My brother is so cunning.

Wen Rui sat behind the counter of the temporary store in the Chamber of Commerce's secret camp, holding the tea cup leisurely and sipping the fragrant tea in small sips.

This cup of spiritual tea is made from the buds collected from the tea tree grown from the compost of the spiritual stone. It is more delicious than any famous tea that Wen Rui had drunk before he traveled through time.

During this trip to the secret realm, most of the unlocking fees have been earned, and the rest can be used to earn some scattered silver from the monks who came to explore the realm.

After all, small mosquitoes are still meat, and the accumulated sand adds up to a tower. Every time the secret market is settled, the actuarial net income will give Wenrui a big surprise.

Now that the secret realm has just been opened, the supplies stored in the bags of the monks who came to explore have not been exhausted. Wen Ruishang can still steal half a day's leisure. In a few days, business will be booming. He is not in a hurry. .

While he was resting, the store door was suddenly pushed open, and two acquaintances walked in. They were the brother and sister from Qingcheng Mountain.

"Yo!" Wen Rui waved and said hello casually: "How come you two have time to come to my shop instead of exploring the secret realm?"

Li Yu smiled awkwardly. He seemed to have been forced to come here by his junior sister, and he hadn't thought of his words for a while.

Cheng Ziwei, a girl with a round face, pouted and said angrily: "Humph, those monks from the big sects have surrounded the entrance to the secret realm and won't let monks from small sects like us enter!"

"Oh~" Wen Rui seemed to have known the inside story for a long time. He stood up and walked over with two tea cups and handed them to them: "Are we going to charge you a head fee?"

"Hey, how do you know?" the girl asked in surprise, but as soon as she rolled her eyes, she figured it out: "Yes, it's because Brother Wen Dao charged such an expensive fee to unseal the seal that they thought of recruiting small sects like us. It’s no idea that the monks are looking for money to make up for their losses!”

"Blame me?" Wen Rui shrugged.

"It's not my fault..."

Cheng Ziwei frowned and said, she thought about it and said frankly: "Well, I am indeed a little angry. I just want to break the seal. Five million spirit stones are too expensive."

Li Yu said with a bitter face: "I would like to apologize in advance for my junior sister, and please don't take it personally, brother Taoist."

"I thought it was too little!" Wen Rui looked as usual and replied with a smile: "Five million spiritual stones are enough to sell the secret treasure that a senior Jiejiao has accumulated throughout his life. The seniors have spirits in heaven and will definitely meet." It doesn’t hurt to accuse me of selling my father’s land.”

"Eh?" Cheng Ziwei was stunned and asked: "Is this secret realm intercepted by you?"

"Nine out of ten secret realms in the world are left behind by our senior Jie Jiao. Do I charge a unlocking fee? What I charge is a secret realm transfer fee."

Wen Rui took a sip of tea and spoke in a rather melancholy tone.

"How...how is this possible?"

The girl blinked her big eyes and said in disbelief: "Master said that the secret realms were left by the ancient immortals. The immortals either died or ascended, and the small home world they opened up became an unowned secret realm, waiting for future generations to discover it. "

Wen Rui nodded, and then asked: "Yes, so among the three religions of Chan, Ren, and Jie since ancient times, which religion has the most immortals and the most fallen immortals?"

"Well... excluding the words of the saint, the twelve golden immortals of Chanjiao appear in the world, the human sect only has the Great Master Xuandu, and the Jiejiao is known as the Ten Thousand Immortals coming to court, and the number of immortals is endless... In the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, three thousand mortals died... …”

While thinking about the memories, Cheng Ziwei said hesitantly: "Ah, so to speak, Immortal Jie Jiao really left the most secret realms."

Wen Rui added: "Well, there are still twelve out of ten immortals who are casual cultivators, but these casual immortals can also be regarded as non-staff disciples of Lord Tongtian. Most of them have been to Biyou Palace to listen to his public classes."

"I see, I've learned a lesson!" Cheng Ziwei cupped her hands and said: "Five million is really not much. If you compare yourself to others, if it were Brother Wen Dao who replaced me, I'm afraid I would receive more."

