My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 617 Defense and Offense

The TW organization naturally couldn't intercept Yang Genshuo and his group at the airport.

Having watched quite a few TV dramas, I do have some counter-surveillance skills.

Xiao Yan led them on a fast journey to another city, where they boarded a plane to return home.

Jiuhua mountain.

"Stay on the mountain during this time and don't wander around. I have plenty of food here, so don't worry."

"Tian Zhe, think of a reason to talk to the others."

"All ten of you go and practice your skills properly. Let me have some peace and quiet."

After handing the matter over to Tian Zhe and his disciples, Yang Genshuo went to his own workspace.

He locked himself up.

Begin summarizing and reflecting.
They definitely failed this time.

"The objective was not achieved, and the site was also exposed."

"The enemy is currently in the shadows while we are in the open; the situation is extremely unfavorable for us."

"However, it wasn't all for naught. At least we learned that the real mastermind behind the TW organization is a group of people, not just one, and that Lin Bai is behind it all."

Lin Bai was very observant and, by taking advantage of the other person's carelessness, he realized that the person was a public figure.

The world's top billionaires.

“They are indeed the most powerful people in the world. No wonder the Taiwanese organization has such great financial resources and can do whatever it wants.”

"However, once I get my hands on your list, heh heh~"

"Want to play with me? Come on, let's see who can beat whom."

Yang Genshuo did not make a rash move. He was now almost in the open, and the other side could come to cause him trouble at any time.

They even caused trouble for his company.

The most important thing now is defense.

He must first protect his people and his assets before taking the initiative.

Otherwise, if he couldn't find that person for a long time and things went wrong at home, he would be in a terrible predicament.

Even for the top tycoon whom Lin Bai recognized, it would take some time to obtain his itinerary.

Yang Genshuo believed that if the other party was indeed the founder of the Taiwan organization, they would have many counter-surveillance methods, and he could not act rashly.

Now that they have all fled from the United States, the other side is likely to be quite nervous, and it would be difficult to achieve any results if they were to take action at this time.

"It would be better to pretend I haven't discovered anything, let them lower their guard, and then launch a surprise attack once I've set up my defenses and secured my rear!"

Jiuhua Mountain is relatively safe, as it has various traps and formations that Yang Genshuo and his men set up long ago.

But that was arranged according to his previous vision and abilities. It was enough to prevent some people with ulterior motives from spying on it, but it wasn't strong enough.

After all, he had only thought about keeping some annoying internet celebrities and elderly walking groups from bothering his life.

The mechanisms are mostly for warning and monitoring, and the formations are either illusionary formations that don't harm people or defensive formations specifically designed for defense. The main idea is to get you up there, walk around in a bit, and then send you down in a daze.

But now he is facing bad guys.

They are the kind of agents who might resort to all sorts of radical methods!

Yang Genshuo wouldn't be surprised if they used a drone with a bomb strapped to it to launch a suicide attack on him.

Of course, his second-grade defensive formation could withstand attacks of this magnitude.

However, a second-grade formation can only cover his manor, not the entire Jiuhua Mountain. Moreover, the defensive power of a second-grade formation is limited; at most, it can only withstand attacks at the Qi Refining stage, such as rifle fire.

But what if we used some high-powered, large-caliber sniper rifles?
Yang Genshuo's second-grade formation really couldn't stop them.

Yang Shi had tried this before.

A Barrett rifle can punch a hole in a second-grade formation!

Outdated defense methods are no longer keeping up with the ever-growing security needs.

"Now that I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I possess greater spiritual power and control, so it's time to set up my Rank 3 formation."

The third-grade formation – [Rock Solid Thousand Peaks Formation].

Earth-based formations, with their superior defensive capabilities, can be constructed based on the terrain to create a robust and reliable array.

This is perfect for use on Mount Jiuhua.

He dug a large hole beneath the manor, inside which was buried a tiny spiritual vein, the source of spiritual energy for the entire manor.

Once the third-grade formation is set up and connected to the spiritual vein, a continuous supply of spiritual energy will be available for use.

"Theoretically speaking, if it's not an army attacking me, long-range assassinations can basically be defended against."

The Foundation Establishment Formation has considerable defensive capabilities.

Yang Genshuo majored in "Mechanical Arts", and array formations were also one of his compulsory courses.

Now that you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, setting up a Grade 3 formation is only natural.

"The formation can be set up in just one day, so it's not a difficult task, but..."

Yang Genshuo scanned the manor with his divine sense. There were a large number of people here, filling the very spacious manor. Some people were also living in tents temporarily set up on the grass in the courtyard.

