Do not die

When he decided to acquire the intelligence power of Mingxin Pavilion, Meng Zhou was thinking about how he should control this power.

It is impossible for him to spend too much effort on this. He just hopes to have such an "eye", but he does not want to waste too much time and energy on it.

It is necessary to find white gloves.

When he thought of this, the first thought that came to Meng Zhou's mind was to borrow a manpower from the Jade Blood Army, or even simply transplant Mingxin Pavilion into the Jade Blood Army.

Faced with such a great gift, the Blue Blood Army would never refuse it.

And he and the Jade Blood Army have also established a rather solid trust. They will be responsible for this, and they only need to provide themselves with various information on a regular basis - no matter how you look at it, for both parties, this is a Excellent choice.

But soon, Meng Zhou rejected this idea.

He didn't want this power to have anything to do with himself or the people closely related to him.

After thinking about it, Meng Zhou suddenly felt something in his heart and took aim at the "Changle Chamber of Commerce" that had been a cover for Mingxin Pavilion for a long time.

Although this Changle Chamber of Commerce is just a cover, it is also a cover that is seriously run by Mingxin Pavilion.

From the scale of power, power management, profit direction, etc., everything is real and there is nothing false.

In this era where miracles can happen anytime and anywhere, even if the Changle Chamber of Commerce has developed its power in a short period of time, it doesn't have to worry about attracting too much attention, which can also save him a lot of worry.

Moreover, although the Changle Chamber of Commerce is just a cover, its status in Sanchuan Plain is firmly in the middle and upper levels, but it is slightly weaker than those forces with real elixir and fake elixir monks.

This means that the Changle Chamber of Commerce itself has mature operational experience and can transplant the "brain" and Mingxin Pavilion, which has completely hollowed out its core components, in a short period of time, allowing the two forces to be integrated.

As for the issue of trust, there is nothing to worry about.

At this moment, five senior executives of the Changle Chamber of Commerce stepped into the hall and talked with Bing Xinxuelian's clone.

Meng Zhou, who was hiding aside, was looking at these five people.

These five people all have foundation-building cultivation.

Among them, the two in the late stage of foundation building are both at the seventh level of foundation building.

The other three are all in the middle stage of foundation building, two of them have built a six-level foundation, and one has built a five-level foundation.

These five people are the core executives ranked fifth to ninth in the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

As for the four ranked first to fourth, they are of course Song Yang, the former master of Mingxin Pavilion, and the three dead fake alchemy monks.

The purpose of doing this is to facilitate any one of the four of them to mobilize the power of the Changle Chamber of Commerce for their own use when needed.

And the reason why in addition to their four real cores, five more innocent monks who have nothing to do with Mingxin Pavilion were found to take the fifth to ninth positions.

This is because none of them have the time to actually run the Changle Chamber of Commerce, but the guise of the Changle Chamber of Commerce needs to be run normally.

So, these five people joined.

The daily affairs of the Changle Chamber of Commerce are supported by these five people.

The reason why there are five people is, of course, because they don't want such great power to fall into the hands of one or two people and have them "discuss" everything.

In this way, even if they have been hand-off shopkeepers for a long time, they will not worry about losing their ability to control the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

This kind of confidence is of course confidence in the strength of Mingxin Pavilion.

From the perspective of Mingxin Pavilion, everything in the Changle Chamber of Commerce is completely transparent, and there is no secret at all.

Another thing is that these five "brothers" who were roped in were all carefully selected.

Although they all have their own selfish motives and shortcomings, in the eyes of Song Yang and others who know everything about them, they are a more trustworthy bonus.

Those who have talent for business have poor talent for cultivation, and their cultivation level is even lower;

Those with a higher level of practice may be more obsessed with personal practice, or may have other shortcomings.

It is difficult for any one of these five "carefully selected" talents to be unique.

But when they work together and discuss everything together, the atmosphere of the Changle Chamber of Commerce is quite harmonious in the eyes of other forces.

