Chapter 107: Guinea Pig With Benefits
With such good benefits being offered, even Han Yu was tempted and couldn’t say no. One must know that servants barely got ten silvers every week for the chores they did. while this payment was higher than what they might get paid for the same kind of work in the city, it was still quite tiring.
Not to mention the dangers they had to endure for it here in the sect. They could very well get killed by a stray attack from some disciples sparring nearby or die in an accidental explosion due to a defective talisman that was disposed off improperly.
As such death was always at the next turn and the servants had to be wary. But now Han Yu had a steady source of income.
’I won’t have to rely on some crazy missons from the SHH or rats. I’ll be able to buy the beast meat myself.’ He thought to himself as he returned to his room to rest.

"But these are different pills!" Li Mei said, holding one between metal chopsticks like it might explode—or grant immortality.
"That’s what you said about the one that made me speak fluent goose." Though in reality, he was just honking nonstop.
"To be fair, it was fluent."
