As a huge organization with power across the seven countries, the Iron Blood Alliance has always taken the upper-level route because of the special status of its founder.
Because the reputation and power of the "Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period" were enough to help them overcome all difficulties that came from the upper class.
Because the Fourth Young Master himself is the most powerful person!
So what they did seemed quite ungrounded - witnessing the contract.
Most ordinary people do not need to find such a professional organization to witness trivial contracts, so those who use their business the most are senior officials, wealthy businessmen and nobles from various countries.
Whether they are trading or betting, the money involved is often very huge. At this time, if one party is worried about being cheated, they will ask someone from the Iron Blood Alliance to witness it. Once a breach of contract is discovered afterwards, the Iron Blood Alliance will be responsible for holding the defaulter accountable to protect the interests of the other party.
And given their background, even if the people involved were members of the royal family, they would not be able to escape prosecution.
For example, Kang, the former Duke of Wei, dared to break the contract in public because he had quite a few soldiers under his command. As a result, he was beheaded in public within three days. The same goes for Jinglun Jun of South Korea, but this time the Iron Blood Alliance gave King Han a face and asked him to do it himself, depriving the other party of his title, demoting him to a commoner, and then freezing to death in the snow.
The lives of these people jointly built up the prestige of the Iron-Blooded Alliance, allowing the concept of "iron to be trusted and blood to be righteous. In the iron-blooded formation, there is no obstacle between life and death" to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But now, the fourth son as the pillar has been reduced to three, and Chunshen Jun Huang Xie alone can only guarantee the execution of the contract in Chu State. As for the world, it is beyond our reach.
Not to mention that this part of the power was snatched by Chi Yao from Huang Xie, so even if he wanted to borrow his name, there was no chance.
Although it is said that with his strength and power, he can indeed punish those who violate the contract at will as before, but these can only be achieved by violent means, which is completely different from the original approach of the Iron Blood Alliance.
Regardless of the fact that both Kang and Jing Lun, who broke the contract, died in the end, you would think that the Iron-Blooded Alliance would only act violently. In fact, most of the time, when faced with those high-ranking or sensitive violators, the Iron-Blooded Alliance would just act violently. Have upper-level relationships.
For example, in the case of Jinglun Jun, the Iron Blood Alliance had access to the King of Han, and through some unspeakable deals, they made him give up his younger brother on his own initiative and demoted him to a commoner.
If there is no such relationship, directly attacking King Han's brother, even if there is sufficient reason, will only arouse King Han's disgust, which will not be of any benefit to the Iron Blood Alliance.
But what the current Iron Blood Alliance lacks is just such a high-level relationship. Therefore, they must change their thinking.
"We must continue to witness the contract. This is the signature of the Iron Blood Alliance. If we give up, it will cause internal instability."
Chi Yao's fingertips tapped lightly on the table. After all, the Iron Blood Alliance has been doing this for too many years, and they are very familiar with it from top to bottom. If it were to stop rashly, most people would become at a loss.
"But we can't be like before, rushing to witness every contract."
He mused, "Before taking the job, you need to investigate some of the backgrounds of both parties. If a sensitive person is involved, give up decisively. We need to change the customer base we target and sink the market."
"sink?"
Jing Salamander, Mo Crow and others were thoughtful.
"Yes, it's just what you thought."
Chi Yao nodded slightly, "Reduce the minimum guarantee amount and commission ratio, so that more people who are not so wealthy can become our customers, and we can achieve small profits but quick turnover."
The original business philosophy of the Iron Blood Alliance was to only accept contracts worth a thousand gold or more, and take 10% as a guarantee fee.
This model means not opening for half a year, but opening for half a year.
But it doesn't work anymore. Many contracts involving rich people will involve high-ranking officials. After screening out those candidates who will cause a lot of trouble, there will only be a handful of orders that can be accepted.
But the development of such a large organization requires money. Although Chi Yao can divert some of the support from other places, the Iron Blood Alliance itself still needs to embark on the path of self-sufficiency.
Therefore, without drastically changing the original business, market sinking became the best choice.
"You should follow this idea first. Don't worry about income in the early stage. The main thing is to try it and see if it is feasible."
Chi Yao warned, after all, this was just an idea he came up with. It is still unknown how big the market is for the middle-income people and whether they can support an organization as big as the Iron Blood Alliance.
