I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

"Trade three sets of martial arts techniques for a mountain?"

No one laughed in the meeting room.

Because this condition sounds absurd, but it's actually quite clever.

What do ordinary people want most right now?

Cultivation method.

And that sect that had just returned to the realm happened to have it.

Director Zhou retrieved the data.

The sect is called Qingya Sect.

The population that returned to the border was over 1,600.

It is not as large as the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, but it is very well preserved.

The three sets of techniques they were willing to offer were not just something to fool people.

The Qingyuan Breathing Method.

The Twelve Paths to Open the Meridians.

"The Treatise on Nourishing the Body and Guiding Qi"

Based on the fragments brought back by the drone and seven preliminary tests, they all belong to the basic cultivation methods that can be practiced.

And the place they wanted—

Qingya Mountain.

It is now part of a national-level tourist attraction.

There are two towns at the foot of the mountain.

Nineteen villages.

The permanent population is 120,000.

There are also hotels, shopping streets, cable cars, highways, and a large number of private properties.

Lin Ye looked at the map.

"This can't be replaced at all."

"Of course not."

"Director Zhou said."

The problem is that the other party thinks it's reasonable.

Xie Hongyi sat on the other side.

"That would have been reasonable in the past."

Everyone looked at her.

"The inheritance of a sect cannot be measured by ordinary gold and silver."

Xie Hongyi pointed to the three sets of martial arts techniques.

"If it is truly a complete method that can enable ordinary people to stably cultivate Qi, exchanging it for an ordinary mountain is not an exorbitant demand."

Lin Ye understood.

In the value system of ancient cultivation.

The practice is expensive.

Mountains aren't actually that expensive.

But in modern times, it's exactly the opposite.

You want a barren mountain.

We can still talk.

You need a well-established tourist area with a population of 120,000.

This is not a price issue.

It is absolutely not something that can be exchanged.

Lu Zhixia flipped through the documents and suddenly asked:

Why do they insist on Qingya Mountain?

"Ancestral Temple".

Director Zhou retrieved the restored map of the ancient map before the boundary was returned to its original state.

Qingyamen was indeed located in that area 2,600 years ago.

Later, the spiritual energy declined, and the main sect moved into the grotto-heaven.

The ancestral temple remains outside the public eye.

after that.

History has ended.

When the people from Qingya Sect returned, they discovered that their ancestral temple was still there.

The mountain is also called Qingya Mountain.

The only difference is that there are now cable cars, visitor centers, and glass walkways on the mountain.

They feel:

Is there a problem with returning my ancestral land to me?

From a modern perspective:

You haven't been back for over two thousand years, and hundreds of thousands of people live here. You think you can just take it away with the name of ancestral temple?

Both sides felt they were on the right side.

That's the real problem.

Director Zhou looked at Xie Hongyi.

Do you think they'll back out?

"Look at the sect leader."

"If you're a conservative, it's very difficult."

"What about the cultivation method?"

"The fact that they dared to bring it up means they're prepared to talk."

Xie Hongyi paused for a moment.

"People who really don't want to talk won't make an offer first."

This statement caused several people in the conference room to look up simultaneously.

Lin Ye also realized what was happening.

Correct.

This is the quote.

Once a price is quoted, it can be negotiated.

Director Zhou immediately contacted Qingyamen.

Ten minutes later.

The video call was connected.

The man in the picture is a white-robed man who looks to be in his forties.

Elder Chu Wenshan, of the Qingya Gate.

Behind him was the mountain gate after the return to the realm.

Lin Ye recognized it at first glance.

This person is different from Yan Shouzhen.

Yan Shouzhen is an old-fashioned manager.

Chu Wenshan was clearly better at negotiating.

His very first sentence was very direct.

"The cultivation method can be verified beforehand."

"Talking behind the mountain."

Director Zhou didn't beat around the bush.

"Qingya Mountain cannot be given."

Chu Wenshan remained expressionless.

"Then there's no need to discuss it."

"But we can give you a new site."

Chu Wenshan finally frowned.

"It's not the ancestral temple."

"The ancestral temple now has 120,000 people."

"Those were the later arrivals."

"Those are people who are still alive now."

