In the following days, Shang Lin spent his time either refining pills or drawing talismans, and doing his homework became a form of rest. However, to his surprise, Xing Tian, who had received the news, did not come home, and he even asked him about it.
However, Xing Tian said, "Those are only temporary. I believe my father will definitely resolve them. I also want to take this opportunity to get my father to move away completely and stay far away from them. Otherwise, as long as he is still in the area, my grandmother and the others will never have peace unless they divide up our family property."
"If we move, they won't come after us, right?" It seems like they'd do anything for huge profits!
Xing Tian, however, said confidently, "That's different. Who can live a life without any problems and recklessly chase after their brothers for money? Even if they do come, they still need money for food, clothing, and shelter. Besides, their health can't take it in the long run. And my grandmother is getting old. Others can go through all that trouble, but she can't. But why should my father have to worry about the others?"
Shang Lin, "..."
What you said makes a lot of sense, so what else can I say? In the end, all I can say is, "It's up to you to decide."
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Shang Lin personally delivered the last order of pills and talismans that Situ Pojun had ordered, including a robe that he had gifted him.
After all, it's a big order, and I'd like to ask Situ Pojun about how to register the Yuntai Sect. I might have to trouble him, so it's not good to get something for nothing.
When I attended the auction before, my name was listed as Qingfeng Temple because Yuntai Sect wasn't registered. I was thinking of asking Situ Pojun how to get it registered when I got back, but I never had the chance. Now I finally have the opportunity.
Oh, Shang Lin also wanted to ask Situ Pojun, at this hour, has he succeeded in taking Shang Jing away?
Situ Pojun was in a good mood when he saw the pills and talismans. When he saw that Shang Lin had even given him a magic robe, he was even happier. So, while carefully looking at the pills, he answered his question, "Shang Jing's appointment letter has been issued. It won't be easy for you to see him then."
Sure enough, Director Situ never fails to take anyone he wants. However, Shang Lin really wanted to ask him, "Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to see Shang Jing? I'm really not that familiar with him, okay? Seriously, I'm not even as familiar with you as he is."
However, there was no need to say such things, so Shang Lin asked, "How many people are in the Donghai office? It can't just be the two of you, can it?"
Situ Pojun went to look at the talismans again. "Currently, it's just the two of us. We'll assign more people later, but those who can be transferred won't be clueless newbies; they'll be people like me who are sent there."
Shang Lin paused, "Are there any performance targets required each year?"
Situ Pojun then looked up at Shang Lin, "Yes, but it's so low it's negligible. So I'm also preparing to learn business from Shang Jing. Maybe when we meet again, I'll already be a man with a mountain of gold."
Shang Lin, "..."
He was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment; he too longed to possess a mountain of gold. However, the future was uncertain. Was Situ Pojun's statement optimism, or merely a mask for pessimism?
However, Shang Lin still cooperated and said, "In that case, I wish you all the best in achieving your dreams soon."
Situ Pojun put it even better: "Likewise."
Shang Lin then asked about Yuntai Sect's lack of registration and its desire to do so.
Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin with a very complicated expression, which could only be described as indescribable. "So, your Yuntai Sect is just something you talk about?!"
Shang Lin sighed helplessly, “What do you mean by just talking nonsense? I just came from a small mountain village and I don’t know anything. Besides, most of us in the sect are outcasts. I don’t know how to register or what form to take.”
Situ Pojun glanced at the pills and talismans on the coffee table and patiently explained to Shang Lin, "You need to first determine the sect's main and secondary businesses before you can decide where to register. For example, if you want to do business and run ordinary businesses, then register a company with the Administration for Industry and Commerce and follow their procedures. If you want to refine pills, draw talismans, and do exorcism, you'll need to add another relevant department. In short, the process is quite complicated."
"So there are so many procedures in the human world!" Shang Lin suddenly realized he had been taking things for granted. "What if we wanted to do all these profitable businesses?"
“Of course, you can have a head office and a branch office, or even register them separately.” Situ Pojun casually put away the pills. “But personally, I think it would be easier for you to develop by joining a certain relevant department, but you would earn less money. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to both options, it all depends on which side you prioritize.”
Choices are always like this, so Shang Lin nodded in agreement, "I understand. I'll go back and discuss it with everyone. But we must register a company first, so we don't lack a legitimate reason to act."
Situ Pojun picked up a teleportation talisman and asked, "How far is this teleportation distance?"
The topic jumped around, and Shang Lin immediately replied, "Within a thousand kilometers, and it also depends on the user. If the user is powerful, the teleportation distance will be longer, and vice versa."
Situ Pojun was shocked to hear this, "It can teleport this far?!"
Shang Lin really wanted to say, "This is far? This is just the initial distance, okay? In the cultivation world, no one would use such a short distance. It's not even enough to get from one mountain to another."
But considering that even teleportation talismans are rare in the human world now, a distance of a thousand kilometers is indeed very far. However, "there are so many means of transportation in the world now, and no one uses teleportation talismans much."
Situ Pojun, "..."
Haha, you're too naive. It's not that no one uses it, it's that you can't even see it, okay? Even if you did see it, you probably couldn't afford to use it.
Shang Lin asked again, "Those four people, according to Shang Jing, even alarmed the government offices in the mortal realm?"
Situ Pojun immediately put on a serious face, "It wasn't those four people who directly alerted us, but rather they indirectly led us to the gang that illegally hunts and sells rare wild animals."
Well, this has indeed alerted them. "Where are those four people?"
“They’re still being held here with me. They’re even stranger, so we’re still investigating.”
"...Isn't it difficult to investigate?"
“Hmm.” Situ Pojun said seriously, “But it must be resolved before I leave.”
"Alright, feel free to ask if you need any help. After all, I'm the one who brought them here." Shang Lin stood up and said, "I have to go home after delivering the remaining stock."
Situ Pojun quickly put away the talisman and said with a smile, "In such a hurry to go back and do your homework again?"
Shang Lin smiled, "Going back to buy New Year's goods, isn't it almost New Year's?"
