"Mr. Hui, I'm really not optimistic about opening a business." Qu Zhong bowed slightly and replied.

"Tell me about it." Qin Ziling nodded.

Qu Zhong thought about it for a while before answering.

"First, the initial investment in cultivating alchemy masters and weapon refining masters is too large, and without a strong foundation, we simply cannot afford it; second, sir, I have also seen the situation in Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land and the nearby million-mile sea area, where the weak eat the strong.

Robbery, murder and extortion can be seen from time to time, as well as competition and conflicts between peers, so opening a business must be protected by strong force.

In the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain and the nearby million-mile sea area, the only truly famous business on land is Baibaoxuan of Nanli Xiandao. Because Nanli Xiandao is one of the three upper islands, it has a strong foundation and strength, and the ancestor of Nanli is

Yi Huo Ya De Tao, he and his disciples are good at controlling fire, and have natural advantages in refining pills and refining weapons.

Other shops are of various kinds, good and bad, and different in scale. But those shops that have reached a certain level of fame are all backed by powerful real immortals. For example, Murong Chu, the owner of Enlightenment Immortal Island, is said to be an immortal.

The Earth Immortal in the late infant stage has more than ten Earth Immortal protectors in the early and middle stage of the Immortal Infant under his tent. Their strength is considered to be above average among the thirty-six immortal islands.

However, the Tongling Pavilion opened on Kaiming Xiandao still has to find Fukong Ancestor as its backer. It needs to hand over a fixed share of income to Fukong Ancestor every year, otherwise the Tongling Pavilion will not be able to grow bigger and stronger. There are still some that go up.

The backers behind large-scale businesses are even the generals of the four towns. In fact, they only have a name, but they enjoy the benefits, which is more worry-free and relaxed than opening a business in person.

If you are just planning to start a small business, that's fine, but judging from your intentions, it seems that you want to focus the future development of the sect's power mainly on the business operation, so the business must reach a certain scale.

It’s very complicated from the beginning. Not only does it require a lot of initial investment, but it also requires strong force to ensure safety during operation, and a large part of the profits must be handed over to the real immortal, so sir, you still have to think twice.”

"I didn't expect that if the company reaches a certain scale, it would have to find a true immortal to name it!" Qin Ziling showed a look of surprise and subconsciously looked at the Yun Lan siblings.

Back then, as an inner disciple of Hantie Zhangyuan, he had his name in the rouge and gouache shop they opened and received some name fees. It sounds like what Qu Zhong is talking about now is actually the same thing.

However, he only charges a fixed registration fee every month, which is only a small portion of the revenue of the rouge gouache store. But according to Qu Zhong, the share to be turned over is very large. It is no wonder that Qu Zhong is not big

Take a good look.

Because in Qu Zhong's view, Qin Ziling has the combat power to rival the late Immortal Immortal Earth Immortal, but when he first arrived, even his foothold was temporarily borrowed from Qingyun Immortal Island. Compared with relatively high-ranking forces such as Kaiming Immortal Island,

The basic background is still very different.

Not to mention the need for a group of strong subordinates to protect him, to seek support from true immortals, etc.!

"Yeah! They basically don't do anything, but once we become big, we have to give them a certain share of the income. In the end, we work hard but others eat the meat and we drink the soup, so why bother? It's better to cultivate the medicine mountain in peacetime.

, planting spiritual herbs and elixirs, and mining mineral veins, at least you can maintain your daily practice and feel free and at ease. If you are not willing to be ordinary and want to improve your cultivation quickly, you can also take some dangerous risks and go out to meet the gods, and maybe you can also hit the big one.

Luck." Qu Zhong said.

"Your concerns are all reasonable, but the problem is not big. The business name is a long-term solution, and it needs to be established as soon as possible." Qin Ziling thought for a while and said.

When Qu Zhong heard this, his expression changed several times, his lips moved, and he wanted to say a word or two of persuasion. Qin Ziling had already waved his hand and said, "Qu Zhong, I know it well."

After hearing this, Qu Zhong didn't dare to persuade him anymore, but he was still a little worried and unfavorable in his heart.

