Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 274 Grassroots Tiger Brother

The battle in Pingmo Mountain was in full swing. The death of the great demon Qingque made the remaining great demons Ningyue fully alert.

They also formed a closer mutual aid alliance, abandoned their bases, gathered for defense, and won over some big monsters to form an alliance.

For a while, the Demon Slaying Division was unable to achieve more results.

The Demon Slayer Division also took advantage of the situation to change to a more aggressive style of warfare and built a camp directly on the Insect Snake Mountain.

Wantongfang established two fast transmission nodes here, and a large number of civil engineering monks began to build houses.

Dense arrays were set up nearby.

It looks like it's ready to take root here.

Senior Brother Wu said that this is the art of war: to attack like fire and to remain motionless like a mountain.

Up to this point, the White Tiger Demon was very calm, and Wu Zhiqing was also moving forward steadily.

Only Chen Jing boasted that he could slay the White Tiger monster in a month, but in the end he couldn't make any progress. As the month was almost up, everyone was busy digging trenches and building high walls, and it was obvious that his plan of pretending to be cool was going to fail.

it's fine.

By then, it will definitely be Gu Xingqiu who remembered it wrong.

How could he fail in pretending?

……

In the Pingmo Mountain.

The place where the White Tiger Monster lurked was originally nameless, but because of its location, it was called Tiger Mountain.

The tiger sits on the mountain.

As one of the leaders of the faction in this war, he did not look like he was going to fight at all.

He just lay on the top of the mountain, his tiger eyes fixed on the altar not far away.

beside.

A blurry figure is saying something.

"Master Baihu... Elder Cao of the White Bone Sect has surrendered and is willing to hand over the entire Black Sand Mansion to us for our disposal!"

"What do you think?"

Baihu's voice rang in Liu Chang's heart.

Liu Chang's eyes turned and he said, "It depends on what Lord White Tiger's purpose is. If he wants to avenge the previous shame and avenge Qingque, then he might as well separate a part of the Black Sand Mansion and contact other great monsters to teach An Ning Society a lesson."

"Hmm." Baihu's voice was noncommittal.

"Lord Baihu...is this strategy inappropriate?" Liu Chang asked.

"Not really... Let's not talk about this, Liu Chang, you have been in my service for many years."

Baihu's voice was a little melancholy.

"It's been seven hundred years!"

"Seven hundred years, it's been so long... I still remember that at that time, I was just an ordinary monster in the mountains. I didn't even have spiritual intelligence, and I only had a little talent for cultivation. You were the first person I ate. After eating you, I was favored by the heavens, and I finally became enlightened..."

"...Seven hundred years ago, I was just an abandoned child from a poor family. If it weren't for Lord White Tiger, how could I have lived for seven hundred years?"

Liu Chang didn't know why Lord Baihu suddenly recalled the past, and he felt a little emotional at this time.

Seven hundred years ago, the environment in the Southern Wilderness was better than it is now. There were even dynasties, imperial examinations, and scholarly families.

He is a man of books.

Unfortunately, the dynasty collapsed and the world was in chaos. He offended someone and was driven out of the house.

While walking on a mountain road at night, a shocking roar suddenly sounded, and a huge tiger appeared in front of us.

He panicked, turned around and ran, but everything went dark before his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become a tiger's lackey.

After becoming a tiger's accomplice, Liu Chang also went through a lot of inner struggles.

But in the end, he chose to help Baihu and survive together.

At that time, there were many monsters and ghosts in the mountains, and the white tiger was just an inconspicuous one among them. In the chaos, even the monsters were in danger of their own death.

But with the help of human wisdom, Baihu eventually rose from the grassroots and climbed to his current position step by step.

among them.

The exchange of common people with the White Bone Sect was actually done by Liu Chang. This provided Baihu with stable income, allowing him to stand out from the crowd of Ningyue monsters and become the Dharma-image monster he is today.

Before I knew it...it's been seven hundred years?

Liu Chang couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

"My life is coming to an end."

Suddenly, Baihu said this.

"what?!"

Liu Chang was shocked. "This, this, is impossible, how can..."

However, looking at Baihu, whose eyes revealed a hint of old age, he suddenly realized...

The other party is really old.

Bai Hu sighed, "Do you remember when we went deep into the mountains to look for the demon king?"

"Remember……"

Liu Chang's voice dropped.

At that time, Baihu had just become a great demon in the form of Dharma and was at the peak of his power. He wanted to find the real demon clan, find an organization and a way to continue.

However, what they encountered was naked humiliation.

