Chapter 48: As an apprentice, you must make profits for your master

After going through countless calamities, one reaches the great road and forms a world of one's own.

Once a cultivator reaches the tribulation period, he can create a world of his own. Many super sects are built on the bodies of tribulation masters, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This unique advantage was also one of the tricky aspects that the Dayu Dynasty found difficult.

It is rumored that the Cang Tian Jian Sect among the super sects is divided into seven peaks, and each peak is the body of a great warrior who has achieved enlightenment through sword.

Whether or not there is a tribulation period is also the criterion for distinguishing super sects from other sects.

Therefore, the method to break through the Tribulation Period is enough to drive millions of sects crazy.

Feng Shouyun was stunned, "Do we have it here?"

The tea drinking man reacted and said jokingly, "You really know how to turn trash into treasure. Do you want to use the body of the Xiang Mo Venerable as the treasure of your Wanshi Building? Let other aristocratic families work for you in exchange for the opportunity to enter the body of the Xiang Mo Venerable to spy on the secret of transcending the tribulation?"

"Aren't you afraid that someone might want to steal the treasure?"

"If anyone has the guts to snatch the body of the Xiangmo Venerable who was saved by a sword, then Ziqing can only consider himself unlucky," Shen Ziqing shook his head and sighed, pretending to be sad.

The tea drinking man laughed and pointed out what Shen Ziqing hinted at, "Boy, don't be so ungrateful. Let alone someone who is eager to break through the secret of the Tribulation Stage, even if a person in the Tribulation Stage comes in person, he must respectfully bow three times to the body of the Xiang Mo Zun."

"That is the celestial rhythm of the sword that uses emotion to enter the Tao. There is only this sword in the world."

"I didn't expect your master would be favored by such a person. I'm really envious."

Feng Shouyun nodded in admiration, "No wonder Brother Li said that he took advantage and took the initiative."

Shen Ziqing was no longer modest this time, and simply nodded, “My master is worthy.”

The tea drinking man was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment, but the scenery man nodded, "You convinced me. The Dayu Dynasty can provide spiritual treasures, elixirs, exercises, etc. The profits are divided 30% and 70% respectively, 30% for you and 70% for the Dayu Dynasty. You need to pay the corresponding remuneration for the information, and as for how much you can sell, the Dayu Dynasty will not ask."

Shen Ziqing frowned slightly, but did not raise any objections to the 30:70 profit distribution.

The Dayu Dynasty was targeting Taoism openly and covertly, and perhaps they had a lot of stolen goods that they couldn't get rid of under the identity of the Dayu Dynasty. The Wanshi Building they wanted to build was the best place to launder the stolen goods.

It is not impossible to increase benefits by using this as a condition, but it is not necessary. The initiative is still in the hands of the Dayu Dynasty, and the other party has obviously left them a loophole.

Once the Wanshi Building they built develops, they will definitely have their own spiritual treasure income, and then there will be no need to share it with the Dayu Dynasty.

If we continue to be greedy, all the profits might end up being split 40% to 60% or even 50% to 50%.

Li Yanmo specifically emphasized the word short-sightedness to him.

"If we need the military to send people to support the situation, how much will it cost?"

The corner of the scenery man's mouth slightly raised, "Sunrise City needs more manpower, you can try to talk to them and see if they are willing to work part-time."

"This... I hope that Governor Feng can be the contact person in Risheng City. We are quite familiar with each other and have a life-and-death friendship," Shen Ziqing replied after hesitating for a moment.

Feng Shouyun was stunned at first, then his face was filled with gratitude.

Wan Yao Mountain is really not a place for people to go.

The tea drinking man raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Brother Shen, I can arrange for you to get a beautiful woman in the fusion period. It will not charge you any fees. She can fight, is pleasing to the eye, and cooperates. How about it?"

Feng Shouyun almost knelt down in front of the scroll.

If Feng Jingnan hadn't been there, Feng Shouyun would have already shouted, "Brother, don't mess with me anymore."

"Can we keep Governor Feng and this person in the fusion stage again?" Shen Ziqing asked with a shy face.

Feng Shouyun's eyes suddenly filled with tears. Although Shen Ziqing was moved, at least he didn't kick him.

“That won’t work.”

“Forget it, maybe Governor Feng has broken through to the fusion state,” Shen Ziqing shook his head.

"What a shame. If you change your mind, just give me a shout. My promise will always stand. Shouyun, I'm so lonely in Wan Yao City," the tea-drinking man raised his hand and closed the scroll.

Not until the painting returned to calm did Feng Shouyun heave a long sigh of relief. He opened his mouth to cough up a mouthful of thick phlegm, but finally held it back.

Shen Ziqing was full of curiosity, "Sir Feng, who is that..."

"My brother, Feng Shouxi, is the general defending Wan Yao Mountain. He is in the fusion stage and he always wants to bring me over to relieve his boredom every day," Feng Shouyun rubbed his forehead.

"Really? He said that if I just yell, he'll be able to hear me?"

Shen Ziqing pinched his chin and asked casually as if he was curious. Feng Shouyun didn't think too much about it and nodded, "He has cultivated a divine power of listening."

"…Tai Shou Feng, you don't want to go to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain and be used by your brother to entertain yourself, do you?"

Shen Ziqing thought about it and raised his finger, smiling brightly.

Feng Shouyun was stunned at first, then he reacted and pointed at Shen Ziqing and started yelling.

"Sir Feng, we must be honest and fair in doing business. For you, I rejected a fusion-stage woman who is pleasing to the eye, good at fighting, and cooperative. Sir Feng, don't you think you should compensate us?" Shen Ziqing raised his hand to block Feng Shouyun's fingers, his face serious.

Feng Shouyun couldn’t see through Shen Ziqing’s narrowed eyes, but that bright smile was really creepy.

After struggling for a long time, Feng Shouyun gave up, "Okay - as long as you don't touch the bottom line of the Dayu Dynasty and don't go too far away from Risheng City, I can work for you for free for a year."

"ten years."

"no!"

"Five years then. Otherwise, Governor Feng can go to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain to think about it for five years, but after that it may take twenty years."

Feng Shouyun accepted the five-year agreement with a frown on his face, "Is this also what your master meant?"

"That's not the case. My master has the world in his heart and is very kind and righteous. It's just that as an apprentice, I have to make profits for him," Shen Ziqing smiled and shook his head. "Sir Feng, believe me, you won't lose. But Sir Feng, you'd better prepare another outfit and identity so that you can play the role of the third in command."

Feng Shouyun rolled his eyes and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, I'll help you hide the body of the Xiangmo Venerable first. Also, have you thought of a name for the Wanshi Building? It won't be called Wanshi Building, right?"

"This... I have to ask the master first. By the way, ask the master for some funds."

When it comes to the issue of funding, Shen Ziqing starts to have a headache.

In order to run the Wanshi Building, the spirit stones needed would probably start from one million. Even his master Li Yanmo would probably find it difficult.

"I'll see if I can knock again--"

As he said this, Shen Ziqing couldn’t help but look at Feng Shouyun.

Feng Shouyun didn't know what Shen Ziqing was thinking, and immediately took a step back cautiously, "I'm already working for free, you're not going to ask me to work for money!"

"I don't."

"Look me in the eyes."

"I'm watching."

Feng Shouyun only saw Shen Ziqing squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was up to.
