Half a day later, the Alchemy Pavilion issued a strange announcement: “Recruiting a large number of craftsmen, no restrictions on applicants.”
Due to the popularity of the special effect elixirs, the Alchemy Pavilion had already become the focus of the entire imperial city, attracting countless people's attention.
As soon as this announcement came out, all forces in the imperial city were stunned.
What was going on?
The Alchemy Pavilion was a place for refining elixirs, and it had always only recruited alchemists and alchemy apprentices. This time, suddenly recruiting a large number of craftsmen, with no limit on numbers, left the various forces in the imperial city perplexed.
“Could it be that the Alchemy Pavilion is so busy with business that the original place is not enough, and they want to build more shops?”
Many people couldn't help but doubt.
However, in the imperial city, every inch of land is precious. Even if the Alchemy Pavilion found craftsmen, where would they find land to build shops? Soon, they dismissed this suspicion.
“Or perhaps the Alchemy Pavilion has made enough money and wants to demolish the existing Alchemy Pavilion buildings and renovate them?” Some people couldn't help but speculate.
Once this speculation was put forward, it immediately garnered quite a bit of acknowledgment.
Previously, the Alchemy Pavilion had been suppressed by the Leng family, and whether it was the headquarters or the numerous shops scattered throughout the imperial city, they had become quite old and shabby.
In the past, the Alchemy Pavilion never captured much of the market in the imperial city, and few people went to the Alchemy Pavilion to purchase elixirs. Additionally, Zhuo Qingfeng didn't manage the specific affairs of the Alchemy Pavilion, so no one felt anything was wrong.
Moreover, even if the Alchemy Pavilion wanted to renovate its buildings, it lacked the financial resources.
But now, with the special effect elixirs being so popular, many felt that the Alchemy Pavilion's buildings and shops were somewhat outdated.
At this time, it would be completely normal for the Alchemy Pavilion to wish to repair its original shops and buildings.
Just as everyone thought this way, the Alchemy Pavilion did another thing that left everyone bewildered.
They actually sent a recruitment department directly into the slums of the western city to recruit, primarily targeting craftsmen and waitstaff.
Has the Alchemy Pavilion gone mad?
What kind of people are in the slums? To say they are lazy and do nothing is flattering; to speak more harshly, the slum is essentially a bunch of scum, worthless garbage.
Recruiting such people into the Alchemy Pavilion would only tarnish their own reputation, right?
What shocked everyone even more was yet to come.
Once the news spread that the Alchemy Pavilion was recruiting in the slums, the entire slum was instantly in an uproar.
The people in the slums had always been looked down upon in the imperial city. Previously, when they went out to find jobs, they mostly did menial labor, and the better jobs were as thugs or other dangerous work that normal martial artists were unwilling to do.
Moreover, they often faced contempt, feeling inferior no matter where they went, and the employers they dealt with were usually some notorious lowly forces in the imperial city.
Boasting about it would only bring shame.
But now, for the Alchemy Pavilion to come and recruit was as shocking as the sun rising from the west.
What kind of place is the Alchemy Pavilion?
In today's context, one could say the Alchemy Pavilion is the most powerful force in the imperial city without anyone denying it.
Several special effect elixirs had caused a massive storm in the Da Wei Dynasty, with demand far exceeding supply. Given their previous status, they didn't even have the courage to step into the Alchemy Pavilion. Now hearing that the Alchemy Pavilion was recruiting, how could they not go wild?
In an instant, nearly all martial artists in the slums rushed frantically towards the Alchemy Pavilion's recruitment site, acting as though they had gone mad.
