You State and Tianxuan Sect

"Finally, it’s settled. Tianxuan Sect has agreed to join forces with many other sects in You State and send people to reside in Xiaotian City. They will become the main traders in Xiaotian City, specializing in purchasing North State specialties."

"Congratulations, Lord, for achieving your wish."

"It’s not much. He took a big bite out of our interests."

"Lord, you don’t need to worry. If we gain benefits, it means he’s on our side. That’s a good thing."

"Don’t think too much. If something really happens, they will be the first ones to abandon us. Instead of saying that, focus on establishing your business in Xuanmiao City. When the time comes, Xiaotian City will send a constant stream of resources for you to convert here. You hold great significance here, understand?"

"I know, that’s how they do it in Shenmu City too."

Lin Jiang nodded, cultivators need a variety of resources, if one place doesn’t have everything, they need to trade and exchange different resources, and he’s the one who manages the front.

"Okay, I’ll leave this matter to you. The Lin family won’t treat you unfairly, you’ll have one percent of the Lin family’s benefits all to yourself."

"Master, isn’t this not good?"

"That’s it then. If you have time, help me speak some good words. The relationship between the father and daughter is strained now, sigh."

"Master, don’t worry. Third Auntie will understand."

"And there’s Old Ten, she’s even more stubborn, sigh."

Lin Batian sighed, both little jackets were drafty, he was really worried.

Lin Jiang was speechless for a moment, the little jackets being drafty were caused by himself. You’re already hundreds of years old, and you still bring women home. It’s not surprising that the house is in chaos.

Lin Jiang immediately agreed on the surface, but in his heart, he had made up his mind. He knew he had to learn the scheming tactics from Lin Die in order to stand a chance against Xiao Lingyue. Women who grew up in places filled with other women seemed to be born with these scheming skills.

Two days later, Lin Batian left after leaving some money behind. Lin Jiang also found someone to rent a large shop and residence. Spirit stones were flowing out quickly.

Lin Jiang himself was very busy. He knew that in order to build a successful business in a new place, he would have to deal with all kinds of obstacles. So, during this period of time, the most important thing for Lin Jiang was to treat others to meals.

Of course, it wasn’t done for nothing. Lin Jiang never wasted his money. He first targeted Tianxuan Sect for help, and then he invited Zhou Huaiying to multiple meals, intentionally letting the disciples of Tianxuan Sect see. This quickly resolved most of the problems.

After one month, the company’s renovation was almost complete. Lin Dongyan and others also arrived. Now Lin Jiang was the white glove of the Lin family, so the company had to be large. It needed the support of high-tech personnel. These kinds of high-tech personnel couldn’t be hired from outside, they had to be cultivated on their own.

Another half a month passed, and the company officially opened. Business was just average, not too good nor too bad. However, Lin Jiang was not in a rush. He knew that the foundation was there and he could slowly build it up.

North State, Xiaotian City

With the arrival of You State company, led by Tianxuan Sect, Xiaotian City quickly prospered. The city was not completely built yet, but that didn’t hinder its prosperity.

"This is one of the special products from North State called Cold Ice Stone. Although it may seem like the lowest grade Cold Ice Stone, it can be sold for twenty thousand spirit stones in the central city. In this place, the trading company collects it from those Human Demon villages for only one thousand jin of spiritual paddy, and even the lowest quality ones can be sold for less than two spirit stones, making a profit of tens of thousands of times."

Lin Chaosheng showed Lin Batian a mineral and explained to him the tricks of trade in North State.

"How much tax do we collect for such a big price difference?"

"One thousand spirit stones. Those trading companies, along with various other expenses, won’t exceed three thousand spirit stones, yet they make terrifying profits."

"How did they prevent the Human Demon Clan from selling directly in the central city before?"

"Anyone who leaves North State will be killed, and their entire clan will be wiped out. A few hundred groups of thieves have monopolized the entire North State road. They can’t escape, and the Human Demon Clan is easily distinguishable. The trading companies in the central city don’t allow direct trade with them. They have no other option but to trade with the trading companies. Lord, the profits here are truly frightening. I have never seen such a business."