Everyone is willing to actively show their own strengths, and at the same time actively adopt the strengths of others, and then try to hide their shortcomings "quietly" in a place that only they know.

There is a special state of vitality and all things competing.

For this reason, they don't have much dissatisfaction with the previous brothers who have been the hands-off shopkeepers all year round.

Not only was he the original founder of this chamber of commerce, but his cultivation level was also higher than theirs.

Besides the Changle Chamber of Commerce, they also have other backgrounds, and they have cleverly resolved the difficulties encountered by the Changle Chamber of Commerce several times.

——Song Yang and others did not hide this, but they did not reveal the specific scale of their power or Mingxin Pavilion.

Outsiders don't know, but they themselves know best that the Changle Chamber of Commerce has been able to develop relatively smoothly to this day. Although the help from the four brothers is not much, it is indispensable.

If any of these help were missing, the presence or absence of the Changle Chamber of Commerce would still be in doubt. In less than ten years, it would be what it is today, but it was even more unthinkable.

For these reasons, no one from "Little Five" to "Little Nine" will think that the first four brothers are redundant.

After the five people entered the hall, they respectfully greeted the "eldest brother" dressed as Bing Xin Xue Lian's clone, and then looked at the empty lobby.

The seventh person, let's call him "Xiao Qi", asked curiously: "Have the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother left?"

"Big brother" nodded and said, "Well, they're all gone. I'm going to see those friends off by the way."

After hearing this explanation, the five people nodded in understanding without doubting his presence.

The four elder brothers, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother not only have high cultivation, but also surpass them in overall strength. They also have other businesses outside of the Changle Chamber of Commerce, which they vaguely know.

This is not surprising. There are many forces at the same level as the Changle Chamber of Commerce in the Sanchuan Plain. But if we really want to investigate, there are not many who are related to the fake pills or even the pill-forming forces.

Those who are truly pure in blood and rise from the grassroots are the weird ones.

If one day they find out that behind these four brothers there is an elder who fakes or even forms elixirs, they will not be surprised in any way.

Although the eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother do not interfere much with the affairs of the Changle Chamber of Commerce, they will use the Changle Chamber of Commerce's residence to receive some mysterious friends and talk about some secretive things.

They also knew this very well, and they even guessed that for the four brothers, this was the real purpose of the existence of the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

As time passed, they all naturally understood this, but none of them had the desire to find out. Instead, they actively restrained other members of the Chamber of Commerce to free up space at this time and not to wander around at will.

Their knowledge and understanding are of course not due to luck, but because Song Yang and others know them well.

If they didn't have such knowledge and understanding, it would be impossible for them to get such an opportunity.

This can be considered a two-way achievement.

The efforts that Song Yang and others spent on Changle Chamber of Commerce have now come to an end for Meng Zhou.

Relying on Song Yang and others' memories of the Changle Chamber of Commerce, Meng Zhou knew all these five young brothers from the inside out and completed the "handover" easily.

Considering that what was discussed next was too important, Meng Zhou was worried that there was something wrong with the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone, so he took over the control of the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone from one side.

After introducing the five people into the hall and letting the five "younger brothers" take their seats, he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "You should know that your second brother, third brother, and fourth brother each have a force behind me."

When the five "younger brothers" heard this, they all trembled slightly and looked up at their "eldest brother".

They have known this for a long time, but this is the first time they have made it clear like this.

At this moment, when "Big Brother" suddenly revealed his cards, the five people had different moods and looked at each other, but they could not reach a consensus.

Some people are anxious and worried, fearing that they will be involved in a higher-level whirlpool;

Some people are eager to give it a try and seem to see greater opportunities;

Some people’s thoughts cannot even be understood by themselves...

Linglian's avatar, the "eldest brother", was silent for a while, allowing everyone to have time to fully digest and think, and then suddenly smiled:

"Now, there is a huge opportunity in front of the Changle Chamber of Commerce!"

