Chapter 251 Luyu stalactite
Half a month later, everyone gathered around Lin Shan and returned to the gate of Xun Gu Sect.
Tianfu Mountain.
The Black Skull Demon Lord, Lu Xiuming and others had received the news and had been waiting for a long time. When they heard that the leader had rescued a group of disciples and also killed the Demonic Jindan Master, they were all overjoyed and hurriedly held a banquet to wash away the dust.
Lin Shan also went into seclusion for a while, and just had a good chat with his subordinates, encouraging those who deserved encouragement, rewarding those who deserved rewards, and punishing those who deserved
Let the Black Skeleton Demon Lord punish you.
The leader and deputy leader happened to be a good person and a bad person, so Lin Shan naturally had to establish his personality in front of his subordinates. The evil man asked the Black Skull Demon Lord to do it, but he would never do it himself.
Which superior person doesn't take advantage of all the good things and leave the bad things to his subordinates? Lin Shan naturally understands this, and so does the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, who can guess Lin Shan's meaning without even giving instructions.
Although this product has many shortcomings, it is indeed easy to use. But the most convenient one is the chief manager Lu Xiuming.
This person is really a model of dedication to his duties. Ever since the Lin Chamber of Commerce in Wangyue City joined Lin Shan, he has never complained about his busy schedule. Whether he is running the chamber of commerce or managing the mountain gate, he is dedicated to his work and distinguishes public and private matters.
The entire sect, from the disciples to the hall master, are all sincerely convinced by him.
A hands-off shopkeeper like Lin Shan was most satisfied with his subordinates, who focused on rewarding him with a large number of spiritual stones and resources. Lu Xiuming accepted it calmly and with a clear conscience.
After the banquet ended, the disciples cleaned up the mess and dispersed.
Some people continue to complete tasks within the sect, some people go to the contribution hall to receive what they need in exchange, some people go to the herbal medicine hall to find a doctor to treat their injuries, and some people can't wait to rush down the mountain to Fangshi to deal with illegal goods. Some people returned to the cave to prepare for penance
These people are all small people, working hard for their own future, and inadvertently contributing to the sect.
Lin Shan and a group of senior officials came to the meeting hall and began to review the intelligence collected over the years and how the mission was being done.
The first is collecting antiques.
This task was the most secretive. Lin Shan only left it to Lu Xiuming to take over alone. He appointed a group of the most loyal disciples to secretly carry out the task. For more than ten years, the disciples of Xun Gu Sect have traveled throughout the Lujiang River Basin, looking for those who meet the requirements. antique.
Because the Xun Gu Sect belongs to the elder force of the Lujiang League, the entire Lujiang River Basin is running smoothly. No other cultivating forces will deliberately obstruct it. Basically, even if they are aware of it, they will turn a blind eye and pretend not to know. .
However, because of the Confucian environment of the Lu State, which has been deliberately suppressing and destroying the power of incense for thousands of years, most of the antiques that have survived to this day have no ancient charm, and the one handed over to Lin Shan has Several bulging storage bags.
He got a total of 17 ancient rhymes.
However, it has only been more than ten years ago, and the truth is still flowing~
Lin Shan was in a good mood. It seemed that starting a religion by himself and letting his subordinates continue to plunder the people for him was indeed the right way to start.
"It's just that the Lujiang River Basin accounts for about half of the area of Shandong Province. That is to say, if the entire area of Shandong Province is searched, it will only be more than 30 points. It seems that Xungu Sect can't just focus on this corner of the country, but also has to Penetrate and spread the sphere of influence to the outside, to the north of Lu, to the south of Lu, and to the east of Lu"
Lin Shan thought to himself, but this matter can be discussed later. For now, let's go out of the Lujiang River Basin and digest other areas in Western Shandong.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. If you take too big a step, you may end up losing your job.
Especially when it comes to things like ancient rhymes, it's better to be cautious.
He secretly sent a message to Lu Xiuming, telling him that after leaving the Lujiang River Basin, all his disciples should restrain themselves. After all, outside the influence of the Lujiang Alliance, other immortal sects may not be easy to talk to.
Lu Xiuming naturally agreed, and Lin Shan was very confident in his work.
At present, after the consumption of the previously strengthened "Wind Escape Talisman", the ancient charm on his body still has 65 points left. Now he has gained 17 points, and there are still 82 points on the panel account.
Lin Shan's plan is to focus on his own cultivation, supplemented by the improvement of combat power.
