After talking to a group of senior officials, Lin Xiao did not take any measures. If he intervened in the development of the sect as soon as he came back, it would make people misunderstand that Lin Xiao was dissatisfied with the current senior officials, which would cause some people's turmoil.
In the evening, Lin Xiao held an internal banquet. In addition to the personnel on duty, most of the Tiansheng Sect's middle-level and above personnel participated. At the banquet, Lin Xiao fully affirmed their work and encouraged them verbally.
When the next day began, Lin Xiao began to inspect the sect's properties as usual. The first stop was naturally the Tiansheng Sect's mountain gate. At this time, the Tiansheng Sect's mountain gate had also raised its spiritual veins to the fourth-level high-grade level, but the mountain gate
Apart from the elixir garden, no spiritual fields have been opened.
The Spiritual Medicine Garden has also become one of the most important financial resources of the Tiansheng Sect. It has planted a large number of third- and fourth-level spiritual herbs and elixirs, and there are even many fifth-level ones.
After nearly a hundred years of development, the elixir garden has expanded to more than 2,000 acres, occupying three hilltops. The person in charge is Li Muxue, but the specific management is still in the hands of Wang Xiaoxi.
Wang Xiaoxi accompanied Lin Xiao and explained to Lin Xiao the specific matters of the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Nowadays, the main medicines of the third-level elixirs in the sect are produced in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and the fourth-level elixirs used by Daogang monks can also be produced.
Most of the main ingredients that Lin Xiao specially exchanged for Dao Ji Dan before leaving have also been successfully cultivated.
Because of the help of Lin Xiao's system, the maturation time of those main medicines has been shortened by more than half. It is estimated that they will mature in another ten to twenty years, and by that time Li Muxue's alchemy level will also be improved to the fourth level, Tiansheng
Zong can even refine Dao Ji Dan by himself.
This has also become the biggest secret of the Spiritual Medicine Garden. The Daoji Pill is a strategic pill for all the major forces. Even the major sects in Central Continent will not release it easily. Once it is exposed, the Tiansheng Sect will definitely become the target of public criticism.
So Wang Xiaoxi is still very worried. What will happen if Chunyang Palace comes to snatch it?
Lin Xiao did not answer her question, but just reassured her that even if the sky fell, he, the leader, would be the first to hold him up. What should she be afraid of?
After inspecting the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Lin Xiao went to the Scripture Depository Pavilion, the Treasure House, the Trial Ground and other places to inspect. Lin Xiao met Bai Chenxi in the Scripture Depository Pavilion.
Bai Chenxi has given up on the Tao. For a long time, his wish was to have a place to stay, and then slowly develop and avenge the Bai family. Now all wishes have been fulfilled, and many people in the Bai family have achieved Taoism.
Gang, the Wu family has nothing to worry about anymore.
Coupled with the fact that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, he stopped struggling and accepted his fate. Bai Chenxi now holds the position of elder of the Sutra Pavilion and makes alchemy from time to time, but the resources are all given to Bai Xixi. He hopes that his daughter can go away
Further away.
"Elder Bai is not young anymore, right?"
"Back to the head, I am one hundred sixty and seven years old, not many years left."
"Nonsense, Elder Bai, don't give up on yourself, you can still win again."
"Forget it, as we get older, we can no longer compete with those young people. Leave the opportunity to them."
After inspecting the Sutra Pavilion, Lin Xiao chatted with Bai Chenxi for a few words, and found that he was very angry, so he stopped talking. Each had his own personal thoughts that could not be unified, and the path of cultivation was too difficult.
Yes, it’s normal if you can’t hold on.
"Master, these are newly established reserve warehouses. According to your previous instructions, the reserve warehouse must meet the needs of the whole sect in the first and second half of the year. It has been expanding over the past few decades. The total value of the resources here is not less than 10 million.
"
"How many mysterious crystals have been accumulated in the treasure house?"
Lin Xiao asked more. After experiencing the battle of the beast tide, Lin Xiao knew how quickly the Xuanjing was consumed in the real beast tide battle.
"Zongmen, Baiwu Mountain, and Gongming City are all two million, the remaining third-level Lingshan is one million, and the daily consumption reserve is one million, a total of ten million."
"It's too little, 30 million, it must be 30 million, and it must have a certain level of middle-grade and top-grade Xuanjing. Can it be done within ten years?"
"I'm afraid it won't be easy, Master. Our current annual balance is about 500,000 Xuanjing. We won't be able to achieve this much in ten years."
"Why is the balance so small? Li Muxue and Bai Xixi are both fourth-level alchemists, so they should increase significantly, right?"
"Master, our income has increased, but our expenses have also increased. We now have more than a hundred monks in the Zifu. The annual expenditure of the Zifu monks alone is about 1.3 million Xuanjing. Daogang monk
Five, another 300,000 yuan a year, plus low-level disciples, Night Owls, etc., the annual expenditure is no less than 2.7 million yuan, and the income is only more than 3 million yuan."
"Does Chen Guonan still need blood transfusion from the sect?"
"No need, it was profitable twenty years ago, and it can bring hundreds of thousands of income to the sect every year."
"I know, I will do it according to the savings of 30 million, and I won't give you a time limit."
Lin Xiao nodded. He already knew in his mind that there was a problem with the sect's income and expenditure, but Lin Xiao didn't know exactly where it was. Before he traveled, the sect's income had exceeded two million. It would not be possible in forty years.
It only increased by this amount, and the expenditure is estimated to be much higher than before.
