"Elder, I want to exchange for a Body Tempering Pill.”In the end, Tang Jie spent 3000 contribution points to exchange for a Body Tempering Pill.
Tang Jie returned to his residence with the Body Refinement Pill.
When he got home, Tang Jie couldn't wait to open the small wooden box. The Body Refinement Pill inside emitted a fragrance, and its powerful medicinal strength was something that only martial artists in the late stage of Body Refinement could withstand.
Martial artists with weaker bodies would not be able to receive any nourishment!
Tang Jie gulped and swallowed the Body Refinement Pill.
The Body Tempering Pill entered his stomach and gradually turned into a medicinal power that nourished and tempered Tang Jie's body.
"Ding! Consumed Body Refinement Pill. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the buff state of Body Refinement!”
[Body Tempering: Greatly strengthen one's physical fitness, tempering one's bones and muscles, allowing body tempering martial artists to achieve twice the result with half the effort. It works in the later stage of body tempering. Duration: 24 hours ( -).
Tang Jie also obtained a new buff as he wished. As usual, Tang Jie changed the duration of the buff to unlimited.
"Now I have to cultivate faster and reach the peak of the tenth level of body tempering as soon as possible. Then I'll prepare to break through to the Houtian realm!”
Tang Jie was excited.
There was a huge gap between a body refining martial artist and a precelestial martial artist. In the end, a body refining martial artist was just stronger than an ordinary person. On the other hand, a precelestial martial artist was much more powerful after cultivating true qi!
If a body refining martial artist could fight against ten, then a Pre-Sky Realm martial artist could fight against a hundred!
In the Eastern Cloud Sect, many elders and deacons were only at the Postnatal realm.
Xiantian experts were the pillars of the Eastern Cloud Sect. There were only a handful of them. Even in the entire Grand Xia Dynasty, they had some prestige!
"Excuse me, is Senior Brother Tang here?"
Just as Tang Jie was about to start a new round of cultivation, someone knocked on the door of his house and a clear sound rang out.
"Who's looking for me?"
Tang Jie was puzzled. Judging from the voice, it was a woman, but he didn't remember knowing any female disciple in Eastern Cloud Sect!
In his confusion, Tang Jie came to the courtyard door and opened it.
Tang Jie looked up. There was not only one person standing outside the door, but three people, two men and one woman.
The two men were both tall and strong, and they emitted an oppressive aura. Their eyes flickered with a bright light. This was the characteristic of martial artists, and their strength was not ordinary!
The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her facial features were exquisite and she looked dignified and beautiful. However, she looked very weak and did not look like a martial artist. The person who knocked on the door just now should be her.
"Is there something you need from me?"
Tang Jie was puzzled. He did not know any of these three people.
The two men sized up Tang Jie with different expressions.
The girl smiled and said,""Senior Martial Brother Tang, let me introduce myself. I am Zhou Xiaowen, an outer sect disciple who recently joined the Eastern Cloud Sect. I heard that Senior Martial Brother Tang had become an inner sect disciple, but I didn't expect that Senior Martial Brother Tang had not moved away.”
Inner sect disciples could move into the main peak of the East Cloud Mountain. Outer sect disciples were not qualified to enter that place. Tang Jie had just become an inner sect disciple and was prepared to move in a few days later.
Tang Jie did not speak. He did not know Zhou Xiaowen.
Zhou Xiaowen saw this and knew that Tang Jie was a pragmatic person. She did not waste any time and directly stated her purpose of coming."Senior Martial Brother Tang, I am from the Zhou Clan of Xun Hua. I would like to invite Senior Martial Brother Tang, Li Wenli, and Senior Martial Brother Li Wufeng to join our Zhou Clan as consecrators.”
"Offered?"
Tang Jie was surprised.
Some families would invite warriors to be their offerings to avoid trouble. In this era, without a powerful warrior to protect them, it was easy to be targeted by others and become a fat sheep to be plundered.
Therefore, in addition to nurturing martial artists, these rich families would also invite some other martial artists to become the family's offerings.
Every month, the family would pay a certain amount of salary to the martial artist, and the martial artist had to help the family when they were in trouble.
