Chapter 438: Chapter 17 No Need To Overdo It 【Seeking monthly ticket!】_1

"Finally back."

Chu Liang raised his hand and launched a blade of Sword Qi, easily slaying the Wine Jar Demon in the river. Immediately, a sense of fulfillment surged in his heart.

Even though he had become the richest man in Shu Mountain, he still enjoyed the diligent sensations of monster grinding. From the Lantern Monster from the beginning, to the later Poisonous Bee, Black Fur Ball, Wine Jar Demon...

The feeling of progressively collecting items was indeed addictive.

Ever since the Wine Jar Demon appeared, the Black Fur Ball had not shown up for a long time, but Chu Liang didn’t care. The Berry Garden was now large enough to be self-sufficient. If there was no intent to further expand production, it is acceptable to develop slowly as it is.

Wu Dao Incense is currently of utmost importance.

The scale of the Drunk Spirit Flower Field is not large, with only a small plot of flower bed and not many leaves could be picked each day. Although the output of Wu Dao Incense was increasing, it still could not meet the internal demand of the Shu Mountain Sect.

After all, this genuine and immensely beneficial item for cultivation was something Berries could not contend with. The price of Wu Dao Incense, although higher than Berries, was quite affordable compared to other Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure beneficial for achieving enlightenment.

So every batch of Wu Dao Incense on the market would immediately trigger a frenzy among Shu Mountain Sect disciples. As for disciples from other Immortal Sects who came in admiration, many wanted to buy the Wu Dao Incense, but found that there was none available.

Such resources are naturally to be provided first to members of their own sect.

Wen Yulong couldn’t keep up with the production himself, so he simply took a leaf out of Chu Liang’s book and hired two brothers from the Chuan Jian Hall at a high price to help produce Wu Dao Incense. Chu Liang was quite pleased with this decision, as it seemed that Junior Brother Wen had the realization to take on the boss’s role.

Currently, the development of Shu Mountain is not high enough, so it needed Shu Mountain disciples to do these production tasks. He believed in a few more years, these dirty and tiresome production tasks could be completely outsourced to smaller Immortal Sects, and Shu Mountain disciples would only need to focus on cultivation.

Even if they didn’t want to cultivate, and simply lay around idly, they could have high welfare benefits to support them.

All of this would be credited to the original accumulation made by Chu Liang’s generation.

"Huh?"

Chu Liang followed the river and slew the Wine Jar Demons one by one. When he reached the last one, he suddenly found one was missing.

Why does a Wine Jar Demon get lost every few days when not slain?

His brow slowly furrowed.

This bloody thief who stole the Wine Jar Demon had already taken off with two entire Wine Jar Demons... The loss inflicted on him was colossal.

That’s too much!

But why would someone only steal one?

Furthermore, others can’t exchange rewards without the White Pagoda, so stealing this thing is useless, right?

Chu Liang began to consider another possibility. This Wine Jar Demon seemed to be able to accumulate Yin Qi, and once it accumulated to its full capacity, would it cause some changes? Would it leave this place or gain consciousness ...

After thinking about it, he decided to leave this last Wine Jar Demon and placed a Tailing Talisman on it.

This way, he could sense the location of this Wine Jar Demon at any time.

To see where it would eventually go.

...

The next day, news came from the Unbounded Palace requesting Chu Liang to come over.

Naturally, it was Master Wen Yuan who wanted to see him.

Chu Liang didn’t know what was going on, so he immediately put down the matters at hand and rushed over. Inside the quiet chamber of the Unbounded Palace, the four Zhenshan Elders were all present, looking at him with smiles on their faces.

"Sect Master, revered elders." Chu Liang paid his respects one by one.

"Recently, the development at Red Cotton Peak has been good." Master Wen Yuan started by praising him, "When we first gave you the mountain peak, we had some worries. But now it seems that we were overly concerned, you handle matters very securely."

"All due to the wise leadership of the Sect Master, and the strong support from all the elders." Chu Liang responded with a modest smile, "This disciple is merely the one running errands."

Master Wen Yuan shook his head with a smile, "The credit that belongs to you is yours, Shu Mountain Sect doesn’t endorse flattering superiors."

Although he said so, he still laughed very happily... Chu Liang thought to himself.

"I heard that some days ago, you let Taotie City invest 10%? Giving them a share of this business directly?" At this moment, Elder Chuan Jian directly asked, "Does this have any implications?"

So, they wanted to ask about this matter.

Chu Liang smiled and replied, "It’s not an issue, the agreement with Taotie City is only for ten years, which is just the duration that Red Cotton Peak is under my control. Once the ten years are up, the cooperation with Taotie City will also end."

"But I heard that you also made... some sort of bet agreement?" The Pill Furnace Elder also asked, "If you don’t make a profit by then, you’ll be burdened with a debt of a full six hundred thousand..."

He hesitated for a moment, seemingly embarrassed to continue. The Law Enforcement Elder straightforwardly said, "If you can’t pay off this money, they will definitely come to Shu Mountain Sect to demand it. Was this decision a bit rash?"

"It is normal for revered elders to have concerns." Chu Liang said, "I was planning to explain things to you all once they settled down. This part is absolutely without issue."

"Oh?" The elders showed expressions of eagerness to hear more.

"Because I won’t only pull in Taotie City for investment, there may be three to four more companies in the future. If the capital scale is small, there may even be more. I only need to keep the majority of power in my hands. As long as the funds invested later are enough to cover the debt of six hundred thousand Vermilion Bird coins, we can only make a profit. After our Red Cotton Peak prospers, the later investors will only invest more money, and the conditions should not be as harsh, there will be no more bet agreements."

Chu Liang gave them a detailed explanation.

"So, it’s like robbing Peter to pay Paul?" The Law-enforcement Elder was the first to understand and immediately said, "In that case, doesn’t it mean that this can be rolled over forever? As long as new funds are continuously introduced, then the previous deficits can be filled, even if all these businesses are at a loss... as long as we tell outsiders that we are making money."

Hmm.

Law-enforcement Elder really has a great idea, no wonder he is the most learned person in the Shu Mountain. Chu Liang acknowledged him in his heart.

He was quick to think of the way for imprisonment of more than seven years.

"We cannot act this way." Master Wen Yuan pondered and shook his head, "No production and only tricks, it’s definitely not the righteous path. One day, this snowball can’t be pushed, then Shu Mountain will become the enemy of the world."

"Law-enforcement Elder is indeed wise and thoughtful, while the Sect Master’s vision is inspiring." Chu Liang complimented them all, and then said, "The most important thing is to develop Red Cotton Peak. Now that we have taken the first step, this disciple is confident."

"The elder and I, and all the elders, have high expectations of you." Master Wen Yuan nodded slowly, and then said, "Actually, if you are short of funds, our sect can also provide assistance."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang immediately understood the real purpose of calling him here today.

The so-called "providing assistance" is nothing more than seeing that Taotie City’s investment can make money, and now the upper echelon of Shu Mountain wants to invest in the same way, they’re just not saying it straightforwardly.

They saw that Red Cotton Peak was doing well, and Taotie City made money from its investment, the elders also wanted to get in on the action.

After all, Red Cotton Peak still belongs to Shu Mountain, and Chu Liang has always been borrowing the public credibility of Shu Mountain. If the money is all taken by outsiders, it indeed seems a bit unreasonable.

Chu Liang blinked upon hearing this, kept his smile unchanged, and immediately waved his hand and answered, "There’s no need for that."

The elders who were prepared to show gratifying expressions, paused for a moment, "Hmm?"
