In the wilderness, the Five Elements Sect’s
stronghold, without Zhang Wanjing’s supervision, Lin Jiang returned to his nature, and was lazy and gluttonous. He spent three months in Medicine City, doing nothing every day, listening to music in brothels, until Zhang Shuhua couldn’t stand it anymore, and came to capture Lin Jiang.
“Brother Xiao, you are finally back. If you don’t come back, I will be so anxious.”
Yue Qing saw Lin Jiang and exclaimed exaggeratedly. It’s not his fault. Zhang Wanjing left, and Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua returned to the sect. There was no one to protect them in the stronghold. He couldn’t handle such a big business.
“I went back to repair the spiritual tools, which delayed me a little bit,”
Lin Jiang said casually. His super-high-quality spiritual tools were all customized, and they were not repaired by ordinary tool refiners. It really took a lot of time and spirit stones.
"It's good that you're back. I was worried without you here."
"Is there anyone trying to take our business?"
"Of course not. Many people are circling around us. God knows what they want to do."
"Don't worry, I'm back. I promise I'll be fine."
Lin Jiang comforted Yue Qing. Zhang Wanjing just ran away, not dead. As long as Zhang Wanjing's soul lamp was still on, those people would not dare to take action. But if Zhang Wanjing really died, their business would be over.
Then Lin Jiang asked about business again. Yue Qing's answer was very good. Three months ago, in the battle of Ziyuan Daoguo, a large number of independent cultivators became rich. With money, they spent a lot of money, and spiritual stones came in a rush.
Now Lin Jiang and his business is very complete. The spiritual wine in the winemaking workshop is very low-end, but it wins in large quantities. In addition, mid-range and high-end spiritual wines are also sold, but they are not produced by themselves, but imported from Yaocheng and other places.
In addition, things like elixir, talismans, weapons and arrays are all involved. It cannot be compared with Xingyuan Building, but for the foundation-building period, the amount of money earned is also very scary.
However, the expenses are not small. Lin Jiang has opened up the entire upper and lower lines. The benefits that should be given will not be less than a single spiritual stone. It is not just them who get the money.
After understanding the situation, Lin Jiang did not say much, let alone show any business ideas of a time traveler. That is all bullshit. People in the world of immortal cultivation are not stupid. Moreover, Lin Jiang's business is all about relationships. It doesn't matter if there is no relationship, then no matter how powerful the business talent is, it is useless.
What is the most profitable business in the world? Is it innovation? No, it is monopoly, relying on organizations, and power.

"Uncle Wei, Uncle Zou, Uncle Yu, why are you here?"
A few days later, Lin Jiang met the three uncles at the base and went up to say hello.
"Xiao Yi, didn't you receive the news?"
"No, my master left, and the sect sent an uncle who I'm not familiar with to take care of it temporarily,"
Lin Jiang said. Now the stronghold is temporarily managed by another Jindan, but Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua are still in charge of all matters, the reason is very simple. After ten years of operation, all the people in the stronghold are Zhang Wanjing's people.
"The sect intends to set up another stronghold in the wilderness, and has set its eyes on our stronghold."
"Free?"
"No, they will compensate us, and we also want to take a break,"
Wei Yunshen said. Their stronghold in the wilderness has been established for ten years. They have made a lot of money in these ten years. It's time to retreat while the tide is rising. It's just right to take the money and go back to practice. Cultivation is still the first step.
"Uncle, your stronghold is not good, why do you retreat?"
"Too many casualties, many people have died in these years, you should pay more attention to it, and you will definitely benefit from it when the time comes,"
Wei Yunshen said. In these ten years, the three of them are fine, but many of their subordinates have died, even their disciples have been lost, the wilderness is still too dangerous.
The three of them left in a hurry, and Lin Jiang quickly found Zhang Shuhua to discuss it. Zhang Shuhua said, "I have heard a little about this matter. This time, the three sects are acting together. The Heavenly Wolf King is dead. Before a new king monster appears in the wilderness, we must suppress the living environment of the monsters in the wilderness as much as possible."
"Brother, I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is that once the sect takes a big action, will we be cannon fodder? Have you forgotten how Guo Yunfeng targeted us before?"
