He originally thought that Xiao Yue would bring Wen Ling'er with her.
The moment he saw Wen Ling'er appear at the door, Li Pingan was already suspicious.
As a close confidant of Elder Xiao Yue, Wen Ling'er had been working for Wan Yun Sect in Fang Town for decades, so it was very suspicious to suddenly enter the mountain gate.
Normally, the only way for a handyman disciple like Wen Ling'er to enter the mountain gate is to become an inner disciple. However, Wen Ling'er was wearing the uniform of an outer disciple and was surrounded by other outer disciples. Wen Ling'er
Apparently Xiao Yue specially arranged to enter the outer gate of Wanyun Sect...
What is the significance of Xiao Yue sending Wen Ling'er into the mountain gate?
If it was some kind of honey trap, Li Ping'an naturally didn't believe it. He insisted that the Xian family's plan couldn't be so crude.
Moreover, Wen Ling'er is a cute and well-behaved type. Shouldn't Elder Xiao personally use the beauty trap on his father?
While I was thinking about this, Xiao Yue was already calling in front of the cave door:
"Xianren Qingsu, Xiao Yue would like to see you."
She is a true immortal, and Qingsu is a heavenly immortal. This request to see her is well deserved.
Inside the cave's barrier, Qing Su came with her hands behind her back, her tall and slender figure holding up her ice-blue dress perfectly. Her figure flashed twice and appeared behind the door. She closed the barrier and opened the cave door.
Li Pingan stood up from the recliner, stood by the lotus pond, and glanced outside.
Outside the door is still the beautiful elder.
Xiao Yue's face is very suitable for heavy makeup, her red lips are like fire, and her phoenix eyes are seductive. The neon clothes on her body are complex in structure but not good at covering them up. Her shoulders and chest reveal a large area of fair skin. Her hot figure is paired with a gauze dress.
It also gives people a gorgeous but not vulgar feeling.
But at this moment, Xiao Yue's beauty could not overpower Qing Su's Bing Jie, and the entrance to the cave seemed to be filled with two heavens of ice and fire.
"Why are you here, elder?" Qing Su asked calmly.
"My sister doesn't recognize me anymore?"
Xiao Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, took the initiative to take a half step forward, and took Qing Su's arm.
"When you became an immortal, I went to Caiyun Peak to watch the ceremony, but I never thought that my sister would become an immortal within the sect in a blink of an eye, enjoying the same worship as the elders of the inner sect, but my sister would still be in the realm of a true immortal.
"Sister is always busy in Shanwaifang Town. I am really envious of you."
Qing Su felt a little uncomfortable, and with a slight effort, she swung Xiao Yue's right hand away and asked softly: "Elder, are you okay?"
Xiao Yue took advantage of the situation and put her hands in front of her body and said softly: "It's nothing else. Can I find little friend Ping An? I have some things to discuss with him."
Li Ping'an was just about to go to the door.
"No."
Qing Su said calmly:
"My apprentice's cultivation level is too low and it is not appropriate for him to have contact with the elders."
Li Ping'an immediately stopped and looked out the door honestly.
Xiao Yue was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Sister Qingsu doesn't know something. Little friend Ping An and I are also old friends. I came to see him this time to ask about the new method of refining weapons. I also want to help the disciples."
Make more contributions."
Qing Su said: "That man should stop his charm skills first. My disciple is only in the Condensing Light Realm. You will destroy his Taoist heart."
Xiao Yue's smile froze, as if she was mocking her, and she used the orchid finger on her right hand to perform a magic trick. Her phoenix eyes lost some of the attractive ripples, and her brows actually looked more pure.
On the contrary, the charm increased greatly.
Qingsu turned to look at Li Ping'an, seemingly asking for his opinion.
"Master, I also have something to discuss with Elder Xiao," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "This disciple's cultivation is too low, so you should also keep an eye on him."
"good."