The two sides collided for the first time.

Chu Wenshan remained silent for a few seconds.

"Our sect does not drive people away."

"Simply acknowledge that Qingya Mountain belongs to the Qingya Sect."

Director Zhou shook his head.

"Property rights, administration, public safety, taxation, and scenic area management—none of these can be resolved simply by saying that it belongs to you."

Chu Wenshan clearly didn't understand the following words.

I roughly understood.

"You are unwilling to repay."

"It's not about whether you pay it back or not."

Lin Ye suddenly spoke.

Chu Wenshan looked at him.

"Who are you?"

"Seven places, forests and fields."

"What are you trying to say?"

Lin Ye sent the two pictures over.

One of them is a reconstruction of Qingya Mountain from 2,600 years ago.

The other one is now.

On an old map.

There are only a few villages at the foot of the mountain.

On modern maps.

Roads, schools, hospitals, hotels, and residential areas are densely packed together.

"The ancestral temple in your memories is still there."

Forest road.

"But that's not the mountain you left on anymore."

Chu Wenshan stared at the two pictures for a long time.

"The mountains remain unchanged."

People have changed.

"Then we absolutely cannot erase the people of today."

Chu Wenshan did not immediately refute.

This is the most troublesome part of negotiations.

Neither side is crazy.

That's why they really fight.

At last.

Director Zhou provided a temporary solution.

The Qingyashan Ancestral Temple Site can be jointly identified and protected.

Qingya Gate can send personnel.

Areas involving religious sites and historical relics can be designated as special cultural and spiritual protection zones.

However, the modern administrative power and property rights of the residents of the entire mountain cannot be handed over to the sect.

As for the ancestral site.

The authorities could offer more suitable land for cultivation in the newly returned territory for long-term use.

Chu Wenshan only replied with one sentence:

"The conditions are not met."

The video then ended.

They didn't fall out.

The deal fell through.

But it took less than twenty minutes.

Things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

A staff member rushed into the conference room.

"The Qingya Sect has released its first cultivation technique!"

Everyone turned their heads at the same time.

Short video platform.

An account that was registered less than half an hour ago.

【Qingya Gate】

The certification process isn't even finished yet.

However, they have already released an eight-yard-long video.

In the picture.

Chu Wenshan personally sat in front of the mountain gate.

There are no courses for sale.

There was no charge.

The first level of the "Qingyuan Breathing Method" is revealed directly.

Only the most basic breathing and breath awareness.

But it's true.

Wanling only said one sentence after hearing this.

"You can practice."

The number of viewers exceeded ten million within tens of minutes.

The comment section exploded.

"Really free?"

"My palms got warm from practicing!"

Does the Qingya Sect accept disciples?

"I support returning the ancestral temple to them!"

"Someone is teaching cultivation for free, and you won't even let them go home?"

Public opinion immediately shifted.

Lin Ye stared at the screen.

"This guy knows how to have fun."

Director Zhou's face also darkened.

Qingyamen didn't continue to sit at the negotiating table.

They cut off a small piece of their most valuable chip.

Throw it to all ordinary people.

No charge.

Don't ask for help.

Tell everyone only:

We are willing to teach you how to cultivate.

As for whether the ancestral temple should be returned.

Think about it yourselves.

This move is ten times more difficult to handle than simply grabbing a sword.

Xie Hongyi stared at Chu Wenshan in the video.

"If he had been born in our time..."

"At least I can serve as the head of an external affairs peak."

Lin Ye shook his head.

"Put it in the present moment."

"He's better suited to be a public relations director."

No one laughed.

The number of supporters under the video is still skyrocketing.

Half an hour later.

Someone has already started a discussion:

[The cultivation methods have been made public, so why can't an ancestral temple be returned?]

The popularity is soaring.

While everyone was focused on public opinion.

Another report was received internally by the Seventh Division.

来源:

National Psionic Research Center.

The title is only one line long.

The "Qingyuan Breathing Method" demonstrates a quantifiable correlation between breathing frequency and spiritual energy absorption.

The report is signed first.

Ji Nanxing.

She wrote a final sentence.

Don't rush to ban it.

[First, we need to figure it out.]
