Yuguang Pavilion is an instrument-making workshop in Yuqing Temple in Penglai.

Originally, Tiangongfang was the only one that made instruments in Penglai, so much so that when people outside talked about magic weapons, they "only knew of Tiangongfang" and "had never heard of any other". But in fact, Penglai also had many small instrument-making schools, and they maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with Tiangongfang.

For example, the Jade Light Pavilion was originally responsible for coating mirror magic weapons for the Tiangong Workshop. Every time Third Senior Sister Liang Ruohua smelted the mirror magic weapon and asked Elder Shi Ding to carve the corresponding magic array inside, it would be sent to the Jade Light Pavilion for coating protection - of course, it was not that Third Senior Sister herself could not do the coating, but she felt that this job was tedious and slow, so it would be better to save time and concentrate on practicing Taoism.

Ever since Elder Shi Ding passed away, the Yuguang Pavilion seemed to have been moved to the top of a mountain, and began to try to sell its own mirror-type magic weapons... This is understandable, after all, no one stipulates that magic weapons must be sold exclusively by Tiangongfang.

However, perhaps because the products were not selling well, they turned their attention to Tiangongfang's store.

It should be added here that Penglai Yuqing Temple produces many elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, flying swords, spiritual herbs, etc. Its external trading channels are mainly divided into three categories, namely customization, wholesale and retail.

Customization is done by various immortal masters who request customization. The quantity is scarce and often not settled in spirit stones, so I won’t mention it here.

Wholesale is mainly for the deacons of Kunlun and Shushan, who come to purchase the same type of magical instruments in bulk, which will not be mentioned here.

The last part is the sale of magical instruments to independent cultivators all over the world. Transactions are conducted through Penglai shops in major market towns such as Fanghu. The shelves of popular shops with the highest traffic are filled with magical instruments from Tiangongfang - independent cultivators recognize the Tiangongfang brand, which sells well, and the shops are happy to promote it.

Therefore, this time, Yuguang Pavilion approached Master Xuandu in order to seize Tiangong Workshop's "traffic advantage" in this area and asked the master to order all the stores set up by Penglai in the entire cultivation world to promote Yuguang Pavilion's mirror-type magic weapons instead.

Third Senior Sister Liang Ruohua only gave a brief explanation, and Luo Yan, who had experience in online shopping in his previous life, immediately understood it, and then became furious:

My goodness, even people in the countryside know that they can’t eat the whole family!

My master's body is still warm, and you come here to take advantage of our Tiangong Workshop and steal our traffic, right?

This is no longer a simple business competition, we must strike hard!

He immediately took his third sister and Shi Liuli with him and walked towards the headmaster's residence in a menacing manner.

Halfway through the journey, Luo Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong with Shi Liuli.

The expression on her face was really too calm - you know, ever since her father passed away, Miss Shi has placed her spiritual focus on her husband and career, so how could she allow Yuguang Pavilion to uproot Tiangong Workshop?

"Liuli." Luo Yan went over to hold her hand and said tentatively, "Don't worry too much. The evil deeds of Yuguang Pavilion will definitely not be hidden from Xuandu Sect Master. Their conspiracy will not succeed."

"That's natural." Shi Liuli said lightly.

Seeing this, Luo Yan immediately confirmed: My wife is so calm, she must be hiding something from me!

You have changed, Miss Shi! You have never been such a wise and prudent military advisor before!

However, since Shi Liuli seemed to have made preparations in advance, she was now confident and not panicking at all. Luo Yan naturally had no choice but to trust his wife, stop thinking, and see how she would deal with the situation next.

If it really doesn't work, I'll just come out and save the situation myself.

Near the residence of Xuan Du Sect Leader, the three of them met the Sect Leader’s son Tian Zhang.

This young master was chatting and laughing with a beautiful young apprentice sister. When he saw Luo Yan and his men rushing over aggressively, he quickly stepped forward to stop them and said:

"Master Jingyun, don't worry. The headmaster is talking to Elder Miaoling inside. He will definitely give you an explanation later."

Luo Yan tilted his head slightly to look at his wife, and saw that Shi Liuli frowned slightly, revealing a beautiful and angry expression unique to women. He also frowned and matched Miss Shi's expression of being furious, staring at Tian Zhang without saying a word.

"Brother Tian." Shi Liuli frowned and asked, "We are not here to cause trouble. We just want to see the headmaster and discuss the supply with Yuguang Pavilion."

