Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333: The Way of Management

Kong Ziyi is someone who knows her own strengths and weaknesses; when she finds herself lacking in a certain area, she makes the right choice.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Feng Jun was taken aback and felt as if he had taken a bullet to the knee, "This... didn’t I already say I wouldn’t interfere?"

"This isn’t interference, it’s helping me negotiate," Kong Ziyi said with a smile, "You’re the professional, I trust you!"

Feng Jun had no choice but to agree, and why? Kong Ziyi wasn’t lacking Spirit Stones and could unhesitatingly gift him a Super Large Storage Bag.

She was striving to secure favorable terms for her fellow disciples, fulfilling her responsibilities as a member of Taiqing.

So he could only cough awkwardly and look helplessly at Huang Fu Flawless, "A daily rent of five hundred Spirit Stones... all the cultivation techniques combined, five hundred Spirit Stones is quite an income, can’t let people use them for free."

"Five hundred Spirit Stones?" Huang Fu Flawless eyed him suspiciously. After thinking for a moment, she nodded decisively, "Sure, as long as you can convince... why do you think that so many techniques are worth just five hundred in rent?"

Oh, come on! Despite Yu Pao being used to being carefree, her attitude made his heart skip a beat. Such a shrewd woman was willing to compromise just with a reason—something suspicious was afoot.

"As clever as you are, do I even need to explain?" Feng Jun said with a smile, "For Mingsha Fang Market to reach a collaboration with Taiqing and sell cultivation techniques, what great merit that would be. If it could be publicized, what an immense achievement it would be!"

He didn’t want to talk about advertising effects and the like, but he believed that Huang Fu Flawless should understand—do you realize how shocking it would be for Taiqing to be willing to purchase Tiantong’s techniques? How much of a buying wave it would trigger?

Huang Fu Flawless couldn’t help but twitch her lips; this guy is truly my destined calamity.

She was originally planning just that, and all related methods were ready. The reason she hadn’t hurried to contact Taiqing was merely to extract some more benefits.

She wasn’t expecting her plan to necessarily evade Feng Jun, but she hoped Feng Jun wouldn’t detect her scheme, making her feel she’d won a round—that’s why she provocatively asked Feng Jun a question earlier.

But after Feng Jun exposed her plan with a single comment, she decisively decided not to provoke him anymore—better to negotiate honestly with Taiqing. While this matter might not earn much Spirit Stone, it could win a big favor from Mingsha Tiantong, which is fine.

However, she never expected Kong Ziyi to pull out a big move at the crucial moment—lock the door, unleash Feng Jun?

Where was that restraint befitting a Taiqing disciple? She thought they had sisterly affection, but it turned out to be just superficial.

While she was considering how to respond, An Yuhong chimed in, "Mountain Master Feng, Tiantong doesn’t dare to negotiate with Taiqing Marketplace, but can with Mingsha Fang Market? What’s the difference between the two?"

Feng Jun couldn’t help rolling his eyes. There’s a huge difference, you see. When you invest ten billion in a project in the Magic City, see who entertains you; when you invest ten billion in Yuyuan, see who receives you there.

Of course, such comparisons were something people from the mobile phone realm would struggle to understand, so he tried to use plain language.

"Tiantong at Taiqing Marketplace, they’re already closely affiliated with Taiqing, nothing much to talk about there; but how far is Mingsha Fang Market from Taiqing? Roughly two million miles, here closer to Wanfu Platform and Tianxin Platform, so... here it counts as performance, over there it doesn’t."

The crowd fell silent again, but soon enough, Yu Pao was the first to speak, respectfully clasping his hands towards Feng Jun, "The master often says, travel ten thousand miles, read ten thousand books; indeed, he didn’t deceive me. Mountain Master Feng, your talent is unmatched, Yu admires deeply!"

He truly understood the logic behind today, as for what admiration means, just listen—how could a registered walking disciple of Wuwei Peak easily admire anyone?

However, Feng Jun didn’t need him to truly admire him, nor even had any interest in glancing at him. He just slightly turned his head to Kong Ziyi, smiling, "Daoist Ziyi, I helped you negotiate a lower price."

This kind of disregard could be considered an insult to Yu Pao, but Feng Jun didn’t mind—he’d figured it out, in this realm, being meticulous in business isn’t a bad thing, but it’s easy to be looked down upon without a little bit of one’s own temper.

Yu Pao himself wasn’t angry; he respectfully clasped his hands again and took two steps back, "Thank you, Mountain Master Feng, for enlightening me."

This was not an act; he genuinely thought so. As for Wuwei Peak, most of the time, they talked about inaction.

Kong Ziyi couldn’t be bothered with him either—everyone was a registered walking disciple on behalf of their master, none was inferior to another.

So she looked at Huang Fu Flawless and with a smile asked, "Mountain Master Feng has negotiated a lower price, do you have anything else to say?"

Huang Fu Flawless also straightforwardly conceded defeat, "You’ve brought him out, how could I possibly compete with you? But Ziyi, let me tell you, the daily rent of two thousand spirit stones is non-negotiable; that’s my bottom line. Otherwise, you might as well find someone else to help with it."

She spoke straightforwardly, but who is Kong Ziyi? She is very familiar with Huang Fu Flawless and knows just how extraordinary her talents are in commerce.

