The next morning.
Du Ge, along with his fellow apprentices and last night's captives, blocked the door of the village head's house at the foot of the mountain, and introduced himself with a smile: "I am Wang Chong, the new head of the Seven Stars Sect, nice to meet the village head."
Behind him, there was a group of curious people, pointing and talking at the shiny bald heads.
Nothing else!
Several monks from Tianlan Valley were only wearing white undergarments, and Douge had written two large black characters "Tianlan" on their backs with a brush.
Below the words, there is a small number written.
Their feet were tied together with ropes, and they all had droopy brows and droopy eyes, looking like prisoners.
The village head opened the door sleepily. Seeing this scene, he was startled and woke up instantly. He clasped his fists and responded: "Greetings, Master Wang."
The servants who were driven down the mountain by Du Ge were all from nearby villages.
Yesterday, what happened in Qixingmen was spread through their mouths and everyone in several villages knew about it.
Two cultivation sects were fighting for territory. Tianlan Valley was more powerful, and Qixing Sect was massacred. Some died, some escaped, and only three or four disciples were left to maintain the sect...
The head of the village always keeps abreast of the latest developments in the village, and he knows everything about the Qixing Gate.
After all, he is an official, so the village head naturally knows that the more at this time, the more he cannot offend the people from the Seven Stars Gate.
They have already reached their dead end. If you provoke their anger and kill him with a sword, who can he turn to for justice
"I wonder why Master Wang came down the mountain?" As the head of the village spoke, his eyes involuntarily swept to the bald men behind Duger. He was surprised. Wasn't it said that the people of Tianlan Valley were very powerful and even killed Master Guan
What's going on with these guys
Tianlan
Are you from Tianlan Valley
well!
Douger sighed and said, "I'm sure the village head has heard about our master's affairs."
The village head clasped his fists again and said, "Master Wang, please accept my condolences. When Master Guan is buried, I will bring people to pay my respects. If you need my help with the funeral, Master Wang, please feel free to ask."
"Mr. Village Head, people who practice cultivation do not care about so many red tape, so please do not worry about the funeral." Du Ge said, "Wang came to see the village head today, and I have something important to tell you..."
Seeing more and more people gathering behind Doug, the village head stepped aside and opened the door: "Master Wang, this is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk in detail."
"No need. It's fine to talk here. What I want to say is also related to everyone." Du Ge clasped his fists and bowed to the people behind him. He then looked at the village head who was full of doubts. "Since the village head has learned about the death of my master, he must also know about the conflict between the Seven Stars Sect and Tianlan Valley."
"I heard some things." The head of the village frowned.
"After my master passed away, I took over the post of the head of the Seven Stars Sect." Du Ge sighed again. "After the drastic changes in the Seven Stars Sect, Wang has learned from the pain and believes that the Seven Stars Sect's indifference to the world is the cause of this disaster. Last night, Wang did not sleep all night. After thinking about it, he decided to change the current situation of the Seven Stars Sect from the root and invite more people to build the Seven Stars Sect together..."
The village head was stunned: "What do you mean by joint construction?"
“It is to allow more people to invest in the Seven Stars Gate by investing money, help the Seven Stars Gate grow bigger and stronger, and create brilliance together.” Doug said.
The village head murmured, "I don't quite understand."
"Sir, the reason why the Seven Stars Sect is in trouble is that there is no one available. Therefore, Wang's next plan for the Seven Stars Sect is to expand the sect, recruit more disciples, and make the Seven Stars Sect one of the best sects in the cultivation world." Du Ge smiled and said, "And if you want to expand the sect, you need a lot of money. The village head knows the current situation of the Seven Stars Sect. There are only four of us left, my junior sister and I, and we definitely can't come up with that much money. So, I thought of raising funds and buying shares."
"Master, do you want us to donate silver to build the Seven Star Gate?" asked the head of the village.
"Donation is equivalent to robbery. Wang is an upright person and disdains to do those dirty things." Du Ge waved his hand and said, "Wang is talking about buying shares, that is, running the Seven Stars Sect as a store. Wang made a preliminary estimate that the land, mountain gate, and even the spiritual energy of the Seven Stars Sect, as well as the resources of my sect, can be converted into about 5 million silver taels. Wang plans to take out 40% of it, exchange it for shares, and raise funds from the public. The silver raised will be used to build the sect and recruit disciples.
In the future, when the sect grows bigger and gradually gets on the right track, the people who previously participated in the investment can receive dividends from Qixing Mountain based on the shares they hold.
To give a simple example, out of 2 million taels, the village head contributed 100,000 taels, which is equivalent to one-fiftieth of the shares of the Qixingmen.
In the future, if the Seven Stars Sect earns a million taels a year, excluding the costs of running the sect, the head of the village can get at least 20,000 taels in dividends. He doesn't need to worry or work hard, he can just sit at home and wait for the money to come in. Why not do it?"
"Master Wang, you are joking. I can't afford one hundred thousand taels." The head of the village said with a smile.
"I'm just making an assumption." Doug smiled. "If you can't come up with 100,000 taels, you can invest 10 taels of silver and get 2 taels of dividends. For a family like the head of the village, it's enough to cover food and clothing expenses for one or two months. If you keep the money at home, it won't generate any other money. It's better to invest it in the Seven Stars Gate and make a seed..."
"Master, that's true, but I've never heard of a sect doing secular business, and I don't know where you practitioners make money?" The village head looked at Du Ge in embarrassment, "How about we discuss this later?" "The village head doesn't understand the sect, so how do you know that the sect has no way to make money?"
