Looking at the Renhuang Pavilion 'troop ships' that were about to disappear into the horizon, Wu Huan was thinking about a very serious question in his heart.
[How many people are there in the Ten Fierce Palaces for him to torment? 】
"metropolitan."
The great elder stood beside him with his hands folded and said with a smile: "The Ten Fierce Palace has underestimated you after all. It only sent these subordinates, not even an elder."
"The Ten Fierce Palace actually does not have a deep foundation. If it is regarded as a sect, it is just a newly emerging sect force."
Wu Wan stretched and said with a smile: "Let's go back. This time it will delay the great elder's practice again."
The First Elder said warmly: "The safety of the sect master is the first priority of this sect. Not to mention that I have not retreated to enlightenment. Even at the moment of enlightenment, protecting the sect master is the most important thing."
"Thank you, Great Elder."
"You're welcome."
Dongfang Mumu on the side tilted his head slightly, wondering why these two guys were so polite when they were so familiar with each other.
A group of them came here in a crowded shuttle, but they were not in a hurry when they returned, setting up a white cloud, chatting and joking, drinking and sipping tea, as if they were going out for a spring outing.
Mao Aowu followed the large ships back to the main pavilion of Renhuang Pavilion.
Renhuang Pavilion sent dozens of masters and hundreds of immortal soldiers to escort the evildoers in the Ten Ominous Halls, so there was no need to worry about their safety.
On the way back, Wu Wang talked with the elder about opening a new magic weapon shop.
The Great Elder had also done some homework before and recommended more than a dozen sect-destroying immortals whose cultivation had stagnated but who were "knowledgeable" to be the first batch of shopkeepers to open a new magic weapon shop.
Elder Wang had been managing the magic weapon shop in Fuyu City for several years, working diligently and without any omissions. Together with Jia Ziheng, he was promoted by Wu Wan to the deputy head of the Luobao Hall.
As they chatted, the Great Elder opened a small barrier around him to ensure that his conversation with Wu Wan would not be overheard by outsiders.
"Sect Master, I'll give you this."
The great elder handed over a storage bracelet. Wu Huan was startled at first. After taking the bracelet, he immediately understood that the great elder had secretly intercepted the storage magic weapons of today's ten evil men.
Wu Wan wanted the blood of the ferocious beast, and the Great Elder always remembered it.
"Thank you, Great Elder."
Wu Wan whispered, feeling warm in his heart.
Although I only want to make evil gods now, I shouldn't let go of these scattered divine powers.
The great elder smiled, took out an abacus, fiddled with it for a while, and then said:
"Sect Master, I have done some calculations and found out that if we just rely on opening more branches, it would be a bit unrealistic to set up the 'Weapon Refining Master Alliance' mentioned by the Sect Master in a short time.
Taking 300 magic weapon shops as an example, it will take us at least two hundred years to operate and stabilize them.
But as you said before, we only have a hundred or even decades to prepare..."
"The Great Elder is interested."
Wu Wan praised warmly and said:
“I didn’t explain clearly that day, but Elder Jia took the words away.
We don’t have to have 300 stores, dozens are enough. We need to ensure that we are famous in a human area, such as the southeast, east or the most prosperous central area.
Then we can ask Renhuang Pavilion to come forward to support the platform, formulate a set of standards and fixed operating methods, first establish a magic weapon business alliance, and invite other magic weapon shops to join.
Behind the magic weapon shop are actually various sects, and it is also important to have a good relationship with them.
In this way, you can increase your influence in the shortest possible time.
After that, the weapon refining competition will be held, with generous rewards and a few more masters from the human domain and the extraordinary realm to control the situation. This competition will be held every ten years, no, three years, and the slogan will be 'Looking for unique treasures'. '.
After three or four rounds, our standards will be promoted, our influence will be established, and enough weapon refining masters have been recruited, the weapon refining master alliance will be a matter of course. "
The great elder thought carefully, slowly savored Wu Wan's words, and soon handed them over.
"Sect Master, I admire you very much.