Upon hearing this, the five people turned to look at him.

But "Xiao Liu", who is at the seventh level of foundation building and has more talent than "Xiao Wu", has the most "cowardly" temperament among the five.

After seeing the smile of "big brother", I shivered in my heart for no reason.

He hurriedly said: "Brother, I have no other intention, but can you explain this 'opportunity' more clearly?"

"Eldest Brother" nodded and said, "Of course, I have no intention of hiding this from you."

"That's right, your other three brothers and I are..."

According to the version of the story told by Meng Zhou, his "eldest brother", as well as the second, third and fourth brothers who have now left, each have a powerful force behind them.

And the relationship between them is quite complicated.

The four of them are in charge of information collection within their respective forces.

The reason why they formed the Changle Chamber of Commerce together was to facilitate frequent meetings and share some information.

Now, as the situation changes and the relationship between the four companies becomes closer and closer, this model has become too inefficient.

After discussion, the information and intelligence business, which was originally under the control of the Quartet, will be integrated to make it more professional and efficient.

This newly formed force has a rich foundation and the unique environment of Qingxuan Territory. When integrated at this moment, it will definitely become a special force that cannot be underestimated.

Although the relationship between the four families is getting closer and closer, it is inappropriate for this power to be placed in the name of any party.

Hearing this, the five people had already realized something. Some people could not control their shortness of breath and their faces turned red, while others had their hearts beating faster and felt uneasy.

"Big Brother" paused for a while, looking around everyone with interest, as if he was very interested in their reactions at this moment.

Then, "he" slowly said:

"Have you ever thought about why you, who come from all over the country, have a shallow foundation, and whose comprehensive abilities are not particularly outstanding, became a member of the decision-making level of the Changle Chamber of Commerce?"

After hearing this, the five people were startled at first.

Then, the expressions changed and they were all different.

Some people's expressions changed with surprise, suspicion, and fear, and some people's expressions were astonished, with a kind of belated realization.

"Xiaoba", who was already a bit clumsy, completely stuttered at this moment.

"Big...brother, you mean, I...you..."

"Xiao Ba" couldn't speak clearly in person, but "Big Brother" seemed to be able to completely understand what he was going to say. He nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, we have a detailed understanding of your life experience, abilities, preferences, temperament, etc. You must not know how much thought we put into selecting the five of you."

As he spoke, he laughed again, his eyes sweeping over the five "brothers" with a warm and warm smile on his face.

But at this moment, when the five "younger brothers" faced such a kind elder brother, they didn't feel any warmth at all. Instead, they felt chills all over their bodies and chills down their spines.

They finally realized belatedly why the eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother looked at them in a subtly different way, and why they all subconsciously looked shorter in front of these four "brothers".

This is because everything about them is no secret to these four "brothers".

It’s the feeling of being seen from the inside out.

“Now, we plan to gather all of this under the name of the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

From now on, this burden will be shouldered by you, okay? "

After hearing this, some people wanted to agree immediately.

If you see it through, you can see it through. If you have the opportunity to climb this Qingyun Ladder, what's the harm in losing something?

But some people are not so happy to let the Changle Chamber of Commerce take over this matter.

But looking at the "eldest brother" who was looking over with a smile, his lips twitched and he didn't dare to say the word "no".

If you have any different thoughts, you can only keep them in your stomach.

Seeing this, "Big Brother" nodded with satisfaction.

If no one jumps out to object, then it is passed.

"He" stretched out his hand and threw the five jade slips in his hand to the five brothers from "Xiao Wu" to "Xiao Jiu".

"Although these forces will eventually be gathered under the name of Changle Chamber of Commerce, if they are integrated so hastily, some chaos will easily occur.

I have temporarily divided it into five areas, and each of you is now responsible for an area.

After you gradually become familiar with it and it will not hinder its normal development, we can proceed with deeper integration. "

The five people looked at the jade slips that were forcibly "divided" into their hands. Although they still had their own thoughts, no one raised any objections and acquiesced to the "eldest brother's" decision.