But Qu Zhong didn't know that the murder of Tu Xun and Murong Min, which caused a sensation a while ago and shocked everyone, was the murderer in front of him, Mr. Qin.

Earlier, Tu Xun's reinforcements were also intercepted by Qin Ziling's men on the way.

Just from these two interceptions on the way, Qin Ziling made a lot of money and accumulated a lot of wealth.

Not to mention that a while ago, Qin Ziling snatched a blood unicorn demon from the hands of four true immortals.

Qu Zhong also didn't know that in the past year or two, especially in the past six months, the strength of Wuji Sect's disciples had undergone great changes. Now there were seven Earth Immortals in the middle stage of Immortal Infant alone.

Qu Zhong didn't even know that Qin Ziling's own combat power was now comparable to a second-grade true immortal, and Xiao Qing's combat power was comparable to a first-grade true immortal.

Qin Ziling naturally would not explain more. Seeing that Qu Zhong stopped trying to persuade him, he added: "As for the business name, we are not in a hurry to make it bigger and stronger from the beginning. We can start with Qingyun Fairy Island and the Jiujiu affiliated to Qingyun Fairy Island."

Start with an island.”

"That's right, that's right." Qu Zhong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Qingyun Fairy Island and Xueyun Island are still closely related. Once the business opens to other islands, in Qu Zhong's view, safety will be a big issue, but if it is only within the sphere of influence of Qingyun Fairy Island, then there is nothing to worry about.

Okay, as for future matters, I will naturally consider them later.

As they spoke, the group set foot on the Sky-Crossing Immortal Shuttle again, and flew away under the awe-inspiring eyes of the island's indigenous people.

Along the way, everyone visited some islands.

Gradually, Qin Ziling and others saw a huge island from a distance.

In fact, for Qin Ziling, it is more accurate to say it is an island than a continent.

Facing the direction of Qin Ziling and others, an extremely majestic city stands along the coast.

Around this giant city, and further afield, there are many cities dotted around it.

"Sir, that is Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land. The city we can see now is called Pingyu West City, and the person who is in charge of this city is Zhenxi General Gouhuan. There are eight fairy islands in the sea to the west of Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land.

They are all under his control, including the floating fairy island.

Unless there are special circumstances, every five years we only need to go to the General's Mansion in Xicheng Town, Pingyu City, to pay tribute. We do not need to go to the royal city to pay tribute directly to the king. The king is practicing in seclusion all year round or traveling around, and basically does not care about it.

These things." Qu Zhong pointed to the huge island and explained.

While Qu Zhong was speaking, a giant bird-like flying fairy flew from the sky.

Standing on the bird-like immortal weapon is a handsome man, with a hint of powerful aura in his elegant demeanor. He is an earthly immortal in the late stage of immortal infant, and he is none other than Duan Musong, the fourth elder of the floating fairy island.

More than two years ago, Tu Xun led his men to attack Qingyun Fairy Island. Later, he led his men to spy on the Qingyun Fairy Island thousands of miles away, hoping to wait for an opportunity. However, Qin Ziling forced Tu Xun to pay a large amount of resources before letting him.

They left, causing Duanmu Song and others to plan and wait in vain.

There are still about ten people standing behind Duanmu Song, five earth immortals, five half-immortals in the late golden elixir stage, and one of the five earth immortals is in the mid-stage immortal infant stage.

Obviously, Duanmu Song went to Zhenxi General Mansion to pay tribute on behalf of Ancestor Fukong this time.

Ancestor Fukong is a first-class true immortal, and General Gou Huan of Zhenxi is also a first-class true immortal. He relies on his status, so naturally he cannot go to pay tribute in person.

"Fourth Elder, isn't that Qu Zhong from Qingyun Immortal Island, and is there that helper invited from who knows where?" said the Earth Immortal with a pair of mournful eyebrows in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant stage.

"Qu Zhong is nothing, but that kid has a few tricks up his sleeve. He even dares to extort money from Tu Xun." When Duanmu Song saw that he was indeed from Qingyun Island, his thoughts changed and he said: "You call them to stop, I want to watch."

See what’s special about him.”

"Yes, Fourth Elder." The mournful immortal replied, and then shouted to Qin Ziling and others: "The ones in front are fellow Taoists from Qingyun Immortal Island. Please stay, my Fourth Elder has invited you."

