Chapter 426: Gathering and Delegating Power, Arriving at Dayan

Li Yuanjie considered his words carefully.

"When Manager Lu was running the Lin's Chamber of Commerce, he proposed a partnership plan in order to expand the scale of our industry and open up markets outside the Lujiang River Basin in western Shandong."

"It was booming at the beginning, and in the blink of an eye, the brand of Lin's Chamber of Commerce blossomed all over Luxi, quickly covering all the immortal cities and markets."

"It's just that due to the departure of old leader Yang and the greed and obstruction of external forces, a group of deadbeats appeared and treated us like suckers."

"The reason why we are unable to collect bad debts is only because we don't have the time and ability to do so, not because we don't have the ability."

“So it’s entirely possible to change the approach and make some changes to the original plan.”

"How do you want to change it?"

Although Lin Shan had his own ideas in mind, he was interested in hearing his thoughts.

If it works, then give it a try. If it doesn't work, then I'll do it myself before I leave and teach those guys a lesson.

Although it is not a rule to blame everyone, it is still okay to pick out a few troublemakers and give them a good beating.

Now that the Lujiang League is so powerful, other forces in western Shandong only dare to make trouble secretly and it is impossible for them to openly oppose them.

Li Yuanjie naturally understood what the leader meant. As a subordinate, he must find ways to share the leader's worries. If the leader had to take care of everything, then there would be no point in keeping a group of people.

"We can add a level of leverage between Xun Gu Sect and the partner chamber of commerce, set up distribution agencies, and return power to the Lujiang League."

"The Lin's Chamber of Commerce has now become the first chamber of commerce directly under the Lujiang League. If we want to expand and become stronger, we can completely delegate power to other forces in the league."

"Divide the western Shandong region outside the Lujiang River basin into several areas and entrust each member with custody. All the chambers of commerce in those areas will be assigned to their subordinates."

"They can also take a cut of the profits every quarter and every year, which can motivate them. If they default on their debts, it will be shared by everyone."

"At that time, hundreds of members of the alliance, big and small, spontaneously went out to collect debts. I dare to ask how those deadbeats responded?"

To put it more clearly, this move is equivalent to setting up external regional managers, investing with capital, and enticing them with benefits to let them take over debt collection on behalf of the headquarters.

Originally, Xun Gu Sect was unable to handle the huge number of joint ventures and could hardly liquidate all the stores one by one, and it was simply impossible to manage them.

But if we add all the members of the Lujiang League and let them spread out and cast their nets one by one, it would be easy to recoup the costs and profits.

It will only distribute some benefits, but it will also save a lot of effort and eliminate resistance from all over, which will greatly promote and popularize future development.

In order to expand their own industries, these tiered agents must also expand after collecting the debts. The larger the territory and the more stores there are, the more they will get.

This is the benefit of the Lin Chamber of Commerce being assigned to the Lujiang League.

"Master, what Hall Master Li said is correct. I think we can give it a try."

"My subordinates also think it's feasible."

Lu Xiuming and Wu Hanqiao voiced their support. They also believed that this would produce results faster and save their own staff from having to visit each customer one by one, which would be troublesome and tiring.

It’s more comfortable to find someone to run errands for you.

"Well, let's make it like this for now. You guys will be fully responsible. If you have any difficulties or needs, go to the Xianyin Pond to find Elder Hei Ku. He will provide you with support."

Lin Shan didn't interfere and just let his subordinates make the arrangements. He didn't have time to worry about this now.

"I'm going on a long journey soon and I don't know when I'll be back. You guys should take care of Tianfu Mountain by yourselves. Please think twice before doing anything."

For the State of Lu, these people who came from small academies were actually more familiar with the local rules and did not have to worry about any major incidents.

When Master Zhankong stabilizes his state of mind and comes out of retreat, the Xun Gu Sect will be even more solid.

The three people below bowed and said yes.

The leader has been a hands-off boss for so long that they have become accustomed to it.

However, before leaving, Lin Shan thought of one more thing. This matter was quite important and he couldn't be careless!
"The secret treasure of True Lord Yuxing".

If it wasn't for the fact that his life magic weapon required a nurturing period and he had to get this out first, then he might really have to go to the Demonic Kingdom to figure out the opening time first!
Fortunately, after he mentioned this matter, Wu Hanqiao and Li Yuanjie secretly investigated it for many years, collected a lot of intelligence and analyzed it, and then gave a relatively accurate response.

"Master, over the years, we have secretly visited the Chu and Jin states around the Swallowing Star Mountains, checked ancient books and historical materials, and also read the county annals of the local mortal county offices, as well as folk rumors."

