Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

"This Panlong Valley itself is the most valuable thing." Officer Shi laughed.

Li Qu and the other man frowned and thought deeply, not understanding what the other party meant.

Seeing this, the officer surnamed Shi continued, "This Panlong Valley is quite famous in the area. Many cultivators are eager to give us spirit stones. Since Taoist Panlong is dead, we should continue to run the business. With spirit stones, we can buy anything. By then, let alone one thousand independent cultivators, even ten thousand independent cultivators will not be a problem."

Li Chongdao's brows relaxed, but he still asked: "But this Panlong Valley is originally a gray area, is it suitable for us to operate it?"

"Senior Brother! You are too uninformed. Is there really a gray area within the territory of Jin State? This Panlong Valley has always been covered by the Zixu lineage, and the higher-ups just turned a blind eye." said the officer named Shi.

Li Chongdao narrowed his eyes and said, "Is that so? If his Zixu lineage can protect him, then my Qingshen lineage can also protect him."

"That's the attitude we want, Senior Brother. Let's do this and that..."

The officer surnamed Shi explained in detail that he wanted to use the power of Tiandi Bank to confiscate Panlong Valley directly, and then Li Chongdao would ask the ancestors of the Shen lineage to intervene and put it under the control of Wuwei Camp.

Of course, this is only an internal strategy. To the outside world, a different explanation is needed. After all, if the requirements of Tiandi Bank are not met, they will be in big trouble.

However, this seemed to be a piece of cake for Officer Shi. He led the two back to the warship and immediately called an official to give him instructions:

"We need to write an article that can be widely circulated to publicize the debt collection in Panlong Valley. First of all, it must serve as a warning, so that people dare not borrow spirit stones from Tiandi Bank, but also dare not fail to repay the money on time."

The official was the latest top scholar in the State of Jin. He was about thirty years old and was only at the fourth level of Qi training.

He listened attentively, but in his heart he kept complaining: "The composition topic requires both, and it is not easy."

Officer Shi finished the first point and pointed at Qu Jiangtian. "The second one is about the heroic deeds of our young hero from Ziyang Sect. The story is about him devoting himself to the army for his country, lurking in Panlong Valley without fear of danger, saving other cultivators and fighting Panlong Taoist who is two realms higher than him."

"There are more private goods than real goods..." Wen Zhuangyuan couldn't help but frown.

"And this is the last part! To commemorate the hundreds of monks who died, a monument will be erected, and this place will be built into a memorial site that integrates eating, drinking, and entertainment. Remember, this must be written vividly so that people will want to come here to pay tribute and touch a few hands after reading it."

"Idiot, love whoever you want, I can't write it!" When the top scholar heard this, his face was as bitter as if he had eaten a bitter gourd, but he took a deep breath and immediately said:

"Master Shi, the day after tomorrow... no, tomorrow at the earliest, I will give you a draft."

"It's no wonder that he's the top scholar. Efficiency is everything. If this thing is done, you will definitely benefit from it."

Wen Zhuangyuan's face lit up with joy. He naturally knew what this event represented. If he could become famous in one battle, his official career in Jin State would be smooth sailing.

That day and night, he worked hard with candlelight, and before dawn he finished writing a magnificent "Panlong Fu".

After reading it, Shi, Li, Qu and the other two were very satisfied with "Panlong Fu" and applauded repeatedly.

The three of them had clear division of labor. Li Qu and the other two rushed back to Zi Yang Sect to instigate the invitation of the ancestor of the divine lineage, while the officer surnamed Shi followed the procedure and distributed the article to various states and counties.

The official process was cumbersome, but since it involved Tiandi Bank, the process was very swift after layers of approval. By the next morning, "Panlong Fu" had been posted in various markets in Jin State.

In Jinzhu Town, in the Shengxian Tower, there were countless monks coming and going. In front of the notice of "Panlong Fu", three or five monks discussed:

"Wow! These three people are so bold that they dare not return the spiritual stones they borrowed from Tiandi Bank."

"Everyone is doomed to die, but the spiritual stones owed to the Heaven and Earth Bank must be repaid!"

"I heard that Shen Chenqing is a peerless beauty, and she and I are mining underground... Hehe!"

The obscene sound caused a burst of laughter and also attracted the attention of a woman.

The woman had delicate makeup, but wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were hard to hide. It was Nie Hongniang, who had met Shen Chenqing once three years ago.

When she heard the three words "Shen Chenqing", she leaned forward and thought to herself, "What a coincidence? He has been gone for three years!"

She pricked up her ears and the more she listened the more suspicious she felt. She took out the jade pendant from her waist and cast a spell.

After a moment, the sound book jade emitted a very weak green light.

Nie Hongniang was startled and quickly picked up her skirt and ran out of Shengxian Tower like the wind.

After a while, on the top floor of the small white building.

Nie Hongniang was panting and sat down on the dressing table. She took out a spirit stone and put it into the parrot's open mouth.

After a moment, ripples appeared on the mirror, and a blurry face appeared. It said in a sweet voice, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Report to the deacon, the exquisite Taoist body from three years ago has appeared again."

The mirror surface trembled violently, and an excited voice came out: "Really? Where is she? I'll send someone over right away."

"I used the jade pendant to sense her just now and I know her general direction, but she is in some trouble!"

"Trouble is not a problem. The Saint Girl disappeared in the sea of ​​fog, and the Sect Master is wondering how to explain it to the Ancestor!"

Nie Hongniang's breathing became rapid as she said, "She owed the Tiandi Bank spiritual stones and she may have found them this time because the Tiandi Bank was collecting the debt."

The person in the mirror was obviously stunned for a moment, and said, "How did I offend Tiandi Bank..."

Nie Hongniang explained hurriedly: "She should be from a secluded sect. I didn't know anything from her previous contact with her. She has the best water spirit roots, but she actually practiced fire-attributed skills. You said this kind of thing..."

Nie Hongniang talked for a long time and suddenly found that she was the only one left in the mirror. She didn't know when her face disappeared.

"What does this mean, Steward?" Nie Hongniang was puzzled. Just as she was hesitating whether to feed another spirit stone, the mirror suddenly moved and a human face appeared, saying:

"I have already asked the sect leader for instructions. Trouble is not a problem. Get ready immediately. Someone will be here soon."

Nie Hongniang was overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "Um, I wonder if the foundation-building pill I promised you before..."

"Those are all minor matters. If the Sect Master is happy, it is not impossible to find an elder to help you achieve the foundation building. Let's get the important things done first."

Nie Hongniang only had low-grade spiritual roots and was not young anymore, so even if she got the foundation-building pill, her chances of successfully building a foundation were slim.

When she heard that someone could help her build her foundation, she was filled with joy and was so excited that she almost cried.

Her face flushed, and she said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Deacon, I will definitely not let her run away this time. Even if I break my mouth, I will persuade her to join our Goddess Sect."

"It's best if you're willing. If that's not possible... I have no choice but to take you to Qingxiao Mountain first."
