If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 281 You have to spend money, you have to spend money, you have to spend money!
The square-faced general at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, exuding a murderous aura, held a crescent-shaped sword in his hand and sneered at the young man in front of him.

"You are the ancient cultivator who attacked my Dayu Expeditionary Force in recent days!"

The young man in the Jindan stage, who was sitting on the treetop drinking tea, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Yes, so what?"

"Hmph—you bold thief! I'm going to capture you today!"

The general at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage opened his eyes wide with anger, brandished the crescent-shaped sword in his hand, soared into the air, and stabbed the young man's neck with one blow.

The young man smiled calmly and pointed, "You are already dead."

There was no sign of any fluctuation of spiritual energy, but the general at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage glared, his spiritual energy surged, and he fell on the spot. He raised his trembling hand and pointed at the young man. After hesitating for a long time, his head tilted and he was no longer breathing.

The young man continued drinking his tea as if he had done something boring, and said calmly, "From today on, you are also a member of my ancient army."

The dead general's limbs trembled, and he stood up staggeringly, kneeling on one knee, his eyes empty and lifeless.

"Yes--"

The monks watching around applauded.

Li Yanmo, who was drinking tea, twitched his lips slightly. "Everyone, do we really need to do this every time?"

The general, with a dull look in his eyes and looking like a zombie, suddenly stood up and said, "Master Li, a sense of ceremony is very important!"

Leng Ningshuang on the side also shouted, "Exactly, haven't the steps been reduced to you killing the opponent instantly?"

Li Yanmo rolled his eyes.

During this period, he [instantly killed] many Dayu monks, and all the Dayu monks who were [instantly killed] were transformed into ancient monks. These transformed ancient monks took advantage of their positions to sneak into the Dayu barracks quietly and transformed more Dayu monks into ancient monks.

There were some diligent ones who performed a show of brotherly love on the spot and then had a fight.

There are also lazy ones.

[You have been assimilated by me into an ancient monk]

Oh, okay, I'll go and assimilate others.

It was not Li Yanmo's idea that the Dayu monks were assimilated into ancient monks. It was a drama arranged by these Dayu monks themselves.

This was also approved by the generals at the level of God Transformation, and another scene was added.

The God Transformation-level general keenly discovered that his men had been assimilated and tracked them secretly, but he didn't know that this was a trick by the person behind the scenes to lure the enemy into the depths. Finally, after a series of battles, he met Li Yanmo, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Just when he was about to fight to the death, he was killed instantly.

This script was agreed upon by many people, but there was considerable controversy over who would be the person to be killed instantly. The six people in the God Transformation Stage who came to help all wanted to be the one to be killed instantly.

Anyone who is sent out to do important things doesn't think his face is useful.

After embarrassing yourself, you can pretend to be an ancient monk and move around freely. Isn't that more interesting than staying in a tent and staring blankly?
But only one can get out, so now those godsend cultivators are still fighting.

Li Yanmo felt that killing a Jindan cultivator in seconds was a bit too much. Spirit stones had been overflowing during this period. Although it still could not threaten the astronomical debt of Taixu Sect, it was not a big deal. If he could kill a Jindan cultivator in seconds, his prestige would definitely be high.

But the ancient cultivators have expanded to this extent, and he can no longer stop them, so Li Yanmo hopes that these people can fight for a longer time.

However, despite fighting, these Dayu monks did not forget their main business. Some created momentum, some spread rumors, and some investigated intelligence. The division of labor was quite clear. Leng Ningshuang was responsible for putting pressure on Chu Lan, so Li Yanmo did not need to worry about it.

So Li Yanmo's mind turned to something else, which was the cost of these [Ancient Monks] in front of him.

These generals are working for him now, so Li Yanmo can't let these soldiers who are sacrificing their lives and blood for the people work in vain.

It costs money.

He killed all these generals instantly, instantly! How serious must this injury be? This is a work-related injury.

It costs money.

These generals have been branded with the stigma of being killed instantly by someone of a higher rank, and their reputations have been damaged. We can't just turn a blind eye to this.

It costs money.

These generals...playing the role of the ancient monks they hate the most, how much trauma must this cause to their spirits?
Li Yanmo, who was writing in the account book, paused, turned his head to look at the laughing Dayu generals outside the window, squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes, and wrote down a heavy amount of mental damages with a heavy heart.

Look at these generals of Dayu, they are all dumbfounded. It is unreasonable not to pay compensation for mental damage.

In addition, it delayed work time and occupied Dayu public resources, etc.

Li Yanmo wrote a long and eloquent article, but felt there was still room for improvement, so he asked Leng Ningshuang for her opinion. "What do you think the fine should be for damaging Dayu's military prestige and spreading rumors about the revival of ancient cultivators?"

Leng Ningshuang's expression gradually became subtle when she heard this. "Brother Li, are you trying to force the Minister of Revenue to hang himself?"

"What are you talking about? I'm just doing my job, helping the Minister of Revenue solve his problems. If all merchants in the world were honest and didn't evade taxes, why would we need tax officials?"

Li Yanmo's words were so righteous and confident that Leng Ningshuang was speechless and could only change the subject. "Then don't you think about what's happening with Haoqi Sect and those other first-rate sects? I don't know where they got the news that Yuanluo Sect is going to cooperate with Tianxu Tower. Judging from their behavior, I'm afraid they're planning to join forces to trick Yuanluo Sect."

"Your disciple has spent a lot of spirit stones on Yuanluo Sect. It seems he intends to use the power of this local tyrant, Yuanluo Sect, as an intermediary merchant group to build the Tianxu Tower in Zhuozhou. In the end, he will use Dayu's expedition to Zhuozhou to take away the tower and the resources invested by Yuanluo Sect."

"But the premise of this plan is to give Yuanluo Sect enough time to operate that intermediary group and store resources."

"Haoqi Sect and other first-rate sects are clearly planning to turn the tables on Yuanluo Sect. Even if Dayu knew that Yuanluo Sect was still useful, he would have no choice but to send troops. Your disciple's original plan would probably fail, and it would be difficult to recoup the investment."

"...It makes me sad to hear that. It's okay. I'll tell the second brother not to worry about that little bit of money." Li Yanmo's mouth corners suddenly raised upwards, but he quickly suppressed them.

Good things are good things, but how can a master laugh when his apprentice’s business goes bankrupt?

Li Yanmo has always kept his public and private affairs separate.

Not only did he engage in purchasing on behalf of others in Zhuozhou, but he also wanted to get Tianxu Tower and the entire Zhuozhou purchasing business for free. However, Shen Ziqing succeeded in building caves in every state in the world, and the astronomical debts it brought him were a great achievement!
His second apprentice is a talented person and is still young, so it is normal for him to make some small mistakes.

……

Qianzhou, Tianxu Tower.

Shen Ziqing was drinking tea leisurely with Feng Shouyun.

"Mr. Shen, I never thought that you would take the initiative to abandon your own plan. I admire your courage," Feng Shouyun said with emotion as he put down the cup.

Shen Ziqing shook the cup in his hand. "My master always said that we should have a long-term vision. It's a pity to have a Tianxu Tower and a Zhongzhou purchasing agent. But if we can make those first-class sects suspicious of each other and make the Taoist sect feel guilty, then we can get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost."

"After I've made up my mind, the resistance to registering with the sect will probably be much less."
