Hong Kong General Assembly began to practice

So Li Moxie set himself another goal! Make money! Make a lot of money. He needed talents. Talents in business management.

In today's world, who can make the most money? First, women, and second, wealthy businessmen.

One loves beauty, the other is afraid of death. Li Moye plans to modify his own pill formula and then mass-produce pills. Beauty pills, health pills, qi-boosting pills and body-building pills are all the products that Li Moye wants to promote in this world.

Moreover, Li Moxie also planned to assemble his own armed forces in this world. However, it was too early for this.

He planned to make money first, and would slowly build up the armed forces after he became the leader.

"Brother! Don't cry. I'll go talk to my uncle first. You can go over and talk later. I also have some plans that should be able to solve the problem of talent shortage in Maoshan."

"Really? Junior Brother! Do you really have a solution?"

Hearing Li Moye say this, Shi Shaojian seemed to see hope. He quickly asked:

"Don't worry, senior brother. I've thought of it. I'm also a master of alchemy now. I can make some pills for ordinary people and sell them. I can use the money I earn to buy medicinal materials for cultivation and make pills, and provide some to my senior brothers and junior brothers. I plan to cultivate a group of heavenly masters through pills, and I think the plan is feasible."

"But Junior Brother, you will need to spend a lot of money to do this. I heard from my father that the medicinal materials used in the pills you gave are priceless."

"You don't have to worry about this, Senior Brother. The thing I lack the least now is money. When the time comes, I can make more money by producing and selling the pills."

Li Moye is indeed not short of money. He can exchange 1 merit point in the mall for 10 kilograms of gold. And it is also cheap to buy medicinal materials. When he becomes the headmaster, he will use the merit points to exchange for medicinal materials to refine pills for his disciples to improve their strength. The disciples will fight monsters for him to earn merit points. It is simply a perfect cycle.

After talking to Shi Shaojian, Li Moye also got up and went to his master's room. Now that things have come to this, it is better to solve it quickly.

Fearing that his uncle would get angry, Li Moye spent 2 merit points to buy some Qingxin Tea, so that his uncle could calm down first.

Li Moye came to the door of Master Uncle's room and knocked on the door. He heard Master Uncle say, "Please come in.

Just push the door open and go in.

Shi Jian, who was meditating and regulating his breathing, stood up when he saw that it was his beloved nephew. He saw that his nephew was holding a teapot in his hand.

And the aroma of tea coming from the teapot is so fragrant that I know it must be good tea.

I feel that my own nephew is filial. Unlike that unlucky kid Shi Shaojian who only makes things difficult for me every day.

Shi Jian saw Li Moye, his eyes were full of love. He asked:

"Nephew, do you have any questions about cultivation that you would like to ask me?"

Seeing his uncle smiling like he was his nephew, Li Moye judged in his heart

I'm in a good mood! I can talk!

"Uncle Master! It's nothing. I just want to talk to you about something! Please sit down. This is the Qingxin tea that your nephew made specially for you. I bought this Qingxin tea from an old man. This tea has the effect of calming the mind. We can drink it while we talk."

"My nephew is filial. Unlike Shao Jian, he always makes things difficult for me."

Li Moxie thought, you are right, he is here to trouble you again today. But he could only smile and say:

"Haha, uncle, you are joking. Senior brother is also very filial to you, but he is not good at words and expression."

"Nephew, you don't have to make excuses for my good-for-nothing son. If he were half as good as you, I, your uncle, would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Li Moye poured a cup of tea for Shi Jian. As soon as the tea soup was poured out, a fragrance of tea leaves wafted out. Shi Jian smelled it and couldn't help but praise:

"Nephew, your tea is truly special. I feel relaxed and happy even before I drink it and smell the flavor."

Li Moxie poured a cup and pushed it towards his uncle, saying:

"Uncle Master! How about you try this tea?"

Shi Jian picked up the tea and took a sip. A fresh fragrance instantly filled his mouth, and this fragrance went straight to his brain, making his brain instantly feel peaceful and calm. Moreover, Shi Jian found that his original mental fatigue was also relieved a little because of this fragrance.

"Great tea! I didn't expect this tea to be so magical. Not only can it calm people's minds, but it can also relieve mental fatigue. It's amazing!"

Li Moxie also tasted a small sip and couldn't help but sigh that the system's products were indeed all fine products. The effect of this tea was almost catching up with his own Qingshen Pill.

Li Moxie drank the tea leaves. The effect was surprisingly good. He could also gradually get to the point.

