Wilderness, Five Elements Sect Stronghold
When the sect's logistics flying boat arrived, Lin Jiang led people to greet it early. A familiar disciple winked at Lin Jiang, and then quietly handed Lin Jiang a bundle, which contained eight large storage bags with the things Lin Jiang needed. A
group of Qi training disciples came forward to move things from the flying boat. Low-level resources took up too much space, and it was not cost-effective to put them in storage bags, so they were piled up directly. Only valuable things were put in storage bags.
"General Manager, the supplies are confirmed to be correct."
Someone counted them on the side, and finally took a document for Lin Jiang to sign. He was the person in charge. If the number was wrong, he would be responsible.
"Okay, load the goods."
Lin Jiang waved his hand, and then the group of disciples moved bags of supplies from the open space to the flying boat. These were all materials collected from the stronghold, mainly materials for monsters, and a large number of spiritual medicines, ores, etc. After taking them back to the sect, someone would do secondary processing to refine weapons, elixirs and many other items to make huge profits.
"Manager Xiao, the materials have been confirmed to be correct. Let's sign together."
"Okay, will you come again next month, brother?"
"Come on, I'll come for the next three years."
"That's great, happy cooperation."
Lin Jiang took out a small storage bag and stuffed it into his sleeve. He could smuggle it for a long time in the future. It's not just spiritual grains, other things are also possible.
Half a day later, Lin Jiang appeared outside the base. Yue Qing and others were already waiting. There are not many people in the winemaking workshop now. There are only three masters, nine assistants, and Jiang Shu is responsible for security, less than 20 people.
"When is the earliest time to produce wine?"
"Half a month will do."
"Okay, then wait for half a month. Work hard, we won't let you down."
"Thank you, manager."
"Brother Yue, keep an eye on it. I'm leaving first."
Lin Jiang left the materials and left soon. He had to go back to work. There was a lot of work to do during the day.
·······
"Master, you called me."
On this day, Lin Jiang received a message from Zhang Wanjing and came to see him.
"I heard that you are restless and are messing around again."
"No, I'm such an honest person."
"Isn't the brewery outside the base yours?"
"Yes, but is it against the rules?"
"Does it have the final say on whether it is against the rules or not?"
"Is it so shady?"
Lin Jiang was speechless. This was a bit unethical. If you say you are against the rules, then you are against the rules.
"That's just the beginning."
"Okay, Master, you can just say what you want to say. If you want some shares, it's not impossible."
"Master doesn't think much of your little bit, but it's not impossible to do something else."
"What does Master want to do?"
"I know everything you and Shuhua said. You are right. From the beginning, your idea was right, so I want to follow your method, first make money, then gather people, so that we can plan big things."
Zhang Wanjing said. Since the head of the sect instructed him to change, he made mistakes again and again, and every time Lin Jiang put forward different opinions, he just didn't listen. Now thinking about it, he regrets it.
So Zhang Wanjing has now figured it out and he needs to be more flexible in doing things and not be so rigid anymore.
"Master, we can't violate the sect's rules."
"I didn't say to violate the sect's rules. Is there no other way besides this?"
"There is a way, but we just don't have the manpower. The disciples' cultivation is too low, and many things can't be done."
"You don't have manpower, but I do."
"Master, don't you have only two disciples, me and my senior brother?"
"There are only two disciples, but there are a lot of senior brothers, junior brothers, nephews and so on. I tell you the truth, after I was squeezed out of the Internal Affairs Hall, without me and those people to hold it together, the Internal Affairs Hall is now in a mess
. People who do things can't make merit and get promoted, and all the benefits are taken away by those who are in office for free. Before, we were farming in the outer sect and had no hope, so they were also waiting and watching, but now it's different. I have the final say in this stronghold, and many people want to join me."
Zhang Wanjing said. In his opinion, this group of people are the only disciples left in the Five Elements Sect who are willing to do practical work, and the others are either in office for free or just muddle through.
Those who carry firewood for the people should not be frozen to death in the wind and snow. He had to save some vitality for the Five Elements Sect, so he decided to help these people and find a way out for them.
"Are there many people?"
"There are still dozens of them."
"Are they strong?"
"The main thing is to build the foundation, and there are currently four golden elixirs."
"That's enough. With this power, we can definitely accomplish something."
"So what do you think?"
"Starting a new business, Master?"
"Starting a new business?"
