In the blink of an eye, another fifty years have passed.
The three major factions in the Wu Kingdom are not in a good situation with each other.
The dirty things that happened in private among the three major sects have been directly exposed to the sun in recent years.
Although everyone actually knows, which country and which faction does not do these dirty things?
But when the matter is spread out, the person who attracts the most attention becomes you.
During this period of time, the world of cultivation in Wu Kingdom has been in a state of turmoil.
Every once in a while, all kinds of weird things can make the surrounding sects take a bite.
There are so many things like this that everyone loses face.
The small factions lack trust in them, and the official attitude of the Wu Kingdom is ambiguous.
Many of the things they produce were originally intended for these small sects.
Although there is no explicit boycott by the small sects, the business of the three major sects has been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
There is nothing the three major factions can do.
Your stuff is so good, but people don't want to buy it, so you can only watch.
It is impossible to really engage in forced buying and selling!
With the decrease in income, everyone's life gradually began to become difficult.
Although the sect's business was hit, it actually had little impact on him, Han Qu.
After all, there is almost no business directly under his jurisdiction. The business has long been owned by each family. Only the mined spirit stone mines are firmly in his hands.
Among the three major sects, the only exception is the business under Qing Lei Zhai Han Buli.
Elixir, spells, class real estate, children's training classes for cultivators, youth improvement classes, and middle-aged advanced training classes.
His business covers Qingleizhai's sphere of influence.
He directly skipped the business with the small sect, and while doing business with the casual cultivators, he also focused on the mortals.
Who doesn’t want his son to become a dragon and his daughter to become a phoenix?
Han Buli's approach is like directly abandoning big customers and focusing on gathering retail investors.
Although the individual returns of these businesses are not high, there are enough casual cultivators and ordinary people who can't stand them!
With so many people, even a small portion of them are willing to consume, it can be considered a good business in the long run.
Moreover, this business is a completely new route that is completely independent of Qinglei Zhai’s existing system.
This made Han Qu think highly of Han Buli's abilities.
But Han Buli, who had high hopes, did not entirely focus on these things.
Most of the things are handled by the new generation of Han family children, and Han Buli only needs to control the direction.
Most of his time is still spent on cultivation.
On this day, Han Qu was sitting at the door of the secret room.
Inside the door is Han Buli, who has completed his foundation building and is approaching the golden elixir stage.
Han Qu recalled the situation in recent years with many emotions.
As the external income of Qinglei Zhai dropped sharply, many conflicts occurred among many families in the sect due to interests.
My business has been affected, and the cultivation supplies for the children in the clan have decreased.
But yours is still going strong. The family has enough food and clothing, so how can it not be missed?
Your family's business was quickly copied by others.
But some businesses have long been regarded as exclusive by others. If you insist on getting involved first, it would be weird if you don't start a fight.
Han Buli's business is now coveted by many families.
Everything has not gotten worse now. In Han Qu's opinion, it is because he is suppressing it with his cultivation.
Han Bu will be promoted to Jindan immediately, and only he knows the news. He didn't even tell Ye Kong.
I am just worried that in this increasingly turbulent moment, someone will secretly cause trouble.
He looked up at the sky and murmured: "Counting the time, it should be almost time."
At this moment, a golden mist formed around Han Buli in the secret room.
Golden mist swirled around Han Buli.
Han Buli immediately felt his spiritual energy, as if he had awakened, and seemed to realize that there was a better home in his body.
The spiritual energy gradually hovered in his belly, constantly compressing into a liquid state.
As the golden mist penetrated into Han Buli's chest, the liquid ball gradually solidified and turned into a small golden ball.
As the spiritual energy surged into it, Han Buli discovered that the amount of spiritual energy that could be stored in the golden elixir was extremely large, more than twice that of the previous foundation-building perfection.
After the golden light completely dissipated, Han Buli felt himself.
The golden elixir in the body has been completely formed.
And its body is strong, stronger than some steel materials.
After Han Buli thought about it for a while, he stood up and walked out of the secret room.
Seeing the door to the secret room being opened, Han Qu raised his head and asked, "Is it done?"
