Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 66 Distribution Plan
In the brightly lit hall of the Beast Taming Pavilion, a man named Yang and another man sat opposite each other, each holding a beautiful woman in his arms, drinking and chatting.

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman dressed in the uniform of the Beast Tamer Sect walked in quickly. "Junior Brother Yang, I just heard someone report that Junior Sister Wang has left this pavilion."

The man surnamed Yang's expression suddenly changed. He pushed the woman away and stood up suddenly: "Where did she go?"

"I don't know. I just saw her walking west."

The man didn't bother to greet the person sitting opposite him. He just got up and walked away. He left the Beast Taming Pavilion at a rapid pace and arrived at the bluestone street. He glanced around and walked towards the management office.

His original plan was to go to the market management office to gather manpower and inquire about where the woman had gone. As he was walking, he saw the woman coming towards him.

"Junior Sister Wang, why are you still out so late? You didn't even say hello to us. My uncle told me to take good care of you. If anything happens, I can't bear the consequences!"

"I think the Jade Fragrance Pills I bought this afternoon are quite good. I plan to take some back to the mountain gate to give to my senior sisters and junior sisters. Senior Brother Yang, there's no need to make such a fuss. This is the market town, it's very safe."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier and I would have sent someone to buy it? Why did Junior Sister Wang have to go all the way here in person?"

The two returned to the Beast Taming Pavilion together. Seeing that she had returned to the courtyard, the man immediately turned around and left the shop, came to the Hunyuan Pavilion, and strode in.

"Fellow Daoist, you are here again. What do you need?" Song Xian saw the woman leaving and the man came again, so he quickly walked up to him.

"Do you know who I am?" The man asked proudly, his head held high and chest puffed out, completely changing his polite and elegant demeanor from the afternoon.

Seeing that the man had ill intentions, Song Xian wondered if he felt that the thirty Yuxiang Pills the woman had bought were too expensive and that he had been ripped off, so he came to ask for an explanation.

"I don't know, may I ask your name, fellow Taoist?"

The man said with an arrogant look, "I am Yang Yude, my uncle is Yang Jinzhang."

Song Xian was startled. He had long suspected that this couple were not ordinary, the son and daughter of a wealthy family. He had never imagined that they were the direct descendants of Yang Jinzhang. Yang Jinzhang was the little bully of Bianxi City. Wouldn't it be tantamount to seeking death to offend him? Seeing the man's unfriendly expression, Song Xian was already prepared to refund the money or even compensate him.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yang from the Beast Taming Sect. I'm so ignorant that I didn't even recognize him. Just now, that fellow Daoist from your sect bought thirty Jade Fragrance Pills. She insisted on buying them. I didn't deceive her. If you feel it's inappropriate, you can refund her."

"Bullshit!" Yang Yude cursed without mercy, "Who cares about you?"

Song Xian was insulted in front of him, which made him feel awkward, but he couldn't get angry. He could only swallow his anger and said, "What instructions do you have, my shop will do as you say."

Yang Yude glanced at the woman next to him and said, "Let her leave. I have something to ask you."

Song Xian quickly waved his hand and asked him to leave.

"After Junior Sister Wang entered your shop, besides buying that thing, did she ask anything else? Tell me the truth. If you conceal even a single word, I'll kill you without a burial place."

"No. When she came in, she first asked how long the fragrance of this medicine would last..."

Song Xian repeated the conversation between the two.

"that's it?"

"Yes."

"Don't go out and talk nonsense when I ask you today."

"I understand. I will never reveal a word to anyone." Song Xian saw her expression and tone, and it seemed that she was not the flower-guarding woman he had thought of before. The relationship between the two parties seemed to be quite complicated, and he inexplicably had a sense of spy war.

"Master, what did he say? He looked a little strange." After the man left, Zhang Ningyuan came up and asked.

"This man is Yang Jinzhang's nephew, Yang Yude. He came to inquire about the woman's situation. It seems that their relationship is quite complicated. We don't need to care about other people's internal affairs. Brother Ningyuan, you must go to the mountain gate immediately and find Brother Wenyuan, Brother Zixiang, and Brother Lu Yuan. I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Zhang Ningyuan responded and left.

…………

The sky was clear and cloudless, and under the scorching sun, layers of heat waves were visibly rising from the ground.

In the distance, a camel caravan was moving slowly. When they reached the lake, everyone got off the camels. Some of the big men jumped for joy, threw off their clothes, and jumped into the lake with their bare chests.

More than a dozen camels lined up by the lake, lying on the edge, gulping down the water.

"Next time we encounter this kind of weather, we should take a break! Don't go out again. It's so hot that it's killing me." A man squatted by the lake, filled his kettle with water, and complained.

"Stop talking nonsense! I paid hundreds of spirit stones every year for the pass. I have to come more often, otherwise I won't even make back my money." The leading man squatted by the lake, cupping his hands in the water and rubbing his face. He looked up and asked in surprise, "Why is there a plaque there? I don't remember it being there when I was there! What does it say?"