"Every once in a while, strange phenomena occur on the north side of the Star Devouring Mountains. The sky turns upside down, the stars shift, the Milky Way rolls back, and everything is silent. These phenomena are as short as a flash in the pan. They must be caused by the unearthing of our target."

"It should be about fifty years before True Lord Yuxing's secret treasure is opened!"

"To be more specific, a strange phenomenon happened seven years ago, and the Star Devouring Gate also happened to move strangely at that time, so the next one should be fifty-three years later!"

"Fifty-three years. In other words, the cycle is one sixty-year cycle."

Lin Shan touched his chin and felt relieved. From this perspective, it would be more than enough to go back to the Song Dynasty and it would be completely in time.

Wu Hanqiao and Li Yuanjie are really talented. They have even searched for clues about the mortal world on the side of the Demonic Kingdom. They are very meticulous.

What's more, there are still "Guo State survivors" left there, and news can be sent to Li Yuanjie continuously, so he will not be completely in the dark.

However, the matter is of great importance, and these investigations and scrutiny alone do not seem to be authoritative enough.

"Have you specifically researched this cycle?"

Wu Hanqiao responded:
"Master, just a few months ago, my intelligence brother from the Jingyang Academy, who was in seclusion in the central part of Lu, finally wrote me a reply."

"In ancient books and ancient sayings, the word 'Yu' means wealth and nobility, corresponding to the Purple Star in the sky, which represents the purple air coming from the east and elegance and luxury."

"So the skills of Master Yuxing are most likely based on the Purple Star in the sky. The cycle of the star power projected from the Purple Star to the lower world is exactly one sixty years, so the secret treasure of Yuxing should be almost accurate!"

"Oh?"

Lin Shan was moved. He didn't expect Wu Hanqiao to be so powerful that he even found out the natal star of Master Yuxing.

But, Jingyang Academy Intelligence Senior Brother?
this person
He seemed to have heard it several times.
He seems to be omnipotent and knows everything, but the key is that he is not tight-lipped and never says anything. He just blurts out whatever he knows. How could such a weirdo come out of Jingyang Academy?
Wu Hanqiao was still talking non-stop:
"My intelligence senior and I have a close relationship. We drank 300 cups of wine together in the academy, and slept for several days in the mountain top. We are like brothers in heaven and earth, and we are covered with ice and snow. He will definitely not lie to me!"

"And in the astrology circle, Zichen Star Lord is also one of the 180,000 gods in the Star Palace."

"The Purple Star belongs to the seat of the Great Emperor of the Purple Stars in the Central Sky, under the command of the Emperor Zhentian Zhenwu Lingyingyousheng, one of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, under the command of the Xuanming Wenqu Star Lord, and in the Talented Eight Stars Region." "Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Shan felt a headache and stopped him immediately, preventing him from continuing to talk about irrelevant things. The origin was not important for the time being, the secret treasure of Master Yuxing was the key point.

"Since there are still more than 50 years to go, I will probably be able to come back earlier. You should keep a close eye on the news from the Star Devouring Sect and continue to collect relevant clues."

Now that I have a general idea in my mind, I can rest assured for the time being.

The Star-Swallowing Gate can be kept for now. There is no need to go there too early and alert the enemy. You can keep it for yourself to explore the way later.

And more than fifty years later, his 'good brother' Young Master Jiuyou might have already escaped from the predicament. Given his character, he would definitely use the power and connections left by Jiuyou Sect to lay out the secret treasures of Yuxing, and by then, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

He must improve his strength as much as possible and maintain a level of bravery and advancement. Otherwise, without the help of the Kuihu Demon King in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, it would not be easy to win the victory there alone.

While you are making progress, others are also making progress. Don't underestimate the heroes in the world.

Practicing Buddhism is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you will move backward!

After Lin Shan explained everything here, he went to the Formation Hall to visit Master Zhan Kong. The two chatted for a while, and then he stopped disturbing him from consolidating his realm.

The colorful rainbow lights moved all the way south, startling flocks of birds along the way.

Lin Shan usually uses soul power when traveling, and magic power is used to fight against the enemy. Also, wind, thunder and rainbow light can easily expose one's own attributes, while the seven-color rainbow light can cover them up.

He did not go to Xianyin Pool on purpose, but left Lu without looking back, and rushed to Song Dynasty day and night despite wind and rain.

The states of Lu and Song were separated by a distance of one million miles.

There are countless mountains, canyons, gullies, snow-capped mountains and meadows, and deserts along the way. The dangers are innumerable and it is impossible to predict when an accident will occur.

The last time he came over from the Song Dynasty, it took him a year and a half. That was because he was escorted by the Yuanying master Huang Xianshi throughout the journey and they rode on the same boat together, bringing him, Protector Yan, Luanchun, and a group of demon disciples over.