Most of them are from Cheng Bo and Liang Xuetong's labs, and these researchers are also Yang Genshuo's valuable asset.

"The formation can protect Mount Jiuhua, but it's not good for so many people to stay on the mountain. How can we ensure their safety?"

These people have all signed contracts with Yang Genshuo, so there's no need to worry about them betraying him. However, if they are captured by the Taiwan organization, wouldn't Yang Genshuo be unable to protect his people?
Yang Genshuo thought and thought, but he couldn't come up with a good way to protect everyone. After all, even if he sent out all ten of his apprentices, he couldn't keep an eye on everyone.

"It's easy to steal, but hard to guard against it."

"How should we proceed with the next steps? The spiritual wave weapon in Liang Xuetong's laboratory is at a critical moment. If it can be developed, it will truly change the landscape."

This is something that both Yang Genshuo and the Yang family can use.

The future prospects are bright, even brighter than those of laser weapons.

Suddenly, Yang Genshuo's eyes swept across the window, taking in the deep mountain scenery. A flash of inspiration struck him.

"Since we can't get out, why don't we just do things on Mount Jiuhua?"

He recalled the various large bases of the Taiwan organization.

That space is truly vast, with seven or eight underground floors, each floor being a huge space that can accommodate thousands of people to work and rest without feeling crowded at all.

It's truly impressive.

"They can do it, but I can't?"

"Since it's not safe outside for the time being, I'll create a haven here that can accommodate all of my people."

With a change of perspective, Yang Genshuo's mind became quick again.

"For ordinary people, building a house by clearing a mountain might be a huge undertaking, but for me, it's not much different from playing Minecraft. There are too many ways to quickly build a cave dwelling in the cultivation world's [Spiritual Construction Technique]. A cultivator can create a cave dwelling with just a few strokes."

“I still have many Standard Spirit Building Blocks that were offered up before. My apprentices can use these to build houses.”

Simply put a large number of Standard Spirit Blocks into their storage rings and place them wherever you want.

With their skill, they could build houses themselves with just a little guidance.

The only problem is the craft of "Spirit Construction Technique". Although it is a low-end means for rogue cultivators to make a living, it still requires some thresholds, namely the flow of spiritual energy and the combination of the five elements.

The balance of the five elements can be learned, but the flow of spiritual energy...
"Lin Bai can see some things; he can serve as the captain of a temporary construction team. But other martial arts practitioners can't see anything at all, unless they become immortal cultivators." Lin Bai can only see the general outline; it's impossible for him to be highly professional.

Only true cultivators can master this simple art of cultivation.

"It seems it's time to create a cultivator."

Since we need to focus on defense during this period, let's undertake large-scale construction!

Transform Jiuhua Mountain into a base belonging to the Youxianqi Group!

"In this way, many problems will be easily solved!"

"There's no need to worry about being spied on or assassinated. We can even manage them centrally, with a central canteen so that everyone can eat spiritual food. They can also practice martial arts to strengthen their kidneys and bodies. Here, their bodies will be nourished by spiritual energy, making them more energetic and in better condition."

Anyone who has ever worked like a beast of burden knows that sometimes the work environment can determine a person's state of mind.

A good environment can significantly improve work efficiency and increase the happiness of livestock.

Take a breath of fresh air, and enjoy a cup of Luckin Coffee.

"This way, the people working for me are more efficient, and I can also guide their work at any time."

Once you open your mind, the world is your oyster!
"The plan to transform Jiuhua Mountain begins today!"

"Let's use the materials we have to build some temporary houses and move people in first."

Yang Genshuo has a large amount of materials that were sent during the previous ancestral worship ceremony, but this "large amount" is based on his personal situation and can be used for many years.

However, when it comes to transforming a mountain, he needs a massive amount of spiritual materials.

A large quantity is still not enough.

"Next time we hold the ancestral worship ceremony, I'll have Yang Qiangjing offer me a batch of sacred materials."

"Speaking of ancestor worship, there are really a lot of things to do this time."

It wasn't just that he needed things; there were also many family matters that required his attention.

He, Yang Fu, and Yang Qiangjing had already discussed many things to do for this ancestral worship ceremony when they had a small meeting.

The ancestral worship ceremony will begin in 25 days.

"I'll use this time to gradually implement what I've been planning. Once I've settled things with Jiuhua Mountain, I'll play with you all again."

"Hmph! Just wait and see!"

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, so we should hold back for now.

