The wind of the Gobi Desert, carrying sand, struck Li Fan's face.
He looked at the corpses on the ground, then at the heavy sword still dripping blood in his hand, and suddenly felt... a bit embarrassed.
"The system, I worked hard to break through to the middle of the initial stage, and then dragged myself to the limit of the Yuehua Palace's road guards for a long time, and finally ended up with a 'three-year agreement' and the dead bodies all over the ground?" Li Fan couldn't help roast, "Where are the spoils? Where are the explosive equipment? Before the road guards left, they didn't say to leave some Holy Stone as the toll?"
Ding! Detected a strong material need from the host, triggering a hidden task: [Director of the Sect Demolition Office]
Task description: As the initiator of the extinction of the Purgatory Sect (and then its complete destruction), you have the right and necessity to lawfully receive and dispose of the remaining assets of the sect
Task requirement: Within 12 hours, complete a comprehensive search of the former site of the Purgatory Sect, ensuring that no valuable items are spared, including but not limited to: spirit stones, elixirs, martial arts, magic weapons, building materials, spiritual field crops, the base of the Mountain Protection Formation... as well as any private money that the first patriarch may have hidden
Task reward: Based on the 'thoroughness' and' creativity 'of the search, reward players with a B-value of 10000-50000 points and unlock titles such as' Wild Goose Crossing' or 'Locust Crossing'. "
Punishment for failure: None (but the host may die on the way to the chaotic continent due to poverty)
Li Fan's eyes lit up.
Search! Legitimate (?) acceptance!
He's good at this!
However... "Li Fan touched his chin," There should still be many low-level disciples and servants in the Purgatory Sect now, right? Did they all kill them? Isn't it too cruel
He is not the Holy Mother, but he feels that killing a group of weak chickens without resistance is not only lacking in experience, but also may affect his moral character (mainly because it does not fit his persona of pretending to be B).
Ding! It is recommended that the host refer to the first generation patriarch Li Wujiu's "Secrets of Workplace Survival", which includes a chapter titled "How to Save Costs and Maintain Good Reputation during Layoffs"
Li Fan immediately took out the notebook from his storage bag and quickly flipped through the relevant chapters.
It says:
Optimization Plan for Layoffs (Simplified Version)
Convene a general meeting of all employees to announce the strategic adjustment of the sect (in fact, to run away).
Provide a 'voluntary resignation compensation package' (a small amount of spirit stones+a bottle of healing pills).
Emphasize that 'this is not a layoff, but a broader development platform for everyone' (in fact, it means ignoring it).
For those who are unwilling to resign, measures such as "optimizing the work environment" (cutting off water and electricity), "adjusting performance evaluation standards" (improving KPIs), etc. can be taken to encourage them to leave voluntarily.
Finally, it must be said: 'The world is not big, we will have a deadline in the future.' (Actually, we will never see each other again.)
After reading it, Li Fan was filled with respect.
The first patriarch, he is truly a genius in managing ghosts
Just follow this plan!
He immediately set off and flew towards the former site of the Purgatory Sect.
In the mid-term of the initial stage, it is already possible to fly briefly in the sky, although the speed is not fast, it is much stronger than running.
After a moment, the gate of the Purgatory Sect appeared before my eyes.
The formation of mountain protection has already collapsed, and the memorial archway at the mountain gate is askew and in a mess.
The disciples who stayed behind all looked pale and trembling, obviously knowing the news of the complete annihilation of the high-level army.
Seeing Li Fan falling from the sky, everyone was so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic:
Brother Li, spare your life! Brother Li, spare your life
We don't know anything! It's all the elders of the sect who belong to us! "
Please spare us! We are willing to be like oxen and horses
Li Fan glanced over and saw that there were probably more than 200 people left, mostly disciples and laborers from the outer sects of the postnatal realm. There were very few from the primitive realm, and they were all injured.
He cleared his throat and used the magic energy brought by his just breakthrough to spread his voice throughout the entire mountain gate:
Disciples of the Purgatory Sect, listen up
Everyone remained silent like a cicada.
I, Li Fan, came here today not to kill you. "Li Fan stood with his hands down, trying to imitate the posture of the previous company leader's speech." On the contrary, I am here to give you a chance to... choose your life again
The disciples looked at each other in confusion.
