Regardless of what the applicants thought, Eryi's recruitment requirements remained unchanged. The requirements remained the same: 1. Wood spiritual roots. 2. Articulation. Cultivation level had nothing to do with it.
Another criterion, which has not been made public, is the ability to get along well with other employees.
In the end, three Qi Refiners and five Foundation Establishment Masters were recruited.
A little unexpected.
Originally, Eryi had thought that Qi-refining cultivators, at the lowest level of the cultivation world, might be better at communicating than other cultivators. After all, at a certain level, cultivators could speak with strength, not just words.
The eight newly recruited cultivators are all independent cultivators, including the five foundation-building cultivators, and none of them belong to any sect.
Most of those who become independent cultivators have weak spiritual roots. Reaching the Foundation Establishment stage through self-effort is no easy task. Over the years, reading people's expressions has become second nature.
"You must understand that when working for me, all standards have nothing to do with cultivation."
The eight new employees recruited to Shanhai City all possess higher cultivation levels than the previous three. To avoid any issues with work assignments, Eryi will first make a statement before signing the contracts with everyone.
Afterwards, Eryi set aside a small area in the middle of the fifth floor where the staff lived, allowing them to rest and socialize. He also set up a bookshelf and placed the cultivation manuals he'd purchased from various markets, as well as the jade slips he'd exchanged from the system, there for several employees to use.
Thinking that there were several foundation-building cultivators among the new employees, Eryi selected several spells that could be learned by the foundation-building cultivators in the mall and purchased them. After he prepared to study them himself, he placed the carrier jade slips on the bookshelf.
Cultivation techniques are quite expensive. If you include all the previous expenses, the total value of all the jade slips and books displayed in the entire staff area exceeds 300,000 energy points.
However, this only accounts for the tip of the iceberg in the mall.
…
Du Jun entered the foundation-building stage thirty years ago and is now 123 years old.
In reality, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage on one's own is no easy feat for independent cultivators. After reaching this stage, most would choose to join a sect or family. However, his bone age was too great, and his aptitude was poor, so no sect was willing to accept him.
This also meant that he couldn't obtain the right technique. He had been stuck in the early stages of foundation building for thirty years, making no progress. Relying on the techniques he'd acquired during the Qi Refining stage, he'd refined his spiritual energy over and over again, but without the technique, he couldn't break through.
Du Jun hadn't been in Shanhai City very long, just over three years. He had originally been a small, independent cultivator from somewhere else, but after learning that Shanhai City was the perfect place for independent cultivators, he slowly made his way here, spending about five years there.
Shanhai City was a great place. If you had enough spirit stones to acquire a technique you couldn't find elsewhere, you could simply pay them and have the technique copied from the city lord's library.
But storing spirit stones is not that easy.
Although Du Jun was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he lacked the offensive techniques that a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator could master, possessing only spiritual power. Even when he went to the Infinite Sea to hunt for sea pearls, he was unable to earn many spirit stones.
Due to ability issues, he cannot go too deep.
Starting from a lower position than others, you will be inferior to others in every way.
After another three years of this, he finally learned his first Foundation Establishment spell. Not long after, the Healing Station began recruiting.
For a master who has reached the state of transcendence, let alone ordinary employees, even recruiting a sweeper would attract a long line of people, claiming that cultivation level is not important. The spiritual root requirements are also simple, requiring only one to be a wood spiritual root. This might be a threshold for the chosen ones with single or double spiritual roots, but for casual cultivators with four or five spiritual roots, this opportunity is truly rare.
The interview questions weren't difficult; they were simply given some information to write down and then answer. Those who had heard the news lined up, including some Jindan disciples from major sects.
But none of these Jindan monks were left behind.
Du Jun was cautious. He realized that this great medical practitioner might have a better temper than other great masters.
The most obvious thing is that she did not release her own pressure.
If you've been in the world of cultivation for many years, you'll notice that the more irritable the powerful are, the more they enjoy exerting their pressure. This may not be a big deal for them, but it can be very uncomfortable for other cultivators, especially low-level Qi-refining cultivators.
If you are not careful, you may suffer internal injuries.
Those who come to the treatment station to apply for jobs, especially the Jindan cultivators, all intentionally release a little pressure, as if they want to show that their cultivation is higher than others.