The reason why Meng Zhou divided the Mingxin Pavilion organization spread across the Qingxuan Territory into five parts was certainly not the real reason.

The real reason is that although these powers of Mingxin Pavilion have their own disguises on the surface, if they are looked at together and examined carefully, they can also find commonalities and some consistency.

If they were all spread out in front of five people like this, his statement that "originally they belonged to four families" would seem a bit fantasy.

Now, he divided the originally unified Qingxuan Domain into five "areas", and each of the five people was responsible for only one area.

While they are responsible for digesting and absorbing these forces, their own style and habits will also have an impact in turn and be imprinted with their habits.

In this way, it only takes a while, and even if these powers are fully exposed in front of these five people, there will no longer be any problems.

Just as the five people were each holding a jade slip, their expressions were changing, they were all attracted by a mysterious power fluctuation.

Looking over, everyone's expressions became condensed.

A stack of talismans appeared in "Big Brother"'s hand.

But just looking at the spiritual light flowing on the talisman, everyone's pupils were shocked.

"Third-level talisman! It's actually a third-level talisman!" They couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

Linglian's clone distributed ten third-level low-grade talismans in his hand to five people, and each person got two.

These are the treasures of the real Song Yang. As a third-level low-grade talisman maker, Song Yang lacks everything else except talismans.

These things are not of much use to Meng Zhou. Even if they are all sold, with his current wealth, he would not look down on the spiritual stones, so he might as well use them as "rewards" later.

Two third-level low-grade spiritual talismans are equivalent to two shots of a pill-forming monk. For the five "younger brothers", it is not an exaggeration to say that they have gained two more lives.

Everyone who had some different opinions in their hearts immediately changed their faces.

"As long as you work hard, the benefits and future will be yours."

After hearing "Big Brother"'s words, everyone responded with ecstasy in their hearts.

Isn't this an invisible shock?

These items were given to them on demand, even with the attitude of "As long as you dare to make meritorious deeds, I dare to reward you."

Just think about it and you will know how terrifying the forces behind "eldest brother" and several other "brothers" are.

Some clever people were so frightened that they retracted the little thought that just arose in their minds, and no longer dared to have any delusional thoughts.

They also understand very well that this is the real "owner" of the Changle Chamber of Commerce and the business they are taking over now, and the five of them are just the "shopkeepers" on the surface.

If anyone has the idea of ​​occupying the magpie's nest and taking it as his own, then he really thinks that he has lived too long.

After dealing with all this, Meng Zhou and the Linglian clone quietly left the "Changle Village".

Before leaving, Meng Zhou also gave two authorizations to the five people through the mouth of Linglian's clone.

The first is to let them quickly take over these forces and allow them to use these forces as the network tentacles of the Chamber of Commerce scattered throughout the Qingxuan Territory.

Relying on this, not only can these forces that have lost their core layer be stabilized again, but the Changle Chamber of Commerce will also use this to form a network throughout the Qingxuan Territory. This alone will make many people envious.

The second authorization is to allow the Changle Chamber of Commerce to expand based on actual conditions.

This expansion has two meanings. One is the obvious business scope of the Changle Chamber of Commerce; the other is the expansion of the information collection network.

In addition to these two authorizations, there is also a prohibition.

That is to say, they can use these information advantages to develop the Changle Chamber of Commerce, or they can also do some simple tasks related to information and intelligence to achieve a profit and loss balance, but it is strictly forbidden to "see blood", which has two meanings.

On the one hand, they do not accept tasks that are too profitable and would be bloody;

On the other hand, it is strictly forbidden to obtain information through "bloody" methods.

——All the monks originally involved in this task have been uprooted by Meng Zhou.

Now, those who are waiting for them to take over have been carefully "cleaned" by Meng Zhou. If they continue to follow this path in the future, they will only be led astray by these five people.