"Where did you come from, you beast? Do you think that by eating a few people and gaining some opportunities, you can enter the Ancestral God Mountain? Get out of here immediately. If I smell the foul smell on you again, I will make you die!"

Didn't even hear a sound.

Then he saw it.

On the magnificent mountain with rich spiritual energy, a pair of ruthless and cold eyes were staring at him.

An unprecedented foreboding of death loomed in my heart.

Die, die!
He was so frightened that he fled down the mountain in panic.

"Hmph, you white-haired beast, after you come down the mountain, you will guard the gate for a thousand years. If you are not dead, I will take you in as a servant."

The voice sounded again.

But from then on, the white tiger never went into the mountains again.

"Zushen Mountain is too much of a bully."

Liu Chang gritted his teeth.

After Baihu gained power, he immediately took advantage of the situation to fight back, brutally killing all those who had bullied and looked down on him.

But I didn’t expect... Damn, the demon race is also divided into different levels.

Even if an ordinary monster becomes a demon after awakening, it is still a beast in front of those orthodox demons.

This is also the reason why Baihu does not regard the subordinates of the great demon Qingque as demons at all, and simply uses them as butt wipes.

In fact, it was the demon tribes like the Green Bird Demon who secretly did not regard him as a demon.

"Good kill... Hehe, you did everything I wanted to do."

The White Tiger Demon looked into the distance.

there.

The Demon Slaying Division and the remaining Ningyue demon army faced off against each other.

He didn't care at all and even applauded.

Die, all of you die.

The more deaths the better.

"Liu Chang, you and I are where we are today thanks to the help of Heaven... Now, whether we can survive the test of life and death also depends on whether Heaven is willing to favor us once more."

The heavy voice of the White Tiger Demon sounded.

His eyes were focused on the altar in front of him again. It seemed as if the will of heaven was favoring him...

'An Ning Hui' 'Chen Jing' 'Dao Zhong' 'Important' 'Completion'

……

Chen Jing's war goal has been initially achieved, and he is not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle to drive away the white tiger monster in the mountain. It is better to let the other side continue to gather more small monsters.

He felt that the other party was just a weakling, so he had to bully him as much as possible.

After the front line of Insect Snake Mountain is built, the cost of the army's expedition can be greatly reduced. By then, the army will be in charge, the battle group will dig for gold, and there will be monsters everywhere, killing them efficiently.

It is not impossible to make a profit simply by killing monsters.

There is a way to fight a major battle, and there is a way to fight a confrontation. The key is to be flexible and adaptable.

Chen Jing thought about it.

This battle.

Internally, it has driven economic development, stimulated innovation in Taoism, and created a battle group model...

Externally, the White Bone Sect showed a tendency to cooperate and began to spread the influence of the An Ning Society towards the core areas of the White Bone Sect.

In the past, when Chen Jing wanted to expand, he needed to take core industries such as the Agricultural Promotion Institute and the Weaving Institute abroad.

Of course it is not necessary now.

Nowadays, all major departments and institutions, the pillar industries of the An Ning Society, only need to produce peacefully on their own territory.

Generally, only two types of production are done.

First, make products with the lowest profit but the largest output.

For example, the Queen of Peiyuan Rice.

Second, the profits are unknown and the new products with the highest technological content are developed.

The former is to protect the ecology of the lower class. If businessmen are allowed to control the four most common industries of food, clothing, housing and transportation, if one is not careful, the poor lower class may easily go without food to eat and clothes to wear.

It’s not that we will regress to the primitive age, but there is a high probability that we will be led by the nose and slaves for the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation for our entire lives.

The core task of all major bureaus and offices is still to assume such a bottom-line responsibility and not let the situation fall to that point.

But that's it.

If you want to live a better life, the major bureaus are not actually the best options.

After all, those who joined the Production Bureau were just ordinary people who had become monks not long ago.

Becoming a monk and mastering basic skills in the Agricultural Promotion Institute is the starting point. The next step is to enter a department in a specific industry based on your own conditions.

Finally, you can consider "graduation".

You can stay or join the chamber of commerce or other organizations.

The welfare benefits of major bureaus and offices are very good, but the upper limit is obvious at a glance.

People with talent like Ye Fan would switch jobs as soon as they get the chance. They would rather risk their lives to join the Demon Slaying Division to realize their talents than waste time in the Agricultural Promotion Office.

But not everyone is willing to go to the battlefield. It is the vast majority who are unwilling.

I want to make more money, or even get rich, but I don’t want to risk my life…

Organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce came into being.

Most of their businesses are those with higher added value, and coincidentally, under Chen Jing's deliberate control, this type of business is almost completely vacant and left for them to fill.

