The great victory of Supreme Tian Lun against Suan Xian finally reversed the decline of the Wanxian League in the Grand Competition.
After the victory, there was joy everywhere in the City of Immortals. Areas A and B were decorated with lanterns and colored banners, and major shops took the opportunity to offer discounts and promotions.
The quick-witted businessmen had already made all kinds of products related to Supreme Tian Lun.
For example, Supreme Tian Lun had personally certified the best quality medicinal pills, top quality secret methods that had been praised by Supreme Tian Lun, and imitation figurines made from the unique roulette of Supreme Tian Lun …
More than half of them were false advertisements. In his early years, before Supreme Tian Lun succeeded in calculating the world of mortals, he was a well-known ascetic cultivator. How could he have so much time to come out to certify medicinal pills and comment on methods? Ten Thousand Arts Sect was recognized as the richest sect in the entire immortal cultivation world. Any resources were almost never sought from outside, so why should he waste his time to come out?
As for the imitation roulette figurines, it was purely a wishful thinking of profiteers, hoping that they would not encounter a disciple of Ten Thousand Arts Sect who went out …
However, in any case, these goods marked with the mark of Tian Lun were very popular.
The buyers, of course, knew the trick. Those who could settle in the City of Immortals were not idiots. Thus, they did not buy it because they believed the advertising words, but purely for the joy.
We won! We are happy! We revel!
Rich and willful!

"These people are crazy."
The teenager in charge of the shop looked at the revelry outside the shop and could not help but click his tongue and then became depressed.
As a seller, he should be overjoyed to encounter a day when the buyers collectively went crazy. Because the things that were difficult to sell on weekdays could be sold at an incredible price. The owners of several shops around him laughed until their lungs broke. Several worthless dishes, because they were urgently printed with the roulette icon of Supreme Tian Lun, were sold at the price of one spirit stone each.
How could there be such a good business in the world? Sparkling and translucent spirit stones flowed into his account like a steady stream of dirt …
It was indeed a carnival, a feast!
"Alas, is that necessary? Didn't we just win a fight? The score is only thirty points. Before, we lost hundreds of games in a row, and the gap between the civil and martial skills is more than two thousand points. And just today, didn't we lose two small matches? What's there to be happy about? "
The young man's sigh wasn't loud, but the business owners on both sides of the street all had sharp ears and eyes. After hearing this, they all sneered.
"Sour, continue being sour!"
Being ridiculed, the young man's face darkened slightly, but he did not refute.
According to his usual temperament, at this time, he would have already quarreled with the fat man on his left and the tall and skinny woman on his right. The little mouse had mingled in the marketplace since he was a child, but he had never had the concept of respecting the elderly.
But today, he didn't say a word and ate the other party's mockery.
Because their laughter was not wrong. He was indeed sour, extremely sour.
His left and right hands were making a lot of money, but he was just a businessman, but he could only sit and watch the market rise, unable to make a move.
As for the reasons? It was very simple. After all, this shop wasn't his. He was in charge of the shop's daily operations, but he didn't have the final say in the important matters.
The person who had the final say had personally told him not long ago that he was not allowed to participate in today's market. The goods in the shop were not allowed to have any relationship with Supreme Tian Lun.
This was, of course, a model of honest management. However, watching his peers become rich in a day, but he only had integrity and conscience as his companions, the torture in his heart was really indescribable.
After a long time, the young man couldn't bear the torture, so he directly closed the shop and no longer operated it.
What to buy and what to sell was not up to him, but as the only operator of the shop, he could always ask for sick leave in advance, right?
From the shop back to his residence, Shu Si directly poured out his grievances to Dead Face.
He didn't bother to mention the shop, because not long ago, when Dead Face told him to operate in good faith, they had already quarreled. And the result was clear at a glance, so naturally, there was no need to mention it again.
However, the young man couldn't calm down, so he changed the topic and began to complain about this meaningless carnival.
Supreme Tian Lun did win, and this victory was indeed delightful. But how useful was a victory? For a victory, it was as if he had already won the Grand Competition, wasn't that just deceiving himself?
Listening to Shu Si's complaint, Dead Face didn't even raise his head, because what he said was nonsense.
Indeed, this was just a victory, but at the same time, the Wanxian League tasted two defeats — Immortal Luo Xue once again showed her unparalleled attainments in the fields of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, easily defeating the peerless zither master of the Wanxian League. In terms of points, today's Wanxian League lost. However, how could the Grand Competition be decided in one or two days?
After a long time, Dead Face suddenly raised his head.
"From now on, prepare to collect goods related to Wang Lu, and they must be genuine."
— —
At the same time, in the courtyard of Immortal Five Area, Wang Lu gently put down the brush in his hand.
"Very good, in this way, it's three consecutive victories. The momentum has already taken shape. As long as we continue to win in the next few games, the momentum will snowball and become smoother and smoother, and then …"
Wang Lu said and suddenly raised his head.
"Do you guys think it's necessary to stock up some of my exclusive goods from now on?"
Hai Yunfan sighed and said, "If you have the energy, why don't you think about the next game? If you want money, why can't you get it with your power? "
"Tsk, how can rape and adultery be lumped together?"
That being said, Wang Lu turned his attention back to the desk. However, after reading two documents, he felt that his hands were empty. He looked up and said, "Little Hai, what about the next document?"
