Various parties were invited to the meeting. The location of the meeting was not in the Nether Realm, but the planet that Hao Defang relinquished her jurisdiction over. Miao Yi renamed the planet South Town Star.
The purpose of the meeting was to give up some profits. He originally planned to keep the new store as his private property, but he had no choice but to do so when his grand strategy was shrinking. The general store was not like the new Starbell, where it could be sold anywhere. The general store's sales channels had to be opened in order to make money, and most of the control of Celestial Street had been given away. Without the protection of the government, there was no way he could keep the general store if he did not let those giants have a share. How could he continue to operate if he was constantly troubled?
However, with Hao Defang's protection at the frontline, Miao Yi would not give up without a bottom line. He would keep the twenty percent he promised the Vitality Sect and keep thirty percent for himself. As for the remaining fifty percent, it would still be given to those people for free. He would use the original assets of the Vitality Miscellaneous Goods as a condition to buy shares. It would be a waste not to take out the ready-made shops. Miao Yi could not take out a huge sum of capital to start a new shop and share it with those people for free. With his current strength, there was no reason for that.
Miao Yi did not personally participate in the meeting. The bottom line of the negotiation was clear, and the specific negotiations were left to Xu Tangran. He told Xu Tangran to be more forceful, and if anyone thought it was too little, they could just leave.
With Miao Yi's bottom line and not giving in, the final result of the negotiation could only be like this.
At this point, Miao Yi finally got back the 20% of the Vitality Store that belonged to him, with an extra 10%. Even though he still had to think of a way to give that 10% to Huang Fujun? Y, the Vitality Store back then was not as big as it was now. Overall, Miao Yi still made a profit. The Vitality Sect got 20% of the shares, and it could be said that Miao Yi helped the Vitality Sect to get back the benefits they deserved.
In Miao Yi's own words, 'I will take back what I lost with my own hands', and he did it.
If the old did not go, the new would not come. Miao Yi officially changed the name of the new store to the Vitality Store, and completely got rid of the general store name.
The Vitality Sect established itself on South Town Star, and officially became Miao Yi's force.
In the Imperial Garden, it was quiet among the jade buildings. Only Master Qing and an old monk were walking side by side, and no one else approached them.
The old monk was stout and had a kind face. He wore a golden monk robe and was barefooted. He had a calm and elegant aura.
The old monk was none other than the Lord of the Buddha Realm.
Qing Zhu walked with his hands clasped behind his back. Buddhist Lord held the burnt hairpin in his hand and examined it for a long time. He sniffed it repeatedly and said with a calm tone, "Are you sure it's the Undying Wood?"
Qing Zhu nodded. "It matches the characteristics of the legends, so it should be true."
The Buddhist Lord handed it back to him. "Haven't found it yet?"
Qing Zhu shook his head. "Even if I find someone, I won't be able to use it all. I won't use it behind your back. You will definitely have a share."
Buddhist Lord: "You have misunderstood This Penniless Monk's meaning."
Qing Zhu smiled faintly and sighed. "The clues stopped at the Heaven Valley Gate. We don't know who kidnapped the people from the Heaven Valley Gate. Currently, the Xiahou family is the biggest suspect. The Xiahou family has the most ability to do this, but we don't have any evidence or clues to prove that it was the Xiahou family who took them away."
The Buddhist Lord fell silent.
Lord Qing glanced at him and asked, "Is there still no response from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda?"
The Buddhist Lord shook his head. "Nothing unusual! Sigh, those people who chased after the Third Brother's doppelgänger all those years ago, how could they suddenly lose contact with all of them? After chasing for so many years in the vast starry sky, even if he was still alive, he would have lost his way long ago. Do you think Third Brother's clone can find the way back? "
Qing Zhu: "The Third Brother's doppelgänger is definitely still there, and he can definitely come back. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so quiet in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Do you think the Third Brother is someone who sits and waits for death?"
The Buddhist Lord put his palms together and asked again, "Do you have any clues about the place where the Demon Monk Nan Bo's soul is sealed?"
Qing Zhu: "This matter can't be rushed. Speaking of this, that Yu Luocha on your side seems to be running to the search area more frequently. Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
The Buddhist Lord: "She is a survivor of the Nanwu Gate, and her fear of the Demon Monk Nan Bo is stronger than ordinary people. It is understandable that she is worried about this. You don't suspect that she knows where the seal is, do you? If she knew, she wouldn't have waited for so many years. "
Qing Zhu didn't say anything more.
In front of them, Shangguan Qing appeared at the intersection. When the two arrived, he reported, "Your Majesty, Sima Zuo requests an audience."
Qing Zhu nodded at the Buddhist Lord, and the two separated. The Buddhist Lord continued to walk forward, while Qing Zhu and Shangguan Qing left.
In the imperial garden, Sima Wentian and Qing Zhu met and greeted each other. "Your Majesty, there is news from the scouts."
Qing Zhu said indifferently, "Speak!"
