I run a casino in the immortal realm.

In the first month of the publication of the "Heavenly Demon Daily," the entire southern part of the Southern Wilderness was in an uproar.

The news department's two thousand reporters and editors are scattered across various cities.

Every day before nightfall, the latest intelligence and interesting stories from all over the world are gathered in the editorial office of Tianmo City.

After typesetting and printing, two hundred million copies of the newspaper would appear on the monks' tables early the next morning.

Zheng Yifei stood in front of the huge sand table of the Southern Wilderness in the editorial office, holding a wooden stick in his hand, drawing crisscrossing red lines on the sand table.

The green snake and the white deer stood behind him, each holding a thick ledger in their hands.

"The newspaper's distribution channels have been fully established."

Zheng Yifei threw away the wooden stick and turned to look at the two protectors: "But this is only the first step. Every day, thousands of flying boats carrying newspapers return empty, which is a huge waste of transport capacity."

Green Snake opened the ledger: "Minister Zheng, empty loads do indeed waste spirit stones, but we can't just bring back stones."

"Delivering goods".

Zheng Yifei walked to the head seat and sat down, tapping his fingers on the table: "Relying on the newspaper's distribution network, establish the Tianmo Logistics Department."

He took out a drawing that he had already prepared and pushed it over.

"The Southern Wilderness is vast, and the Heavenly Demon City is rich in Black Spirit Wood, but it is extremely lacking in Fire Spirit Crystals from the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains. If a rogue cultivator on the border wants to buy a flying sword made in the Heavenly Demon City, he has to travel ten thousand miles and risk being intercepted and killed by bandits."

Zheng Yifei said calmly, "We have existing airship routes and absolute military deterrence. The independent cultivators place their orders at the local news branch, pay the shipping fee, and we're responsible for delivering the goods to them. That's called express delivery."

Bai Lu's eyes lit up: "What about the valuables?"

"An additional insurance fee will be charged."

Zheng Yifei interlaced his fingers: "The Heavenly Demon Sect will fully compensate for the lost goods. With the titles of three vice sect leaders in charge, no one dares to rob the logistics department's flying boat."

In addition, we offer a cash-on-delivery service, where buyers pay in spirit stones after inspecting the goods, and we take a 10% commission.

A detailed business plan was delivered to Yu Luo Sha's desk an hour later.

Tianmo Logistics Department was officially established.

In just half a month, the Heavenly Demon Sect's economy was completely revitalized.

Large quantities of local specialties flowed into Tianmo City, while magical treasures and elixirs from within the city were dumped on the border.

The logistics department handles an alarmingly high number of spirit stones every day.

Not only did the higher-ups make a fortune, but countless outer disciples at the lower levels who were responsible for escorting the goods also received generous commissions.

The attitude of the entire Heavenly Demon Sect toward this "Minister Zheng" has undergone a complete transformation.

His strength is respected in the demonic path, and the God of Wealth who can make everyone a fortune is even enshrined on a pedestal.

The main hall of the Heavenly Demon Peak.

The three vice sect leaders sat in high positions, while Zheng Yifei stood in the hall, looking calm and composed.

Yu Luosha looked at the financial statement in her hand, which was still smelling of ink, and her beautiful face was full of smiles.

She had been in charge of the Heavenly Demon Sect's finances for hundreds of years and had never seen spirit stones accumulate at such a terrifying speed.

"Yifei, your brain is truly born for my demonic path."

Yu Luosha put down the report, his gaze sweeping over the table: "In just four months, the Heavenly Demon Sect's treasury has earned as much as it has in the past ten years. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded. I have recently taken in a pair of fox demon sisters, whose beauty is unparalleled and who are proficient in the art of dual cultivation. They will be delivered to your residence tonight."

Zheng Yifei's eye twitched.

The bewitching women of the cultivation world devour people without spitting out the bones. What he needs now is to improve his cultivation to save his life, not to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh.

"Thank you for your kindness, Vice Sect Master."

Zheng Yifei cupped his hands, his tone resolute: "This junior is dull-witted and has low cultivation. I am afraid I am not fortunate enough to enjoy such beauty. If the Vice Sect Master truly wishes to bestow a reward, this junior would like to request some tangible resources that can improve my cultivation."

Yu Luosha covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her clear laughter echoing throughout the hall.

"Ambitious, yet rational."

Yu Luosha nodded: "Since you don't want women, I will make an exception."

There is a marrow-cleansing pool on the back mountain of the main peak, which is an important place of the sect. You can soak in it for three days.

This pool of water can cleanse the marrow and reshape the bones, making it especially useful for a useless person like you with only five spiritual roots. After soaking in it, your speed of absorbing spiritual energy will increase by at least 30%.

Zheng Yifei was overjoyed. What he lacked most was talent.

Ye Tianqiong leaned back in his wide chair, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, flicked it with his finger, and the bottle landed steadily on the long table in front of Zheng Yifei.

