Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 301 0300: Arrangement of Personnel

It was already late, and after the remaining few people finished the test, Cheng Zongyang only kept Li Xuejin, and the rest dispersed.

"Boss, do you have anything to arrange?" Li Xuejin asked.

Cheng Zongyang stood up and walked out, saying, "Please send me out."

Li Xuejin was slightly stunned, then he bowed and said, "Yes, Boss."

He knew in his heart that his boss must have something to say to him, so he immediately followed Cheng Zongyang, following behind him half a step behind.

On the way out, Cheng Zongyang said, "Originally I was going to let you go there. But in comparison, the current Immortal City needs your assistance in management, and you still have some things to do, so I let Li Yihe and Li Cungang go over there."

Li Xuejin quickly responded: "I will follow the boss's arrangements. No matter where I am, I will work for the boss. It's all the same."

Cheng Zongyang nodded and continued, "What you said before about giving up martial arts and cultivating immortals is indeed a good path. Your spiritual roots are gold, fire and earth, among which the earth spiritual root has the highest aptitude. If you choose earth-based exercises, your practice will be smoother. Regarding the exercises, the Cheng Chamber of Commerce's exercise department will be established in a few days. I also brought back a lot of exercises this time. You can choose one that suits you then."

"Thank you very much for the generous gift!" Li Xuejin was very excited.

Cheng Zongyang waved his hand and said, "This is what you deserve. I have never been stingy with my own people. In the future, cultivation resources will be distributed according to individual contributions. You don't have to worry. But I have another thing to tell you."

Li Xuejin did not interrupt and continued to listen quietly.

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang suddenly paused and turned to look at Li Xuejin:
"Regarding your revenge for the Huangfu family, I will now give you another chance to choose. Do you want me to help you avenge this, or do you want to wait until you have achieved success in cultivating immortals and then do it yourself?"

Li Xuejin was stunned. He had never expected Cheng Zongyang to mention this. He was immediately filled with gratitude and moved. After bowing, he became serious and said:
"I want to report it myself!"

In his opinion, since he would be able to take revenge in the future, it would be much more comforting for him to do it himself rather than letting Cheng Zongyang do it for him.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and continued to walk out, saying as he walked:

"Sure. You are very smart, and you have a medium spiritual root aptitude. I estimate that you will be able to get started in about three months. When you are ready to seek revenge, I will give you something to defend yourself."

"Thank you, boss!" Li Xuejin did not refuse this kindness.

When he arrived at the door, Cheng Zongyang boarded the carriage driven by Ma Yue and set off back to the Cheng residence.

Li Xuejin bowed and watched the carriage leave. He stood up only after it disappeared from his sight.

Looking at the brightly lit entrance of the base in the night, I felt a mixture of emotions.

In just over two years, everything seems to have changed dramatically.

All these changes were caused by Cheng Zongyang. He also deeply felt that his original choice was not wrong.

On West Street, the carriage that Cheng Zongyang was riding in was slowly passing through the still bustling night market.

The window of the carriage was half open, and Cheng Zongyang looked out the window at the bustling and noisy crowd outside. Looking at this nightlife scene full of life, his heart was filled with endless emotion.

Although Xiancheng today cannot compare with Zi'an County in terms of prosperity, he firmly believes that it will catch up sooner or later.

Today, there is no curfew in Xiancheng, and merchants can operate from morning till night, and their business is continuous. It can be predicted that as time goes by, more people will come to Xiancheng to settle down and develop. By then, Xiancheng will surely become more prosperous and lively, and the rules and systems he has formulated will also play their due role.

"Ma Yue." Cheng Zongyang shouted outside.

"Sir, what do you want me to do for you?" Ma Yue, who was driving the carriage, pulled the reins slightly to slow down the speed of the carriage after hearing Cheng Zongyang's call.

"Keep going, no need to stop." Cheng Zongyang first reminded him, and then slowly said: "I just want to ask you one thing. Are you willing to go to the world of immortal cultivation?"

After hearing this question, Ma Yue's face was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was any task he needed to complete in the world of immortal cultivation?
He quickly withdrew these thoughts and concentrated on driving the car, while responding: "My lord, do you have something for me to do over there?"

After hearing Ma Yue's answer, Cheng Zongyang couldn't help laughing and said, "You are still as smart as ever."

