Chapter 299 Gaining Profit (1)
In no time, banners recruiting soldiers were raised everywhere in the Jade Void Palace.
Even the center forward of the mountain, under Ji Rong's command, ran up to the stage, raised a sign, and began recruiting alchemists. Before long, he managed to recruit two promising talents who could not quite understand the words but possessed strange fire.
Delighted, Shan Zhongfeng wagged his tail, and he immediately, like a thief, had his companions, Hu Shiwu and Jiao Shiba, who had come to listen to Qing Pingzi's sermon, send the two back to the Blood Pill Workshop.
A debate on Taoism enriched the Jade Void Palace and also the waterways of the Canglan Mountains.
The astute shrewd businessman would never miss such a windfall opportunity.
While the letter and henchmen that Ji Rong had sent to Him by Shan Wu were still on their way, Yin Pan had already ordered the prefects of the various prefectures of the Canglan Mountains and Water Veins to allow cultivators going to the Yuxu Mountains to pass through. He also encouraged cultivators from the Canglan Mountains and Water Veins to go to the Yuxu Mountains to listen to Qing Pingzi preach and learn immortal techniques.
One of the prefects worriedly said, "If all the cultivators in charge go out, who will do the work for our subordinates? It will be chaos!"
Another official said with concern, "My Lord, if we do this, it's no different from openly robbing neighboring clans of their labor and flesh. They certainly won't give up."
"We've been fighting against our neighbors for years, suffering countless casualties. If they launch a joint attack this time, our weak points won't be able to hold."
Yinpan pondered for a moment, then said, "If those in charge want to go, let them recommend capable people. They must not hold back and the handover must be done quickly."
Once the new person in charge has sorted things out, those who wish to leave will be allowed to go.
Ladies and gentlemen, the path to immortality has just begun, and this is a rare and wonderful opportunity. Even if you wish to attend, I will support you.
As for these cultivators who went out, they were born in Canglan, so it was no big deal for them to leave temporarily.
Because their people all live in Canglan, they will always return one day.
At that time, the mountains and waterways of Canglan will surely prosper even more than before.
As for the protection of the Canglan Mountains and their waterways, you can rest assured.
When the Golden Mother traveled through the Nine Provinces, she had already taken away seven or eight tenths of the powerful clans, so they wouldn't really come to attack.
If they really unite and come to our door this time, I will personally don my armor and go meet them!
Subsequently, Yinpan began to formulate plans regarding the opening and protection of land and water routes in the Canglan Mountains, as well as pricing for food, lodging, and transport.
While he was pondering, Shan Wu, carrying Ji Rong's letter and accompanied by the butchers wielding butcher knives and exuding a bloody aura, arrived one after the other in front of the Canglan Temple, which had a huge crack in the front square.
Hearing the commotion outside, Silver Plate raised its paw to stop Amu, who was about to take his stick out of the hall to investigate. It said, "Amu, there is no need to panic. It is an old friend who has returned with new guests."
Then, He, along with Amyo, joyfully welcomed Shan Wuyi inside.
Shan Wu led Tu Li and his group into the somewhat crooked hall with a swagger. He pointed to the furs hanging on the wall and said, "Old Tu, look, I used to skin animals back in Canglan. Now that I think about it, I was truly born to be a butcher!"
Once inside the hall and settled down, Shan Wu took off the letter hanging around his neck and handed it to A Miao who came to greet him, saying, "My Lord, this is a letter that Ji Rongxian asked me to deliver to you. Tu Lao and the others were sent by Ji Rongxian to act as henchmen and thugs for the Canglan Mountains and Waterways."
As he spoke, he looked around and asked, "My Lord, where are my two brothers? Why aren't they with me?"
As Yinpan read Ji Rongming's words on the black wood, he saw that it not only explained the origin and use of the Great Sage Tuli, but also provided a clear and fair business plan for the Canglan Mountains and waterways. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked up at Shan Wu and said, "Canglan has been plagued by constant strife for years, and both the left and right sides of the mountain have gone to garrison the fortresses."
He then looked at the Great Sage Tu Li, who struck fear into the hearts of all dragons in the Nine Provinces, and said, “You two have come from afar and must be tired from your journey. Let me prepare wine and a feast to wash away your fatigue.”