Now that Chen Jing wants to expand, the businessman has taken on this role and is actively contacting the White Bone Sect.

The sword of expansion has two sharp edges. One is force, forcing everyone to sit down at the table and talk properly. The other is interest. The so-called uniting more people is actually tying more people to the chariot of one's own interests.

Tens of billions were invested.

How could Chen Jing let Bai Gu Dao take out the money so easily?

Although he was just a poor guy in his previous life and didn't understand any advanced financial methods, he still used Pinduoduo.

I give you 99.9 for free, and you only need 0.01 to withdraw the money.

As a result, in order to make up this 0.01, you gave up your circle of friends worth 100, and you still feel great after withdrawing .

Of course, most people cannot actually bring out the true value of this circle of friends that is worth ten thousand dollars.

The same is true for the White Bone Path.

Whether it is monks, common people, or land, the value in their hands is extremely low.

Therefore, after the trade route is opened, merchants can make back their capital with profit.

At the same time, they also tied the power of the White Bone Sect to the battleship of interests. In order to cash out the ten billion, they took the initiative to pay more. Having invested so much, the huge sunk cost will determine their future inclination.

All of this is actually no different from what the other two sects did to the Qingnang Sect, except that the Qingnang Sect consciously controls the way and method of taking bait, and focuses on building its own core competitiveness.

As one of the core competitive advantages, Chen Jing was protected by almost the entire sect.

The White Bone Road.

He ate with a gibberish, and before he had finished, he reached out for more.

I can only say it’s very good. It’s a blessing to be able to eat it.

……

Chen Jing leaned against the bookshelf next to him, watching Ying Huiyin handling affairs, and stuffed the hybrid watermelon full of spiritual power into his mouth.

"Now that we have bought Heisha Mansion, it will take some time to digest it. A lot of infrastructure needs to be invested in construction."

As Ying Huiyin spoke, he placed the jade tubes containing the recorded messages one by one.

Then he controlled the spirit beasts and birds, took the jade tube to the designated place, and handed it to the designated person.

Although there are now office methods such as telepathy, sound transmission, and water mirror projection spells for meetings, two physical traces must be kept on file in the workplace. This was Chen Jing's request to avoid any unclear issues.

The actual implementation is not very good, and too many people are still used to doing things based on personal relationships.

He has punished many times, but many people just accepted the punishment and refused to change. If we make a big fuss over such a small matter, we will be regarded as inhumane.

Then the response came and after a high-pressure punishment, they all behaved themselves.

Chen Jing always felt that this little sister just liked punishment, a strange habit... but it was good, he liked it.

"What's the problem? Are you short of money?"

Chen Jing scanned it with his spiritual sense.

Heisha Prefecture occupies twice the area of ​​Anning Prefecture, but has a pitifully small population. Such a large prefecture-level unit only has four counties under its jurisdiction, and the rest are larger towns.

As for the village... Anyway, the information provided by Bai Gu Dao doesn't match his own investigation, so he has to conduct a new census.

According to preliminary estimates, including Hu Town, the population of Heisha Prefecture should be barely two million.

"There is always a shortage of money. Where is the Chamber of Commerce that Senior Brother mentioned? Is he coming or not?"

Ying Huiyin couldn't help but complain.

"Every time I ask, they say it should be soon."

Chen Jing was also helpless.

You still have the nerve to call it Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce? Change the name, it’s shameful.

Now there is a steady stream of monster materials coming in from Pingmo Mountain. If he doesn't sell some to recover some of his losses, he'll want to withdraw.

"There is another problem... I only have 15% of my spiritual awareness left. After the Black Sand Mansion takes me in, I will be completely unable to do anything else."

"Well, that means our expansion to Black Sand Mansion is the limit."

"That's right, unless we find a suitable divine consciousness algorithm."

In fact, realm improvement can also solve the problem temporarily, but realm improvement is a result...because after these problems are solved, An Ning will be able to develop more broadly, which will be fed back into realm improvement.

After a moment of silence.

Ying Huiyin said: "You didn't consider handing over some of the spiritual consciousness computing capacity to the people below."

This can greatly relieve Chen Jing's pressure, but it obviously has its flaws. He will not be able to obtain first-hand data and mistakes may occur.

But in fact, he has already done so.

Chen Jing no longer manages Suizhou An Ning Club. It is now managed by Hua Qingxia. However, Hua Qingxia is not a good manager. Basically, her master sends people to assist in management.

It saves effort, but there are really many problems.

"I will appropriately hand over some unimportant parts to the lower levels."

Chen Jing said.

"Money, divine consciousness algorithm..."

He muttered to himself.

This is the biggest factor that is hindering my development today.