With this in mind, Du Jun completely put away his intimidating power and treated everyone with courtesy, including the original employees of the treatment station.
He was left behind.
The tower contained his own residence, allowing him to move out of the temporary cave he rented in Shanhai City. Within the tower were books and jade slips for them to freely access and study. These included not only common cultivation techniques, but also books on refining equipment, alchemy, and even formations. According to the Immortal Master, more suitable cultivation techniques would be added later.
After Du Jun and a few others arrived at the staff area, they stood there in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Seniors," Lin Xinyi interrupted their thoughts, "The boss asked me to ask you, is there anything you want to learn in the future?"
"This is a medical clinic. After working for a month, you can begin learning the methods of medical cultivation. However, this method does not affect other skills. It is up to you to choose whether to learn it or not."
"Why do you ask this?" a new Qi-refining cultivator asked boldly.
"It's hard for us to guess what the boss is thinking," Lin Xinyi said with a smile. "But she asked me the same question before, and I said I was interested in battle formations. Later, we came up with this."
…
After letting the employees familiarize themselves with the treatment stations, including their own residences, Eryi returned to his lounge.
She hopes to give her employees a sense of belonging. Cultivators in the world of cultivation are willing to do ordinary work rather than freeing up time for cultivation, simply in the hope of advancing their cultivation.
Forget about raising their salary; she wouldn't give it, but she encouraged them to learn. It wasn't hard for her anyway; if they learned, she could learn too.
Eryi's personal lounge had been expanded into a small Chinese-style courtyard. In her study, a sleep-medical pod was placed. This was for her personal use and had not been converted to the standard form used in the cultivation world.
Eryi took out the magic jade slip he had just purchased from the mall, put it into the interface next to the medical cabin, and lay down in the medical cabin.
[Immersive mode, ten times the time, on.]
Initially, sleeping medical cabins were used instead of regular bedding simply because they reduced fatigue by 1 point every 2 minutes, a greater effect than all other bedding combined. The skills in the cultivation world required a higher level of fatigue than other planes.
Plus, the convenience of being able to handle some things during rest, such as watching TV series, browsing forums, and even sending messages to other dimensions, made Eryi abandon ordinary bedding and turn to the embrace of the medical cabin.
A bottle of nutrient solution has 5,000 energy points, which she can more than afford now.
Ever since Yuanli entered the treatment station and activated immersion mode, Eryi discovered a new feature: she could load study materials into the medical cabin, where some of the information would be presented in a very easy-to-understand manner.
If the skills were purchased from the system mall, certain scenes would even be simulated for her to practice casting spells.
After all, there was still a slight difference between Eryi's magic power and spiritual power. What she couldn't do in reality, the medical cabin could simulate for her. Later, she was actually able to unleash certain cultivation techniques in the world of cultivation, though the effects weren't very good. This was probably related to her own attributes.
…
The Soul-Replenishing Pill exchange business at the Healing Post was extremely popular, and even some Jindan cultivators fell in love with hoarding this stuff. Within a day, they would report to the Healing Post and exchange for this special Soul-Replenishing Pill.
When talking about the elixir of life, we have to mention Xuan Shi.
Unlike other low- and middle-level cultivators, he only needed a moment to realize that the "Spiritual Replenishing Pill" in the treatment station was actually the storage and refinement of spiritual power.
The cultivation world has always been conducting research on the storage of spiritual power. The most common method is to store spiritual power in talismans and magic weapons. All of them are to seal the spiritual power in advance using different methods and then take it out when needed.
However, whether it was talismans or using spiritual energy to nourish magic weapons, they could only be effective during battles, but could not be used for cultivation or even for breakthroughs.
After leaving the treatment station that day, he had been keeping an eye on its movements. He was also aware that City Lord Yue was backing the treatment station.
People have different thoughts. Low- and mid-level cultivators would think that the Healing Station is connected to the Moon City Lord, who has everything and naturally wouldn't be interested in their little cultivators' things. Therefore, their trust in the Healing Station would instantly reach its peak.
But Xuanshi is different, he is a cultivator who has achieved the state of out-of-body experience.
He felt that there were too many things about himself that were worth pursuing.
