The manager said that most people think it is not appropriate to exchange gold coins for spirit coins and spirit beads. Chen Xiao felt a pain when he heard the specific ratio. The bank charges a 10% handling fee when exchanging. In other words, you can only exchange 90 spirit coins with 10,000 gold coins. It is said that this is because there are few sources of spirit coins. Therefore, the handling fee is a bit unfair. However, when exchanging spirit coins for gold coins, no handling fee is charged.
Chen Xiao calculated that if he exchanged all the 3,000 gold coins in the bank into spirit coins, he would only have 27.
Today he deliberately asked Pang Hemu that the monthly salary for hiring a high-level monk was 100 gold coins. With Chen Xiao's deposit in the bank, he could hire a high-level monk to work for him for two and a half years.
The best martial artist only needs ten gold coins per month, which is the same as the headmaster of the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion. No wonder Pang Hemu thinks the price is expensive. Moreover, there is another condition in the employment of monks: if the monk is about to advance, the employer cannot stop him without reason. The employer cannot deliberately issue orders that insult the monk's identity and reputation.
In other words, this senior bodyguard may run away midway or refuse unreasonable demands from his employer. The high price and conditions make it difficult for monks to reach any cooperation with ordinary people. However, Chen Xiao did not consider those. When he had no ability to protect himself, a high-level monk could guarantee his safety.
Chen Xiao has made up his mind to make a name for himself as a Feng Shui master in this world, and this requires the assistance of the compass. However, the luck absorbed by the compass is only enough to barely appear in front of his eyes for a short while. Therefore, Chen Xiao needs to do more Feng Shui, or do bigger Feng Shui, to gather luck.
After a long time of silence, Chen Xiao wanted to move to another place. Although the county town was large, it was a local city after all, and it was slow to accept new things like Feng Shui. After radiating the circles that had intersections with Pang Hemu, Chen Xiao had done business with most of the wealthy businessmen. The rest were diehards who did not believe and resisted, so Chen Xiao was too lazy to pay attention. As for the powerful and noble families in the county town, with Chen Xiao's current fame and status, he could not break into their class.
In fact, the wealthy and powerful families in this city all have immortal cultivators in their families, or have very close relationships with immortal cultivators. There is an invisible barrier between immortal cultivators and ordinary people, and ordinary people simply cannot break through this barrier. Chen Xiao is now blocked outside by this invisible barrier.
If it were in the past, Chen Xiao might have had the patience to slowly look for a breakthrough point. But now, he felt that his time was precious. He didn't have the energy to waste on these complacent guys.
When he was at Pang's house, after talking to Pang Hemu about hiring someone, Chen Xiao talked to him about this issue. Pang Hemu also felt that the development of the housing art in the county city had encountered a bottleneck. So he suggested that he go to the capital of Dai State and open up a new battlefield. Maybe there would be new opportunities there, or accumulate greater fame, and then come back to knock on the door of the powerful family in the county city.
Pang Hemu had some connections in the capital, and he said he could write a recommendation letter to Chen Xiao to ensure that he could successfully make his first Feng Shui plan in the capital. And after having a successful case, he could quickly gain a foothold and open up the situation, just like his development in the county city.
Chen Xiao thanked him for his kindness, but he had other plans in mind. He couldn't tell Pang Hemu about this plan, because he had to see if he could find a suitable high-level cultivator first.
Having made up his mind to leave the county town for development, Chen Xiao began to make arrangements in advance.
First, he bought the courtyard where he currently lived. Chen Xiao had developed feelings for his first place in this world and planned to buy it. When he returned here in the future, it would be more convenient to have a ready-made place of his own.
Secondly, it was the family of Chen Changgen from Fan Village. Although Chen Xiao had resolved the cause and effect between them by arranging Feng Shui for them, and also repaid the kindness of the other party on behalf of Han Wa, the other party didn't know that if anything happened, they would still come to him, and he couldn't just ignore it.
Chen Xiao asked Master Zhou Wu, who came to the county city again, to send a message back to the Chen family, telling them that he was going to travel and study. However, he was still working as the third shopkeeper in the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion. If there was anything, he could ask the chief shopkeeper for help. He had already arranged everything and would definitely help if he could.
Chen Changgen was illiterate, so he only delivered the message verbally. In addition to this verbal message, Chen Xiao also asked Zhou Wushi to give him three hundred silver coins, asking him to go to the market and pick a strong ox to bring to the Chen family. Because of the hard work of Chen Changgen's family, they have paid off their foreign debts. Chen Changgen is no longer a farmhand, but rents a few acres of land to farm. With this ox, they can be more relaxed.