In this way, the strategy proposed by Elder Jia is narrow-minded after all. "
"Elder Jia's starting point is to earn spiritual stones, and our starting point is to protect the human realm. They are naturally different."
Wu smiled and said: "That is, most of the profits from the sect industry will be invested in these things...but everyone's treatment will definitely be better than now."
"That's enough, that's enough."
The Great Elder waved his hands repeatedly and sighed: "The cultivation resources are enough. If they have too many spiritual stones, their efforts will be wasted."
"What the Great Elder said is that the salary should be raised but not reduced."
Wu Huan thought for a moment and then said, "I can give you some more elixirs and spiritual herbs to help them practice."
The great elder nodded with a smile and discussed the sect's reward system with Wu Wan.
The Great Elder has certainly not forgotten the eight strategies given by Wu Wang at the beginning, and has been guiding the Mie Sect in the direction pointed out by the eight strategies to make it bigger and stronger.
In the corner of this white cloud, Dongfang Mumu sat there in a daze, hugging his knees.
Wu Wan ignored her and Lin Suqing was not by his side. Mu Daxian also felt a little lonely, but he just hugged himself tightly and said nothing.
…
Baiyun fell back to the Mie Sect, and all the masters returned to their respective places.
Wu Juan took Dongfang Mumu back to Elder Miao's small building. The latter went to the second floor in a flash without even saying hello to Wu Juan.
'What's wrong with this Great Immortal Mu...'
Wu laughed wildly and continued to think about the Ten Fierce Palaces.
'Could it be that the actions of the Ten Fierce Palace this time are also in line with Tiangong's strategy of 'showing weakness to the enemy'? '
After some calculations, Wu Huan couldn't figure out why. He went back to the quiet room to meditate and practice, and experienced the changing principles of the stars.
In this way, a few days later, Mao Aowu rushed back to Mie Zong to resume his duties and told the results of the group's treatment.
What made Renhuang Pavilion quite embarrassed was that Shi Lianying and other eight spies who were under strict guard died tragically in the dungeon before they could be interrogated.
"The cause of death was poisoning. A thin silver needle was inserted into each body."
Mao Aowu said:
"The poison on the silver needle has also been found out. It is refined from the venomous sting of some thousand-year-old ferocious beast. It is very rare.
It was a pity that on the way back, I couldn't ask them anything. "
"What's a pity?"
Wu said with a smile: "At least the eight of them don't need to be dealt with by Renhuang Pavilion, let alone being exposed that there are spies from the Ten Fierce Palace hidden in the main hall of Renhuang Pavilion."
Mao Aowu nodded slowly and whispered: "The pavilion has begun a self-examination, and the pavilion master was furious when he heard about it."
Wu Wan pondered for a moment, but it was difficult to comment on this.
He asked again: "What happened to Taoist Wancai?"
"I still want to die."
Mao Aowu said: "He has spoken in various places about the atrocities committed by the Ten Fierce Gods against human races outside the territory as requested by the Renhuang Pavilion. Now I am waiting for you, the sect leader, to show up and give him a good time."
Wu Wang shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "There is always something cute about such a stubborn person."
Mao Aowu stood aside in silence for a while, then smiled and said: "Sect Master, when I came back, Pavilion Master Liu pulled me and asked - when will you report? He is already ready."
"Three...five months later."
"Is that three months or five months?" Mao Aowu asked, "The Pavilion Master asked me to send back a definite message."
"Five months."
Wu Wang waved his hand and said: "Okay, I still want to practice. Brother Mao, go ahead and help me if you ask from Renhuang Pavilion. Since I promised that person, I will not break my promise."
"Yes, I understand."
Mao Aowu bowed his head and resigned, thinking about the words of the jade talisman, and left the small building here.
Wu Wan then took out a few drops of the ferocious spirit blood obtained from the new Son of God's stored magic weapon, let them float around him, and began to slowly absorb the divine power within them.
He actually wanted to go to Renhuang Pavilion as soon as possible, after all, the power of the fierce god Long Nephew was still waiting for him to use.
But Wu Juan was also a little worried.
