Leaving the branch, Jin Ziming climbed the mountain while admiring the green shoots in the cold spring and the surging river outside the cliff.

Walk across a wooden bridge and see a three-story bamboo building in front of you.

In the courtyard, there are many stones picked up from the river, with different shapes, colors and patterns, which are quite elegant.

Jin Ziming didn't use his soul to detect, and went straight to the private room on the third floor, where a man greeted him and said with a smile:

"Ziming, long time no see!"

"Who am I, it turned out to be you, Lao Xiao, why are you so mysterious?"

"It's a long story, let's sit down first, let's talk while we eat." Xiao Guangsheng patted him on the shoulder.

The mountain chicken, braised with mushrooms and bamboo shoots in a pot, is almost ripe and has an enticing aroma.

The two sat down, Xiao Guangsheng poured him a glass of spirit wine, and said:

"Ziming, come and try it, I've been in Beikuizhou recently, and I think this wine is good, so I collected some."

Jin Ziming took a sip, then raised his head and drank it, and praised:

"It's really good, the entrance is a little strong, but the aftertaste is sweet and mellow, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the wine is good!"

"I'll leave you a few bottles later, take them home and drink them slowly."

"Okay, in addition to cultivation, I'm also interested in eating and drinking.

Old Xiao, you have been transferred to the north? Jin Ziming asked curiously.

"I've left the sect." Xiao Guangsheng stared at him and said.

"Ah, what's the matter, weren't you promoted back to headquarters?" He couldn't help but be taken aback.

"I decided to leave on my own.

You should have heard that Elder Yu Zekun of Spirit Rune Peak is proficient in equipment manufacturing and the way of runes, and has a particularly sensitive sense of smell for new technologies.

He pulled Xu Ganqing, the boss of our Holy Sword Peak, and got the investment and recommendation of the Huayu Gate of the Foxing Realm, and built a new second-level sect under the Rune Hall, called 'Shuiyang Pavilion'. ”

"Yes, I heard that."

"Lao Xu found me and invited me to help him, I thought about it for a while and felt that it would be more promising to go there.

An old man like me, as soon as he applied for resignation, the sect approved it.

I have been appointed by the Water Pavilion as the Great Elder of Xijinzhou to oversee all operations. ”

"It's nice to be in charge of a continent." Jin Ziming congratulated.

"To be honest, I came here this time to talk to you on the entrustment of Lao Xu.

His goal is too big now to come and talk to you in person. ”

"What are you talking to me about, let me go to you too?" Jin Ziming quipped.

"Yes, he and I do want to invite you to the Water Pavilion." Xiao Guangsheng is colorful.

"I'm doing well, why bother?"

"Ziming, you are now only the hall master of the Holy Sword Hall of the Thundering Branch.

In front of you, there are also the Grand Elders, Second Elders, and some senior hall masters of each branch.

Coupled with the bigwigs at the headquarters, there are at least more than 2,000 people.

Those of us who cultivate the truth have a long life.

With these old people holding the seats, if you want to get ahead, I'm afraid you will have to wait hundreds of years before you have a chance. ”

Jin Ziming bowed his head slightly and said:

"What you said is the truth, but I don't have much interest in the position, I just want to cultivate hard and keep improving my cultivation."

"Of course, the ultimate goal of a monk is to practice.

Ziming, have you ever thought about it, people in different positions have very different resources, how can the cultivation effect be the same?

What you get is really different from the top two hundred elders in the sect.

Your current authority can only see the Yuan Infant Exercises, or a small number of Fusion Period Secrets.

But the elders at the top of the rankings are all looking at the Merge and Mahayana realm exercises.

The top-grade spirit stones, extraterritorial spirit ores, and rare elixirs they obtained are not what you can imagine.

If the Water Pavilion provides you with such cultivation conditions, with your talent and qualifications, how fast will you improve? ”

Jin Ziming didn't say anything and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Guangsheng was not in a hurry, he ate meat and drank wine by himself, not to disturb his thinking.

"That's just an ordinary second-level sect, and the Lingyun sect is undoubtedly the top spot among the second-level sects.

I don't know how many years it will take for Shuiyang Pavilion to develop to the level of the sect today, why should I give up the high and seek the low? ”

"The Water Pavilion has just been established, and the foundation is indeed insufficient, but they already have a complete plan to build themselves into a first-class sect.

You haven't joined yet, and there are strategic plans that I'm not in a position to tell you right now.

At present, there are only four schools in the Hongqing world that can independently develop mining machines.

And Shuiyang Pavilion also has this ability, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will become the fifth, do you think it can grow quickly? ”

"Impossible, I heard that Shuiyang Pavilion is a product of the Lingyun faction?"

"For the time being, this is the case, but the self-developed terminal equipment will be available soon.

Even if it's a host, I'm afraid it won't be a few years before it will be launched.

At that time, it is natural to use a full set of equipment produced by itself to meet the standard. ”

"The mining machine system is so complex, how can you launch your own product so quickly?"

"I don't know, it may be that Elder Yu Zekun and the people he brought out are very good and have very strong technical strength.

Oh, I should call him the Pavilion Master, he is now the head of the Water Pavilion. ”

Jin Ziming didn't know if Lao Xiao didn't know more details, or if he didn't want to talk more.