"It's Duan Muzong, the fourth disciple of Ancestor Fu Kong." Qu Zhong quickly explained to Qin Ziling in a low voice.

Qin Ziling nodded slightly and turned around to face the huge bird-shaped fairy weapon.

"Lian Changfeng, the island owner of Qingyun Island, has met Elder Duanmu!" The Sky-Crossing Immortal Shuttle stopped outside Li Xu. As the island owner, Lien Changfeng raised his hands and said.

In just over two years, Lien Changfeng, who was only eleven years old, had already become a Grand Master, which was considered very powerful.

However, Duanmu Song, as the fourth elder of the Floating Immortal Island and the direct disciple of the True Immortal, naturally would not take his hairless child seriously. He just waved his hand casually and then set his sights on Qin Ziling.

On the body, he said calmly: "What's your name? You are quite capable. More than two years ago, you dared to sit down and raise the price, forcing Tu Xun to leave a fortune before he could escape."

Qin Ziling's only real appearance in front of the public was the battle more than two years ago, and he has lived in seclusion since then, so the outside world knows very little about him, and even his name has never been spread.

"Qin Ziling doesn't dare to be the elder Duanmu and make false praise." Qin Ziling cupped his hands and replied.

"Qin Ziling, yes, this elder has remembered it." Duanmu Song nodded, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Yun Lan behind him, and he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, and then revealed a scorching color.

"The woman behind you is good-looking and has a unique temperament. She is somewhat similar to an old friend of this elder's." Duanmu Song quickly turned his attention to Qin Ziling and said.

"Thank you Elder Duanmu for the compliment. I wonder if Elder Duanmu has anything else to do? If not, see you at the Zhenxi General Mansion." Qin Ziling said lightly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Duanmu Song's words at all.

"There's nothing else. It's just that my old friend has been dead for many years, and I miss him so much. I wonder if Qin Ziling can bear the pain and give me the maid behind you? Even if you have a good relationship with this elder, your future blood will be

People from Yun Dao come to your door again, and for the sake of this good relationship, this elder will come forward and say a few words of justice to you." Duanmu Song said calmly.

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

As soon as Duanmu Song said this, Yun Lan's younger brother Yuntai first showed an angry expression and shouted angrily, followed by Feng Ziluo, who had a strong personality and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

"Qiang!" There was a sound.

When the two of them were yelling angrily, Yuntai had already drawn a tiger-headed sword, while Feng Ziluo had drawn out a golden flying sword, hovering in front of him, and spitting cold sword light at Duanmu Song.

When Qu Zhong saw this, his face immediately turned pale, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

The Floating Fairy Island and the Blood Cloud Fairy Island are different.

Floating Sky Island is the overlord of the sea area where Qingyun Island is located. From a certain point of view, Qingyun Island can also be regarded as the sphere of influence of Floating Island.

It's just that there are rules from the Fire Ape Kingdom, and the Floating Fairy Island cannot directly annex Qingyun Fairy Island.

But even if this is the case, if Blood Cloud Immortal Island comes to attack Qingyun Immortal Island, it must first consider the reaction of Floating Cloud Immortal Island.

Because of this, the last time Tu Xun came to attack, the people from the Floating Fairy Island came forward. Later, Tu Xun was defeated and the great elder of the Xueyun Fairy Island did not take action. A large part of this was also because of the Floating Fairy Island.

Now, Yuntai and Feng Ziluo actually angrily scolded Duanmu Song to his face, and even drew their swords at each other. That's a big deal!

But before Qu Zhong could speak, Qin Ziling had already raised his hand to stop him.

Qu Zhong still respected Qin Ziling very much. Seeing him raise his hand, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his lips, but his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

A single Blood Cloud Immortal Island has already forced Qingyun Immortal Island to breathe. If the Floating Cloud Immortal Island is added to it, there will be no way for Qingyun Immortal Island to survive.

"Haha, interesting, interesting!" When Duanmu Song saw this, he didn't look angry, but laughed, looking up and down at Qin Ziling with interest.

"I don't find it interesting at all." Qin Ziling said lightly, then waved his hand, turned around and walked away.