Later, Lin Xiao went to inspect various places such as the alchemy room. There were many more talents practicing the Four Immortal Arts. Unfortunately, there was not a single fourth-level weapon refiner. The only person who could really make a surplus now was an alchemist. Although Lin Xiao had two skills that exceeded
At the fourth level, it was impossible for Lin Xiao to become a full-time Talisman Maker or Formation Master.
After inspecting the mountain gate, Lin Xiao went to Baiwu Mountain again. After Baiwu Mountain's spiritual veins were upgraded to the fourth level, the entire mountain also expanded a lot. After many years of exploration, the area of Baiwu Mountain's spiritual fruits has not increased.
, all the increases are in the planting area of Baiwu tea.
Moreover, the cultivation disciples discovered that the reason why Baiwu Mountain Baiwu Tea has such a unique flavor is because of the fog in the mountains, so they have long since removed the suppressed Chiyang Stone, and now Baiwu Mountain has once again restored its white mist-shrouded aroma.
scene.
Baiwu tea has been carefully cultivated by Li Muxue. The highest level has reached the fourth level. However, there are too few that can reach this point. There is only one acre of planting area and less than thirty plants. It is very difficult to expand.
, the annual output is only two or three kilograms, and all of it is divided up by the Daogang monks of the sect.
The focus of Baiwu tea is on second- and third-level varieties, with high output and large scale, and there is no shortage of sales. There is basically as much as is available outside, and it has been exported to more than a dozen countries in South China.
The trouble now should be those low-grade white fog teas. The output is too high, tens of millions of kilograms per year. Nowadays, under the rule of Tian Shengzong, tea drinking has become a trend. Even ordinary people can afford it, but domestic sales are still limited.
It is only about one million pounds per year, and the real bulk of it is still taken away by the Sirius Kingdom, but the Sirius Kingdom has also reached its limit.
The ungraded White Mist Tea has already affected hundreds of thousands of mortals under the rule of the Tiansheng Sect, and they dare not cancel it easily. Now the sect's policy is to cultivate people's tea-drinking habit and begin to spread throughout Tianyun Prefecture.
There are millions of mortals in Tianyun Prefecture. If they really cultivate the habit of drinking tea, it can greatly stimulate domestic demand. Maybe Tianyun Prefecture can solve half of the inventory.
Lin Xiao didn't make any judgment on this. He only wanted to grasp the general direction of the sect and let the disciples execute the specific instructions without intervening too much.
The disciples in Baiwu Mountain had changed several times, and Lin Xiao didn't see anyone he knew, so he went to Gongming City after not staying long.
The permanent population of Gongming City has already exceeded 10,000 people. The sect still has the call to expand the city again, but Zhang Mingtang does not dare to decide easily. The cost of the previous small city has reached more than 4 million. If it is expanded again, it is estimated to be 70 to 80 yuan.
More than a million, this is not something he can take charge of.
Lin Xiao also felt that it was not time to expand yet. The position of the Tiansheng Sect was actually not stable. It was suppressed by the Chunyang Palace inside and coveted by the Thorn God outside. If it really expanded on a large scale and built Gongming City like Yujing City,
Then both of them have to take action.
Therefore, there will be no such plan before the system is upgraded again. When the system is upgraded, Lin Xiao will have the confidence to resist Chunyang Palace, and then he can take action.
Due to the huge increase in population, Gongming City has become a bit crowded, but it is precisely because of this that Gongming City looks very fragrant and lively.
Gongming City has become the distribution center for supplies in the south of Lu State, and its influence has spread to several surrounding countries, which also poses a certain challenge to the security of Gongming City. Tiansheng Sect has always stationed heavy troops here, with at least one Dao Gang monk every day.
, there are more than ten Zifu, there are no less than 500 pulse-condensing and meridian-opening monks, and if you add the disciples from various shops such as restaurants and inns, the total number will not be less than 1,000.
The income of Gongming City is also very considerable. With the skyrocketing population, land prices have also increased. However, Gongming City has not sold an inch of land. It is all rented out. The increase in rent is determined by the Tiansheng Sect.
Another point is to prevent other forces from taking root here. No matter whether they are foreign forces or families with outside disciples, they can't even think of taking root in Gongming City. Their residences and everything are rented. As long as Tiansheng Sect gives an order, they can
Just get out.
Li Muxue took Lin Xiao to visit the Shengbao Tower. This is also the sect's industry that Li Muxue is directly in charge of. The elixirs she refines are all sold in the Shengbao Tower. Shengbao Tower is undoubtedly the largest elixir shop in Gongming City.
In fact, Li Muxue and Bai Xixi have already monopolized half of Lu Kingdom's fourth-level elixirs. Each family has mature fourth-level elixirs or various spiritual materials. The first thing they think of is Gongming City, not Yujing City.
And because they have enough materials to practice, their alchemy level has been improving. Li Muxue is already a fourth-level mid-level alchemist and is on the way to the fourth-level high-level alchemy. Once she becomes a fourth-level high-level alchemist, she will be sure to refine it.
Once the Taoist Foundation is established, that's when Tiansheng Sect will truly take off again.
Of course, before Lin Xiao's system was upgraded, even if Li Muxue could refine the Taoist Pill, he would not dare to disclose it, because it would cause serious trouble. Lin Xiao felt that the breakthroughs of several subsequent disciples should be kept low-key.
After all, Tiansheng Sect already has five Dao Gang on its surface. If there are more, it will not be good for some people. (To be continued)