This time I was walking alone, and only then did I realize how difficult and bumpy the journey was.

Fortunately, he is now a Jindan-stage cultivator and has the initial ability to travel long distances. He comes and goes like the wind and travels across the world. There is nothing that can stop him.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, low- and middle-level cultivators usually travel around their own country, and those who can travel across borders are basically cultivators starting from the Jindan stage.

Needless to say, those in the Qi training stage are as fragile as paper, and going to unfamiliar and dangerous places is simply seeking death.

Although it is reasonable that you can fly in the sky with flying instruments during the Foundation Establishment Period, but with your limited skills, you are nothing but a piece of cake in the eyes of those raptors and monsters!

Only when one starts to enter the Jindan stage can one fly on a rainbow. Then the speed will be greatly increased, and the altitude can also be increased. The ability to resist the strong winds in the sky will be enhanced, and the safety factor will be greatly increased.

As for the Nascent Soul stage, the top level of combat power, you can travel freely in this world. As long as you don’t act recklessly, you can go wherever you want. No one will easily provoke you. Even the demon kings in the Nascent Soul stage will give you some courtesy when they see you.

Of course, things are not absolute.

Some low-level monks who have ambition, perseverance, dreams, or rich experience are not incapable of traveling far, let alone those who are lucky.

Lin Shan was very puzzled. How did the man from Xiongshan manage to cross thousands of mountains and rivers?
Ms. Jinglian did not come with him!

However, considering that this guy is in the foundation-building stage, he carries strange purple tentacles. Those tentacles can even knock down the Rongjin ancestor of the Dai family who is in the late Jindan stage. It is quite awesome.

However, after the great change in Wangyue City that day, this person disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.

Along the way, because he was in a hurry, he did not stop for long to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers.

When the soul power is used up, he will change to a flying magic weapon and sit in it to restore the soul power. After recovery, he will put away the magic weapon and continue on his journey. The wind and thunder magic power will be kept at its peak to deal with unexpected situations.

We flew at full speed, taking detours when we encountered accidents occasionally, avoiding all troubles as much as possible, making circles and heading south.

It took only half a year to cross an area of ​​one million miles and arrive at the northern neighbor, the Great Yan Kingdom, which was only one country away from the Great Song Dynasty.

Here he unconsciously slowed down.

Because you can often see monks on the road every hundred miles, and it seems that their target is southwest.

Lin Shan grabbed a cultivator from the evil sect and asked him what was going on.

This demonic monk was on his way in a hurry when he was suddenly stopped by someone. He was almost scared and was about to take out his magic weapon to defend himself, but he found that the person was riding a rainbow under his feet and it turned out to be a Jindan Zhenren!
I was almost scared to death.

"Senior, please spare my life! I am willing to give away all my wealth and possessions, and please let me live!"

People in the magic world are smart and honest. They never play tricks. They start by spending money to avoid disasters and buy lives. Their proficiency is heartbreaking.

"I'm not interested in your junk. Tell me why so many of you came over here?"

Lin Shan used his soul power to cover his face and figure, thinking that even this person who was at the Foundation Establishment stage would not be able to see through him and would not expose his whereabouts.

The demon monk breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this real man was not robbing or killing, but was merely asking questions.

Answer the other person's question quickly.

"Report to the Immortal, the magic cultivators of our Great Yan Kingdom have recently received a call for recruitment from the Huangquan Sect, the top magic sect in our country."

"In the southwest of Great Yan, this sect and the Qianyun Pavilion in the Great Song are fighting again!"

"It is precisely because of the opportunities that arise during the war. Let's not talk about exchanging military merits for contributions. Contributions can be exchanged for items from large sects that are not available on the market."

“Even if you can’t get any military merit, hiding outside the battlefield, absorbing some evil spirits, collecting some ghosts, performing rituals to refine corpses, and collecting some blood are all treasures that demon cultivators can only encounter.”

"It is said that there was quite a stir this time, and many of my peers ran over to join in the fun. I couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to go over and try to see if I could get rich overnight."

After hearing this, Lin Shan's face turned strange.

Dayan is a demonic country that has been at odds with the Song Dynasty for a long time. The two countries share a wide border and often have frictions, but they have never been on such a large scale.

And if I remember correctly, when the Huangquan Sect went south, it also supported the three sects of the Demonic Path in their expedition to the inland of the Song Dynasty, but later they changed their minds and withdrew.

Now the three sects of the devil have been wiped out, and the forces of the Song Dynasty have also withdrawn and begun to gradually recover their vitality.

Why are you sending troops at this time?