"Junior brother, to be honest, if this is the case, there is nothing we can do. Even if my father is here, he cannot disobey the sect's order. We are not special people. Someone has to carry out the dangerous missions. It doesn't make sense that others can go but we can't."
"Senior brother, I'm not afraid of fighting, but I don't want to die in vain. If there is a mission that requires death and you are asked to go, will you go?"
"Junior brother, you are being extreme."
"Anyway, it's better to be careful. Senior brother, to tell you the truth, I have my own means of saving my life, I'm worried about you,"
Lin Jiang said. With the Explosive Yuan Technique and the set of super-high-quality equipment, it would be difficult for him to find an opponent in the Foundation Establishment Period. With the addition of Xiao Sha Diao, he would be sure to escape even if it was a mission that required death in the Foundation Establishment Period, but it would not be certain for Zhang Shuhua.
"We'll talk about it later. This matter won't go on so quickly. It's not that simple to advance the stronghold. We need to choose a location first, then clear the high-level monsters around, and then slowly find people to build a stronghold. The whole process may take three to five years."
Zhang Shuhua thought about it. Maybe his father would come back in three to five years. It's not certain who will die by then.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Zhang Shuhua, Lin Jiang didn't say anything more. Just walk and see. Anyway, he wasn't afraid.
In the following days, the news spread slowly. The stronghold was discussed from top to bottom, including the casual cultivators. The casual cultivators were naturally very dissatisfied, because this was the sect competing with them for food, but it was useless to be dissatisfied. Their protests were just farts.
Half a month later, the Five Elements Sect mobilized hundreds of people again. They were not the previous batch, but new personnel. Almost all of them were elite soldiers and generals. The strength of the Five Elements Sect can be seen.
After many discussions in the sect, the stronghold established by Wei Yunshen and the other three was acquired by the sect. No one knew what compensation was given. It was only known that the three happily handed over the stronghold.
After that, the sect used the current stronghold as a stepping stone to start building a new stronghold. The first thing was to clear the fourth-level monsters in the wilderness.
After the death of the Heavenly Wolf King, the fourth-level monsters in the wilderness were leaderless. According to past experience, it would not take many years for some of them to advance to become the new monster king. It is said that they were suppressed by the Heavenly Wolf King before, so they could not break through. Now that the Heavenly Wolf King is gone, they may find an opportunity to break through. Of course, it is also possible that powerful monsters will come out from the deeper part of the wilderness to rule this area.
But no matter what, this is an empty and weak period for the monsters. The three major sects of Yunzhou decided to take this opportunity to suppress them to the extreme and advance the stronghold together. It is
not necessary to use the foundation-building period to eliminate the fourth-level monsters. That is the job of the Yuanying ancestors. Even for other monsters, there are golden elixirs in charge. Lin Jiang and his men were not sent to fight.
"Junior brother, the news from above has been confirmed. We are fine and will not be sent to fight."
A few days later, Zhang Shuhua came back from the sect to find out the news and told Lin Jiang. Not only was Lin Jiang worried about being used as cannon fodder, but so were the other people in the stronghold. They were all Zhang Wanjing's people. In order to appease everyone, Zhang Shuhua had to take responsibility, because he was the eldest brother.
"I also received the news. Now we are safe, but we have been left out."
Lin Jiang nodded. Guo Yunfeng still didn't dare to kill them, but they were left out. After the new stronghold was built, other people would be arranged to garrison, while Lin Jiang and his men would continue to stay in this old stronghold. By then, when everyone went to the new stronghold, there wouldn't be many casual cultivators coming here to rest. Without casual cultivators, this place would be a cold bench, and Lin Jiang's business would be over.
"Being ignored is better than losing your life. You know how many people have died during this period. Besides, you have made a lot of money in these years."
"I know, I'm just complaining,"
Lin Jiang replied. He was just complaining. The new base could not be built in a short time. He could still make more money. Besides, Zhang Wanjing was the most important. If he came back with the Nascent Soul cultivation, would he be afraid of having no place to make money? Afterwards,
Lin Jiang talked with Yue Qing for a long time and asked Yue Qing to pay attention to the changes in the flow of people in the base. Once the flow of people decreased on a large scale, he had to reduce investment. It didn't matter if he didn't make money, but he couldn't lose money.
