"Third, if you want me to be the president of this pharmacist branch, then you have to be the chief vice president." Meng Zhou said.

"Ah?" Gu Ruiming, who was ready to accept a harsh condition, opened his eyes in surprise when he heard this.

"I think since you have invited me several times, you should know me well," Meng Zhou said.

Gu Ruiming nodded lightly. Not only did they understand it relatively well, they had gone through all the information they could learn.

However, "Ge Yaoshi" is too low-key, and not much information has been made public.

"Then you should understand that for me, Taoist cultivation is the first priority.

Nothing else can hinder my practice.

In my free time, I can be distracted and focus on other matters, but I will never spend too much time on matters such as managing a pharmacist branch."

Hearing this, Gu Ruiming nodded silently.

"So, if I am asked to serve as the president of the pharmacist branch.

What I can promise is that I will continue to pay attention to the development of the pharmacist branch and give my suggestions in some general directions.

But I didn't even bother to ask how to implement these suggestions, how to manage a branch, how to take care of daily affairs, etc.

I hope you can take care of these things."

"this……"

Gu Ruiming felt strange.

True to what "Ge Yaoshi" said, what's the difference between being the president of this pharmacist branch and being the president yourself?

In name, he is the chief vice-president, but in fact he does everything the president should do.

——Well, the difference is quite big.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ruiming nodded decisively and said, "Okay, I can agree to this."

Now, there are only two third-level pharmacists in the Pharmacist Branch, and one of them has an alchemist as his main profession. Although he has a name in the Pharmacist Branch, the place where he actually performs his duties is the Alchemist Branch.

Therefore, after he upgrades to a third-level pharmacist, if he wants, he can sit on the throne of the president of the pharmacist branch without hesitation.

After agreeing to these three conditions, Gu Ruiming saw "Ge Yaoshi" and said nothing, and simply asked:

"Do you have any other conditions, sir?"

Meng Zhou shook his head and said:

"That's all for now. Please implement these three requirements first."

"Yes, President, then I will go back to Cuiyu Lake to implement your order."

Gu Ruiming immediately hit the snake with a stick and immediately changed his name to the president.

Meng Zhou looked at him in surprise.

"Do you need to work so hard?

You have just broken through the core formation, and your first priority now is to stabilize your cultivation. Can't you arrange for others to do this?"

Gu Ruiming said awkwardly:

"Not to mention other things, moving the headquarters from Cuiyu Lake to Sanchuanyuan requires not only internal work, but also coordination and communication with other professionals in the association.

Except for me, everyone else is somewhat inadequate."

Meng Zhou Zhou waved his hands in disgust and said:

"Okay, you should go back to retreat, I will handle this matter."

"You will handle it?" Gu Ruiming looked surprised when he heard this, as if asking, how will you handle it?

"I have a good relationship with Song Yang, so I asked him to coordinate this matter."

Having said this, Meng Zhou looked at Gu Ruiming, who was a little stunned, and said: "His weight in speaking in the association should be easier than yours, right?"

Gu Ruiming nodded quickly and said, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Song helped coordinate this matter, and it's easier than me."

Then, he saluted with a beaming face and said, "Thank you, President, for your consideration."

"go Go."

…

Just when Meng Zhou finished his conversation with Gu Ruiming and was about to return.

Bing Xin Xue Lian's clone received a subpoena from the "Little Four" of the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone appeared in the Changle Hall of Changle Village.

The "Little Four" who was waiting here immediately stood up and greeted: "Brother."

This "Little Four" is actually the former "Little Five", just because his cultivation has broken through from the peak of foundation building to the fake elixir level.

Meng Zhou had promised him before that once he breaks through in cultivation and becomes a fake elixir, he will be his "fourth brother".

It has been about a year and a half since his breakthrough in cultivation, so the original plan has naturally been fulfilled long ago.

There is another "Little Five" now, a "new brother" who joined the association just last year.

Moreover, this "New New Xiao Wu" is expected to break through and become a fake elixir within this year.

This was also suggested by the "Little Four" in front of me, the former "New Little Five", to use the Changle Chamber of Commerce's powerful information collection capabilities to secretly find suitable targets and recruit them to become brothers in the association.

Meng Zhou also knew the situation of this "Xinxin Xiaowu" very well.