As is well known, the high-ranking officials of the Purgatory Sect have gone against the norm, oppressed their disciples, caused chaos in sect management, unreasonable KPI assessments, no overtime pay for overtime, and often delayed year-end bonuses. "Li Fan began to accuse, 'What future does this sect have?!'
Some disciples showed expressions of deep empathy.
Indeed, the treatment of the Purgatory Sect is poor, there are many rules, and the elders often use live targets to vent their anger
So! "Li Fan's words changed," Today, I announce that the Purgatory Sect is officially dissolved
The whole room was in an uproar.
But! "Li Fan raised his hand to suppress the discussion," as a responsible and responsible senior (although only seventeen years old), I will not abandon you and ignore you
I'll give you two choices
Firstly, receive the 'Voluntary Resignation Compensation Package', which includes 10 low-grade spirit stones, a bottle of healing pills, and a simplified version of the 'Demonic Workplace Survival Guide'. Then, go wherever you love, the vast sea leaps with fish, and the sky is high for birds to fly
Secondly, stay and work with me
Li Fan paused for a moment, looked at the puzzled eyes of everyone, and continued to deceive:
I am about to go to the chaotic continent and start a new business! Opportunities are everywhere there, and there are plenty of spiritual stones to manage. As long as you have the ability and motivation, you can succeed
And, my team implements humanized management! Overtime is not mandatory (but voluntary is encouraged), KPI assessment is transparent, performance bonuses are paid in the same month, and there is also a thirteen month salary at the end of the year! "
More importantly, "Li Fan lowered his voice and said mysteriously," I have a partial inheritance of the ancient magic skill 'Swallowing Heaven Demon Skill' in my hands! As long as you perform well and make contributions, you will have the opportunity to learn
Now, the disciples have completely exploded!
Ancient Magic Skill! Transparent management! Thirteen salaries!
This treatment is a hundred times better than that of the Purgatory Sect!
Of course, some people also doubt: "Senior Brother Li... No, Boss Li, are you telling the truth? The chaotic mainland is so dangerous
Danger and opportunity coexist! "Li Fan waved his hand." If you want stability, take the compensation package and leave now! If you want a bright future, come with me to explore the chaotic continent
I'll give you a stick of incense time to consider
After speaking, Li Fan really took out a stick of incense and lit it on the ground.
Then, he walked aside and took out a pen and paper from his storage bag, starting to write the "Magic Road Workplace Survival Guide (Simplified Version)" on site.
The content is basically copied from the notes of the first patriarch, only changing "company" to "team", "boss" to "boss", and adding some chicken soup:
When wandering in the underworld, remember three points: 1. Strength is fundamental; 2. Insight is important; 3. Follow the boss and fight for ten years less
How to determine whether a boss is worth following? Look at whether he can give spiritual stones, techniques, and care about his younger brother's hair (to prevent hair loss)
When faced with danger, be timid if necessary. Only by living can you have output. But when the boss asks you to go up, don't hesitate, that's an opportunity to show off
Finally, remember: Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it's about the ways of the world
A stick of incense burns out quickly.
Li Fan lifted his head.
More than 200 people have been divided into two groups.
A group of about 150 people looked at him eagerly, obviously choosing to stay.
Another group of more than fifty people, with their heads lowered and afraid to look at him, chose to take compensation packages and leave.
Li Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Great! Those who chose to leave, come and collect things now
He distributed a "compensation package" on site: each person had a cloth bag containing 10 low-grade spirit stones, a bottle of the cheapest healing powder, and the "Guide" he had just written.
The person who received the item was grateful and ran away without looking back.
As for those who chose to stay... "Li Fan looked at the 150 people, showing the smile of a capitalist when he saw cheap labor.
Welcome to join the 'Fan Yue Ge' startup team! I am your founder and CEO, Li Fan! "
Now, let's release our team's first collective task - "Li Fan pointed to the gate of the Purgatory Sect behind him and waved his hand:
Dismantle
Within twelve hours, empty all the things that can be moved here
Dismantle the house! Dig the floor tiles! Pull out the spirit grass! Pick the spirit stones on the base of the formation
Remember our slogan: Whatever can be taken away, never stay! Whatever can be sold, never waste
After completing the task, each person will be rewarded with 20 low-grade spirit stones! Those who perform outstandingly will have their rewards doubled and have the opportunity to learn 'Swallowing Heaven Demon Skill: Beginner's Edition' in advance
One hundred and fifty people, their eyes instantly turned red!
