Time flies. Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Three years later, Lin Xiao jumped over the eleventh floor of the Zi Mansion and showed himself to the twelfth floor of the Zi Mansion. This year, Lin Xiao’s age was only over seventy. Lin Xiao gave himself a false increase.
It has been twenty years, but the twelfth floor of Zi Mansion, who is in his early nineties, still shocks those who know the inside story.
At this time, the overlord of the entire Tianyun Prefecture is still the Danyang Sect, but the Danyang Sect can no longer suppress the development of the Tiansheng Sect. Unless the Danyang Sect is determined to break up and attack, the Tiansheng Sect will challenge its position.
Things happen sooner or later.
However, Wang Dao was obviously not such a short-sighted person. Not only was he not hostile to the Tiansheng Sect, he actually became more and more friendly with Lin Xiaolai and personally gave Lin Xiao two copies of the Zifu monks' experience in breaking through the Daogang.
Generally speaking, this kind of summary of experience will not be given easily except to the disciples of the sect, and even the sect cannot see it, which is enough to show the king's goodwill.
At this time, Tianhaimen was also left behind by Tiansheng Sect. On the surface, there were also nine purple mansions, but Tianhaimen's Tang Taoist friends were only on the ninth floor of the purple mansion, and their high-end combat power was obviously weaker than that of Tiansheng Sect. Lin Xiao single-handedly picked them.
Two or three Zifus are not a problem.
Moreover, the six twelfth-level pulse-condensing monks of the Tiansheng Sect have also completed the polishing and settling stage, and have all retreated to break through. With Bai Jade City's previous behavior, Lin Xiao can already cover up the Kaifu Dan.
This year, Gongmingfang City finally completed the city building plan, which took more than six years, cost more than four million Xuanjing, and occupied hundreds of people. Zhou Huaiying, a monk from the Zifu, spent six years improving his cultivation level, just to
This city was finally built.
Lin Xiao personally named it Gongming City and wrote a couplet on the city gate: Just and Strict Tomorrow Holy Sect, Children and Old Men Do Not Bully Gongming City. Although it is very asymmetrical, it is catchy.
The third-level formation connected with the third-level spiritual veins in the city. On the day when it was officially connected, Lin Xiao once again held a grand gathering in Gongming City, and took out a Kaifu Pill for auction. Every sect in Tianyun Prefecture, Lu
A total of more than 10,000 people from the thirteen states of the country and monks from the state of Chen participated.
After the auction ended, many people decided to settle in Gongming City. This made Gongming City equal to Tianluo City in size. It would not take long to cross Tianluo City. The number of merchants in the city also increased to more than 500.
, some highly influential merchants have also begun to settle in Gongming City.
Gongming City's status in the Tiansheng Sect was second only to Shanmen. For this reason, Lin Xiao mobilized 800 monks to guard Gongming City, including 100 pulse-condensing monks.
And a new alchemy room, weapon refining room, talisman making room, and formation hall were set up in the city. The four Zifu monks Bai Chenxi, Sun Shiheng, Zhou Huaiying, and Zhang Youwei placed their usual working places in the city. Lin Xiao had already told
In addition to them, there must be at least two people stationed in the city at ordinary times. In addition to Bai Zichen who is officially guarding the city, there will never be less than three Zifu guards at any time, and sometimes there will be five or six people.
To the low-level disciples, the Zifu monks are a superior being. In this way, the security of Gongmingfang City is greatly improved. Even the Zifu monks do not dare to cause trouble easily, which attracts casual cultivators to live here.
Half a year later, the six disciples who were in seclusion came out, but this time the Tiansheng Sect seemed to have spent all their previous good luck. Only two of the six successfully broke through the Zi Mansion, and the remaining four failed, and three
Seriously injured, one of them died directly. Tiansheng Sect suffered heavy losses, and the joy of breaking through the Zi Mansion disappeared without a trace.
In fact, another one who failed was Bai Zihua of the Bai family. The Bai family's hope of having a fourth Zifu monk was dashed. Bai Zihua was seriously injured by the backlash of the elixir, and it would take at least three to five years for him to recover. In addition,
It will take at least ten years before he can attack the Zi Mansion again.
Moreover, the success rate of the second breakthrough will be much lower, and many people will even be left with psychological shadows. Commonly known as inner demons in the world of immortality, no matter how confident they are, they will fail.
And ordinary people have no chance to break through for the third time. Even if they have the Kaifu Pill, it is useless, because the body of the Pulse Condensing Monk cannot withstand the third impact of the Kaifu Pill. Unless he is protected by a heavy treasure, he can
Bai Zihua obviously cannot enjoy this treatment, which makes Bai Zihua's will gradually weaken.
It was useless for the three Purple Houses of the Bai family to take turns to comfort him. This failure was a huge blow to him. It can be said that it basically ruined his path. And with the qualifications and age of the three Purple Houses of the Bai family, they are very capable.
Hope to hit Daogang.
Lin Xiao did not comfort them other than giving them magical elixirs to recuperate their bodies. He knew very well that he had to rely on himself to do this kind of thing. He could not get out of his psychological shadow, and it was useless for others to say anything.
There were already eleven Zifus in the Tiansheng Sect. Lin Xiao immediately added another Zifu to Baiyu City. During the two years in Baiyucheng, Lin Xiao found that Bai Ziyu was indeed a bit weak.
After the construction of Gongming City, Jin Biao made many appointments with Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao refused them all. After finishing his work, Lin Xiao met Jin Biao in person.