The only good news at the moment is that he is still rich, so it won't hurt if this attempt fails. But by then, the Iron Blood Alliance may really be forced to carry out a more thorough industrial transformation.
…
…
Shushan, under the sacred Fusang tree.
In the past few years, the new Shushan sect’s mountain gate has been gradually completed. With King Qin's acquiescence, Chi Yao easily invited the Gongshu family, which had long surrendered to Qin.
If it weren't for them and the Mo family, two black technology sects, wanting to build a sect station on the towering Jiange Mountain, it would really be beyond the construction capabilities of this era.
But with the help of the Gongshu family's machine beasts, these are no longer a problem.
Cutting mountains and cracking rocks, digging canals to divert water, logging and building houses, etc...
In just three years, a majestic and ethereal sect garrison stood on the top of the sword pavilion.
Nowadays, the disciples from Shushan have been transferred one after another, and the great elder teaches the new disciples Yuanxiang fighting skills. At the original Shushan station, only a small number of Yu Yuan guards were left near Fusangmu and Yu Yuan.
Today, in the Yuyuan Passage, when Chi Yao smeared his blood on the tree roots to complete the final outline, the skin of the roots suddenly flashed red, and the entire tree seemed to turn into transparent red. The jade crystal then shrunk little by little, and was pulled into the air sea and air hole in his body by Chi Yao.
At the same time, the Nason Sacred Tree, which was originally rooted in the sea of air, seemed to be pulled by something, and began to sway its branches and leaves vigorously, and the sound of rattling resounded throughout the air.
Chi Yao sat cross-legged in the passage, closed his eyes, and carefully guided the Fuso Sacred Tree and the Nathan Sacred Tree into contact with each other.
If you want to upgrade the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu to the Forest Sea Reincarnation Gu, you must combine the two sacred trees. Fortunately, the Nathan Sacred Tree, which is the base of the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu, has the attribute of life and does not conflict with the fire attribute of the Fuso Sacred Tree, so although this step is troublesome, it is not dangerous.
If you want to fuse the hibiscus tree and the laurel tree...
Chi Yao dismissed some distracting thoughts in his mind and concentrated on refining Lin Hai Samsara Gu.
Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu is already a legendary Gu, and its difficulty and consumption can be imagined, so Chi Yao's retreat lasted seven days.
Seven days later, in the sky of Chi Yao's sea of clouds, the tall trees that originally stood had changed their appearance. In addition to the trunk becoming thicker and the crown becoming several times more lush, thin golden flames were igniting on some branches and leaves.
No, if you look carefully, you will see that it is not a flame, but a wisp of rising golden breath, which seems to be burning when you look at it.
Compared with the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu, the Lin Sea Reincarnation Gu can not only take root deeper in the long river of time and go back further, but its ultimate ability is that it can break through the world's barriers.
It was only now that Chi Yao realized that the river of time was not just one layer, but was divided into many levels based on the energy level of the world.
The three worlds he has visited now are all low-energy worlds on the surface, and the root system of Lin Hai's reincarnation Gu can penetrate the barrier between the low-energy world and the medium energy level, allowing him to enter a higher energy level. world.
"But even worlds like Under One Person and Qin Shi Mingyue, where martial arts are mixed with many fantasy elements, are only considered low-level. In the world of medium-level, you can probably directly cultivate immortals, right?"
Chi Yao silently guessed, "With my current strength, there is no big problem in walking sideways in a low-energy world, but if it involves cultivating immortals..."
Randomly imagining the scene of flying swords and magic weapons dancing all over the sky, even Chi You's body, which he was proud of, could not bring him more sense of security.
"It's still not strong enough!"
He sighed.
When entering a new world, there is no way to guarantee that the initial environment will be safe, so you must have some of the most basic risk resistance capabilities.
Thinking from this direction, the best way is to enhance the ability to save life and escape.
But it is not easy to find means in a low-energy world that can save lives in a higher-energy world.
After thinking about it, Chi Yao only thought of the puppetry technique of the Mo family and Gongshujia. If the puppets can be used to help explore the path, the risks that the main body needs to bear can be greatly reduced. The reason why the Yin Yang family's hanging silk puppet technique and corpse poison technique are not used is because these two skills can easily be regarded as evil methods.
The battle between good and evil is an unavoidable topic in almost all the worlds of immortality. If it happened to be seen by a righteous cultivator, wouldn't it mean that he would die on the spot?
On the contrary, things like mechanism puppets are relatively neutral.
