Building a sect from scratch.

Xin Yi nodded with a hint of lingering fear: "Yes, I heard that Elder Du almost perished because of me, but thanks to Sect Master Fang's rescue, he was out of danger..."

Wang Ergou patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! It's just a mere Misty Immortal Sect! We'll wipe it out sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Yi merely smiled and did not respond, clearly indicating that she did not quite believe it.

The Misty Immortal Sect is a top-tier sect that dominates its region, far surpassing the Taiyi Ziwei Sect, which the Taiyin Sect faced off against not long ago, in every aspect! To be honest, their strength is probably equivalent to ten Taiyi Ziwei Sects!

Even though the Taiyin Sect has the well-known Taiyin God behind it, as well as all sorts of strange and wonderful magical treasures and artifacts, it has only been established for less than a year and has not even been able to establish itself yet. How could it possibly compete with the Misty Immortal Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years?
But then again, logically speaking, the disciples of the Taiyin Sect were all Xinyi's "benefactors," so she didn't refute them.

Wang Ergou and Zhao Qing both realized that Xin Yi didn't believe them at all. They exchanged a quick glance and suppressed their urge to explain.

Having cooperated with the mysterious otherworldly "game party" for so long, everyone already knows exactly what the other party intends to do. Any sect or force that hears something suspicious is likely to be wiped out in the end, and the Misty Immortal Sect, being the biggest target, will definitely be the first to be destroyed.

However, these things were not for outsiders to know, and the three of them began to discuss other things harmoniously.

Zhao Qing asked, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Xinyi, where are you working now?"

“I originally wanted to go to the research institute, but then I felt that I should focus on improving my alchemy skills, so I didn’t apply. Before that… before that I was selling pills at the night market,” Xin Yi said, a little embarrassed. “But I did want to open a pill shop, but I hadn’t decided where to open it, so it’s been on hold ever since…”

Wang Ergou casually said, "That's great! What we need most every time is all kinds of pills! Why don't we open one in Chang'an?"

Xin Yi hesitated and said, "There are already quite a few alchemists in Chang'an City, so business isn't very good..."

"Then come to our Gugu Chicken!" Weiwo Wushi, who had somehow logged on and been eavesdropping, suddenly interjected, "Our Gugu Chicken City is going to Luocheng this time! And it's right in the Duguang Wilderness! I heard that it's spring-like there all year round, making it easy to cultivate all kinds of spiritual herbs and plants! You can develop your own brand! Set up a pharmaceutical factory and research elixirs! We can't let Chang'an Pharmaceutical take up all the market share, can we?"

Xin Yi didn't quite understand the various terms Wei Wo had used, and a look of doubt crossed her face: "Pharmaceutical...factory?"

Weiwowu explained, "It means you study some elixirs, then develop a formula that can be mass-produced, and then sell it! But usually, it's directly sold to wholesalers, who then retail it. This way, you don't have to do all the work yourself! Our Gugu Chicken farm does it this way; we sell chickens to wholesalers or restaurant owners with high demand, we don't retail to the public! This saves a lot of trouble!"

Xin Yi was astonished: "There's such a method?"

“Of course! It just so happens that after we, Gugu Chicken, settle down in the Duguang Plains, we plan to develop more agricultural parks. Originally, we planned to develop fruit orchards, but if you're planning to set up a pharmaceutical factory, we can also consider cooperating on a plantation for spiritual herbs and plants! The Duguang Plains is a fertile land with a spring-like climate all year round! It would be a waste not to develop some agriculture!” Zhao Qing listened with great interest and chimed in, “That’s definitely a good idea! After the public beta launches, the shortage of pills will be even greater. If we start now, we’ll definitely make a fortune!”

Xin Yi pondered, "Public beta test... I think I heard someone say that more disciples from your Taiyin Sect are coming?"

When talking about business, Gugu Chicken's eyes practically lit up with greed: "That's right! The first wave is 10,000 people! And I've heard that another 200,000 will be coming in later! Just think about it, 200,000 people! That's a huge market share and a huge gap! If we don't seize the opportunity to set up plantations and all sorts of factories, we're just throwing money away!"

Wang Ergou couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, hey, there are quite a few spiritual herb and plant plantations in Chang'an City! Shennong Factory alone has more than ten!"

When it came to business competition, Wei Wushi immediately became determined. She put her hands on her hips, glanced at Wang Ergou with disdain, and said confidently, "What you're doing is just small-scale! It's not even mechanized! It's not a modern planting model! I heard that Shensu Water's production is low because of a shortage of raw materials! If we were to set up a plantation in Tohironono... Hmph!"

"Oh, that's great! Our village is also facing a severe shortage of Divine Speed ​​Water! You should quickly set up a plantation, and then you can drive down the price of Divine Speed ​​Water. We'll be eternally grateful to your whole family!"

As he spoke, Wang Ergou couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "You sound like a con artist!"

The main reason was that Wang Ergou had long been worn down by various affairs and had lost his temper. He was never one to strive for success in his career. Although he had some of the command and leadership desires unique to men in H City... that was a completely different matter from building a career. The city of Chang'an was already dragging him down to the point that he wanted to retire and lie down eighty times a day, let alone anything else! He had no intention of competing with Weiwo Wushi. The so-called Chang'an Pharmaceutical, Chang'an Research Institute, and other institutions that were nominally affiliated with Chang'an were all tasks assigned by the organization and had nothing to do with him!
Wei Wo rolled her eyes: "Thank you! No thanks! From now on, when you people in Chang'an eat meat, we, the small towns like Gugu Chicken, can just get a sip of soup!"

"Absolutely! When have we in Chang'an ever eaten alone!"

“That’s true! Oh right,” Wei Wu suddenly remembered something more important, and his tone became much more ingratiating: “Well, Brother Gou, you see, our small town has few talented people, and we don’t have much experience in managing this city. You’re so generous, could you let us copy your homework?”

Wang Ergou suddenly realized—since Chang'an City successfully made a name for itself, many community leaders had privately sought his advice, and even the boss of Longshan had spent money to buy the "Chang'an City Entry Registration Management Regulations" and "Chang'an City Public Security Management and Punishment Law" system. So when he heard Wei Wo Wu Shi's words, he had a guess in his heart, but he still asked on the surface: "What homework?"

Unexpectedly, WeChat asked me for fifty, demanding an exorbitant price: "Will you sell the whole package?"

Wang Ergou clicked his tongue in amazement: "Good heavens! You actually dared to bring that up!"

Wei Wo, glaring at me with wide eyes, pressed on defiantly, "The bold get rich, the timid starve. Just tell me, are you selling or not?" (End of Chapter)