Qing Su nodded slightly, made an invitation gesture to Xiao Yue, and then floated to Li Pingan's side.
Li Ping'an suddenly said: "Master, the conversation between me and Elder Xiao cannot be heard by outsiders. You raise the barrier... Just listen here. You are not an outsider."
A slight smile appeared on Qingsu's lips, and she sat back on the recliner with a jade note-taking charm in her hand.
Xiao Yue sighed lightly.
She looked at Li Ping'an with a faint look, and came towards Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an bowed his hands forward and invited Xiao Yue to the octagonal stone table, where he got some snacks and fruit juice. The etiquette was quite thoughtful.
Xiao Yue sighed: "At your age, why are you so cunning and cunning? I can't explain it to Deputy Head Mo Yi."
Directly mentioned the name of Taoist Mo Yi?
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Elder, you should have made a decision by taking the initiative to come to me, and you won't care about such things."
"It does take less effort to talk to you."
Xiao Yue smiled and said:
"I just came from the main hall. The headmaster is entertaining guests. Your father and the elders are thinking about how to make the set of magic tools produce more magic weapons. I feel a little bored there, so I might as well come directly to find you."
Li Ping'an said slowly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. That set of magical instruments was actually made by my father. My father asked me to present it to the door, just to give me some rewards."
"oh?"
Xiao Yue's fingertips gently slid on the edge of the porcelain cup and said softly:
"But why does Uncle Dazhi say that he and you are indispensable? He can create a whole set of processes, but you can solve the engraving method and the method of inlaying spiritual stones?"
Li Ping'an:......
Good guy, did your father say all this?
However, Xiao Yue calls her father uncle. Considering that she once said that she is also a disciple of Jinxian, Xiao Yue's master should be the Jinxian disciple of Master Kongming.
——The other two golden immortals in the sect, one is the third disciple of Patriarch Kongming, and the other is the close friend and confidant of Patriarch Kongming.
"My father really can't hide anything in his heart," Li Ping'an sighed, "I can only do small tricks. Father's integration and debugging are the most important."
"Now that you admit it, I don't have to beat around the bush."
Xiao Yue asked directly:
"The twelve magical weapons you presented to the sect are quite crude in the eyes of everyone who refines them, but the method of using them to refine magical weapons is eye-opening.
"I calculated an account when I came here. According to the importance of the door, this..."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "This is called an assembly line."
"That's an interesting title."
Xiao Yuefeng's eyes flashed slightly and she said quickly:
"According to the progress of the sect, such an assembly line can roll out more than 20 sets within half a month. After that, the number will increase every month. It is expected that the sect can earn hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones every year.
"This is only based on the current level of weapon refining, and is limited by the number of stores in our Wan Yun Sect and the speed of the circulation of magic weapons.
"But if this method can be improved, and high-quality or above-grade magic weapons can be produced in batches, or even top-level magic weapons, the amount of spiritual stones that can be earned in the door will be very considerable."
Li Ping'an just looked at Xiao Yue and said nothing.
Xiao Yue asked again: "I have three questions. Can you help me answer them?"
"You say."
"First," Xiao Yue said, "the twelve magical weapons of yours are not difficult to imitate. Once more sets of these magical weapons are spread out in the sect, it is expected that other sects will follow suit in three or four years. How can this be explained? ?”
"There is no solution to this matter, and there is no need to worry about it."
Li Pingan said:
"My Wan Yun Sect is not known for its weapon refining. According to my disciples, the most important thing about these twelve magical weapons made by my father is that they brought this weapon refining method and this idea into the world of practice.
"You have been running the industry in Wanyun Zongfang Town for many years, so you know this. Once a pill becomes a hot commodity, a large number of similar pills will appear on the market. 30% of the sources of these goods are from various sects, and 70% of them are from various sects. Become a member of a large number of casual cultivators or cultivating families.
"When it comes to refining tools, it's almost the same.