After all, he also voted in favor when the "brand flipping" was conducted.

If not, this "Xinxin Xiaowu" would never be able to enter the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

This person is one of those rare monks who is obsessed with spiritual practice and is not very enthusiastic about power development or wealth management.

His talents in Qi training and foundation building are extremely good.

However, due to the general environment and the restrictions of the power he was in, he had wasted some years, and he was too old to become a true cultivator of the alchemy.

But if you work hard, grit your teeth, and make adequate preparations, you are very sure that you will become a fake elixir.

And this is precisely what the Changle Chamber of Commerce likes about him. He is good enough but can be controlled by the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

For "Xinxin Xiaowu" himself, there is no reason not to agree to this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing.

At first, when the Changle Chamber of Commerce came to him and said, "We can do our best to help you achieve fake elixirs," he thought he had encountered a liar.

It was later explained clearly that he joined the association without any hesitation and became the "Xinxin Xiaowu" of the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

After joining the association, Bing Xin Xue Lian's clone also met "Xin Xin Xiao Wu" several times and also drew cakes for him.

The few times he came here before, he always received him together with "Xiaosi".

He didn't show up this time just because he was already preparing for the false elixir breakthrough.

As for the resources he needs, the Changle Chamber of Commerce was almost ready before he joined the association.

"Is there something urgent about this summons asking me to come here?" Meng Zhou asked "Little Four".

"Little Four" said in a deep voice:

"Brother, I just received news that the shopkeeper of Fuyunlou in Qinglinfang and several of the highest-status clerks were collectively cursed to death by some means."

Meng Zhouyi was stunned. After a while, he digested the information and asked, "When did this happen?"

"The time they were cursed to death was late last night." "Xiao Si" reported back.

Meng Zhou nodded, but his expression returned to normal, and he comforted the solemn "Little Four":

"Okay, I understand...don't take this to heart."

"Xiaosi" opened his mouth, but in the end he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, brother."

Meng Zhou merged the cleaned Mingxin Pavilion forces into the Changle Chamber of Commerce system, but it did not include some of Song Yang's arrangements in Qinglinfang.

As mentioned before, although the Mingxin Pavilion in the Qingxuan Domain can achieve information exchange with the Mingxin Pavilion in other domains, under the traditional model, this interoperability is not only inefficient, but also costly.

Later, as the Qingxuan Sect changed the atmosphere of the Qingxuan Territory, it actively attracted a large number of casual cultivators from outside the realm to develop in the Qingxuan Territory, and used Qinglinfang as a gathering place for monks from the outer realms to enter and exit the Qingxuan Territory.

The flexible Song Yang kept pace with the times and made changes to the costly and inefficient information exchange model.

However, considering the risks involved in this matter, in order to avoid being implicated by "pig teammates" from outside the domain, or to avoid being "followed by others", this new business point is not affiliated with Qingxuanyu Mingxin Pavilion.

Not only are there many strongholds such as Fuyun Tower, but they are all single-line and single-point.

If anyone wants to get to the core of Mingxin Pavilion through "Fuyun Tower", they are simply overthinking.

However, with the death of the owner of Fuyunlou and other high-level officials, this stronghold was considered abandoned.

"Little Four" was able to get the news so quickly because the information channel did not come from this line, but from other apparently unrelated channels.

After hearing the news from "Little Four", Meng Zhou probably guessed what was going on.

Speaking of which, this should be the result of the frequent exchange of news between Qingxuanyu Mingxin Pavilion and Yulingyu Mingxin Pavilion by Fuyun Tower.

…

After returning to the cave, Meng Zhou went straight into the quiet room and sat cross-legged on the stone couch.

Soon, Meng Zhou's consciousness entered a deep state of concentration.

But it's not for cultivation, but under such circumstances, he can eliminate external interference to the greatest extent.

Meng Zhou's consciousness fell into concentration, as if he was slowly sinking from above the sea to below the sea.

At first, when he didn't sink too deep, he could still vaguely feel the interference from "above the sea."

But as he sank deeper and deeper, the world he could perceive became quieter and quieter.

In the end, he can no longer sense anyone but himself.

However, the appearance of this "self" in this state is also very strange.

Meng Zhou felt that "he" was like a big star, quietly suspended in the dark, empty and lonely sky.
