Once power is in hand, orders are issued.

Feng Xi was arranged by Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, to become the supreme leader of the entire team, so naturally he had to exert his authority as a leader to the fullest extent.

When there's trouble, get your men to do it!

He can inspect the work after his subordinates have finished... Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Feng Xi, you're so outstanding, do you even realize it?"

Yu Chen took a deep breath, clenched one hand into a fist, and asked in a low voice.

This is already beyond furious.

The long sword at his waist hummed without wind, its mournful cry almost materializing into a sharp edge as it sliced ​​and slashed at Feng Xi's neck.

"Ahem!"

To avoid any tragic bloodshed, and to prevent Yu Chen from doing anything irrational in the heat of the moment, such as calling on the big boss behind the scenes and staging a brutal and unethical act of bullying the weak in this place far from the Wu Clan's Buzhou Mountain stronghold...

No way, but if he's left with only a breath... that's totally possible!

Feng Xi coughed twice, feeling that she should try to salvage the situation.

"Don't look at me like that—I'm just making the best use of what I have and what I'm capable of." He argued emphatically, "Interpreting the thoughts of the Three Pure Ones and the Great Daoist Masters... Could this kind of work be done without someone like you, with powerful connections and profound knowledge, and exceptional abilities?"

"I'm just making the most practical and correct arrangements, letting the right people do the right things." Feng Xi felt increasingly justified as she spoke, becoming more and more confident. "Yu Chen, you need to be aware of this!"

"Interpreting the thoughts of the Daoist master Da Luo and providing targeted translations—do you think this is for our own benefit?"

"Wrong! Utterly wrong!"

"This is for the sake of our comrades who will come later!" Feng Xi said with great distress. "We were just the first batch of diplomatic officials sent to Kunlun Mountain, mainly to open up the situation."

"If we fail, we should retreat."

"But if successful, the Wu Clan will naturally need to further strengthen its cooperative relationship with the landowners in the Kunlun Mountains, engaging in deeper interactions across various fields, and assigning talents from different sectors to these areas..."

"At that time, we might still be in this position, or we might be promoted to other places because of our merits... But what about the new comrades who come to take over the work?"

"Upon hearing the sermon, they were completely bewildered."

"We wanted to leverage the connections and diplomatic achievements we left behind to integrate with the Taoist disciples... but one by one, their coded language is inadequate, and they can't even use cultivation as a pretext to get things done... Isn't this terrible?"

"That's why!" Feng Xi said earnestly, "For the sake of the bigger picture, we need to ask those who are capable to take on more responsibilities... If I didn't have high hopes for your talent, how could I have entrusted you with such an important task?"

"This is a high affirmation of your abilities, Yu Chen, and also makes me feel ashamed of my own inadequacy!"

……

Because the work is important, it's assigned to the most capable person... It seems reasonable!

In just a few words, Feng Xi subtly shifted the meaning.

With great power comes great responsibility — cross that out.

With a few modifications, it becomes: With great power comes great responsibility!

There is a huge difference between the two.

Rights are granted by the person being responsible for them, originate from outside, and are commensurate with responsibilities.

Ability may originate from oneself and is a manifestation of personal wisdom and talent... but what does my ability have to do with you?

Having the ability to take initiative and make selfless contributions is a manifestation of noble character; not taking on responsibilities one is not obligated to take on, and others cannot find fault with that... If anyone does find fault, they are either stupid or malicious.

Of course, if you have the ability but get fooled and tricked, that's a different story.

That's exactly what Feng Xi is doing right now.

On the surface, they praised Yu Chen, highly praising and recognizing his talent, but in reality, they were using him as a laborer.

As for the effect?

It's quite good, I'd say.

Right now, Yu Chen is feeling a little smug... He's been praised so much that he's not completely lost, but he's become arrogant and confident.

"That's true."

Yu Chen's clenched fist had relaxed at some point, a smile spreading across his face. He tilted his head slightly, 'This kind of translation and proofreading work is clearly not something an amateur like Feng Xi could do.'

"Only a top talent like myself, with profound knowledge and far-reaching wisdom, can undertake such a great task that will be remembered for generations to come..."

"The spiritual satisfaction and accomplishment derived from such actions far surpasses that of Feng Xi, who only gets a voice because of his leadership position—is it not a thousand times, ten thousand times greater?"

Under Feng Xi's influence, Yu Chen's ideological level was greatly "elevated".