"Father checked some accounts in the door. The cost of a mortal flying sword is about twenty low-grade spiritual stones, and the selling price is about thirty to thirty-two low-grade spiritual stones. In addition to the manpower required to refine the magic weapon, There are not many spiritual stones that can be earned.
"And my Wan Yun Sect has three mortal dynasties and hundreds of spiritual mines. From the mining of precious materials to the sale of finished products, there is no need to purchase from outside. How much is the total cost?"
Xiao Yuefeng's eyes flashed, and she replied quickly: "The monthly payment, which only counts the labor expenses, shouldn't be much."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "I have done the math. Based on the fact that one assembly line requires six monks to work in turns, plus the cost of the minerals produced in the door, this assembly line can reduce the cost of the ordinary flying sword to seven yuan. Low-grade spiritual stones, then can our flying sword be sold for only fifteen pieces of low-grade spiritual stones? This is three to five times more than selling the ore directly before."
Xiao Yuesu turned her hand, and a small golden abacus appeared in her palm. She lowered her head and fiddled with it quickly.
She suddenly raised her head and said, "It's six and a half pieces of low-grade spiritual stones!"
"And it's far more than just flying swords," Li Ping'an said sternly, "We can sell a large number of low-priced flying swords. As long as the quality control of flying swords is tight, we can have an impact on the existing weapon refining market."
Xiao Yue smiled and said: "As expected of a wealthy businessman, this matter has great potential!"
Li Ping'an smiled and asked: "Elder, don't you still have two doubts?"
"When you said it like that, the second point of doubt is gone."
Xiao Yue said:
"The third point of doubt is, why did you take out such a magic weapon directly in front of the heads? In this case, we can't even keep it secret, and we still want to get a share of the pie."
Li Ping'an:......
Ask the boss!
The leader asked him to take it out directly!
The atmosphere was already so high at that time, what could he do.
But Li Pingan's thoughts changed, he cupped his hands to the side with a serious face, and sighed: "It's just arranged by my father."
"Oh? Why?"
"My father said that if you only seek small profits, it will not be good for the long term."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"My father also said that the power of our Wan Yun Sect cannot expand outward in a short time, but we can unite some declining friend sects around our Wan Yun Sect and become a moat to protect our Wan Yun Sect.
"Not only that, my father also said that we will only select a few magic weapons that consume a lot of money for assembly line production later, and we can't occupy the access to all the magic weapons.
"There are a lot of casual cultivators who rely on weapon refining to survive. If we do everything right, the Wan Yun Sect will be fine in recent years. But once something happens to our Wan Yun Sect, I am afraid that the wall will fall and everyone will push us against it.
"These are just my father's worries."
Xiao Yue thought carefully, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth inadvertently.
She said softly: "I really admire Uncle Dazhi's broad-mindedness and vision... He doesn't just drink and mess around every day."
"My father is like this."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"When he has nothing to do, he likes to make friends, drink and have fun. When it comes to business, he never loses control. He is also gentle and tolerant towards others. He now deliberately shows off his wealth. If he changed his figure, he would be handsome and handsome.
"And, Elder Xiao."
Xiao Yue asked: "What?"
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Although Deputy Head Mo Yi has always been in trouble with my father, my father has never regarded Deputy Head Mo Yi as a rival or enemy. My father said that everyone is just a member of Wan Yun Sect. The so-called power
, in terms of the path and fruit of immortality, it is nothing more than a floating cloud."
Xiao Yue smiled and said nothing and did not answer the question.
Li Ping'an said slowly: "Elder Xiao knows that my father will suggest to the sect that we should open a 'Zhuyun Hall' under the Miaoyun Palace to specialize in such things as weapon refining."
The smile on Xiao Yue's lips became even stronger, and she said softly: "Do you want me to stop obeying the deputy head?"
"good."
"Then did you know that Deputy Head Mo Yi can let me go back to the mountain to practice at any time?"
