Chapter 1136: Combining Kindness and Severity
"This...could this be the legendary Condensation Pill!?" The top-level Jindan cultivator, holding a porcelain bottle, looked in disbelief, but said to himself: "It's unmistakable! This is the Concentration Pill! I was lucky enough to see it, but I missed it!”
"Concentrating Pill! Its function is to purify spiritual thoughts and condense spiritual consciousness! Fellow Taoist, I see that your true energy has been flowing smoothly, but you have been at the top level of the Golden Pill for many years, right? If you have the help of this Concentrating Pill, you may be able to Try to gather your spiritual consciousness. If you can gather your spiritual consciousness, you won’t be able to achieve the level of the Nascent Soul Ancestor in the future. The Golden Core realm will be the pinnacle!”
"This... this concentration pill..."
Suddenly, the top-level Jindan monk looked at Xiao Mian worriedly.
"Xiao always likes to be a villain before being a gentleman! Fellow Taoist! If you agree to follow Xiao, this concentration pill will be Xiao's meeting gift! Of course, there are ugly words ahead: If fellow Taoist is like Gan Ming, he is like a snake and a rat. Duan, his fate will be your fate!"
"..."
Xiao Mian's words not only left the top-level Jindan monk holding the Condensation Pill speechless, but also the others were hesitant and hesitant.
This is obviously a sacrifice of life!
But after thinking about it again, someone with a flexible mind gradually became enlightened.
Idle monks like them, who were initially dissatisfied with the strife in Tiandu City, but who eventually had to join the ANBU to seek shelter, were almost all alone.
As casual cultivators, especially as outside cultivators in Tiandu City, their cultivation environment is extremely harsh and their cultivation conditions are extremely difficult.
Even the rich spiritual energy in Tiandu City has little to do with them...
They or their ancestors went through a lot of hardships before arriving in Zhongzhou and sneaking into Tiandu City. Isn't what they are pursuing what Xiao Mian promised now?
If Nanyue Xiao Mian can really give them all the cultivation resources they want, even if he sells his life to them, what's the problem?
Even if it doesn't work, it can still leave a good name for reviving South Vietnam!
What if it works out?
Perhaps, we can first take a look at the price of Xiao Mian from South Vietnam...
With this mentality of waiting for a price, the top-level Jindan monk held the porcelain bottle tightly.
"Okay! As long as Fellow Daoist Xiao can keep his word, I, Huang Yan, will follow you!"
"Okay! That Condensation Pill belongs to Brother Huang!" Xiao Mian smiled while stroking his hands, and flew a stream of light towards Huang Yan. The streamer was caught by Huang Yan and manifested into a transfer jade. simple. While Huang Yan was at a loss, Xiao Mian said in a good voice: "Brother Huang, it seems that he has earth-attribute spiritual roots, but the exercises he practices do not seem to be pure earth-attribute exercises. It is not very good to practice like this." That’s right!”
As Xiao Mian spoke, Huang Yan felt something in his heart and was already observing the jade slip that passed down the martial arts.
"The Secret of Carrying Virtue", this is the content of that jade slip!
Huang Yan trembled all over and stared at Xiao Mian with disbelief.
Xiao Mian smiled slightly and nodded.
In a hurry, Huang Yan put away the jade slip that taught him the skills and bowed to Xiao Mian again.
This time, although the two of them said nothing, it was worth a thousand words.
Huang Yan, to put it nicely, was repaying Xiao Mian for his kindness, but to put it harshly, he was clearly bribed by Xiao Mian!
"Everyone! If we want to revitalize South Vietnam, we Nanyue monks must first strengthen our own cultivation and abilities. Xiao is not talented, and he has gained a lot from traveling around the world. If you are willing to accompany Xiao to participate in this grand event, you will be better in the future. Whatever you need, please give it to Mr. Xiao, just like this Condensing Pill. As long as all fellow Taoists improve their cultivation to the top level of the Golden Pill, Mr. Xiao promises that everyone will be given a Concentrating Pill and will never break his promise!"
Xiao Mian's words completely devastated the remaining monks.
Besides, Huang Yan is the one with the highest cultivation level among all the people.
Even he couldn't escape Xiao Mian's sugar-coated bullets, so why did everyone try to escape?
Almost overwhelmingly, everyone expressed their willingness to follow Xiao Mian.