Master Zhou Wu felt like he didn't recognize Chen Xiao anymore. Every time he came, he had a drastic change. Especially in the past six months, he had been growing and developing at an astonishing speed. A year ago, he was just a small clerk, but now he was qualified to be on equal footing with the boss behind the caravan.
Master Zhou Wu usually likes to take a puff of tobacco. Looking at the high-quality tobacco that Chen Xiao gave him, Master Zhou Wu had a premonition that Han Wa would become a remarkable guy in the future, perhaps a big shot that he could only look up to before.
After finishing these things, Chen Xiao went to two more houses and looked at the last one. Pang Hemu told him that he had found several suitable candidates for him. This time, the two met in the main house in the backyard of the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion. Pang Hemu gave him a thin piece of paper.
Pang Hemu said sternly, "You also know that the identities and temperaments of these monks are different from those of ordinary people. So we can't call them here in advance and let you choose one by one. You can first see which one is suitable, and then have a detailed interview."
Chen Xiao understood immediately. Isn't this just looking at the resume first and then conducting the interview? Chen Xiao nodded: "Thank you very much."
Pang Hemu's serious expression suddenly disappeared, and he said with a smile: "This little thing is nothing. I also want to thank you for helping me decorate the house. Now the monthly sales of Taxexue Xunxian have increased. This Feng Shui is really effective!"
The Feng Shui that Chen Xiao arranged for his shop was particularly effective. Pang Hemu always felt lucky that he met Chen Xiao when he was still a nobody, and he made friends with him without putting on airs. Now Pang Hemu was looking forward to Chen Xiao's greater development in the future, so that he would be proud of it when he talked about it.
Chen Xiao smiled at him, lowered his head and read the contents of the paper carefully. Why did he feel that the look in Pang Hemu's eyes when he looked at him was like that of a fan who accidentally discovered a new star with great potential but is currently unknown, and is waiting for the other party to soar into the sky and spread the light of "boo boo boo"?
The paper contained the names, ages, cultivation levels, family situations, and brief life stories of the five people. Their ages ranged from twenty to forty, and their cultivation levels were similar, all at a high level. Of course, there might be more detailed divisions among the realms, but such information involving cultivation content was generally tacitly kept secret. Pang Hemu couldn't find out either.
"I think the guy in front is good." Pang Hemu sat opposite him and said, "He stayed in school until he was 20 and then came out. He worked in the security team for five years and now is the time to work hard. You can consider it."
Chen Xiao looked up at him and asked curiously, "Why do you think he's good?"
Pang Hemu organized his words and said, "He joined the security team right after graduating from the academy, so at least he didn't give up cultivation. He has also had a few years of experience, and the age difference between you and him is not too big, so you should get along well." He glanced at the paper in front of Chen Xiao, "The rest of them are older. You should know that the older you get, the less blood you have. Without the hope of reaching a higher level, it is easy to become lazy in cultivation."
Chen Xiao didn't look at him, staring at the words on the paper and said, "I think there is another most important reason, which is that the younger people are, the less burden they have on their families, so they can be easily persuaded to leave the county town with me."
Pang Hemu hummed, "That's one reason. Another is that he's young, which means he still has some time to break through. During the time you've hired him, he probably won't suddenly ask for a breakthrough and abandon you halfway. If he really abandons you at a critical moment, then you'll be helpless and that's no joke."
Chen Xiao blinked: "It shouldn't come to that, right?" After all, one should have professional ethics. Even if one has to quit the job temporarily, one should at least send the employer to a safe place before leaving.
Pang Hemu frowned and said, "How is it impossible? I only know one thing. There was a big tea merchant who had to travel a long distance. He was afraid of being attacked by wild beasts on the road, so he hired a monk. But halfway through the journey, the monk suddenly wanted to break through and refused to continue his journey. He insisted on staying in seclusion on the spot. The big tea merchant had no choice but to terminate the employment with the monk and continue on his way. Fortunately, nothing happened on the rest of the journey, otherwise it would be so unfair."
Chen Xiao couldn't help but frown after hearing this and said, "It's too unlucky to encounter such a situation."
Pang Hemu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! These cultivators said that it is very difficult to have opportunities to advance. Once they have a breakthrough, they will grab it at all costs, regardless of life or death."
Chen Xiao finally picked the two oldest ones, one in his thirties and the other in his forties, and completely rejected the young cultivators under the age of thirty, which was completely contrary to Pang Hemu's suggestion.
This puzzled Pang Hemu, so Chen Xiao explained, "It's good for young monks to be passionate, but older monks are more tactful and calm. I'm already very young, and I need a monk who has seen the world and can help me deal with things."
When Pang Hemu heard him say that, he remembered that he was only eighteen years old. When talking to him, Pang Hemu completely forgot that he was not yet twenty and was not considered an adult in this world. Pang Hemu nodded: "That's right, I forgot this."