20 pieces of low-grade spirit stone! I can't accumulate so much in a year of working in the Purgatory Sect!
There is still a chance to learn ancient magic skills!
Go ahead! Go ahead! Go ahead
Dismantle him
Don't worry, boss! I guarantee to clean even the rat hole for you
These former disciples of the Purgatory Sect are now bursting with astonishing enthusiasm for their work.
They are demon cultivators, and they don't usually do anything serious. They specialize in demolishing homes and digging graves, which is their old profession!
I saw everyone passing through like locusts, rushing into every corner of the Purgatory Sect.
Sutra Pavilion? Move it! Bookshelves, classics, and even jade slips for table legs, all packed together!
Dan Pharmacy? Move it! We won't let go of elixirs, medicine cabinets, alchemy furnaces, and even spirit charcoal for burning!
Refinery room? Move it! Refining furnaces, anvils, semi-finished products, rare metals in waste piles
The disciple's residence? Move it! Bed boards, tables and chairs, night pots (made of copper that can be sold for money), and even decorative paintings hanging on the walls!
Lingtian? Dig! Dig away the spiritual grass roots and soil! Scrape away three layers of spirit mud from the spirit field!
The pedestal of the mountain protection formation? Cut it! Remove all the embedded spirit stones! Pack all the plates and flags!
Even thatched cottages... people go to dig manure pits because the Purgatory Sect uses "spirit tanks", where feces are specially treated and can be sold as low-level fertilizer for money.
Li Fan stood at a high place, watching the bustling scene of demolition, and nodded with relief.
This is the power of a team
He's not idle either.
As a CEO, of course, one must search for the most important core assets.
First stop: Zongmen Treasure House.
The gate of the treasure trove has long been shaken open by the previous explosion, and some of the contents inside have been swept away by the high-level escape.
But the rest still made Li Fan's heart beat faster.
The low-grade spirit stones have piled up into a small mountain, with a rough estimate of over 100000 yuan left!
There are also thousands of mid-range spirit stones!
The top-grade spirit stone... only a pitiful thirty pieces were offered on a jade platform.
Pills, treasures, and materials are arranged in different categories. Although the quality is not high (mainly yellow and mysterious), the quantity is huge!
Sent it! Sent it! "Li Fan laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. With a wave of his hand, he put everything into the system space (expanded to 100 cubic meters now, spending 5000 to install B value).
Second stop: The private caves of the elders of the ancestral masters throughout history.
There are restrictions in these places, but it doesn't deter Li Fan.
Silent Night Thoughts "sound wave attack, specifically breaking various formation restrictions!
The bright moon in front of the bed - broken
Suspected to be frost on the ground - breaking again
Raise your head and look at the bright moon - open it for me
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each cave was forcibly opened.
The things inside opened Li Fan's eyes.
The cave of the Blood Demon Elder: Blood Pool, Skull Head, Human Skin Lantern... It is eerie and terrifying, but there are many valuable things, especially a few bottles of precious high-level blood pills. Although they are from an evil sect, they can be sold for money.
Iron merciless cave: magnificent and luxurious, with three pure gold night pots alone. There are also a large number of martial arts manuals, spirit stones, and... more than ten boxes of female cultivators' bellybands.
Li Fan looked at those bellybands, fell silent for three seconds, and then took them all away.
Abnormal collections are also collections. Perhaps cultivators with special interests are willing to purchase them at a high price
The caves of other elders are similar, all equipped with standard demon cultivators: skeletons, poison, torture tools, spirit stones, and elixirs.
Li Fan refused and packed everything.
Third stop: The Forbidden Area of the Purgatory Sect - Apart from the Abyss, there are several other places.
For example, the 'Blood Refining Cave' is a place where blood puppets are refined. Inside, there are dozens of semi-finished blood puppets and a large amount of refined materials.
Li Fan thought for a moment and collected these blood puppets and materials as well. Although he doesn't know how to refine, he can sell it or... catch a demon cultivator who can refine it to work in the future.
