Yunping Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, with numerous peaks. The mountains are filled with spiritual energy and thick fog, which is misty.
The place where Zhao Fuyi met everyone was still some distance away from the current mountain gate of Tianyan Sect. After comforting the crying He Wangchen, she glanced at the entire ship and the obviously excessive number of cultivators around. For some reason, she felt that this was 'normal'.
Perhaps she already knew Jiang Yuebai well enough to know that Jiang Yuebai would definitely take advantage of every loophole he could and would never suffer any loss.
After saying goodbye to their disciples, Zhao Fuyi and Li Jiuchuan returned to the cabin.
Before Li Jiuchuan could pour a cup of tea for Zhao Fuyi, Zhao Fuyi took out piles of account books, directories and official documents from his storage bracelet and filled the tea table.
Li Jiuchuan held the teapot and kept pouring tea. His whole body froze. For a moment, he had an illusion that Zhao Fuyi in front of him had been possessed by Jiang Yuebai. What was going on
"Ahem~" Zhao Fuyi lowered her eyes and coughed, "Um... you were the sect leader chosen by the elders' council before. Now that you are in the upper realm, I should naturally hand over all the affairs of the sect to you as soon as possible."
Li Jiuchuan put down the teapot, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Your 'as soon as possible' is too fast. I haven't even seen the mountain gate yet."
Zhao Fuyi felt guilty, but her expression did not change. It was really because the sect was newly established and the affairs were busy and complicated. In addition, except for the newly recruited disciples, basically all the disciples in the sect were original disciples of Yuquan Sect, which made them difficult to manage.
Even though Xie Jingshan gave them a large amount of spirit stones and supplies, it was still not enough to repair the entire sect.
The original Yuquan Sect had a lot of bad debts and holes to fill. Apart from the mine, the Yuquan Sect had no other source of income and was unable to make ends meet.
The elders in charge of production in the sect who make pills and refine weapons have had their salaries in arrears for nearly a hundred years. None of them have said they want to leave the current Tianyan Sect, but they don't work either. When asked, they say they are not worthy of the salary, but they are unable to pay it.
They also said that they could die, but it also depended on the treatment given to them by Tian Yan Zong, whether it would be pleasing to them.
Zhao Fuyi has been really exhausted in the past four years. If she was good at business, she would not have cheated all her disciples and made them stingy and money-hungry. She would not have owed the Tianyan Sect a debt for 177 years.
So as soon as Zhao Fuyi noticed that Li Jiuchuan and the others had returned, she rushed over impatiently, just to quickly unload the burden and take a breath.
"well… "
Li Jiuchuan sighed heavily, stopped drinking tea, lifted up his shirt and sat down, picked up the top account book and flipped through it, then called out to Qi Ming outside.
"Qi Ming, go and invite Tang Weimian and Shi Xiaowu over, and call Yue Bai as well."
Zhao Fuyi asked doubtfully, "What do you want Weimian to do?"
Li Jiuchuan frowned as he scanned the deficit in the account book and said, "Weimian was in charge of the Tiangang Peak's accounts. She was an expert at controlling the purse strings and knew how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. With so many account books, it's natural that we have to ask her to take a look and think of a solution."
"Ahem~"
Zhao Fuyi picked up the teacup awkwardly, raised it to her lips only to find that there was no tea in it, and put it down awkwardly again.
Li Jiuchuan glanced at her secretly, curled the corners of his lips slightly without saying anything more, and looked at the account books and directories attentively. The more he looked, the more headache he felt.
Tianyan Sect took advantage of Yuquan Sect and must pay a corresponding price.
The Tianyan Sect in the Jiuhe Realm is several times larger in area and has several times more industries than the Diling Realm, but most of them are in a deficit state.
Just balancing these accounts is difficult.
Plus there are powerful enemies outside, eyeing us covetously...
Fortunately, Jiang Yuebai brought these five thousand monks, otherwise it would be very difficult to deal with.
After a while, Qi Ming came with Tang Weiman and Shi Xiaowu, but Jiang Yuebai was not seen. Li Jiuchuan frowned. He was still hoping that Jiang Yuebai would release all his clones to help him settle the accounts and find a solution.
"Where's Yuebai?"
Qi Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Master Wangshu took the other cultivators on the boat to patrol the mountains together."
Hearing this, Zhao Fuyi smiled and said, "She must have guessed that you were going to look for her, so she slipped away early."
Li Jiuchuan clenched his fingers, what an evil disciple!
However, she suddenly brought so many people to patrol the mountains in a high-profile manner... I'm afraid she has other intentions.
Li Jiuchuan smiled and said, "Forget it, let her be. Weimian, you sort out these account books."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Tang Weiman nodded, and immediately moved all the account books aside and began to sort them out.
"Xiao Wu, check all the numbers!"
Shi Xiaowu took out his abacus and shook it. "Okay, it's a piece of cake."
