The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Because of this news, the entire workshop was in panic and few people could work with peace of mind.

Manager Wu didn't see anyone, so Manager Cao, who now had the most authority in the workshop, became the target of everyone's siege and questioning.

Manager Cao could only comfort everyone, saying that no specific arrangements had been made yet and that everyone should just focus on their work. But how many people could really focus on their work?

Jiang Qichuang is in a difficult situation now. He receives the most refining work, but this month's share of the refining fees has not yet been settled to him. If the new boss ignores the old debt, he will suffer a huge loss.

Therefore, he had no intention to work at all. He either chased Manager Cao to ask if he could settle the share of the fees first, or contacted other weapon refiners to discuss countermeasures with them.

Xiao Han also wanted to have someone to gossip with and discuss future plans with.

However, Senior Brother Li is not a very good person to chat with. She often says a lot, but the other party can finish it with just one sentence.

For example, she and Li Moyun felt that they didn't know who would benefit from Mr. Zhou's huge industry, and they didn't know who would take over.

She said a lot, but Li Moyun only replied, "You'll know in a few days."

Then she asked, if the workshop no longer wanted apprentices like them, what would Senior Brother Li do in the future? Li Moyun instinctively replied with two words, "Leave."

This answer made Xiao Han choke and want to roll her eyes, but it also successfully extinguished her enthusiasm for gossip.

Xiao Han also wanted to run to other workshops to gossip with everyone like Master Jiang did, but Senior Brother Li acted as if nothing had happened and continued to do his work step by step.

In the end, Xiao Han had no choice but to calm down and continue working.

Two days later, Manager Wu came back and called everyone in the workshop together to discuss matters.

After receiving the notice, Xiao Han and Senior Brother Li stopped what they were doing and rushed to the hall in the front yard of the workshop.

As for smelting materials or refining magic tools when it comes to the critical moment, you can stay put for now, and the people around you will relay the content of the meeting to you at that time.

The work in Xiao Han and Li Moyun's hands was not critical, so they could stop and go to the front together.

When you walk into the spacious hall in the front yard, you will see a serious-looking old man sitting at the head of the table right in front of you. The aura and pressure he exudes from his body make people who come in shrink back involuntarily.

It was almost unnecessary to guess, knowing that this old man must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for a Core Formation cultivator, that was out of the question. It was said that there were only seven or eight Core Formation cultivators living in the entire Zixiao City, all of them important figures, so why would they come to such a medium-sized refinery?

Chief Steward Wu and Steward Cao stood beside the Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the two were talking in low voices.

In the workshop, whether it was the chef working in logistics, the cook serving meals, or the odd jobs, they all stood in the hall together with the weapon refiner apprentices.

It's just that everyone was naturally divided into groups. The weapon refiners stood in the front row, the apprentices stood in the middle, and the other workers stood in the back.

Xiao Han believed that if there had not been the old foundation-building master in front of him, the hall would have been in chaos and noisy at this moment.

Soon, a small manager who was in charge of running errands came in to report to Manager Wu that everyone who should have come to the workshop had arrived, and those who didn't come were all busy refining equipment and couldn't leave.

Only then did Manager Wu take two steps forward and begin to announce the fate of the Bailian Refining Workshop.

The workshop has been temporarily taken over by the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion will count the items according to the registered raw materials, magic tools, and all property lists in the workshop. No one is allowed to privately keep things belonging to the workshop, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Any magical weapon received by the weapon refiner that has not been completed must be handed in after the refinement is completed, and the share will be received according to the previous regulations.

For all workers and apprentices whose wages are settled on a monthly basis, their wages for this month will be settled on a full monthly basis.

As for whether the weapon refiners would continue to work in the workshop, that would require further information from the City Lord's Mansion. All apprentices' contracts were terminated.

Even though there was a foundation-building cultivator in charge up front, after hearing the arrangements, everyone couldn't help but discuss it in low voices.

The old man who was in the foundation-building stage coughed and suddenly released some pressure. Everyone in the hall was suddenly startled and silent.

Manager Wu glanced at everyone and asked, "If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask."

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, he asked everyone to return to their respective work places. After the people from the City Lord's Mansion came to count and receive the items, everyone could collect their wages and go home.

Seeing that he could still get a share of the money for the magic tools he received, Jiang Qichuang stopped being lazy and started helping out with the work so that he could finish the work as soon as possible.

The manager sent by the City Lord's Mansion also began to check the account books and count the raw materials and magic tools in the workshop warehouse.

Xiao Han felt very emotional. In those novels about cultivating immortals, obtaining the property in the caves of those senior cultivators was considered a great opportunity.

If Zhou Dongjia's property had not been taken away by the City Lord's Mansion, but all the property was concentrated in his cave, and then the cave was placed in a mountain and restricted, wouldn't it be another good treasure hunt plot?

Since the news of the fall of the master and the change of ownership of the weapon refinery came out, Jiang Qichang had not taken on any new tasks. After a few days, he had almost finished refining everything he needed.

The three of them worked hard for a while. As there was no food in the cafeteria at noon and they had nowhere to eat, they worked together throughout the lunch hour. Finally, at 3 p.m., they finished refining the magic weapon in their hands.

Jiang Qichang was too lazy to take the magic weapon for testing and was ready to hand it in. Then he glanced at the workshop and, with a wave of his hand, put the remaining raw materials, the furnace, the anvil, the high-level magic hammer, the sledgehammer, and other refining tools into his storage bag.

Then, he said to Xiao Han and Li Moyun standing beside him, "I'm not the kind of person who eats alone. You two take one of the two mid-grade magic hammers and put them in your storage bags."

Xiao Han was a little scared and asked hesitantly, "But the people from the City Lord's Mansion will come to count the items. If they find that so many things are missing..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Qichang glared at her. "Are you stupid? The workshop has been open for decades, and there's no record of these things. I'm a weapon refiner, and I even said that I bought these things myself. The City Lord's Mansion has occupied the entire workshop, and we weapon refiners who have worked for many years haven't received any benefits at all. What's the point of taking a few tools?"

Seeing that the two hesitated and didn't move, he added angrily, "I am kind enough to share some things with you, but you still don't want them. Forget it, I will take them all. We refiners have already discussed it. Everyone will take their own refining tools."