His current level of star god bloodline power is not very high. If he absorbs even a little bit of the evil god's original power, he will not be able to bear it. Wouldn't he be laughed at by the seniors for nothing?
It’s better to be more pragmatic and lay a solid foundation.
For a moment, fairy light filled the boundary of the small building, and wisps of spiritual energy swirled around it. From time to time, there were sounds of roaring beasts and crows of birds.
Wu Wan's clothes quickly turned into powder.
Fortunately, the immortal light around him was too strong and was covered by the outer formation, so the golden scales emerging from his body were not exposed.
This vision lasted for two months. The golden scales around Wu Wan's body disappeared, and the few drops of the fierce spirit's blood turned into dust and drifted away.
He stood up from the futon, and the energy and blood in his body surged like waves crashing on the shore.
He clenched his fist slightly, and there seemed to be arcs of electricity shining on his fingertips.
"The power of the Star God's bloodline has not been affected, but has directly grown a lot," Wu Wan murmured to himself, "I don't know if the power of this bloodline has levels. What level am I at now."
Continue to practice Taoism, Taoism is the foundation.
No matter how powerful it is, if its lifespan is too short, it is of no use.
Although Senior Shennong asked him to focus on rapidly improving his combat power, how could the senior, who has lived for countless years, understand the pain of the powerful Beiye!
So Wu Wan meditated for more than a month.
After his body adapted to the new strength, he took out a wine jar containing the fierce god's blood and began to absorb the divine power within it.
Comparing the two, the ferocious spirit and blood are still powerful!
Therefore, Wu Wang looked forward to the corpse of the fierce god even more.
Five months is actually not that long. For Wu Huan at this time, it is no more than the time it takes to meditate several times.
——The longevity will be greatly increased, and the perception of the passage of time will be slower.
During this period, Lin Qi, Lao Auntie, and Ji Mo came out of confinement one after another.
Su Qing entered the middle stage of spiritual silence with great force, and her cultivation progressed very quickly. It was said that she would be able to become an immortal before she was a hundred years old.
Lin Qi stepped half into the immortal realm.
At this time, he was a fellow practitioner of the sword and fire ways. He was similar to Wu Wan. He also focused on the way of sword control and the way of fire as a supplement. He did not put all his hope in the Yan Emperor's Order.
After Lin Qi came to greet Wu Wan, he began to retreat to prepare for becoming an immortal, and expected to reach the Yuanxian Realm within half a year.
After Su Qing came out of seclusion, she stayed by Wu Wan's side, doing housework every day.
Wu Wan asked her to stay in seclusion for a little longer to consolidate her realm, but she only agreed a few times and continued to circle around Wu Wan.
After Zhi Mo came out of seclusion, he immediately came to say goodbye to Wu Wan.
When this guy saw Wu Wang, he just said: "Brother Wu Wang! I have decided to start a family!"
The honey tea Wu Wang just drank sprayed directly on Lin Suqing's long skirt, where she coughed for a while.
"what happened?"
Wu Wan glared at Ji Mo and cursed: "Is it possible that you have always had a crush on the woman before? Why go to the flower house to hang out? Mr. Ji can do it!"
"Brother Wuwang, don't get me wrong. I didn't have a favorite woman before, and I don't have one now either!"
Zhi Mo moved the wooden chair to Wu Juan and looked at Wu Juan with burning eyes.
Wu Wan ducked back and whispered, "Is it a man?"
"Man? What man?"
Wu smiled and said, "Ah, pretend I didn't say anything and explain clearly what happened."
Zimo said excitedly: "I understand, Brother Wuwang! Your Majesty is right!
I have been ridiculous for so long, and it’s time to calm down. If I want to achieve enlightenment in the flower house, I might as well cultivate together with my wife! "
Wu Wan blinked and asked in a low voice: "Are you going on a blind date?"
"right!"
Zimo smiled and said: "I have already sent a letter to my family, and also told me what kind of woman I want to find. This time I will listen to my parents' orders and the matchmaker's advice. As long as we can get along well with each other."