Although Xiao Mian treats everyone equally, in subtle ways, he distributes some different materials based on the differences in cultivation and spiritual roots of each person.
To buy people's hearts - to buy people's hearts nakedly!
This isn't the end yet!
Just when everyone was pleasantly surprised at the benefits they got from Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian flipped through it, took out several more jade slips, and distributed them to everyone.
Engraved inside is a contract document.
The content of the contract is an equal employment contract between both parties.
During the period of employment, Xiao Mian tried his best to meet everyone's cultivation needs. When Xiao Mian needed help, everyone tried their best to complete the tasks assigned by Xiao Mian.
There are many detailed terms, but the general direction has been finalized.
"Everyone! Your words are empty words, but your words are your evidence!"
"good!"
It was Huang Yan again who was the first to set an example.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, signing the contract is not only beneficial to Xiao Mian, but also beneficial to everyone.
Although the contract is not enforceable, it is always a witness.
Of course, this kind of testimony is more of a spiritual bondage...
In the end, both parties were happy.
Under the guidance of Xiao Mian, the group walked out of the corridor.
Only Zhen Lingzi was left in the huge cave - previously, according to Xiao Mian's instructions, Zhen Lingzi and others had teleported the other monks out.
Zhen Lingzi took out a bunch of jade orders and distributed them to every monk.
These jade orders will be their new identities in Tiandu City in the future.
As long as they weren't jumping up and down like Xiao Mian, Tianducheng would be unlikely to notice the holders of these false identities.
Of course, this is nothing more than a stopgap measure.
If they are loyal enough, Xiao Mian can even ask Hei Bu to help them forge a second identity that is as fake as Xiao Nanming's.
After that, under the leadership of Zhen Lingzi, everyone left the cave space.
The teleportation array suddenly glowed, and Xiao Mian thought silently in his heart.
Although the Anbu is disbanded, Jingzhe will surely - thunder shakes the world!
When Xiao Mian came down from the teleportation formation in Tiandu City, he was alone again.
After finally finding the formation spirit child, Xiao Mian brought it back to Fumanju.
In the quiet room, Xiao Mian and Zhen Lingzi had a secret discussion.
"Today's Jingzhe is just a toddler. The top priority is not to cause trouble in Tiandu City, but to strengthen himself as soon as possible!"
"How are you doing?"
"There should be no doubt about the loyalty of the old team members of ANBU, right?" After Zhen Lingzi nodded, Xiao Mian said happily: "They all seem to be auxiliary professional monks, especially the three elders Ban Hong, Hua Yunqing and Qu Shengqing. , in their respective fields, they are all masters of the sect who are on par with you, Senior Jin Lingzi. It is a pity that they are anonymous! You want to open a shop, one can hoard spiritual stones and wealth, and the other is to collect intelligence. The third one can be regarded as a foothold for Jingzhe."
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that we people are not visible to the public! To do business in Tiandu City, we must report to all levels and go through customs for approval. Although my forged identity jade order can deceive some screening magic weapons, it cannot It’s not everything!”
"Senior, please be patient! We just want to run shops, and we don't necessarily have to apply ourselves - it's okay to take over some shops that others are not managing well, right?"
"This...even so, it needs to be reviewed!"
"It doesn't matter! There is no need for us to come forward, there will naturally be reliable people to help us complete the review process, and we can just wait and do business with peace of mind!"
"..., you mean: Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?"
The news about the good relationship between Xiao Mian and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is known all over the world.
Xiao Mian didn't want to hide anything, so he nodded and said nothing with a smile.
Seeing this, Zhen Lingzi felt determined.
The Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce came forward and said that it wanted to open a shop in Tiandu City, which was almost a piece of cake - who told the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to do this?
But if the matter is exposed, it is inevitable that the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce will be...
ha!
What are you worrying about?
If the truth is exposed, it's up to two people to decide whether he will survive or not!
At that moment, Zhen Lingzi finalized some details with Xiao Mian, then exited the quiet room and went to contact other key members of Jingzhe.
Naturally, Xiao Mian did these trivial matters by himself without any trouble, which was too much trouble.
Taking out the Beidou Si Nanpan, Xiao Mian originally wanted to contact Xie Ying.
But after thinking about it again, Xiao Mian decided to go to Tongbao Pavilion himself.