It is best to keep 64 points among them and give them to the spiritual objects of the two steps of jade liquid refining and golden elixir condensation to strengthen when you break through the golden elixir stage, so that you can successfully break through the level in one step.
Moreover, it is best to be able to condense middle-grade or even top-grade golden elixir in one step!
The soul elixir avenue has the resources of ghosts and immortals, and the golden elixir avenue has to be a Nascent Soul seed at worst, right?
Lin Shan had no idea about his spiritual root qualifications. After all, he was born with double C spiritual roots, even though they were all alien spiritual roots. The day after tomorrow, in the Gongsun family in Shangdang County, he used the nectar of heaven and earth in the spiritual vein tide to force the wind spiritual roots. He was promoted to the second level and reached the level of a true disciple of the great sect.
However, there are too many coincidences and uncertainties in the matter of condensing the golden elixir. No matter how talented people are, they dare not guarantee that they will be able to condense a high-level golden elixir.
Therefore, Lin Shan needs to use the enhanced panel to tap his potential as much as possible!
Because of this breakthrough in Jindan Avenue, there are no investors like the fairy book boss who can help him. The only one he can rely on is himself.
Moreover, his soul elixir avenue and golden elixir avenue need to go hand in hand.
His physical body simply couldn't bear the simple practice of soul elixir.
Don’t let the upper limit of Jindan Avenue be too low, which will delay the ghost and immortal resources of Soul Pill Avenue
Then he might really have no way to get ahead, so he can only bite the bullet and go to the ghost-immortal cultivator alone!
"Now that the Nine Turns Golden Body Art is in hand, the problem of kidney deficiency can be solved, but the breakthrough of the Golden Elixir stage must also be put on the agenda. Otherwise, if I don't break through the Golden Elixir stage in one day, my Soul Elixir stage will only be stuck in the early stage.< br>
If you use the soul source first to break through to the middle stage of the soul elixir, then the separation of soul and flesh will be imbalanced. Therefore, if you want to practice dual cultivation without being restricted, you can only do it at the same time, and you must break through the golden elixir stage perfectly! ”
Lin Shan felt secretly angry, and at the same time felt that time was still very tight. The only comfort was that Tianfu Mountain had gathered a group of subordinates, so he didn't have to worry about everything.
In essence, he still likes to be a lone ranger, but in some things, there is always strength in numbers.
As the old saying goes, when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise, and a good man has three gangs!
After explaining the antique matter, Lu Xiuming reported on other matters:
"Lin's Chamber of Commerce currently dominates the seafood spirit industry in the Lujiang River Basin. It has successively opened branches in three immortal cities and seven Xiuxianfang cities, with annual sales reaching 300,000 spirit stones. Excluding labor costs and store costs , transportation costs, sales costs, management costs”
"The net profit is, 187,600 spirit stones."
"Due to geographical reasons, other areas of the Lu State outside the Lujiang River Basin are all controlled by local forces in all walks of life. The Lin Chamber of Commerce has difficulty in penetrating, and its development and expansion has reached a deadlock."
"In the past two years, I have discussed with the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce and launched a partnership plan, which means to encourage other outside cultivating forces to join. We provide seafood and aquatic products, and send professionals to help them operate, teach them how to operate, and then charge franchise fees. By the way, You can continuously sell them wholesale seafood, which is two birds with one stone.”
……
Lu Xiuming talked eloquently, explaining how he built the Lin Chamber of Commerce into a well-known brand, how to attract business and recruits, and how to open up channels. Everyone nodded and smiled happily.
Everyone also knows that after so many years of development in the Lu State cultivation world, the market is basically saturated, and the distribution of cake benefits has its own name. If you want to seize the market, you must break the local blockade, so it is already very easy to become the leader of a certain industry in the Lujiang River Basin. Awesome.
If you go one step further and want to become the leader in the western region of Lu, or even the giant of the aquatic products industry in the entire Lu country, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky, and you dare not even think about it.
However, Lu Xiuming forced himself to join the "Chamber of Commerce" and found a new way to expand his influence, which made people marvel at his ability and skills.
But instead of praising Lu Xiuming, everyone in the church above the main hall flattered Lin Shan wildly.
"Today's achievements are all due to the leader's strategizing, discerning eyes, and ability to recognize people. I can't wait for such a high and far-sighted vision!"
Lin Shan smiled and waved his hands humbly, obviously very helpful.