Xiao Yue sighed:
"My master has been in seclusion all year round, and senior brother Mo Yi has always taken good care of me. Although I am in charge of many outside products in the sect, it is only a matter of a word from the deputy head to replace me.
"I don't want to get too involved with them, but I have more than a thousand disciples under my name. If I go back to the mountain, they will have no support..."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Xiao Yue was confused: "What kind of opportunity?"
Li Pingan took out a jade talisman from his sleeve, handed it to Xiao Yue, and said with a smile:
"Give this to my father, and he will help you dispel all your doubts.
"My father said that among the many elders in the sect, only you, Elder Xiao, can take on such important tasks. Otherwise, after our magic weapon was made, shops everywhere became a mess. How could this be accomplished?
"My father's intention is not for Elder Xiao to go against the deputy head, you just need to stay out of it.
"My father does not want to be enemies with any of his fellow sects. Even if the fellow sects force him repeatedly, as long as these fellow sects still think about the interests of the sect, my father will not argue with them in the future."
Xiao Yue took the jade talisman with a smile, a gentle smile on her lips.
Her celestial sense scanned the jade talisman, but she couldn't understand the 'Eagle Language' written inside the jade talisman.
"In that case, I will rush to the main hall right away. Thank you very much, little friend."
"You're welcome," Li Ping'an stood up and bowed as a disciple. "Actually, my father is loyal by nature. I'm always afraid that he will suffer a lot. If I can get you to help me..."
"They are all doing things for the sect and helping each other."
Xiao Yue bowed to Qing Su, looked at Li Ping'an up and down, seemed to hesitate, turned around and left.
Wait for Xiao Yue to leave in the clouds.
Li Ping'an stood at the entrance of the cave with his hands behind his hands, thinking carefully in his heart.
The content written on his jade talisman was to ask his father to ask the headmaster to directly appoint Xiao Yue and make her responsible for the sales of magic weapons;
Xiao Yue seemed to have received such benefits without paying anything.
But in fact, in the ‘Eagle Language’ he wrote in the jade talisman, he told his father to praise Elder Xiao loudly and loudly in front of everyone, and then praise him as much as he wanted, and then ask the head for an order in front of everyone.
As long as this thing is done, regardless of whether Xiao Yue wants it or not, she will naturally be cut off from the small group of deputy head Mo Yi.
The struggle for power among immortals is different from the struggle for the right to inherit the throne in some historical dramas. It must be fought to the death, and once one comes to power, the loser must be killed.
The founder is alive and well, but the current leader wants to retire just to concentrate on his practice. In this case, the essence of fighting for power is fighting for power.
Make enemies a few, make friends a lot;
If there are no responders around Deputy Head Mo Yi, he himself will have no hope of fighting for power.
According to Li Ping'an's plan at this time, he would first use the magic weapon business to temporarily win over Xiao Yue, and then his subsequent target would naturally be Elder Bi, Wang Zaizhi's master.
Sometimes, when a conflict arises, a relationship is established, and when there is a relationship, there is a place to start...
Um?
Wait a minute.
Li Ping'an suddenly reacted.
Doesn’t it say that we should rely on the Father with all our strength?
How come he personally helped his father become an immortal?
Ah this...
"apprentice?"
Qingsu suddenly called.
Li Pingan put all these things behind his head and walked over with a smile: "Master, what's wrong?"
Qing Su said: "Concentrate on your practice and don't be distracted by worldly matters. Immortality is the foundation."
"Hey, yes, disciple has remembered it."
Li Ping'an lowered his head and responded. He happened to see the spirit fish kept in the lotus pond and said with a smile: "How many dishes can I prepare for you?"
Qing Su is not sure, so: "Dishes? Are you eating them in the ordinary world?"
Li Ping'an deliberately let it slip: "You'll find out later."
…
At the same time, the main peak and main hall.
The head master, who was changing his clothes, frowned and concentrated, and suddenly slapped his mouth.
Then he regained his composure and smiled, and walked out of his practice cabin.
