Gao Xiang had already decided to continue investigating Su Chenyu. Since there had been some slackness before, he would have to find a way to pry this person open his mouth.

He finally found some loopholes through various accounts in the weapon refining workshop.

"Supervisor Gao, I'm very busy right now and don't have time to chat with you."

Su Chenyu, who was blocked in the workshop, said to Gao Xiang with some dissatisfaction.

"Every workshop is very busy. I came here today because I need to confirm something important with you. I will report it to the elders."

Su Chenyu's hand, which was forging the sword blank, suddenly paused.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

In his opinion, this is still the matter of that monk. It's not over yet. Fellow Daoist Zheng is right. If he's dead, he's dead. Why keep holding on to him?

Hasn’t anyone else done it?

Why do you always look for him?

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiang did not ask about the "missing" monk.

"There are some problems with your accounts during this period!"

"How is that possible?"

Gao Xiang smiled and handed over a jade slip. After Su Chenyu checked it, he still had a puzzled expression.

"Is there a problem? Isn't everything correct? The quantity and quality of the finished products are correct and they have all been delivered to the battlefield. Is there any problem?"

"There is indeed no problem with the finished product you delivered. It is even a little more than the number specified in the task."

"That's it, Fellow Daoist Gao, don't look for trouble!"

"But I checked the raw materials that your sect had assigned to Wanxian Island, as well as the losses reported due to failed refining and the number of unqualified products."

"These don't match up, Fellow Daoist Su. The refiners in the forge have made rapid progress and their skills are so superb. The raw materials allocated can only produce the task amount at most, or even less than this."

"You not only completed the target, but also exceeded it. At the same time, there were a large number of damaged and substandard products."

Su Chenyu was stunned and remembered where he was missing something.

These idiots under my command are getting bolder and bolder, but their work is getting worse and worse. They can't even do a single account.

"Friend Su, can you tell me where those extra raw materials came from?"

Where did it come from? It must have been given by Zheng Sanjin to him to fill the hole!

There had been a few times before, but they were all small holes back then.

Afterwards, find an excuse to report and purchase a batch of raw materials on your own, and then raise the price a little to make it fair.

Anyway, the sect pays for it.

However, as his own courage grew, the blacksmiths under him also became more courageous, and naturally, the number of "damaged" and "unqualified" finished products increased.

It's natural that they don't match.

These people are also smart people, so we can’t report less losses!

"You don't have to be so weird. We bought some raw materials from Palace Master Zheng, but we haven't reported it to the sect yet, so it's hard to record it in the account. This is normal."

Gao Xiang smiled.

He doesn't care about the quantity or whether to buy or not. He only cares about the source of the raw materials.

"Okay, I'll be fine then. Goodbye."

He took out a photo stone, put it in the storage ring, turned around and left.

Su Chenyu's face turned dark. When did he put the photo stone there?

He didn't notice.

And it’s a bit strange, why don’t you continue to investigate?

He had no reason to investigate Zheng Sanjin before, but now he has one.

He was very interested in this pirate leader, especially the mysterious workshop area shrouded by heavy formations, from which it was said that no monk could ever walk out once entering!

Since it is a workshop, where does the output go?

Where do those raw materials come from?

He felt that he had found the key to the problem!

Perhaps that mysterious workshop is where the interests of these Nascent Soul cultivators from the major immortal sects come from.

Of course, there are some things that don’t make sense, like the weapon refining workshop. The tasks of several major workshops can be completed very well, but what is the source of materials for that mysterious workshop?

He always felt that as long as he unveiled the mysterious workshop, he would be able to completely lift the thick fog over Wanxian Island.

Gao Xiang had no idea that Zheng Sanjin was simply being kind and giving these people profits so that they would not affect his own trade operations, and that was why he gave them materials again and again to make up for their losses.

Although he later used the purchasing budget given by the Immortal Sect and paid high prices to make up for it by paying for the sect's spiritual crystals, from the perspective of a normal cultivator, Zheng Sanjin was actually losing money.

But Zheng Sanjin thought it was a good idea. He used a large amount of raw materials from the demon world to exchange for a lot of spirit crystals.

And it can prevent several good brothers from getting exposed, and cover it up for him and themselves, preventing a large amount of raw materials from the Boundless Sea from entering, and the output of pills from the Boundless Sea from being exposed to everyone.

Before, the quantity was small, so he could still make some allowances, but now he goes directly through the channels of the front battlefield to blatantly purchase large quantities of alchemy materials produced by the Boundless Sea.

Where did the pills made from these raw materials go?

If we don't drag those Yuanyings from Wanxian Island into this, someone with ulterior motives will definitely notice them, and then we'll be in trouble.

It’s different now. Even if they know that Zheng Sanjin may have some unclear connection with the demon world, they have to keep it to themselves. After all, they themselves are in the quagmire, covered in yellow mud.

The most important thing is that as their appetites grew bigger, they gradually became dissatisfied with the dividends given to them by Zheng Sanjin. They inevitably extended their hands to their own workshops, and sometimes needed Zheng Sanjin's help.

The easiest way to destroy a person is to indulge him or her. Small mistakes can be indulged into big mistakes, and big mistakes can become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

This is what Zheng Sanjin did, starting with small favors at the beginning, then getting a little less share, and then getting more and more share in the end.

Until later they took the initiative to reach out to their own workshops.

The first time a hole appeared, Zheng Sanjin generously donated money to fill it for you.

When there was a hole again for the second time, needless to say, we are all friends, so we filled it up!

......

They will stand firmly on your side, and will silently support you even if you are smuggling the Endless Sea's elixir into the demon world!

Gao Xiang came to Zheng Sanjin's cave.

In front of Zheng Sanjin was a stone table, on which was a pot of steaming spiritual tea and next to it was a top-grade incense burning.

"Sit down, the tea is just right."

Zheng Sanjin reached out and poured Gao Xiang a cup of hot tea.

"You don't seem surprised that I'm here?"

"Hahaha, what's so surprising? I know everything you do in the city. Sooner or later, you will stand in front of me."

Gao Xiang had just sat down when his body stiffened.

He didn't expect Zheng Sanjin to be so straightforward, to the point that he found it difficult to accept.

It was obvious that Gao Xiang was confused and shocked.

"I was born in humble circumstances and rose from humble beginnings. I have never experienced the same fate as you, so I always speak more bluntly. Please bear with me."

"It's alright. You know, we inspectors like monks who speak directly."

Zheng Sanjin smiled inexplicably, which made Gao Xiang a little confused again.

Is it that funny?

"It's okay, I just remembered something from the past."
