Less than a month had passed since Liu Yizi, Gu Ming and others returned to the base.
They gathered together again.
This time, it was Liu Yizi who summoned the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sea Clan’s Holy Temple.
"Inner Sea sent a letter, our focus should still be on recruiting monks."
The incoherent words made them a little confused about what Liu Yizi was trying to express, so Gu Ming spoke at the right time.
"You mean, we should just ignore those two fellow Taoists?"
When he promised Zheng Sanjin things, he had already dug a trap, focusing on resources that Jindan and Yuanying cultivators below did not seem to care much about.
But the number is not small. If Liu Yizi gave away all the things, their plan to absorb monks would certainly come to a standstill. These days, other monks agreeing with what you said is only the beginning.
You have to show people the benefits. If they don’t see the benefits, no one will follow you wholeheartedly.
"Let the two Taoists rest there. What's more, the condition we are negotiating is his support for us in the future, not a ransom. Even if we give him these things, how about not releasing him?"
"In short, just ignore those two fellow Taoists for now."
"We came out of the Inland Sea together, and you're just going to ignore us?"
Liu Yizi certainly knew why Zheng Sanjin kept those two people. First, he was afraid that they would retaliate, and second, he was afraid that they would not give him the things he promised.
He originally didn't think these resources were anything to worry about. They were mostly used to build the golden elixir foundation and were very expensive.
But the problem is, after we sent the letter to Nei Hai, Nei Hai continued to infiltrate downwards, and we couldn't provide much support, so we were doomed.
He didn't tell Neihai what happened here, but just said that the recent rapid progress requires some resources. He can't say that I have taken a fancy to a certain force, and originally used courtesy before force, but was later controlled by them, and now I have to pay compensation to make peace.
This makes him look very bad.
Originally, if the higher-ups allocated some resources, the matter could have been dealt with, but now it's stuck here. What should he do? All these mid- and low-end resources have been given away. How can he carry out his work here? Just rely on talk?
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one, which means the two fellow Taoists can only suffer the injustice, so there was this discussion of using the tiger skin of the inner sea as a banner.
But unexpectedly, Gu Ming didn't buy it at all and revealed all his secrets.
"It's not that I don't care. I definitely want to care, but right now the Inland Sea is also using a lot of these resources and can't allocate them. For this reason, let's focus on the plan first."
"You mean Utsumi's? You can't have made that up yourself."
"Bang"
Liu Yizi slammed the table heavily, "Gu Ming, how can you be so presumptuous? You should know that it was me who brought you into the Holy Hall in the first place!"
Gu Ming had a cold expression and gently adjusted his sleeves. "Haha, I'm afraid I've touched your sore spot. You're so angry."
He stood up, walked to the center of the room, in front of several key members, and turned to look at Liu Yizi.
"I've always felt that there's no time to rush. The bigger the event, the more cautious we need to be and the slower we should proceed."
"And you?"
"He was so impatient that he wanted to take action. I tried to persuade him several times, but he just wouldn't listen."
"If it weren't for the friendship we had back then, why do you think I would advise you?"
"We agreed to use courtesy before force, courtesy before force, what about you? Your momentary impulse has led to the current situation."
"Now you have found another excuse to abandon those two Taoist friends who resolutely stayed in a dangerous place for the sake of the Holy Temple?"
"Those present here may understand, but what do you think the people below will think?"
Liu Yizi was really angry. He couldn't understand why Gu Ming changed when he reached the open sea.
In the past, he thought that Gu Ming was someone he could make close friends with, and that what Zou Miaoling said was not credible. But now, it seems that he was wrong, and that Gu Ming was truly an ambitious person.
"I didn't say I don't care."
"Then go and redeem that person."
"If we give them the resources, our plans will be disrupted."
"That means no matter what."
"I told you, I'm not going to ignore it!"
Gu Ming snorted.
"Liu Yizi, I really don't know how you became like this. You are so despicable."
After saying that, Gu Ming walked out of the room.
Liu Yizi was extremely angry, but he had no good way to vent his anger. He could only emphasize it again, and then use Neihai's name to force the matter forward.
Although the several Yuanyings didn't say anything, they all had ideas in their minds.
They were all eyewitnesses who went to Wanxian City and knew what happened. They couldn't help but feel a little sad. In addition to their yearning for the sea people, they worked hard for the Holy Temple because they thought the future of the Holy Temple was very bright.
They wanted to give it a try, but that loser Liu Yizi messed everything up.
Before Gu Ming and Liu Yizi were not fighting, the progress was slow but steady, and they did things easily. However, since the Wanxian City, Gu Ming has not been involved in specific affairs recently, and all are arranged by Liu Yizi.
They always fail to do their job well, always make mistakes, and have to deal with a lot of unnecessary things. Sometimes they can't help but want to just do it.
But thinking about the overall plan, I endured it.
Gu Ming has great talent.
But they didn't know that the reason why the original team slowed down after Liu Yizi took over was all because of the talented Gu Ming.
After he came to the outer sea, he focused on building a system that slowly promoted the absorption of human monks, proceeding step by step from top to bottom in a layered and graded manner.
It looks rigorous and efficient.
But he operated it himself, and it is easy to explain if we regard this system as a huge mechanical creation.
Some of these parts require Gu Ming to operate them personally in order to run them normally and smoothly.
When these nodes are running, they actually increase the operating time of this mechanical creation.
Gu Ming mixed all those invalid or even confusing nodes into this system in order to avoid people reaping the benefits after he had almost finished his work.
Unexpectedly, a trip to Wanxian City would trigger it ahead of time.
Just use Gu Ming's method to do your own thing, is it so easy to make a profit?
As long as Liu Yizi does not jump out of his system, he will have to bear the consequences of his efficiency being slowed down by these invalid nodes and key nodes.
You either keep wasting time like this, or you force your way out, or you ask him to go back.
Liu Yizi probably can't afford to waste time, as he has people from the inner sea putting pressure on him. He must make preparations in the outer sea before completing his layout in the inner sea.
If we use force, it will be like there is no other way out. Everyone will overturn the table, and it is very likely to affect the inland sea.
In the end, he could only ask Gu Ming for help.
At that time, he was expected to return to power.
Gu Ming instructed several monks who followed him to spread the news of what happened at today's meeting.
Let’s increase the strength for Fellow Daoist Liu.
The rest of the time, I just drink tea and listen to music.
"Come on, keep playing music and keep dancing."
