Soon, Zhongyang finished handling everything.

"Do you have any specific requirements?" Zhongyang asked.

Tang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Above the Nascent Soul stage, someone who is easy to get along with."

"Of course, it would be best if they also have a graceful figure, after all, it's pleasing to the eye."

"You know what I mean."

Zhongyang smiled meaningfully and then said, "I'll do my best, but I can't fulfill all your requirements."

"However, the sect is only responsible for helping you connect with each other. Whether or not you can keep the person, that's up to you."

Tang Tian nodded.

It's basically like a middleman.

"Agency fee..."

"Ahem, how is that charged?"

Tang Tian almost blurted out.

Zhongyang said, "We will release the information today, and starting tomorrow, someone should come to find you."

"After finding a suitable candidate, let me know, and I will register and remove the information."

"For each person you choose, you need to pay one million spirit jade as an introduction fee."

"If you haven't reached an agreement, under normal circumstances, you also need to compensate the other party with one hundred thousand spirit jade as a time compensation."

"Of course, if someone intentionally tries to profit from this, just inform me, and the sect will take appropriate action."

Tang Tian pondered for a moment. This rule is like an interview.

And it's a paid interview.

That's what equality is all about.

Unlike those companies in my previous life, they all acted high and mighty, saying "wait for our message" regardless of whether you passed the interview or not.

It's simply outrageous!

"Understood."

Tang Tian nodded and took out one hundred pieces of top-grade spirit jade again.

"I'll prepay some of the introduction fee."

"If it's not enough, I'll make up for it later."

Zhongyang smiled and nodded.

One talent costs one million, and one hundred pieces of top-grade spirit jade is equivalent to one billion.

It's definitely enough.

He didn't believe that after Tang Tian finds a retainer, he would have the audacity to ask for the remaining spirit jade back.

After completing all the procedures, Tang Tian walked out of the elegant room and left the Hall of Honor with Gu Xiaoxue.

On the way, Tang Tian asked, "Xiaoxue, how did Elder Zhongyang find you?"

Gu Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment and then said, "Senior Sister brought him."

"Senior Sister said that I shouldn't always stay in the cave to cultivate and should have more contact with the outside world. Coincidentally, I needed to earn money to buy Nascent Soul Pills, so I found Elder Zhongyang."

Tang Tian fell silent for a moment and asked again, "Are you and your Senior Sister on good terms?"

Gu Xiaoxue smiled, "Of course."

"Senior Sister is the personal disciple of Elder Uncle. Since I came up the mountain, she has taken care of me the most."

"She taught me many cultivation methods and some things about the sect."

Tang Tian fell silent.

Since this world cares so much about Gu Xiaoxue, wouldn't they know the purpose of Elder Zhongyang pushing Gu Xiaoxue to him?

At least, they should inquire about him, right?

What does she want to do?

Tang Tian didn't know and couldn't guess.

But what he could be sure of was that the Senior Sister definitely didn't care about Gu Xiaoxue as much as Gu Xiaoxue thought.

He took a deep breath and dispersed these scattered thoughts.

"I have already started looking for retainers."

"During this time, focus on breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm."

"We'll talk about other matters after you make a breakthrough."

Tang Tian said.

Gu Xiaoxue nodded gently.

Back at the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, the two had a simple dinner, and Gu Xiaoxue went into her room to begin seclusion.

Tang Tian originally wanted her to go to the dojo for seclusion since there were Dao-level cultivation chambers there, which would definitely be easier.

But Gu Xiaoxue insisted on staying in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, saying that her room was more comfortable and other miscellaneous reasons.

Tang Tian tried to persuade her, but in the end, he had to let her have her way.

Before reaching the Soul Formation stage, there wasn't much difference between this place and the Dao-level cultivation chamber.

After Gu Xiaoxue went into seclusion, Tang Tian contacted Wang Anning from the Fudi Pavilion and asked him to bring some decoration materials tomorrow to finish decorating the remaining guest rooms.

