To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Sun Yi saw how the square was neatly arranged by Er Gouzi and nodded in satisfaction. At this time, Lin Hai next to him frowned slightly and looked at Sun Yi with a puzzled look: "Master, do we really need to offer them such high salaries?"

Sun Yi smiled and looked at Lin Hai: "Do you think that even if the benefits are reduced, they will still sign up enthusiastically?"

Lin Hai nodded seriously. In his opinion, it was a bit of a waste for Qingyun Sect to offer such good benefits to these miners. It would be better to save the resources for the sect’s own people to use.

Sun Yi smiled and shook his head. At this time, Ergouzi also came to Sun Yi and Lin Hai.

Sun Yi looked at Er Gouzi again: "Chang Qing, Lin Hai just said that the conditions we offer to these independent cultivators in Qingyun Sect are too good. What do you think?"

Er Gouzi replied seriously, "As long as it's what the leader believes is right, I absolutely support it."

Sun Yi rolled his eyes at Er Gouzi and said, "I just want to ask you what you think. Do you also think that the conditions we offer these independent cultivators are too high?"

Er Gouzi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded honestly: "I think it's indeed a bit high. Even if we reduce the benefits by half, they will still be able to accept it."

Lin Hai, who was standing by, nodded when he heard that even the deputy leader thought so.

Sun Yi smiled and shook his head: "As the deputy head and the head of the Spiritual Medicine Hall, you can't just focus on the present, you have to look to the future and broaden your horizons."

Ergouzi and Lin Hai looked at Sun Yi in confusion.

Sun Yi continued to explain to the two, "I believe you are all aware of the speed at which our Variety Arts Hall is developing. Now that Luan Yao County is basically stable, our Qingyun Sect will develop even faster, and the development of the Variety Arts Hall will be even faster."

"The development of the Miscellaneous Arts Hall will enable us to produce a large number of products, including spiritual weapons, spiritual pills, talismans, formation flags, spiritual beasts and other resources."

"We Qingyun Sect disciples alone cannot consume all the resources produced by the sect, so we need to face the external market."

"If we want to sell Zayitang's products to these independent cultivators, we must first ensure that they have money. At the same time, we also need them to identify with us from the bottom of their hearts, thank us, and accumulate word of mouth. Only then, when they have products of the same quality in the future, will they give priority to our Qingyun Sect."

"Don't forget that Luan Yao County has the presence of the Tiansheng County Merchant Alliance. Their spiritual weapons, spiritual pills, talismans, formation flags, spiritual beasts and other resources have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"If we want to compete with them, we can't just rely on quality, we need to find another way."

Sun Yi turned his gaze to Lin Hai and said, "Lin Hai, have you given us a rough estimate of how much spiritual medicine the more than one hundred spiritual medicine gardens we have established will produce in a few years, ten years, or even decades?"

"How many spiritual pills will be produced after these spiritual herbs are refined in our Alchemy Hall?"

"Are these extra elixirs going to be sealed away in the treasury like before? I think this is a very undesirable idea."

"The sect's treasury only needs to store a certain amount of resources. We need to sell the excess resources to recover funds and cultivate consumers."

This was the first time Er Gouzi and Lin Hai heard such a concept, which completely shattered their views on cultivation. It was also the first time they heard of cultivating consumers.

"Do consumers also need to be trained?" Ergouzi couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it needs training. Think about it, the level of our Miscellaneous Arts Hall is improving very quickly. Now there are more and more third-level alchemists, weapon refiners, formation masters, and talisman masters. In the future, more and more third-level resources will be produced."

"Even if we equip and use a large number of them ourselves, and even take out some for storage, our consumption rate cannot keep up with the production rate, so we need to export them."

"But there are only so many Jindan-stage cultivators in Luanyao County, and the spending power of Foundation Establishment cultivators is insufficient. What should we do?"

"Of course, we try to help them improve their cultivation and increase their spending power. This will open up new markets for our products."

"Of course, we can sell our products to other counties in the future, but Luan Yao County is our territory now, and prioritizing the development of Luan Yao County is our first choice."

"These consumers buy our products, we get the money back and can purchase high-quality materials. Zayitang can use these high-quality materials to continue to hone and improve its skills, then create even more advanced products and sell them. Doesn't this form a cycle?"

"The economy needs circulation. We can't develop on our own. The most beneficial option for us is to develop together."

"The Variety Art Hall is still in the preparation stage. Once the Evil Spirit Valley Super Market is established, it will be the golden age for the development of the Variety Art Hall."

"Although it will take some time, we can now start cultivating consumers and build the reputation of Qingyun Sect. Even though we are spending a lot of resources now, it is nothing compared to our future gains."

“You have to know how to invest in the future.”

"Okay, you can think about this slowly. I'm going to go check out the Variety Arts Hall. Changqing, you stay here."

Sun Yi ignored Ergouzi and Lin Hai who were lost in thought at the moment, turned around and transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the Variety Art Hall.

It was not until a while after Sun Yi left that Ergouzi sighed. Lin Hai, who was standing beside him, also sighed and looked in the direction where Sun Yi left, with even more admiration in his eyes.

"The master is truly a genius. His ideas are so wild and imaginative. He has such foresight that I can't believe it." Lin Hai's face was full of admiration.

"Yes, if the master hadn't explained it to us, I'm afraid we would never have thought that the master would have such considerations."

"I didn't expect that the leader has already thought of the sect's future plans. He is simply a genius." Er Gouzi also had a face full of admiration.

"Anyway, what the master said must be correct. Let's carry it out seriously according to the master's requirements." Lin Hai took a deep breath and became more determined to support Sun Yi.

At this time, Sun Yi had already arrived at the entrance of the Equipment Refining Hall. As soon as he landed, the two Foundation Establishment Stage disciples guarding the door hurriedly bowed to Sun Yi respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master."

Sun Yi smiled and nodded at the two of them: "You have worked hard."

"It's not hard at all. The Sect Master wants to find Palace Master Yan, right? They are all in the weapon refining area. How about I go and notify them?"

Sun Yi waved his hand: "No need, I'll just go find them directly."

After saying that, Sun Yi went straight into the weapon refining hall. He was already very familiar with this place. There were relatively few people in the hall at the moment, only a dozen or so.

"Greetings, Master." As soon as these people saw Sun Yi, they hurriedly saluted him respectfully.

Sun Yi nodded in response to them with a smile, and then went directly to the weapon refining place. As soon as he stepped into the weapon refining place, Sun Yi was shocked by the lively scene here.
