"Registered disciple?"

Ma Donggui was stunned for a moment, then looked up and down at Yan Hong, as if thinking for a moment, and then nodded quickly.

"Okay, no problem. Since Junior Brother Jiang Li has asked for it, he is just a nominal disciple. I will accept it on behalf of Master."

He didn't know who Yan Hong was, but since Jiang Li came to visit him, he had to give him face.

Think about it, Jiang Li had to experiment with drugs for three months and had a close brush with death several times before he barely got the status of a registered disciple. Now, with his status, he can get it with just a few nice words.

The gap that can be caused by status and identity is so huge that it makes people feel helpless.

Of course, this is also because he found the right person.

With Ma Donggui's influence in the Foreign Affairs Hall, he could even directly arrange one or two people to work as supervisors in the sect's spirit stone mine. That was also a top-notch lucrative job in the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Helping to get a registered disciple is just a matter of a word.

"Brother Ma is so righteous. I am truly grateful to you."

Jiang Li thanked him repeatedly, but after a pause, he put on an expression as if he didn't know whether to say it or not and continued speaking.

"But Junior Brother has the audacity to ask for a favor."

"This matter is quite complicated and may make you feel embarrassed. I would like to apologize first."

“Perhaps Senior Brother Ma, you can take a look at this first.”

Jiang Li smiled and said that he had something to ask for, then he placed a metal token on the table and pushed it towards the other party.

Jiang Li took great pains to get Yan Hong into the Foreign Affairs Hall, but it wasn't just to make him a nominal disciple who ran errands.

What Jiang Li needs is for Yan Hong to borrow the sect's reputation and protection to do business outside.

But if one wants to pursue one's own interests, free space and power are indispensable.

The best case scenario would be to allow them to open another shop in one of the several large exchanges in Dachongshan, and have Yan Hong manage it in full.

In response, Jiang Li offered a price of seven hours of scripture preaching.

Jiang Li said that he was willing to use the scripture transmission token awarded as a reward for the first place in the Qi Refining Period Martial Arts Competition to exchange for a scripture transmission token that was only valid for one hour.

Ma Donggui was a little unhappy when he first heard that Jiang Li had something to ask of him.

But when he saw the token that Jiang Li pushed over, his eyes suddenly widened.

Seeing that look, Jiang Li's smile became even brighter. He knew that the other party was moved.

Immediately, Jiang Li expressed his needs.

A shop that fully complies with the rules of Cangjing Valley, is registered under the name of the Foreign Affairs Hall, is protected by the power of the sect, but is independent and autonomous.

Hearing this request, even Ma Donggui showed hesitation and embarrassment on his face.

This was no longer a request he could decide on his own. Even the other elders in the Foreign Affairs Hall did not have the power to agree to it. It had to be approved by his master, the chief elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall, who had to give the nod in person.

Jiang Li’s request is really big.

Ma Donggui looked down at the token, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

First of all, it is certain that he can do it.

In other words, apart from him, Jiang Li would not be able to get any help from anyone else in the Foreign Affairs Hall. Those ordinary elders did not have the authority to make such a decision.

But considering how much the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall dotes on him, as long as he says something nice, this thing will most likely work out. As for the remaining 10% or 20%, at most he can just beg for it and it won't be a problem.

Besides, he had no intention of rejecting the deal.

You know, the proportion of cultivators with dual-attribute spiritual roots in the cultivator group is already quite low.

The existence of a cultivator with mutant spiritual roots was even rarer. If all the inner and outer sect disciples in the entire Sutra Repository were put together, there wouldn't be enough to count the number of cultivators with mutant spiritual roots on five fingers.

Corresponding to their cherishment and strength is the difficulty in finding inheritance.

For cultivators with dual-attribute spiritual roots, including Jiang Li, even if they cannot find a technique or Taoist method that completely suits their own attributes, they can completely practice using a single-attribute inheritance.

But this is not the case for cultivators with mutated spiritual roots.