This was not the first time that Cheng Zongyang had witnessed Ma Yue's cleverness and wit.

In the past, when he was asked to bring the soul crystal to collect souls, he only needed a little guidance for many things, and he could immediately understand the key points and do things properly. It is still the same now.

He just asked a simple question, and he was able to quickly guess that there might be a task assignment. This is why he likes Ma Yue's work very much.

Hearing Cheng Zongyang's words, Ma Yue was stunned. He was filled with astonishment.

Collecting corpses?

In the past, we used that special crystal to collect souls, but now we are collecting corpses?

However, he did not immediately ask about the purpose and reason, because he knew that since Cheng Zongyang arranged it this way, there must be a reason. He just said calmly:
"Sir, if you collect these kinds of corpses, aren't you worried that someone might come looking for you? If something unexpected happens, it doesn't matter if I have the strength to deal with it, but I'm afraid it will delay your work."

Cheng Zongyang smiled slightly, as if he had expected Ma Yue to ask this question. He said slowly: "Don't worry, I have considered everything carefully. I will arrange a place for you over there to store the bodies of the immortal cultivators, similar to the charity cemetery here.

At the same time, you can find some special people as your subordinates, specifically looking for the bodies of immortal cultivators who were killed outside or inside the city and have not been claimed. I want the bodies of immortal cultivators, but only because someone needs them, and I can sell a lot of spirit stones. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke immortal cultivators, generally speaking, immortal cultivators will not attack an ordinary corpse collector.

Of course, I will build a special secret base there to store and process these bodies. This base will have multiple protections and concealment measures to ensure that it will not be easily discovered.

In addition, I will provide you with some special magic weapons and tools to help you complete the collection task better and also protect your safety."

After listening to Cheng Zongyang's explanation and arrangements, Ma Yue's doubts gradually disappeared. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sir, I understand. Since you have such a comprehensive plan, I will follow your arrangements and get this done!"

Hearing Ma Yue say this, Cheng Zongyang also smiled: "I remember that the qualifications you tested before were three spiritual bones and no spiritual roots, right?" "Yes." Ma Yue said immediately.

"Now you are also a sixth-rank warrior, so don't worry about the resources for cultivation. I will do my best to supply you. When you enter the Dao through martial arts in the future, I will also give you enough resources for cultivation. You should practice more in the next six months and see if you can reach the fifth rank."

"Yes! Thank you, boss!" Ma Yue said gratefully.

The next morning, when Cheng Zongyang continued to explain the Chamber of Commerce affairs to Cheng Zongwen in detail, Chen Kaishan came to visit.

As for Chen Kaishan's visit, he came to explain the reason why he brought those people in and apologize, and at the same time stated that his own attitude was not what he wanted, and finally told those people in charge that he wanted to visit.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care about this.

Chen Kaishan is the head of the branch of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is a dilemma for someone from the headquarters to come. Cheng Zongyang still needs Chen Kaishan to continue to be in charge of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, so he doesn't care about this matter.

"It's okay." Cheng Zongyang said with a smile: "I can understand. But I know why they want to see me. Go back and tell them that I don't have time now. Cheng's business is about to be established, and I need to follow up on these matters.

You tell them that they will not go to the Immortal Cultivation World within half a year. If they want to go there, give them half a year and each of them should prepare something worth 10 million taels of silver. No silver is required, but it can be elixirs, medicinal materials, blood and flesh of exotic animals, special items, etc.

As long as it is something that is beneficial to warriors, or something useful left behind by immortal cultivators, etc., as long as I identify it as valuable, I can use it as a bargaining chip."

After listening to this, Chen Kaishan understood what Cheng Zongyang meant. In fact, it was indeed the case, and it was useless to come now.

He immediately said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell those in charge."

He didn't stay long, knowing that Cheng Zongyang and Cheng Zongwen still had things to discuss.

After he left, Cheng Zongwen looked at Cheng Zongyang and asked worriedly, "Brother, if we bring too many people with us, will it arouse suspicion from the immortal cultivation community?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "As long as they don't actively seek death, it won't happen in the short term. There are too many ordinary people in the county over there. It's like throwing a handful of sand into the sea. Who would notice that tiny ripple?"

Cheng Zongwen then asked, "If all the innate masters go there, won't it be more beneficial for us?"