New attendants were about to arrive, so the arrangements naturally couldn't be neglected.

Regardless of anything else, Tang Tian's identity was at stake here, and he couldn't lose face at the very least.

After completing these tasks, Tang Tian returned to the main house, practicing cultivation while waiting for the attendants to arrive.

...

The next day.

Wang Anning arrived early in the morning, bringing the same top-quality decoration materials as last time.

Tang Tian exchanged pleasantries with him, left the materials, and told the attendants to decorate the rooms according to their preferences.

After Wang Anning left, about an hour later, the first attendant came for an "interview."

She was a stunning core disciple with a cultivation level in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, exuding a strong aura.

As soon as she arrived, she used her spiritual power to scan Tang Tian from head to toe.

Without saying a word, Tang Tian directly gave her one hundred thousand spirit jades and told her to go back where she came from.

We are all equals here, so why are you acting so arrogantly towards me?

After a while, another attendant arrived.

This disciple was quite polite and had a conversation with Tang Tian.

However, she talked too much and made a lot of reasonable or unreasonable demands, but in the end, Tang Tian rejected her.

He didn't like troublesome people.

Afterward, a young cultivator came, and after discussing it, Tang Tian still felt that it wasn't quite suitable, so he politely sent him away.

A morning passed quietly, and Tang Tian interviewed a total of thirteen applicants, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Tang Tian sighed softly.

He finally understood the feelings of those human resources departments when they were recruiting employees.

There are really a lot of weirdos.

Some people clearly knew about his reputation and came specifically for the spirit jades, talking about billions at every turn, making him somewhat amused and resolute in rejecting them.

In the afternoon, people continued to come for interviews.

Perhaps this was the celebrity effect.

But having many people also had its advantages. Tang Tian finally encountered a good candidate.

Li Hong, a core disciple in the early Soul Formation stage at the age of twenty-eight.

He was very knowledgeable about the affairs of the sect and could help Tang Tian with some trivial matters from the outside world.

His conditions were also very simple: don't disturb his normal cultivation during normal days, contact him through a communication jade talisman if there were any issues, and he would handle them as soon as possible.

When Tang Tian needed him, if he was free, he would come over.

"Don't you live in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard?" Tang Tian asked.

Li Hong smiled and shook his head. "I still prefer to stay in my own cave dwelling, even though the cultivation environment there is far inferior to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard."

"I know this doesn't really fit the identity of an attendant, but it's my own insistence."

"That's also why no one has been willing to hire me as an attendant."

He said candidly.

Tang Tian nodded.

He quite liked people who said whatever they wanted. The conditions he proposed were not a big deal. Tang Tian didn't need a grand entourage when he traveled; as long as it didn't delay things, it was fine.

In the end, Tang Tian reached an agreement with Li Hong for a monthly salary of ten million spirit jades.

The first three months would be a probationary period, and if everything went well, the salary would increase to twenty million per month after three months.

After all, he was a Soul Formation cultivator, and his strength spoke for itself, so the price naturally wouldn't be low.

When Tang Tian asked him why he didn't rent a cave dwelling with a better cultivation environment, Li Hong smiled and replied, "There is a place for cultivation, and as long as the cave dwelling is livable, sometimes I don't even go back for a long time."

"The biggest expense in cultivation is still on pills and resources."

"As a cultivator without family support like me, I have to be as frugal as possible."

Tang Tian fell silent, realizing that his judgment of ordinary cultivators in the cultivation world had deviated a bit due to his sudden wealth.

He always thought that places like the Purple Bamboo Courtyard were not expensive, and anyone could rent them with a little money.

But in reality, even someone like Gu Xiaoxue, a genius, only used a Profound Grade top-quality spirit sword.

"Welcome, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future," Tang Tian extended his hand.

Li Hong also reached out his hand.

At this moment, he had officially become one of Tang Tian's attendants.
