It could be said that Chu Xingyun's only luxury item was the Ice Essence Wine. However, that was brought from the True Spirit Continent. What did it have to do with the Universe World?
Besides that, Chu Xingyun's food, clothing, housing, walking, sitting, and sleeping were all ordinary to the point he was no different from an ordinary commoner. No matter how much money he earned, it was all spent on the Dao of Talismans.
But now, Chu Xingyun's capital chain was broken. Under the five elites' move, Chu Xingyun was no longer able to obtain the slightest profit from the arms trade.
Although the Demonic Spirit Clan's warehouse was filled with spirit stones, those were the clan's wealth.
If they used that wealth, then the Demonic Spirit Clan's capital chain would be broken. Once the Demonic Spirit Clan stagnated, then Chu Xingyun's Abyss strategy would be completely ruined.
Although the Demonic Spirit Clan had a lot of wealth, their development potential was also enormous.
Even if they threw in all their wealth, it would still be far from enough. How could they use it?
Now, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but sigh in admiration. This slap from the five elites was truly ruthless.
Moreover, even if he suffered this slap, Chu Xingyun couldn't resist. After all … the other party stood at the highest point of morality and could easily crush Chu Xingyun.
With a sigh, Chu Xingyun looked at the old craftsman in front of him and said, "Alright, I can't stop you now. I wish you a bright future and smooth sailing."
Looking guiltily at Chu Xingyun, the old craftsman said, "Everyone else will leave, but … us old fellows won't leave. We'll stay and guard the ancestral tomb."
Eh?
Looking doubtfully at the old craftsman, Chu Xingyun said, "You won't leave? How is that possible … if you don't go, how will you manage those hundred thousand craftsmen? "
With a sad smile, the old craftsman said bitterly, "Not everyone is as pragmatic as you. In fact … if we go, those craftsmen really won't be able to manage."
Eh?
Looking doubtfully at the old craftsman, Chu Xingyun didn't understand for a long time.
These thousand old craftsmen were once the most skilled craftsmen on the island and had the most prestige. Otherwise, how could those hundred thousand craftsmen be so obedient and listen to their orders?
However, they were now old and weak. They could no longer engage in manual labor, so they switched to management.
It was precisely under the supervision of these thousand old craftsmen that the hundred thousand craftsmen didn't dare to be lazy and slack. Otherwise, how could people's laziness and laziness be defeated so easily?
Soldiers, they worshipped martial Dao powerhouses.
Craftsmen, on the other hand, naturally admired people with exquisite skills and rich knowledge.
Without these thousand old craftsmen, who would be able to subdue those hundred thousand craftsmen? No matter which angle, these old Craftsmen would be helpful to management!
Wait …
After a moment Chu Xxuan was Old craftsmen was Lin Yun was Old craftsmen was long?
There was only one situation in which these thousand old craftsmen would become obstacles. That was when some people from the military wanted to fight for power!
If these thousand old craftsmen also went, then there was no doubt that all the craftsmen would listen to the arrangements and orders of these old craftsmen.
However, from the military's point of view, their way of thinking might be different.
As a military factory directly under the military, they would definitely want to be completely controlled by the military. They wouldn't want all the craftsmen to band together and form their own faction.
If they wanted to completely control the factory, they would have to control it from the grassroots level. All the officials and managers would have to be sent by the military.
If these old craftsmen also went, they would have to perform the same functions as the managers sent by the military.
In that case, who would all the craftsmen listen to? Would they listen to the 1,000 old craftsmen or the managers sent by the military?
Indeed, just as the old craftsman had said, if they really went over, they would really be unable to manage it.
As the highest authority in the military, the military was usually very cautious.
Being cautious was not a derogatory term, but an objective statement. Being cautious was also very important. Without being cautious, how could one be pragmatic?
However, Chu Xingyun was different. He cared about the results and was only pragmatic.
Chu Xingyun had entrusted the 1,000 old craftsmen with the tasks of being cautious, and they could also carry it out very well.
However, Chu Xingyun was only one person, while the military was a whole. They had their own rules that could not be broken easily.
Seeing how Chu Xingyun was deep in thought, the old craftsman lowered his voice and said, "Not only that, when everyone was moving, we discussed and collectively deleted the 36 Celestial Craftsmen from the genealogy."
What! You guys …
Chu Xingyun could not help but be shocked when he heard the old craftsman. He did not understand why these old craftsmen were so loyal to him. He had not done anything.
The old craftsman pursed his lips and said, "What do those people from the military know? They only care about benefits and are never willing to invest in research. You're the only one who's pragmatic, and pragmatism is the most important quality for craftsmen. "
Chu Xingyun spread out his hands and smiled bitterly. "I'd like to continue my research too, but all the craftsmen have left, and the capital chain has been cut off. Even if I want to continue my research, I can't continue."
The old craftsman shook his head and asked, "How can your income be cut off? This Heavenly Craft Island belongs to you, so even if the Emperor comes, he has no right to take it back. The profits will be spread out, but it's still not cheap. "
After hearing the old craftsman, Chu Xingyun slapped his thigh and asked, "Are you talking about the Arrow Bamboo?"
The old craftsman nodded and said, "Your Strong Wind Sharp Gold Rune was designed with the Arrow Bamboo as the foundation. Without the Arrow Bamboo, the rune is useless."
Ou Yangming nodded. That was indeed the case. The Strong Wind Sharp Gold Arrow used the Arrow Bamboo as the shaft and the bamboo leaves as the arrow feathers. Even the arrowhead was only the tip of the bamboo that was cut diagonally from the bamboo pole.
The Strong Wind Sharp Gold Rune could only be used to refine Strong Wind Sharp Gold Arrows when paired with the Arrow Bamboo. Other materials could not be used at all.
Chu Xingyun looked worriedly at the old craftsman and asked, "Are you sure there's no problem with the 36 Heavenly Craftsmen? You must know that this secret can't be hidden forever. "
The old craftsman sneered and said disdainfully, "We're not trying to hide it. They've been banished by us, so they're no longer Heavenly Cloud Craftsmen. Besides …"
The old craftsman looked at Chu Xingyun and said with a smile, "We've told the military that the 36 Heavenly Craftsmen are your followers, so they're your private property. Even the military can't touch them."
Upon hearing the old craftsman's words, Chu Xingyun was overjoyed.
The military was powerful, but they dared not seize private property.
Private property was sacred and inviolable, and it was the basic bottom line for humans to reproduce and develop.
If the rule could not be guaranteed, the race or force would be destroyed right away.
Robbing a civilian's private property without guaranteeing his personal benefits was definitely a perverse bandit's style.
Humans would rather be destroyed by demons and devils than fall into such a situation.
Back when Heavenly Emperor Reincarnation took over the Humans' authority and established one of the Five Emperors, he and the other four Emperors swore on the Great Heart Demon Oath.
