In less than half a year, the Tianyan Sect of the Jiuhe Realm had already become a major sect.
Every time Luo Tingzong, the old servant of the Xie family, went from Guannanbao to Tianyanzong, he could always find different changes. It was becoming more and more prosperous, and he felt more and more familiar with the Tianyanzong in the Earth Spirit Realm.
When he arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall and met Ge Yuchan's master, Master Fantao, Luo Tingzong handed over the supplies that Tianyan Sect requested with both hands. He also took from Master Fantao the elixirs, talismans and other items produced in Tianyan Sect in the past month.
After they looked at each other, they both showed expressions of amazement.
Li Fantao exclaimed, "Tianbao Zhenzun is really amazing. My Tianyan Sect can't find the raw materials for Peiyuan Pill in the nearby market, and even if I ask the Zhuge family for help, they can't get too much. Tianbao Zhenzun can actually prepare all of them."
Luo Tingzong said with a little pride, "Of course, my ancestor originally made his fortune by reselling various materials. Although there are people behind the scenes, they are still weaker than my ancestor's skills. From now on, if Tianyan Sect needs anything, just ask, and my ancestor will definitely find a way to prepare it."
Luo Tingzong didn't say that his ancestor had planned it on the first day he came to Jiuhe Realm, and later he even took away all the supplies that could be collected on the market.
His ancestor has always been like this. He feels uneasy when there is no stock in the warehouse.
Luo Tingzong continued, "I never thought that when Tianyan Sect was just established and was very busy, they could still allocate so many people to draw talismans and refine pills, especially these Peiyuan Pills, which are all top-notch."
Master Fan Tao smiled but said nothing. If the raw materials were sufficient, Tian Yan Sect could provide more.
This is all thanks to Shi Xiaowu from Li Jiuchuan's family, who has accurately quantified the recipe for Peiyuan Dan. Even people who have never learned alchemy only need to familiarize themselves with it seventeen or eighteen times to achieve stable output.
Li Fantao smiled and said, "As long as Tianbao Zhenzun is willing to accept it and can help find raw materials, Tianyan Sect can guarantee a stable output. After five years, increasing the output will not be a problem."
Five years later, the Peiyuan tea planted by Jiang Ziying and his men should be mature. By then, they can harvest two batches a year and give the Peiyuan pills to the Qi-refining disciples below as candy.
Luo Tingzong smiled and said, "The ancestor said that we will take as much as we can. If Tianyan Sect has any good things in the future, our ancestor will take them all. With our ancestor here, I guarantee that both our families will make a lot of money."
"That's good."
Li Fantao personally saw Luo Tingzong off. Over the past six months, Tianyan Sect had given Xie Tianbao no less than 100,000 Peiyuan Pills, but Xie Tianbao didn't sell a single one. Due to the lack of raw materials on the market, Peiyuan Pills were out of stock.
Little did people know that Xie Tianbao was not going to sell it at a high price, but was going to wait until the purchase price of Peiyuan Dan increased so as to disintegrate the alliance of the Chamber of Commerce in the Jiuhe Realm. He would sell Peiyuan Dan to whoever was willing to cooperate with him, Xie Tianbao, and let that person make money.
What Xie Tianbao wants is not how much money he can make, but an admission qualification. Once he enters the inner field, he can play with more things.
Li Fantao didn't want to delve too much into it. As long as Xie Tianbao didn't default on paying for the goods, it was his business how to sell them.

Hedan Hall.
The two alchemy elders on Yuquan Peak who were originally arrogant and unwilling to work saw that Tianyan Sect was developing better and better, and the Hedan Hall was filled with the fragrance of medicine every day. After receiving the basic salary for three months and having no money left, they finally put down their airs and came to the Hedan Hall to find work.
As a result, when they arrived, they saw many new faces of alchemy apprentices, scrambling to receive tasks and hand in pills, and some even cried bitterly because they did not receive any alchemy tasks.
It's so exaggerated!
But after finding out that the monthly salary of those alchemy apprentices was several times higher than the basic salary of their alchemy elders, their faces became even more exaggerated.
Immediately, the two of them went to find Master Bailu with great pride. They were willing to help them refine elixirs for the Qi training period, as the basic salary was really not enough!
But before they found Bai Lu Zhenjun, they saw seven strange-looking alchemy furnaces with eight hands in Bai Lu Zhenjun's special alchemy room.
There is also a spiritual ginseng treasure under each alchemy furnace, which keeps throwing spiritual plants into the furnace. He throws them so casually that it does not seem like alchemy, but more like burning paper.
But just as it was throwing them around, the mechanism under one of the alchemy furnaces opened and closed, spitting out nine round pills, all of which were top-quality Peiyuan Pills!
The two alchemy elders widened their eyes.
"Is this the Zhuge family's new mechanism? Does alchemy no longer require humans?"
"Then won't we be completely useless from now on?!"
The two were immediately overwhelmed by a sense of crisis.
At this time, the seventh little ginseng beard among the spiritual ginseng treasures was ignited by the earth fire due to improper operation, and jumped up in fright.
Chirp!
Seeing this, the other spiritual ginseng treasures rushed forward and pressed Xiaoxuzi to the ground, waving their whiskers to frantically whip the flames on Xiaoxuzi's body, and then...
