Chapter 244: Behemoth
After talking to a high-level officer, 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 high-level leaders, which would cause turmoil in the hearts of some people.
In the evening, Lin Xiao held an internal banquet, in addition to the personnel on duty, most of the middle-level and above personnel of the Heavenly Saint Sect participated, and at the banquet, Lin Xiao fully affirmed their work and verbally encouraged them.
Waiting until the next day, Lin Xiao began to inspect the property of the sect according to his previous habits, and the first stop was naturally the mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect, at this time, the mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect also raised the spiritual vein to the level of the fourth-order upper grade, but in addition to the elixir garden, there was no spiritual field in the mountain gate.
And the Elixir Garden has also become one of the most important sources of wealth for the Heavenly Saint Sect, and a large number of third-order and fourth-order spiritual herbs and elixirs have been planted in it, and even there are quite a few fifth-order ones.
After nearly 100 years of development, the scale of the Elixir Garden has expanded to more than 2,000 acres, occupying three hills, and 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 Elixir Garden, now the main medicines of the third-order pills in the sect are all produced in the Elixir Garden, and the fourth-order pills used by Daogang monks can also produce a large part, and when Lin Xiao left, he specially exchanged several flavors of the main medicine of the Daoji Dan and has 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, and it is estimated that it will be mature in another one or two decades, and at that time, Li Muxue's alchemy level can also be improved to the fourth-order upper grade, and the Heavenly Saint Sect can even refine Dao Ji Dan by itself.
This is also the biggest secret of the Elixir Garden, Dao Ji Dan is the strategic elixir of the major forces, even those big sects in the Central Continent will not be easily released, once exposed, the Heavenly Saint Sect will definitely become the target of everyone, so Wang Xiaoxi is still very worried, what if the Pure Yang Palace comes to snatch it at that time?
Lin Xiao didn't answer her question, but just reassured her that when the sky falls, he will have to be the head of the house to support her first, what are you afraid of?
After inspecting the Elixir Garden, Lin Xiao went to the Scripture Pavilion, the treasure house, the trial ground and other places to inspect, and saw Bai Chenxi in the Scripture Pavilion Lin Xiao.
Bai Chenxi has already given up on his own path, for a long time, his wish is to have a place to stay, and then slowly develop, to avenge the Bai family, now all the wishes have been completed, many people in the Bai family have achieved Daogang, and the Wu family is no longer worried.
In addition, the cultivation has entered a bottleneck, so he will no longer struggle and accept his fate, Bai Chenxi is now hanging the position of the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he also alchemy from time to time, but the resources are all given to Bai Xi, he hopes that this daughter can go further.
"Elder Bai is not too young, right?"
"Back to the master, one hundred and sixty years old and seven, not many years"
"Nonsense, Elder Bai don't give up on himself, he can still win again"
"Forget it, people are old, they can't win those young people, leave the opportunity to them"
After inspecting the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Xiao chatted with Bai Chenxi for a few words, and found that he was very deep in twilight, so he didn't say more, each had his own personal thoughts, and he couldn't be unified, and the path of cultivation was too hard, and it was normal to not be able to persevere.
"Master, these are newly established reserve warehouses, according to your previous instructions, the reserve warehouses must meet the needs of the entire sect in the first half of the year, they have been expanding for decades, and the total value of resources here is not less than ten million"
"How much Xuanjing has accumulated in the treasure house?"
Lin Xiao asked more, after experiencing the battle of the beast tide, Lin Xiao knew how quickly the real beast tide battle was fought, and how quickly the Xuanjing was consumed.
"Zongmen, Baiwu Mountain, and Gongming City are all two million, and the rest of the third-order spiritual mountains are 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 there must be a certain amount of medium quality, high-grade Xuanjing, can it be done within ten years?"
"I'm afraid it's not easy, boss, our annual balance is about 500,000 Xuanjing, and we can't do so much in ten years."
"Why is the balance so small, Li Muxue and Bai Xixi are both fourth-order alchemists, it should be greatly increased, right?"
"Master, our income has increased, but the expenditure has also increased, we now have more than a hundred Purple Mansion monks, the annual expenditure of the Purple Mansion monks alone is about 1.3 million Xuanjing, five Daogang monks, and another 300,000 a year, plus low-level disciples, night owls, etc., the annual expenditure is not less than 2.7 million, and the income is more than 3 million."
"Does Chen Guonan still need a blood transfusion from the sect?"
"No need, you could have made a profit twenty years ago, and you can bring hundreds of thousands of income to the sect every year."
"I know, I'll 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 heart that there was a little problem with the income and expenditure of the sect, but where it was, Lin Xiao didn't know yet, the income of the sect had exceeded two million before he traveled, and it was impossible to increase it only so much in forty years, and the expenditure was estimated to have increased a lot more than before.
Then Lin Xiao went to the alchemy room and other places to inspect, there are many more talents in cultivating the four arts of immortals, but unfortunately there is no fourth-order refiner, and now the one who can really have more than one is an alchemist, although Lin Xiao has two skills that exceed the fourth-order, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to become a full-time talisman maker or array mage.