If one has high awareness, even leeks will love the sickle!

Feng Xi smiled as she looked at the energetic Yu Chen, then waved her sleeve and left without taking a single jade slip with her.

From now on, all the translation work will be Yu Chen's responsibility. What does it have to do with Feng Xi?

However, just as he was about to walk out the door, Yu Chen seemed to realize what was happening and struggled half of his body out of the pit that Feng Xi had dug.

Ultimately, they are not simple characters. Even when tricked, they instinctively sense that something is wrong and take countermeasures.

"We, the capable ones, are always busy translating, proofreading, and reading comprehension... And you? What are you doing?"

"I'm going to conduct on-site research," Feng Xi said righteously. "The diplomatic work that the Ancestral Witch has arranged for us is not just as simple as contacting the powerful beings in Kunlun Mountain."

"That only applies to the upper echelons."

"We also need to study those lower-level tribes to see if we can assimilate them ideologically and get them to stand on the same side as our Wu tribe..."

"Although these beings who are not even at the Great Luo level are insignificant in the face of the devastating calamity, and a single Great Luo could wipe them out in a bloodbath... we must still try our best to fight for even the weakest force." Feng Xi's expression was solemn. "And if I succeed, then I will replicate my success model, implement it in other regions, and spread it out completely... which should add a small but significant bargaining chip to the clan."

"Oh...I see. I understand." Yu Chen nodded. "Then be careful when you go out. The Kunlun Mountains are not as simple as they seem."

"Some ancient clans definitely have beings whose cultivation has reached the threshold of enlightenment, but they lack the determination to face death and live, which is why they haven't taken that step... But their strength should not be underestimated."

"Besides that, there are some other things to be aware of..." Yu Chen warned, "Many clans have intricate connections with some of the Great Luo Immortals in the Kunlun Mountains."

"Like the Golden Mother Yuanjun... This powerful woman has a certain preference for the celestial bird lineage, with the bluebird serving as her attendant and conveying her will."

"There are also enlightened mythical beasts guarding the Kunlun Pass."

"These individuals with special identities have their subordinates deeply rooted in the Kunlun Mountains, forming a complex and intertwined network of relationships."

"Don't mess things up, or the Ancestral Witch might have to come and take someone away... that would be awkward."

"You can rest assured about that." Feng Xi smiled, turned her back, and waved her hand. "How could I be so reckless?"

"On this trip, I will observe more, listen more, speak less, and do less, and there will be absolutely no problems."

With a leisurely tone, Feng Xi embarked on her journey to explore Kunlun.

……

Conducting on-site research in the Kunlun Mountains is something Feng Xi has wanted to do for a long time.

Back then, limited by his duties and his grand plan to make money, he could only wander around the market, trying to make every minute count, his mind solely focused on money.

The mountains, the rivers, and the diverse ethnic customs were all only briefly observed.

Even so, this cursory visit to the Kunlun Mountains still left a very clear imprint on his soul.

Kunlun is beautiful.

This entire primordial universe is second to none. Legend has it that it is the supreme immortal land transformed from Pangu's dantian when he created the world. Compared to Buzhou Mountain, it has a unique landscape.

Feng Xi, ostensibly conducting on-site research but actually engaging in public fund consumption, brazenly barged into this picturesque scene, genuinely experiencing and feeling its beauty.

"Tsk...this place is pretty nice, isn't it?"

Feng Xi held a small notebook and occasionally wrote down what she was writing in it.

"The ethnic groups living in the Kunlun Mountains generally have high aspirations... I inexplicably feel a sense of pride?"

"Hmm, what's the reason behind this?"

As he wandered through the streets and alleys, visiting one ethnic group after another, his mouth never stopped talking about the delicious food, and his pen never stopped writing.

He managed to balance eating and drinking while working, so in a sense, he didn't completely deceive Yu Chen.

Of course, the most fundamental difference is that one is working for others, and in the end, one only gets a small portion of the results, while the vast majority is contributed to others.

One option is to work for oneself. If one does a good job and satisfies the Ancestral Witch, the Witch will wave her hand and designate this place as a pilot site to spread and replicate the model. At that time, as the leader, how could one not rise to the top in one step?

This is the fundamental difference between the two.

……

"Regional pride?"

Feng Xi scribbled and drew, his bright eyes occasionally flashing with moments of sudden realization and enlightenment.

