Chapter 16

11:30 PM.

Supervisor Xu Ming notified everyone on the third floor to gather, preparing to start today's guide work.

Li Yi woke up from meditation, he was energetic and not sleepy.

This is a benefit of cultivators, because during meditation and cultivation, the body and brain are already in a semi-rest state, plus the evolution and transformation of the body, cultivators are energetic most of the time and will not show fatigue and drowsiness.

When he walked out of the room, others had also appeared in the corridor.

What made Li Yi quite surprised was that he saw Wu Zhen also standing at the door. Although he was bruised and swollen, full of bruises, and his eyes were congested, his state didn't look particularly bad, and he could move freely without any sequelae.

It has to be said that the physical fitness and recovery ability of cultivators are different.

If it were a normal person, he would be lying in the hospital by now, and don't even think about getting out of bed for a week.

"Did I hit too lightly? Or is it that ordinary fists and feet no longer have a particularly large effect on dealing with cultivators?" Li Yi pondered secretly in his heart.

This Wu Zhen didn't even open the Spirit Medium and had such anti-beating ability. If it were some more powerful cultivators, wouldn't physical attacks become a joke? Could it be that one has to use thermal weapons to deal with cultivators?

While he was thinking about this problem, Wu Zhen also stared at Li Yi from a distance.

He was full of fire in his heart. Anyone who suffered such a big loss could not swallow his anger.

But Wu Zhen didn't dare to show it. He knew that this Li Yi was a ruthless character. If there was another conflict, it might really cause human life.

"Later, let's see, don't let me catch the opportunity, otherwise I won't let you go." He could only swear secretly in his heart, seeing if he could retaliate later.

"All guides follow me, this guidance work will be carried out on the top floor." Supervisor Xu Ming said: "The work of the previous batch of guides will end in twenty-five minutes, so everyone has about twenty minutes of preparation time. Within these twenty minutes, everyone must meditate and start guiding cosmic energy."

"There is another batch of guides? Who is this employer, so rich and imposing." Zhang Gao felt surprised when he heard it.

Supervisor Xu Ming said: "Not only that, we invited a total of four batches of guides, each batch of guides works for six hours, ensuring twenty-four hours of uninterrupted supply of cosmic energy. You are responsible for the night shift, so you can't see the other two batches of guides during the day."

"However, these have nothing to do with everyone. Everyone just needs to do their own guidance work. Now, please follow me to take this special elevator to the top floor."

Soon.

Several people took a spacious and comfortable special elevator directly to the top floor.

The entire top floor was built with heavy money for cultivation equipment. Here, Li Yi saw top-level medical pods, and also saw the golden nutrient solution. Even in some tempered glass display cabinets, he saw many antique-level old weapons, including swords, spears, and ge.

And in the middle of the building, a huge semi-circular "egg" was actually placed.

"That half egg is... a cultivation pod? God, I only saw this thing in the news, never seen it in reality. It is said that once this cultivation pod is opened, it can isolate the pollution of our world, keep the energy inside pure, and if combined with a sufficient number of guides, it is equivalent to artificially creating a pure energy field. Sitting inside and cultivating is comparable to having a mystic object." Someone opened his eyes wide, feeling shocked.

"Comparable to mystic object cultivation? Isn't this cheating?" Zhang Gao was also startled.

That person said: "Bah, what cheating, this is the power of technology, no, this is the power of money, you won't understand."

"New guides, keep quiet." Suddenly, a cold voice came.

The voice was not loud, but it buzzed in the ears, carrying an inexplicable deterrent force.

Li Yi's expression changed, and he looked in the direction the voice came from.

That was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, wearing a black long gown. Although he was just sitting there with his eyes closed, he gave people an unspeakable sense of danger.

"This person's cultivation level is very high, is he a bodyguard?" Li Yi looked a little bit, didn't dare to look too much, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Others also sensed the danger of this person and immediately shut up.

Li Yi then kept his gaze on the surroundings of the cultivation pod.

At this moment, there were a full eight cultivators sitting around the cultivation pod. They were men and women, all placing their hands on specific positions of the cultivation pod to constantly guide pure cosmic energy into the cultivation pod, and they had been in this state for nearly six hours.

"It's really terrible, a batch of seven or eight guides, a total of four batches, twenty-four hours of uninterrupted guidance of cosmic energy, plus cultivation pods and top-level nutrient solution... What kind of cultivator is this going to cultivate."

Li Yi clicked his tongue secretly.

Look at other people's cultivation, and then look at ordinary people's cultivation.

No wonder ordinary people can't turn over even after cultivating, and can only work as guides to make a living.

This gap between having money and not having money can no longer be compensated by simple cultivation values, unless everyone is like Li Yi, lucky enough to go to the waste city area and risk his life to pick up a mystic object.