Tian Zhang was not willing to believe it, but Shi Liuli's reason was too legitimate, so he had no reason to stop her, and could only persuade her slowly:

"Junior Sister Shi, as the headmaster, father also has his own difficulties, and Penglai is not a place where he has the final say."

"I know, Senior Brother Tian." Shi Liuli said lightly.

The perfunctory tone was so obvious that Tian Zhang was speechless and could only look at Luo Yan for help.

Luo Yan pretended not to notice. At times like this, he would definitely stand firmly beside his wife.

Third Senior Sister Liang Ruohua followed behind and couldn't help but sigh inwardly when she saw that Shi Liuli's aura completely suppressed the entire audience.

Junior sister...you are really different from before.

It's a pity that I matured too late. Otherwise, if the master knew, he would definitely be very happy, right?

When everyone entered the main hall, they saw Elder Miaoling of Yuguang Pavilion, talking with Master Xuandu with a smile on his face.

This elder looked like a kind and amiable old lady. She did not show any surprise when she saw the people from Tian Workshop arrived. She just hurriedly and warmly invited them to sit down, as if there was no such thing as competing for traffic.

Shi Liuli remained calm and exchanged a few pleasantries with Elder Miao Ling before bringing up business with Sect Leader Xuan Du:

"Master, Liuli was sorting out her father's belongings earlier, and she discovered something important."

Master Xuandu was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Shi Liuli didn't mention the promotion of the store.

In fact, before everyone came here, Xuandu Sect Leader had already discussed it with Elder Miaoling:

Considering that Tiangongfang has no Nascent Soul Elder, and the only magical instruments it can produce are tripods, flags, mirrors and seals, it is indeed not appropriate for it to monopolize the sales focus.

However, after all, Elder Shiding's body is still warm, and Zhenren Jingyun is a second-grade golden elixir, and Immortal Wanxiang has also specifically instructed to take care of him, so at most only a part of the sales positions can be released and redistributed by Yuguang Pavilion and other weapon-making schools.

Elder Miao Ling naturally agreed with joy. For Yuguang Pavilion, these sales locations were not theirs to begin with, and now that they could get a piece of the pie from Tiangong Workshop, they were already very satisfied.

As for Tiangong Workshop, if Elder Shiding were still alive, he would certainly be able to raise objections to this.

But Master Jingyun is only at the Golden Core stage now, so his words do not carry enough weight... Just like the Qingluo Peak of Mount Shu, there is a lack of senior masters with political rights, so all they can do is follow what the top leaders say.

Therefore, the two had already thought about how to inform Tiangongfang of this matter tactfully, but they did not expect that the other party would receive the news so quickly and did not mention the matter of promoting traffic at all...

"Oh?" The Xuandu Sect Master did not use the excuse he had prepared, and just followed her topic and asked casually, "What's the important matter?"

"The reason why the Demon Sect besieged Penglai earlier was that Lei Caiyan betrayed his master and secretly looked at the layout of the sect's formation in his late father's room." Shi Liuli said lightly, "Now Lei Caiyan is still alive, which means that the formation still has loopholes that can be cracked by the Demon Sect."

"Therefore, my husband plans to retreat for a period of time to make necessary repairs and reconstructions to the formation and eliminate this loophole."

Xuandu Sect Leader: ...

Elder Miaoling: ...

They both felt a shudder in their hearts at the same time: Oh no!

But I forgot about this!

The art of formation is far more obscure than the art of making weapons. If we were to ask who is the best in formation in Penglai today, there is no other choice except Master Jingyun, who was taught by Elder Shiding himself. Compared with him, the difference between the second best in formation is like the difference between an elementary school student and a doctoral student.

Since the information about the sect's defense formation has been leaked by a spy from Hell, it must be repaired and reconstructed.

But this also means that although Jingyun Zhenren of Tiangongfang is still in the Jindan realm, he has a certain irreplaceable important position...If Penglai takes away the sales position of Tiangongfang and gives it to others, Jingyun Zhenren doesn't even need to go on strike. As long as he deliberately delays indefinitely and says that the formation is difficult to repair, then the loophole cannot be plugged and the security risks of the sect will continue to exist.

It is true that Yuguang Pavilion can replace Tiangong Workshop in making instruments, but can they replace Master Jingyun in the maintenance of the formation? No!

Elder Miao Ling quickly figured out what was going on and frowned as he said:

"Master, this formation..."

"That's right." The Xuandu Sect Master quickly interrupted her, "This sect protection formation is very important. Jingyun must maintain it well. No mistakes can be made."
