Chapter 43: The Father's Ambition
It is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and Li Dazhi is full of red light at the moment, obviously he has encountered a good thing.
He didn't dodge today, and landed directly in front of the gate of the cave where Li Ping'an lived, and just as he was about to knock forward, the two vermilion gates opened on their own.
A Qingsu immortal in a light white dress appeared behind the door and bowed to Li Dazhi.
"I've seen my ancestor."
"Hey, it's a mess!"
Li Dazhi hurriedly returned the salute, looked for Li Ping'an's figure with his eyes, and said:
"You are a safe master, if we want to talk about seniority, then we will each shout our own ...... What about peace? β
Qingsu turned sideways and said, "I'm cooking." β
"Do ......"
Li Dazhi squinted and laughed.
He knows his son's cooking;
For the entire Lao Li family, it was also quite explosive.
As soon as Li Dazhi wanted to say that he was waiting at the entrance of the cave, he saw Li Ping'an carrying a large iron pot and moving from the inner cave to the front hall.
A rich aroma spread, making Li Dazhi swallow his saliva in earnest.
This turned out to be the famous food of his hometown - stewed goose in an iron pot!
This 'big goose' is still a spirit bird, and I don't know what it tastes like.
Li Dazhi was greedy.
Li Ping'an placed the iron pot on the stone table, and with a slight move of his right hand, several plates of spices flew in the air and landed near the iron pot.
He smiled and said, "Master, let's dine first, and I'll go to my room with my father to talk about something." β
"Hmm," Qingsu smiled at the corner of his mouth, floated to the back of the stone table and sat down, listening to Li Ping'an briefly explain how to eat this meal.
Li Dazhi: ......
In fact, it's okay to eat first and then talk about things.
Li Ping'an took off his homemade apron, looked at his father in confusion, and beckoned, "Dad, why don't you come in?" β
"It's coming, it's coming."
Li Dazhi sighed in his heart, expecting that with Master Ping'an's appetite, this pot of goose should not be able to be eaten, so he went to Li Ping'an's room with confidence.
Close the door and open the formation, there is an enchantment arranged by the immortals outside, and the father and son are still talking in the dialect of their hometown.
"Dad, how's it going?"
"It's done," Li Dazhi said with a smile, "It's a little earlier than we planned before, but the timing is good, and the effect exceeds expectations." β
Li Ping'an took a pot of mountain spring water, began to make tea for his father, and asked, "Where is Elder Xiao Yue?" β
"Didn't you give me the jade talisman? It's all the Eagle Whispering one. β
Li Dazhi rolled up his sleeves and sat in front of Li Ping'an, and said with a smile:
"According to what you said, I publicly recommended Elder Xiao Yue to the head of the sect and asked her to be in charge of the follow-up sales of magic weapons, and I was as enthusiastic as possible."
Enthusiastic?
Li Ping'an wanted to know how enthusiastic his father was at that time.
Li Dazhi continued:
"Xiao Yue left the door yesterday and went back to her base camp in Donghaifang Town.
"I asked Wei Yanzi to follow her over, and Wei Yanzi will also report Xiao Yue's every move in the future.
"This Xiao Yue is indeed a capable person, smart and capable, and has strong organizational skills.
"Although there are many immortals in the sect, most of them only like to practice behind closed doors, and it is really difficult to find a second outer sect elder who is as capable as her.
"Just let her go to ensure the sales channels of the first few batches of magic weapons."
Li Dazhi said quite simply, but Li Ping'an couldn't help but think about it a little more.
Li Ping'an asked again: "Before Xiao Yue left, did you see Deputy Head Mo Yi?" β
"When I saw it, I was at the feast...... By the way, Deputy Head Mo Yi announced that he had closed his retreat. β
Li Dazhi raised his eyebrows at Li Ping'an:
"Deputy Head Mo Yi said that he was going to retreat to hit a bottleneck, and if he wanted to reach the realm of the Six Rank Heavenly Immortals as soon as possible, he should not be out of the customs in the next few years."
Li Ping'an was slightly puzzled.
This is the deputy head of Mo Yi who saw that his father's side was unstoppable, so he took the initiative to retreat?
Li Dazhi said again: "That Elder Bi is also in retreat...... The boss told me. β
Li Ping'an brought the teacup to his father and said with a smile: "They are powerful, they hide first when they see that the situation is wrong, so as not to be lost." β
"Humph!"
Li Dazhi said with a dark face:
"They should want to see the follow-up of Zhuyun Hall, if we two mess up...... Look at it! These two old boys jumped out immediately! β
Li Ping'an smiled: "Has the matter of Zhuyun Hall been settled?" β
"The head of the door is accurate, and the door is fully supportive."
