Cao Kun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "How do you all evade taxes?"

Sofia: "I don't know much about it yet. If you need it, I can find you a professional and experienced certified public accountant."

Cao Kun: "Of course I need to. Have someone come to my company to report for duty tomorrow."

“No problem,” Sophia readily agreed. “Then how about giving your saintess a reward?”

Cao Kun: "Keep them saved up. Once you've accumulated enough, I'll give them to you all at once."

Sophia: "It's settled then, Master."

Before Cao Kun could say anything, she had already hung up the phone.

Then, Cao Kun received a text message from her asking him to send her the company address so that someone could go there on time the next day.

"That woman deserves a beating."

Cao Kun cursed silently and sent the address.

Then, he summoned the Holy Son of the Mountain and gave him some instructions.

The next day, Seiko Yamashita went to the company to learn about this from the professionals.

Although Seiko Yamashita knows a little, he is definitely far behind the veteran experts.

This kind of thing should be done by professionals.

Cao Kun continues to carve array patterns on jade every day.

He discovered that creating arrays was much more difficult than drawing talismans.

The array patterns on an array object are much more complex and profound than runes.

However, just as easily, mistakes are unacceptable; even the slightest error will render the entire array useless.

A week passed, and Cao Kun had only carved three array objects, but all the jade had been used up.

He went to Chinatown again and bought a large amount of jade raw materials.

This time, Cao Kun was smarter; he bought a lot of both inferior and good jade raw materials.

Last time, he was too confident in himself, thinking he could quickly create the array without wasting too much.

But reality told him that he was not a genius.

We still have to learn and practice little by little.

The Level 3 Heavenly Array Records taught him how to make the relevant array objects and how to set up the relevant arrays, but it didn't seem to offer much help in terms of techniques.

That's good too. In things like this where there's no need to rush, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to learn by yourself.

"It's not entirely without help."

"If it weren't for the system, I wouldn't even know how to make the cut."

"I can carve three arrays in a week. If it were someone else, it would take them three years to make one, and that would be considered impressive."

With more practice, Cao Kun's success rate also improved.

Three days later, all seven array items he needed were completed.

Cao Kun's face lit up with joy.

"With these seven array items, the basic Seven Fiends Gathering Evil Array can be set up."

"Give it a try."

Cao Kun waved his hand and put away the seven array objects.

Once outside, taking advantage of the absence of others, he took to the air and flew above the house.

He looked around, then with a flick of his hand, seven array objects flew out and landed in specific positions.

He flew into the air, his hands changing into hand seals: "Heavenly Fiend, Earthly Fiend, Human Fiend, Soul Fiend, Spirit Fiend, Yang Fiend, Yin Fiend, the seven fiends gather evil, the formation begins!"

As Cao Kun made hand seals and chanted incantations, the array objects silently sank into the earth.

Immediately afterward, a flash of light appeared, and the surrounding evil energy rushed towards them.

Soon, the evil energy in this natural gathering place became even more concentrated.

Cao Kun exclaimed with delight, "It's done!"

He flashed and landed on the ground: "Setting up an array is not difficult if you know the key, but it is difficult to make the array objects."

"It's like this: activating the Yin Talisman isn't difficult, but drawing the Yin Talisman is."

Cao Kun smiled broadly. In his view, the Gathering Evil Land was finally starting to resemble a true Gathering Evil Land.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, the previous gathering place for evil spirits was no longer sufficient for him.

"Yes, in the current situation, Yamashita Seiko's substitute can still hold on for her."

"But when the place where evil gathers undergoes a qualitative change, that curse substitute will probably have to be remade."

Feeling the overwhelming evil energy surrounding him, Cao Kun's mood improved considerably.

He went inside and tried his hand at cultivation.

It was found that the effect was at least 50% better than before.

This is still for him; it would be even more effective for Seiko Yamashita.

"The Holy Child of the Mountain is currently at the third level of the Gathering Evil Realm. With such evil energy, she will probably be able to break through again in another six months."

"Even Kugouchi Hideshi would be astonished by such a breakthrough speed."

In the afternoon, when Seiko Yamashita returned, she noticed something was wrong.

She looked puzzled: "Master, why does the evil aura in the house seem to be getting stronger?"

Cao Kun: "Don't worry about that, just focus on your cultivation."

Seiko Yamashita: "Master, have you made some arrangements?"

Seeing Cao Kun nod, the Holy Son from the foot of the mountain exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! The concentration of evil energy here has far surpassed that of my master's dojo."

If my master came, he would be very surprised.

Thinking of the talents within the Nine Rivers region, Cao Kun wasn't entirely confident.

Last time, when facing Kuhe Neishi, his cultivation level was too low.

It's completely impossible to tell whether the other party is a cultivator of the Evil Platform.

At that time, the Holy Son of the Mountain was only a first-rank cultivator of the Gathering Evil Realm, much weaker than Cao Kun.

If Kugawa Hideki wanted to hide it, Yamashita Seiko wouldn't be able to find out anything.

Cao Kun skipped over the topic of Jiuhe Neixiu and asked, "How is that accountant?"

Speaking of this, Seiko Yamashita said with admiration, "She's amazing, she's incredibly knowledgeable about tax matters."

I've only been learning from her for a few days, but I feel I've gained more than I have in all the time I've spent studying on my own before.

Cao Kun: "That's good."

Seiko Yamashita: "Master, where did you find such a skilled accountant?"

Cao Kun: "Just follow along and learn, why ask so many questions?"

"Oh," Yamashita Seiko responded, not daring to say another word.

The next day, Seiko Yamashita went to work on time as usual.

Cao Kun had just finished breakfast when he received a phone call from an unknown number.

"Damn, I'm Crowley."

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman's voice on the phone, Cao Kun looked bewildered: "Should I know you?"

The person on the other end seemed stunned for a moment before saying with suppressed anger, "I'm your manager. Do you think you should recognize me?"

"Oh, it's you." Cao Kun remembered.

Speaking of this agent, he had never actually met him before.

They didn't even manage to get through on the phone.

Therefore, when she received her call, it was from an unknown number.

Cao Kun: "Is there something wrong? The commission from the $50,000 film fee last time should have reached your company by now."

Crowley was speechless: "I'm not here for money."

Cao Kun: "What is it?"

Crowley: "Damn, you should face my profession squarely. I am an agent, and my job is to make the best plans for your acting career and to strive for more and better resources."

Cao Kun understood: "So, you've found me a good resource?"

Crowley: "Not bad, but given your current reputation, it's alright."

Cao Kun: "What movie? What role?"