Hai Yunfan said, "They're all here. I'll help you deal with them later … Don't look at me like that, no one wants to usurp power. It's just that as a secretary, I need to remind you that there are more things that need your attention now. No matter how you plan to take advantage of the next few games, you have to fight in person at the last pass. But so far, most of your energy has been used to deal with these paperwork, and the progress of your cultivation is not optimistic. "
Wang Lu was stunned when he heard this. "Little Hai, I didn't expect you to be so concerned about my situation … Could it be that you recently quarreled with your wife, so you fell in love with me? Unfortunately, I, the domineering chief planner, am not a person of that circle. "
Hai Yunfan sighed and said, "Even if I really quarreled with Feifei, it must be because you forcibly recruited me as a secretary, causing us to live apart … And from the beginning, it was you who spread the rumor that I was a person of that circle! Of course, I know that you always plan ahead and have a card up your sleeve. But as the main commander of the King Pill War, it's better for you to cultivate longer than shorter. There aren't that many jobs here that you can't do, so you don't need to waste too much time here. "
"…" Wang Lu was silent for a while and also sighed. "I also want to cultivate in seclusion immediately, but there are actually many jobs here that I can't do. Don't be fooled by the festive decorations outside. However, the situation was far from being optimistic. Just as everyone was celebrating, Fairy Luo Xue killed two of our generals in the other two arenas that were competing in zither skills. In terms of points, we didn't gain anything today. The next competition is scheduled to be held in two days, but there are still three small competitions to be held in these two days. Previously, we used all kinds of reasons to avoid them, but now we can't delay it any longer. And even if we win the competition in two days, we can't make up for the deficit of those three competitions. The situation is not so encouraging. "
Hai Yunfan said, "The situation is indeed not optimistic, but Dixian's comprehensive strength is far better than ours, and they are carrying out a strategy of suppression at the beginning, so this situation is not surprising. So we designed the strategy of using points to exchange for time. First, we arranged some weaker players to participate in some competitions with fewer points. And the main force will take this opportunity to step up their cultivation and improve their strength, so that they can counterattack in the future. Your recent activity is also to boost the morale. When the morale reaches its peak, you will completely blow the horn of counterattack and send the main force players to the competition to win points … So, isn't it normal to lose points now? "
Wang Lu said, "The problem is that the main force players have already started to play one after another."
Hai Yunfan was suddenly shocked, "What?!"
"In fact, in the original plan, I didn't intend to let the Wanxian League lose for a month in a row. At that time, the expectation was to try to maintain a balance in the competition. Even if the overall loss was more than win, at least it could maintain the fighting spirit. So the main force and the cannon fodder took turns to play. The cannon fodder made the opponent relax their vigilance, and the main force occasionally took advantage of the situation to advance and support the situation. But in fact, the first batch of the main force, which was pinned with high hopes, was almost defeated in the first battle. They were suppressed on the field and had no power to fight back. Their performance was no different from that of the cannon fodder, let alone support the situation. Do you think I deliberately baited the master of the Heaven Book Building? Although it is indeed a good thing to take the opportunity to wipe out the evil spirits, wouldn't it be better if they could not even speak from the beginning? "
After listening to Wang Lu's explanation, Hai Yunfan felt a burst of dizziness in his mind, full of incredulity. During this time, he was Wang Lu's working secretary. Most of the documents were presented to Wang Lu through his hands. It could be said that he was the clearest about Wang Lu's layout and plan.
But he had never heard of such an inside story!
"Because I beat them at their own game in time, and I didn't have much confidence in them from the beginning. As soon as I saw that things were not going well, I immediately changed my mind and regarded it as part of the plan. I didn't tell anyone about this except for Supreme He Tu and a few other people, let alone in writing. So, of course, you won't know. But in general, I have been sending the main force to play for the past month, and most of the main force players have lost. "
Hai Yunfan was silent for a long time.
"In this case, even if you personally win the King Pill Battle in the future, what's the point of raising the morale to the peak? It's just to give everyone a fantasy of victory. "
Wang Lu said, "This is what I am doing now. I plan the schedule reasonably and design the lineup. Even if there is only a slim chance of winning, I will try my best to fight for it. This is what I am doing and the only thing I can do. "
"… Is there no one else who can do it except you?"
"Of course there is. There is no lack of excellent bureaucratic talents among the Elders in Heavenly Sage Hall. It is easy for them to handle some routine work, but can I let them take over now?" Wang Lu smiled, "Everyone knows that I am the host of the Wanxian League at present. If I suddenly change people, what will everyone think? Will the morale that has just been raised change? "
Hai Yunfan felt a little heavier.
"… Putting so many problems on you, a King Pill with less than 30 years of cultivation, will probably become the shame of the Wanxian League thousands of years later."
Wang Lu said, "On the contrary, thousands of years later, people will only praise the Wanxian League led by Supreme He Tu for knowing people well and not sticking to one pattern, choosing the most correct person at the most critical time."
After that, Wang Lu stood up, stretched his wrist, and said with a relaxed smile, "Don't worry, although the situation is indeed not optimistic, since I am here, the victory will definitely belong to us."
Hai Yunfan looked at Wang Lu's smile, only feeling that it was as bright as the sun, particularly dazzling.