Li Dazhi squinted and smiled, took a sip of tea, and looked very comfortable.
"In the future, this Zhuyun Hall will be your father and I will be the leader, and we will have the final say in everything.
"This is also my first serious errand in the door, and I must do something to achieve something.
"You don't have to worry about this at all, this is also Dad's old business, the core task is to organize production, personnel management, technology upgrading, sales channels, focus on product quality and production efficiency, do not blindly expand production, do not squeeze the disciples in the door.
"And the ones you reminded before, I also told the master, don't make things go away, leave a way for the loose cultivators to live."
True "I opened a factory in the fairy world".
Li Ping'an said with a smile: "Although I have said it many times, I must be tired of listening to it, but no matter when, one's own cultivation is the foundation of everything." β
"This is actually okay," Li Dazhi blinked, "I've been so tired these days, I've been dragged by the elders to ask questions, and I have also broken through a small realm, and now I'm an eight-rank Yuan Immortal." β
Li Ping'an's smile froze on his face.
He shouldn't have asked!
Comrade Li's anti-heaven qualifications and atmospheric luck are directly pinched to death in the cultivation area!
Li Dazhi lowered his voice and said, "Ping'an, I'll pass on a gong to you?" β
"The one-year period has not yet arrived," Li Ping'an shook his head gloomily, "Wait for me to finish building the foundation, the foundation building is more important, especially my five elements lack soil, and there are many imperfections in the Dao body." β
"The herb you gave me last time, I have already asked Brother Yun Chenzi to go to alchemy, it should be able to improve your qualifications a little."
Li Dazhi groaned a few times:
"Ping'an, there is one more thing, I didn't discuss it with you, so I directly gave the head of the house an idea."
"What?"
"No, there are a few heads of the Friends Sect who have also seen our assembly line."
Li Dazhi smiled:
"These heads are very shrewd, and they directly rely on our Wanyun Sect not to leave, and the heads have given a lot of empty promises, but they are all indifferent.
"I'll advise the head of the sect that in the future, we can set up a few Zhuyun Hall branches in these sects.
"The most critical point of Zhuyun Hall is actually the integration of resources of the major sects.
"The cultivation world of Dongzhou is very large, and the scattered cultivation is more than ten times that of the sect's qi refiners, and the mortal magic weapons produced by our Wanyun Sect are far from being able to occupy the market of Dongzhou Yicheng.
"Instead of eating alone, it is better to pull those friends who have deep friendships into the group, and everyone has spirit stones to earn together.
"Let's Wanyun Sect try to make Zhuyun Hall first, this road is clear, then three or five years later, we will come up with the technology, set up a branch of Zhuyun Hall in their sect, extract two or three percent of the profits, and when everyone earns spirit stones, they will form a refining alliance and start formulating standards."
"This refining method can't be hidden for too long, other sects will definitely follow suit, we just took a lead, and it is a good way to seize the market and join."
Li Ping'an gave a thumbs up, and said, "Dad, I will practice with peace of mind in the future, and I won't care about the affairs of Zhuyun Hall." β
"Well, you chase the realm safely."
Li Dazhi nodded slowly, but it was rare to have such a serious expression, and said slowly:
"You worship the master now, becoming an immortal is the first priority, the immortal life spans tens of thousands of years, the true immortal can live for one yuan, the life is long, and the cultivation can be grinded up for the realm.
"Peace, in the past, you always gave me three chapters of the law, and today I will also make three chapters of the law with you."
Li Ping'an lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes: "Okay, you said I listened." β
"First, if you can't reach the Realm of Refining Void within three years, then let's increase the frequency of Gong transmission."
Li Dazhi is colorful:
"I'm cultivating too much higher than you now, and I have to be careful every time I pass on my merits to you, and the negative impact on my cultivation is minimal.
"Peace, you don't need to be so self-contained.
"You have strong self-esteem, and Dad understands it, but in this immortal cultivation world where there are no laws and regulations, it is always good to have more self-protection ability."
Li Ping'an nodded: "Well, I know, I will work hard to cultivate." β
"Well, it's time for the second one."
Li Dazhi stood up and held his knees with both hands.
"About Ning Ning, I know you know it in your heart, but child, we are men, and men must be responsible.
"If you are interested in Ning Ning, then you should tell people in advance, give people a deadline, and say when you can start talking to people, and then you will talk to people in earnest.
"It's not a good thing to hang people's appetites, if you really think that Ning Ning can't be a Taoist couple with you, you propose to bow to her, and she will naturally understand."