"Tian Zhe, call Liang Xuetong up for a meeting."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Tian Zhe was already used to communicating through telepathy, so he got up and went to find Liang Xuetong.

Yang Genshuo's initial plan is only a general outline; its actual implementation will depend on the civil engineering guy.

Don't underestimate Liang Xuetong, a human from Earth; he participated in the design of the new Bright City!

He just didn't know what many of the formations inside were for.

"and many more!"

Yang Genshuo then realized a problem.

Should we confront Liang Xuetong directly?

The two are currently communicating only through a thick barrier, unable to break through that barrier.

If he were to lay all his cards on the table, he could teach him knowledge of the cultivation world, including the flow of the five elements and the study of spiritual construction, so that he could take these aspects into account when designing his base, which would make his Jiuhua Mountain base even more complete.

After much thought, Yang Genshuo finally gave a wry smile.

"Never mind, I was overthinking it. Someone as smart as Liang Xuetong has studied spirit stones for so long, he must have made many guesses. It would be a good thing if he could explain the cultivation knowledge such as the Five Elements spiritual power clearly."

In Yang Genshuo's team, most of them were his best friends, classmates, and close confidants. Liang Xuetong was the only exception. He was recruited by Yang Genshuo with his genuine talent and a well-established team, and was brought in using the spirit stone technology.

He was considered an outsider, and Yang Genshuo and his team had all signed confidentiality agreements.

Once this contract is signed, they cannot reveal anything about themselves or the Youxianqi Group to others. Forcibly leaking information will result in anything from fainting to dementia, making them extremely safe.

“A dramatic change is about to happen here, and we won’t be able to hide it from them any longer. We might as well confront them sooner rather than later.”

Yang Genshuo has already made up his mind.

This was an unexpected event, but it also made him start to seriously review his company and the people he employed, and to think about the future direction of the Fairy Group.

Money is just a number to him.

Whether or not he sells those products is no longer important to him.

Because he had established connections with the official authorities, he had access to the [Ice Crystal Stone] and [Fire Crystal Stone] that the authorities desperately needed, and he could have as much money as he wanted.

Don't doubt the power of the authorities; their strength is unfathomable.

I have too much money, but I'm worried about how to spend it.

The Fairy Group was actually his initial team. Anyone who wants to accomplish something needs many people to assist them.

Even the most powerful person cannot manage to handle all aspects at the same time.

Even a Nascent Soul stage expert is nothing more than one or two clones.

This trip included 10 apprentices who had only been practicing for half a year, making everything much easier.

Even if a trap is set for them, they can retreat calmly.

Yang Genshuo himself has been taking less action.

A hero needs three helpers, and Yang Genshuo must maintain his team.

"Next, the strategy of Xianqi Group will shift from making profits to building an all-around team."

Jiuhua Mountain was the starting point for all of this.

A sudden enlightenment reveals the vastness of the world.

"Tian Zhe, go and call Xiao Zhi, Cheng Bo, Liang Xuetong, Xu Mengqi, and Lin Bai over. I need to hold an important plenary meeting."

Soon, all the responsible persons gathered at Yang Genshuo's studio.

The group includes Guo Xiaozhi, General Manager and Legal Representative of Xianqi Group; Cheng Bo, Manager of Xianqi Pharmaceuticals; Xu Mengqi, Manager of Xianqi Food Factory; Liang Xuetong, Head of Xianqi Spiritual Power Research Lab; Tian Zhe, Manager of Xianqi Security Company; and all members.

This is the core of the Fairy Group, and also the person Yang Genshuo trusts the most.

He trusted these people more than even his own parents.

Because Yang Genshuo not only believed in their character, but also in their abilities.

Everyone looked at the serious-looking Yang Genshuo and realized that something big had happened, so they all sat up straight.

Yang Genshuo looked around at the people who had come this far with him, and slowly began to speak:
“We have business with the Xianqi Group. We’ve offended a powerful organization that could pose a threat to your personal safety. Tian Zhe and I went out, but we couldn’t resolve the issue. I’m very sorry.”

Yang Genshuo bowed slightly to express his apology to those who were following him.

Most of them are ordinary people, and I dragged them into this crisis; in the end, I feel sorry for them.

"Brother Shuo, why are you always sticking with me through thick and thin? I've been making a fortune with you, I never thought I'd be living a life of leisure forever! I've had my fill of these past few years, I've shown off more than I've in the previous 30 years combined! That's enough! Brother Shuo, you tell me, who do you want to mess with, I'll go!"

Guo Xiaozhi was the first to stand up.
