Fuyuán Jū, the village head called Wang's disciples to the Qingxiang Fang.
Wang Rongsheng, Tang Nianqiu, Wang Yulong, Wang Yuman, and other Wang's children serving at the Zhizhi Fang and Fuyuan Zong all gathered in front of the village head.
Yulong noticed that Bailu hadn't arrived, and it was true that the girl had been hidden away by Tang Nianqiu, doing honest labor under the radar.
The village head sat in the main seat, seeing that people were almost all gathered, he cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Rongsheng, you also know him. I have decided to appoint him as the executor of the Wang family in Qingxiang Fang. In the future, all of Wang's businesses in Qingxiang Fang will be under his management."
Nianqiu, you are still the grand manager of Zhizhi Fang and Fuyuan Juzhu. The newly established Baobao Ge will be under Yulong's control, and you two will be responsible for the daily operation of these shops.
Rongsheng's main task is to cultivate and defend. If there is something, he can handle it promptly in Qingxiang Fang."
This arrangement is actually thanks to Hongmei.
Hongmei looted the Jinguang Pavilion, accumulating enough resources for her foundation building, only to be instantly refined by Wang Xianmao.
The plan for Baobao Ge can be started immediately.
The ordinary, experienced Qi of Wang Rongsheng now had a chance to further his quest for foundation building.
All of this is thanks to Hongmei's greed.
If he didn't greedily loot the Jinguang Pavilion, how could he dare to do so?
If he didn't greed, he wouldn't have harbored ill intent towards Yulong and Yuman.
If he wasn't greedy, he couldn't have given Wang Xianmao the opportunity.
Hongmei is too greedy and has lost his decisiveness.
He still dared to dream of some kind of compromise, even though he handed over his Achilles' heel to the Wang family.
But Wang Xianmao didn't give him a chance, directly seizing his path.
Eventually, he ended up in an indecisive and thoroughly exhausted situation.
"Baobao Ge? Village head, are you thinking of opening a new shop?"
Tang Nianqiu was somewhat surprised, which was not strange at all. Anyone would be surprised to suddenly have a direct supervisor over them.
"Mm, the situation in the Wolong Fang will still be chaotic for a long time. The Miaofeng Mountain won't be satisfied, and the shops on the other side will have to close for a while. We must hurry up and prepare Baobao Ge."
Letting Rongsheng come over was to help the family with future layout in Qingxiang Fang. Baobao Ge was opened up to the highest standard in Qingxiang Fang, and it needed a high-level Qi practitioner to take charge.
You all may go down, leave Rongsheng and Yulong here.
Tang Nianqiu left with a heavy heart, this independent big manager definitely had some reservations about Wang Xianmao's arrangements, but he had to follow orders.
"Rongsheng, you're just over a hundred this year, right?"
The village head's words were quite meaningful. Wang Rongsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied calmly.
"One hundred and three, village head."
One hundred and twenty years is the golden line for Qi practitioners to build their foundation. Building foundation at this age will directly gain three shus of longevity, with a minimum lifespan of three hundred and sixty years.
With a special cultivation method, proper maintenance, and the good fortune of not being injured, living to be four hundred years old is also possible.
This is immortality.
Once you reach one hundred and twenty and still haven't built a foundation, the loss of essence cannot be recovered, and the longevity gained from advancing in cultivation will also decrease.
The village head's words gave Wang Rongsheng a glimpse of something possible, and he looked forward to it with great anticipation.
"If that's the case, I will arrange some potion shares and other corresponding provisions for you. In the coming years, besides looking after the family's businesses in Qingxiang Fang, your main task will be cultivation."
"If you can reach the peak of Qi cultivation before the age of one hundred and fifteen, the family will give you a chance to build a foundation and half the necessary resources for it as a reward for your contribution."
Hearing the village head's promise, Wang Rongsheng's heart was beating so fast that it felt as if it would fly out of his chest. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, choked up and said.
"Rongsheng, I must do my utmost!"
As a child watched over by Wang Xianmao and raised as his own, the village head naturally felt a great fondness for him.
With a gentle touch of his spiritual power, the village head lifted up Wang Rongsheng and spoke softly.
"The family will not take advantage of anyone who contributes to the family. Rongsheng, train hard, and there's a chance."
After saying that, he turned to Yulong and said.
"Yulong, you should learn from your Rongsheng uncle. He has mediocre talent and wasted many years, but he has never given up on cultivation."
The destiny of a cultivator is very unpredictable. Even if you face great difficulties in the future, you must never give up."
Wang Xianmao's earnest teaching conveyed profound care and expectations.
The village head knows that Yulong is a very intelligent child, so he always worries that his wisdom will be his downfall.
"Your guidance, village head, I have engraved it in my heart."
Yulong realized more and more that the village head had high expectations for him.
It can be said that the village head's ardent expectations would touch anyone who heard it.
"I've talked to Muchunze about the matter of Baobao Ge. This person is worse than Jiang Baoguo."