"Qi Ming, remember what I'm saying. First, use the rules of the Tianyan Sect in the Earth Spirit Realm as a framework to establish new sect rules. There are also many things we can learn from the Zhuge Family's rules that Yue Bai gave me earlier..."
Qi Ming fetched pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and sat beside Li Jiuchuan to write.

Yunping Mountain, Yuquan Peak.
Two men and one woman, three Yuanying elders of the Yuquan Sect who were worthy of asking for salary, sat together under the pavilion, drinking tea and chatting, leisurely and comfortable.
“Everyone, what do you think of the Tianyan Sect? It has eight Spiritualization Masters and two Void Refining Masters. Without a core force, the sect’s strength is broken and it will still be suppressed by the Tianxing Sect on the other side of the Seven Star River.”
"Yes, we didn't have many disciples in the Yuquan Sect before. Although we have received many new disciples now, they are all practicing Qi. What can they do?"
"Yuquan Sect still has so many bad debts to settle. If Tianyan Sect doesn't have people and a way to make money, it won't last long even if it has to rob Peter to pay Paul."
"Then why are we still here? Why don't we find another job?"
"That won't do. We have to get back the salary we're owed, otherwise... Hmm? What's that over there?"
Oh~~~
A dragon roar was heard that shook the sky. Several people stood up from their chairs in surprise and looked towards the distant sky.
A giant fiery red dragon was hovering in the sky, and behind it were thousands of rays of light rushing through the air, vast and mighty, stretching for more than dozens of miles.
It's like a large meteor streaking across the sky, with great momentum.
"Is the Tianxing Sect coming to attack us?" someone shouted in horror.
"Wait, is the one leading the group... Master Wangshu?"
When they looked more closely, they discovered that the leader was none other than Master Wangshu, who had gained great fame at the Nine River Realm Dragon Conference and was favored by Master Chongming. Next to her was an unfamiliar old man with the cultivation level of an early stage of the Incarnation Realm.
But this is far less than the soaring energy gathered by the thousands of people behind, which is daunting.
A group of people seemed to do it on purpose. They shuttled back and forth in the Yunping Mountain area and around the Tianyan Sect, showing off their might and shocking everyone.
"This is... someone from the Tianyan Sect?!"
Several elders looked at each other in disbelief.
In mid-air, Jiang Yuebai let Hongye lead the way, and the dragon's roar scared away all the beasts in the mountains, and the sound spread all over the world.
"Uncle Tianbao, look, this is the Yunping Mountain where our Tianyan Sect is located. What do you think?"
Xie Tianbao stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "It is much more majestic than the Nine-Layered Mountains in your Earth Spirit Realm, and the spiritual energy is also rich. Well... there are also many mineral veins. It is a good place."
A gleam of light flashed in Xie Tianbao's eyes. He had practiced a special eye technique that allowed him to detect underground mineral veins from high altitude.
Xie Jingshan said something to Shen Huaixi, Song Zhiang and others from behind, then caught up on his sword.
"Grandfather, I think you should stay here for a while, stabilize your cultivation and build a good foundation before going out to travel. I will find a way to inquire about Fang Ruyan's matter with the Fang family."
Xie Tianbao squinted his eyes at Xie Jingshan and said, "Good boy, are you plotting against your grandfather? Don't think I don't know that the Tianyan Sect is just starting out here, so it must be a mess, especially with money. What do you want to do? Make your grandfather do a losing business?"
Xie Jingshan chuckled and said, "Isn't this because I feel so sorry for the cultivation of Tianyan Sect, so I want to ask Grandfather to help me repay the favor?"
Xie Tianbao snorted and laughed, "If you don't know, you would think you were born in Tianyan Sect. What a great favor! It's not enough for you to stuff a disciple in to repay the favor, but you also want to stuff your grandfather in?"
Xie Jingshan smiled ingratiatingly. Although Xie Tianbao didn't say yes directly, he didn't say no either.
After he became a god, he really needed a place to consolidate his cultivation. It would definitely not be appropriate for him to follow Xie Jingshan to the Zhenwu Immortal Sect.
Moreover, since the Tianyan Sect was just established, there must be many business opportunities. Instead of letting others take advantage of it, it would be better to make the money for themselves, which would be mutually beneficial.
You can also start from the Jiuhe Realm and then expand the territory of Shanhai Tower.
"Show me your mineral veins."
Xie Tianbao walked into the air, and Xie Jingshan and Jiang Yuebai smiled at each other and followed closely behind him.
At that time, outside Yunping Mountain, spies from the Tianxing Sect and the Xiong family suddenly saw so many Nascent Soul, Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators appear in the Tianyan Sect. They were all shocked and hurried back to report.
When the people from Tianxing Sect found out, they were also shocked. They couldn't understand where Tianyan Sect got so many people from.
