Chapter 133 Invitation from Shuiyang Pavilion
After leaving the branch, Jin Ziming climbed the mountain while admiring the green buds in the cold spring and the surging river outside the cliff.
Crossing a wooden bridge, there is a three-story bamboo building in front of you.
There are many stones picked up from the river in the courtyard, with different shapes, colors and patterns, which are quite elegant.
Jin Ziming didn't use soul detection and went straight to the private room on the third floor. A man came over and said with a smile:
"Zi Ming, long time no see!"
"Who am I? It turns out to be you, Lao Xiao. Why are you so mysterious?"
"It's a long story, so sit down first and let's chat while we eat." Xiao Guangsheng patted him on the shoulder.
The mountain chicken simmered with mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the pot is almost cooked, giving off an alluring aroma.
The two sat down, Xiao Guangsheng poured him a glass of spiritual wine and said:
"Zi Ming, come and try it. I've been in Beikuizhou recently. I thought this wine was good, so I collected some."
Jin Ziming took a sip, then raised his head to drink, and praised:
"It's really good. It's a bit strong in the mouth, but the aftertaste is sweet and mellow, and it leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth. It's a good wine!"
"I'll leave a few bottles for you later, take them home and drink slowly."
"Okay, besides practicing, I'm also interested in eating and drinking.
Lao Xiao, have you been transferred to the north?" Jin Ziming asked curiously.
"I have left the sect." Xiao Guangsheng stared at him and said.
"Ah, what's going on? Didn't you get promoted back to the headquarters?" He couldn't help being surprised.
"I decided to leave on my own.
You should have heard that Elder Yu Zekun of Lingfu Peak is proficient in equipment manufacturing and runes, and has a particularly keen sense of new technologies.
He roped in Xu Ganqing, the boss of our Holy Sword Peak, and obtained the investment and recommendation from the Fo Xingjie Huayu Sect, and established a new second-level sect under the Rune Hall, called 'Shuiyang Pavilion'."
"Yes, I heard."
"Lao Xu came to me and invited me to help him. I thought about it and thought it would be more promising there.
For an old man like me, as soon as he applied to leave the sect, the sect approved it.
I have been appointed by Shuiyang Pavilion as the great elder of Xijinzhou, in charge of all business."
"It's great to be in charge of a continent." Jin Ziming congratulated.
"To be honest, I came here because of Lao Xu's request to have a chat with you.
His current goals are too big for him to come and talk to you in person."
"What are you talking about? Let me go to your place too?" Jin Ziming joked.
"Yes, he and I do want to invite you to Shuiyang Pavilion." Xiao Guangsheng said seriously.
"I'm living a good life, why bother?"
"Zi Ming, you are now just the leader of the Holy Sword Hall of the Thunder Branch.
In front of you are the chief elders, second elders of each branch, and some senior hall leaders.
Including all the big guys at the headquarters, there are at least two thousand people.
We cultivators will live long lives.
With these old people holding the position, if you want to get ahead, you may have to wait hundreds of years before you even get a chance."
Jin Ziming nodded slightly and said:
"You are telling the truth, but I am not very interested in the position. I just want to practice well and constantly improve my cultivation."
“The ultimate goal of a monk is, of course, cultivation.
Zi Ming, have you ever considered that people in different positions receive vastly different resources, so how can their cultivation effects be the same?
What you get is nothing compared to the top two hundred elders in the sect.
Your current permission is only to see Nascent Soul Kung Fu, or a small number of integration period secrets.
But the elders at the top of the list are all looking at the combination and Mahayana realm exercises.
The top-quality spiritual stones, extraterrestrial spiritual minerals and rare elixirs they obtained are beyond your imagination.
If Shuiyang Pavilion provides you with such training conditions, how fast will your talent and qualifications improve?"
Jin Ziming said nothing and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Guangsheng was not in a hurry and ate meat and drank wine by himself without disturbing his thinking.
"That is just an ordinary second-level sect, and Lingyun Sect is undoubtedly the top spot among the second-level sects.
I don’t know how many years it will take for Shuiyang Pavilion to develop to the sect’s level today, why should I sacrifice the high for the low?”
"Shuiyang Pavilion has just been established, and the foundation is indeed insufficient, but they have a complete plan to build themselves into a first-class sect.
You haven't joined yet, and there are some strategic plans that I can't tell you right now.
Currently, in the Hongqing world, there are only four sects that can independently develop mining machines.
And Shuiyang Pavilion also has this ability. I’m afraid it won’t be long before it becomes the fifth one. Do you think it can grow quickly?”
"That's impossible. I heard that Shuiyang Pavilion is an agent for Lingyun Sect's products?"
"That's the case for the time being, but the self-developed terminal equipment will be available soon.
Even the console will probably be launched within a few years.
At that time, we will naturally use a complete set of equipment produced by ourselves to respond to the bid.”
"The mining machine system is so complex, how can you launch your own product so quickly?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because Elder Yu Zekun and the people he brought out are very good and have strong technical skills.
Oh, we should call him Pavilion Master Yu, he is now the head of Shuiyang Pavilion."
Jin Ziming didn't know whether Lao Xiao didn't know more details or didn't want to talk more.
After drinking two more glasses, he asked in a deep voice:
"If I come over, what will I do?"
"Although Lao Xu is optimistic about you, you haven't been the branch leader for a long time.
He wants you to go to the largest branch of Shuiyang Pavilion, the Xuliao branch in Nanfengzhou, and become the second elder there.
The great elder is easy-going and has a good reputation in the cultivation world.
But he was not born in business and needs you to assist him in making his business bigger.
Once you build the Xuliao branch, Lao Xu will let you become the boss of a continent, or even a world.
These are his actual words, not my lies."
Seeing that Jin Ziming didn't answer, Xiao Guangsheng said again:
"After you took over as the hall master, you will go back to Holy Sword Peak for meetings every few years. You should have met many hall masters from other branches, right?"
"Yeah, I know a lot of them."
"I'm afraid you don't know that many of them have already agreed to come to Shuiyang Pavilion."
"Isn't it possible?" Jin Ziming was shocked again.
"It's true. I will never lie to you. As long as you have heard this, don't go out and say it. You will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, Lao Xiao.
So what do I need to do with Xu Liao's business so that Lao Xu will be satisfied?"
"He hopes that you can increase the business scale of this largest division to ten times its current size within five years."
"What? How can such high expectations be fulfilled?"
"Don't worry, do you know Xuliao's current income?"
Xiao Guangsheng explained the data, and Jin Ziming felt slightly relieved. It turns out that the base number is so small, so it is not impossible to increase it tenfold.
The two chatted while drinking, and Jin Ziming asked a lot of questions about Shuiyangge and Xuliao branch.
Lao Xiao obviously did his homework before setting off and gave detailed answers.
"I suggest you give it a try. You are still young anyway, so you might as well take a gamble.
Even if it doesn’t succeed, you still have the capital to make a comeback, and in my opinion, the probability of success is quite high.”
"Lao Xiao, I can't reply to you yet. I need to think about it again."
"Well, I understand, you decide for yourself.
When you have the correct letter, send it to this address through Tianxiahui, and I will receive it."
To be continued...
