In Zhongzhou, the carnival of profiteers in Shenmu City
has ended. A group of profiteers gathered in Qinghuan Building to celebrate. This time, all the businesses in Shenmu City, big or small, made a fortune. It was
just a matter of how much they made. But they still thought they didn't make much. They said that if Shenmu Sect and Lingyue Sect fought to the death, they could make a fortune after fighting for ten or eight years.
Lin Jiang shook his head. The appetite of this group of people was really too big. It was a bit dangerous to mix with them. If they made money like this, wouldn't they be afraid of revenge from Shenmu Sect?
So Lin Jiang quietly slipped away and returned to the business. The people in the business were working overtime overnight to count the profits.
"Uncle, I've roughly calculated that we made almost the same profit of the previous two years in three months. We still have a lot of raw materials, so we don't need to restock for at least three to five years. We sold too little,"
Lin Cunjian said to Lin Jiang. They acted relatively late, and Lin Jiang was not evil enough. The other businesses directly colluded with the manager of Shenmu Sect and purchased their materials in large quantities. Lin Jiang did not use this relationship to build up a relationship, but took advantage of the increase in market prices when Shenmu Sect increased its armaments to get a share of the profits.
"Cunjian, you have to remember that everyone can only earn wealth within their own cognition. They may earn a little more because of some opportunities, but they will often slip away in other ways. You have to be satisfied with what you can't catch. Do you understand?"
"Yes, uncle."
"Everyone has been exhausted in the past few months. Give everyone two months' salary. Let's have a dinner together in a few days and prepare more delicious food."
Lin Jiang nodded. Most of the goods in their company were refined by themselves, and only a small part was provided by the cooperating immortal cultivators. Lin Cunjian and his men were exhausted in the past few months, and Lin Jiang couldn't treat them harshly. Of course, he must be the one who earned the most. There is nothing to say about this.
Since Lin Jiang's industry was gone, Lin Jiang also began to do things impartially. All the shares of the company belonged to him. Lin Cunjian and his men were all workers, and at most they had a little more conscience than other profiteers.
"Thank you, uncle,"
Lin Cunjian replied. The Lin family members didn't think that Lin Jiang was cheating them, because the salary Lin Jiang gave them was higher than that of other companies, and the company provided them with food and accommodation, which was much better than others.
In their hearts, they were full of gratitude to Lin Jiang, and felt that Lin Jiang had treated them as a family, and a family would not cheat another family.
········
Bingzhou, Wilderness StrongholdLin
Jiang was bragging with a group of casual cultivators. Anyway, they were all casual acquaintances, no one knew each other, and they might never see each other again after today, so bragging didn't matter.
Of course, Lin Jiang wouldn't be stupid enough to brag about how rich he was, he only boasted about some romantic things, which made everyone laugh.
Drinking, bragging, and finding women are excellent ways for casual cultivators to relieve stress, especially in the wilderness, where no one knows how long they can live. Walking in the wilderness, every step may be a trap, which is extremely stressful.
"Bang"
As they were talking, a big man pushed the door open and came in. His murderous aura made the scene quiet. Everyone looked back and saw a big man with a face full of flesh standing there. Someone quietly released his spiritual sense to investigate, and then his face changed.
"Son, come here"
Lin Jiang didn't care at all and waved to the big man.
At this moment, the casual cultivators who were bragging to Lin Jiang at the same table were shocked. It turned out that you kid really didn't brag. With a son in the Nascent Soul stage, you can really do whatever you want.
The little idiot sat down next to Lin Jiang. When he saw the wine and meat on the table, he grabbed it and ate it. He was not afraid of poison. Anyway, he was a monster with thick skin and flesh, and ordinary poisons could not kill him.
"Son, how did you get it?"
"See for yourself"
The little idiot threw out a storage bag. Lin Jiang's spiritual sense explored it and his face was immediately full of surprise.
"I'll leave first"
The casual cultivators at the same table left one after another. They were at different levels and couldn't talk to each other, so they ran away as soon as possible.
"You did a good job this time. You embezzled more than 400,000 Lingshi from me before. Rounding it off to 500,000, plus interest, let's call it 800,000. We are one family, so the interest is only 1%, which is reasonable and legal and not usury. I think the harvest this time is worth 3,000 to 5,000 Lingshi. Come on, young man, work hard, and I will find you a little female bird next year."
Lin Jiang said with a smile. After the war between Shenmu Sect and Lingyue Sect ended, Lin Jiang's life in Shenmu City returned to ordinary, while Xiao Sha Diao was in huge debt and was confined. In desperation, he petitioned Lin Jiang to go to the wilderness to hunt monsters to repay the debt. Lin Jiang agreed and handed over the business to Lin Cunjian and others, and brought Xiao Sha Diao to the wilderness.
Of course, Lin Jiang hid in the stronghold to brag and fart, and the main work was done by Xiao Sha Diao.
When Xiao Shatan heard what Lin Jiang said, the food in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor. He slapped the table and said, "Shopkeeper, where are the people?"
"Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Light up the lights"
"Ah"
"It's too dark"
"Ah"
"Go quickly"
"Yes, yes"
The young man did not dare to argue with the Yuanying boss. Anyway, the lights were worthless, so he quickly turned on the lighting formation.
The little sand sculpture looked at Lin Jiang's face and said, "It's still too dark, I can't see clearly"
"I told you not to mess with the birds of no reputation, look at this child, he has learned to talk nonsense"
"You are cruel enough"
The little sand sculpture was so angry that he vomited blood. This time he hunted three third-level monsters, each of which was worth at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. In the bastard master's place, it turned into three to five thousand?
"Thank you for the compliment, son"
"If you have the ability, don't catch me and bully me alone, if you have the ability, go and bully outsiders"
"I just don't have the ability, I just want to be arrogant in my nest, how about biting me"
"I want to change..."
"Ahem, keep a low profile, you are a human now"
The little sand sculpture looked sad and angry, no longer said much, lowered his head and ate his meal fiercely, he had summed up the experience, don't argue with the master, you can't win, no one is as cheap as the master.
Lin Jiang laughed out loud. He liked the way that Xiao Shadiao wanted to kill him but couldn't. It was very refreshing.
In the following days, Lin Jiang and Xiao Shadiao didn't go out. They hid in the room to deal with the prey. Xiao Shadiao knew very few spiritual medicines and could only search by instinct, so he didn't find many spiritual medicines. He mainly hunted monsters.
But the value of each part of the monster was different, so it needed to be carefully distinguished. These were delicate jobs that Xiao Shadiao couldn't play, so Lin Jiang had to do it himself.
After dividing the prey, Lin Jiang didn't sell it to the merchants in the stronghold. Lin Jiang himself had stayed in the wild stronghold of the Five Elements Sect for many years and knew how shady the merchants here were. He wouldn't give these profiteers a chance. When the time came, he would pack it up and bring it back to Shenmu City. All the profits would be his. After
a few days of rest, Lin Jiang sent Xiao Shadiao out again, encouraging him to keep up the good work and strive to pay off the debt owed to him and earn the future rations.
But when he went out, he saw a huge flying boat landing. There was a crescent-shaped emblem on the flying boat. Lin Jiang thought, isn't this the mark of Lingyue Sect? How did it get here?
Sure enough, a large group of beautiful female cultivators got off the flying boat. The scattered cultivators in the base were almost staring at them. Some of them have been here for decades, and they really look at sows with delicate features.
But as the powerful spiritual sense of the leading female cultivator swept over, a large group of people's faces changed, and they dared not look at her.
The leading female cultivator sensed that her spiritual sense disappeared from Xiao Shadiao. She looked over and nodded to Xiao Shadiao first, which was a tacit greeting.
"Dad, does she like me? She smiled at me."
"Shut up, you know nothing, get out of here."
Lin Jiang hurriedly covered his mouth. That person is a big boss of the God of Transformation, okay? He is looking for death. You are a rookie of the fourth level, you are not good enough.
"Boring"
Xiao Shadiao was a little speechless, and quickly walked out of the base and lived the life of a worker again, and had to make money for the boss.
The guarding Yuanying of the stronghold has appeared and is talking with the Lingyue Sect's Huashen. The power behind this stronghold is from Bingzhou, but it has a good relationship with Lingyue Sect, so naturally they have to arrange a place for them.
When everyone from Lingyue Sect left, a group of casual cultivators immediately started talking again.
"Those women are so beautiful. I wonder if they are here to do business. If they are, I will take care of their business even if I have to sell everything I have."
"I think you are a fool. Look carefully, they are from Lingyue Sect."
"What is Lingyue Sect?"
"Lingyue Sect is a sect in Zhongzhou. They have a Hedao Patriarch in charge."
"Hiss."
"Do you still want to take care of them?"
"That's not a bad idea. With my face and strong body, it shouldn't be a problem for me to hook up with a few female disciples."
A group of casual cultivators talked about women every three sentences, and suddenly a cheerful atmosphere filled the air.
"What is the Lingyue Sect doing here? Are they hunting monsters? Big sects generally don't hunt monsters,"
someone asked curiously. Top big sects don't hunt monsters. First, they don't care about the money. At most, they set up bases in the wilderness. The dangerous work is done by independent cultivators. They just need to exploit them from a high position. Second, once a big sect intervenes, it is easy to overdo it, which will cause the monsters to counterattack. Maybe it will be another war between humans and monsters, which is not good for anyone.
"It is probably for the Lingyue Sect traitor Xiao Lingyue,"
someone answered. The incident between Shenmu Sect and Lingyue Sect was a big deal. Even Bingzhou had heard about it. People who were well-informed knew it a long time ago.
Lin Jiang also felt that this possibility was very high. He immediately felt something was wrong. His greed kicked in and he realized that this place was not safe again.
"Should I run away?"
Lin Jiang hesitated. He had only been here for less than two months and hadn't made any money. Should he choose money over life, or life over money?
