My magic weapons are all rule-based

"Concentrate on cultivation. When your realm improves, you will naturally understand many secrets of the world."

Xu Shan nodded and asked no more questions.

There are many secrets in this world.

The boundaries involved by people like Chen Zu were far beyond his reach.

Even if you see it, it can only affect your mentality and is meaningless.

"If you have nothing else to ask, then just take a walk in the teaching today and start practicing immediately tomorrow."

"Yes, that disciple will say goodbye first."

Xu Shan stood up to say goodbye and walked out of the courtyard.

The empty Hall of Illusion, the acting leader Qin Chengwen had already stood in the hall at some unknown time.

Seeing Xu Shan appear, he quickly saluted: "Welcome the leader to return."

Xu Shan raised his chin slightly: "No need to be formal, Chen Zu said you did a good job, please come with me for a walk."

"yes."

Xu Shan stepped out of the Fantasy Temple, followed closely by Qin Chengwen.

"Chen Zu just talked to me and said that you did a good job during my absence and nothing major happened in the sect. It seems that it was right to hand over the Huanhai Sect to you." Xu Shan put his hands behind his back. , with a plain expression of praise.

In a flash, he looked back guiltily.

Qin Chengwen smiled: "The leader is so complimentary, I should do everything."

"It is true that nothing major has happened in the teachings in recent years. There have been changes in personnel and restructuring, and the resources of the Zhenyan Teaching have been absorbed. The situation has been getting better. But it is unrealistic to say that there are no hidden dangers."

"What's the hidden danger?"

"It's still a problem left over from before. Our religion is too murderous. In addition, after annexing the True Word Sect, the outside world is not very hostile to us. Even though I have been thinking of ways to resolve it, I still heard some rumors. Many forces are extremely hostile to us. They are dissatisfied, full of fear, and even secretly clamoring for unity."

"The attitudes of these people also have a great influence on the disciples below. The disciples I teach are often targeted when competing for resources with other forces and hunting monsters. The losses in this area are not low, and they are getting worse."

"The disciples and elders in the sect also know this situation. The disciples below us are already very aggressive, and now they are being deliberately targeted... I have tried my best to suppress the elders in the sect, and they have not been affected by the emotions below."

"In the short term, you don't have to worry too much...after all, you and Chen Zu are supporting us on the stage. Firstly, there are not many forces that can compete with my sect. Secondly, others can't figure out our background. But this It’s a big hidden danger after all.”

"Then in your opinion, how should we solve it?" Xu Shan asked.

Qin Chengwen sighed softly and considered: "Liu Huaqian has left too much inertia in his work. In my opinion, if you want to reverse this trend, it would be easiest to suffer a big defeat, but this defeat may mean the annihilation of the family." It’s a disaster.”

"I don't have any good ideas. I can't let the subordinates keep doing nothing. If I do this, my family will collapse first without waiting for others to attack. I wonder what the leader has to say?" Qin Chengwen decisively threw the question back.

Xu Shan glanced at him sideways, feeling helpless in his heart.

This is indeed a dilemma.

The most indispensable thing in the world of cultivation is ruthless people. If you pretend to be cowardly or tough, you will easily get beaten.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Shan slowly spoke: "Two ways are to transfer conflicts, and to show openness and unity and cooperation."

"What's the explanation?" Qin Chengwen asked hurriedly.

"There is deep discord between the two places in the northwest. The teleportation formation is in our hands. As long as the two places recover and a large number of monks pour into the North or Northland monks pour into Xize, the attention of the local forces will naturally shift away from us. ”

"Okay! This is a good idea." Qin Chengwen said, "But if the monks in the North are very hostile to us, and if conflicts unexpectedly break out between the monks in the two places, Huanhai Sect will be the first to be affected."

"Not at all. With me here, no one would dare to attack the Huanhai Sect."

Listening to Xu Shan's understatement, Qin Chengwen's eyes suddenly widened.

How confident is the leader...

"It's just that this method is not easy to use right now. I find it troublesome. If you can't handle it, I don't have the time or energy to take care of those messy things."

"Uh..." Qin Chengwen hesitated on the spot, unable to tell whether Xu Shan was showing off or telling the truth.

Then he asked: "Then how should the leader's second method be implemented? In fact, I have followed this idea and extended goodwill to other forces, but the effect has been very little. Outsiders are very defensive."

"Your idea is right, but your approach is obviously wrong. What's the use of just showing kindness? There is the simplest way to accomplish this...split money."

"Split the money? How much does it cost? If you split less, it's useless. If you split more, don't they think we're showing cowardice?" Qin Chengwen frowned.

"That's right, so we have to think of a clever way." Xu Shan paused and then changed the topic, "How many years can the Dianxing Mine continue to be mined according to the current progress?"

"One hundred years? Maybe one hundred years will not come. Why does the leader ask this?" Qin Chengwen said in confusion, "In fact, we don't need to care too much about the Dianxing Mine now. Through restructuring and the industry of the True Word Sect, the teaching It can still be maintained well even without the Point Star Mine.”

"You are wrong. The monks below have discovered a new mineral vein through reclamation, and the grade of the ore is extremely high and can continue to be developed for thousands of years."

"Ah?" Qin Chengwen looked at Xu Shan blankly, "Why don't I know when it happened?"

Xu Shan said to himself: "But because of this, the difficulty of mining has become quite large, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and even the loss of general magic tools consumed in mining ore is amazing. It is difficult to maximize the benefits of mining with the power of our Huanhai Sect alone."

"So the Huanhai Sect decided to package the Dianxing Mine as a separate project and sell it to the monks of the entire Xize. The funds raised will be used to develop the mine and share the development dividends."

"We promise that the annual interest generated will not be less than 20%, and the interest will be returned regularly every year. The principal can be withdrawn at any time after the reservation."

Qin Chengwen's head buzzed: "No... Master, you want... Is this a joke? Even if they dare to buy it, we can't afford it!"

"Use their principal to return their interest ”

Qin Chengwen suddenly woke up: "Pass the flower? No, with such a high reward, something bad will happen sooner or later! Besides, it's impossible to do it at the beginning, who will believe us?"

Xu Shan smiled faintly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't do."

"Some are sects, and most are independent cultivators. If we can pull them all in, will my Huanhai Sect still have opponents?"

"By then, we will have a huge amount of spirit stones to support everything, use the most luxurious plans to train disciples and recruit masters, and even slowly annex and buy small sects. We should be able to make great progress in other areas and even make up for the deficit."

Qin Chengwen shook his head: "No, no, no, what if we don't keep a good check, and we can't pay off our debts in the end, what should we do if it explodes?"