"Uncle Master! Look! This is what I think. Didn't you say that you would let me take over as the headmaster of Maoshan in the future? And I think that we are running out of talent in Maoshan now. This will be very disadvantageous for us to promote the Maoshan Sect in the future!"

Hearing his nephew say this, Shi Jian also sighed and said:

"My nephew is right. The current Maoshan is much worse than before. Unfortunately, the world is in chaos now. Many people would not think of becoming Taoist priests in Maoshan unless they have no other choice. And now Maoshan is getting worse with each generation. Alas~"

"Uncle Master! I think that if we at Maoshan want to continue to develop, the most important thing is not only talent, but money."

"Money? Nephew, you may not know that although our Maoshan has fallen into decline, its foundation is still there. Our Maoshan ancestral temple still has many industries. And there are some outer disciples managing them. Although many industries have been lost due to the current social situation, we are still not short of money."

"Uncle Master! You may not understand what I mean. We in Maoshan are not short of small money now, but we are short of big money!"

"Big money? What do you mean, nephew?"

"Uncle Master, although we have some wealth in Maoshan now, it is still not rich enough. Although our disciples are out there subduing demons and monsters and can make some money, most of them still live a hard life."

"The money we have is at most enough to satisfy our basic needs. Cultivation depends on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the spiritual energy is thin nowadays, and the progress of cultivation relying solely on spiritual energy is slow. Suppose a person starts practicing at the age of 9-10. If he has good talent, he can complete his training within 5 years. He will reach the peak of human master in 8 years, and enter the realm of earth master in 22 years. At most, he will be years old to open a door and accept disciples and make money with his skills. If his talent is not so good, it will take longer to get started. This time will continue to lengthen."

“而如今大部分家庭10岁就要开始帮忙干活，15岁就要出去赚钱。18~20岁就开始要成家立业。当道士实力差提前外出接货可能就直接把命搭上了，实力高需要的时间必定也长。等真的能赚到钱差不多也到了26~30岁左右。这个时候结婚生子很难。年轻的除非你有钱愿意嫁给你。年龄相仿的要么就是德行有问题，要么是个寡妇。很难碰到是因为自身没遇到良人才未结婚的。”

"So this has led to many people not wanting to practice Taoism. Those with assets at home don't want to suffer. Those whose families are well off can't afford to delay for so long. When their families are in trouble, their first choice is to work, their second choice is to farm, and only then will they think of becoming a Taoist priest. Because they really can't afford to live, they will choose the path of a Taoist priest."

"Look at the disciples of our uncles and aunts. They were all adopted to learn Taoism because their family members were all gone. A small number of them were also chosen to become Taoists because they were a burden to their families or because of special reasons."

"That is to say, the Taoist sect that everyone admired before has now become one that only people who can't survive would consider joining. It's not like before when people wanted to practice Taoism. Times have changed."

"I used to be able to live well, but I would join the Daoist sect only because I had spiritual pursuits. But now it is the last resort when I really can't survive. Most of the former don't have much demand for material things anymore. They are naturally determined to follow the Dao. The latter just want to survive. Although a small number of them will practice hard, they just want to learn well and make more money. If they are not determined, they will fall into the evil path. Those who can stay firm actually have limited achievements."

"So this is why most of our generation of brothers and sisters have little interest in the Tao and have not made much progress. Because practicing Taoism is too boring, and the results are slow, many people no longer see any hope. So they gradually give up practicing Taoism."

After hearing Li Moye's analysis, Shi Jian felt upset. He had thought about the reasons for the decline of Taoism before, but he had not thought about it as thoroughly as his nephew. However, he was also somewhat happy. His nephew could express such insights, which meant that he already had a solution.

"Nephew Moye, I also know the current situation of the Taoist sect. Your analysis is very thorough. Of course, it is also a problem of this era. Nephew, you just said that we in Maoshan are short of money. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Simple! According to what I said above, if you want to change the current situation, you need to do four things:

First: making money! In fact, the most profitable thing for us in Maoshan is not driving corpses or exorcising ghosts and demons! It is elixirs. Nowadays, the richest people are not ordinary people, but the wealthy gentry. We can refine some elixirs such as Qi-boosting and body-building elixirs and sell them to those wealthy people. They pay the most attention to their health. So we can make money from them. Of course, we can also sell beauty elixirs to their female relatives. This way we can make a lot of money

Second: Our disciples are too scattered. They are all scattered outside to make a living. The Maoshan ancestral temple cannot give them much help in their lives. We need to gather the disciples together, and then the sect will give them a monthly allowance every month.