Just when the Shushan sect was carrying out large-scale construction projects, they had a very close relationship with the public losers. Starting from this aspect, it shouldn't be a big problem to learn some simple mechanism skills.
Of course, the best way is to directly make yourself strong enough.
If we really want to talk about it, because there are traces of Jiutian Xuannv, the current world is not completely a standard low-energy world.
For example, if Loulan lost the mythical beast Pixiu, if he could get it and simply cultivate it, it should be enough to cope with most crises even in the world of immortality.
After all, it's just a medium-level world, and it may not be as exaggerated as I imagined.
After some thought, Chi Yao sucked up the last bit of evil spirit in Yu Yuan, walked out of the passage, and returned to the new Shushan Mountain Gate with the Yu Yuan guards who stayed here.
The new Shanmen Station was built entirely in accordance with Chi Yao's requirements.
After breaking through the mist in the mountains, I saw a tall building like a sword hanging alone on the green peak, with towering eaves on three sides and green sills across the sky. Outside the building, the green peaks pierce the sky, arranged in staggered heights, with crystal clear green color, and the mountain light is like life. The white clouds on the outside are like ribbons, winding on the mountainside, and there are many jade palaces and towers, hidden among the white clouds and flower trees.
There is not only Chi Yao's design work, but also a lot of Gongshu's uncanny craftsmanship. The combination of the two led to the construction of this sacred mountain and fairy pavilion with beautiful scenery, pure scenery, and countless atmospheres.
On the day of completion, Gongshu Qiu, who was responsible for the matter, once said, "Although I have never seen the magical realm and the city of organs in the Mohist legend, but no matter what, this place will definitely not be inferior!"
Chi Yao readily agreed with this evaluation.
Since Shushan is to be built into a holy land of swordsmanship in the future, then the holy land must naturally have the spirit and layout of a holy land.
The first impression is important.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a huge disappointment if the swordsmen who came all the way here only saw one or two small thatched houses here after traveling over the mountains and ridges?
Although the mountain is not high, there are immortals and spirits.
But since you have the ability to create a holy land style that matches your status, why not do it?
Of course, although appearance is important, Chi Yao knows best what the foundation of the new Shushan sect is.
--fencing!
If you want to become a recognized holy land of swordsmanship, you must have top-notch swordsmanship inheritance.
This kind of thing did not exist in Shushan, so he could only create it himself.
After digesting the inherited swordsmanship that comes with Chi You's sword, Chi Yao's swordsmanship is already good, but it is Chi You's swordsmanship after all and is not suitable for most people to learn.
So after observing Gai Nie's Hundred Steps Flying Sword at close range, Chi Yao had an idea.
That is the kind of traditional swordsmanship that is not taught to Shushan disciples.
Instead, he created a type of swordsmanship unique to Shushan—Flying Sword Gu!
This is not only because he himself is the most familiar with voodoo, but also because there is a inheritance of voodoo in Shushan.
As for the materials and Gu recipes, after many comparisons, he chose a unique ore deep in Yuyuan.
Because this kind of ore has been infiltrated by Yuansha's energy for many years, it generally shows a black base with imperceptible dark red lines.
If you use the internal energy of the Great Sun Bathing Abyss Art to warm and nourish, you can quickly form an effect similar to [Control of Objects].
And if you add your own blood essence to it and refine it with a special technique, you can refine it into a Yuansha Sword Gu!
This kind of sword Gu has the characteristics of controlling objects. It can be controlled with Qi, and it can be agile and flexible. The attack distance depends on the sword master's skill. The farthest one is not inferior to Gui Gu's Hundred Steps Flying Sword.
And the most important point is that because it is a flying sword, the number of controls is not limited to the number of human arms. As long as you have enough internal energy and can be distracted and used multiple times, there is no upper limit to the amount of sword Gu you can refine.
The only shortcoming is that this kind of sword Gu cannot carry people to fly, which is still the most critical step away from the sword immortal in Chi Yao's mind.
After all, lifting yourself up by yourself is not that easy to solve.
In such a low-energy world, Newton's words still have some weight.
…
…
After Xin Shushan was on the right track, Chi Yao set his sights on the next target - the Moh family.
If he remembered correctly, according to the information he received from Loulan envoy Lu Fang, the dragon soul was in the city, and the mythical beast Pixiu was the outer protective shell of the dragon soul.
If you want to get them, it seems that you have to break into the outer world.
