Daqizong

Li Wan sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me, okay?"

Xiao Qingning said helplessly: "Okay, tell me."

Husband and wife are one body, and this trouble has come to this point, body, love, money, dowry... everything that should be given or not, has already been given, and it is useless to regret it, Xiao Qingning can figure it out, her husband is just making it clear For myself, don't cry or make a fuss, let's see what he has to say.

But he made up his mind in his heart, this matter still depends on the decision of the workshop, it doesn't mean that if you want to pull yourself down from the big position, you just pull down from the high position, in the end, it's the husband and wife who wrestle with each other's arms, which is more capable.

In fact, as smart as she is, she no longer expects to have any satisfactory answers. In the end, everyone has to rely on their own abilities.

"I did this for your own good." Li Wan repeated again, "Qingning, do you know that with the workshops you created, no matter how much spirit jade you earn and how much power you develop, it's nothing but nothing. Yes, instead of doing this, it’s better to retire and enjoy life in peace, at worst, you can help me.”

Xiao Qingning snorted secretly, no matter how virtuous and virtuous she is, her husband has denied her efforts over the years, and she has to be angry, but she didn't hear it at all.

Li Wan seemed to see her intentions, and said: "Don't think that this is my nonsense, just think about it, where is the foundation of Tiangongfang's business? That’s it, no matter how big an industry is, without the protection of a real strong man, it’s nothing but a castle in the air.”

Xiao Qingning's pretty face was full of dissatisfaction: "How come, our Xiao family..."

Li Wan interrupted her coldly: "Your Xiao family is just a distant relative who is powerful and powerful, that's all!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qingning clenched her silver teeth tightly, sparkling in the eye sockets, but she tried her best not to let the tears flow down.

This husband is so irritating, he thinks that he has already formed a pill, so he doesn't pay attention to people!

Li Wan sneered and said: "Don't be unconvinced, what I said is the truth, and you should know better than me about your own situation."

Xiao Qingning said: "Even so, it's just that there are few masters. In our Xiao family, there is a third uncle who is a master of alchemy, and there are many in-laws. The family is well connected, and they are also alchemists."

With just one sentence from Li Wan, she was speechless: "Is it the in-laws and son-in-law like me?"

Li Wandao: "Do you really think that without the protection of the Xiao family of Yuchan Palace and all allies and in-laws, you can develop to where you are today just by operating Tiangongfang in the Seven Kingdoms and Three Plains? And, even if you What it is like now is just superficial prosperity. Let me ask you first, Tiangongfang has supported so many monks, how many percent are your own clansmen, and how many percent are allies of other families, relatives-in-law? , vassals, and how many percent are casual cultivators traveling to and from the eastern part of Tiannan? You are just doing business in the world of self-cultivation, struggling to survive with extraordinary skills and ingenuity!"

Xiao Qingning's complexion was pale, and in this pallor, a bit of embarrassing blush appeared involuntarily, mixed with unwillingness and resentment.

But she also had to admit that what Li Wan said was not unreasonable.

Weak stems and flourishing branches, putting the cart before the horse, is really unfavorable. This is a sign of decay that cannot be concealed by any superficial prosperity.

The strength that does not belong to oneself, after all, does not belong to oneself.

The foundation of Tiangongfang's business has always been in the middle and lower levels of the cultivation world, and most of the magic weapons produced are magic weapons. It is difficult for the workshop to recruit master craftsmen and famous teachers who can refine real weapons. Dan masters and the like can only coexist in the form of cooperation.

There is no other reason, it is because Tiangongfang is not a powerful family force, and with its background of strength, it is not enough to accept all monks who have formed alchemy under its command.

If Tiangongfang is really strong, it will not make huge profits from real artifacts and treasures, and focus on magical artifacts; They can be controlled now; if Tiangongfang is really powerful, they won't be bullied by Wu Yezi and come to the door like no one else around.

Taking another [-] steps back, even if Tiangongfang is indeed several times stronger than it is now, it is still strong as a whole, and there are still many internal disputes. In fact, these are not in Xiao Qingning's interest!

Li Wan keenly hit her fatal spot, and suddenly said: "Since Xiao Henggong's generation, Tiangongfang has never produced a master in the late stage of alchemy, let alone a master of Nascent Soul!

I have read the annals of the major Lingfeng sects, and consulted master Yan Feng and other experts. I found that since the middle ages, most of the Lingfeng, small and medium-sized families, and casual cultivator alliances have established alchemy monks as their ancestors.