Her resentment dissipated a lot when she entered. Seeing that Wen Rui was not as aggressive as when she faced the Mahayana elders at the entrance to the secret realm, she became more interested in talking.

Ignoring the frequent hints from her senior brother, Cheng Ziwei continued: "Just now, I watched you unravel the three great principles of 'All Dharmas Unify', 'Earth Divides into Four Images' and 'Void Has Extremes', and opened it. After entering the secret realm, are these great principles also recorded in the Jiejiao scriptures? "

"Absolutely. There is no standard answer, but the method to guide us to obtain the answer is written in great detail."

Wen Ruiyu said vaguely: "The most important thing in the Jiejiao teachings is to teach the disciples scientific thinking methods, which is the so-called 'scissor of the avenue'. It is specially used to cut and intercept fragments of the avenue for study. Mastering this 'scissor of the avenue' , comprehending the great truth will lead to getting twice the result with half the effort.”

"Wow!" The girl's eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars: "It sounds so powerful. That's right, Jiejiao was created by a saint after all, so it must have its own uniqueness."

"Want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Of course I want to learn. Are you willing to teach me? Are there any conditions?"

"Just take an oath to join my religion."

"Ugh -" the girl dragged her voice, showing an expression of "I knew it was so", and curled her lips and said: "I don't want it. Master treats me so well. If he knew that I had betrayed the master, he would definitely become angry and sick. I I don’t want to take care of him.”

Wen Rui spread his hands and said: "Then there is nothing we can do, but if you change your mind in the future, you can come to Lishan Jinling Sect to find me."

"No way!" The girl rolled her eyes at Wen Rui and then said to Wen Rui: "We are going back to Qingcheng Mountain. This time we came here to say goodbye to Brother Wen Dao before leaving. You are quite interesting. See you later.”

Her senior brother also bowed slightly and said, "Farewell, I hope we'll meet again."

Wen Rui smiled inadvertently. The world of immortal cultivation is not full of evil spirits. There are many young people with vigor and pure minds. It's a pity that good people are easy to suffer losses. Bad money drives out good money. After soaking in the big dye vat for a long time, people will inevitably change.

This is also the reason why many immortal stories are about young people. A group of old foxes who are over a thousand years old playing Liao Zhai stories will not be attractive no matter how they are written.

Unless those old foxes who are thousands of years old live like dogs at an old age, they behave like 17 or 18-year-old brats, and they fall in love with women to death when they see them.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, please stay for a while."

Suddenly thinking of something, Wen Rui hurriedly called out to the two who had already stepped out of the door: "Since you two have come here, it would be a waste of time to go back like this?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Yu said ashamedly: "We are from small sects, and the spirit stones we carry can't pay the entrance fee to the secret realm. If we don't go back to Qingcheng Mountain, it's meaningless to stay here."

"It just so happens that my store is short of staff, how about you do some short-term work in my store?"

Wen Rui asked tentatively: "My treatment here is not low, with a daily salary of 100 spirit stones, free meals and accommodation, four-hour work system every day, and overtime pay of 20 spirit stones per hour. Work The content is simple, nothing more than entertaining guests and doing some chores. "

Cheng Ziwei looked around the empty and deserted shop and asked doubtfully: "You don't look like you need a lot of manpower here."

"It's not busy now, but it will be different in a day or two."

Wen Rui said meaningfully: "Do you think exploring the secret realm is a garden party like playing house? Soon, my shop will be crowded with people, especially the pharmacy and the clinic. If there are not enough people, I can't rescue them!"

The daily salary for odd jobs outside is 100 Lingshi. If the disciples of Lishan Xianzong, whose monthly salary is only 100 Lingshi, know about it, they will probably cry in the place of reincarnation.

The salary standard offered by Wen Rui is actually not too high. It is only slightly better than mining, but it has the advantage of low risk and guaranteed income. The disciples of the big sects may not be interested, but it has a certain appeal to the disciples of small sects like Qingcheng Sect.

The two brothers and sisters chatted together for a while, then agreed to it. They signed a temporary employment agreement with Wen Rui, temporarily became employees of the city, and started their working life.