Of course, he could not let the hero down. He waved his hand and spoke boldly to Lu Xiuming:
"Mr. Lu has worked hard and made great achievements. He has made the Lin Chamber of Commerce bigger and stronger and provided a large amount of spiritual stones and resources to everyone in the church. He should be rewarded!"
Everyone rolled their eyes and took advantage of the situation: "What the leader said is absolutely true!"
Lu Xiuming's face was calm, neither happy nor sad. He just thanked him and continued to report other situations.
"Over the years, the Yang family of Luzhong County has helped me teach in the mining field many times. The Yang family is one of the mining giants in the entire Lu Kingdom cultivation world. It provides mining and refining means, distribution and service means, and turns the Xun Gu Sect's minerals, The metallurgical workshop and the refining pavilion have been built, and now they can bring in nearly 10,000 spiritual stones every year." Mining is different from the seafood industry. Who among the monks in the world of cultivation does not need to build and repair magic weapons? Even formations, palaces, puppets, and special tools all require various ore processing, so the market and profits are huge.
Seafood belongs to the catering industry, but in the inland cultivation world, there are only a few monks who can afford such luxuries. Most people either work hard to earn spiritual stones all day long, or just practice in isolation, so it is completely No comparison.
A giant like the Yang family is willing to take the Xun Gu Sect to drink soup. It is obviously a show of goodwill and wants to win them over. They are interested in the energy of the two formation masters, Black Skull Demon Lord and Master Zhankong.
It's just that the Xun Gu Sect currently only has two small mines, one a refined iron mine and one a refined copper mine. The size is too small and it's still a small business, but it can still be regarded as a source of income.
Lin Shan nodded after hearing this, and asked his men to meet the Yang family again, express his gratitude to the Yang family for him, and wave to Lu Xiuming again.
"Manager Lu properly handles the relationship between allies, promotes cooperation between the two parties in a friendly manner, and teaches me how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. I will be rewarded!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "What the leader said is absolutely true!"
Lu Xiuming thanked him again and still reported the next item meticulously.
"Recently, our sect has reached an agreement with the four sects of Lunan, Lingyun Sect, Xianhe Sect, Zhaoshen Castle, and Liuyang Sect. Every five years, our disciples will be dispatched to hold five sect competitions in turn. In addition to promoting emotional exchanges between sects, In addition, it can also urge and inspire disciples to practice. ”
Lin Shan thought thoughtfully. In layman's terms, this five-sect competition is equivalent to a "military exercise" in the previous life. It can not only highlight the potential of young disciples of each sect, but also create sparks in exchanges and collisions, which is very beneficial to the next generation. .
It was just Lu Xiuming's next report that made everyone in the hall embarrassed.
"The first two five-sect competitions were held in Lingyun Sect and Zhaoshen Castle respectively. Our religion also sent its disciples to participate. In both competitions, our religion ranked at the bottom."
Lin Shan's face was a bit confused. Among his disciples were young men like the Black Skull Demon King, Master Zhankong who supported the elderly, fishermen like Wu Hanqiao, lazy ones like Mu Yan, and weak-minded people like the Second Hegemon of Rushan. , and the rest are all Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks?
What kind of trash have I raised? !
The more he felt now, the more he felt that Lu Xiuming was his butt, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"The house is full of men, and they are all full of wine and rice! Only Mr. Lu is truly my Xiao He!"
Everyone was so ashamed that they lowered their heads and said nothing.
Only Lu Xiuming raised the question at the right time: "Master, may I ask who Xiao He is?"
Lin Shan laughed and quickly changed the topic.
"It's not important. The five sects competition must be taken seriously by all the disciples. Don't embarrass me all the time. From now on, all the disciples on the mountain must train for me every morning. No one is allowed to be lazy!"
Everyone echoed: "What the leader said is absolutely true!"
Lu Xiuming then took advantage of the situation and reported on the training status of his disciples.
"In the past ten years, our teaching has increased its Lingshi funding for Yunchuan Academy, becoming one of the fifteen largest financial backers behind the academy, and successfully settled in Nashan Hall. Dr. Zhou Zhenren of the academy specially wrote a handwritten thank you and accepted it. I taught ten appointed disciples to join his sect, personally interpret the method, and teach by words and deeds!”
Lin Shan nodded and asked him for Zhou Zhenren's handwriting.
Lu Xiuming ordered someone to present it.
Lin Shan took the letter, with the cover saying "In person from the leader of the Xun Gu Cult" and the Buddhist title "Chongli" of Zhenren Zhou at the bottom.