But even if he possesses a mystic object, it might only be comparable to someone else's cultivation pod.

The remaining gap still cannot be compensated.

Although surprised, work still has to continue.

After Supervisor Xu Ming simply explained the situation, others began to sit around the cultivation pod one after another.

On the cultivation pod, there is a palm-sized circular area. That area is amber and slightly transparent. I don't know what material it is. Guides can penetrate pure cosmic energy into it by touching it with both hands, while polluted cosmic energy cannot enter the cultivation pod.

This is very strange.

But it is precisely because of this strangeness that the cultivation pod is amazingly expensive.

Just as Li Yi sat down, Supervisor Xu Ming found him: "Li Yi, the contract you signed is the second one. According to the amount of cosmic energy guided, your salary will be paid. You don't need to worry about others when guiding later. This cultivation pod will separately calculate the cosmic energy input situation at each position, and won't count you a penny less."

"There is such a function? I know." Li Yi nodded.

"Everyone can start working."

After Xu Ming introduced the situation, he left.

Soon.

Seven people began to adjust their state and began to meditate to enter the cultivation state.

At this time, the previous batch of guides also woke up from meditation.

They were all very familiar with the work process. After waking up, they didn't say a word and left together, while Supervisor Xu Ming took them to eat and settle today's salary by the way.

Li Yi, who entered the state, was more cautious at this moment.

He didn't guide a large amount of cosmic energy into the cultivation pod at the beginning, but first slowly captured some surrounding cosmic energy and guided it over.

Li Yi didn't want to expose the fact that he possessed an incomplete mystic object, so he planned to proceed step by step, control a quantity, and at the same time, he could also cultivate during this period.

Gradually.

Everyone entered the working state, and the surroundings also became unusually quiet.

Six hours of meditation, during which it cannot be interrupted, otherwise the salary is halved.

However, for everyone with cultivation experience, this is not difficult to do, because they cultivate at least seven or eight hours, or even ten or more hours at a time on weekdays.

It's just that today is a bit difficult for Wu Zhen.

He was injured, and the pain was still there, which made him wake up from meditation after two hours.

"Damn." Wu Zhen cursed in a low voice, his mood was very bad. He knew that he could only get a salary of 4,500 per hour today.

He didn't have time to hate Li Yi now, so he had to adjust his state and continue working.

Fortunately, this job is settled daily. As long as his body recovers tomorrow, his salary will change back.

And at this moment, Li Yi felt that the time was almost right, and began to secretly guide the cosmic energy on the knife coin into the cultivation pod.

While he was doing this, on the computer monitor next to him, the cosmic energy value belonging to position No. 6 was rapidly soaring.

Thirty-five... seventy... ninety... one hundred and one, the value was still rising.

In a short time, Li Yi guided more than one hundred units of cosmic energy, which indicated that he had earned ten thousand yuan in this little time.

But he didn't dare to pull the value too high, so he stopped after a while.

Afterward, Li Yi repeated this operation after waiting for two hours.

The purpose of doing this is to imitate the energy explosion of the wormhole.

If it were continuous, stable, and high-quantity guidance of cosmic energy, the employer in the cultivation pod would immediately notice his abnormality.

But short-term explosions would not make people have any suspicion.

Everyone's position is different, and the number of wormholes around them and the amount of cosmic energy leaking are also different.

Even if they are separated by one meter, the gap could be one heaven and one earth.

So no one can prove that Li Yi has a problem.

Unknowingly, the time had reached six o'clock in the morning.

The first day of guidance work ended.

When Li Yi opened his eyes, he found that several strange cultivators were already sitting next to him.

They had just started meditating, obviously another batch of guides who came to take over the shift.

Supervisor Xu Ming came again, and he signaled that Li Yi, Zhao Xiaoxiao, Zhang Gao, and others could leave.

They didn't say a word, silently took the elevator to the cafeteria in the building to eat.

"The work is very easy, six hours passed in a flash." Zhang Gao smiled happily: "And food is provided, really good, it's a pity that the employer doesn't hire people long-term, otherwise I really wouldn't want to leave."

"That cultivation pod is really magical, it can actually isolate polluted cosmic energy, I really don't know how that is done." Someone next to him was very curious.

Zhao Xiaoxiao said: "The most magical thing is that piece of glass, pure cosmic energy can penetrate into it, but polluted cosmic energy cannot penetrate into it."

"That's not glass, it's scales." Suddenly, Supervisor Xu Ming explained.

"Animal scales? What animal? Fish?" Zhang Gao asked.

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "If that's scales, then it definitely can't be fish scales. Fish on Earth don't have such large scales, and they can also have the ability to isolate polluted energy. Are they scales on extraordinary creatures?"

Xu Ming said: "Not bad, that is Qiu scales." ===== CHAPTER 17 =====