After drinking two more glasses, Jin Ziming asked in a deep voice:

"What will I do if I come here?"

"Although Lao Xu is optimistic about you, you haven't been the branch hall master for long.

He wants you to go to the largest branch of the Water Yang Pavilion, the Xuliao branch of Nanfeng Continent, and be the second elder there.

That Great Elder was easy-going and had a good reputation in the cultivation realm.

But he was not born in business, and he needs you to help him in the past to make the business bigger.

Once you make the Xuliao Branch, Lao Xu will let you be the boss of a continent, and even a realm is possible.

These are his exact words, but they are not nonsense. ”

Seeing that Jin Ziming didn't answer, Xiao Guangsheng said again:

"After you take over as the hall master, you will return to the Holy Sword Peak for meetings every few years, you should have seen a lot of hall masters from other branches, right?"

"yes, I know a lot."

"I'm afraid you don't know, many of them have already agreed to come to the Water Pavilion."

"Impossible, right?" Jin Ziming was shocked again.

"It's true, I won't lie to you, it's good if you've heard this, don't go out and say it, there will be trouble."

"Don't worry, Old Xiao.

So what do I need to do with Xuliao's business, so that Lao Xu will be satisfied? ”

"He hopes that within five years, you can make this largest division ten times the size of its current business."

"What? How can such high expectations be accomplished? ”

"Don't worry, do you know Xu Liao's current income?"

Xiao Guangsheng talked about the data, and Jin Ziming was a little relieved, it turned out that the base was so small, and it was not impossible to multiply it tenfold.

The two chatted while drinking, and Jin Ziming asked a lot of questions about Shuiyang Pavilion and Xuliao Branch.

Lao Xiao obviously did his homework before leaving, and he replied in detail one by one.

"I suggest you give it a try, you're still young anyway, so you might as well take a gamble.

Even if it doesn't work, there is still the capital to make a comeback, and in my opinion, the probability of success is quite high. ”

"Old Xiao, I can't answer you now, I need to think about it again."

"Well, I understand, think for yourself.

When you have the letter of approval, I will send it to this address through the world, and I will receive it. ”

"Okay."

"Ziming, I will return to Beikui tomorrow, and I will come to Xijin soon to take office, I hope we can work together again."

Jin Ziming returned to his small courtyard and fell into deep thought.

Now the Leiming branch has a very poor relationship with the broken hall master of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and the Great Elder does not trust and support him as much as Liu Yangjun.

To be honest, he's not quite happy here.

And as Lao Xiao said, if you want to climb up step by step in the Lingyun faction, you don't know the year of the monkey.

Although he didn't care about his position, he cared about the amount and quality of his cultivation resources.

He is young, although he is only in the middle stage of Jindan, his combat power is super strong.

If you lose your bet, you can start all over again.

Whether it's doing casual cultivation, joining other powerful sects, or even going to Honghuangzhou to find Chen, it won't be too bad.

The Water Pavilion basically copied the operation mode of the Lingyun Sect, and for him, there was no problem of adaptation at all.

And Lao Xiao gave him many familiar names, and it seems to be quite good to work with those brothers.

And Xu Ganqing, who appreciates himself, holds great power, and it is really possible that with his full support, he will do a great job.

On the lover's side, Fairy Ye has a cold personality and has no feelings about the ups and downs of promotion, and most of them will not intervene.

And the demon girl believes in herself unconditionally, and she will definitely not object.

In the end, there is only one problem left, and it is possible to be more certain to complete Lao Xu's performance requirements for himself, which requires careful analysis and reasoning.

The next day, he took a day off and performed alone in the courtyard.

Jin Ziming took Thundering City as a reference, taking into account the capabilities, relationships and products of Shuiyangge, and constantly discounted the sales data.

Then he started thinking about what other risks could have a big impact on the outcome.

The end result was very exciting for him.

Even if you use a very cautious and conservative way to calculate, you are still about 80% sure that you will achieve your goal.

If you're lucky, you can even overdo it early.

With such a high success rate, those risks are negligible, and in summary, he can go for it.

Jin Ziming made up his mind and finished the tea comfortably.

Out of respect for the future Taoist couple, he repaired a letter and entrusted the Tianxia Association to send it to Ye Ranyi to ask for her opinion.

Many years later, when Jin Ziming experienced the ups and downs of his life, and then recalled today's decision, he couldn't help but sigh, in fact, there is no need to calculate so complicated.

Whether a monk should leave the original sect, or whether to change halls or branches in a sect, is actually a very good choice:

Just look at fate and see if you are compatible with it.

You can recall that in this place, there are more fortunate or unfortunate events, whether the mood is happy or depressed, if it is the former, why bother?

If it's the latter, then, of course, one should leave.

If Jin Ziming, who matures in the future, chooses again, he will think of joining the Lingyun Sect for all these years, and his cultivation adventures have continued.

And whenever there is a crisis, he can always turn the danger into a disaster, and when he encounters a problem with his cultivation, he can also solve it quickly.

Here, he chased the fairy in his dream, made many sincere friends, and avenged Lao Jin.

Even Chen Haiyang was scolded and degraded, and he was unexpectedly promoted.