I tore open the envelope, took out the letter and read it over. It basically said thank you to Yunyun. The academy will pay more attention to the training of students from the Xungu Education Committee in the future. We look forward to further cooperation between the two parties. You can also come to Yunchuan Academy if you have time. Let's sit down and talk and get close. etc.
Lin Shan naturally knew the etiquette, so he took out a pen and paper and wrote a reply in handwriting. He politely agreed that he could go and see it when he had time in the future, but he was too busy now and he would definitely not be able to take care of it recently.
Zhenren Zhou can be a doctor at Yunchuan Academy, so he must be a relatively powerful person, and he is naturally worthy of Lin Shan's friendship.
He gave the letter to Lu Xiuming and asked him to send someone to deliver it. By the way, he told him to send more gifts to Zhenren Zhou every time during the holidays. If conditions permit, Yunchuan Academy will continue to increase investment and strive to get more gifts. Some training places.
This time when he left the customs and went to Jingchuan in the eastern part of Lu State, Lin Shan also found that the disciples in his sect were mixed, and he still needed to find a regular academy to train them. Otherwise, how could a group of rabble be decent?
Everyone clapped their hands in admiration: "What the leader said is absolutely true!"
Lu Xiuming wrote down these things one by one. He had nothing more to say and returned to his seat.
Then go to Linshan to ask about the news about the spiritual objects refining with jade liquid. This matter will be handled by Yu Jiaoniang from the Information Hall.
Yu Jiaoniang has lived a very happy life in these years. Since joining the Xun Gu Sect, all her former enemies have swallowed their anger and dared not come to the Xun Gu Sect to cause trouble for her. Moreover, she is the concubine of Elder Heiku in the sect, and the disciples on the mountain also They all treated her with great respect.
This can be regarded as a bit of a show of force to her.
The only depressing thing is that every Xun Gu sect disciple has a copy of "The Mind of Carnage and Forgetfulness". Whenever she grabs a disciple and is about to push him away, the disciples in the sect dare not resist due to her identity and strength, but they It can lock the semen Cynomorium to prevent her from sucking you dry!
Therefore, after the trip was over, the raped Xun Gu Sect disciple lifted up his pants, patted his butt and left immediately. Yu Jiao Niang could only be dumbfounded.
So since the supplements cannot be collected at the mountain gate, she would not dare to go down the mountain to collect supplements!
After all, many enemies are waiting for her. She stays in Tianfu Mountain on weekdays, with Jindan Zhenren sitting in charge, and the mountain protection formations surrounding her at all levels, so no one dares to come to seek revenge.
But if she dares to go down the mountain, then these torturers will definitely swarm forward and divide her body into thousands of pieces!
After that, Yu Jiaoniang could only change her cultivation method, give up the art of collecting tonic, and began to slowly breathe in and out, which was like a turtle crawling compared to before, which made her sigh.
Now after hearing Lin Shan's personal inquiry about the spiritual objects refining with jade liquid, she racked her brains to recall the information she had collected over the years. She really didn't have any information about this matter, so she could only hesitate to answer.
Lin Shan's face was gloomy. This group of people were either fishing or fishing in the church all day long. Except for Lu Xiuming, no one could do anything!
Could it be that, no matter what world the workers are in, they all naturally like to fish?
Lin Shan also liked to fish in the past, but now that he has become the boss, he actually hates his former self!
"Trash! I gave you the Intelligence Hall, but I haven't been able to get any useful information for ten years. What's the use of you?!"
Yu Jiaoniang's beauty turned pale, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word. She could only cry and sob there.
Lin Shan doesn't have any sympathy for the beautiful woman. You are a useless piece of trash. Why do I support you? A dangerous look flashed in his eyes.
At this time, His Highness walked out.
"To the leader, if you talk about using jade liquid to refine spiritual objects, my subordinates have heard a little about it."
"Oh?"
Everyone took a closer look and found that it was Wu Hanqiao. He had been acting as a transparent person before, but he stood up at the critical moment.
Lin Shan's face brightened slightly, and he motioned for him to come and listen.
Wu Hanqiao bowed and saluted and told about a piece of news he had heard recently.
"Half a year ago, I went down the mountain and returned to Jingyang Academy. Even though the academy was closed, I was still paying attention to the outside world. I accidentally heard from an intelligence senior brother while drinking that there seemed to be something wrong with him. Rumors about jade stalactites!”
"Reed jade stalactite?"
When everyone heard this term, they had different expressions and looked thoughtful.