The two talked straight into the night because they both knew that though the current dispute was over ten or twenty spirit stones, when it scaled, even half a spirit stone would be worth fighting for. Spirit stones may be few, but the Taiqing Sect has plenty of people.

In the end, they reached an agreement: the cultivation technique would be provided by Tiantong, with a daily rent of one thousand spirit stones.

However, the key point of the agreement is in the latter part—the cultivation techniques purchased by the Taiqing Sect must not appear again.

In fact, there has always been a patent issue with the spread of cultivation techniques. Whether Tiantong Commerce Alliance would resell the cultivation techniques, nobody can say for sure, so the Taiqing Sect had this requirement that Huang Fu Flawless couldn’t contest.

Once everything was negotiated properly, the three peaks of Taiqing began investigating just how many disciples had latent fierce wind and gold attributes.

Worried that the disciples wouldn’t report it, they specially emphasized that after relentless attempts by the three peaks, they have achieved a phase result concerning latent fierce wind and gold attributes, but the only concern is the cost is quite high and requires a considerable amount of sect contributions.

This clearly wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight, and Taiqing wasn’t planning to immediately large-scale divination anyway, as the disciples needed time to accept this news, but a unified divination was necessary—the cost would be much lower.

After the announcement was made, some individuals from the other peaks were quite curious about this news. Latent fierce wind and gold have been a longstanding perplexing issue, and they were curious about how Tianyao Peak solved such a challenge.

If one is determined to inquire, the inside information cannot be kept secret. An Yuhong is now preparing for advancement, and Tang Shixun also arrived at White Pebble Beach and installed the Spirit Stone Generator, while the Taiqing disciples’ small courtyard was being loudly constructed.

Could it be that they were deceived? Some Taiqing disciples were familiar with Crimson Pheonix disciples, so they asked them for information. Although the Crimson Pheonix disciples emphasized confidentiality, too many people knew this news, making it impossible to prevent leaks.

Thus, the Taiqing disciples were stunned to discover that even the matching of Crimson Pheonix Sect’s Fire Marrow Pill was solved by the Master of White Pebble Beach.

Before the Taiqing residence was even completed, Crimson Pheonix disciples hurried to White Pebble Beach as some disciples had finally completed their sect tasks, accumulated enough contribution points needed for tokens, and came to perform divination.

This time, Bai Luan led the team. As soon as she entered Feng Jun’s residence, she raised her hand and punched him, quite unreservedly, "Ha, I’ve long known you were formidable, but never thought you could grow to this extent."

Feng Jun smiled, "Everyone’s support is what made it possible. I ought to thank you that Crimson Pheonix didn’t force me to stay in the sect."

"What’s the point of forcing? You can keep someone physically but not their heart," Bai Luan laughed as she replied, "Who would dare to forcefully retain a divination expert... wouldn’t you agree?"

So it stood that she certainly didn’t mind speaking some pleasantries. If this was before Feng Jun and Chi Luan competed wits, given Bai Luan’s nature of not wanting to lose, the outcome might have been utterly different.

After exchanging pleasantries, Feng Jun remembered something he needed to do, so he spoke quietly, "Could you tell Qu Rongxun to come to my residence at night, I have something to speak with him."

Qu Jianlei had waited for this day impatiently, hearing Feng Jun’s words, as soon as the night fell, he eagerly rushed to the residence.

Feng Jun handed him a Storage Talisman, quietly instructing, "Remember, you must isolate the breath before opening it; this exotic fruit is something even Nascent Soul True Immortals would compete for."

In this realm, these words were a bit exaggerated, but Qu Jianlei was not one to blindly trust others. However, Feng Jun’s actions and his generosity truly conquered him, and he left with a thousand thanks only after receiving the Storage Talisman.

Before Qu Rongxun departed from White Pebble Beach, he specially found Bai Luan and said, "I’ll be handling some matters for a few days, so could you look after Feng Jun in my absence?"

Bai Luan’s relationship with Qu Jianlei was rather ordinary, but Rongxun always warranted respect even if her status as one of the Nine Luans meant her future prospects were much stronger than Qu Jianlei’s.

Thus she nodded, "No problem, I’m just here to discuss communication system training with the Huang Fu girls."

At the earlier Mundance Communication Deliberative Assembly’s first meeting, Bai Luan and Hei Luan represented Crimson Pheonix. She even missed Feng Jun’s thunder plains journey for it, and it was only at the conference that she learned the equipment was provided by Feng Jun and installation was managed by the Huang Fu family.

Hence, upon returning to Crimson Pheonix, she took on the installation training task. Though Hei Luan also knew Feng Jun, their relationship was quite poor, and she felt this was a tiring task, choosing to relinquish it.

What Chi Luan didn’t expect was, upon arriving at White Pebble Beach, discovering that Taiqing Sect’s Tianyao and Kongxing peaks had also sent people to participate in the training organized by Huang Fu Flawless, hence she naturally stayed a little longer, attending to the matter Qu Rongxun entrusted to her.

After acquiring the Storage Talisman, Qu Jianlei quietly left, and within merely two days, returned to Crimson Pheonix and found Master Xiaomeng, "Xiaomeng, I found the thing you wanted."
