A month has passed since Ye Suifeng came to this world.
During this month, he finally gained a preliminary understanding of the situation on this continent and the overall method of cultivation.
This is an extremely vast land, spanning tens of millions of miles. Even if an ordinary monk spends his entire life, it is impossible for him to travel across the entire continent.
Yunxiao City is located in the center of the northern region of the continent, but slightly to the north.
This area in the center of the Northern Territory is uniformly managed by a super organization called the Nine Cities Alliance.
Sucheng is one of the Nine Cities Alliance, governing five main cities including Yunxiao City, as well as many other secondary cities.
Every three years, Yunxiao City would pay a large amount of resources to Su City in order to gain Su City's protection.
It is actually protection fee.
If there were no protection fees, other cities would wantonly attack Yunxiao City, and even Sucheng would attack out of boredom.
In that case, Yunxiao City will be destroyed instantly.
"Reasonable."
“To enjoy the convenience brought by the rules in an organization, you have to pay something.”
Ye Suifeng had no objection to this kind of protection fee. In fact, he preferred order and rules, which made things more interesting.
Otherwise, it would really be a bloody survival of the fittest, just like in primitive times.
There is no civilization at all.
As for the cultivation system of this world, it was not much different from what he had imagined.
There are twelve levels in refining and transforming Qi, while building the foundation, golden elixir, primordial infant, coming out of the body, transformation of the spirit, fusion, and overcoming the tribulation are all nine levels.
The Tribulation Period is the cutting-edge power of this world.
However, there are also rumors that some abnormal beings have avoided the heavenly calamity, hiding behind the world with strength beyond the calamity, and manipulating everything in the world.
This is a folk rumor.
But Ye Suifeng knew that it was true.
First of all, he himself is such a pervert.
Secondly, during the last tribulation, the vast spiritual consciousness of the Northern Snowfields had obviously surpassed the tribulation period.
"One day you will meet me."
Ye Suifeng was not in a hurry either. His current goal was to develop the entire Ye family into a top force in the mainland.
Today is another regular family meeting.
Ye Suifeng and several family leaders sat in the meeting room, listening to the family's situation this month.
"The beast tide on the northern border is severe, and many of our resource areas have been impacted. However, with the heavy investment of manpower and material resources, the situation has eased a lot."
"Our shop has been stabilized for the time being, and we can start to consider expanding the scale."
"With the investment of resources, many of the younger generation of the family have made progress. Our achievements in this month are almost equal to those in the previous three months!"
Ye Suiyun and a few others were discussing excitedly that with Ye Suifeng's 10 billion spirit stones, they had been living a very comfortable life this month.
To describe it in four words, it's thriving.
After the discussion, Suiyun handed this month's account to Ye Suifeng.
"Brother, since we have invested a lot of resources, this month's expenses... are also sky-high. Take a look," he said a little embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. Money is meant to be spent."
Ye Suifeng took the account book and read it carefully.
Suddenly, a surge of anger rose from my chest.
He threw the account book on the table, stared at Suiyun and asked, "Did you spend 1.5 billion spirit stones last month?"
The group suddenly quieted down.
Sui Yun's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said, "Brother, this is also the first time I have received so many spirit stones, so there were some minor problems in the planning."
"But don't worry, I will allocate the funds carefully later. Next month's expenses will definitely be controlled within 1 billion."
"Yes, big brother." Sui Hu also chimed in, "In fact, we purchased too many resources this month. Even with the increase in benefits, we have only used a small part of them. Things will definitely get better in the future."
The other two also nodded, indicating that future expenses would definitely not be that large.
Ye Suifeng looked at their performance and sighed deeply.
He knew that several people had obviously misunderstood.
How could he complain that he spent too much?
I think the flowers are too little!
He gave 10 billion spirit stones, but only spent 1.5 billion.
Ye Suifeng looked at the twenty-digit low-grade spirit stones in his wallet. The change alone amounted to more than 80 trillion.
How long will it take to spend all the remaining money?
What a bunch of idiots!
Ye Suifeng knocked on the table several times.
"Suiyun, let me ask you, how long do you think the 10 billion spirit stones I gave you will last?"
Suiyun blinked his eyes: "Isn't it a year?"
"Of course not!"
Ye Suifeng slammed his palm on the table: "I gave you 10 billion and asked you to spend it all within a month, but you only spent 1.5 billion. What the hell are you doing!"
Faced with the rage of the head of the family, several people in charge were completely stunned.
Did you hear that correctly?
That's just one month's funding?
Suiyun was even more dumbfounded. It was the first time he was scolded for spending too little money.
"Uh... Bro, are you serious?"
Ye Suifeng's face darkened: "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
My elder brother, you are too rich and arrogant!
Only Suiyun had a bitter face and whispered: "Brother, it is actually very difficult to spend so much money in a month."
"Why is it so difficult?" Ye Suifeng raised his eyebrows.
Suiyun said, "The clan's resources are limited, and now they are basically saturated. It's useless to have more, right?"
He felt extremely embarrassed. He couldn't believe that one day he would be worried about having too much money to spend.
Ye Suifeng shook his head and said, "You are limited by yourself and have not yet escaped from the cage of your previous thoughts."
"Let me ask you, are the younger generation the only ones in the family who need resources?"
"What about the family officials? What about you? What about the elders? Don't you need to practice?"
"The higher your cultivation level, the more resources you need to cultivate. Don't tell me you can't spend 10 billion."
"Even those who teach and offer sacrifices can be offered rewards so that they can work harder."
"If that doesn't work, we can recruit those civilian talents. They have everything except resources."
"Really? You don't even know how to spend money. Why do I want you to take care of the finances?"
Facing Ye Suifeng's rebuke, Suiyun shrank his head unconsciously.
Yes, he really didn't expect that kind of thing.
Because it has never been done before.
In the past, we had so much money that we wanted to use it piece by piece. We never had as much surplus as we have now.
"Even if you really don't know how to arrange it, you can always buy, buy, buy, right?"
"The Wanbao Pavilion is right there. There are so many treasures there that the 10 billion is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth," said Ye Suifeng.
Sui Yun scratched his head and said, "Brother, have you forgotten that you emptied Wanbao Pavilion last time?"
Ye Suifeng frowned slightly: "Didn't they get any goods?"
It's been a month and the goods haven't been replenished yet. This efficiency is too low.
"No." Suiyun said, "Maybe... this is the first time they have encountered such a thing, and they need time to prepare."
"Okay." Ye Suifeng said, "Let's ignore this for now. I'll go check out what's going on."
"By the way, will the young people who went to the border be back soon?" Ye Suifeng asked.
Sui Hu nodded and said, "Yes, they will come back once a month to receive training resources, and then set out again until the impact of the beast tide is completely eliminated."
"Um."
Ye Suifeng said: "That's great. You can adjust the resources based on their performance during this trip."
“Anyone who has made outstanding contributions should be well rewarded.”
"Also, don't be stingy with the many skills and spiritual tools I brought back from Wanbao Pavilion last time. Use them all."
"It's useless to have a good technique but not use it and leave it at home gathering dust!"
"Also, encourage them to actively contact talented people in the society, and preferably recruit them as their own to serve as the family's fighting force."
A series of orders were issued, and several persons in charge hurriedly took notes.
Finally, Ye Suifeng dropped another storage bag full of spirit stones.
"This is 10 billion, plus the remaining spirit stones from last month. If you still can't spend it all, I will find someone more proficient in this field to manage the family finances."
After saying that, Ye Suifeng stood up and left.
Only Suiyun was left, staring at the two large bags of shining spirit stones, his head as heavy as a bowl.
