Zhou Guangxiang arranged for her to work in the Zhou family's hundred art hall, so that she could openly learn the inheritance of some of the Zhou family's weapon refining skills, and get paid by completing the weapon refining task in the hundred art hall.

There is no specific number of tasks that the Zhou family will complete each year for guest Qing B. they can be the task of fighting against demons, or the task of refining weapons and elixirs.

As long as Liu Xuanxuan enters the Baiyi hall and Zhou Guangxiang takes care of her secretly, she can pass the weapon refining task every year, so that the Zhou family doesn't have to worry about her going out to perform the task when her cultivation is low.

Not two months after Liu Xuanxuan joined the Zhou family, good news finally came from what Zhou Yang had been waiting for.

Under the cultivation of the Zhou family at all costs, Xiao Ying finally succeeded in refining a furnace of three-level top-grade elixir, becoming the first three-level top-grade elixir since the establishment of the Zhou family.

At this time, Xiao Ying was only 97 years old when her accomplishments reached the seventh floor of the foundation.

There is no doubt that he can become a third-class top-grade alchemist with this cultivation and age. His talent in alchemy is strong.

Knowing that Zhou Yang was eager to go out and travel, and that she was full of expectations for returning to the immortal world of liuyunzhou, Xiao Ying only rested for two months after she was promoted to a third-class top-grade alchemist, and officially began refining and building foundation pills.

Refining and building Jidan is a big event!

While Xiao Ying was refining and building Jidan, Zhou Yang stopped everything and concentrated on protecting the Dharma for the Taoists outside the alchemy room in the cave.

After several days of refining, Xiao Ying finally lived up to her expectations and successfully refined the first furnace of building a foundation pill in her life.

Because it was the first time to refine Jidan, although the refining was successful in the end, there were only three pills.

Even if it is calculated according to a 20000 inferior spirit stone for building a foundation Dan, the Zhou family lost tens of thousands of inferior spirit stones in the material cost of refining this furnace for building a foundation Dan.

This is why, under normal circumstances, the third-order and inferior elixir of building foundation pill is refined by the fourth-order alchemist or even the fifth-order alchemist.

But Zhou Yang knows that for the Zhou family, this account can't be calculated like this.

First of all, the Zhou family can obtain and produce the main materials of building Jidan, the fourth level demon pill and "Diyuan spirit milk". In this way, if only other auxiliary materials are purchased, 10000 or 20000 spirit stones can be completely completed.

Secondly, zhujidan is a valuable and marketable thing in the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation world. Even if it is purchased at the market price in the liuyunzhou immortal cultivation world, there are many restrictions, so its value cannot be calculated with a simple 20000 inferior spirit stones.

For example, if Zhou Yang sold Jidan to all casual practitioners and families in the boundless Shahai, even if he priced a 50000 inferior spirit stone, many people still snapped up.

Third, Xiao Yinggang was promoted to a third-class top-grade alchemist. It was the first time to refine the base pill. It was normal to produce three pills. Later, when she refined the base pill several times and became familiar with the refining of the base pill, the number of pills will certainly increase to four or even five.

At that time, refining and building Jidan will certainly not lose money.

"Ying'er, you've worked hard. Let's have a good rest first. Let Wei Fu deal with the rest."

Outside the alchemy room, after Zhou Yang took the three freshly baked foundation pills from the Taoist couple Xiao Ying, he gently hugged the Taoist couple in his arms, picked them up, directly held them to the bed in the boudoir, told them to have a good rest, and then left the cave with the foundation pill.

After leaving the "Qianyang cave" of his practice, Zhou Yang immediately issued an order and convened the elders and Deacon elders of the Zhou family to hold a closed door meeting in Chihu mountain.

In the past few days, after Zhou Xuanhao arrived at Chihu ridge, Zhou Yang took out the foundation building pill refined by Xiao Ying and talked about the purpose of holding this meeting.

"As you can see, the three foundation pills contained in these three jade bottles were personally refined by elder Xiao Ying a few days ago!"

In the conference hall, as soon as Zhou Yang and all the participants arrived, they directly took out three jade bottles containing Zhu Jidan, placed them word by word on the stone table in front of them, and said the name of the pill in the jade bottle in a deep voice.

Boom!

Like the thunder, after hearing Zhou Yang's words, all the elders of the Zhou family and Deacon elders in the discussion hall were stunned.

Then the next moment, in the open hall of discussion, there was a rapid breathing sound of "wheezing".

You don't have to look at Zhou Yang to know that the voice must be made by the seven deacon elders who are still in the Qi training period.

As friars in the Qi training period and Deacon elders in charge of the Zhou family, these people and their descendants are certainly easier to obtain the foundation Dan than others.

Now I suddenly see that the Zhou family suddenly has three more foundation building pills, which are still refined by their own elders. It's strange if these people can keep calm.

But he still wants to say what he knows and should warn these people.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he put away the three jade bottles containing Zhu Jidan, then looked at the seven deacon elders coldly and said, "you don't want this posture, family rules can't be changed easily, so no matter how many Zhu Jidan in the family, should you use contribution points to exchange, or can you only use contribution points to exchange, Don't think the family will make an exception for someone who doesn't meet the rules! "

Swept by his fierce and cold eyes, and then heard his words with a strong warning, the seven deacon elders of the Zhou family were awed in their hearts and immediately recovered their consciousness. Then they looked at each other, and their hearts were like a soul. They arched their hands together and replied: "we must remember the instructions of the patriarch."

"You know, I'd like to talk about the reason why I called you here today. That is, I'm going to officially step down as the patriarch of the Zhou family. The new patriarch will be taken over by Guangxiang. Do you have any opinions?"
