Volume Two: The Wind Rises and Spiritual Clouds Chapter 167: Su Ruxue: What is the Dragon and Tiger Pill?
"Dad, my daughter is in good health. You don't have to worry."
Su Ruxue put her hand on Lin Dongjiu's arm, leaned against him very affectionately, and responded with a smile.
"Well...that's good!"
Su Bei glanced at Su Ruxue's little action, frowned slightly, turned to look at Lin Dongjiu, and said with a hint of scrutiny:
"I heard from Elder Fang that you want to open an alchemy pavilion, and also said that you want to subvert the entire elixir market. If you have such an ambition, please tell me your specific ideas, and I will consider whether to give it to you in the name of Luoxia Sect.
You open a Dan Pavilion."
"Back to the sect master, my idea is to carry out a complete transformation in our sect and build a complete industrial chain by purchasing, processing and selling the raw materials for alchemy."
"It doesn't matter if we don't have enough alchemy masters. We disciples can all be alchemy masters. We don't need experience in alchemy. We only need to output spiritual power. Elder Fang and Ruxue should know the specific operations."
"As for the pill furnaces, we only need to purchase a batch of pill furnaces of average quality. In this way, our sect's thousands of disciples can produce tens of thousands of pills a day without worrying about supply problems!"
"As long as we purchase raw materials at high prices, sell elixirs at low prices, and engage in price wars with them, those old elixir houses are no match for us."
"Of course, if they sell them at reduced prices like us, I will introduce several new elixirs that have never been seen on the market.
We not only want to seize the elixir market in the immortal world, but also open and expand the elixir market in the secular world and sell some elixirs suitable for mortals, such as body-building elixirs, beauty elixirs, dragon and tiger elixirs..."
Su Ruxue said confusedly: "Although I have never heard of this body-building pill and beauty-preserving pill, I can probably guess a thing or two about its uses, but what is this dragon-tiger pill?"
Lin Dongjiu winked at her and said with a smile, "I'll tell you when I get back!"
"Ahem!"
Su Bei coughed heavily and said with a straight face: "Ruxue, please don't interrupt yet, let him continue."
"And I also have a complete marketing strategy. The old elixirs are sold in limited quantities, and new elixirs require a deposit for subsequent purchases. We have created a membership level system. The higher the consumption, the higher the membership and the higher the discount. Then we open up resources to recruit
Invest in franchisees and collect franchise fees... In this way, it is only a matter of time before Dan Pavilion is opened all over Lingyun Country!"
Lin Dongjiu's words made Su Beilei and others confused, but they were too embarrassed to ask for details. Anyway, he should be able to explain it by then.
Lin Dongjiu clenched his fists, his eyes flashing:
"There is only one purpose for doing this! That is...to make money!"
To make money...Su Bei fell into deep thought. He thought about it for a moment and said, "Then it will be as you say!"
"The resources our sect allocates to its disciples have been tight year after year, and now we are in need of a breakthrough for additional income. If your Dan Pavilion is successful, it will really solve the sect's urgent need!"
Elder Fang Lei was also a little excited: "Then we old bones will join you in the trouble! I will go find the accountant to allocate money now and buy it for thousands of alchemy furnaces first!"
"With the full support of the sect master and all the elders, it will be difficult to open the Dan Pavilion!"
Lin Dongjiu laughed, and then said:
"But I have a small request. I only want the entire income of the Dan Pavilion in the first month. Three shares of the subsequent income will be given to Ruxue and seven shares will be left to the sect. How about that?"
"For Ruxue?"
Su Bei couldn't help but take a second look at him. If Lin Dongjiu's assumptions were followed, Dan Pavilion's profits would be quite terrifying.
And as time goes by, Dan Pavilion becomes stronger and stronger, and the subsequent income will grow at an unimaginable rate. Unexpectedly, Lin Dongjiu gave this income that was enough to make everyone jealous to Su Ruxue without even blinking an eye.
Lin Dongjiu met Su Bei's gaze and said meaningfully: "What's Ruxue's is mine, and what's mine is Ruxue's. What difference does it make to whom this income is given to?"
Su Ruxue's face turned red with embarrassment and she pinched Lin Dongjiu quietly.
This brat actually dared to take the initiative...Su Bei saw it and scolded him in his heart, but he just nodded calmly.
He wondered again: "But why do you only want Dange's first month's income?"
"The sect master is unaware that Lingyun Country is about to face an unprecedented turmoil, which is also related to the life and death of our sect. I cannot stand by and watch.
This money is not reserved for random spending, but used by me to recruit troops and buy horses. It is very likely that it will not be enough by then, and I may have to borrow some from the Luoxia Sect..."