For example, "Ghost Valley" is a place for raising ghosts. Inside, there is a heavy Yin energy, with hundreds of ghosts wandering around.
Li Fan tried the "Moonlight Purification" effect of "Quiet Night Thoughts", but as soon as the moonlight shone, not only were the ghosts not purified, but they also let out a mournful scream like vampires basking in the sun, and their souls weakened a bit.
It seems that moonlight is a poison to them. "Li Fan gave up the idea of collecting ghost souls and dug up all the" ghost wood "and" soul jade "that nourish souls in the valley.
Twelve hours passed quickly.
When Li Fan stood on the empty ground in front of the gate of the Purgatory Sect Mountain again, the scene in front of him... almost made him unrecognizable.
The architectural complex of the Purgatory Sect, originally built along the mountain and stretching for miles, has disappeared.
No, it's not disappearing, it's turning into... a piece of white land.
The house was dismantled into parts and neatly arranged.
The floor tiles were all pried up and piled up into a small hill.
Lingtian has turned into a deep pit, and even three layers of soil have been scraped away.
The base of the mountain protection formation was dug out, like large mushrooms placed on the ground.
Even the memorial archway at the gate of the mountain has been dismantled into stones and stacked separately.
The 150th disciple, with a dusty face but shining eyes, stood on the open ground, looking expectantly at Li Fan.
Report to the boss! "A clever disciple ran over and handed over a thick account book." This is the detailed list of this' material sorting ', please take a look
Li Fan took it, opened it up, and took a cold breath.
[ Lower grade spirit stone: 157430 pieces ]
Intermediate grade spirit stones: 8921 pieces
Top grade spirit stones: 30 pieces
Huangjie Dan medicine: 13452 bottles
Xuanjie Pill: 2876 Bottles
[ Di Jie Dan Yao: 3 bottles (damaged) ]
Huang Jie Treasure: 2341 pieces
[Mysterious Treasure Weapons: 587 pieces]
[ Earth level treasure: 2 pieces (broken) ]
[ Skill Manual: 874 Books (Yellow Stage 762, Profound Stage 112) ]
[ Spiritual Grass Materials: Countless, Classified and Packaged ]
[ Building Materials: Can rebuild a medium-sized sect ]
[Other miscellaneous items: including but not limited to night pots, bellybands, skulls, human skin lanterns, etc., have been separately packed]
This is not just plundering, it completely erases the Purgatory Sect from history, even scraping the land once!
Well done... pretty! "Li Fan's voice trembled slightly.
He waved his hand and began to distribute rewards.
20 pieces of low-grade spirit stones per person, to be redeemed on the spot!
Thirty outstanding performers will receive an additional reward of 20 yuan, and will be taught on the spot the "Introduction to Swallowing Heaven Demon Skill" (simplified version of the system, only the most basic Qi Refining Method).
The disciples who received rewards and techniques were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, and they all said, 'Life is a person of the Moon Pavilion, death is a ghost of the Moon Pavilion.'.
Alright! "Li Fan clapped his hands and said," Now, let's release the second task -
Everyone perked up their ears.
Transport all these dismantled items to Blackstone City and sell them
50% of the sold spirit stones will be returned to the public as a team development fund. The other 50% will be distributed according to contributions
Whoever sells more, gets higher commission
Do you have confidence
Yes!!! "Roared the heavens.
Let's go
So, a strange sight appeared in the northern part of the Broken God Continent.
More than 150 demon cultivators, pushing hundreds of temporary board trucks (made from dismantled beams), piled with various "building materials" and "miscellaneous items", marched towards Heishi City in a grand manner.
At the forefront of the team, Li Fan rode a bony "Swift Wind Demon Wolf" (the only living creature that had not been dismantled) found in the animal enclosure of the Purgatory Sect, full of energy.
When passing by the Gobi Desert where the previous battle took place, Li Fan also scavenged the bodies of the elders and deacons (mosquitoes, no matter how small, are still flesh).
By the way, how did my task go
We are currently evaluating
Thoroughly searched: 99.8% (a spirit stone bag buried three zhang under the thatched cottage was accidentally dug out by a disciple while digging a night pot)
Creative rating: 95 points (using 'Workplace Survival Tips' to achieve peaceful layoffs and efficient demolition)
Overall rating: S
Obtain rewards:
Install B value: 50000 points!