After the inspection of the mountain gate, Lin Xiao went to Baiwu Mountain again, after Baiwu Mountain was promoted to the fourth order of the spirit vein, the whole mountain also expanded a lot, after years of exploration, the spiritual fruit area of Baiwu Mountain did not increase again, and the planting area of Baiwu tea increased.
Moreover, the planting disciples found that the reason why Baiwu Mountain Baiwu Tea has such a unique taste is because of the fog in this mountain, so the suppressed Chiyang Stone has already been taken away, and now Baiwu Mountain has once again restored the scene of white mist.
After Li Muxue's careful cultivation, the highest level of white fog tea has reached the fourth-order level, but there are too few people who can reach this point, only one acre of planting area, less than thirty plants, it is very difficult to expand, and the annual output is only two or three catties, and all of them have been divided by the Daogang monks of the sect.
Baiwu tea focuses on the second and third order varieties, with high yield, large scale, and there is no shortage of sales.
Now the trouble should be those white mist teas without grade, the output is too high, tens of millions of catties a year, such as today's tea drinking trend under the rule of the Holy Sect has become a trend, even mortals can afford to drink, but the domestic sales are only about one million catties a year, and the real big head is still underwritten by the Wolf Country, but the Wolf Country has also reached the limit.
The white mist tea without grade has already involved hundreds of thousands of mortals under the rule of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and it is easy not to dare to revoke it, and now the sect's policy is to cultivate people's habit of drinking tea, and it has begun to spread to the entire Tianyun Prefecture.
There are millions of mortals in the entire Tianyun Prefecture, if you really cultivate the habit of drinking tea, you can greatly stimulate domestic demand, maybe Tianyun Prefecture can solve half of the inventory.
Lin Xiao didn't make any judgments about this, he just had to grasp the general direction of the sect, and the specific implementation was carried out by the disciples, and he couldn't interfere too much.
The disciples of Baiwu Mountain had already changed several times, and Lin Xiao hadn't seen a single acquaintance, so he didn't stay long before going to Gongming City.
The permanent population of Gongming City has already broken the 10,000 mark, and the sect still has a call to expand the city again, but Zhang Mingtang did not dare to decide easily, the previous small city cost reached more than four million, and if it was expanded again, it was estimated that it would be more than seven or eight million, which was not something he could do.
Lin Xiao also felt that it was not yet time to expand, the position of the Heavenly Saint Sect was actually not stable, there was the suppression of the Pure Yang Palace inside, and the thorn gods coveted it outside, if it was really a large-scale expansion and built Gongming City into the same as the Jade Capital City, then these two would have to start.
Therefore, there will be no such plan until the system is upgraded again, and when the system is upgraded, Lin Xiao will have the confidence to resist the Pure Yang Palace, and then he can do it.
Komeito City has become a little crowded because of the large increase in population, but it is precisely because of this that it looks very fragrant and lively.
Gongming City has become a material distribution center in the south of the Lu Kingdom, and its influence has expanded to several surrounding countries, which has also challenged the security of Gongming City to a certain extent, and the Heavenly Saint Sect has been stationed here with heavy troops, and there will be at least one Daogang monk every day, more than ten Purple Mansions, and no less than five hundred condensing vein opening monks, if you add the disciples of various shops such as restaurants and inns, the total number will not be less than a thousand.
And the income of Gongming City is also very considerable, with the population skyrocketing, the land price has also increased, and Gongming City has not sold an inch of land, all of it is rented, and the rent increase is all calculated by the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Another point is to prevent other forces from taking root here, whether it is an external force or a family of sect disciples outside, don't want to take root in Gongming City, their residence or everything is rented, as long as the Heavenly Saint Sect gives an order, they will have to get out.
Li Muxue took Lin Xiao to inspect the Shengbao Building, which is also the sect industry that Li Muxue is directly in charge of, and the pills she refines are all sold in the Shengbao Building, which is undoubtedly the largest pill shop in Gongming City.
In fact, Li Muxue and Bai Xixi had already monopolized half of the fourth-order elixir of the Lu Kingdom, and each family had mature fourth-order elixirs or various spiritual materials, and the first thing that came to mind was Gongming City, not Yujing City.
And because there are enough materials to practice, the alchemy level of the two has been improving, Li Muxue is already a fourth-order middle-grade alchemist, and is impacting the fourth-order high-grade alchemist, once she achieves a fourth-order high-grade alchemist, she will be sure to refine the Dao Ji Dan, and that is when the Heavenly Saint Sect will really take off again.
Of course, before Lin Xiao's system was upgraded, even if Li Muxue was able to refine Dao Ji Dan, he didn't dare to make it public, because that would cause a big disaster, and Lin Xiao felt that the breakthrough of several disciples should be low-key, after all, there were already five Dao Gangs on the face of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and no matter how many there were, it would not be good for some people.
