It is impossible for the leader to be the leader. Jiuzhu Mountain is too small. Whoever wants to be the leader can do it. Anyway, he, Lu, will not take the position.
If there really comes a day when Huang Guan is mourned to death by a reincarnated immortal, he will vote for Ding Lei during the banquet and nominate Master Ding to be the leader of the Nine Peaks Alliance.
However, a merger can be considered. For example, for the Piaoxiang Sect, if Zhao Shiran has no objection, he can change the sect's name tomorrow and hang up a sign that says 'Yuhua Sect's Piaoxiang Sect branch at Qipan Peak'.
I don't mean anything else, I just think Piaoxiangpai is low-key and has connotation, and it has its merits at first glance.
At the dinner table, Huang Guan poured out his grievances, and the other leaders followed suit, saying that every family had lost its talent and every household was eager to recruit talented people.
In a nutshell, there are so many reincarnated immortals on Sanqing Peak that Lu Bei can't teach them all. It would be a waste no matter where he wastes his resources. It would be better to share some of them with them.
"You're already in such a miserable state, but you're still thinking about inheriting your sect... That's right, this is how cultivating immortals works."
There is no doubt that the world of immortal cultivation attaches great importance to inheritance. Lu Bei has experienced it personally. Take his cheap master as an example. Before leaving, he did not forget to catch a passerby nearby despite his busy schedule.
Among the nine peaks, Yang Fuliu was the most eager to recruit disciples, and he really wanted to find a successor; Zhao Shiran's Piaoxiang Sect had already recruited several female disciples, who said nothing at the wine table and just acted quietly as vases.
Apart from these two extremes, the rest all have the idea of taking a chance. They do not have the ability to build up the mountain sect, so they hope that the reincarnated immortals will take them flying together.
We have to exclude the head of the Emei Sect, Ding, here. He has a general enthusiasm for reincarnated immortals. It would be best if there were one, but it doesn't matter if there weren't. The purpose of his cultivation is to prolong his life. Having a good body will allow him to make more money. As for inheritance and so on, that's enough for him.
There are many turtles in shallow water. Looking at the various leaders, Lu Bei frowned slightly.
Before coming, he was determined to convince people with reason, and no one else would be able to do it.
After sitting down, he found that the situation was not so bad, especially when several leaders made miserable faces, which made him feel that the life on Sanqing Peak was very happy, and his mood immediately improved.
There was also the most beautiful lady in Jiuzhu Mountain accompanying her. Although she was taciturn and her smile was aloof, her behavior of only raising her glass three times and not picking up her chopsticks since the start of the meal clearly had a deeper meaning.
People say: Don’t hit someone who smiles at you, and don’t scold someone who gives you a gift.
With both treating everyone to a meal and arranging for a big sword, Lu Bei was too embarrassed to lose his temper before three o'clock in the morning. He stroked his chin and figured out two feasible plans.
The first is to convince people with reason and put an end to their daydreams.
After returning to Sanqing Peak, the leeks were in conflict with their camps and encountered wild monsters with experience all over the mountains. Instead of refining pills properly, they shouted for fighting and killing all day long.
Second, let’s work together.
Don’t the several masters want to be disciples of the reincarnated immortals? Sure, there are more than a hundred players on Sanqing Peak. They can recruit as many as they can and train them however they want, as long as they don’t delay the settlement at the Dashengguan.
Thinking of this, Lu Bei's eyes lit up immediately. Previously, he was worried that there were too many stupid players on Sanqing Peak, and the Novice Village was not big enough, and the treatment was not as good as that offered by other companies. He hesitated whether to pay out of his own pocket to improve the food benefits.
Before he made a decision, several leaders of the peaks stood up and cried out to help him share the cost.
The area of Sanqing Peak is really limited and cannot accommodate too many players. Once the number of people is excessive, it will affect management and reduce the efficiency of pill production.
But as long as the area of the novice village expands, everything will be completely different.
A huge novice village can attract more players. Once the brand effect is created, its influence will continue to replenish fresh blood.
A man without long-term plans will have immediate worries. Lu Bei’s biggest worry at the moment is the monthly settlement of elixirs at Dashengguan.
Even though he always wears Ding's vest when he goes out, the name of the head of Yuhua Sect is clearly registered, and anyone who is interested can see it in black and white. Combined with the strange operation of Huangji Sect and Xuanyin Division undercovering each other, it won't be long before Huangji Sect finds out that the source of basic elixirs that have been providing them comes from the hands of Xuanyin Division's dog Qingwei.
There is no doubt that once the news is exposed, his business will be gone.
Lu Bei's current backup plan is Hu San and Mu Jiling. The two have considerable power in Ningzhou and Yuezhou. Without the Huangji Sect's business, he can take over the Xuanyin Division's business. If he borrows the name of his godmother to cheat people, he may be able to get the entire Xuanyin Division's supply of elixirs.
If this is really the case, the sweatshop on Sanqing Peak will operate year-round, and the leeks will have to go without food, water or sleep all day. This will only be possible if eight more factories are built and the scope of the novice village is expanded to cover the entire Jiuzhu Mountain.
“Great!”
Lu Bei raised the corner of his mouth and gave himself a thumbs up for his clever little brain. Before traveling through time, he only wanted to sit in the office and do nothing, instead of building a factory and becoming an entrepreneur. This was a huge loss to the capital world.
Fortunately, the problem is not serious and it is not too late to start from scratch now.
"Master Lu! Master Lu?"
