Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Master Lu has already informed me. Don't worry. With my senior sister here, we at the Jidian Hall will give you complete freedom. You can do whatever you want." Cui Yan took the Inspector's token from Liu Xing, examined it, and returned it to Liu Xing. She accepted Liu Xing's gift and, noticing his humble and upright demeanor, she felt a liking for him. She then promised to fully support his work.

"Senior sister, could you first introduce me to the business situation of Jifentang?" Seeing that he had a closer relationship with his senior sister, Liu Xing took the opportunity to inquire about the relevant business situation.

"Of course. The Points Hall is the financial center of our sect. Our assets are the sum of the treasures and spirit stones owned by the sect, which are concentrated in warehouses, workshops, and sales terminals. We convert all assets into money, of which 30% of the total assets are converted into sect points, which are distributed as task rewards and rewards to disciples. Points and spirit stones can be exchanged at any time through the sect's bank. What should be paid special attention to here is that the total amount of points cannot be increased or decreased at will, and must be maintained at about 30% of the total assets." Cui Yan said slowly.

"Junior Brother, I understand," Liu Xing replied. These points are like paper money from the past life, spirit stones are like gold, and money houses are like banks. Just as banks in the past couldn't print money recklessly, as that would lead to inflation, money houses couldn't issue points indefinitely.

"In addition to managing points, the bank also manages spirit stones. Fifty percent of the sect's total assets are spirit stone reserves, most of which are used for the cultivation of the Elder Council and high-level Jindan cultivators, and a small portion is used for various expenses. What is particularly important here is that the spirit stone reserves must always be sufficient. Once they are spent, they must be replenished quickly to prepare for emergencies." Cui Yan would emphasize each key point when she talked about it. Liu Xing could feel the advice from his senior sister and felt grateful.

He immediately understood the importance of maintaining sufficient spirit stones. This was the same principle as maintaining sufficient cash flow in the financial management of his previous life's company. Both were key to the healthy financial development of the company.

"Half of the total assets are fixed assets. The entire sect must work together to obtain more cultivation resources to supplement the sect warehouse. The more treasures the sect has, the stronger the sect will be. The core work of our Jifentang every month is the inventory of assets, the budget of spirit stones, and the statistics of income and expenditure. The difficulty here is how to achieve the four words "reduce costs and increase efficiency". Junior Brother Liu, you can think of more ways in this regard." After Cui Yan gave an overall introduction to the financial system, she kindly pointed out the direction to Liu Xing.

"Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister. I'll give you my suggestions once I'm familiar with the financial status of the sect's various businesses." Liu Xing replied cautiously. He didn't understand the situation at all, so speaking without thinking would make people think he was frivolous.

"Our income mainly comes from external plundering and sales terminal turnover, and the expenditure is the remuneration of the sect disciples and production costs. Next, I will introduce the financial situation of each business department in detail to my junior brother..." Cui Yan began to introduce the various business departments again.

This exchange lasted three days and three nights, primarily Cui Yan's introductions. Liu Xing listened attentively and took careful notes, occasionally asking questions when he didn't understand something. The Qianji Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, spread across a wide area, and with complex interpersonal relationships. He listened to Senior Sister Cui's briefing of the entire situation, and then he had a general understanding.

"Okay, this is the overall situation. The specific account books are sealed in the accounting library of the Points Hall. This is my token. You have ten days to go in and check the accounts." After Cui Yan finished speaking, she gave Liu Xing a green token.

"Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister. I'm deeply grateful." Liu Xing hurriedly took it with both hands, stood up and bowed. Senior Sister Cui had given him a detailed overview of the sect's financial situation, saving him a lot of time.

"Time is precious, please go quickly." Cui Yan smiled slightly and extended her hand to see the guest off.

Liu Xing said goodbye and went straight to the accounting department.

Cui Yan watched Liu Xing walk out of her office, expressionless and dazed, but her heart was surging like a storm.

"Who is this Junior Brother Liu? Master actually ordered me personally to assist him with his work unconditionally and fully, and all the information in the Points Hall will be open to him, including those top-secret documents." Cui Yan came from the Divination Department, so she could naturally read faces and tell fortunes, but she couldn't see Liu Xing's fortune at all. She could only see a gray haze when she practiced her mysterious skills. If she wanted to activate the secret skills and use them forcefully, the skills would definitely backfire.

"Since you don't understand, just listen to Master and try your best to befriend Junior Brother Liu. I'll wait and see what kind of surprises Junior Brother Liu can bring us."

Liu Xing naturally didn't know about Cui Yan and his apprentice's situation. He had already arrived at the accounting vault and discovered an extremely powerful barrier set up outside the main hall, emitting a strong murderous aura. It was clearly an extremely powerful killing formation. Even a Yuanying-level ancestor couldn't forcibly break the barrier in such a short time.

Liu Xing pulled out the token Cui Yan had given him and activated a green light, shooting it toward the restricted entrance. A gray light shot out, enveloping Liu Xing and drawing him away. It turned out to be an invisible teleportation array. Liu Xing didn't panic, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in a confined space. He looked around, surrounded by bookshelves, densely packed with various jade slips arranged according to their age.

Liu Xing walked forward and began to check various accounts according to the principle of proximity.

"Five hundred million spirit stones in reserve! The sect is so rich!" Liu Xing's eyes widened. If he could own all those spirit stones, he would be rich. He suppressed his inner restlessness and continued reading.

"Geng Gold, Golden Thunder Bamboo, Magnetic Hidden Stone, Millennium Spiritual Medicine..." Liu Xing's eyes welled up as he surveyed the sect's current treasures. He knew the names of some of these precious treasures, while others he couldn't even identify. However, each one was marked with its corresponding estimated price in Spiritual Stones, which greatly broadened his horizons. He silently memorized each treasure, looking up the information later for items he didn't recognize. With this price list, he would be more discerning when navigating the martial arts world, and avoid being scammed.

"Military expenses, 100 million per year, actually take up 20% of the spirit stone reserves. Is that really that high?" Liu Xing carefully examined each expense item again. Many of the figures were beyond his imagination. However, as he carefully reviewed each item, he found that each expenditure was clear and reasonable. He nodded frequently. It seemed that Senior Sister Cui managed the finances very well.

"The sect actually has an assassination hall that has assassinated so many big guys! It has also secretly executed so many traitors!" Liu Xing also saw many confidential documents, which made him know many unknown secrets.