Ma Donggui, who is sitting in front of Jiang Li, has been a member of the sect for seven or eight years, but he probably doesn't know as many spells as Jiang Li.

When he was fighting in the sect, he always used the Five Heart Thunder. It's not that he didn't want to use other spells, but he probably didn't know how to use them.

With his status, it was impossible for him not to obtain the thunder-attributed inheritance in the Sutra Repository.

But precisely because the mutated thunder spirit root is rare, there are not many of these inheritances from predecessors, even in the Sutra Valley.

Therefore, the Sutra Hall in Sutra Valley became the other party's life-saving straw.

Among the many disciples in the Sutra Valley, everyone hopes to obtain the Sutra-transmitting Token.

Because in that scripture hall, if you are lucky, you may learn a peerless martial art that can change your destiny.

Even if you are unlucky, you are guaranteed to obtain advanced ancient inheritance and make further progress.

And for Ma Donggui, a disciple with thunder spiritual roots, this Sutra Hall is more than just the icing on the cake. His need for it is the most rigid and he cannot avoid or escape from it unless he stops practicing Taoism.

"I can fulfill your request... But I want the twelve-hour scripture transmission token!"

Ma Donggui licked his lips, moved his eyes away from the token, looked directly into Jiang Li's eyes and spoke.

I think he should have learned about Jiang Li’s reward from the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

All inner disciples can exchange the token of the Sutra Hall with their sect contributions, but the exchange price is extremely expensive, and even he cannot afford it easily even if he is the head disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

The price Jiang Li offered for seven hours of scripture teaching was actually enough.

But that was a token for preaching the scriptures for twelve hours. To preach the scriptures for a whole day and night at once was something he had never tried in all these years.

For this, he had to fight for it no matter what.

Of course, Ma Donggui was not asking for too much. Jiang Li's status and position were not inferior to his, and his talent in physical cultivation was so exaggerated that there was no benefit for him to offend Jiang Li.

So without waiting for Jiang Li to speak, he continued.

"Brother, please don't be angry. I am not a greedy person. Please listen to me. If you are not satisfied, then I will follow your idea."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, waiting very calmly for the other party to throw out his chips.

"Junior Brother Yan Hong is well versed in the ways of business. He should understand that running a store requires more than just a safe storefront."

"The safety and speed of transportation, the completeness and quality of the goods, the stable and cheap supply channels, the processing of finished products after the bulk materials are purchased, and so on and so forth."

"If you want to run a successful store, you need a lot of other support."

Although Ma Donggui had never actually studied these things in the Foreign Affairs Hall, he had been exposed to them for many years and had a pretty clear understanding of some basic common sense.

Jiang Li glanced at Yan Hong. The expression on his face was both extremely excited and filled with lingering worry.

He was excited because the price the other party mentioned was exactly what he had always dreamed of. Putting these things together was like sending a hen that could lay spiritual stones to him.

In a shop with such conditions, even if a fool is the owner, it would be difficult to lose spirit stones.

But the worry is, in exchange for such favorable conditions, what Jiang Li has paid must be so precious.

"What does Senior Brother Ma mean?"

Jiang Liming asked knowingly.

"If Junior Brother Jiang Li is willing, give up the twelve-hour scripture transmission token."

"Then the shop given to Junior Brother will be equipped with all the specifications and treatments in accordance with the sect's store configuration, and the goods in the Foreign Affairs Hall will be exchanged at the original price."

"Since this shop is self-funded by spirit stones, if Junior Brother Jiang Li does not have enough spirit stones to purchase goods, the Foreign Affairs Hall can lend him another batch of goods to fill the void."

Jiang Li smiled, very satisfied with this. He took back the eight-hour scripture transmission token and placed the twelve-hour scripture transmission token on the table.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Senior Brother Ma."

Ma Donggui was overjoyed and gave a scripture transmission token that was only valid for one hour to Jiang Li.

As expected of a disciple of the chief elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall, he is straightforward.

But he didn't expect the other party to agree directly and give him a high-quality self-operated shop with complete logistical support and smooth supply chain.