All seven spiritual ginseng seeds were on fire.
Chirp!
The seven ginseng treasures, each holding a burning whisker, ran around the room in panic, kicking over the medicine jars. The second treasure was so panicked that he hit his head against a pillar and fainted.
"Who dares to set fire to the alchemy room?"
Seeing that it was just a fire and no one was causing trouble, Mu Wushuang showed a disappointed look and put out the fire casually.
"Alas... Why hasn't anyone violated the sect rules for me to beat up? It's too hard to be the law enforcement captain. I'd better help Junior Sister Yun catch monsters."
Mu Wushuang nodded to the two elders who were standing there in a daze, then went to inspect somewhere else.
The two alchemy elders swallowed hard, feeling that everyone in the Tianyan Sect was a weirdo, and they were not easy to mess with.
After a while, True Lord Bailu came out after refining the elixir. Seeing the two alchemy elders, he respectfully invited them in.
After seeing and hearing what they had seen along the way, the two men immediately became much more honest. Zhenjun Bailu said a few more nice words, saying that high-grade elixirs still had to be refined by them, and that the Puppet Alchemy Furnace could only refine elixirs with simple processes. He then painted two more big promises and promised to give them dividends in the future. The two men immediately expressed their willingness to die for the Tianyan Sect.
If they don't work harder, not only will the alchemy apprentices below force them to death, but the alchemy furnaces will also take away their jobs.
It’s too difficult!
The same situation existed not only in the Hedan Palace but in all parts of the Tianyan Sect. The disciples of the Yuquan Peak, who had originally planned to retire, could no longer sit still when they saw the 'crazy' disciples of the Tianyan Sect.
As for those registered disciples, they had already forgotten their respective affiliations in the spiritual world on earth at this moment, and the only thought left in their minds was to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for the Tianyan Sect.
The main thing is to work hard and you will earn money. If you don’t earn money, others will. It’s a waste not to earn money!

Tiankui Peak.
Li Jiuchuan looked at the account books sent from various places recently. Although it was still a long way to make up for the deficit, there was finally a trend of improvement.
It will only be difficult in the next few years. Once the planted spiritual plants mature and the first batch of mining puppets, farming puppets and construction puppets that cooperate with the Zhuge family are completed, most of the labor force will be freed up to be invested in other production.
For this reason, Master Bai Yan has taken Qi Yue to the Zhuge family to study, and even Shi Xiaowu has followed.
After Shi Xiaowu had been there for a month, he had already shocked the entire Zhuge family. He had used several tricks to solve many of the Yanjia problems that the Zhuge family had found difficult to overcome.
So much so that Zhuge Jing, the supreme elder of the Zhuge family, came personally to ask why Li Jiuchuan accepted two such talented disciples, Jiang Yuebai and Shi Xiaowu.
Li Jiuchuan just wanted to say that his little disciple Jiang Ziying was also very powerful, and when those grafted spiritual plants matured in the future, everyone would be shocked again.
"Master, an invitation letter from the Tianxing Sect."
Qi Ming came in from outside and handed the letter he had just received to Li Jiuchuan.
After reading it, Li Jiuchuan said, "Tianxing Sect wants to invite Tianyan Sect to go to the Zhongsanyou area to explore the secret realm and have a small competition. This is to show us how powerful they are."
Qi Ming frowned, "I think it's because they failed to suppress Tianyan Sect in business, so they came up with a new trick. Sect Master, should we respond?"
Li Jiuchuan put down the letter and said, "Why not? Go and call Huaixi over. Let him lead the team this time. Let Li Shenzhi be responsible for the safety of the Tianyan Sect disciples. Bring along elites like Mu Wushuang, Yu Qiuchi, Fang Yuxing, and Ge Yuchan. Among the foundation-building disciples, pick ten disciples who performed outstandingly at the Fuyao Immortal Conference and let them see the world."
Qi Ming recorded everything. Li Jiuchuan suddenly sighed, stood up and walked to the window. He saw that the sunny weather outside had turned into overcast.
"What a pity, our senior sister from Tianku Peak and Lu Nanzhi have both gone to the Immortal Palace..."
His own disciple, who had not even started serving him, had gone to serve the Immortal Lord Chongming. Li Jiuchuan felt very sad when he mentioned this.
Boom!
It was windy and rainy outside, and there were signs of rain. Li Jiuchuan suddenly remembered something and turned around to quickly instruct Qi Ming.
"I almost forgot. Go and tell all the peaks to stop construction and transfer people to reinforce the foundations of all the riverbanks. Also, build some flood prevention works. They must be able to withstand a hundred-year flood."
Qi Ming didn't understand and glanced outside.
"Master, it's just a thunderstorm, there's no need to be so nervous, right?"
Li Jiuchuan chuckled, "Do as I say, and send a letter to the Zhuge family to remind them. I don't understand Immortal Chongming, but I understand my disciple."
Finally, Li Jiuchuan added another sentence.
"If anyone asks, just say that the Tianyan Sect wants to win the hearts of the people, so they are helping to repair the river. Don't mention anything else."
Li Jiuchuan remembered that the terrain on the west bank where the Tianxing Sect was located was much lower than their east bank...
