In the meeting hall of the Thunder Rain Gate, there was a thick depression and dullness.

Wu Jingze and a dozen elders met again to discuss how to solve the current predicament, but there was no way.

In the past two months, most of the business of Thunderstorm Gate has been constantly losing money, losing money, and losing money again, and it has reached the point where it is almost impossible to persevere. What's more serious is that the pills of the Thunder Rain Gate are insufficient.

The distribution of elixir is the most important benefit for the disciples and elders of the sect. Why did everyone want to join the sect, wasn't it because they could learn the subtle exercises and get the pills that were distributed for free? Without the support of the sect's endless pills, why would the disciples of the sect be better than the scattered cultivators?

In terms of hard work and perseverance, I am afraid that some Xuanshi are stronger than the disciples of various sects, but why are there very few people who have become masters of the eighth or even ninth order in casual cultivation, but there can be a steady stream of masters in each major sect? It is because of the difference in enjoying resources. The sect spends a lot of resources to support the cultivation of the disciples, and after the disciples have achieved some cultivation, they can feed back to the sect, forming a cycle of good surnames, and the sect can also develop and grow.

However, the Thunder Rain Sect has been in decline for a long time, and it is much worse than some second-rate sects in terms of heritage, although now because Wu Jingze has advanced to the ninth order, so that the Thunder Rain Gate is among the first-class sects in Sunset City, but in terms of real strength, I am afraid that it is still far from a qualified first-class sect. Just like the rumors in Sunset City, the Thunder Rain Gate is a first-class sect that only has the strength of an ordinary second-rate sect.

After becoming a first-class sect, the welfare benefits should be on par with the first-class sect, solving Xiong Huairen, and pacifying the civil strife of the sect, Wu Jingze greatly improved the welfare of the sect, which made the already very tight finances of the sect even tighter, and then encountered the full suppression of the Golden Bottle Gate, the business of the sect was almost paralyzed, and the finances of the sect were basically out of nowhere. In addition, after the abundance of the sect's warehouse, the interest of the disciples of the Thunder Rain Sect to do the tasks of the sect has greatly increased, and all kinds of spiritual objects and treasures delivered are part of the sect's heritage, and they cannot be sold at will;

If it weren't for Wu Tian's box of gold bricks and the large amount of pills seized, Wu Jingze would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

Wu Jingze originally thought that he could barely hold on for three months, but after only two months, the pills and money in the sect's inventory were basically exhausted.

This is also to blame for the Golden Bottle Door's move being too ruthless, and the knife is to the flesh.

At present, the only profitable business in Thunderstorm Gate is an iron mine on Baihe Island. This iron mine is of high quality, and the income from the iron mine is the bulk of the business of the outer door. But now, this iron mine is used as a breakthrough by the Golden Bottle Gate. The Golden Bottle Gate sent hundreds of fifth-order and sixth-order disciples to besiege the iron mine, and although the disciples of Thunder Rain barely guarded it with their formations, the consumption of pills became more and more. The only thing that Thunder Rain Gate can do is to keep sending disciples to support and distribute pills, so as to keep the last profitable business of the sect, otherwise Thunder Rain Gate will be cut off from its last source of income.

Wu Jingze was almost white-headed, if it weren't for his son Wu Tian telling him, as long as he could hold on for three months, he would be able to get a large amount of money, he almost planned to give up, follow the advice of the elders of the sect, and sell a part of the sect's business, as well as the treasures of the sect, in exchange for funds to buy pills. But he has almost been unable to resist until now.

The elder of the outer sect in charge of the iron mine blushed and said with a thick neck below: "Master, don't hesitate, sell a few unprofitable businesses! In the past two months, I have relied on you to buy pills to support the sect, but this is not a long-term solution. Anyway, those businesses are losing money and doing business, so it's better to shut down. ”

Elder Sun Li also persuaded: "Yes, shutting down these businesses will not only allow you to get some funds, but also avoid continuing to lose money, although it will have a great impact on the reputation of the sect and will also shake the confidence of the disciples, but now you can't take care of it so much!"

Wu Jingze frowned and said: "Even if we sell these businesses, it is not enough to pay a drop in the bucket, and if we close these businesses, even if we survive the suppression of the Golden Bottle Gate, it will be difficult for us to pick up these businesses in the future. No, I'll try to get some money, and I'll keep going. ”

The mission elder was also puzzled: "Master, what are you waiting for? even if you persist for a few more days, will the situation still change?"

