Vice President Ouyang was a decisive man, acting swiftly once he made up his mind. He turned his gaze to Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu. “Who of you is willing to be the president of the Linjiang branch?”
Hearing this, both Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu were taken aback.
They hadn’t expected Vice President Ouyang to be so direct.
“This…so soon? Master, this is just a desolate mountain range.”
In her opinion, the establishment of a branch was still in its infancy.
However, a smile once again curved Vice President Ouyang’s lips. “For cultivators like us, moving mountains and filling seas is nothing difficult.
Today it’s a desolate mountain range, but as long as we wish, tomorrow it can become a magnificent complex.
At least in terms of financial resources, in the Qingzhou region, the only one who can rival my Alchemist Association is probably the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”
His words weren’t boastful at this moment.
The demand for pills in the cultivation world was simply enormous.
The identity of an alchemist was too high, making it incredibly easy to make money.
“Seriously speaking, Zhiqiu, Bai Xiu, one of you will stay here as the vice president. This is a form of training for you.
I also believe that with your abilities, you can manage this branch well.
I have only one requirement: to suppress Evil Moon Sect’s so-called Dan Hall. As long as we prevent their Dan Hall from developing, perhaps Miss Xuening will change her mind.”
At this point, Vice President Ouyang’s tone became slightly serious.
Hearing this, the other disciples of the Alchemist Association present couldn’t help but become solemn.
They knew that Vice President Ouyang was not joking with them.
At this moment, they had nearly thirty people in total.
Besides the two Nascent Soul elders, there were seven or eight Golden Core cultivators.
The rest were all second and third-rank alchemists. This force, if organized into a faction, wouldn’t be top-tier in the Qingzhou region, but it certainly wouldn’t be lacking.
After a moment of thought, Bai Xiu stepped forward.
“If the Vice President truly intends to establish a branch in Linjiang City, then this disciple is willing to stay here.”
However, just as Bai Xiu volunteered, Vice President Ouyang let out a cold sneer once again.
“I knew you would take the initiative to stand up.
Don’t think that I didn’t see it yesterday. The way you looked at Sect Master Luo must have made you feel like your soul was being bewitched, right?
If I let you be the vice president of the Alchemist Association in Linjiang City, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be long before you gave it straight to her.
Haha, since you have taken the initiative to stand up, then follow me back to the Alchemist Association.
This time, Zhiqiu will be the president of the Linjiang branch. I believe in your ability.”
Hearing this, both Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu were stunned.
Bai Xiu looked embarrassed and speechless. There was a hint of awkwardness on his handsome face, which was obviously because he was caught by Vice President Ouyang.
His previous self-nomination did indeed have some ulterior motives.
Everyone understood that the candidate for branch president had probably always been Ye Zhiqiu in Vice President Ouyang’s eyes. He had just been teasing Bai Xiu, giving him a small warning.
A smile appeared on Ye Zhiqiu’s lips, but she didn’t say much.
“Disciple obeys your command!”
She had been hidden by the Alchemist Association until the last alchemist convention, where she had shone brightly.
In her view, since establishing branches and sub-factions was all the rage now, Ye Zhiqiu wouldn’t be any worse than others.
Vice President Ouyang nodded, his gaze falling on the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
“Xie Yuan, Wu Qingsong, you two elders don’t need to return to the Alchemist Association either. Just lead the others here to assist Zhiqiu.”
When Vice President Ouyang decided to establish a branch here, these two Nascent Soul cultivators already knew their next task.
They nodded solemnly at this time: “We obey the Vice President’s orders.” Seaʀch* The NôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Vice President Ouyang looked back at the distant Linjiang City and a smile once again appeared on his lips.
“Alright, how to operate, the scale of the branch, and how you will develop in the future, I won’t interfere in the slightest. You figure it out yourselves.”
Finally, after saying this, a vast spiritual power from his Nascent Soul late stage surged onto Bai Xiu beside him.
He then carried Bai Xiu onto a spirit bird once again.
He didn’t give Bai Xiu any time to hesitate.
When they arrived, the Alchemist Association had nearly thirty people.
When they left, there was only Bai Xiu and him.
“Vice President Ouyang, you are truly decisive. However, Linjiang City looks quite promising. I’m rather curious to see how lively it will become in the future.”
Watching as Vice President Ouyang and Bai Xiu disappeared into the distant horizon on the spirit bird, Xie Yuan, the Nascent Soul cultivator, sighed.
In the eyes of those who stayed behind, Vice President Ouyang’s actions, though seemingly childish and hasty, might be a brilliant move!
“Master Xie, Master Wu, you two will have to work hard for the next few days,” Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, looking at Xie Yuan and the others.
“This is a small matter. Let’s quickly outline the branch’s structure. Then, we’ll spread the word, and we won’t be short of cultivators wanting to join.”
The group discussed a few more things before using their respective abilities to begin transforming the beautiful mountain range before them.
As Xie Yuan said, as long as they established the basic framework, with the Alchemist Association’s influence, recruiting for the branch would be easy. Countless low-level alchemists and cultivators of various realms would flock to join.
They could quickly build a formidable force.
…
Su Jingzhen and the others were naturally unaware of the Alchemist Association’s decision at this time.
Time passed, and night fell once again.
After checking on the progress of the new Spiritual Medicine Sect headquarters with Xuening and Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen returned to his courtyard.
“Xuening and Yuebai seemed to restrain themselves when they were together.
I spent so much time with them today, but I didn’t even generate any empathy points. It seems that to gain more, I’ll have to spend time alone with each of them.”
Lying on the stone bed in his room, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but reflect on the day’s events.
[Remaining usable points: 471]
The remaining usable points were still 471.
That is to say, except for the two consecutive points from Xuening when they met in the morning.
Today, he didn’t get even 1 extra point.
Su Jingzhen felt a little helpless, but he could understand.
It is not so convenient to release some emotions when there are other people around.
Perhaps this could be understood as the girls’ shyness.
With a wry smile, Su Jingzhen didn’t dwell on it any longer.
He went straight to bed.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, before he could wake up naturally, a swift messenger insect suddenly flew in from outside the window.
It startled him awake.
After reading the information transmitted by the messenger insect, Su Jingzhen’s face changed drastically.
He immediately threw off his sleepwear and jumped out of bed.