You know, it's not difficult for a store like this to support a medium-sized immortal cultivation family. From now on, it's no exaggeration to say that the money is flowing in.

The matter was settled and both sides had a more pleasant conversation.

Obviously, both parties are very satisfied with this transaction.

For Jiang Li, as long as the status bar pops up the preaching status, he can continue to preach the scriptures anytime and anywhere.

Not to mention an hour of preaching, even one minute would be more than enough.

The extra time would be wasted sitting in the Sutra Hall, which would be of no benefit to him.

As for Ma Donggui, he actually didn't have to pay anything. He just needed to talk a little, give his master a shoulder massage, rub his legs, and make him some tea, and the matter would be done.

By abusing his power a little, he could get the scripture-transmitting token he so desperately needs. Why not do it?

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

After coming out of Ma Donggui's yard, the local tyrant brought Jiang Li and two others and directly processed the procedures for Yan Hong to become a registered disciple.

To show his sincerity, Yan Hong's registered disciple was directly registered under the name of the chief elder. Although it was only a slight difference in name, it was enough to provide a lot of help to Yan Hong in his future actions.

After finishing their work, they visited the Foreign Affairs Hall under the guidance of Ma Donggui and then said goodbye and left.

Ma Donggui directly promised that he would come to the Foreign Affairs Hall again in three days to select a location for the shop. Jiang Li did not doubt him and left with Yan Hong.

If Jiang Li was of low status and had no one to rely on, let alone giving the scripture transmission token directly to the other party, he would not even have any idea of ​​making a deal.

But now he has the support of the elders, and at least no disciple in the sect dares to take his things directly.

"Jiang Li, what exactly is this scripture transmission token you are talking about? It should be a very valuable treasure."

Yan Hong is still brooding over the "huge" price Jiang Li paid.

As an outer disciple, he had no channels to learn about the affairs of the Sutra Hall.

But this token, which could be exchanged for such a high level of treatment from a shop in the Foreign Affairs Hall, he would never believe that it could be any ordinary item.

Jiang Li not only used his connections to allow him to become a registered disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall, but also spent such a great price to obtain a shop for him to manage.

Yan Hong only felt that he owed this good friend more and more things. If he could not repay this favor, how would he have the face to call Jiang Li a brother or friend in the future.

"The Scripture Token is a token of using a secret realm of the sect. It was a reward from my last sect martial arts competition."

"Of course the value is not small, but you shouldn't feel too burdened. If the store is managed properly, it will probably make back the money in five to ten years."

Jiang Li gave a relatively ideal estimate. For an ordinary inner sect disciple, if he wanted to exchange contribution points for one hour of scripture teaching, he would have to work very hard for a long time.

The scripture-reading session lasts for eleven hours. If you want to earn the equivalent amount of spirit stones from the shop, you must run it very well.

In fact, sect contributions can be exchanged for spirit stones, but spirit stones cannot be exchanged for sect contributions.

The scripture transmission token cannot be exchanged for spirit stones, so the difference has to be slightly discounted.

"Also, remember those fifteen locust wood stakes?"

"For different monks, the value of resources is not absolute."

"The value of the scripture transmission token is average to me. On the contrary, the things I asked you to collect for me outside are really useful to me. I am helping you, and you are also helping me, right?"

"By the way, have we opened up the channels outside? How many monsters are willing to work for us?"

Jiang Li found that his persuasion had no effect, so he simply changed the subject and started discussing business.

This is also the reason why he wanted Yan Hong to open a shop outside the sect in addition to earning spirit stones.

"I asked my men to run around outside and contact a lot of places. Those little demons were quite sensible and basically didn't refuse."

"But apart from the fox demon clan, the rat demon clan and the yellow-skinned demon clan, most other demons are not very interested in gold and silver."

"They want things that are beneficial to their cultivation, but the value of the elixir and spirit stone is too far from the value of what they provide, so we can't really give it to them."

"The flesh and blood of monsters is fine. Jiang Li, you can get thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds of meat by killing a monster. It should be more than enough to provide it once every two weeks."