As a precaution, Meng Zhoucai gave five people a final vaccination before leaving.

Linglian's clone's "big brother" would come over from time to time to "check the work."

If you encounter difficult problems, you can also call "big brother".

Even with these strict constraints, everyone understands that the Changle Chamber of Commerce will take off right in front of them.

After making these arrangements, Meng Zhou left without staying any longer.

The "eldest brother" of Linglian's clone also disappeared without a trace under the gaze of the five people. He had been gone for a long time. The five "younger brothers" couldn't help but feel a little frightened, fearing that the "eldest brother" would suddenly appear in the next moment. .

After leaving Changle Village, the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone returned directly to Song Yang's cave and continued to hibernate as Song Yang.

From now on, Qingxuan Domain Mingxin Pavilion is equivalent to non-existence.

Of course, "Song Yang" can exist as long as it needs it.

Everything depends on whether "Song Yang" needs the skin of "Mingxin Pavilion Master".

And since the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone "Song Yang" replaced the real Song Yang, the time spent outside activities has been significantly reduced.

They have become less and less involved in the affairs of professional associations.

This wouldn't seem so strange.

Because Cao Lie behaved in the same way.

After returning from Qingxuanzong, Cao Lie and Song Yang, who originally had many thoughts about power and status, fell silent.

They all began to become hands-off shopkeepers, following the example of "Ge Ping Ge Pharmacist", living in their own caves, becoming quiet ascetic monks, and interfering less and less with external affairs.

Therefore, there is nothing abrupt or inconsistent with the performance of Linglian's clone "Song Yang".

After Meng Zhou quietly left Changle Village, he did not go straight back to his cave, but took a detour to where the Blue Blood Army was stationed.

Meng Zhou found Yao Gu and called him to a quiet room.

In Yao Gu's somewhat confused eyes, Meng Zhou summoned an empty gourd.

The empty gourd spat out gently, and a lot of things came out of the gourd and piled on the open space between the two people.

Yao Gu was a little confused at first, but after seeing the pile of things on the ground clearly, his eyelids twitched wildly uncontrollably.

Second level top quality robe, second level top quality magic weapon, second level top quality robe, second level top quality magic weapon, storage belt, storage pendant, storage ring...

One piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces...

Too many to count, not even enough to count.

Just kidding, these are what Meng Zhou gained from the seventy-two monks. Among them, there are three fake alchemy monks, and the others are all foundation building materials.

Although Yao Gu didn't know the details, he just looked at such a large number of items. With his experience and vision, he could easily judge that these were most likely trophies stripped from the dead.

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain.

"It's impossible to get so many items without killing dozens or hundreds of foundations!"

Within the Qingxuan Domain, although the status of the Foundation Establishment Monk continues to "depreciate", it is still shocking to lose so much all at once.

If word spread, how much of a sensation would this cause in Qingxuan Territory?

Yao Gu was thinking wildly in his mind when Meng Zhou said: "These things are too messy, so you can handle them quietly for me."

Yao Gu solemnly responded: "Yes."

No need for Meng Zhou's advice, Yao Gu was even more careful than Meng Zhou himself.

Yao Gu even decided that these things would not be sold on the black market or other channels, but would be digested directly within the Blue Blood Army.

Anyway, with the intensity of the Blue Blood Army fighting monsters around the Blue Blood Plains, all robes and magic weapons are consumables. In a few years, these things will be ground into slag due to high consumption.

Meng Zhou glanced at several of the items, which were all obtained from the senior fake elixir.

As for the senior fake pill, in addition to being a core member of Mingxin Pavilion, he also has another identity, that is, a small shareholder of the main palace of Sanchuan Yuan City.

Now Meng Zhou is familiar with all the information about this person. With a little processing, he can get this part of the equity. With the support of "Song Yang" and himself, as well as Chairman Pan, everything will proceed smoothly. It won’t even stir up any waves.

But after just a moment of hesitation, Meng Zhou gave up.