Tang Jie also did not expect that someone would take the initiative to look for him to become a Guardian.
But thinking about it carefully, the current Tang Jie was an inner sect disciple of the Eastern Cloud Sect. It was not strange that someone would come looking for him!
The two men following behind Zhou Xiaowen were obviously also inner sect disciples of Eastern Cloud Sect. Moreover, they had already agreed to become the Zhou Clan's Revered Martial Artists.
"I happen to be short of money. If I become the Zhou family's Guardian, I might be able to get enough money to buy the Clear Heart Pill!”
Tang Jie's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't that opposed to becoming the Zhou Family's Revered Martial Artist, as long as there were benefits!
" I can become the Zhou Clan's Revered Warrior…"
Tang Jie's response made Zhou Xiaowen happy.
The main reason why Zhou Xiaowen joined the Eastern Cloud Sect and became an outer disciple was not to practice martial arts. Her main purpose was to get to know the Eastern Cloud Sect's ancient martial art practitioners. This way, she could also add some help to her family.
Tang Jie was not much older than her, but he had already become an inner sect disciple. It was probably only a matter of time before he advanced to the Houtian realm in the future. Inviting him to become an honorary martial artist would not be a loss!
But before Zhou Xiaowen could be happy, Tang Jie continued,""In terms of salary, I want two thousand taels of silver a month!”
"Two thousand taels of silver?"
Zhou Xiaowen's expression changed slightly when she heard this. Li Wenli and Li Wufeng, who were beside her, frowned.
Two thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. Most of the time, it was basically not needed to worship martial artists. Two thousand taels of silver a month was twenty-four thousand taels of silver a year. This was definitely a huge sum of money!
Just as Zhou Xiaowen was about to say something, Tang Jie continued,""And I need an advance of one year!”
Even though Zhou Xiaowen had a good upbringing, she almost couldn't hold it in. Not only did he need 2,000 taels of silver a month, but he also needed to pay a year in advance? In the end, how could a martial artist at the seventh level of body tempering be worth so much money?
Zhou Xiaowen could still hold it in. On the left side, the burly Li Wufeng, who was close to 30 years old, revealed a faint mocking expression and said,"Junior Martial Brother Tang, my brother and I agreed to become the Zhou Family's Revered Martial Artists, but our salaries combined are not even comparable to yours. You've just become an inner sect disciple, aren't you overestimating yourself a little too much?”
Li Wufeng directly said that Tang Jie was not worth this price. He and Li Wenli had both entered the inner sect for several years, and their cultivation had reached the ninth level of body tempering. They were almost at the peak of body tempering.
Tang Jie was only at the seventh level of body tempering, and he had just become an inner sect disciple, but his asking price was higher than their combined price. The two of them were naturally unhappy about this and felt that Tang Jie was a little arrogant to become an inner sect disciple.
Facing Li Wufeng's ridicule, Tang Jie was not angry. He only said indifferently,"I think I'm worth this price."
Tang Jie's tone was filled with a faint confidence. He was indeed worthy of this salary. Moreover, in his opinion, the Zhou family had profited. After all, with Tang Jie's potential, his strength would increase rapidly. At that time, his asking price would not be so low.
Zhou Xiaowen's expression was troubled. She was in a difficult position. Tang Jie was asking for so much. Even if she was willing to pay this money, her family would not agree.
"Hehe…If you think you're worth the money, then let's prove it with facts. If you can defeat us, we won't become the Zhou Family's worshiped martial artists, and you can also achieve your goal.”
Li Wufeng said with a smile. He had made up his mind to teach this new junior brother a lesson. If he asked for a higher price than his brothers, wouldn't he think that he was stronger than them?
Zhou Xiaowen, who was standing at the side, was also slightly delighted. Indeed, both sides would know after a competition. Tang Jie being able to defeat the Li brothers naturally proved that he was qualified to take this price!
Tang Jie did not refuse. He nodded."Sure, you two can come together.”
When he said this, even Li Wenli, who had a better temper, could not hold it in anymore. He wanted the two of them to work together to deal with a disciple who had just entered the inner sect? This was undoubtedly a form of contempt!
