Chapter 212 Zhang Long Zhou Qing, Outer Disciple
Now that the Alchemist Alliance has withdrawn from cities such as Feilong City, Heitan City, and Qingshan City with the intention of targeting the Daluo Sect, Lu Yuan just took advantage of the situation and took over all the business in these cities.
Although Heitan City and Qingshan City are not as large as Feilong City, they are also a considerable market. Although the contract period for formal cooperation with the Daqian Royal Family in three months has not yet arrived, no one can find fault with them taking over the territory abandoned by the Alchemist Alliance.
Lu Yuan asked the chief steward of Feilong City's City Lord's Mansion to continue to keep an eye on Feilong City's business. At the same time, Lu Yuan discovered that the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion and Zhou Qing, the chief steward of the Fire Crystal Mine, were both talented.
One of them is good at managing Feilong City and the other is managing a mine. They are diligent and conscientious in their work and have great potential.
Lu Yuan asked, "Are you two interested in becoming my disciples? Although you are not allowed to be orthodox disciples, you can be my outer disciples and help me manage the business outside the sect. You two will certainly benefit from it in the future."
As soon as Lu Yuan said this, Zhang Long, the manager of the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhou Qing, the manager of the mine, both showed expressions of great joy.
The two looked at each other. They didn't expect there would be such an opportunity.
They knew the origins of City Lord Lu. This Feilong City was given to City Lord Lu by the Daqian Imperial Family. They were just at the grassroots level of Daqian and had limited abilities and channels to explore inside information. But if City Lord Lu did not have the means, could the Daqian Imperial Family have handed over such a large Feilong City, along with the terrifying annual output of the Fire Crystal Mine, to City Lord Lu?
When giving gifts, the value that the recipient can bring to him or her is generally far greater than the value of the gifts, so there is no need to say more about the value of Sect Master Lu.
Besides, Zhou Qing had seen Sect Master Lu’s strength before. When he was intimidating the Qinglong Gang in the mine before, the city lord had displayed his cultivation once. He was a genuine Nascent Soul expert!
How many Yuanying are there in the entire Daqian? You can count them on two hands.
Given Zhang Long and Zhou Yuan's status, if a Jindan master wanted to accept them as disciples, they would be so grateful that they would wake up smiling in their dreams, not to mention the Nascent Soul stage.
Even if they are outer disciples, they are still Nascent Soul disciples, and their identities and status are completely different. Who would not show respect when someone calls themselves a Nascent Soul disciple when walking outside?
The two of them quickly knelt down and became his disciples, and Lu Yuan accepted them as outer disciples.
Of course, Lu Yuan didn't hire them for nothing, it was just a win-win for both parties, and Lu Yuan also valued their ability to get things done.
The Daluo Sect is still too short of manpower now. The business is so big that it needs its own people to manage it.
Lu Yuan is now cultivating his confidants, and he has a clear classification of the positions of his disciples.
Disciples such as Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, Zhang Feifei, Ning Feng and Gao Yang belong to the core sequence of Daluo Sect. They follow the path of cultivation and combat power. They are the backbone of Daluo Sect in the future and the representatives of strength.
Yao Xuan is a senior technician and a technical talent of the sect.
Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick are menial servants. The sect doesn't need these two nails at all, so these two nails will fill the gap, but they can only be used in small matters and cannot be entrusted with important tasks, otherwise it will be easy for something to go wrong.
Shangguan Yanran is a servant among servants and a cow among oxen, needless to say.
As for Lingjian Sect and Qinglan Sect, they are outsourced and are still in the process of running in. Outsourcing can definitely not be used as the core, and the quality of outsourcing varies. Lu Yuan still needs to train his own outer sect management staff.
Zhang Long and Zhou Qing were the two chosen by Lu Yuan.
For now, let them manage Feilong City and the Fire Crystal Mine. In the future, when the business grows bigger, they will naturally have a greater place to use their skills.
Lu Yuan would not be stingy with outer disciples.
He exchanged "The Art of Eternal Life" and "The Art of Five Elements Escape" for the two of them.
The Longevity Skill is also an advanced skill, and its level is higher than the Changchun Boy's Skill practiced by Crouching Dragon and Phoenix.