Han Buli nodded and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
Hearing Han Buli's affirmative reply, Han Qu suddenly felt a little relieved.
The Han family finally has a successor!
Han Buli is not only talented and highly cultivated, but also good at handling all kinds of things. He is completely qualified to be the next leader in his mind.
Although the head of Qingleizhai would probably not be able to allow two people from the same family.
But now, he not only has the power, but also has the strongest cultivation. Many things can be realized, and they can only be realized according to his ideas.
He said to Han Buli: "Do your best."
He did not express these thoughts to Han Buli.
Because the current Han Buli is not enough to shoulder these important tasks.
"yes!"
Han Qu heard Han Buli's response, and he ducked out of the room.
He stood on the top of the main peak, looking at the clouds stacking up in the distance, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Since Han Buli entered the family, there have been nearly a hundred monks from the Han family in Qinglei Zhai.
Although it cannot be said that everyone is gifted, there are generally seven or eight talents.
With these people as the branches of the Han family in Qingleizhai, they will definitely bear lush fruits in their lifetime.
Once they get up, it will be much easier for him to cut off the hands of the family monks that have reached into the sect.
A family like the Ye family that has always followed him could have been kicked away earlier.
After Han Buli returned to his residence, he found Ye Xiaowen standing at the door of his house carrying some things.
Seeing Han Buli coming back, Ye Xiaowen said with a smile: "You are back."
"Yes." Han Buli nodded and invited Ye Xiaowen into the house.
Ye Xiaowen's value was useless after Han Buli successfully gained Han Qu's attention.
I just regard this relationship as a temporary link between the Han family and the Ye family.
After he excavated the large mine of spiritual stones, he has arranged so many industries.
Seeing that Han Qu started to take her seriously, the Ye family relaxed their control over Ye Xiaowen and even urged her to have more contact with Han Buli.
But during the years when Han Buli was lurking, Ye Xiaowen basically never showed up.
Don't say that Han Buli never liked Ye Xiaowen from the beginning. Even a person who has a good impression of Ye Xiaowen will feel cold when seeing her behave like this.
If you don't show up when I'm suffering, but when I get rich, you're always around me, who do you think you are?
Faced with Ye Xiaowen's overtures in recent years, Han Buli neither refused nor accepted, and always maintained the status of being more than a friend and not yet a lover.
Han Buli knew that sooner or later, the Han family and the Ye family would have a violent conflict.
Ye Xiaowen followed Han Buli into the house.
She skillfully tied up her hair, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen to cook for Han Buli.
It didn’t take long for several plates of dishes with delicious colors and aromas to be freshly cooked.
She brought the dishes to the table, wiped her hands on her apron, and shouted to the back room: "It's time to eat!"
In the back room, Han Buli, who was communicating with the Zerg people, immediately cut off contact with them.
The Zerg people he contacted were now basically the heads of some small sects.
Because Qinglei Zhai had such small sects taking refuge in it from time to time, Han Buli was able to slowly bring Qinglei Zhai out of the pit of tarnished reputation under the eyes of everyone.
It is precisely because Han Buli can help Qinglei Zhai clean up its bad reputation, and by the way, he will hand over the spirit stones he earned to the sect, so that their families can get a piece of the pie, they just sit back and watch the Han family grow bigger. of.
If the Han family simply becomes stronger, then it will inevitably lose a piece of Qingleizhai's original share.
The cake within Qinglei Zhai has actually been divided up long ago. Now that their income has dropped sharply, they can't even share it themselves. How can they give the Han family an advantage?
Is it just because there is a boss behind you?
I don’t dare to act openly, but I’m sure I will continue to make small moves in private.
Each family will have a tacit understanding to protect each other.
And now the Han family is constantly opening up new businesses.
These businesses will not only benefit the Han family, but also the entire sect.
The Han family has changed from a resource sharer to a resource allocator.
This makes these families dare not act rashly.
If he is caught doing something, he may become a stepping stone for other families to claim credit in front of the Han family.
But this doesn't mean they will settle down.
All kinds of mild methods to interfere with the Han family's business are coming.
Han Buli came to the dining table, looked at the dishes on the table, inhaled the aroma, and said:
"Wow, so much delicious food, thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Ye Xiaowen smiled.