"A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there; water is not sacred for its depth, but for the dragons that inhabit it."

"Kunlun is indeed a pure land of immortals and gods, giving the races living there something to be proud of... but the most important reason is the existence of that gate."

"The Taoist cause, spearheaded by the Three Pure Ones, established this place as its ancestral home... One after another, like-minded Great Luo Immortals came from all corners of the world and settled here."

"This truly gave Kunlun Mountain its power to resound throughout the primordial world and stand out from countless supreme immortal realms!"

Feng Xi saw it clearly and thoroughly.

How many beings, yearning for the Great Dao, flocked to Kunlun Mountain from the outside world?

The teaching staff at Kunlun Mountain is enormous!

Although there are implicit barriers to entry, Da Luo will not easily accept disciples.

But if anyone manages to overcome this hurdle, it's like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate!

It inspired countless creatures to travel great distances to this place, all in pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.

"Therefore, there is no doubt that the tourism service industry in the Kunlun Mountains is top-notch, making money from outsiders."

Feng Xi held a skewer of "Dragon Meat Skewers" in her hand, praising it as she ate, "For the same reason, delicacies from all over the country are naturally indispensable..."

"This dragon meat...it smells so good!"

"Waiter, bring me two more skewers of dragon meat!" he shouted.

"Alright!" The rat-like waiter immediately agreed.

Soon, two more skewers of spicy dragon meat were served.

Feng Xi stopped the waiter who was about to leave, took out a spiritual herb to bribe him, and successfully got the rat spirit to open up and tell him everything.

"Sir, do you think our dragon meat is authentic? Or is it counterfeit?"

"Hey... how could we dare? If we deceive some powerful figure, they'd wipe us all out with a single slap!"

"Oh, do you think the dragons will hold a grudge against us and hate us?"

"Oh dear, oh dear... Look at what you're saying."

"Do you know where this stuff came from? It was supplied by the Dragon Clan."

"A few pieces of meat are nothing... As long as you cultivate to the point of flesh and blood regeneration, cutting off a few pieces of flesh will immediately make them grow back—you can do this without even becoming an immortal!"

"Of course... Dragon meat is only available up to the Golden Immortal level—because that's all the dragons sell for."

"There is no dragon meat in Taiyi."

"Depending on the grade of the dragon meat, there are many ways to cook it... such as rare, medium-rare, medium-well... depending on the customer's taste."

"What? You ask why this is happening, sir?" the rat spirit continued, tsk... isn't this all because of the lack of cultivation resources?

"Experts at the Taiyi realm don't need this money, but Golden Immortals, True Immortals, and even weaker dragons do!"

"The dragon race has spread throughout the world. With so many members, the demand has also increased... Most of the time, the younger dragons sell their flesh to make money, and the older dragons turn a blind eye."

"Dragons need to eat too!"

"After all, it's not the ancient era of legends, the age when dragons and phoenixes dominated the universe... You must understand, guest."

"You asked if dragon meat sells well? Well..." The rat-spirit waiter hesitated, then hesitated again, "That involves the secrets of our shop..."

Feng Xi glanced at him, then displayed another spiritual herb.

The rat spirit immediately burst into laughter, revealing its large teeth.

It deftly stuffed the elixirs into its pocket, selling everything it could.

"It sells well! Of course it sells well!"

"Make money! Make a fortune!"

"The dragons are making a fortune too!"

"Just because the dragon race once dominated half of the primordial world, makes dragon meat at least ten times more expensive than other meats of the same grade!"

"Ten times!"

"That's the premium that comes with a brand!"

"With such high profits, those little dragons can afford to sell off their flesh so aggressively... After all, the resources gained from selling just one piece of flesh can immediately replenish their depleted energy, and they can even make a profit of seven or eight parts!"

"These profits are outrageous!"

The rat spirit clicked its tongue in envy.

If he could, he'd like to sell meat too!

Unfortunately, no one wanted to buy it.

Even if he were to acquire it, it would be a losing proposition for him.

The resources gained through trade are not even worth the vital energy lost by cutting off flesh and blood.

"Only the dragon race could pull off such a lucrative business," the rat spirit remarked. "It's partly due to the brand's prestige, and partly due to the backing of military force."

"Although the dragon race has declined, there are still many experts... This fist guarantees that our clansmen will not be subjected to malicious mass breeding and slaughter."

"In fact, the only places that can and dare to take on this business are in the Kunlun area."