Cheng Zongyang chuckled, "It's great that you thought of this. The minimum requirement to go there is to be an innate master or a cultivator above the third level of Qi training. Before that, those people had to practice peacefully in the Immortal City to earn money and spirit stones. Therefore, those who can go now are all powerful and wealthy. I don't want silver, I just want materials of equal value, which can also be taken there to exchange for spirit stones in the future."

As Cheng Zongwen listened, he was also thinking in his heart, and gradually he understood what his cousin meant.

Cheng Zongwen exclaimed, "I see. Cousin, you are really amazing. You have taken them into account."

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly: "It's just a normal profit plan. I have mastered this path, so they either have to do as I ask, or try to tear their faces with me. Okay, don't worry about these, the Cheng Chamber of Commerce must be opened quickly."

Cheng Zongwen nodded: "Yes, we just talked about the spiritual rice. In addition to the 5,000 kilograms of spiritual rice you left in the village for the elders, there are still 45,000 kilograms. If you sell it, I'm afraid it won't be enough, right? How do you price it?"

Cheng Zongyang also returned to the original question and continued, "Immortal cultivation items are still sold with spirit crystals and spirit stones. One pound of spirit rice costs two spirit stones..."

The two continued to discuss the detailed issues of the Chamber of Commerce, especially the pricing of items for cultivation.

For some martial arts items, he could refer to the prices of existing items, but everything used by immortal cultivators needed to be priced one by one.

Although the price he set was higher than the market price in the world of immortal cultivation, this was inevitable. If they were the same price, what would he make?
Different grades of immortality elixirs, elixirs, and techniques all need to be priced differently. In addition, the bank's loan contracts, exchange rates, etc. all need to be re-determined based on the market prices in the immortality world.

While the two of them were discussing, Chen Kaishan also returned to the Chamber of Commerce.

The first thing he did was go to the backyard.

When the leaders from the other eight prefectures of Daliang saw Chen Kaishan coming back, they all gathered around him.

"How's the opening of the mountain?" one of the old men asked immediately.

After Chen Kaishan bowed to the eight people, he said, "My Lords, they have responded that they need to deal with the affairs of the Cheng's Chamber of Commerce and cannot spare the time for the time being.

But he said that he knew what the seniors meant, and there was no point in meeting them. He asked the seniors to prepare something useful to warriors worth 10 million taels in half a year, such as martial arts elixirs, medicinal materials over a hundred years old, the flesh and blood of exotic animals, and items left by immortal cultivators. Anything that he thought was useful after identification would be fine. "

"He doesn't want silver?" The other old man frowned. He had already prepared 10 million taels of silver.

Chen Kaishan shook his head: "His original intention was to get the spirit stone. But obviously we don't have it."

"Why not just go over and capture him? I don't believe he can remain indifferent in the face of death!" Another old man with a hot temper said angrily, "Wait half a year? I wonder how much he can accomplish in half a year!"

Chen Kaishan said quickly, "Absolutely not! I know that all of you are powerful people who have reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, but as I said before, no one can do anything to him in the Immortal City. Even if he is outside, he can control and use the methods of the immortal cultivators, and you are no match for him, right?"

"Okay." The old man who had spoken earlier said, "Then wait for half a minute..."

"I don't agree! I only have less than 20 years left before my death. In half a year, I can break through the mirror and extend my life!" The hot-tempered old man waved his hand and went outside: "Who will go with me? I don't believe that he is so arrogant even if I threaten the lives of his relatives and friends!"

But Chen Kaishan stood in front of the old man, his expression gloomy, and he bowed slightly and said: "Master Dong, everyone, I brought you all in against Cheng Zongyang's will. He doesn't hold me accountable, but it doesn't mean that I can let you do whatever you want here, otherwise it will still be my fault.

I still say the same thing. If you really don't want to listen to my advice, then I will go to Cheng Zongyang to make my position clear. No matter what trouble you cause, it will have nothing to do with me. In addition, if you, Master Dong, displease him with your actions, it won't matter if you die, but I'm afraid the other masters will have no chance to go there."

"Boy, you are looking for death!!" The old man surnamed Dong glared at Chen Kaishan and suddenly raised his hand to slap the other party.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a figure flashed by like a ghost, came in front of Chen Kaishan, and also raised his hand to stop the old man surnamed Dong.