"In addition, there are several places that the sect has discovered where evil spirits gather. Ghosts have become very powerful, and those little demons dare not approach. This will cause great interference to future work."

Yan Hong told Jiang Li about the preparations outside. He had completed most of the preparations, but there were still a few difficulties that had not been resolved.

"Oh, do those little demons also want to cultivate and become immortals? They even want things for cultivation. They really don't know what they are talking about."

Jiang Li was a little unhappy that he could no longer use worthless earthly gold and silver to get something for nothing.

"Monster flesh is not easy to preserve, and I can't provide a stable supply of large monster corpses. This method is not a long-term solution."

"How about this, next time I'll talk to Ma Donggui and ask him to give us all the leftover stones from the Lingshi Mine. As long as we pay the shipping fee, we can get as much as we want."

"I believe those monsters will be happy to do so. We will pay them with those leftover stones."

"As for those places where ghosts gather, I am also a disciple of the Demon Subduing Hall. I will go there in person when the time comes."

Jiang Li was also a man of quick thinking, especially in the area of ​​being stingy, he had some talent, and soon he really came up with a solution.

Just like what you dig out from a gold mine is most likely still stone.

Even in the spirit stone mine, spirit stones are not everywhere, and they still need to be dug by manpower.

Along with the spiritual stones, there are also large quantities of ordinary stone and jade materials piled up into mountains.

But to say it is ordinary is not completely ordinary.

These stone and jade materials have been buried around the spiritual stone veins all year round. They are soaked and washed by spiritual energy and still carry a little spiritual energy to a certain extent.

Among them, the intact large pieces of stone will be used as building materials to construct the monks’ sect residences.

The scraps that were cut and broken off became complete garbage and no one cared about them at all.

It would be perfect to use these things as payment to the weak monsters.

As for what he wanted these little monsters to do, that was naturally Jiang Li’s old trick.

Or they are those low-level ghosts and spirits that ordinary cultivators simply look down upon.

After witnessing Shen Ruoshi's Earth Dust Sutra, he was deeply shocked by the power of the five earth cones in the opponent's final outburst.

It directly penetrated the fighting arena, something that would never happen again in any normal sect martial arts competition.

This is the power of accumulation in daily life and then bursting out in one day.

Although Jiang Li did not have this kind of skills, he had the Yin Burial Coffin and his own infinite spiritual treasure that could continuously output high-quality spiritual energy.

It is a sheer waste for ordinary cultivators to spend spirit stone resources to cultivate low-level ghosts, but Jiang Li’s demand for these ghosts is indeed that the more the better.

As long as he is given a certain amount of time, he can use a large amount of spiritual energy to raise an extremely terrifying army of ghosts.

Another is the burial coffin.

With the nourishment of Jiang Li's spiritual energy and the filling of a large amount of yin spirits and ghosts inside, this magic weapon not only completely recovered its state of complete victory, but its grade was infinitely close to the upper limit of the Xuan-grade magic weapon.

Jiang Li could also feel that the Yin Burial Coffin was slowly undergoing a transformation. Perhaps as long as it accumulated enough energy, it would be able to leap forward to a higher level! A ground-level magic weapon!

In the entire Dachongshan cultivation world, it is extremely rare and precious. Even though Jiang Li has become an inner sect disciple, he knows very little about magic weapons of this level.

If the Yin Burial Coffin could really be upgraded to an Earth-grade magic weapon, then he would make a fortune.

Jiang Li later counted the number of ghosts in the burial coffins and found that there were more than 345,000 ghosts.

As the ghosts gradually grew stronger, the concentration of spiritual energy and yin energy inside continued to rise, and the space inside the burial coffin expanded several times compared to when it was in Yunxi City. The current size of the space would not have any problem holding a football game.

This shows that continuously investing in ghosts is beneficial to the transformation of the burial coffin.

No matter whether the upgrade of this coffin requires 500,000 ghosts, or 1 million ghosts, or more, it is just a matter of accumulation. Jiang Li is determined to get it!