Then they are given merit points. The more merit points a person gets for exorcising demons, the more cultivation resources he or she can obtain. The apprentices are led by the master. If the cultivation level of the apprentices under Mengxiang improves, the monthly allowance for the master can be increased. And if the apprentices can be promoted to the earth master level, the master will automatically be promoted to the outer sect elder. The heaven master level is the inner sect elder. And so on.

Third: We need to change the elder system of the sect. The previous rule that people cannot get married and have children should be abolished. Then we should add the law enforcement hall and the review hall. If there are people who commit crimes or protect others, no matter what position they are in, they will be abolished and beaten to death. Relatives and disciples will be subject to internal review. If there is no problem, they will be let go, but they will not be promoted for life.

Fourth: We need to build our own armed forces. We don't provoke trouble, but we are not afraid of it. In this world, if you are too good, someone will naturally provoke trouble. Our armed forces are to prevent others from taking action against us easily. Although Maoshan prohibits taking action against ordinary people, it does not include those who take the initiative to provoke trouble. We don't provoke trouble, but we are not afraid of it. Whoever dares to raise his hand will have his hand chopped off.

After hearing his nephew's plan, Shi Jian, who prided himself on being ruthless, was frightened. Every item in it was contrary to the previous Maoshan. But his nephew was right. In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. In this world, if Maoshan wants to rise, it can no longer be as clean as before.

It's just that the master, or the head of the sect, wants to push him to the top, and a big reason is that his character can preserve the foundation of Maoshan. As for carrying it forward, that's just a nice way of saying it. In fact, they all know that in this world, Maoshan will only decline. When a person who can truly dominate the world appears, perhaps Maoshan has already disappeared from everyone's sight.

His nephew was taking an unconventional approach, and every move was risky. But if he succeeded, Maoshan would definitely prosper again for hundreds of years.

His nephew was very ambitious. But it was very much to his liking. Either he exploded in silence or he died in silence. Shi Jian could not let the sect he had believed in for his whole life slowly decline. Even if he had to fight once, even if the future was uncertain, he would still give it a try!

"Good! Good! Nephew! You are very ambitious! You have a good idea! Although this will bring more enemies to Maoshan. But today's Maoshan can no longer be as conservative as before. Times have changed. When the Qing Gate was knocked open by cannons, the times have changed. We in Maoshan must keep pace with the times. No matter what the result is, your uncle will pave the way forward for you at the cost of his life!"

Li Moye felt relieved after hearing Shi Jian's attitude. In fact, his ideas were very unorthodox because he had made the Maoshan Mountain, which used to be indifferent to worldly affairs, known to everyone.

Without great courage, it is impossible to make such a bold reform. Shi Jian is not capable of this, and neither is his master. Only he, a time traveler who has been baptized by the modern world, dares to make such a reform.

He was originally worried that his uncle might not accept it, but he did not expect that his uncle would accept his idea so readily.

"Uncle Master! These are just ideas now. We can only implement them after I take that position. I am only in the initial stage of the Earth Master Realm... Uh? I think I am in the middle stage of the Earth Master Realm!"

"Well! Wow! Junior Brother, you really have great talent. You have reached the middle stage of the master realm so quickly. Seeing your current level of cultivation, I am more and more confident about the future of Maoshan. Haha! God bless our Maoshan!"

Li Moxie didn't expect that his system was so awesome. He hadn't even reacted yet, but he had already made a breakthrough. It was really amazing.

But the most important thing at the moment has not been discussed yet. I have only been laying the groundwork for my uncle.

"Haha! I still have a long way to go before I can become your uncle. I will have to wait until I reach the Heavenly Master level and take the position of the headmaster before we can complete my plan."

"Haha, no problem. I believe that with your talent, you will soon be able to break through to the Heavenly Master level. I don't think it will take long."

"Haha, Master Uncle is right. And since Master Uncle also agrees with my plan, then in the future, after abolishing the rule that elders and heads are not allowed to marry and have children, Master Uncle, I hope that you can become the supreme elder of Maoshan in the future. Is that okay?"

"Hmm? This... forget it! Nephew. I know you are doing this for my own good. But I have failed Master's expectations. I am also ashamed to hold any important position in Maoshan. The only wish of your uncle is to push you to become the headmaster of Maoshan, and then pave the way for the future of Maoshan."

"Uncle Master! You are joking. Compared to your strength, your greatest role is to teach the disciples. Moreover, you are the eldest senior brother of the current generation. Even if you made a small mistake, you are still the most prestigious one in the hearts of the uncles and uncles. Just like my master, although he has different ideas from you, but when he taught me, it was you who talked the most."

"So if you don't take on the position of Grand Elder, who will take it?"
