The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 43 Peacock Feather, Reward, Rebellion!

After receiving the warning, Feng Xi became much more composed when facing Kong Xuan.

Instead of discussing anything unspeakable, the conversation shifted to the future work of the little peacock.

He hadn't forgotten the most important thing on his mind right now.

"As a reseller, how can you succeed without cultivating good relationships with the manufacturers at the source of the distribution channels?"

"And ideally, we should also bring Kong Xuan into our business organization..."

With her eyes darting around, Feng Xi's mind was racing with calculations.

He was eloquent and persuasive, using his quick wit and persuasive skills to convince Kong Xuan—no, to convince him—to sincerely invite him to participate in the newly established shell company.

"Kong Xuan!" Feng Xi said solemnly, "Since you feel that you have grown up, you should first consider solving problems on your own and not always ask your family and elders for help."

"Be a strong person in spirit who is constantly striving for self-improvement and always looking forward."

"However, these things cannot be accomplished simply by talking about them."

"We still need to prove it with actions."

"Prove it? How do you prove it?" Kong Xuan asked.

"For example... starting a business!" Feng Xi naturally steered the conversation, "You mentioned before that your uncles suggested you a job, such as managing Phoenix Perch Market."

"I know you have a powerful background. As the first in line to inherit the Phoenix lineage, you are destined to control enormous wealth in the future... You have already achieved such a position by just testing the waters."

"But are you satisfied with just managing the markets?"

"The wealth of the Phoenix lineage is both yours and not yours... because it is the wealth that your parents worked hard to build."

"Even if you're the best at management, what does that prove?"

"At best, he's a maintainer of the status quo, not a pioneer!" Feng Xi said.

Kong Xuan listened, seemingly lost in thought.

"If you truly want to prove your abilities, to prove that you can thrive on this stage of life, to live well in this vast world, and no longer have to rely solely on the protection of your elders... then you need to forge a completely new path outside the life trajectory arranged for you by your family!"

"This road, however rugged it may be, may not be as smooth and easy as a broad highway... but taking even the smallest step is a transformation and sublimation of your personal abilities!"

Kong Xuan was moved and swayed by Feng Xi's words, asking, "Then, what should I do? How do I start a business?"

"Can I really manage on my own?"

"Initially, the requirements don't need to be so high." Feng Xi had a mysterious smile on her face. "You can find partners and helpers, join a new group, experience the atmosphere of collective wisdom and effort, and familiarize yourself with the process first..."

"Hmm...like right now, there's a really good opportunity!"

Feng Xi's smile was radiant.

……

"I'm waiting for your good news."

Kong Xuan waved goodbye to Feng Xi with reluctance.

"Don't worry!"

Feng Xi confidently assured him, "The next time we meet, we'll both have undergone a complete transformation!"

After Kong Xuan's figure disappeared from Feng Xi's sight, he opened one hand that was clenched into a fist.

There was a feather in the palm of his hand.

—Peacock Feather!

This is a keepsake that Kong Xuan gave to Feng Xi.

With it, one can purchase valuable products from the Phoenix lineage at the lowest possible cost.

Many of these products are in short supply even within Fengqi Mountain, let alone being sold outside the area.

Are there no other functions besides these?

Of course it is impossible.

Although limited by Kong Xuan's own prestige, his feather could not play a significant role and could not truly participate in the Phoenix lineage's high-level decision-making or bring about change.

They don't even have the right to listen or understand.

However, it can be quite useful for those at the grassroots level.

For example, they knew some merchants who frequented Fengqi Market. When registering their information, they filled in their place of origin, the general goods they purchased in the market, and their final destination.

Avoid unnecessary price competition as much as possible, and make full use of the principle that scarcity drives up prices.

"Information is a resource too!" Feng Xi sighed. "These scattered pieces of information, when combined, can unleash astonishing power, multiplying profits several times over!"

"After it's done, I'll have to give Kong Xuan a big red envelope and a generous commission..."

"Thank you so much for the immense help he provided!"

He smiled and, using the peacock feather, feigned the peacock's power, wandered around the various markets.

Knock on the doors of these market managers, one hand holding feathers, the other holding gifts... with both hands working together, what can't you get?

The managers of the market were not exactly low-ranking, but they weren't particularly high-ranking either.

The Fengqi Mountain Range uses a combination of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to mark and arrange the land, naming it as a district.

The Jiazi District, the Yichou District, and so on, totaling sixty districts.

Each district has 129,600 markets and wards!

So, with millions of markets... unless one is a general manager overseeing a large region, an ordinary manager of a single market would really have little ability to resist the Peacock Feather.