"Yes, in the wilderness, my brewing and other things are just to make some pocket money. The real money comes from the elixirs, talismans, weapons and arrays. In the stronghold, no matter what we do, we can't beat Xingyuan Tower. This is a business backed by the entire sect. How can we win?
So we started a new business and opened another stronghold somewhere else. Groups of independent cultivators dare to open strongholds, so why can't we? Four golden elixirs and dozens of foundation building are stronger than ordinary small sects."
Lin Jiang said. In the stronghold, no matter what they do, they have to follow the rules of the Five Elements Sect. If they want to expand, that is impossible. The only way is to start a new business.
And small strongholds are numerous in the wilderness. Many independent cultivators and small sects will open their own strongholds. Even if their reputation and security are not as good as those of large sects such as the Five Elements Sect, they can still make a lot of money.
"It's very dangerous to open a base by yourself. Do you know how many immortal cultivators die in the wilderness every year?"
"Master, the risk and return are proportional. There is really no such thing as a pie in the sky."
"I'll think about it."
"I think Master should ask those people for their opinions. If they are willing to take risks, they should not be stopped. Everyone has the right to choose."
"Let's wait and see,"
Zhang Wanjing said. He didn't know what these people were thinking now, so he had to wait and see.
Ten days later, four Jindan disciples of the Five Elements Sect came to the Wilderness Base. They didn't come to accept the sect's mission, but came as individuals. Before coming, they had resigned from all their positions in the sect and only retained the status of ordinary disciples.
Zhang Wanjing warmly entertained them. While drinking, the four talked about the sect's affairs. When Zhang Wanjing was in the sect, he would not be afraid of anyone and supervised the work of the various halls of the Internal Affairs Hall. They could guarantee the credit for their work.
But after Zhang Wanjing left, the situation changed. They still did the work, but when they received the credit, it was someone else's. At first, they thought that someone would make the decision for them, but after a few years, they were disappointed.
They didn't want to go along with those people, nor did they want to give up, so they resigned and decided to go out and try their luck.
"Brother Zhang, please take us in and let us follow you."
"Yes, Brother Zhang, although it's tiring to follow you, it's exciting to work."
"Yes, we are not greedy. We get paid according to how much work we do. We are willing to contribute to the sect, but we don't want to be fools. Why do those people get more than us without doing anything? I don't accept it." "
Four brothers, don't be anxious. My disciple has given me an idea. I wonder if you are interested."
"Brother Zhang, please go ahead."
"The four of you build another base outside and run it independently. All the money you earn is yours,"
said Zhang Wanjing. He thought about it for a few days and felt that this suggestion was feasible. Even he couldn't get the treasures of the Five Elements Sect, let alone others. So he had to find a way outside. No matter how to get it, sufficient financial resources are necessary.
"Brother, the Wilderness is not a sect. It's very dangerous to work alone."
"Yes, senior brother, several golden elixirs die in the Wilderness every year."
"How can I not know that this is dangerous, but I've thought about it. This is your only hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Forget about the sect's Nascent Soul Pill. It's not even my turn, and you won't get the next one if there is one. You can only have a chance outside. Whether you snatch it from the depths of the Wilderness or find a way in other states, it requires money, a lot of money. How much life span do you have to spend on just the salary from the sect?" "
This..."
The four of them hesitated immediately. Zhang Wanjing's words made sense, but the Wilderness was really dangerous. People died every day while building the foundation and practicing Qi, and there were also golden elixirs every year. This money was not easy to earn.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I won't go. The golden elixir can live for 500 years, I think it's enough."
"Brother, I'm willing to give it
a try." "I'm willing to give it a try too."
"I want to give it a try."
The four of them considered for a long time, one withdrew, and the other three were willing to give it a try. Those casual cultivators in the Qi training stage and the foundation building stage dared to lick blood on the blade of the wild. There was no reason for them not to dare. They all had the same brain and no one was afraid of anyone.
"Junior Brother Wang doesn't want to stay in the wild, then you can support the three junior brothers in the medicine city. The resources in the wild have to be sold after they are collected. The medicine city also needs people to support them. How about it?"
"Yes"
"Okay, we'll discuss the details. You haven't been to the wild for many years, and the situation is different from before. Stay here to find out the situation first, and then make specific plans."
Zhang Wanjing nodded. He just needed someone to support him in the rear to convert the collected resources, so that the whole line could be pulled up. If he really did it, then there would be no shortage of money, and the salary of the sect would be nothing.
