Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 452 Three Yang Stance Exercise

Strangely, even though Han Yi ate so much food, his stomach didn't rise or fall at all.

It wasn't for any other reason than the powerful digestive ability granted to him by the "Heaven-Mending Technique." It greatly enhanced his gastrointestinal function, allowing him to digest food and transform qi and blood more quickly.

Just like before, a large amount of monster meat full of blood and qi was swallowed and immediately digested, leaving only food residue.

'However, even with such abundant replenishment of qi and blood, the Heaven-Mending Technique still cannot break through. It seems that I must rely on deduction to force a breakthrough.'

During his break, Han Yi checked the information on the control panel.

"Master Han, the gatekeeper reports that the three hall masters have arrived. What do you think..." Just then, Yang Du walked up to Han Yi and whispered.

"Let them in. Wait for me in the lobby first," Han Yi replied casually.

He originally planned to close his eyes and rest for a while after lunch.

Unexpectedly, the meal took more than an hour. It was already afternoon.

He had already notified the three hall masters, Qu Qiao, to hold a small meeting in the afternoon to wrap up the work of the first quarter.

The inspectors wield immense power, but the responsibilities they bear are also extremely troublesome.

This is also a major reason why Han Yi sometimes feels impatient.

......

The Inspector's Office, Main Hall.

"Alright, tell me about your recent work. How's it going?" Han Yi asked calmly, sitting upright in the main seat. "According to the master's instructions, our Eagle Soaring Hall has improved the treatment and compensation for miners. The families of the miners who died or were injured in the mining accident have all been compensated."

Furthermore, while we have sufficient personnel in this area, we still need to train many new people before they can mine underground. This will take time, but we expect to complete it next month.

Zhu Haishan, the head of Yingyang Hall, gave the first report.

"Yes, in terms of personnel allocation, we must pay attention to training, especially strengthening the popularization of knowledge about various emergencies, to prevent the occurrence of stampedes and panic in mine accidents."

Also, at the temporary transfer station in the mine, you need to arrange for people to keep records each time ore is stored.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haishan's face also turned bitter, like a bitter gourd. Wasn't this equivalent to taking on an extra responsibility?

With great power comes great responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the more I do, and the more mistakes I make.

Han Yi said a few words casually, ignoring Zhu Haishan, and looked at Qu Qiao: "And you?"

“Recently, our Xuanwu Hall, following the orders of the lord, has set up hidden traps in several places near the mine and assigned special personnel to observe them…” Qu Qiao dared not delay and answered quickly.

Han Yi's arrangements for his work were largely to guard against the Green Army and prevent a repeat of what happened in the mine last time.

People have come to his house and caused all sorts of damage, and he still doesn't know anything...

Of course, Han Yi knew that even if he made special arrangements and prepared some protection, it would be difficult to stop a master who could move swiftly and powerfully.

But doing nothing won't do either. We can only make do with this for now.

Because of this incident, he now feels the inadequacy of being alone. In many cases, only by having his own strength and influence can things proceed more easily.

The thought flashed through Han Yi's mind, but this matter could not be rushed and required careful consideration.

After Qu Qiao finished speaking, it was Luo Meiwei's turn as the head of the Lotus Hall.

The middle-aged woman was wearing a pink dress that looked like something a young girl would wear, with a white strapless top and a small shawl draped over it. Pearl-like white earrings could be faintly seen swaying in her long black hair.

Her pink skirt was even more daring, barely reaching her knees, and with her legs crossed, her upper thighs were faintly visible.

Upon seeing this, Qu Qiao and Zhu Haishan couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"My lord, all the tasks assigned to the estate this quarter have been completed, and all the remaining weapons have been sold. This is the tax revenue and all the profits from each industry this quarter. Please take a look, my lord." Luo Meiwei answered seriously, raising her arm to hold up the ledger.

Although she dressed sexily, her speech and movements were dignified and graceful, and her sensitive parts were subtly revealed with every gesture. This strong contrast made her appear mature and alluring.

"Forget it, no need. You'd better summarize all the accounts receivable balances and then hand them over to me." Han Yi didn't even glance at him, completely unmoved, and casually waved his hand.

He had no interest in meticulously calculating profits by going through the ledgers and matching quantities one by one.

That would be a huge waste of time and unnecessary.

His fundamental purpose in delegating so boldly was simply to have ample time for cultivation.

In fact, he knew that the three hall masters, Qu Qiao, Zhu Haishan, and Luo Meiwei, all had some personal problems and selfish motives to varying degrees.

Things like using one's position to place relatives in positions of power or to seek small personal benefits are all too common.

After all, everyone has their own selfish desires. As long as they can do a good job of handling the tasks assigned within the manor, manage the Qiyun Mountain area well, and not interfere with Han Yi's own cultivation, that will be enough.

“By the way, sir, I have a few things that need your confirmation.” Luo Meiwei took out a roll of parchment from her sleeve, gently unfolded it, and parted her red lips slightly. “The first thing is that the Dongshan Escort Agency, which we have been cooperating with for a long time, recently requested an increase in freight rates, saying that the trade routes have been somewhat chaotic lately, not as peaceful as before.”

"How does it compare to other companies on the market?" Han Yi asked about the increased shipping costs.

“I have consulted on this. It’s true that transportation prices have skyrocketed. Even after Dongshan Escort Agency raised its prices, they are still at the market rate. But their advantage lies in their strong capabilities and the good relationship they have built over many years,” Luo Meiwei explained.

“Alright, then agree to their terms. But you have to tell the person in charge of Dongshan Escort Agency that a price increase is acceptable, but if any unexpected events occur, then double compensation is required.”

Han Yi replied casually. "Yes, Master Han." Luo Meiwei quickly jotted it down on the paper.

“There’s a second matter, which concerns the tea gardens that produce ‘Yunqing Tea.’ Chen Jiuli, the inspector of Yangzhi Academy, recently wrote to say that he wants to reclaim those tea gardens,” Luo Meiwei continued.

"Why should I take back the tea plantation?" Han Yi said lazily.

He also knew Chen Jiuli, whose businesses were adjacent to Han Yi's.

The businesses that Zhong Yunxiu had to abandon in Qiyun Mountain were taken over by this person.

"He said that Yunqing Tea only accounts for a small percentage of the profits in the adults' businesses, and he wants to buy it back at a high price," Luo Meiwei whispered.

"High price?" Han Yi smiled slightly. "Then tell him it's 100,000 taels."

“Oh, right, it’s 100,000 taels of gold notes,” he added.

Luo Meiwei was stunned. One hundred thousand taels of gold notes—what did that even mean?