Besides, what Feng Xi is asking for has little to do with the Feather Clan; it's about making money off outsiders... so let him be.

After walking around, the jade slips used to record information were filled with tens of thousands of entries.

Feng Xi had no patience to deal with these things—he had someone backing him up!

With hundreds of thousands of elite witches there, how could we not use them?

He sent the information on the jade slip and uploaded it directly to the public network, allowing the powerful figure skilled in planning situations and processing data to make arrangements.

These people exist within the Wu tribe, and there are many of them.

After all, this is a race that brings together the achievements of the human race's elite, and every individual is definitely above the average level of human ability!

Everyone has their own special talents, and some people have even made a name for themselves in history, leaving a lasting impression!

When the need arose, nearly ten thousand people instantly stepped forward and silently performed calculations.

Soon, a plan will be completed.

Inside, by summarizing the information, a few clues can be used to deduce a lot of inside stories, and from this, the market situation in various places can be deduced. The travel routes of the Wu tribe are of paramount importance.

These elites were very enthusiastic and excited, each offering their own opinion.

"With this information, we can do business more than once."

"Yes...we can snowball!"

"We buy a batch of goods, sell them clean at the next location, then buy more from the same place and sell them in the next location..." someone said. "Originally, we didn't know which goods would be more popular in the new place, and due to time and circumstances, we couldn't conduct on-site investigations... But?"

"These merchants who come here to transit and purchase goods have exposed all their information to us: the goods they sell to Phoenix Perch Mountain Range, the routes they take, the goods they buy before leaving!"

"Haha...a bright future is beckoning us!"

"When our team moves to a new place, it means our wealth will increase several times, even dozens of times!"

"Although top-tier resources often cannot be bought with low-level money, and are mostly exchanged for equally rare items... I am still satisfied with that."

"For a Golden Immortal to advance to the Taiyi realm, they need resources enough to fill an entire minor world to allow their life essence to advance and achieve a state equal to the universe... And now, hope is at hand, enabling them to quickly gather a significant portion of the resources needed for this stage!"

"This is a path of diplomacy, and also a path of wealth!"

……

Many people are overjoyed, feeling that they see a bright future ahead.

The same is true for Feng Xi.

He marveled at the fact that everyone has their own expertise, and the Wu tribe has never lacked elites who were able to expand profits to such an extreme degree.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to formalize the newly established alliance.

What constitutes "legitimate" or "formal"?

It is well-organized and orderly, with leaders, middle-level managers, and the most basic units at the bottom.

With tears in her eyes, Feng Xi ruthlessly cut off her share of the profits that hadn't yet come in.

The profits from these few cuts are a reward for the elites who are processing information right now... How can we not reward those who have worked so hard for the organization?

However, when distributing the prizes, Feng Xi played a trick, marking it as a reward he had personally funded, rather than a fair division as stated in the contract.

"Generosity in rewards is the key to winning people's hearts—this is the essence of gaining widespread support."

Countless examples throughout history demonstrate that leaders who are generous and willing to share the spoils with others are the ones who achieve success.

Some founding emperors, in terms of governance, were not as good as their ministers—who were outstanding figures recorded in history; in terms of military command, they were not as good as their generals—who were military sages with illustrious achievements and praised throughout the ages.

But why was it he who had the last laugh and sat on the throne?

There are many reasons, but being generous enough and giving generous and fair rewards must be a very important one.

Of course, being generous is fine, the key is to also let others know—

"This money is a reward I gave them!"

At this moment, even though Feng Xi is nominally equal to the other witches... this is the best way to win people's hearts and build a team.

"If one day I want to do something... I can use this team to create momentum, one person leading ten, ten leading a hundred, spreading like a contagion, perhaps even pulling in the entire lower echelons of the witch clan to join me..."

"Smack!" Feng Xi slapped her head hard, chuckled, and muttered to herself, "What was I thinking about?"

"If we really go through all this trouble, mobilizing the entire lower classes of the witch clan... wouldn't that turn into a rebellion?"

Faced with the external enemy—the demon race—there was no need for Feng Xi to do this. The Ancestral Witches took the lead and fought on the front lines.

Such actions only make sense when they are internal!

As for internal affairs... is there any other possibility besides overthrowing the rule of the Ancestral Witches?

Feng Xi is a law-abiding citizen of the Houtu tribe, how could he do such a disrespectful thing?

He wouldn't even dare to think about doing it!

You're too cowardly!

Unless, of course, some supreme giant has the audacity to do as he pleases!
