Dear Lingshi

"Okay, you two wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

At this time, the leader of Moxi Sect, Li Wan, was discussing something with a group of foundation-building monks in a hall of Moxi Sect.

"What? As soon as our sect mentioned hunting monsters, you immediately stuffed all your descendants into the industries in Tieshan City." Li Wan looked at everyone and said slowly.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators lowered their heads and did not dare to look him in the eye.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became eerily quiet. Seeing this, Li Wan gently touched her forehead with one hand and spoke again: "I understand that we cultivators have few offspring, but you can't do this all the time, right? When you encounter a dangerous mission, let other disciples go, and your offspring stay in a safe place. After the mission is completed, you can bring your offspring back to practice in peace. Now the disciples in the sect have complained about this situation. I hope that for the sake of our Moxi Sect, you will not do these biased things again."

After Li Wan finished speaking, the foundation-building cultivators around her still kept their heads down and remained silent.

Looking at these stubborn elders, Li Wan sighed and had to get up and leave.

These elders are actually Li Wan’s fellow disciples.

Ever since her father's lifespan ran out and he passed away, she has been supporting the Moxi Sect alone, but has not received support and understanding from others. She knows that if this continues, the Moxi Sect will be doomed, but she can't bear to attack her fellow disciples. She is really tired at this moment.

Li Wan had just returned to her bedroom and hadn't even sat down when a maid came in and said to her, "Master, the disciples guarding the mountain are here to report that there are two strangers who want to see you."

Li Wan asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"These two people only said that this matter concerns the future prosperity and decline of our Moxi Sect."

Hearing this, Li Wan raised her eyebrows.

"Let them come."

"Yes."

Not long after, Lu Yunsheng and the other were led to a side hall. At this time, Li Wan was sitting in the main seat, drinking spiritual tea calmly.

Li Wan's casual movements seemed lazy, but in fact, she exuded the aura of a Jindan cultivator. This was the first time Lu Yunsheng faced a Jindan cultivator head-on. The invisible aura made Lu Yunsheng feel suffocated, and at this time he had no intention of looking at Li Wan's stunning face.

"Junior Lu Yunsheng and junior Lu Hu pay their respects to the sect master!" Lu Yunsheng and Uncle Hu bowed at the same time.

"You're welcome, Lu Yunsheng? I seem to have heard of your name. Oh, yes! I heard it from your city lord Jin Rong. Are you here for the future prosperity of my Moxi Sect?"

Lu Yunsheng didn't dare to look directly at Li Wan, and said with his head slightly lowered: "I dare not say that I came here for the prosperity of your clan, but it is enough to reduce a large amount of expenses for your clan right now!"

After saying this, Lu Yunsheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, for he was afraid that this Jindan stage cultivator would slap him to death.

Just now, he had boasted in order to see the real master first. At this moment, Uncle Hu beside him was also sweating coldly. He could not bear the anger of the Jindan cultivator. If things went wrong, both of their lives would end here.

"Oh? Tell me, how can I reduce the expenses of Moxi Sect?"

Hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Wan was not angry.

Lu Yunsheng didn't dare to think too much at this time, and immediately replied: "I accidentally learned that your sect has a large number of industries in Tieshan City, and there is also a mineral vein. And the menial tasks in those industries are taken turns by your sect's disciples, and they are also given thirty low-grade spirit stones every half a month."

Li Wan smiled when she heard this: "Little friend Lu knows so much about my Moxi Sect, but how do you plan to help my sect reduce expenses next?"

"That's right, Master. After I heard the news, I did some calculations. Your sect spends 60 low-grade spirit stones on each of its dispatched disciples every month, which is 720 per year. If there are disciples, it would cost low-grade spirit stones per year. If they are handed over to me to do these chores, each person would only need low-grade spirit stones per year. In this way, your sect can save hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year, and these disciples of your sect can practice with peace of mind. Over time, the Moxi Sect will only become more prosperous."

When Li Wan heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and she thought to herself that she had just dozed off when someone came to deliver a pillow. For her, saving a few spirit stones was secondary, and the main thing was to stop the elders from having any small thoughts.

Lu Yunsheng's calculation was very intuitive, and anyone would know how to choose. Seeing that Li Wan was still thinking, Lu Yunsheng did not dare to disturb her and could only wait.

Not long after, Li Wan's voice sounded again: "I will think about this matter again and give you a reply as soon as possible. You can go back now."

Although Lu Yunsheng and the others did not get the answer they wanted immediately, the best news was that Li Wan did not directly refuse.

"Yes! Master," Lu Yunsheng responded and was about to leave. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't given his gift yet. He stepped forward again and said to Li Wan, "Master, this is the spiritual wine that I accidentally got. I'm giving it to you as a gift."

Lu Yunsheng handed over the jar of wine and the maid beside him took it.

"You have a heart."

When Lu Yunsheng and Uncle Hu returned to Tieshan City, night was about to fall.

Uncle Hu said goodbye to Lu Yunsheng. Uncle Hu had other things to do, so Lu Yunsheng returned to Duobao Pavilion alone. Everyone was busy now, and he was the only one who had some free time for the time being.

After giving instructions to the people below, Lu Yunsheng went up to the attic on the second floor to start practicing. After merging with Wang Ji next door, Lu Yunsheng no longer had to live in the storage room and once again had his own big room.

There are now twelve stores in Duobao Pavilion. On its first day of business yesterday, the total net profit reached more than two thousand low-grade spirit stones.

With a lot of spirit stones, Lu Yunsheng now uses the best elixirs for cultivation. His cultivation is also rapidly advancing towards the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Early the next morning, Lu Yunsheng was still immersed in his cultivation when he was interrupted by the waiter knocking on the door.

Lu Yunsheng opened the door and said unhappily, "Aniu, didn't you tell me not to disturb me?"

"Boss, someone's looking for us downstairs. He said he's from the Moxi Sect." Aniu explained.

When Lu Yunsheng heard the words "Moxi Sect", he immediately ran downstairs.

I saw a thin old man in a plain robe sitting on a chair and drinking tea.

When Lu Yunsheng saw this person, he stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "I didn't know that a distinguished guest from the Moxi Sect would come. I apologize for not welcoming you in person."

When the old man saw Lu Yunsheng, he immediately stood up, walked forward, and said to Lu Yunsheng: "Haha, no problem, I am Liu Yu, the elder of the Deacon Hall of Moxi Sect. Today, I am ordered by our sect master to come to Duobao Pavilion to discuss yesterday's matter with Master Lu."
