Chapter 164 - 136: Enter the Mountain Gate
Following that, Zhang Songlin detailed the specific treatment for Foundation Establishment Guest Elders.
For example, the annual salary would be fifty mid-grade Spirit Stones, and each month one could receive a bottle of Gathering Qi Elixirs for use in the early stages of Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Furthermore, one could also bring family and servants up the mountain, as long as the number did not exceed five.
"...As for the specific situations in more distant places, I do not know, but if the elder were to visit other nearby sects, the treatment would likely not exceed this, and there might even be discrimination and differential treatment because of being an outsider!" Zhang Songlin said respectfully.
Unlike Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivators, who could not evade poverty and had to submit to power, Foundation Establishment cultivators had more choices.
If one could not mix well in this domain, one could always go to another domain to get by.
If this place would not keep a lord, surely there was another place that would!
It was of course possible to force Loose Cultivators to perform labor, and under the authoritative power of a sect, who would dare not to comply?
But that could not be done to Foundation Establishment cultivators.
At least, not too excessively.
Chen Li half-listened with a vaguely tempted feeling, the annual salary of fifty mid-grade Spirit Stones did not matter to him, what he valued were the third-tier spirit lands and the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique, but he did not immediately agree.
