65: Big business

After Luo Fei received the rules and regulations written by Zhang Qingxiao, he only glanced at them before revering Zhang Qingxiao as a celestial being.

The content on it not only took care of the old timers who had been with him for a long time, but also gave newly joined Cultivators a sense of belonging.

At the same time, it prevented the emergence of various troubles.

The entire Xiaoyao Sect's rules were simply miles apart compared to this.

As long as one could fully follow the content of the rules and regulations, it would be difficult for this endeavor not to develop.

After reading it, he immediately had his subordinates print hundreds of copies of the system using special Magical Artifacts and distribute them to each subordinate.

He made sure everyone firmly remembered every rule and regulation on it.

If they performed well, they would be rewarded according to the reward scheme, and if they performed poorly, they would naturally be punished according to the system.

If anyone dared to betray or act disloyally, their fate would be utterly miserable.

This was originally a world of immortals and demons where the strong preyed on the weak, and killing and arson were normal occurrences.

With such excellent welfare benefits, the Cultivators under him naturally had no objections to the punitive measures in the system.

For a while, Luo Fei became even busier.

It wasn't until the thirty newly recruited subordinates passed various tests and could start working independently that he felt a little relieved.

As time went on, more and more Cultivators cooperated, and the Spirit Stones earned daily increased accordingly.

Seeing two to three dozen Mid-Grade Spirit Stones coming in every day, Luo Fei not only didn't feel the excitement of wealth growth, but instead felt more worry and tension.

Wealth moves hearts.

The amount of Spirit Stones currently earned, although not enough to attract the attention of those Families with Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

However, when more Cultivators cooperate in the future, and they can earn hundreds of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every day, it will definitely attract the attention of these Families with Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

To avoid this situation, Luo Fei immediately had his subordinate Cultivators slow down the increase in cooperating Cultivators.

Furthermore, he reduced the number of Medicinal Pills, Talismans, and Magical Artifacts sold at fixed stalls.

Then, he had other subordinates rent temporary stalls and take turns selling various items.

He hoped that this would minimize attracting the attention of those Families with Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

His approach was fine, but the amount of Spirit Stones earned continued to increase.

When the number of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones earned daily exceeded fifty, he could no longer control his worries and came to Zhang Qingxiao's house.

“Luo Fei, has any Foundation Establishment Cultivator noticed our business yet?”

Zhang Qingxiao had been living a comfortable life during this period, with an income of several hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones each month, and his Cultivation progress also surged.

In just over three months, his Realm Cultivation progress had reached 75/100.

Because they didn't lack Spirit Stones, they now ate medicinal cuisine that could reduce Medicinal Pill resistance every three days.

So far, the Cultivation progress still maintained a one-point increase every two days.

At this rate, in at most two more months, he would be able to Breakthrough to Cultivation Level 8, moving closer to Foundation Establishment.

Everything was developing in the best direction, so he naturally didn't want any unexpected changes to occur at this time.

“For now, no Foundation Establishment Cultivator should have noticed our business.”

Luo Fei shook his head.

“But, Brother Zhang, our business is getting better and better, and we're earning more and more Spirit Stones, I'm worried…”

Although he didn't say the rest, Zhang Qingxiao understood his meaning.

This worry was indeed very necessary; earning fifty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every day was no small sum.

“Luo Fei, do the Cultivators under you know how many Spirit Stones we earn every day?”

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Qingxiao finally asked.

“Except for a few of my most trusted subordinates who can probably guess some, the other subordinates should not be able to guess our daily income.”

Luo Fei couldn't be entirely sure about this either.

“Are you sure these few subordinates who know the situation are completely loyal to us?”

Zhang Qingxiao's tone also became extremely serious.

He already had a plan in mind, but he had to ensure that the few subordinates Luo Fei mentioned were completely trustworthy.

“Brother Zhang, I can guarantee this point. These few people will never be disloyal to me and Brother Zhang.”

“These few people are the brothers who fought with me from the very beginning, and they also know how formidable Brother Zhang is.”

“Even if they dared to betray me, they wouldn't dare to betray Brother Zhang.”

Luo Fei couldn't guarantee others, but he had great confidence in these few Cultivators.

“Good, bring them all tomorrow. There are some things I need to personally explain to them.”

“Today, I will think more about my plan.”

Zhang Qingxiao still decided it would be better to call these few people over and talk to them personally.

He hadn't shown his face for a long time. Although the things he had done before would make these people fear him, after such a long time, the effect had faded a lot.

It was a good opportunity to take advantage of this to properly deter these Cultivators again.

After Luo Fei left Zhang Qingxiao's house, he immediately called his most trusted Cultivators and told them that he would take them to Zhang Qingxiao's house tomorrow morning.

Although these Cultivators didn't yet know why they were going to see Zhang Qingxiao, they all felt it was a good thing.

After sending Luo Fei away, Zhang Qingxiao immediately went to the market and bought ten second-tier attack Talismans and five second-tier Defense Talismans.

Then he left the Outer Sect Disciple area and walked towards the wilderness behind the Sect mountain.

To deter the Cultivators under him, he had to show sufficient strength.

Now, he couldn't just kill a Lianqi 9th Layer Cultivator for no reason to deter them.

After much thought, he decided to go to the back mountain to see if he could kill a second-tier Yao Beast.

Compared to killing a Lianqi 9th Layer Cultivator, killing a second-tier Yao Beast would be more deterrent to everyone.

This was also why he went to the market to buy second-tier attack Talismans and second-tier Defense Talismans.

After using a Light Body Talisman, Zhang Qingxiao's speed immediately increased significantly.

In less than half an hour, he had already entered the wilderness thirty to forty li from the back mountain.

He had killed a first-tier Late Stage Yao Beast along the way, which delayed him a bit.

Otherwise, at his current speed, running thirty to forty li would take at most two quarters of an hour.

Deep in the wilderness, thirty to forty li in, Zhang Qingxiao also became vigilant.

During this time, although he didn't come out to hunt a Yao Beast every now and then like before, he had been here seven or eight times.

One time, he encountered a second-tier Early Stage Yao Beast nearby.

At that time, he hadn't thought about killing a second-tier Yao Beast, and after discovering this second-tier Yao Beast, he immediately left the area on his sword.

“Could it be that this second-tier Early Stage Yao Beast has already been killed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?”

When he arrived at the place where he had last encountered the second-tier Yao Beast, Zhang Qingxiao searched around but couldn't find any trace of it, and he couldn't help but mutter softly.