Although she said that, she actually didn't want Han Buli to be so polite to her.
Being too polite creates distance between the two.
A truly intimate person will definitely be full of all kinds of shit when two people are alone.
Only by completely letting go of the airs and the so-called face can the two of them be intimate.
But their closeness seemed to have been lost on his own initiative after being stopped by his father.
Can we go back to the past now?
Ye Xiaowen gave Han Buli a piece of meat.
"Try this. This is the pack animal meat that dad specially asked someone to buy from outside. It is delicious and juicy. It is very rare. You must have never eaten it, right?"
Han Buli smiled and said, "Yes, this is the first time for a person like me to see such high-end ingredients on the dining table."
Han Buli looked at the beast meat with his chopsticks, as if he were looking at a novelty.
Upon hearing Han Buli's answer, Ye Xiaowen immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
When those words came out of her mouth, didn't they sound like they were mocking someone for not seeing the world?
What the hell happened to me?
Why do you, who used to be so smart in the past, often do stupid things and say stupid things now?
She inserted her chopsticks into the rice angrily.
Seeing Ye Xiaowen's scene, Han Buli asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing."
She found that Han Buli didn't seem to be angry because of her stupid words, and she didn't want to point it out directly.
"Try this again. These are the vegetables I specially selected for you. They are crisp and refreshing."
"OK."
The two of them continued to eat slowly.
As they ate, Ye Xiaowen was always looking for a topic, while Han Buli responded.
If a topic ends and Ye Xiaowen stops looking for new topics, then the dinner table will fall into silence.
And how many things can Ye Xiaowen talk about?
For so long, she had basically emptied everything in her stomach at the dinner table.
Today, they didn't chat for a few words during the meal before falling into silence again.
Seeing that the two of them had nothing to talk about again, Han Buli just buried his head in eating and had no intention of taking the initiative to talk.
So Ye Xiaowen bit her chopsticks and asked, "Do you hate me?"
"Huh?" Han Buli seemed to have heard this kind of question for the first time, so he asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I feel like you don't want to talk to me."
"Haha." Han Buli smiled and continued: "There is no such thing."
He gave Ye Xiaowen a piece of meat and put it in a bowl.
"You are so beautiful, and your cooking is delicious. No one would hate you, right?"
Listening to Han Buli's gentle words, Ye Xiaowen felt the same.
Regardless of her beauty, cultivation, or family background, she is a top-notch existence in Qingleizhai. How many people would hate me?
It's just a pity that Han Buli is not a human at all!
After Ye Xiaowen took a bite of the beast of burden, her eyes widened in surprise and she said:
"This meat is really delicious! I never get tired of it every time I eat it!"
Ye Xiaowen said and took another piece for Han Buli.
"Yes." Han Buli responded, picked up the two pieces of beast meat, put them into his mouth and chewed them carefully.
"It's delicious, right?"
"Yes, it's delicious."
"whee."
After receiving Han Buli's affirmative reply, Ye Xiaowen immediately became happy.
But the next moment, she remembered her father's instructions.
His father asked him to establish a relationship with Han Buli as soon as possible so that the family could have the opportunity to intervene in the Han family's business.
The Ye family has a big business and its expenses are not low.
Now the entire sect's overall income has dropped sharply.
The daily food and drink of the direct descendants of the Ye family has been reduced from the standard of ten dishes and one soup per person to three dishes and one soup.
This kind of hard life makes everyone in the Ye family extremely dissatisfied.
But as long as he can get involved in the Han family's business, life can return to its original state immediately.
So Ye Xiaowen asked: "What do you think of me?"
Han Buli looked up at her and replied, "You are a good girl."
Ye Xiaowen looked straight at Han Buli: "What else?"
"What else?" Han Buli asked knowingly.
Ye Xiaowen was a little anxious: "Since this time, I have been coming to you every day and cooking for you every day. Don't you still understand what I mean?"
Han Buli paused and said, "I know."
Ye Xiaowen stood up with her hands on the table, looked at Han Buli and asked:
"So, what is our relationship now?"
Han Buli didn't answer, but just gave her some more food.