Lin Dongjiu showed a harmless smile and took this opportunity to give Su Bei another shot in advance.
"Unrest? This..." Subei and Fang Lei looked at each other and asked in surprise at the same time: "What do you mean by this?"
Lin Dongjiu had no choice but to tell the whole story of the Demon Palace's conspiracy again. Even though he was going to vomit after talking about it, he still couldn't do it without telling it.
It’s so annoying!
Both Su Bei and Fang Lei looked shocked, and Lin Dongjiu said directly:
"In order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down the inside. Our sect has many worms planted by the Demon Palace, including an elder!"
Su Bei exclaimed: "Who is it?!"
Lin Dongjiu said bluntly: "Elder Pang Qipang!"
"Pang Qi has been operating in the sect for many years. In addition to the demon disciples installed by the Demon Palace in our sect, there should be many disciples and managers who follow him. If possible, we should find a way to completely uproot them.
, to avoid future troubles.”
"Well...how to uproot it, I have to think about it again." Su Bei frowned and thought deeply.
Lin Dongjiu pinched his chin and said: "There is no need to rush about this matter. I need seven days. It will not be too late to get rid of him after seven days. Our first priority is to complete the Dan Pavilion and let the funds flow in, and then make other plans."
"The past seven days...have been quite busy!"
Su Bei and Fang Lei each nodded. Lin Dongjiu told him about the store promised by Leng Fei, the Lord of Blackwater City, and told Su Bei to send someone to negotiate now and try to clean up the Dan Pavilion shop tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Can be opened directly.
After Su Bei agreed, Lin Dongjiu explained a few more words and left Chiqing Peak with Su Ruxue.
After the two left, Fang Lei stared at the direction Lin Dongjiu left and said with emotion:
"Lin Dongjiu is a really good kid. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is also calm-minded, brave and strategic, and has a great sense of the overall situation.
You made the right decision to choose him as your chief disciple. He is a good candidate to be a leader! Even if the Luoxia Sect is handed over to him in the future, I will feel at ease.
It’s just that this kid is too low-key. If I had known that Hong Yun had accepted such a precious disciple, I would have snatched him away at any cost!"
"Haha, you can't force such a thing as fate."
Subei chuckled, then sighed and said:
"Well, to be honest, when I chose him as the chief disciple, I just wanted to train him as the successor of the Luoxia Sect.
It's just that I am willing to hand over the Luoxia Sect to him, but he may not be willing to take it!"
Hong Yun smiled and said: "Look at what you said, our Luoxia Sect is one of the five major sects of Lingyun Kingdom after all. Although he is the prince of Lingyun Kingdom, that is not just a false name for kingship in the secular world. We cultivators have always been
Disdainful.
And I’m sure that with Lin Dongjiu’s character, it’s impossible for him to return to the Yin family. Why wouldn’t he be happy if you passed on the position of sect leader to him?”
"Elder Fang, although you are right, you are only half right!"
Su Bei said helplessly: "Lin Dongjiu did express to me that he will not compete for secular kingship and is willing to stay in Luoxia Sect, but do you really think he will stay in Luoxia Sect forever?
It’s not like we have never been young. Think about it, who doesn’t want to see the outside world when they are young?
Especially for a young man as courageous and capable as him, how could he be willing to settle for nothing!"
Fang Lei opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Su Bei smiled bitterly and said: "And I have a hunch that Lin Dongjiu is not destined to belong to the Luoxia Sect. He is not a scaly fish in the pond, but a dragon. Sooner or later he will soar into the sky.
Maybe for him, the Luoxia Sect is just his starting point, and the real end point may be in Tianzhou, or even more... in the Immortal World!"
Fang Lei was silent for a while and said calmly: "You speak highly of him."
"It's not that I think highly of him, it's just the fact." Su Bei spread his hands.
"Then why haven't you betrothed Ruxue to him? It's not like you can't see that this girl Ruxue has a deep affection for Lin Dongjiu, and he is also sincerely good to Ruxue. What else are you dissatisfied with?
?”
Fang Lei raised his eyebrows and said: "These two children are a match made in heaven. If they get married, you will be Lin Dongjiu's father-in-law, and the Luoxia Sect will be his home.
In this way, no matter how far Lin Dongjiu goes in the future, home will always be his concern, and there is no way he will not come back."
Su Bei frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "I understand everything you said, but can Ruxue keep up with Lin Dongjiu?"
"The essence of love is to grow old together with the person you love."
"But, this is only for mortals in the secular world. What we immortal cultivators pursue is strength, the Tao, and immortality! Therefore, we immortal cultivators call our significant other a Taoist couple, not a partner."
Su Bei glanced at Fang Lei: "You said that if one day, Lin Dongjiu really climbed to the top of a mountain where countless people can look up, would he still take a look at Ruxue standing at the bottom of the mountain?