"This is a lifelong event, don't be too trivial."
"If you don't know how to play tricks, how can you play tricks?"
Zhi Mo said seriously: "Marrying a wife and starting a family is my current goal. I will not make decisions easily. If I meet someone I fall in love with at first sight, I will do my best to please her.
In short, I will take my future partner seriously. As long as she doesn't dislike me for being too dissolute before, I will be quite lucky. "
Wu Wang:......
Is the power of an old-timer’s words really that great?
Wu Wan suddenly felt that he needed to face up to His Majesty the Human Emperor's influence on the human realm.
"You have to think about it carefully. If you get married, you won't want to go to the flower house again."
"Think about it."
Zimo smiled, sighed slightly, and said slowly:
“Actually, last time, when my grandmother was ambushed while chasing those gods, I felt like something was missing in my heart.
What my grandmother looks forward to most is that I can start a family.
I had always thought that I had succeeded in cultivating Taoism, but I could not escape the fate of being a loyal martyr in the adult world, so I just wanted to indulge myself and pursue a night of happiness.
My Ji family has followed His Majesty the Human Emperor and fought hard to this day. We are a loyal family, and every generation of men has died and been injured... No matter what, I should make my grandmother and others feel at ease.
Your Majesty's words awakened me. For me, what else is more important than starting a family? "
"Then you have to treat others well and don't let down the beautiful lady!"
"how come?"
Jimo said loudly: "I, Jimo, am the most compassionate person, and I will not allow my future wife to be wronged in the slightest!"
Wu Wang raised his hand and punched Zimmer on the shoulder, waving his hand:
"Go, go, ask your family to pick you up or ask an elder to take you back, and pay attention to safety on the way."
"They sent people here soon," Zhi Mo said, "I may not be able to return to the Mie Sect for a short time if I go back this time..."
"It's okay, I'm waiting to have dinner at your Ji's house."
"Then I'll try to be faster!"
"Don't wrong yourself, it still depends on fate."
Zhi Mo clenched his fist and touched Wu Wan's fist lightly. The two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.
…
Only two days after Zhi Mo left, Wu Wan also embarked on a journey north.
It was really Pavilion Master Liu who pressed him too hard and asked him to report to Renhuang Pavilion quickly; Mao Aowu almost knelt down in front of Wu Wan and asked the sect master to go to Renhuang Pavilion to show his name as soon as possible.
Is it really just a name?
Wu Wangzi didn't believe this. He seemed to see the mountains of files in front of Pavilion Master Liu...
This time he was still driving lightly, and the only masters guarding him were the Great Elder and Mu Daxian.
Lin Suqing followed suit and took care of the young master's daily life.
Because the vicious incident of [Eight Sinful Immortals died tragically in the dungeon] occurred in the Renhuang Pavilion Headquarters, they were also quite cautious during this trip.
Lin Suqing's storage magic weapon contains ten large tanks of clear spring water, and the water source of Renhuang Pavilion is not used for making tea.
But I never imagined that his lord, the sect leader, would come as promised regardless of past grudges, but what he would receive in return would be cold treatment and rejection!
From the main pavilion of Renhuang Pavilion, Liu Bairen’s roar came from the main hall:
"What? Wu Huanzi asked to see you? No!
tell him! The master of the pavilion was busy soaking his feet and disappeared!
Let him report to Xianfan Palace! The master of this pavilion still rubs his back after soaking his feet, but he is nowhere to be seen! "
Wu Wan just smiled slightly, took a folding fan and shook it slightly in front of him, and under the guidance of the masters of Renhuang Pavilion, he headed towards Xianfan Palace.
The Great Elder frowned and said: "This Pavilion Master must be impatient. Sect Master, please don't worry about it."
Lin Suqing complained dissatisfiedly: "Obviously he called the young master to come over, but he acted on it himself."
"Su Qing be careful," Wu said with a smile, "This is the Renhuang Pavilion. The master of the pavilion is the largest. It is normal to have some official authority."
"Hey," Lin Suqing agreed. Dongfang Mumu's eyes rolled around, wondering what he was thinking.
