Chapter 159: Gongming City
Time is like an arrow, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, three years later, Lin Xiao skipped the eleventh floor of the Purple Mansion and showed people on the twelfth floor of the Purple Mansion, this year Lin Xiao's age only broke seventy, Lin Xiao added twenty years to himself, but the twelfth layer of the Purple Mansion in his early nineties still shocked those who knew the inside story.
At this time, the overlord of the entire Tianyun Prefecture is still the Danyang Sect, but the Danyang Sect can no longer suppress the development of the Heavenly Saint Sect, unless the Danyang Sect is willing to make up its mind to tear its face and attack the sect, otherwise it will be a matter of time before the Heavenly Saint Sect challenges its position.
However, Wang Dao was obviously not such a short-sighted person, not only was he not hostile to the Heavenly Saint Sect, but he became more and more friendly to Lin Xiaolai, and personally sent two Purple Mansion cultivators' experience of breaking through Dao Gang to Lin Xiao.
Generally speaking, this kind of experience summary will not be given easily except for the disciples of this sect, and even no one in this sect can see it, which is enough to show the royal way's goodwill.
At this time, Tianhaimen was also left behind by the Heavenly Saint Sect, and there were also nine Purple Mansions on the bright side, but Tang Daoyou of Tianhai Gate was only at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, and the high-end combat power was already significantly weaker than that of the Heavenly Saint Sect, so it was not a problem for Lin Xiao to pick two or three of them alone.
Moreover, the six condensation vein twelve-layer cultivators of the Heavenly Saint Sect had also completed the polishing and precipitation stage, and they all broke through the retreat, and with the previous behavior of Bai Yucheng, Lin Xiao could already cover up for the Kaifu Dan.
This year, Gongmingfang City finally completed the city building plan, it took more than six years before and after, spent more than 4 million Xuanjing, occupied more than hundreds of people, and Zhou Huaiying, a monk of the Purple Mansion, spent six years to cultivate without an inch, just for this city, and finally built.
Lin Xiao personally named Gongming City, and wrote a couplet on the city gate: Justice and strictness of the Holy Sect of Tomorrow, Tong Su did not deceive Gongming City, although it was very asymmetrical, but it was catchy.
On the day when the third-order great array hooked up the third-order spiritual veins in the city, and officially closed, Lin Xiao once again held a huge event in Gongming City, and took out a Kaifu Pill to auction, and more than 10,000 people participated in the various sects of Tianyun Prefecture, the thirteen states of Lu State and the monks of Chen State.
By the end of the auction, many people decided to settle in Komeito City, which made the scale of Komeito City equal to that of Tianluo City, and it would not take long to surpass Tianluo City, and the merchants in the city also increased to more than five hundred, and some merchants with huge influence also began to settle in Komeito City.
Gongming City's status in the Heavenly Saint Sect was second only to the Mountain Gate, so Lin Xiao mobilized eight hundred monks to guard Gongming City, including one hundred Condensing Vein Monks.
And set up a new alchemy room, refining room, talisman room, formation hall in the city, Bai Chenxi, Sun Shiheng, Zhou Huaiying, Zhang Youwei The four Zifu monks put their usual work place in the city, Lin Xiao has already told them that there must be at least two people stationed in the city, plus Bai Zichen, who is officially guarded, there will be no less than three Zifu guards anytime and anywhere, and there are five or six people at most.
For low-level disciples, the Purple Mansion Monk is a high-ranking existence, and in this way, the security of Gongmingfang City has been greatly improved, and even the Purple Mansion Monk does not dare to make trouble easily, which is even more attractive to the casual cultivators to live here.
Half a year later, the six disciples of the retreat came out, but this time the Heavenly Saint Sect seemed to have spent all of their previous good luck, only two of the six people succeeded in breaking through the Purple Mansion, and the remaining four failed, and three were seriously injured, and one fell directly, the Heavenly Saint Sect suffered heavy losses, and the joy of breaking through the Purple Mansion disappeared without a trace.
In fact, there is another failure is Bai Zihua of the Bai family, the hope of the Bai family to have a fourth Purple Mansion monk was dashed, Bai Zihua was eaten by the pill, he was seriously injured, and it will take at least three or five years of recuperation to recover, plus re-polishing and precipitation, it will take at least ten years for him to hit the Purple Mansion again.
And the success rate of the second breakthrough will be reduced a lot, and even many people will leave a psychological shadow, and the immortal cultivation world is commonly known as the heart demon, no matter how big the grasp is, it will fail.
And ordinary people don't have a chance to break through for the third time, even if they have Kaifu Dan, it's useless, because the body of the Condensing Vein Cultivator can't withstand the third impact of the medicinal effect of Kaifu Dan, unless there is a heavy treasure to protect it, but Bai Zihua obviously can't enjoy this treatment, which makes Bai Zihua's will gradually depressed.
It was useless for the three purple mansions of the Bai family to take turns to persuade him, this time the failure hit him too hard, it can be said that his path was basically ruined, and with the qualifications and age of the three purple mansions of the Bai family, they are very promising to impact Daogang.
Lin Xiao didn't comfort them except for taking the panacea to recuperate their bodies, he knew that this kind of thing had to rely on himself, he couldn't get out of the psychological shadow, and it was useless for others to say that it was useless.
There were already eleven purple mansions on the face of the Heavenly Saint Sect, Lin Xiao immediately added a purple mansion to the side of Baiyu City, and in the two years in Baiyucheng, Lin Xiao found that Bai Ziyu was indeed a little weak.