Another man stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's a shop called Hunyuan Pavilion, on the corner of the third street in the Nanyuan Valley market in Bianxia Town. They have a product called Yuxiang Dan, and the words are quite interesting." "A century-old miraculous medicine, a spiritual object grown by nature, painstakingly crafted by a master, its fragrance will last forever."

"Who says beauty has a short life? A graceful beauty has her own fragrance."

"Love lasts forever, like a fragrant elixir." "A beautiful woman's body is fragrant, and her lover is always by her side."

"Swallow a grain of fragrant jade, and butterflies and bees will come from thousands of miles away."

"It is more fragrant than osmanthus and orchid, and surpasses the fragrance of other flowers. There is only one in the world like it, the Yuxiangdan."

"If you love her, buy her Yuxiangdan."

The leading man walked forward, took a look, and shook his head. "These damn unscrupulous shops even put up signs here. Hunyuan Pavilion Jade Fragrance Pills? Have you heard of them?"

"No. It's probably a shop owned by a faction from a nearby city. They were so smart as to put up a shop sign here."

"Next time I go to the Nanyuan Valley Market, I'll stop by and take a look. It's so mysterious, what on earth is this Yuxiang Pill?"

"I don't know. It's a rare medicine made over a hundred years ago. It should be something quite valuable!"

"These bastards, we work so hard to earn such a little money, and they lie in the shop, making a fortune every day, and even bring the name of their shop here." The leading man was indignant. He pulled up the wooden sign, stomped on it several times, and tore it into pieces.

…………

In the Hunyuan Pavilion shop, inside the room, Song Xian and Zhong Wenyuan sat opposite each other.

"Master, what is it that you want us to tell you?" Zhong Wenyuan asked.

Song Xian said, "Yesterday we sold thirty Jade Fragrance Pills in one go. Although it's not much, it's enough to prove that our previous path was correct. As long as we persevere, I believe there will be a bright future."

"We've invited Senior Brother Wenyuan here this time to first clarify our respective responsibilities and how to distribute profits. After all, our shop has already started to generate profits. If we don't clarify this now, there might be disagreements in the future."

"As I said last time, the shops themselves need to take a portion of the profits, firstly to keep the shops running, and secondly to motivate the enthusiasm of the shop staff."

"My plan is that the shops will take half of the profits. That means for every 100 spirit stones sold, they will take 5."

"Junior Brother Qi, as the person in charge of alchemy, will also receive a 50% commission."

"This is a 10% profit. Apart from the cost of refining the Jade Fragrance Pill, the rest will all go to the sect."

"At the end of the year, we will distribute it to everyone in the form of dividends. Of course, not all of it will be distributed. 50% of the profit will be kept as the sect's assets, and the rest will be distributed according to the 2224 method."

"I'll take 20%, Senior Brother Zixiang and Senior Brother Wenyuan will take 10%, and the other disciples of the sect will take 20%."

"What do you think, Brother Wenyuan?"

Zhong Wenyuan frowned. He hadn't thought of this before, but now that Song Xian mentioned it, he was completely bewildered by the complicated distribution plan. He couldn't figure it out for a moment: "Is this... necessary to make it so complicated?"

"Of course, the distribution of benefits must be detailed. This is just a preliminary plan, and we will make more detailed divisions and adjustments later. Profit dividends are not like salaries, and we can't eat from the same pot. If everyone gets the same dividends, people like Junior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Ning Yuan who are mainly responsible for alchemy and sales will definitely slack off. They play a greater role, so of course they should get more profits."

"Let me think about it carefully. I'm confused and have no idea what to do right now. Besides, I need to show this plan to Zixiang and other fellow apprentices."

"Okay, there's no rush. Besides, I have two things I want you to take care of right away."

"Master, please speak."

"I've drawn a few diagrams here. Have the craftsmen you recruit produce them in large quantities according to the diagrams. One is a paper bag, and the other is a large wooden box to hold the Jade Fragrance Pills. If someone wants to make a large purchase, like yesterday afternoon, when they wanted dozens of Jade Fragrance Pills at once, we can't just hold them one by one in our hands and put them in a pile and hand them over."

"Okay, I understand. I'll have the craftsmen make it right away."

"One more thing. Go to the Muhe Grassland, to Carissa's hometown, and buy some aged Panlong incense. If we want to go the high-end route, we must make high-quality elixirs."

"Go to Carissa's hometown? I don't know the place, and I can't tell the age of Panlong incense."

"That's easy. I'll have Junior Sister Carissa go with you. The age of the Panlong incense directly affects the quality of the Jade Fragrance Pill. Junior Sister Carissa has experience and knows what kind of Panlong incense meets the requirements."

"Since we're going to Muhe Grassland, why not just take a team there and buy some monster materials to sell."

"No, traveling with the camel caravan takes a long time, and we won't earn much on a round trip. We need to seize the time and spread the word about the Jade Fragrance Pill as soon as possible. You can travel more quickly by magic weapon, so you can stay in Junior Sister Carissa's hometown for a while and learn from her how to distinguish the age of Panlong Incense. This task will be handed over to our disciples in the future. Carissa's main task is to assist Junior Brother Qi in refining the pill."