Li Ping'an smiled: "Dad, I have told the pastor sister. The matter of feelings depends on the follow-up development, and it is not a business, and what deadline is set. β
"Did you really say that?"
"Hmm."
"Confessed?"
"Not yet."
"Look at it!" Li Dazhi spread his hands and persuaded bitterly, "In your case, if this was placed in the era when my father was young, it would have been someone would have used chalk to write a big radish on the wall!" β
"Dad, I know it in my heart, you can concentrate on your Casting Cloud Hall!"
Li Ping'an urged:
"You say the third."
"Third," Li Dazhi smiled, "Before that Xiao Yue left, she also asked me to take care of her disciple, I went to the outer gate to take a look, she is a nice little girl, she is very watery but not tall, you see, do you want to pull it over to be a maid for you?" β
Li Ping'an smiled: "That little girl is actually seven or eight years younger than you. β
"Huh?" Li Dazhi was stunned, "She looks very delicate." β
Li Ping'an said: "Elder Xiao Yue just wants to put an eyeliner next to us, Dad, you can arrange this little girl into Zhuyun Hall, let her do some miscellaneous affairs on weekdays, so that Elder Xiao Yue can rest assured." β
"It's okay to arrange it this way, this Zhuyun Hall, I plan to do it directly according to the structure of the previous factory, this is what I am best at."
Li Dazhi's eyes narrowed slightly:
"This Xiao Yue, in fact, is already a bit of a self-respecter.
"She has been operating in Wanyun Sect for many years, has a wide network and deep roots, and she is also a disciple of the Golden Immortal.
"I don't know what she wants, if she doesn't handle it well, he may be in trouble one day."
Li Ping'an deliberately teased: "Dad, are you starting to think about such a thing now?" β
Li Dazhi was stunned, then smiled dumbly, and said in a low voice: "Ping'an, Dad has figured it out." β
"You say, I'll listen."
"You and I, father and son, since they are standing in the Wanyun Sect, they should be based on the Wanyun Sect."
Li Dazhi's eyebrows had a lot of momentum:
"I'm not good at power, but now I have to fight for this immortal power.
"Even so, I don't have to hide anymore, this Cloud Casting Hall is where I gather momentum!
"Besides, the vast majority of the immortals in the sect are pure and indifferent, just a few immortals are obsessed, I like Wanyun Sect very much.
"Let's just do something here, and prosper Wanyun!"
Li Ping'an made a decent gesture: "Then I will lie down peacefully, and wait for you to take me to the next level." β
"Stinky boy!"
Li Dazhi broke his work and scolded with a smile:
"I'm just saying that I have this ambition and there is still a long way to go to achieve it!
"With your ancestor here, we can't stand bullying.
"Let's encourage the two of us."
Li Ping'an smiled: "Dad, look at what you said, we can't get over without a drink today." β
Li Dazhi glared and scolded: "Did I drink with you?" Let's get down to business! β
In Li Dazhi's eyes, Zhuyun Hall is the 'magic factory' of Wanyun Sect; when it comes to its future planning, Li Dazhi is talking about the Tao, and Li Ping'an can't interject at all.
This is called professionalism.
Li Dazhi could only stay here for an hour, and he had to continue to return to Wanyun Hall to prepare for Zhuyun Hall;
Zhuyun Hall is the foundation of his future, and he must keep an eye on it all the way.
When Li Dazhi was leaving, he looked at the empty iron pot and the pile of skeletons that were neatly stacked, and some expressions were indescribable.
Teacher Ping'an looks so slim and quite edible.
β¦β¦
Li Dazhi left, and he didn't come to look for Li Ping'an in the next few months;
It was Li Ping'an who occasionally went to visit his old father, and the father and son met.
Father did get busy.
The Casting Cloud Hall of the Wanyun Sect, with the full support of the head and the elders, was erected in the mountain gate in just half a month, occupying the peak of the entire uninhabited peak.
The first batch of twenty Yuan Immortals and three hundred outer disciples in the sect became the 'buddies' of Zhuyun Hall.
At the same time, the head of the sect arranged for several elders who were good at refining weapons to devote themselves to studying the twelve magic weapons, and constantly improving and optimizing them;
This freed Li Ping'an from not having to spend time and energy in this area.
In addition to running around, Li Dazhi will also meditate and practice honestly in his free time every day, after all, his own cultivation is the foundation of his life.
A month later, the first batch of 6,000 Liangpin flying swords was sent to Fangzhen on the coast of the East China Sea.
Elder Xiao Yue, who had been prepared for a long time, only took two days to sell out the flying sword priced at only 60% of the market price;
Even, Xiao Yue had no teacher, and set a date for the sale of the second batch of 'good products', and engaged in a pre-sale in a town.