The word "Xianfan" in Xianfan Palace means "handling Xianfan affairs".
This is also the busiest place in Renhuang Pavilion on weekdays. There are hundreds of tables in the spacious hall, each immortal is immersed in work, and many immortal soldiers are walking back and forth.
The three great elders were waiting outside, and Wu Wang was taken to the corner of the hall; there was a side door with three big characters written on it:
【Entry to the Pavilion】.
Wu Wang was unhurried and looked around everywhere with great interest, swinging the folding fan back and forth in his hand, feeling quite comfortable.
Just as he was about to enter the side door, he saw another young monk being brought here.
This person looks familiar...
Wu Wang frowned slightly, pretending that he didn't see this person, and entered the side door first.
Xue Kailong, a descendant of the Xue family, had some conflicts during the Xuannv Sect's apprenticeship ceremony.
After the young master of the Xue family entered the door, he was stunned when he saw Wu Juan, and then he bowed his hands without saying anything else.
Wu Wang put away the folding fan and held it in his hand as a return gift.
The immortal who led Wu Wan here said warmly: "Old palace master, could you please naturalize these two young people?"
In the corner, the old man wearing a khaki robe raised his head tremblingly, calling Wu Wan and Xue Kailong to sit in front of him.
The old man asked the two of them a few questions and made a simple registration.
"Wu Huanzi, Xue Kailong, do you have a letter of introduction?"
"Yes," Xue Kailong took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and placed it on the tray in front of the old man, "Excuse me, senior."
Wu Wan also took out the scroll given by Senior Shennong and placed it on the other side of the tray.
This Xue Kailong seemed much calmer today.
The old man laid out the letter of introduction but did not open it to read. It should be presented to the senior management of Renhuang Pavilion.
The old man asked again: "What expectations do you two have for your positions after joining the cabinet?"
"I!"
"I think……"
"Fellow Taoist Wuwu, come first," Xue Kailong smiled and made an invitation gesture.
Wu Wangong cupped his hands, said thank you, opened the folding fan, swung it gently in front of him, and said slowly:
"I want a more leisurely position, where I don't have to do too many things, the pay is not bad, I can walk around the pavilion at will, I can get some benefits from any good things I encounter, and I can see the pavilion master whenever I want.
Well, that's enough. "
The old man raised his head and stared at Wu Wan.
The corner of Xue Kailong's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Wu Wan with a bit of laughter.
In Xue Kai's Longling Platform, there was a mass of black energy surrounding his Nascent Soul, transmitting this scene to the vast southwest region that was thousands of miles away.
In a dark cave, a middle-aged man wearing a dark golden robe sat quietly cross-legged.
After hearing Wu Wan's words, the middle-aged man also showed a slight sneer on his lips.
That's it? That's what those losers from the Ten Temples said in their letter, Wu Huanzi, who is extremely difficult to deal with?
So arrogant, so flamboyant, and so arrogant!
Huh, he can easily be compared to the toy he just found.
In Renhuang Pavilion, Xue Kailong said loudly:
"Senior, please give me the hardest and most tiring job. Although my cultivation level is not high, I am still willing to contribute my strength to Renhuang Pavilion."
The old man suddenly showed a gentle smile, asked the two of them to wait, and went to the back of the hall with the tray.
So, after a while.
Xue Kailong stood at the entrance of the hall with dull eyes, looking at the letter of appointment in his hand. The four words "Gatekeeper Immortal Soldier" written on it were so eye-catching.
There was a conversation on the other side, and Xue Kailong couldn't help but turn his head to look.
"Master, what errand have you got?"
"Ah, what is the fifth-level official position of inspector called? Although the rank is not high, it doesn't matter."
Wu Wan handed over the jade token and sighed dejectedly: "It seems that he really wants me to work."
Xue Kailong almost threw the letter of appointment on the ground and stamped his feet.
And a certain fierce god who was watching this scene through his Nascent Soul remained silent for a while in his cold and dark cave.
Finally he uttered a curse word.