The task elder is a hardcore Wu faction, since he also raised questions, Wu Jingze is not perfunctory, so he has to say vaguely: "I have already sent Wu Tian to do one thing, if it goes well, it will bring back a sum of money, and the pressure on the sect can be relieved some." ”

Iron Lady Murong Ting said coldly: "Wu Tian is just a fifth-order kid, what else can he do? Even if he gets some money, it's just a drop in the bucket, did you let him go to the four top sects to borrow money? I heard that the four great gods owe Wu Tian a little favor, that is very rare, if you just borrow some money and waste the favor, it will be even more of a loss! It is better to sell some industries." ”

More than a dozen elders all asked Wu Jingze to agree to sell part of the business, and never go to the four great gods to borrow money.

Wu Jingze was anxious, and his son Wu Tian originally said that he would not be able to come back in three months, but now it has only been two months. According to the current situation of the sect, it is very difficult to hold on for another three days, let alone another month! Forget it, just listen to the elders!

He coughed, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said unwillingly: "Since this is the case, then ......"

Halfway through his words, a happy color suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Wait a minute, my son Wu Tian is back." ”

The things they are discussing now are the highest tightness of the sect, if it leaks out, the sect will definitely be in chaos, so Wu Jingze has already used Xuan Gong to envelop the entire conference hall with Xuan Qi, and the sound of discussion in the hall cannot be transmitted, but at this time, it was monitored that Wu Tian walked to the front of the hall.

The elders in the hall were very puzzled, and they didn't understand why Master Wu had so much confidence in Wu Tian, as if as soon as Wu Tian came back, the crisis of the sect could be solved immediately.

They waited and saw that the heavy door was opened, Wu Tian walked in, and closed the door with a "boom".

The elders and Wu Jingze all looked at Wu Tian with blank eyes, but they saw that Wu Tian's hands were empty, but the big leather bag he was carrying was bulging, and it seemed that there were a lot of things. Could it be all money?

Elder Sun Li asked impatiently, "Wu Tian, do you have anything valuable in the big leather bag you are carrying?"

Wu Tian blinked his eyes and said blankly: "There is nothing valuable, just clothes and other ordinary items!"

There was undisguised disappointment on everyone's faces.

Wu Jingze secretly said that there was something wrong with this kid's secret realm adventure, and he hurriedly asked, "Then how many gold coins do you have on you now?"

Wu Tian hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "There are less than a hundred gold coins......"

There was an uproar in the council chamber.

Although the elders didn't think that the financial dilemma of the sect that they couldn't solve by these seventh- and eighth-order masters could be solved by Wu Tian, a mere fifth-order little guy, but just now Wu Jingze was so confident in Wu Tian that the elders also had some hope for Wu Tian, who would have thought that Wu Tian's words would turn their hopes into soap bubbles floating in the air, and with a "pop", they were shattered, and there was no trace of them again.

The elders immediately clamored: "Master, Wu Tian is also back, so he came back with some pocket money, you gave it when you left, right?"

"Yes, I'll just say how can I pin my hope in the hands of this little guy Wu Tian, think about it with your feet and know that it's unreliable. ”

"Okay, okay, Wu Tian, you don't have to be discouraged, this sect's dilemma is indeed not something that you can solve as a fifth-order little guy, don't you see that our seventh-order and eighth-order old guys are helpless? Okay, you go back first! Be careful not to talk nonsense. ”

"Master, it's still the old idea, let's sell some sect business, and stick to it for a while!"

Wu Tian was a little strange, didn't his father originally say that he could last for three months, but now that only two months have passed, why is he going to sell the sect's business? He hurriedly said: "No, selling the sect's business is to drink to quench your thirst, and you can't sell it." ”

The Iron Lady Murong Ting said angrily: "Then what good way do you have? If you don't sell the sect's business, how can you get gold coins to buy pills? Without pills, don't say that the last money-making iron mine in the sect can't be kept, and the hearts of the sect's disciples will be scattered at once!"

Arbitration Elder Feng Ping suddenly cried loudly: "I, the Thunder Rain Sect, a thousand-year-old sect, want to stand out in Sunset City back then, and the twenty ninth-order masters dominate the whole city, which top sect dares to disobey it? I can't imagine that we, the juniors, are incompetent, and actually let the Thunder Rain Sect fall to the point of being suppressed by an ordinary first-class sect and close to collapse, if the Thunder Rain Gate really collapses, what face do we have to meet the master of the sect under the Nine Springs!"

When he cried, he even led several elders to cry. For a while, the sound of crying in the council hall shook the sky, if it weren't for the sound in the hall that couldn't be heard, the disciples outside might have thought that the head of the sect had suddenly passed away! Cultivating Xuan's mind first, and the masters who can cultivate to the seventh order or above, who are not resolute people, even if they are in a desperate situation, they will not cry, but at this moment, they are like children, crying heartbroken, and almost fainting.