Seeing that Lu Bei said nothing, staring at Zhao Shiran with shining eyes, and wondering what sweet dream he was having, and grinning evilly, Huang Guan hurriedly reminded him.
They are all people of status, so please pay attention to the impact.
"Oh, sorry, I was distracted. Let's continue. Where were we just now?"
Lu Bei straightened his lips and said to everyone, "Everyone, I have roughly understood your troubles. In simple terms, if you are from a poor family and want to become rich overnight, you place your hopes on the reincarnated immortal."
"… "
"My words are blunt but my point is true. I like to lay out the facts. If you can't stand it, just bear with it. You will get used to it in the future."
As usual, Lu Bei started with a barrage of criticism to establish his difficult-to-talk-to personality, and then changed the subject: "I have considered this for a long time. The Jiuzhu clan is of the same blood. Only my Sanqing Peak is well fed and clothed, while the other eight peaks are tightening their belts to make ends meet. This does have some bad influences. Not to mention the long-term consequences, Lu Bei's conscience alone cannot bear it."
"… "
In the silence, Huang Guan said: "Master Lu, what do you mean?"
"You all have a point. There are too many reincarnated immortals on Sanqing Peak. I intend to distribute some of them, but..."
The faces of several sect leaders were overjoyed, but when they heard the word "but", their expressions immediately darkened.
"We are not related to each other, there is no reason for Lu to suffer the loss alone, and all the benefits go to you. What I said makes sense, doesn't it?"
“That makes sense.”
"No problem."
"Master Lu, just tell us what you want. Even the share of the spiritual bamboo can be discussed."
Hey, there’s an unexpected gain!
"Of course we need to discuss this, but there is no rush. Let me first tell you my request..."
Lu Bei sighed, looked into the distance, and said, "Sanqing Peak is a barren place, and my master's mountain gate is far away in Yuezhou. Because the rude and unreasonable head of the mountain gate had a deep feud with my master in the early years, he set all kinds of obstacles to prevent me from returning to the mountain gate. I have been practicing all the way to now, and have survived several near-death experiences. Every drop of sweat I shed is full of hard-earned achievements."
"… "
Okay, it’s very sensational, please skip this part quickly.
"Lu knew that cultivation was not easy, so he opened the gates of the mountain, took out his few savings, and took in those reincarnated immortals who were devoted to the Tao... To be honest, at the beginning, I didn't know that their identities were so special."
Lu Bei shrugged, emphasizing that good people will be rewarded, and then said: "So, I don't need any compensation from you. The only requirement is to treat those reincarnated immortals well. Good food and drink are the most basic requirements. They like to make pills. If you satisfy their hobbies and don't interfere, I will be satisfied."
That’s it
Several leaders looked at each other and found that what Lu Bei wanted was too simple, so simple...
They were unable to meet this request.
"Master Lu, as far as I know, you cooperated with Zhu's Trading Company, and every time you refined a pill, there was Dashengguan..."
"Yes, it is true."
Lu Bei nodded decisively: "Since Alliance Leader Huang has heard about this, he should know that I did not take a penny from this action. All the money went to Zhu's Business and Dashengguan. My original intention was not to make money. I just wanted to satisfy the personal hobbies of my disciples. They like to make pills, so I let them make pills."
"But… "
"No buts. You may not believe me if I tell you this, but the talents of reincarnated immortals are strange. We rely on hard work to cultivate our skills, but they can gain insights by just refining pills. I really envy them."
When Lu Bei said this, he saw that the heads of the sects were all frowning, so he threw out the last red date and said, "Don't panic, everyone. I will also distribute the raw materials for refining the elixir. All you have to do is deliver the finished products to Sanqing Peak every three days."
"Are you serious?" Liu Ao of Dingwang Clan slammed the table and stood up.
A group of reincarnated immortals were brought back, and Sanqing Peak was willing to help train them. Where could you find such a good thing? No matter if it was a trap or not, he was determined to step on it today, and no one could stop him.
"It's more real than real gold!" Lu Bei said it with certainty, daring to bet the lives of all the people in Sijing Peak.
But let him be frank in advance, he will post a notice regarding the expansion of the Novice Village, and it is none of his business how the players choose, whether to stay and continue to eat pickles and drink porridge, or to move to other peaks and become the boss.
Lu Bei thought about it, who would want to be a grandson if they had enough alchemy materials and could eat and drink well as a master? If they stayed at Sanqing Peak, they would have to queue up to use the toilet. In the future, the mountain would definitely be much quieter.
That’s good. Once the news spreads, we’ll be able to attract a wave of fresh blood.
Hearing this, the atmosphere at the table instantly became lively, and everyone kept toasting Lu Bei.
On his personal dashboard, his influence in Jiuzhu Mountain was maxed out, and the favorability of each mountain gate also soared. The most obvious one was Yang Fuliu in Qingguang Temple, whose favorability was directly maxed out.
It's a pity that it's useless. He doesn't think highly of the skills in the Novice Village, so there's no point in exchanging them.
The only one who can be used is the Piaoxiang Sect. The leader Zhao Shiran has an average favorability, which is between a friend and an enemy, that is, a passerby relationship.
"This woman is so cold. It's a pity that we met too late. If she had met before Fox Three, I might have fallen for her."
…
Outside the Qipan Peak, among the high clouds, a green-robed monk overlooked the pavilion.
"Although there is no beautiful water, there are green mountains. Junior sister, your hiding place is really hard for me to find..."