"Those old guys from the Xuantian Sect have their eyes on you."

Ye Tianqiong's voice was deep: "Although I can protect you, it is only within the Heavenly Demon Sect. You have to be strong yourself to succeed. This is a bottle of Earth Spirit Essence. It takes a hundred years for a spiritual vein to produce a single drop. Absorbing all of it is equivalent to ten years of your hard work."

"This is the only bottle of this stuff I have."

Zheng Yifei grasped the jade bottle tightly in his hand, feeling the astonishing spiritual energy emanating from it, and clasped his hands in a deep fist salute: "Thank you, Vice Sect Master Ye!"

Li Hun sat on the far left, keeping his eyes closed and resting.

At that moment, he opened his eyes, turned his withered hand over, and a jade pendant radiating a warm white light appeared out of thin air.

The jade pendant flew to Zheng Yifei's chest and automatically hung around his neck.

A cool sensation rushed to the top of Zheng Yifei's head, and he felt his mind become incredibly clear in an instant, sweeping away the fatigue from working hard in the news department for days.

"Soul-Condensing Warm Jade".

The vengeful spirit's voice was hoarse: "Wearing it for a long time can refine your soul. When you break through to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages in the future, this jade can help you resist the invasion of inner demons. There is only one in the Southern Wilderness Region, so don't lose it."

Cleansing Pool, Earth's Spiritual Marrow, Soul-Condensing Warm Jade.

Any one of these three items would be enough to cause a bloodbath among the cultivators outside. The Heavenly Demon Sect has spared no expense to keep him, their cash cow.

Zheng Yifei did not refuse and accepted everything. In the demonic path, refusing was hypocrisy, and doing more work after receiving benefits was the rule of survival.

"This junior will now go into seclusion."

Zheng Yifei turned around and strode out of the main hall.

Behind the main peak, a forbidden area.

Two Nascent Soul stage elders verified Jade Rakshasa's warrant and opened the heavy stone door.

An extremely rich medicinal aroma mixed with scorching hot steam wafted towards us.

Zheng Yifei entered the stone chamber. In the center was a pool about ten feet square.

The pool water was an eerie crimson red, with bubbles churning on its surface. The bottom of the pool was connected to the fire vein of the Heavenly Demon Main Peak, and hundreds of rare spiritual herbs had melted in the water.

He took off his clothes and jumped directly into the pool.

excruciating pain.

The crimson pool water seeped into my body through my pores.

The medicine was extremely potent, directly impacting his meridians and bones.

The impurities brought by the five spiritual roots were forcibly stripped away, turning into black grime that surfaced on the body.

Zheng Yifei gritted his teeth and didn't let out a groan. He circulated his internal energy to guide the medicinal power throughout his body.

An hour later, the pain gradually lessened, replaced by a feeling of lightness and rejuvenation. He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was flowing into his body several times faster than before. His meridians widened, and his bones became crystal clear.

The initial results of the treatment, including cleansing the hair and marrow, are promising.

Zheng Yifei didn't stop and uncorked the mutton-fat jade bottle.

A surge of extremely pure spiritual energy shot into the sky. The bottle contained only three drops of milky-white liquid, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

Without hesitation, he poured all three drops of Earth Essence into his mouth.

boom!

The spiritual essence entered his abdomen and immediately exploded.

A massive torrent of spiritual energy surged wildly within his dantian. For an ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, this energy would be enough to burst their dantian.

However, Zheng Yifei had just undergone the strengthening process of the Marrow Cleansing Pool, making his meridians extremely resilient. The Soul-Condensing Warm Jade on his chest emitted a soft white light, protecting his heart and sea of ​​consciousness, allowing him to maintain absolute clarity under this violent impact.

"Break it!"

Zheng Yifei roared inwardly as he guided this massive spiritual power, repeatedly challenging the bottleneck of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

A small vortex formed within the sealed chamber, causing the pool water to churn violently.

On the first day, his aura rose to the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The next day, the spiritual energy droplets in his dantian began to multiply, and their color became even deeper.

On the morning of the third day.

With a muffled roar emanating from within his body, the bottleneck that had been hindering him for so long shattered.

Late foundation building!

Zheng Yifei opened his eyes. Two beams of light flashed in the dim stone chamber. He clenched his fists, feeling the power within him multiply.

Three days is equivalent to ten years of arduous practice.

He stood up from the marrow cleansing pool and changed into a clean set of black, close-fitting clothes. Pushing open the stone door, fresh air rushed into his lungs.

The green snake and the white deer stood guard outside the door, sensing the spiritual pressure emanating from Zheng Yifei, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"Congratulations, Minister Zheng, on your great progress in your studies."

The green snake lowered its head slightly.

Zheng Yifei nodded and strode down the mountain: "Back to the news department, the logistics department's accounts need to be checked."