The Changchun Boy's Skill only aims at the celestial immortals, while this Longevity Skill is even more of a method that directly aims at the true immortals. The lifespan of one who practices it is extremely long. If practiced well, one can even achieve immortality and live as long as heaven and earth. The lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary golden immortals.
As for the Five Elements Escape Technique, it is used for them to protect themselves and escape. These two outer disciples are still in the observation stage, and their own cultivation is low. Many high-level magical powers cannot be passed on to them. The most important thing is to save their lives first. In case of a life-and-death crisis, the Five Elements Escape Technique can easily allow them to escape.
The two of them obtained the Longevity Technique and Five Elements Escape Technique passed down by Lu Yuan, and thanked their master repeatedly.
Although they didn't quite understand what level of skills their master had passed on to them, they knew that it couldn't be simple for a Nascent Soul master to teach them. Even a little bit of what came out of a master of this level's fingers would be enough for them to benefit from for a lifetime.
Neither of them was greedy, they just felt that it was a great blessing to be able to have Yuanying as their master.
Lu Yuan looked at the temperaments of the two outer disciples and nodded slightly. A good disciple is one who does not aim too high.
He said: "After you two go back, each of you should practice the skills that your master has passed on to you. Although this skill is not too advanced, it is definitely a million times stronger than what you two have practiced and learned in the first half of your life. Practice well and you will be able to achieve the Great Dao in the future.
Although you two are not my formal disciples, your future achievements will not be lower than those of ordinary monks."
That’s all Lu Yuan has to say.
The master leads them to the door, but the practice is up to the individual. Whether they can listen and what they can achieve in the future depends entirely on themselves.
Zhang Long and Zhou Qing took their skills and withdrew after expressing their gratitude profusely.
After accepting two outer disciples and passing on the teachings, Lu Yuan will have to stay in Feilong City for half a month, because he wants to continue to investigate the sales of elixirs in Feilong City, as well as plan the layout of Heitan City and Qingshan City.
In addition, Lu Yuan received news from the Daqian royal family, who told him that the royal family at Daluo Sect was still renovating the house, and it was expected to take another half a month to complete. If they went back now, they might have nowhere to live, so Lu Yuan simply continued to stay in Feilong City.
No words were spoken that night, and the next day.

Lu Yuan called Xiao Huo, Chen Nanxuan and Zhang Feifei.
"Master, what can I do for you?"
Lu Yuan said, "Because of the three-year agreement with Shangguan Yanran, the Alchemist Alliance has withdrawn the alchemy branches in the three Daqian cities of Feilong City, Heitan City, and Qingshan City. They are targeting our Daluo Sect and the Xiao family where Xiao Huo is. You probably don't know about this yet."
Xiao Huo looked a little unhappy when he heard what his master said.
I didn't expect the Shangguan family to be so despicable. The three-year agreement was originally a gamble. They should accept the defeat and there should be no further entanglement.
No one expected that Shangguan Huai would resort to such despicable means, cutting off the supply of elixirs in several Daqian cities and launching an internal ban.
Xiao Huo felt guilty as he didn't expect that his family would be implicated because of his own affairs.
Lu Yuan continued, "I asked the three of you to come here because I want to hand over the affairs of these two cities to you..."
Then Lu Yuan talked about Daluo Pharmaceutical. Since the Alchemist Alliance had withdrawn, their branches of Daluo Pharmaceutical could directly move into Heitan City and Qingshan City.
The blessings for the grassroots monks in the two cities of Heitan City and Qingshan City are coming.
Lu Yuan: "Fei Fei, Qingshan City will be left to you as a teacher. As for Heitan City, it is Xiao Huo's hometown. You grew up there and are more familiar with the various forces within Heitan City. The construction of Heitan City will be left to you and Chen Nanxuan."
Heitan City is Xiao Huo's hometown. Lu Yuan believes that he will do a good job. He is even worried that Xiao Huo cannot do it alone, so he asks Chen Nanxuan to bring the seven gourd brothers to go with him.
Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.
The two of them are like seven gourd brothers and nine cobblers. If you can't do a good job in the construction of your hometown, then you two should not come back.
He continued, "I will inform the Daqian Imperial Family of this matter and ask Emperor Qian to order the city lords of these two cities to officially cooperate with you. Go."
The three of them each took the pills and spirit stones that Lu Yuan had given them and left, each going their own way.
After they left, Jiang Ming walked in.