After the construction of Gongming City, Jin Biao made many appointments to meet Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao refused, and when he was done with things, Lin Xiao personally met Jin Biao.
"Master Lin, you are finally willing to see my old gold"
"Elder Jin, why are you in such a hurry to see me?"
"Master Lin, Lao Jin wants to discuss with you about the share of Qianling Wine, you reduce our share from 500,000 to 300,000, my brothers are going to drink the Northwest Wind"
"Elder Jin, is the Heavenly Saint Sect obligated to provide for your brother?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, his face suddenly became cold, and his tone suddenly became cold, and he asked rhetorically, Jin Biao was a little uncomfortable, he had never seen such a cold Lin Xiao.
"Master Lin, you can't say that, at the beginning, the merchants in Fang City were ready to join forces to suppress the Heavenly Saint Sect, but we risked offending them to help you act as an agent for Qianling Wine, and we fought with them more than a dozen times for this, and many people died, your Heavenly Saint Sect is in urgent need of resources for development, and it is also our brothers who help you buy and transport various resources from all over the country, you can't just turn your face and deny people."
"Elder Jin, don't say that you are so great, you help us act as an agent for Qianling Wine, and it is right to transport resources, but didn't our Heavenly Saint Sect give you money, did you owe you any money, where did you get the hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing you earn every year, and who did you earn it from, as soon as you change hands, you will earn hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing every year, this kind of good thing can be given to you except for my Heavenly Saint Sect, you are going to pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother, right?"
"Master Lin, you... That's not what you said in the first place."
"What did I say in the first place?"
"You..."
"Elder Jin, for more than twenty years, you have earned millions of Xuanjing from the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the money that is so easy to earn is to raise a group of white-eyed wolves, right, why, the Heavenly Saint Sect doesn't even have the right to distribute its own things?"
In terms of playing tricks, Lin Xiao is not afraid of people, Jin Biao was so frightened by Lin Xiao that he didn't know how to answer, Lin Xiao was always extremely gentle to them in the past, and there was never such a fierce tone when turning his face.
"Master Lin, you can do well, my old Jin can't speak, but if this continues, my brothers really have nothing to eat, so you can give some more shares."
"The people under my hands don't have anything to eat, that's your problem as the boss, when my Heavenly Saint Sect disciples have no food, who have I begged?
When the Four Seas Merchant was established, I gave you a lesson, teaching you how to run a business, how to be self-reliant, more than 20 years have passed, what have you done is nothing more than lying on the body of the Heavenly Saint Sect to suck blood, if you had made a plan earlier, as for today's level.
Let me ask you, how many strongholds, how many members, how many trade channels do you control, how do you distribute the hundreds of thousands of profits every year, and do you blame me for using the profits to expand the scale of the business?"
Lin Xiao continued to sneer and questioned Jin Biao, according to the profits of the Four Seas Firm, millions of Xuanjing for more than twenty years, if it really smashed on the firm, the Four Seas Merchant should have become the largest merchant in Chen and Lu, but they didn't, the current Four Seas Merchant is not much different from more than twenty years ago, they have been eating their old books, and they have been relying on the share of Thousand Spirit Liquor given by the Heavenly Saint Sect to live.
And Jin Biao couldn't answer Lin Xiao's question at all, because he gave half of the annual profits to the Thorn God, and he didn't dare not give it, half of the profits were missing, and the rest of the monthly payments to the employees of the business were about the same, how could he have any money left, but could he say this?
"Master Lin, I, I'm confused, I have the trust of Master Lin, beg Master Lin to give me another chance, I will definitely not dare to spend money in the future, I will definitely develop the business"
"There is only one chance, where are there so many opportunities, I remember I told you before, acting in this world is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, further open the sea and the sky, and stand still, that is the abyss, you Four Seas Merchant is not a disciple of my Heavenly Saint Sect, I have no obligation to be responsible for you, and I tell you that in the future, the share of the Four Seas Merchant will be reduced by 10,000 every year until there are only 100,000 copies.
If you Jin Biao have the ambition to start reorganizing the business now, get rid of the shortcomings, and have a chance to grow the business, if you are still as muddy as before, lying on the credit book of the past and eating the old book, it is the way to bring about your own destruction."
"Master Lin, I..."
"Finally, I will teach you a lesson, Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-improving, ponder my sentence carefully, do it if you have a comprehension, and if you don't comprehend, you will be a fart and send off a guest."
Lin Xiao finally shouted, a disciple came in and asked Jin Biao to leave, Jin Biao, who couldn't tell the bitterness, had to leave, outside the door, the people of the Four Seas were already waiting, and when they saw Jin Biao coming out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Let's talk about it later"
Jin Biao waved his hand, and several people left quickly, and when they returned to the station, Jin Biao told him about the conversation with Lin Xiao.
"The surname Lin is too much, if it weren't for our business name from all over the world, how could the Heavenly Saint Sect be today, and he would turn his face and deny people for a while, boss, you can't count it like this."
"Boss, but I think what Master Lin said seems to have some truth, seventy percent of our annual business depends on the Heavenly Saint Sect, what if one day the Heavenly Saint Sect is gone?"
"There is a fart truth, we have no merit and hard work, the surname Lin is to cross the river and tear down the bridge, boss, let's not ask him, see what the Heavenly Saint Sect can do without our merchants from all over the world to help him collect resources"
"Shut up for me, don't move anything first, I'll go out once, and I'll be back in three or five days"
Jin Biao shouted angrily, he understood that the time of life and death had come for the Four Seas Merchants, and he had to see Zero Zero One again.
