Gu Zhan had great confidence in the abilities of his subordinates.

"In that case, quickly invite him over, I'll pay him a salary!"

Xu Nian spoke hurriedly, her eyes filled with eagerness.

Once the problem of salt stones is solved, the people living away from the city will no longer lack salt, which will surely be a great joy.

“This isn’t difficult, but to be honest, he definitely can’t handle this much workload by himself,” Gu Zhan pointed out incisively.

Seeing this, Xu Nian also became dejected.

Indeed, while this may temporarily solve the immediate problem, it is ultimately only a temporary fix and not a fundamental solution.

Just as she was feeling lost, her master's familiar yet hateful voice suddenly echoed in her mind—

"My disciple, have you encountered any difficulties on your journey?"

Xu Nian couldn't wait to travel through time and space and give him a good slap in the face.

It's not just that we encountered difficulties, it's that we're almost unable to move an inch!

Seemingly anticipating Xu Nian's impatience, her master chuckled and continued with a smile, "So, I'm here to lend you a hand~"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian felt no joy whatsoever; instead, she became wary.

When did Master become so kind and easy to talk to?

There must be some huge conspiracy involved!

As expected, the master paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "I will now give you ten percent of my magic power, which is enough to support your current losses, but this is the price."

"How about you hand over all your current profits?"