Du Ge smiled, "The Seven Stars Sect is a huge treasure mountain with abundant spiritual energy. We can grow some rare medicinal herbs and sell them for a hundred times more than the herbs in the world. The Seven Stars Sect recruits disciples and teaches them the art of cultivation. If we collect some money, it will be a huge income. These are just small amounts of money.
In the future, when the Seven Star Sect grows stronger, the income from conquering other sects can be counted as the sect's income. If they are lucky enough to find one or two spiritual stone veins and mine them, they will be able to make a fortune in one step. The ten taels of silver invested by the village head may be able to be multiplied by a hundred or a thousand times..."
Behind Doug, the people were whispering, as if they were moved by the grand prospects he described.
The youngest sister and the seventh brother were standing behind Doug, their minds were completely confused and they had no idea what their third brother was doing.
What do the things he said have to do with strengthening the sect
Doing these worldly businesses is far inferior to concentrating on cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how big the business is, even if there is another Tianlan Valley, it will still belong to others!
…
When did I agree to invest ten taels of silver
The village head muttered inwardly, then laughed dryly, "Master, it's correct to calculate it this way. But everyone knows the situation of the Seven Stars Gate, and Tianlan Valley..."
"So the village head is worried about the risk issue. Tianlan Valley is nothing to worry about." Doug waved his hand, interrupted the village head, pointed at the bald men from Tianlan Valley behind him, and said, "Does the village head see them? They are the thugs who attacked and killed my Seven Stars Sect. They were subdued by Wang last night. If Wang had not been protected by the ancestors of the Seven Stars Sect and his power had not increased greatly, how could he have dared to come out to raise funds with such a thick face? Wouldn't that be a swindle?"
"Are they really from Tianlan Valley?" asked the head of the village doubtfully.
"Seventh Junior Brother, remove the restriction on 0001." Doug turned around and instructed the Seventh Junior Brother.
The seventh junior brother removed his restraints and untied the ropes on his feet.
"Zero Zero One, tell everyone, are you from Tianlan Valley?" Doug asked with a serious face.
Seeing Douger's cold eyes and his shaking fingers, Ling Lingyi shuddered and said honestly, "Yes, I am a third-generation disciple of Tianlan Valley. My name is Kong Gui. I was captured by Sect Leader Wang last night. Now, I am imprisoned in the Seven Stars Sect with a criminal number of 0001."
"Show everyone your strength." Doug said again.
Before leaving, Doug used the corpse of their fellow apprentice to demonstrate to them what it meant to remove organs from a distance. The miraculous technique almost scared them to death, and in order to save their lives, they dared not act rashly.
and.
In their opinion, as long as they are alive, even if they are tortured, as long as someone from Tianlan Valley comes, they will definitely be able to rescue them...
Ling Ling Ling Yi took a look around, looked at the stone mill on the side of the road, walked over silently, held it with both hands, lifted it above his head easily, then walked around it a few times, and put it back, without sweating and without changing his expression.
This drew cheers from the onlookers.
"The head of the village believes it now, right?" Du Ge casually sealed his meridians again, turned back to look at the head of the village, and said with a smile, "Tianlan Valley and Qixingmen are very far apart. The head of Tianlan Valley has not yet reached the Golden Core stage, so he is no match for my senior master. If they don't come, it's fine, but if they dare to come, they will never come back. By then, we will take over the assets of Tianlan Valley, which will also be the income of Qixingmen."
Use the tiger's skin to make a big banner.
Doug's face was filled with confidence and arrogance.
"Master Wang, when did the Seven Stars Sect have another senior master?" the head of the village asked curiously.
"The Seven Star Sect has been passed down for 500 years. Is it strange that there are seniors in the sect?" Doug glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, with my skills, how could I possibly beat them? You know, even my master is no match for them. Before, the Seven Star Sect was not successful because of the lack of skills. Now that the seniors have completed the skills, even I can take down the people who killed my master overnight. The Seven Star Sect will become stronger in no time."
"…" Li Zheng looked at the people from the Seven Star Sect, still feeling uneasy, and asked, "Master Wang, can I meet the senior from the Seven Star Sect?"
"I'm afraid I won't see the village head anymore." Douge smiled, "It's impolite not to reciprocate. Tianlan Valley bullied me like this. How could the senior swallow this breath? After leaving the skills, he went to cause trouble for Tianlan Valley overnight."
The village head fell silent again.
Doug smiled: "It seems that the village head doesn't believe Wang. Anyway, Qixingmen wants to raise 2 million taels of silver. After all, the small mountain village has no money. It is the responsibility of the village head to be responsible for the villagers."
He shook his head and said, "The money needed to build the Seven Star Gate is huge. Wang originally intended to find those famous and wealthy families. But after thinking about it, we have lived together for many years and are neighbors after all.
If there is an opportunity to make a fortune, you can't just leave it to your neighbors and give it to outsiders.
Therefore, Wang first went to the head of the village. After talking with him, Wang had to go to several other villages and then go to the town to find big households to raise funds. Since the head of the village was cautious, let’s just call it a day!”
The head of the village remained silent. If it was an ordinary business, he would have made the decision. However, when it came to a sect of spiritual practice, if one step went wrong, there would be no place for justice.
Du Ge never left empty-handed. The village chief was a tough guy, so he turned to the people and said, "The village chief is unwilling to invest. Are you willing? I can't deny the entire village because of one person."
