Fox Demon: This is the Guardian Blade

According to the original idea, Chen Gou wanted to open more than a hundred branches. Fortunately, he developed his power in different regions of the human race, and the twelve divisions were also for "guarding" or watching over the shops and other forces of his own power in different regions.

Having a force under his control to handle trivial matters means Chen Gou doesn't have to worry about it himself, and it is much more convenient to do what he wants. If there is a chance, he even wants to open up business in various parts of the demon tribe, let the people below get to know each other and open up some channels...

"Oh, Boss, when we were recruiting talents in Changsheng Pavilion a while ago, our people were already noticed by the Yiqi Dao League."

Xuan Yi paused here, uh... he had forgotten a little. He quickly flipped through his notebook to organize his words before continuing.

"Back then, we were just a small force, and the Yiqi Dao League only paid a little attention to this rapidly rising force... But they probably didn't expect us to rise so quickly. Moreover, under your cultivation, our people have become extremely powerful. At that time, it was impossible for the Yiqi Dao League to recruit us or even suppress us. The losses would be too great, so..."

Putting down the tea, Chen Gou spoke slowly.

"So... they want to cooperate with us, the Immortal Pavilion?"

Xuan Yi nodded. After all, the magic weapons, talismans, pills and other things sold in the Changsheng Pavilion shop Chen Baihuo are very popular among the cultivators, and their main feature is that they are cheap and affordable.

"The Yiqi Dao League said that if possible, in the future, anyone from the Changsheng Pavilion will be able to enjoy certain privileges while in the human realm. This will make everything the Changsheng Pavilion does much easier. However, if humans or even the Dao League encounter a crisis and someone from the Changsheng Pavilion is nearby, they must all fight together... And every year, the Changsheng Pavilion will need to provide the Dao League with two quotas for custom weapons, with the Dao League covering the material costs..."

After saying this, Xuan Yi secretly paid attention to the changes in his boss's expression, but he did not see any emotional fluctuations on Chen Gou's face.

"Boss... don't you have anything to say?"

Xuan Yi saw that his boss didn't respond for a long time after listening, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm? Pretty good... The conditions are pretty relaxed. From now on, if our people see anyone from the Dao Alliance or ordinary people in danger, we can help them if we want. As for custom-made magic weapons, we can ask our blacksmiths to do it! Otherwise, why would we train so many talented people? It's not like I'm going to forge magic weapons myself anyway. It's very tiring..."

Chen Gou said calmly that he needed to practice, but he didn't have the time to take care of so many miscellaneous things. Why should he do it himself when there were people under him who didn't need him?

"Also...Xiaoxuan, I can't drink this kind of tea. Why don't you bring me the black tea drink I asked you to make..."

Chen Gou changed the subject and lifted up the teacup. The tea in the cup flew out as if wrapped by some mysterious force. Tea leaves could be clearly seen floating in the light green tea.

With a wave of his hand, the tea immediately rushed out the door and poured into the flower bed at the door.

A little kid passing by the door turned around and suddenly saw a ball of floating tea flying towards him. He subconsciously tried to dodge but bumped into the leg of his parent behind him, almost knocking the adult off balance.

But the water seemed to have life, and it turned into rain and dew and scattered on the flower bed. Seeing this scene, he wanted to look at his parents, but before he could turn around, he was dragged away by his parents by the ear.

......

"Um... As long as you're happy, Boss..."

Xuan Yi's mouth twitched. Sometimes the boss seemed so approachable and confusing, but sometimes he was so mysterious that it was terrifying to think about it.

It seems that this negotiation is more suitable for Luo Luoshu and myself to handle...

Taking out a special jade tube from the magic bracelet and uncovering the talisman used for cooling, Xuan Yi obediently poured a glass for Chen Gou.

"Hiss~ah! Iced black tea drinks are the best! Oh, Xiaoxuan, why don't you have some iced ones too! They're delicious!"

Chen Gou took a sip and found that the drink from his previous life had a unique flavor. The sour, sweet and slightly icy refreshing taste really made him feel unable to stop.

Glancing at Xuan Yi's hesitant look, he couldn't help but invite him.

"Boss... no... no need."

Xuan Yi watched his boss drinking the drink he had just brewed today, and when he asked him if he wanted to drink it, he shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, I'll brew more next time. Hmm... ask my men to make it... perfect.

"Xuan Yi, you've practiced the technique I gave you quite well! You're indeed a top-notch spiritual root."

Chen Gou suddenly regained his serious demeanor while drinking black tea, and couldn't help but sigh as he felt Xuan Yi's current cultivation level.

"Yes! Don't be fooled by Xiaoxuan's usual indifferent appearance. In fact, he is secretly cultivating and his attitude is one of the most enthusiastic ones in Changsheng Pavilion, except for you, Uncle Chen."

Fanyin nodded in agreement at this time and spoke.

She used to think that her cultivation time and level of perseverance were not as good as Uncle Chen's, but she was not too far behind the average person. It was not until she established the Changsheng Pavilion and met Xiaoxuan... that she realized that humans are indeed very competitive.

However, as a demon, Fanyin may not realize that her cultivation speed is far beyond the reach of other demons.

"It's not that amazing! It's all thanks to the boss's cultivation! After all, I've already said that my life was given by the boss!"

When Xuan Yi said this, his tone and expression were extremely serious.

Name: Xuanyi

Race: human

Lifespan: 19/90

Spiritual roots: three spiritual roots

Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 8/Meridian Opening Level 5 (Everyone starts practicing at different times. Chen Gou spent several years developing the technique before finally mastering the Twelve Parts of the Martial Arts…)

Abilities: Five Elements Qi Jue "White" (Qi Refining Stage), Twelve Dog Jue, Earth Escape, Gravity Earth...

Threat: None (the opponent cannot have any intention of attacking the master)

Looking at this intimidating force, Chen Gou suddenly felt that it was right for him to impose restrictions on the twelve of them to learn this special technique.

The twelve leaders of these groups practiced the real immortal cultivation techniques, and the initial group of people were all selected by Chen Gou himself.

He also gave each of them a set of cultivation techniques, but there were restrictions in the techniques, which would subtly influence a person's thoughts.

For example, being loyal to someone forever.

As long as he thought about it, he could make them destroy themselves, and the same goes for Fanyin... Don't blame Chen Gou for being a bad person, he asked for the opinions of each of them, and they all agreed.

If there is an opportunity to change one's fate and become a true immortal, who can resist such temptation?

Of course he could also remove it, but that was impossible. Anyway, he didn't restrict them much. As long as they didn't tell outsiders about the immortal cultivation techniques and any secrets about him, they would be fine.

No matter what Chen Gou does, he will always hold back. If he is really open-hearted to others, he will be a fool. He doesn't want to be seen as a scoundrel.

Only when you have enough chips in your hand can you have the right to speak, and this applies in any world.

......

At this time, Chen Gou, who had finished drinking the black tea, started to talk about business.

"...Okay...Fanyin, you've been practicing for so long now, it's time to show me the results of your practice."

Fanyin: Ah~ Uncle Chen~! o＞_＜o

Fanyin used the method of acting coquettishly on Chen Gou...but failed.

"By the way...Xuan Yi, ask your men to look after the store, and you come too..."

Xuan Yi, who was still laughing in his heart, suddenly heard Chen Gou's next sentence. His face froze and he felt unwell.

"Boss...um...can you please be gentler..."

Xuan Yi tried to struggle.

"This month's..."

"Okay! Please, boss, whip me hard! I can handle it!"

Chen Gou:……