Jiang Baoguo is extremely greedy, but at least he has some semblance of modesty. Muchunze doesn't even put on an act, ah.
"When you encounter chaos from Muchunze in Qingxiang Fang, you can always come to me and talk about it."
"Our Wang family relies on the ancestor BOM HENG, now it's time for our happiness after hardship. Even if he is the true transmission of Hongling Zhao, you have nothing to fear."
Yulong thought for a moment and replied with a subtle hint.
"Village head, although the number of practicing Qi cultivators on Miaofeng Mountain is on the decline, the other affiliated factions of Hongling Zhao are not much better off."
"We Wang family is preparing for several practitioners to advance to the foundation building stage during this expansion. The situation we may face in the future will probably be very tough."
The resources in the heavens and earth are limited. Hongling Zhao has been slicing away, nearly cutting off the roots of the vassal sects and families in their domain.
The items exchanged at the Merit Hall will serve as catalysts, and in the coming decades, a large number of foundation-building cultivators will emerge.
Yulong is concerned that the Wang family's expansion will encounter setbacks due to excessive enthusiasm.
The logic is simple. With more foundation-building cultivators in the Wang family, there will also be an increase in other families' and sects' foundation-building cultivators. The relative strength of everyone remains the same.
But the competitive landscape has changed, and how will the Wang family support these newly born foundation-building cultivators?
Wang Xianmao was stunned for a long time and sighed.
"I hadn't thought of these things at all. Yulong, you truly are the celestial son of the Wang family."
"Rongsheng, take good care of Yulong in the future. He should not be easily allowed to follow Hongmei out again."
The village head understood Yulong's warning, but in reality, he had no way to do anything about it.
Bom Heng is the master of Xuanzhen Zhenren, and the actual controller of the Wang family's thousand-year-old vassal factions.
He wants to attain the Golden Core Dan, and the Wang family can't not support it.
We must support it, and there's no choice.
The Bom Heng line has so many vassals, and other families have all done their best to support them.
If the Wang family is cunning and does not put in much effort while putting out a lot of money, would the Zhenren not have a small account book?
So, even though he saw the danger, Wang Xianmao had no choice but to act!
The Heavenly Alliance governs ten sects, and the ten sects suppress numerous vassals. This rule is like a cage, but those with weak powers can only comply.
Under this tight control, the Wang family is just a bigger ant.
Yulong naturally understands this principle, so he thought of another way.
"Village head, I have a somewhat immature idea."
Wang Rongsheng looked at the confident descendant of his clan with surprise. He didn't understand why Yulong liked to perform in front of the village head so much.
You're just a Qi Initiation level five cultivator. Who are you to have so much to say?
"Go ahead!"
Wang Xianmao was eagerly anticipating Yulong's 'immature little idea.'
The reason for this is that Yulong has already given him many surprises and has proven himself multiple times.
A new business in the small room of Fuhuan Ju is one example, as well as capturing and dealing with Redmei's intentions.
Nowadays, Wang Xianmao didn't treat Yulong as a child anymore. He was eagerly looking forward to seeing other surprises from Yulong.
"The Hongming cult oppresses vassal sects and families like us to provide resources for Bom Heng Ancestor, but this oppression is transmitted layer by layer. The hardest hit now are the scattered cultivators."
In this situation, scattered cultivators have to choose between cutting off their path or becoming curse cultivators. Only a few can continue to maintain their cultivation.
The expansion of our Wang family should not only expand the number of foundation-building cultivators, but also timely recruit non-family cultivators to increase our family's foundation.
In this way, we can take more initiative in the future.
If we recruit too many scattered cultivators, we can even organize teams to hunt monsters in the Western Sea directly.
"Our Wang family still has some level in spirit bone artifact creation. We should form more hunting teams, use beast bones to refine artifacts, beast hides to create talismans, and beast meat to refine spirit pills."
Wang Xianmao nodded repeatedly, clearly agreeing with Yulong's suggestion.
By the side, Wang Rongsheng was even more impressed with Yulong. He had never seen such an outstanding descendant in the family before.
Yulong's suggestions and observations were not particularly special or even brilliant.
But in this world, they were suggestions with significant practical value.
At the end of the day, the cultivation world lacks dialectical thinking education and does not understand the universality and specificity of connections.
In a world where great power belongs to individuals, the innovation of method and recognition philosophy is pitifully primitive.
After all, no matter how sophisticated your methodology and epistemology may be, they are no match for the flying swords of high-level cultivators.
Need determines value, without need, there is no value, and thus, it will not develop.
But, after thinking for a long time, Wang Xianmao finally spoke up in a melancholic tone.
"It's a good suggestion. Just wait for a bit. You're all members of the Wang family; there's nothing to hide from you."
"Tie Qinhe and Rong Jiang are both in seclusion to cultivate foundation. Wait for them to emerge from their seclusion, and we will consider whether to recruit scattered cultivators!"