"Indeed, North State, which is desolate for thousands of miles, is filled with wealth. What else does North State have?"

"A lot. There are dozens of types of Cold Ice Stone alone. There is also a type of spiritual fire, the Icy Flame, which is extremely rare. It can’t even be bought for several million spirit stones outside, but here, you can get it for just a few thousand spirit stones. However, this kind of spiritual fire is very rare. It can hardly be seen even once in several decades. The Human Demon Tribes had to sacrifice many lives to obtain one."

"How powerful is the Human Demon Tribe?"

Without strong experts, the overall strength of the tribe is between golden core and Nascent Soul. But there are hardly any experts above Soul Changing. If a tribe with such strength appears, the merchants and thieves will attack it with all their might and eliminate it. Now that the thieves have been almost wiped out by our strikes, it is our responsibility to ensure that the Human Demon Tribe doesn’t produce any experts.

Master, in the past, the merchants would venture deep into the far north to acquire things and also keep an eye on them. But now, the trading locations are all in Xiaotian City. We must also monitor them.

"I have already arranged this. Tian Li and Wei Dao will lead a team to patrol the entire North State. They will not only combat other thieves but also monitor the Human Demon Tribe. They will also prevent smuggling and prohibit the merchants from crossing the Xiaotian City boundary."

Lin Batian said. In fact, they have replaced all the previous thieves. They do exactly what the thieves used to do, but they are even more domineering and arrogant.

"Master, I still suggest that we interfere in the merchants’ affairs. It would be such a waste to let all those profits go to the merchants from You State."

"Enough, remember, we only earn the money that belongs to us."

Lin Batian shook his head. He couldn’t help but be tempted by the huge profits, but he was rational. The reason they were able to stand firm in the North State was the result of compromise with the forces from You State. They made compromises with each other.

Once they break the rules and try to monopolize the benefits, the forces from You State will not be polite and will immediately turn against them. Lin Batian and his group wouldn’t stand a chance against the forces from You State anymore.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Chaosheng sighed, he knew this truth all too well. It was just too tempting and he couldn’t resist.

"Just wait, North State will be the place where my Lin family rises. In no more than ten years, I will bring you all kinds of treasures, and you will all have advanced."

Lin Batian nodded, he could already see the future of North State. As long as they managed for three to five years, the Lin family would become prosperous again, and their strength would need to increase once more.

Lin Chaosheng also hoped for this. After all the years of struggle for the Lin family, their strength had weakened in comparison to Yun State. Now it was time for them to soar.

"Lin Lang"

Before long, Xiao Lingyue floated over. Lin Chaosheng glanced at her and quickly left. Not many members of the Lin family liked her, but since Lin Batian did, there was nothing they could do.

"Yue’er, what’s the matter?"

"Lin Lang, my cultivation speed is getting slower and slower. Yue’er is very worried. If my cultivation doesn’t improve quickly, I won’t be able to help you in the future. I’ve heard that there are many powerful evil cultivators hidden in North State."

"It’s simple, let’s go and cultivate together."

"Lin Lang, please stop misbehaving. If dual cultivation happens too frequently, it can be harmful to the body, and the results will become less effective."

"You’re right, you don’t lack in cultivation techniques, just in resources. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your resources."

"Lin Lang, Yue’er feels bad about always relying on your money. Yue’er is not a delicate flower kept hidden away. Yue’er wants to earn money for herself and share some of the burden with the Lin family."

"Yue’er is really considerate, but Xiaotian City is still in its early stages and everything is chaotic. If you take over, it will definitely be exhausting. I can’t bear to see that. How about this? I’ll give you thirty shops in Xiaotian City. If you want to do something, you can open a small store and pass the time. If you don’t want to work, you can just collect rent."

Lin Batian said, he really didn’t dare to bring this up. If Xiao Lingyue gained real power, it would be difficult to bring her back. He could only try to deceive and appease her for now.
