In the main hall of the sect leader's residence, there was a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

Tang Tian, Yun Kong, and Chi Yuan sat facing each other.

Behind Chi Yuan, there were several elderly men sitting, presumably the future elders in charge of the Sixth Peak.

The elders in charge were considered the highest-ranking elders in Qingyue Sect, and they were usually serious and dignified.

However, in front of Chi Yuan, they appeared cautious and careful, which made Tang Tian secretly wonder how formidable this boisterous man was.

"Hahaha!"

"Brother Jin, let's start our discussion~"

Chi Yuan rubbed his fan-like palms together.

Tang Tian couldn't be bothered to correct his title and said, "Everything will follow the will of Peak Master Chi."

Chi Yuan waved his hand and said, "Good!"

After that, without even turning his head, he reached out his hand towards the back, and one of the elders in charge quickly placed a jade token in his palm.

"Hmm... Let me see, it's like this."

Chi Yuan looked at the content inside the jade token and said, "Brother Jin, once the Sixth Peak is established, you will become the highest-ranking person in terms of status."

"On par with me!"

"You can participate in making decisions regarding all matters, big and small, of the main peak."

"This includes... um... disciple allocation, resource management, architectural planning, and..."

He went on to list a bunch of things, all of which granted Tang Tian various rights.

It sounded like he basically had the same power as the peak master.

But it was obvious that Chi Yuan didn't write these things himself; he was just reciting them from memory, and he seemed unfamiliar with them.

As he was speaking, he suddenly got stuck and turned around to ask, "Why isn't the appointment of the elders in charge written here?"

The elders in charge were taken aback and said, "Peak Master, this might not be appropriate, right?"

Chi Yuan stared at them and said, "What's inappropriate about it?"

"Don't I have the right to appoint and dismiss you?"

"Do you understand what it means to be on par with me?"

"Hurry up and add it!"

The elders in charge felt extremely embarrassed, and under Chi Yuan's angry gaze, they were almost sweating.

Seeing this, Yun Kong quickly said, "Peak Uncle Chi, the appointment of the elders in charge of each peak still needs the approval of the Grand Elder."

"This is really not in accordance with the rules."

Chi Yuan's gaze turned cold and he said, "Let Li Tianhua come and talk to me in person!"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of him, huh?"

Looking at how Chi Yuan didn't even give face to the Grand Elder, Tang Tian couldn't help but be astonished.

Who exactly is this fierce character?

Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Tang Tian quickly said, "Peak Master Chi, there's no need for that."

"I'm not good at managing things, nor am I very interested in them."

"Let's talk about the specific plans."

Tang Tian was a bit speechless. This guy didn't say anything at the beginning and just laid out all the benefits in advance.

Is he afraid that I'll run away?

Chi Yuan snorted at Yun Kong a few times and then looked at Tang Tian, immediately putting on a "kind" smile again. "It's alright, don't mind them."

"I've already given you this authority."

"Well... should I show you the initial plans for the Sixth Peak now?"

Tang Tian nodded.

Then, Chi Yuan reached into his chest and took out another delicate jade token. Looking at the information inside, he said to Tang Tian, "Um... the construction of the main peak's hall requires Moonlight Stone, Cloudstone, and... and the Seven Mountains of the Unseen... the Unseen Seven Mountains Starry Wheel Wood?"

"What the hell is this?"

Tang Tian: ...

"Peak Master Chi, let me take a look personally."

If he continued stumbling through it like this, he probably wouldn't finish even after reading a million words.

Chi Yuan seemed reluctant, but in the end, he handed the jade token to Tang Tian and sat there, staring at him with an anxious expression.

Ignoring his gaze, Tang Tian looked at it himself.

Inside the jade token was a detailed plan for the construction of the Sixth Peak, very meticulous.

Various materials, resources, and their corresponding price ranges were all included, leaving no detail untouched.

If it were all written on paper, it would probably be enough to stack up a small mountain.

Such a huge amount of work made Tang Tian can't help but sigh. The elders in charge really had a difficult job!

Tang Tian quickly skimmed through the documents and then looked at the final total of funds.

Less than 90 trillion spirit jade.

He couldn't help but furrow his brow.

This is the construction of a main peak, how can there be so little?

But soon, he discovered the problem.

In this preliminary construction plan, only the most basic things were included, basically just a crude framework, extremely shabby.

"Master Chi, this..."

Tang Tian withdrew his gaze.

Master Chi had been observing Tang Tian's expression all along, and when he saw him furrow his brow, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

Upon hearing Tang Tian's words, he quickly said, "Is it too much?"

"It's fine, we can simplify it even more."

"The main hall of the peak, we can do without it. I can just find a tree hole to nest in!"

"And the living area for the elders in charge, we can just dig a hole for them to squat in. Anyway, at that level, they don't need to eat or sleep!"

Tang Tian couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Master Chi, that's not what I meant."

"What I meant was, although this is an initial plan, isn't it too simple?"

Master Chi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Tang Tian smiled, "I heard from the Young Sect Master before that you have made several different plans based on the range of investment."

"Can you let me see the others as well?"

Master Chi was stunned for a moment, looked at Yun Kong, and after receiving a positive answer from him, slowly took out another jade token from his pocket and handed it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian roughly looked at it, and indeed, this plan was more comprehensive, with many important facilities added.

But the funds also increased accordingly, reaching 130 trillion.

However, Tang Tian was not satisfied.

"Master Chi, I take the construction of the Sixth Peak very seriously."

"So, I don't want to rush through it."

"If we're going to do it, let's do it the best we can!"

"You bring out your highest budget plan, don't worry about the funds!"

Tang Tian said directly.

Master Chi was stunned for a while, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

After a long time, he leaned his head forward and asked, "Is that really what you think?"

Tang Tian nodded seriously.

Master Chi looked at Yun Kong, then turned to look at the elders in charge, and then took out another jade token and handed it to Tang Tian.

While Tang Tian was examining the information, Master Chi kept a close eye on his expression.

In the end, he saw a faint smile on Tang Tian's face.

"4 trillion."

"Not bad."

Tang Tian put down the jade token and said to Master Chi, "But I still think your plan is too conservative. I suggest you discuss it again and add everything that can be added."

"If it can be further improved, that would be even better."

"As for the issue of funds, you don't need to worry."

"I'll take care of it all."

Tang Tian said seriously.

Master Chi stared at Tang Tian blankly for a long time.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, tightly grasping Tang Tian's hand and shaking it up and down.

"My benefactor, my big brother!"

"From today onwards, you are my blood brother!"

His voice resounded like thunder.

After receiving another confirmation from Tang Tian, he directly took a few elders in charge and went out to revise the plan.

Seeing his behavior, Tang Tian couldn't help but feel surprised.

After all, he was the master of a peak, he shouldn't be so excited, right?

Seemingly sensing Tang Tian's confusion, Yun Kong shook his head and said, "Master Chi has always been like this, Tang Gongzi doesn't need to worry."

"And, for this position, he has been waiting for more than just a few decades."

"If you really count it, it's actually been several hundred years..."

Then, Yun Kong told Tang Tian some old stories about Qingyue Gate.
