Chapter 399 Adjusting Salaries
Ye Changsheng smiled and nodded, then elaborated on his new monthly salary system: "This is what I think. The annual salary of a wife who enters the Dao Court is 200 million spirit stones, the annual salary of a wife in the Purple Mansion period is 20 million spirit stones, the annual salary of children and daughters-in-law in the Purple Mansion period is 10 million spirit stones, the annual salary of children and daughters-in-law in the Foundation Establishment period is 2 million spirit stones, and the annual salary of children in the Qi Refining period is 500,000 spirit stones."
After hearing this, Ye Tianjing's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
He thought about it carefully, and then said: "Master, this plan is very good. However, should we also consider the treatment of the maids?"
Ye Changsheng nodded in agreement: "You are right. Regarding the maids, this is what I think: the annual salary of the maids in the Purple Mansion period is 1 million spirit stones, the annual salary of the maids in the Foundation Establishment period is 500,000 spirit stones, and the annual salary of the maids in the Qi Refining period is 100,000 spirit stones. What do you think?"
Ye Tianjing smiled approvingly: "The master is very thoughtful. Such treatment is enough to make the maids feel valued and can also motivate them to practice harder."
The two discussed some details, such as how to announce the new monthly salary system and how to deal with possible dissatisfaction.
Ye Changsheng handed Ye Tianjing another 52 million high-grade spirit stones, equivalent to 5.2 billion spirit stones.
This way, Ye Changsheng still has 400 million high-grade spirit stones in his hand.
Finally, Ye Changsheng made the decision: "It's settled. Tianjing, you are responsible for conveying this message. If there are any problems, report to me in time."
Ye Tianjing responded respectfully: "Yes, master. I will definitely handle it properly."
After the discussion, Ye Changsheng returned to his retreat room.
He has been in the Daoting period for more than four years, and has completely stabilized the realm of the first level of the Daoting period.
Now, he is ready to start practicing the magical power, one of the most important fighting abilities in the Daoting period.
Ye Changsheng sat cross-legged on the futon, opened the "Taiyi Xuanyuan Sutra", and carefully read the magical powers recorded on it.
He knew the importance of magical powers, and some powerful magical powers were no less powerful than magic weapons.
After careful consideration, Ye Changsheng decided to practice three magical powers first: Taiyi True Fire, which is more powerful among the fire magical powers, Biluo Wangu among the wood magical powers, and Taigu Xuanhuang among the earth magical powers.
Ye Changsheng started practicing Taiyi True Fire first.
This is an extremely domineering fire-type magical power. It is said that its power can burn everything, even space.
Ye Changsheng followed the instructions of the scriptures and began to condense the fire-attributed spiritual power in his body.
As time went on, a faint purple flame beat in his palm, emitting amazing heat.
Next, Ye Changsheng turned to practice Biluo Wan Gu.
This is a highly defensive wood-type magical power that can summon a magical forest, which can not only resist the enemy's attack, but also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the practitioner.
Ye Changsheng circulated the wood-attributed spiritual power, and gradually, a miniature emerald green forest formed around him, exuding vitality.
Finally, Ye Changsheng began to practice Taigu Xuanhuang.
This is a powerful earth-attributed magical power that can control the power of the earth and even cause earthquakes.
Ye Changsheng condensed the earth-attributed spiritual power and felt the pulse of the earth.
Slowly, the ground around him began to shake slightly, as if responding to his call.
Practicing these three magical powers is not a matter of one day or one night.
Ye Changsheng spent a lot of time practicing every day, constantly improving his control over these magical powers.
Sometimes, he would encounter bottlenecks, but he was always able to break through the difficulties through meditation and comprehension of scriptures.
In the intervals between practice, Ye Changsheng did not forget to pay attention to the affairs of Qinghu Peak.
From time to time, he would ask Ye Tianjing about the implementation of the new monthly salary system to ensure that everything was running normally.
In this way, time passed day by day.
Ye Changsheng's cultivation was steadily improving, and the three magical powers gradually took shape.
As time went by, Ye Changsheng's progress in practicing magical powers became faster and faster.
He realized that in order to master these powerful magical powers faster, his own efforts alone were not enough.
So, he decided to use some external forces to speed up the process.
Ye Changsheng took out two precious spiritual fruits from his storage bag: the fourth-level upper-grade Wushen fruit and the fourth-level upper-grade magical fruit.
These two spiritual fruits were all spawned by him in the fairy tree space before, and they have been kept for emergency use. Now is the best time to use them.
He first took a fruit of enlightenment, and immediately felt a cool breath spreading in his mind, and his thinking became clearer than ever before.
Then, he took another fruit of supernatural power, and the spiritual power in his body immediately became active, as if it had its own consciousness, and began to actively cooperate with his supernatural power practice.
With the help of these two spiritual fruits, Ye Changsheng's practice speed was greatly improved.
The skills that originally required repeated attempts to master can now be integrated with just a little practice.
The contents of the scriptures that once confused him also became clear and easy to understand at this moment.
In this way, time flies, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Ye Changsheng devoted almost all his energy to the practice of supernatural powers.
Whenever he felt tired or encountered a bottleneck, he would take a fruit of enlightenment or supernatural power to recover and break through the difficulties.
After four years of hard practice, Ye Changsheng has made great progress in mastering the three supernatural powers.
The Taiyi True Fire was able to change freely under his control and form various shapes; the forest summoned by Biluo Wangu was getting larger and larger, and its defense was getting stronger and stronger; and Taigu Xuanhuang could easily control the terrain of several miles.
Just when Ye Changsheng was about to continue to study these magical powers in depth, an unexpected visitor interrupted his practice.
"Master, there are guests visiting."
A maid respectfully reported outside the door.
Ye Changsheng was slightly startled, then remembered something and smiled.
He tidied his clothes and walked out of the practice room.
The visitor was Li Changfeng, the leader of the Five Heroes of Zifu before Jinguang Fortress.
After many years, Li Changfeng was still elegant and outstanding.
"Brother Changfeng, how are you?"
Ye Changsheng greeted him warmly.
Li Changfeng smiled and bowed in return: "Brother Ye, long time no see, congratulations on your advancement to the Dao Court!"
Ye Changsheng smiled modestly: "No, no, I am far behind you, Brother Changfeng. Come in, I have prepared a spiritual feast to entertain you."
The two walked and talked, and came to a quiet courtyard.
A rich spiritual feast had already been set up here, with all kinds of rare spiritual fruits and spiritual wines.
Ye Changsheng specially took out a pot of fourth-grade high-quality enlightenment tea and poured it for Li Changfeng personally.
"This is a good tea that I have collected for many years. Today I specially took it out to entertain Brother Changfeng."