"Headmaster Lin, are you finally willing to meet me, Lao Jin?"
"Elder Jin, why are you so anxious to see me?"
"Headmaster Lin, Lao Jin wants to discuss with you the share of Qianling Wine. If you reduce our share from 500,000 to 300,000, all my brothers will have to drink Northwest Wind."
"Elder Jin, is Tiansheng Sect obligated to support your brother?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, his face suddenly became frosty, and his tone suddenly turned cold. He asked back. Jin Biao felt a little uncomfortable. He had never seen such a cold Lin Xiao.
"Headmaster Lin, you can't say that. At the beginning, various businesses in Fang City were planning to join forces to suppress the Tiansheng Sect, but we risked offending them to help you represent Qianling Wine. For this reason, we fought with them more than ten times.
You have attracted a lot of people. Your Tiansheng Sect is in urgent need of resources, and it is our brothers who help you purchase and transport various resources from various places. You can't just turn your back and deny people."
"Elder Jin, don't talk about you being so great. You help us represent Qianling Wine and transport resources. It's true, but our Tiansheng Sect doesn't give you money or owe you any debt. You earn hundreds of thousands every year.
Where did the Xuanjing come from? Who made it from you? Once you change hands, you can earn hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing every year. Who can give you such a good thing except me, the Tiansheng Sect? You are just picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl and cursing your mother is
Bar"
"Headmaster Lin, you...that's not what you said at the beginning."
"What did I say?"
"you····"
"Elder Jin, you have made millions of Xuanjing from Tiansheng Sect over the past 20 years. With such easy money, you have raised a bunch of white-eyed wolves, right? Why, Tiansheng Sect doesn't even know how to distribute its own things.
Right?"
When it comes to talking nonsense, Lin Xiao is not afraid of people. Jin Biao was so insulted by Lin Xiao that he didn't know how to reply. Lin Xiao had always been extremely gentle to them in the past, and never had such a fierce tone when he fell out.
"Headmaster Lin, please do well. I, Lao Jin, can't speak, but if this continues, my brothers will really have nothing to eat. Please give me some more."
"The people under you have no food to eat. That's your problem as the boss. When my disciples of the Tiansheng Sect have no food to eat, who do I ask for help?
When Sihai Trading Company was established, I gave you lessons on how to run a business and how to be self-reliant. More than twenty years later, what you have done is nothing more than lying on Tiansheng Sect and sucking blood. If it had been done earlier,
Is planning as good as it is today?
Let me ask you, how many branches does Sihai Company have now, how many members does it have, how many business channels does it control, and how do you distribute the hundreds of thousands of profits every year? Do you blame me if you use the profits to expand the size of the business?"
Lin Xiao continued to question Jin Biao with a sneer. According to the profits of Sihai Company, if millions of Xuanjing were really spent on the company for more than 20 years, Sihai Company should become the largest company in Chen and Lu. But they
No, the current Sihai Company is not much different from that of more than 20 years ago. It has been resting on its laurels and has been relying on the share of Qianling Wine given by Tiansheng Sect to survive.
Jin Biao couldn't answer Lin Xiao's questions at all, because he gave half of his annual profits to Cishen, and he didn't dare not give it. If half of the profits were missing, the rest would be enough to give the company's employees their monthly salary.
There is no spare money, but can he say this?
"Master Lin, I, I am confused. I have failed Master Lin's great trust. Please give me another chance. I will definitely not dare to spend money recklessly in the future. I will definitely develop my business."
"There is only one chance. How can there be so many opportunities? I remember I told you before that doing things in this world is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you go further, the sky will be brighter. If you stand still, it will be an abyss. Your business name in the world is not my destiny.
Disciples of the Holy Sect, I have no obligation to be responsible for you, and I tell you that from now on, the shares of Sihai Company will be reduced by 10,000 shares every year until there are only 100,000 shares.
If you, Jin Biao, are ambitious and start to reorganize the company now, eliminate the shortcomings, and still have the opportunity to strengthen the company, if you are still as ignorant as before, resting on the credit of the past and resting on your laurels, that is the way to your own destruction."
"Headmaster Lin, I..."
"Finally, I'll teach you a lesson. Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman keeps improving. Think carefully about what I said. If you understand something, do it. If you don't understand it, treat it as someone Lin's fart and send the guests off."
Lin Xiao called out one last time. A disciple came in and asked Jin Biao to leave. Jin Biao was so miserable that he had no choice but to leave. Outside the door, people from Sihai Trading Company were already waiting. Seeing Jin Biao come out, they immediately surrounded him.
Go up.
"Let's talk about it when we get back"
Jin Biao waved his hand, and the others quickly left and returned to the company's headquarters. Only then did Jin Biao recount the conversation between him and Lin Xiao.
"The Lin surname is too much. If it weren't for our Sihai Trading Company, Tiansheng Sect would not be what it is today. Now they have turned against each other. Boss, you can't let it go like this."
"Boss, I think what Boss Lin said makes sense. 70% of our business every year depends on Tiansheng Sect. What if Tiansheng Sect disappears one day?"
"There's a bullshit truth. We have hard work without credit. The one named Lin is just trying to burn bridges. Boss, let's not ask him. Let's see what Tiansheng Sect can do without our Sihai Company to help him collect resources."
"Shut up, everyone. Don't do anything for now. I'm going out and I'll be back in three to five days."
Jin Biao shouted angrily, he understood that the Sihai Company was at a critical stage, and he had to go see Ling Ling Yi again.