Unlock the title 'Locust Transit' (with a search efficiency of 50% for resource points and a deterrent power of 20%, which can easily trigger collective hatred from other sects). "
Current B value: 65404 points! "
Li Fan smiled satisfactorily.
Another 50000 points have been credited!
Now he has a total of over 65000 points worth of B value, although exchanging it for the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass (100000 points) is not enough, it is still considered a small asset.
System, open the mall and I'll see what's suitable for buying now
The light curtain unfolds.
Li Fan is now wealthy and only watches high-end goods.
[ Heavenly Rank Technique · Remnants ]: 80000 points (unaffordable).
[ Wangjing Experience Card (10 interest) ]: 50000 points (affordable, but reluctant).
[ Ground level flying treasure ]: 30000 points (can be considered).
Xuanjie Ultimate Alchemy Furnace: 15000 points (alchemy? I don't know).
[ Shenxing Versatile Second Layer · Gecko Climbing Wall ]: 10000 points (this is practical!)
[ Three Hundred Tang Poems, Part 2: "Drinking Alone" ]: 20000 points (expensive, but seems very impressive?)
Li Fan thought for a moment and exchanged it for the second layer of "Shenxing Hundred Variations" and "Jiang Jin Jiu".
Ding! Consumed 30000 points to load B value, successfully redeemed! "
[ Shenxing Versatile Second Layer · Gecko Climbing Wall ]: It can walk on vertical walls and cliffs like flat ground, and can walk in the air for a short distance (similar to ladder cloud vertical), greatly improving the ability to move in complex terrains.
[Jiang Jin Jiu]: Li Bai's poem, Wang Jing's sound wave technique, effect: bold and unrestrained, majestic, can inspire one's own morale, suppress enemy spirits, and have special bonuses for alcoholic beverages. Additional special effect [Wine Sword Immortal]: After drinking, it can be used to double its power.
Not bad! "Li Fan was very satisfied.
The ability to escape and attack methods have been improved.
As for the remaining 35000 points, he temporarily kept them as a backup.
The team continues to move forward.
Three days later, arrive outside the city of Blackstone.
Li Fan did not enter the city, but instead stationed his disciples outside the city and sent a few clever ones to bring samples into the city to negotiate business with major chambers of commerce.
He himself found a secluded place to study his newly acquired abilities and... organize the inheritance of the first patriarch.
Firstly, it's the USB flash drive.
Li Fan tried to probe in with his divine sense and found that there was indeed a large amount of information stored inside.
In addition to the PPT presentation for the listing roadshow, there are also:
Five Year Development Plan of the Purgatory Sect (Unfinished)
Optimization Plan for Sect Organizational Structure
Revised Standards for Performance Evaluation of Disciples
[ Magic Road Market Analysis Report (Sky Continent Edition) ]
How to Dig the Bottom of the Wall from the Zhengdao Sect - Headhunting Skills Sharing
...
It is diverse and all encompassing.
Li Fan watched with great interest, although many of the content was outdated, his ideas were very enlightening.
Especially the 'Demon Road Market Analysis Report', which provides a detailed analysis of the strength, territory, industry, and weaknesses of various demon road forces in the Broken God Continent, is simply an encyclopedia of demon roads!
The first generation patriarch is truly a business genius, "sighed Li Fan." It's a pity that he was born in the wrong era. If he were in modern times, he would be a legitimate CEO of a listed company
Then, there are those few bottles of Dijie pill (damaged).
After system authentication, an explanation was given:
Blood Demon Breaking Realm Pill (a lower level product with 70% loss of medicinal power): Originally used as an auxiliary pill to break through the elemental realm, its medicinal power has greatly decreased. After taking it, it may break through to the later stage of the initial realm or reach perfection, but there is a certain probability of causing blood disorders. Suggest using it in conjunction with Purple Gold Magic Vein.
The Nine Transformations Life Pill (intermediate grade, with 50% loss of medicinal power): a healing elixir that can suspend life as long as there is still one breath left. The current pharmacological effect is equivalent to the upper grade of Xuan Jie.