Sima Wentian: "According to the scouts, the reason why Niu Youde gave up most of his power in Celestial Street was because he saw Your Majesty withdraw the imperial guards' control over the central area of Celestial Street. He knew that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold among the various forces, so he voluntarily withdrew to avoid trouble. The reason why he didn't give up his power in Celestial Street was because he had reached a secret agreement with Hao Defang. The reason why Hao Defang agreed to cooperate with him was not because of the previous public announcement, but because Niu Youde has the refining method of the new Star Bell that allows him to communicate with many people at the same time. The refining method of the new Star Bell seems to be related to those who helped Yun Zhiqiu make jewelry. Niu Youde gave half of the profits of the new Star Bell to Hao Defang … "
"The new Star Bell?" Qing Zhu interrupted, a little surprised.
Sima Wentian: "Yes. It is said that one of the new Star Bells can hold up to ten thousand of them, and can store the transcendence seals of ten thousand people. There is no longer a need to carry a large number of Star Bells around."
Qing Zhu narrowed his eyes, realizing the huge profits involved.
Sima Wentian observed his reaction, then continued reporting: "Niu Youde also promised to secretly support Hao Defang with the netherworld army to prevent a second Teng Fei and Cheng Taize from appearing. Hao Defang gave control of Celestial Street to Miao Yi, and at the same time, the southern army will act as Niu Youde's frontline security. They will not allow anyone to cross the southern army's territory to attack the netherworld army. She also agreed to let Niu Youde cultivate in the Primordial Wasteland. That is the general situation. "
Qing Zhu's face darkened. Miao Yi's withdrawal of troops to Celestial Street and concentration in the southern army's territory had caused quite a commotion. He had asked Yuan Venerate Qing to look into it, but Yuan Venerate Qing had heard nothing about the new Star Bell, the support of the netherworld army and the southern army, or the cultivation of the Primordial Wasteland.
Qing Zhu felt that something was amiss. How could Niu Youde believe Hao Defang's bullsh * t promise and give up on such a huge benefit in Celestial Street to concentrate his troops in the southern army's territory? That was why he had asked Sima Wentian to investigate. It turned out that things were not as simple as they seemed. Niu Youde was actually hiding such benefits from Yuan Venerate Qing.
This was the first time Qing Zhu realized that Miao Yi had started to hide some important matters from Yuan Venerate Qing. This was not something he wanted to see. Otherwise, why would he support Miao Yi's forces?
Even Shangguan Qing furrowed his brows. Yuan Venerate Qing had reported this information to him, so he naturally knew that there was a discrepancy in the information. He didn't know if Miao Yi had hidden it or if Yuan Venerate Qing had hidden it from him.
After a moment of silence, Qing Zhu coldly asked, "Did his concubine secretly report this to you?"
Sima Wentian replied, "Yes! Other than her, no one else can find out about these secrets. "
Qing Zhu was doubtful. "Why would Niu Youde tell his concubine about such important secrets?"
Sima Wentian understood what he meant and smiled bitterly. "I had my suspicions at first, but Niu Youde is indeed a little different from others. He doesn't seem to hide his situation from his wife. Not to mention these things, his wife even openly interferes with military and political affairs. This has always been the case. Of course, in the end, the spy has already gained Niu Youde's true trust. It's not easy to gain his trust either. Niu Youde only has one wife and one concubine so far. I haven't seen him touch any other women, so I can see how careful he is. "These words were also complimenting the Left Division for doing a good job.
"Hmph!" Qing Zhu coldly snorted. "That bastard is despicable. I helped him up, but he actually wanted to hook up with Hao Defang!"
Sima Wentian said, "According to the spy, Niu Youde sensed danger when the four armies were preparing to attack the underworld. Niu Youde seemed to have some complaints when he saw that Your Majesty had no intention of taking action. That's why he decided to give up on his benefits and find a way to protect himself."
"Hmph!" Qing Zhu coldly snorted again and reminded, "Protect the spy by his side well. Don't expose him. He'll be of great use in the future!"
"Understood!" Sima Wentian acknowledged.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other forces were mainly focused on the Undying Tree and wouldn't have much of a reaction to his actions, Miao Yi acted decisively and decisively. This series of actions quickly stabilized the Netherworld Army's foothold in the world. It bought him time to fully digest this army, even though he had to sacrifice a lot of benefits.
Yun Zhiqiu was quite impressed by this. He felt that this was one of Miao Yi's strengths. He didn't hesitate to make a move at the most crucial moment, and resolutely and decisively resolved any problems that kept pestering him. This decisiveness was something that Yang Qing couldn't compare to. There were some things that Yang Qing thought too much about. When he thought of a problem, he would always have to consider all aspects.
In Yun Zhiqiu's opinion, this was the kind of decisiveness a man should have. Although Yang Qing was smart and had many tricks up his sleeve, he was too calculative and wouldn't be able to accomplish great things.
This was especially true for the tens of millions of troops of the Netherworld Army who had fallen into this predicament in fear.
Miao Yi quickly resolved the crisis that the Netherworld Army was facing. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and he also won everyone's approval of this commander-in-chief's abilities. They acknowledged that Miao Yi could protect them. Everyone began to get used to this place, and the worried family members also began to relax.
Yun Zhiqiu and the other women also had the leisure to play around.
Within the silent cultivation room, the smoke from the Undying Tree rose in spirals. Yun Zhiqiu, Qian'Er, Lin Pingping, and Fei Hong — the four women — were all naked. They hid inside the room and bathed in the smoke, their faces filled with enjoyment.