Yinpan instructed Amu to prepare some wine and water in the palace and then summoned the prefect to discuss matters together.
After Amu finished reading Ji Rong's advice concerning the economy, Yinpan laughed and said, "Look at this, Lord Ji has only been a guest in my Canglan Mountains and Rivers for a few years. He has a good opportunity and sent a letter back. This shows that treating the people well will surely bring rewards."
"Following the ideas outlined here, each of you should draft your own set of rules as soon as possible!"
Then He said, "Shanba, Kuangfeng, Yuchou, why don't you come out and pay your respects to the Great Sage Tuli?"
He looked at the free henchman Tu Li and said enthusiastically, "Great Sage, they are the prefects of the area where the Canglan Mountains and rivers meet the Buzhou and Danzhou."
These three locations are remote, populated by diverse cultivators, and far from the Central Plains; therefore, we entrust them to the Great Sage for protection.
Tu Li opened his blood-red maw and smiled very amiably: "Don't worry, Lord Aogu, if any cultivators in these three places dare to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, I will definitely tear them to pieces."
However, the battlefront is not short, and at that time, the capable cultivators under the Divine Lord will need to extract the essence of the blood and qi obtained in battle and hand it over to the Youqiong Demon Emperor to take back.
As for the rest of the miscellaneous tasks, the Divine Lord's retinue can handle them themselves.
Upon hearing this, the silver plate felt reassured. It opened its mouth wide and laughed, "Great Sage, rest assured, the waters and veins of the Canglan Mountains will deliver the goods to you as promised."
The two silver dragons looked at each other and felt that the dragon in front of them was indeed of true dragon blood, very generous. They had really made a fortune this time. They toasted each other with wine and then thanked Ji Rong in their hearts.
Qingpingzi attained a new Dao, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the mountains to undergo tremendous changes.
Unlike the other cultivators who fled in panic, Jiao Jue, Feng Qing, Ji Zhuang, and Gu Qingqing stood outside the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, helplessly watching the Danxue Mountains rise and crumble little by little.
Rocks tumbled down the mountain and floods surged, plunging the entire Danxue Mountains into chaos.
As Jiao Jue watched the magnificent temple in front of him crumble, and heard the myriad laws of immortality celebrating the new life of heaven and earth, he lost even the will to repair the temple.
Jiao Jue no longer squinted; He stared at Feng Qing with his lantern-sized eyes and said, "The temple is about to collapse, which shows that my time as a god-king is coming to an end. What should we do now?"
The five-colored fox, Feng Qing, tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said coldly, "The divine path is about to collapse. You should go to Lord Xi to get some benefits. We'll stay home and pack our belongings."
"After that, we'll go and seek refuge with Ji Rong, and try to relinquish all the power you hold over to her."
Ji Zhuang, who was usually quiet and didn't talk much, spoke up: "We can leave, but what about them?"
Upon hearing Ji Zhuang's words, Gu Qingqing hurriedly said, "Yes, brother, what will happen to them if we leave? If we just go like this, Ji Rong might laugh at us."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue lowered his gaze slightly, and then took out all the treasures stored in his belly, piling them into a large heap, and said: "Fox, we have to go to the Jade Void Mountain Range later. This mountain range is severely damaged, and even if I exhaust my source energy, I cannot repair it."
I'm going to Guangyang Palace now. You and Ji Zhuang, have Zhan Shi, Tang Ye, and Qing Tiao assist you in gathering the remaining cultivators from the mountains to collect treasures and build roads and bridges.
He pointed to the treasures scattered on the ground and said, “Don’t keep these. Give them all to them. Afterwards, we will go and eat Ji Rong’s food.”
After quickly tidying himself up, Jiao Jue flew towards the Guangyang Mountains despite the strange changes in the world.
As the saying goes, where there is joy, there must also be sorrow.
Unlike the vibrant, upward-reaching scenery of the Canglan Mountains and waterways.
In the Guangyang Mountains, which had suddenly risen tens of thousands of feet and even made the Guangyang Palace slightly tilted, the face of the Lord of the Sun was unusually red and black. He no longer sat high on his divine throne, but paced back and forth in the hall. His anxious mood spread along with the heat around him, and every now and then a spark would burst out.
