"Yes. I have heard of a proverb in the secular world, which is: If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!"
"However, I know that my qualifications are mediocre and I am embarrassed to be called a national scholar. But Master Chen still treats me like this..."
"If the sect master has something to do in the future, how dare you die if you don't comply?"
…
Many elders and disciples know their own metaphysical qualifications very well.
If it weren’t for the selfless and all-out support of the Supreme Leader; if it weren’t for the super-high cultivation efficiency of 1:50 in the top-secret holy realm; if it weren’t for the massive amounts of high-grade spiritual stones and high-grade exercises and mysterious skills to help them, many of them would not be able to say that they were
Within a year, his cultivation level increased dramatically.
Even if we give them another hundred or thousand years, they probably won't be able to reach their current heights.
After all the disciples and elders left Caitianyundi, Chen Shen's first order was to let them have a good rest.
Previously in Caitianyundi, almost everyone was racing against time to practice.
Only when they are so tired that they can no longer bear it, they will take a nap for an hour or two, and after waking up, they will devote themselves to high-intensity practice again.
Now, Chen Shen gave them a big vacation. For seven days and seven nights, they could go crazy as much as they wanted, have fun as much as they wanted, and sleep as much as they wanted.
He himself is no exception——
This guy covered his head and slept for three whole days and nights.
Early the next morning, after bathing and changing clothes under Ling'er's attentive service, she looked even more refreshed.
In the next few days, Chen Shen consulted with all the Supreme Elders and formulated the future development strategy and general direction of Qingyun Sect.
For such a large sect, one cannot rely on Chen Shen to hold up the lintel with one arm, right?
If Qingyun Sect wants to develop and grow healthily, it must ensure that it has new reserves, strong backbones, far-sighted decision-makers, and talents from all walks of life.
In addition, the sect must have profit-making channels, otherwise, no matter how big the gold and silver are, it will only be a waste of money.
After everyone discussed for several days, they finally worked out a quite sound plan.
However, Chen Shen, the supreme headmaster, distributed the power equally to every supreme elder and head of the ancestral hall, and he was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
In fact, even if he has been a hands-off shopkeeper, he does not have to worry that he, the supreme headmaster, will be sidelined.
Not to mention how high the loyalty of the senior officials in the sect is now, just talking about everything this young man has done for the disciples and elders, if anyone dares to take the risk, many strong men in the sect will be able to drown him in one breath.
Kill him.
However, if Chen Shen wants to be the hands-off shopkeeper, he must find a decent reason——
Obviously, the Tianshu Earth Button Competition six and a half years later became his best excuse: "I have to retreat, and I have to prepare for the event, so that we can lead our Qingyun Sect to win the title of Earth Button!"
Well, these are Chen Shen’s original words.
As for Tianshu... this young man naturally has many ideas.
But he could only think about it by himself, but he couldn't make bold statements in front of everyone.
Because this will give people a feeling of being too ambitious and unrealistic, and the credibility of the Supreme Leader will be damaged, which is not a good thing.
However, judging from Chen Shen's current prestige within the sect, the above possibility is unlikely, but it is more likely to go to the other extreme: that is, making many elders and disciples of the sect develop arrogant and conceited mentality.
.
Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. This is not the result Chen Shen wants to see.
Every day that followed, the Qingyun Sect was prospering, and even made a series of big moves in accordance with Chen Shen's instructions before the retreat——
For example, recruiting disciples.
The rule set by Chen Shen is that before the end of the Tianshu and Earth Button Competition, the Qingyun Sect will only recruit students from the Daxia Empire in the secular world, once a year.
He did this out of selfish motives.
After all, the Daxia Empire was the place where he was born and raised, and it was his hometown.
The dignified sect needs to absorb fresh blood. This is a great opportunity for many cultivators to look forward to the stars and the moon. It is natural that Chen Shen should give priority to his own people, discover the talents that have been dusted in the secular world, and give them a bigger stage.
Secondly, it is also because the current Qingyun Sect is full of waste and needs to be revitalized, and there is no room for moths.
If the spiritual world and the secular world jointly recruit students with great fanfare, and the net is cast over a wide area, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will sneak into it.
The third reason is that the Tianshu Tournament is about to begin, and the first priority of the elders and disciples of the Qingyun Sect is to improve themselves.
The many mysterious skills they had newly learned in the Caitianyundi before were still in need of more tempering; the secrets of the unique skills that they had understood still needed to be figured out.
At this time, if too many new people are recruited and too much of the energy of the core members of the Qingyun Sect is shared, it will be a waste rather than gain.
The second big move of Qingyun Sect is related to Tianqibao Pavilion.
Taking advantage of the subtle profit difference between the cultivation world and the secular world, Chen Shen put the spiritual level mysterious pills, mysterious talismans, mysterious weapons, mysterious food and other items at the Tianqibao Pavilion for auction in exchange for spiritual stones.
For items of the same grade, the profits earned from selling them through Tianqi Bao Pavilion in the secular world are actually much higher than those in the cultivation world. After all, things are more valuable when they are rare.
However, the secular world also has its limitations. In the spiritual level, the lower-grade mysterious pills and mysterious talismans are relatively easy to sell, but the high-grade spiritual ones are a bit difficult to sell.
After all, the spiritual stones owned by the richest men in various kingdoms and empires in the secular world are, at best, at the level of a "little rich man" in the world of cultivation.
For this reason, Chen Shen specially opened a new business in Tianqibao Pavilion: Qiwu Hall.
Tianqibao Pavilion is willing to purchase at high prices some weird things that many cultivators think are weird, but in fact are of no use.
After evaluation, many "weird objects" that seemed useless could eventually be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of low-grade spiritual stones!
From the perspective of the secular world, this is tantamount to a windfall from heaven.
It didn't take long for more and more people to come to the capital of Great Xia from all over the world, just to sell the treasures that they thought were "rare and livable" for a sky-high price.
The integration of a large number of foreign guests has benefited the Great Xia Empire, and all walks of life have flourished and become more prosperous.
That's right! The current Daxia Kingdom is no longer at the level of a "kingdom".
Since the Korean Dynasty was overthrown by Chen Shen, Daxia Kingdom has replaced it and become the new Seventh Empire!
Just three years later, the prestige of the Great Xia Kingdom was even higher than that of the other six empires, and it was vaguely on par with the Ziwei Kingdom.
All of this is naturally inseparable from Chen Shen's secret support.
Chen Shen used the remaining 100 million kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones to open a "small stove" for his grandfather, second uncle, Emperor Daxia and others, and asked them to take turns to retreat in the colorful sky and clouds.
A thousand miles a day!
Previously, several empires that were envious of Daxia Kingdom and Tianqibao Pavilion were so frightened by the genuine Xuanzong realm cultivation of Chen Zangfeng, Chen Xiaohai and others that they did not even dare to fart.
The sun and the moon fly by, and time flies by.
There are only two years left before the Tianshu Diniu Competition is held.
On this day, Chen Shen came out of seclusion, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement: "The Heavenly Step, the Yang Finger, the Great Perfection!"