Li Dazhi immediately announced the expansion of production scale, and batches of good flying swords were continuously sent to the coast of the East China Sea.
Zhuyun Hall has been in operation for half a year, earning more than 300,000 spirit stones for the door, and all the elders of Wanyun Sect are shocked.
ββThis is after deducting all costs, the net profit is more than 300,000 lower grade spirit stones.
It's not that everyone hasn't seen so many spirit stones, Wanyun Sect has a profound heritage, and it can also be called a big business.
But this family business has been accumulated over a long period of time.
The elders really didn't expect that this Cloud Casting Hall could earn spirit stones so quickly.
Zhuyun Hall has been running for a year, and a total of 100 assembly lines have been opened, earning 2 million spirit stones for the door, and the elders are shocked inexplicably.
Some elders asked the head of the sect to order an increase in the share of monthly payments for the disciples of the sect, but Li Dazhi vetoed it.
Li Dazhi also makes sense - it is easy to increase the monthly supply and it is difficult to reduce the monthly supply, and the excess spirit stones can be used as a reserve in the door, and some rewards can also be formulated to give benefits to the disciples of the door.
The head of the family thought carefully and adopted Li Dazhi's opinion.
After two years of operation, Zhuyun Hall has been able to steadily earn more than 200,000 low-grade spirit stones per month in the door;
Limited by the number of shops in Fang Town, as well as the integration of resources in the door, this number has reached the current limit.
In the major towns on the coast of the East China Sea, Wanyun Sect's magic weapon shops have played a high-quality and low-cost signboard, and have established a reputation in casual cultivation, and all kinds of second-class dealers are popular.
Li Dazhi launched a batch of superb magic weapons with similar quality to magic weapons in a timely manner, and took the flashy and strange road, and also achieved a lot of results.
For a while, everyone in the Wanyun Sect was discussing the 'Great Ambition Master's business talent' and the many benefits that this man of great luck had brought to the sect.
Li Dazhi's reputation in the door has risen, and he has the nickname of 'Fortune Immortal';
On the other hand, the retreat of Deputy Head Mo Yi and Elder Bi has increased the number of years with some interest.
While his father was so tired that he almost lost weight, Li Ping'an's side was much more relaxed.
Although Qingsu is in retreat most of the time, as long as she is not in retreat, she will preach, teach, and teach Li Ping'an.
Mu Ningning still came to Li Ping'an every once in a while, Li Ping'an added a bedroom for her in the cave, and she would occasionally stay here for a few days.
Although the two did not directly confess their minds, they already had a lot of tacit understanding with each other.
Li Ping'an's self-control is still quite good, and in the face of the more beautiful and moving little junior sister, he can still keep his Dao heart stable.
After Mu Ning Ning knew his senior brother's intentions, he didn't force it too much, and everything went naturally.
In the area of cultivation, Mu Ningning was also quite depressed.
She also didn't know how Senior Brother Ping'an practiced, no matter how hard she worked and how hard she worked, her cultivation speed was still a little slower than Li Ping'an's, and there was a tendency to be further and further down by Li Ping'an.
It really made her nervous.
In the past two years, Mu Ningning has been stuck in a bottleneck, and he still successfully reached the ninth order of the Condensing Light Realm, which is only half a step away from refining the void, and he can break through at any time.
After five years of cultivation and reaching the Refining Void Realm, it is already considered gratifying to enter the realm, and Mu Ningning is also quite valued by the immortals of Caiyun Peak.
But when the two of them were alone, Mu Ningning secretly went to see Li Ping'an, even if Li Ping'an didn't deliberately disguise, she couldn't see through Li Ping'an's realm, she could only see her senior brother surrounded by a faint aura, his skin became more and more translucent, his breath was thick, warm, and in harmony with nature, and occasionally there would be clouds and mist around him......
This is obviously a Dao rhyme that will only appear in the middle and late stages of the Refining Void Realm!
Li Ping'an was also a little embarrassed about this.
It's not that his qualifications have been completed;
Relying on the tonifying pill refined by the Lord of Yaochen Peak Peak, he just changed from a lack of soil in the five elements to a little soil in the five elements.
It's really ......
A father's love is like a mountain.
Just when Li Ping'an thought that he would practice peacefully in the mountains for a few more years, a jade talisman pierced through the clouds and fog and merged into the mountain protection array of the Wanyun Sect.
Two hours later, a disciple of the mountain patrol held the jade talisman of the Hall of Everything, and landed outside the large array of Li Ping'an's Cave Mansion, and shouted loudly:
"Senior Brother Ping'an, can you practice?"