I'm afraid... he will regard Ruxue as a burden on his path to immortality and abandon her!"
"You are worrying too much! Lin Dongjiu will not tell you what he said!"
Fang Lei stood up, his tone a little unhappy:
"I think Lin Dongjiu is different from those cold-blooded immortal cultivators. In other words, he is not like an immortal cultivator, but more like a humane mortal."
"Sect Master, do you still want Ruxue to continue to hate you? The opportunity is right in front of you. If you don't seize it firmly, you will definitely regret it."
After Fang Lei said that, he ignored Su Bei and went to make a fire to make elixirs.
Su Bei stood quietly for a long time, then turned and left.
...
Lin Dongjiu and Su Ruxue returned to Xianyun Peak, only to see a person standing outside the yard, and under his feet were two piles of books as high as half a person...
"Little clever one?"
Lin Dongjiu glanced at him and hurriedly came forward to greet him: "When did you come here? Come on, come inside and sit down."
"Boss...Boss! I have been working in the accounting room, and I just heard that you are back today, so I...are late!"
Little Jiling wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked a little panicked.
"No problem!"
Lin Dongjiu walked over and patted him on the shoulder. He looked at the books on the ground and wondered, "Why did you bring so many books?"
Little Jiling looked around and said in a low voice: "Boss, this is not a book, but an account book!"
Lin Dongjiu looked at his mysterious appearance, frowned and said, "Come, let's go into the house and talk."
"I'll make you a pot of tea and you can chat slowly."
Su Ruxue took the teapot and went to the kitchen.
Xiao Jiling thanked Su Ruxue sincerely, and then said to Lin Dongjiu:
"Boss, my position in the sect is as the steward of the accounting room. Recently, I have reviewed the sect's accounts for the past ten years and found that there are big problems in them."
Lin Dongjiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Someone is making false accounts?"
Little Jiling nodded: "Yes, the false accounts in the past ten years have almost cost the sect nearly 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones!"
"Because the amount of money involved was too large, I never dared to tell others. Today I heard someone say that you came back alive, boss, and were appointed as the chief disciple by the sect master, so I came to see you, boss, as soon as possible.
Boss, what should we do about this?"
Lin Dongjiu thought for a while and asked: "Don't worry, who is responsible for managing the finances in our sect?"
Little Jiling shrank and said, "Yes...it's Elder Pang!"
Lin Dongjiu stood up when he heard this and said excitedly: "Do you have all the evidence in your hands?"
Xiao Jiling pointed to the account books on the ground: "They are all there. These account books can be regarded as evidence."
Lin Dongjiu patted Xiao Jiling on the shoulder: "Little Jiling, your nickname is indeed worthy of your name! You have made a great contribution this time!"
Xiao Jiling looked confused and had no idea what Lin Dongjiu was talking about.
"That old guy Pang Qi has been greedy for so many spiritual stones, and he has no idea how many little mice he has to help him, so he will take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the sect!"
Lin Dongjiu rubbed his hands and explained:
"Little Clever, take these account books to the sect leader now and explain the situation to him, but you must tell him not to act rashly first. If you want to do something, you have to deal with him in a big way!"
"Also, let me give you a task..."
...
After Xiao Jiling left, Lin Dongjiu paced around the room with a gloomy expression on his face.
Seeing his busy appearance, Su Ruxue felt distressed and said, "Xiao Lin, please rest early, don't exhaust yourself."
Lin Dongjiu stopped, picked up Su Ruxue's soft and delicate body, and said with a bad smile on his face: "Don't you want to know what Longhu Pill is? I'll tell you now."
"Oh, what are you going to do?"
Feeling Lin Dongjiu's dishonest hands reaching into her dress, Su Ruxue's face instantly turned red and her eyes became blurred.
Lin Dongjiu carried Su Ruxue to the bed and gently untied her fairy skirt.
At this moment, Su Ruxue suddenly grabbed Lin Dongjiu's hands, her eyes slightly red:
"Xiao Lin..."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Dongjiu held her little hand and said softly.
"Xiao Lin...I...I really want to marry you, will you marry me?"
Su Ruxue's body trembled slightly, as if she was eager to hear Lin Dongjiu's answer.
"Silly girl, you are my Lin Dongjiu's woman, I will definitely marry you."
Lin Dongjiu answered very seriously.
He knew that Su Ruxue was a very insecure girl and that her world was so small that it could only accommodate him.
He also knew that this girl who was willing to use her body to shield him from the knife was worthy of his lifelong love!
"I love you, Xiaolin!"
Su Ruxue hugged Lin Dongjiu's neck and took the initiative to kiss him.
