Chapter 30
When Xiao San entered his living room he saw James waiting for him inside the living room.
“Young master, how can I help you?” asked James.
“James, first of all go and tell shadow to ready, 2 seventh rank martial artists and twenty 6th rank martial artists to return to my ruling area. Also tell him to come and meet me with the other generals after I finish my meeting with my other managers.
And after telling that to him, you have to go and call my 4 main business managers and the property manager to come and meet me, right now for a special meeting in the living room. Also prepare some outdoor camping tents for me.” Said Xiao San.
“Yes, young master,” said James and left the living room leaving Xiao San alone inside the living room.
Xiao San went to his table and started to eat the light breakfast that James had prepared for him. And as soon as he finished his breakfast, five middle aged men entered his living room after knocking on the door.
They bowed to Xiao San, and Xiao San Pointed at the sofas and told them to sit. Xiao San told them that he will start the meeting after James arrive. James also arrived at the living room shortly after the managers arrived.
The meeting started and Xiao San asked his property manage to display the map of the empire and show him all the uncultivated lands that he owns.
The property manager showed many uncultivated lands that Xiao San owns. This surprised him because even he did not know that he had many bare land. Then he asked his managers for their options about what to do to those bare lands. Although he had some ideas on his head. He did not say them because he was a person who listen to other people’s advices.
One of his managers suggested him, to sell those bare land and another suggested to rent them out and the last two suggested to start a new business and use these bare lands.
At last all the five of them agreed to the idea of starting a new business. Xiao San knew this would be their final decision so he suggested that they start a plantation for planting medicinal plants and other indigents that are important for his other business to run.
Xiao San had four main companies under him. They were soap making company, perfume making company, wood working company and a medicinal pharmacy. And all the materials that they get to make their product are from outside suppliers. So most of the time their supplies get delayed due to various reasons.
The main objective of the new company that he was going to start was to supply materials to his company with good quality and on the correct time.
His five managers and his butler thought that was a smart decision because they knew that Xiao San was planning to fight against the royal family. And at that time they knew that there would definitely a war between the royal family army and Xiao San’s secret army.
Therefore, they would need many other supplies, such as food, for their army to fight. And if they were to start a new business which can monopolies another area in the empires economy suddenly, the royal family would definitely get suspicious of them.
But if they were to start a new business just increase the quality of their products then the royal family would not get suspicious of them. Because it was not too flashy. Like his other business.
And with this new business they could secretly start making important food items and they could also start make tree sheets for inscription makers to use them to make new attract type inscriptions.
(Although inscription makers were important and powerful people, the royal family never started to guard inscription makers like Alchemist because what matters to them was strength. Alchemist can directly increase cultivator’s strength. And being Alchemist were easy unlike being formation master. And also Alchemist can start introducing new products after studying for a few years unlike formation masters who not only need many knowledge about formation and they also need to have some understanding about rules in order to make formation.)
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
After thinking about all the things that they can do in secret, if they were to open a new business to make basic materials that their business needed.
Therefore, they agreed to Xiao San’s suggestion. And the manager who is in charge of the soap factory suggested that they could even breed their own animals to get oil to make soap. Xiao San agreed to that suggestion.
Meanwhile Ao Boa, who was listening to Xiao San’s meeting was puzzled because he could not imagine how starting a new business would help them to earn new points easily.
“Little san, why are you starting a new business? when you have to earn system point?” Asked Ao Boa.
“Brother Ao, if I were to go and collect all the trees in the Empire then the royal family will find something and cause us trouble. Therefore, I’m thinking about starting plantation to collect trees which I can convert into system points later, And with a plantation the royal family will not think about anything suspicious about finding some plants missing in my property and also even if they were to find old plant suddenly disappear they will never think anything about it unlike, if I were to go around the empire collecting trees.” Said Xiao San.
“if you were to take these plant and convert them into system points then what will happen to your new business that you are starting.” (Ao Boa)
“brother Ao, after harvesting the crops all farmers will remove their old plants and then they will use new plants for the next year. Therefore, after my people finishes harvesting the crops I can take the old plants and convert them into points right.” Said Xiao San in an excited voice.
“I know that you like to kill two birds with one stone but still you forgot the time that you have is limited.” Sign Ao Boa in Xiao San’s head.
“brother Ao, I heard that there are formations at the first divine realm that can help farmers to grow their crops within one day.” Said Xiao San in a mischievous tone.
Ao boa did not understand what Xiao San immediately but after thinking for a few seconds he understood the meaning of Xiao San’s words and said “Little San, your indeed very clever, even if you were to use the money that you have at hand now, is not enough for you to buy a new cultivation technique. But if you were to buy the formation manual step 1 and study that manual, then you can indeed earn many system points using the plan that you are thinking.”
Xiao San and the six other men discussed furthermore about how the business should run and who will be responsible for this business.
The meeting ended after thirty minutes and then 10 more middle age men entered the living room. They were Shadow and the other generals in Xiao San’s army.
After entering they sat on the chairs that were arranged for them and waited until Xiao San talk.
“Since all the sixteen of you are hear let me tell you something. All the sixteen of you are my most trusted people. You guys are the only who people who believed in me when I first started my soap factory. You guys were also there with me even when I left the “Shi city” because of the treats that I faced in the Shi.
“You guys followed me and protected my since I started my journey. I’m very thankful for the trust that you guys had about me and also for looking after me all these years.” Said Xiao San sincerely. He got up from his seat and bowed to all of them.
“Young master, what happened to you? Quickly get up.” Said James and the other in a panicked tone.
Xiao San laugh slightly seen their reaction, he knew why they panicked so he said “ok, calm down, the royal family haven’t found out anything that we have done yet. I’m talking to you’ll today like this is because of another reason. Actually, I was already an immortal cultivator since few years back. But my cultivation is different you guys that’s because I’m a soul cultivator.
All of you should know by now, that I’m not able to absorb qi because of my bloodline problem. Therefore, I became a soul cultivator. Although Soul cultivators are not powerful as true immortal cultivators, it still helped me to become stronger than what I was.
And currently I have only around 3 to 4 years until I ascent to 2nd divine realm. Therefore, I will be leaving the capital to roam around this world before I ascending to the second divine realm.” While releasing his four black rings.
James and the other 15 middle age men were astonished by the pressure that Xiao San emitted after he released his soul rings.
It hard for them to even breath when Xiao San release his soul rings and only after Xiao San took back the soul ring were they able to breath properly.
They were silent for a little while. Then one of the generals asked in a worried tone “young master, what will happen to us after you ascend to the Second divine realm.”
“Don’t worry, although I will be ascending to the second divine realm. I can keep few of my clone in this world and ascend. Although they will only have half of my strength they can still fight with grand sprite gathering realm cultivators. So you don’t have to worry about your safety, when I’m not around.” said Xiao San
Then they started to discuss about that they have to do in the future and Xiao San also showed them his 10 clones and made those clones hide inside James and some other general’s storage rings.
And after everything was settled Xiao San went into his room and slept.