After all, if the matter he wants to discuss with Xie Ying next is determined through Beidou Si Nanpan, it would be a bit lacking in sincerity.
Some things must be discussed in person before they can be consummated.
Because Fuman had already set up a teleportation array in the center, and the other end of the teleportation array was Tongbao Pavilion. Therefore, it was extremely convenient for Xiao Mian to find Xie Ying.
But when Xiao Mian saw Xie Ying, the latter pointed at Xiao Mian's nose with a look of shock on his face.
"You...you kid, you really don't know how to write the word "death"? I clearly told you not to leave Fumanju, why didn't you listen?"
"Aren't you going out? Are you waiting to be blocked by that old thief?"
"What!? You...you mean that Senior Kong Konger found Fumanju?"
"Nonsense! Brother! You are not kind! You are also blatantly saying that I am the supervisor of your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce after all, and Fumanju is the property of your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. What is the result? Isn't it unnoticed by others? Invasion? If I hadn’t been so lucky, I would have become the ghost of that senior’s subordinate, and I would never see you again!”
"...I see you don't lack arms or legs either!"
"That's my good fortune, young master!"
"Come on! Come on! Don't give me an advantage and be good! But now that Senior Kong Kong'er has found you and you are safe and sound, Feitian Sect's affairs will be fine."
"That's right! But I still need my brother to help me test it a little more!"
"How do you want to test it?"
"Feitian Sect, didn't you send me a list of lost items? Brother! Now I want to buy some top-quality five-color stones from you. Is that possible?"
"Five colored stones?"
After listening to Xiao Mian's words, Xie Ying was confused.
If the list of lost items passed by the Feitian Sect was not deliberately mysterious, a large number of the lost items from the Feitian Sect were top-quality five-color stones. The quantity and quality of the stolen five-color stones made even Xie Ying secretly dumbfounded when he saw them.
If nothing else, all those five-color stones should have fallen into Xiao Mian's pocket.
But now, when Xiao Mian opened his mouth, he wanted to buy the best five-color stone!
When did five-color stones become so popular?
Although he didn't understand what kind of medicine Xiao Mian was selling in the gourd, Xie Ying still agreed to Xiao Mian's request - after all, the five-color stones Xiao Mian needed were extremely large.
Even in Xie Ying's eyes, this is a big deal!
No matter what you want the five-color stone for, just get the spiritual stone first!
This is the usual thinking pattern of pure businessmen like Xie Ying.
Although the number of five-color stones obtained from the Feitian Sect is extremely large, after the previous creation of the Immortal Stone Space, very few are left.
Thinking of the other use of the five-color stone, Xiao Mian had to prepare for a rainy day.
Moreover, by purchasing the five-color stone in large quantities through Tongbao Pavilion, he could also test the reaction of Feitian Sect - although Xiao Mian was purchasing the five-color stone, not selling it!
But the five-color stone occupied the vast majority of the lost items of Feitian Sect.
If someone purchased the five-color stone in large quantities, someone would sell it at a high price.
At that time, we can see some clues from the response measures of Feitian Sect.
After completing the transaction of the five-color stone with Xie Ying, Xiao Mian did not leave immediately. It can even be said that the five-color stone is just a drop in the ocean!
Today, Xiao Mian came to discuss a big deal with Xie Ying!
"Brother! You showed your might last time and swept away a lot of properties from the Chen family, right?"
"Hmph! You kid, you come to me now and say this, are you trying to get a kickback? Those were all bought by my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce with spiritual stones!"
"It's true that I spent spiritual stones! But the spiritual stones spent by your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce are probably less than 30% of the value of those properties, right?"
"In business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, what do you say?"
"So, I want to discuss a deal with you, brother, I wonder if you are interested?"
"..., discuss a deal? The two of us? Please make it clear!"
Faced with Xie Ying's questioning, Xiao Mian kept silent.
He took a cup of spiritual tea from the coffee table, took a sip, and then, in front of Xie Ying, he spit it on the ground without any grace.
"Bah! Brother! You are using this inferior stuff to entertain a distinguished guest like me?"
"Inferior stuff? This is the sixth-grade spiritual tea..."
"Stop! I knew you were a frugal person, but you are too stingy! Today I will let you taste what the sixth-grade spiritual tea is!"
While speaking, Xiao Mian casually wiped his hand, and a set of tea sets appeared on the coffee table...
