"Yes! Yes! Of course I won't!" Shopkeeper Zhou immediately said excitedly, "I just wanted to ask you if I can buy those second-grade pills at the market price. Although I am now in the Golden Core Stage, my cultivation has always been very unstable. For warriors like us, many of the pills you refine are simply elixirs that can improve our strength!"
He Xi was stunned for a moment, then immediately said speechlessly: "If you want to take the pill, just take it directly. Why buy it at the market price?"
Although she now has more than 100 million yuan in crystals, after learning about the market for hiring warriors, she realized that with her wealth, she could not even afford a team of warriors in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although she didn't have many Yuanjing, she could have as many pills as she wanted. There was no need to worry about it.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou was in a dilemma, He Xi understood and said thoughtfully, "How about this, Shopkeeper Zhou and Xi San, each of you has the right to withdraw three second-grade pills and five first-grade pills from the account every day. If there are more third-grade and fourth-grade pills produced in the future, you can also withdraw them at your discretion. Well, you can choose the best quality pills for all the pills."
"These are additional rewards besides your remuneration."
Pills are fine for assisting in cultivation, but over-reliance on them is harmful rather than beneficial to improving one's strength, so three to five pills a day is definitely more than enough.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou and Xi San were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Shopkeeper Zhou thought of He Xi's proposal and immediately changed the subject. He smiled and said, "Sir, you just mentioned using elixirs to recruit the doctors and guards of Shengde Hall. I think it is completely feasible. For ordinary warriors in the foundation-building stage, if you set the conditions, the applicants will surely line up from East Street to West Street."
He Xi nodded, and the specific arrangements and remuneration for these matters were directly handed over to Xi San and Zhou Yan'an to plan.
However, He Xi was still a little worried.
After all, this method can recruit at most warriors in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and at most they can serve as thugs and guards outside the Shengde Hall.
However, if they were to encounter a master who came to provoke them, or other forces who came to cause trouble, these Foundation Establishment guards would obviously not be enough.
It is certainly not impossible to recruit warriors in the Condensation Vein Stage and the Golden Core Stage. After all, money makes the world go round.
But firstly, Hexi did not have that much money, and it was obviously not possible to make high-level warriors obey his orders just by relying on first- or second-grade elixirs.
Secondly, the high-level warriors recruited were obviously to be guarding the inner hall, so they would inevitably be exposed to some secrets of Shengde Hall and herself. If there were spies sent by other families mixed in, it would be too dangerous for He Xi.
High-level guards from major families are usually trained from childhood, or the guards have leverage over them so that they dare not betray them.
Hearing He Xi's worries, Manager Zhou looked back at Gu Liufeng without saying anything.
But Gu Liufeng, who had been sitting next to him and hadn't spoken a word, suddenly said, "Xiao Yue'er, come with me."
He Xi didn't think much and followed Gu Liufeng all the way down to a remote corner in the backyard of Shengde Hall. Gu Liufeng suddenly took out a jade slip and slowly input spiritual power into it.
The jade slip soon lit up with soft light, and a secret passage that could only accommodate one or two people walking side by side slowly appeared in the corner that was originally blocked on three sides. (To be continued)