The Annihilation Poison Pill (Ground Grade, intact): It is a strange poison, colorless and tasteless, and can poison and kill cultivators in the Yuan realm. It also has a certain impact on the Wang realm. Use with caution.
Li Fan carefully collected the Poison Pill, which is a good thing for Yin people.
As for the Breaking Realm Pill and the Transforming Life Pill, he plans to wait until the realm is stable before using them again.
Finally, there are those two broken ground level treasures.
One is a small black banner called the 'Hundred Ghosts Banner', which can store and drive ghosts and spirits. However, the surface of the banner is damaged and can hold up to ten ghosts.
One is a blood red dagger called 'Drinking Blood Blade'. After stabbing an enemy, it can absorb essence and feed back to its owner, but the blade has several notches.
They are all defective products, but it's better than nothing.
Li Fan sorted out his things and was just about to rest when his disciples who had been sent to the city ran back excitedly.
Boss! We've made it! We've made it! "The disciple's face turned red with excitement." The money manager of Wanbao Tower is willing to package and purchase all of our "building materials" and "miscellaneous items" at a price of... 200000 yuan for low-grade spirit stones
Li Fan's eyes lit up.
Two hundred thousand! With over 100000 yuan in his hands, his total assets now exceed 300000 low-grade spirit stones!
Although it may not be a lot for advanced cultivators, it is definitely a huge sum of money for a novice cultivator!
Well done! "Li Fan patted his disciple's shoulder," Double the commission
Thank you, boss
In the following days, Li Fan will be stationed outside the city, commanding his disciples to hand over to the Wanbao Tower.
Cars of "building materials" and "miscellaneous items" are transported into Heishi City and exchanged for boxes of spirit stones.
The money manager of Wanbao Tower looked at the "building materials" that clearly had the style of the Purgatory Sect, with a strange expression, but didn't ask much.
Do business, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
He just sighed privately, 'The Purgatory Sect... this has been thoroughly dug up by someone. I don't know which ruthless person did it...'
Ten days later, all materials will be processed.
Li Fanqing's income: a total of 238000 low-grade spirit stones.
According to the agreement, he deposited half (119000 yuan) into the "Team Development Fund" (actually his small treasury), and distributed the other half to his disciples according to their contributions.
Each disciple received at least 500 pieces of low-grade spirit stones! The outstanding ones even received thousands of yuan!
Everyone made a small fortune and was even more devoted to Li Fan.
Boss! Where are we going next? "A disciple asked.
Li Fan looked south, which was the direction of the chaotic continent.
Go to the chaotic continent
That's where we can showcase our skills
Everyone, pack your things and prepare to depart
Yes
The team once again advanced towards the chaotic continent.
Li Fan rode the thin wolf and walked at the forefront.
He turned around and glanced at the gradually receding Blackstone City, then at the more than a hundred howling henchmen behind him, feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
The Purgatory Sect? Extinguished!
Ling Shi? Got it!
Little brother? Got it!
Now, all we need to do is go to the chaotic continent and find the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass, cure Su Guiyue, and then
System, do you think it's better for me to start a sect and establish a faction in the chaotic continent, or to be a carefree wanderer and repair it? "Li Fan asked in his heart.
The system fell silent for a moment and then replied:
It is recommended that the host refer to the legacy of the first patriarch - to become bigger and stronger, create new glory, and strive for listing
Li Fan: "
However, before going public, "the system added," it's best for the host to first solve the small troubles at hand
What kind of trouble
Thirty miles behind, there are three Yuan realm breaths rapidly approaching. Based on energy characteristics analysis, they should be the 'friendly neighbors' of the Purgatory Sect and the elders of the' Yin Sha Sect '
They seem to have some objections to your act of packing and taking away all the assets of the Purgatory Sect
Li Fan's face stiffened.
Friendly neighbors? Come and enjoy the autumn breeze!
What is the strength
Two early stages of the Yuan realm and one mid stage of the Yuan realm. With the current strength of the host, combined with 'Jiang Jin Jiu' and newly recruited minions, the chances of winning are 50-50
Li Fan's eyes flickered.
50-50
No, he wants ten open!
Order! "Li Fan shouted loudly," Everyone, stop moving forward! Prepare... to welcome the guests
He wants to see who doesn't have eyes and dares to come and steal Li Fan's things!
