After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 398 No need to come back

"Oh, right, go tell Zhu Hong to stay there and mine, he doesn't need to come back."

Huo Tian then remembered something and gave the order.

Bai Wei exclaimed in shock, "Didn't they say we could come back after digging twenty cartloads of ore?"

"Even digging two hundred truckloads wouldn't make a difference. I'm already being merciful by keeping him alive." Huo Tian snorted coldly, leaving behind a resolute back view.

Bai Wei touched his nose, silently mourning for Zhu Hong in his heart.

Should!
I told you not to be so blind as to offend someone you shouldn't have!
The next morning, Huo Tian came to the courtyard in person.

"My lord, I've brought those two materials. I've also prepared some other things for you. Do you need them?"

Needless to say, the neck stone and Ye Cankui were exactly what Mo Jiuwei needed, so he was definitely going to bring them.

In addition, there were some other things he thought Mo Jiuwei might need.

He chose according to what he knew about Mo Jiuwei's preferences, selecting weapons, flying artifacts, magic robes, and many other magical artifacts that, while seemingly beautiful decorations, actually had other uses.

For example, a very pretty hair clip might actually contain poison; pressing it can incapacitate anyone around it.

There are also beautiful bracelets and pendants, all with hidden meanings.

Besides these, he collected a lot of delicious food, which he bought while searching for people all these years, knowing that the Lord would definitely love to eat them.

He didn't prepare many pills or talismans, but he did prepare a whole Qiankun bag full of materials.

Wow, so many!

Mo Jiuwei was startled when she saw the Qiankun bag.

There are so many, all kinds of materials, it's very complete.

It felt like Huo Tian had organized all his years of accumulated wealth, which was an astonishing fortune that left Mo Jiuwei momentarily stunned.

In terms of materials, these things are far more numerous than those in her immortal abode!
Looking at them, she felt like she had suddenly become rich overnight.

Wow, is this the advantage of being a subordinate who arrived a hundred years earlier than her? This is just too wonderful!
“I’ve already prepared these for you, Lord. I’ve kept all the good things I’ve found for you over the years, just so I could give them to you after I found you.”

Mo Jiuwei's joy also made Huo Tian feel satisfied, and he felt that his search over the years had been worthwhile.

Fortunately, he did not give up because he could not find anyone. Instead, he persevered and repeated these tasks, constantly searching and collecting, which is how he managed to save so much.

"Okay, then I'll accept it." Mo Jiuwei reached out to pat him like she used to, but found that she wasn't tall enough.

Huo Tian smiled, bowed, and lowered his head to her.

Mo Jiuwei only needed to reach out to touch his hair.

"Thank you for your hard work," she said.

"It's no trouble at all, it's Qing's honor." Huo Tian smiled innocently and purely. "I know that they can only play a greater role in your hands."

“Ah Qing, you know my style of doing things. Since you've allowed me to get involved in Wang Liu's affairs…”

“It’s not interference. Wangliu is yours to begin with, so whatever you do is perfectly justified,” Huo Tian corrected. “Just do as you command.”

“It’s tough being a rogue cultivator, and it’s even harder for kids like us who have been abandoned by our families. Since we have the ability, why don’t we lend a hand?” Mo Jiuwei said.

“Yes, I know what you mean. In fact, many of the subordinates that Wangliu has recruited are such rogue cultivators. For example, my subordinate Bai Wei, he is one.” “That’s good, but that’s not enough. I’m considering allocating a special fund to establish a charity hall to take in homeless children. If they are mediocre, they can do some errands for Wangliu or run some small businesses to make ends meet. If they are exceptionally talented, they can be sent to the Xianlai Sect.”

"Of course, this is just a plan, not something we're going to do now, but it's something we definitely have to do in the future."

Mo Jiuwei had long wondered what would happen if she were thrown out onto the street and picked up by a poor rogue cultivator instead of the Xianlai Sect.

No matter how capable she was, there were only so many things she could do in her childhood. Not all adults were willing to trust her like her senior brothers and sisters.

At that time, she probably struggled to even get enough to eat and had to do odd jobs every day, suffering the hardships of a life of wandering.

Even the first magical artifact had to be scraped together with frugality, and when injured, he couldn't bear to take medicine to heal, so he could only tough it out.

The Wandering Stream Sect only recruits adult cultivators, the kind who can start working right away. The Immortal Sect will recruit children in the future, but very young children will not be included.

So Mo Jiuwei thought, why not set up another organization to take in children under the age of ten who have no relatives or have been abandoned by their relatives? Because they are children we've watched grow up, at the very least, these children can work as laborers or shop assistants in Wangliu when they grow up.

Those with good talent can join the Immortal Sect at any time.

This requires a large sum of money and a lot of manpower. We may not be able to manage it right now, but we certainly will be able to in the future.

After Mo Jiuwei finished speaking, she saw Huo Tian staring at her, and she could see her own reflection in his pupils.

"Your Majesty, you are still the same as before, always possessing a benevolent heart."

Huo Tian sighed softly.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be who I am today.

"Don't worry, what you want to do is what Aqing wants to do," he said. "Moreover, this matter may be able to proceed sooner than you think."

He brought over a booklet and handed it to me.

Mo Jiuwei was initially puzzled about what it was, but she was completely stunned after opening it.

This is actually an account book! And a master ledger at that.

The general ledger records all of Wangliu's assets, such as which shops he owned, how much profit he made in a year, and how many people worked in each shop.

The well-known black market is actually only a small part of the vast market, ranging from large-scale mining operations to small-scale street vendors; the sheer variety is dazzling.

It can be said that Wangliu's business spans all 56 cities, including inns, restaurants, teahouses, and brothels, as well as several clandestine organizations.

For example, intelligence organizations, assassin organizations, etc.

These things greatly surprised Mo Jiuwei, because she felt that even if she were given a hundred years to do it, she could only achieve this much.

It's just that Huo Tian didn't start his own sect, otherwise even the Immortal Sect probably wouldn't be able to compare to it!

"That's amazing! Ah Qing, you're so capable!" Mo Jiuwei almost slapped her thigh in admiration.

My subordinates are really capable; they managed to handle such a huge mess all by themselves!

Tsk tsk, she's actually getting a little proud, what should we do?
"Thanks to the teachings of the Venerable One in his previous life, Ah Qing learned all of this from you."

Huo Tian's words were by no means a mere compliment.

Because Mo Jiuwei in her previous life was the same; she was not only the leader of a mercenary group, but also did many, many things.

What he had done was almost entirely a replication of her old path; he could only be considered a copycat, achieving only a semblance of similarity.