Of course, the alchemy cultivator I am referring to is a free person who has a mid-to-late stage cultivation, and the quality of the true alchemy is above the middle level, and has the potential for improvement. Aunt Feng and Uncle Zhong are created by using the dead man's secret method or various radical methods. Experts are not included here, Qingning, do you know why? "

Xiao Qingning said weakly: "The low-grade true alchemy belongs to the ranks of servants and low-level servants. Even if you are promoted to the alchemy, you will lose the potential to go further. Even if you are promoted to the late alchemy, you may not be the opponent of the monks in the early and middle stages of alchemy!"

Li Wandao: "That's right, it's not easy to form an alchemy, and you have to pay a price if you go against the sky. If it's just the difference in strength and potential, it's not a big deal. The key is to forcibly cultivate masters. The cost is too high, far less cost-effective than a long stream of water , Moreover, the low-grade qualification alchemists cultivated by various methods do not have an advantage in terms of longevity, and the value of being able to repay the feedback force is not high."

When he said this, he seemed to be joking, and took a look at Xiao Qingning: "The general Lingfeng forces and small and medium-sized families don't need such people. They would rather use their resources on potential juniors. They need to cultivate such low-level qualified masters." Yes, either they are strong and don’t care about this consumption, or they lack of alchemy monks who can be promoted normally, there is really no other way..."

Xiao Qingning remained silent, ignoring his banter.

Li Wan said again: "According to the ancient system, one master in the middle and late stage of alchemy is the mainstay, ten masters in the early and middle stage of alchemy are the backbone, and hundreds of masters in the late stage of foundation establishment and even the consummation are the minions, who build the foundation. Thousands of masters in the early and middle stage are for flesh and blood, and more than [-] monks in the Qi refining stage are for wings... This kind of configuration of one party's forces has been the same since ancient times.

Li Wan has not traveled to many places, but he has a lot of knowledge. He also has knowledge from various places and ancient books, and he has a general understanding of the talents and wealth owned by one party.

"You are actually very clear, clearer than anyone else! Qingning, do you know? We used to discuss the situation in your mansion and talk about the situation, and I knew at that time that you are a real heroine Yes, but you also have shortcomings, otherwise, you wouldn't be trapped in this corner of Tiangongfang, being tightly restrained by the elders and others, and you would not be able to make great achievements."

Hearing Li Wan talk about her shortcomings, Xiao Qingning couldn't help turning her head, showing a bit of curiosity.

Li Wan said bluntly: "You once said that they are short-sighted and have no measure, but in fact, why don't you reflect on yourself, do you have the strength and courage to abandon them and do it yourself? You have the confidence to let the Xiao family get rid of the elders Are you restricting us, **Tiangongfang? Do you have the courage to fight against dissidents, or even clean it up?

you have not!You don't have any of these abilities!However, I can't blame you, because you know very well that doing so will make Tiangongfang mess up. Tiangongfang is not your monopoly, and it is not even controlled by the Xiao family. It belongs to all the elders, and even belongs to all refining Teachers, all handymen, apprentices, and guards!

All you can do is to balance all parties, actively seek profits, and use the profits gained from expanding outward to control this power.But this kind of control cannot be achieved by yourself. If there is someone else in the Xiao family who replaces you, everything will still be carried out smoothly according to the old rules, and even the performance is no worse than you.

Once your routine is seen clearly, you will have no exclusive advantage. I even heard that other workshops are actively learning the various regulations of your innovation workshop. It doesn’t take too long. It’s similar to Tiangong Workshop Your workshops will become everywhere, even if you have the advantage of being one step ahead, it is just that there are more workshops than them, and merchants and customers are more interested in your signs. Next, you may fall into various open and secret battles , if others have a strong background and rely on their strength to rise, how can you stop them? "

In fact, Li Wan used a lot of sophistry here, firmly grasping the point of "I did this for your own good".

In order to clarify it, Li Wan first warned Xiao Qingning that the Xiao family and Tiangongfang were not as powerful as she imagined, and they were not the ideal hometown for her to develop her talents. Even if she gave up, it would be a pity. Even if the Xiao family and Tiangongfang leave her, as long as the successor strictly abides by the old rules and focuses on imitating, they can still develop as before. The third point is more direct, pointing out the major challenges that Tiangongfang will encounter in the future development. crisis.

This crisis is imitation!

Although Xiao Qingning is amazingly talented, but the geniuses of other families are not just for nothing, how could they not see that Tiangongfang is thriving now, and why?

Although in a short period of time, the other family does not have so many loyal deacons, stewards, nor enough handyman apprentices, but it only takes more than [-] years to cultivate the next generation of mortals. Mode, they can afford to wait.

At that time, after hundreds of years of groping and exploration by the ancestors of Tiangongfang, the path of exploration will be discovered and chased by others in just a few decades.

It's not an exaggeration for Li Wan to say that Tiangongfang and Xiao's family are her corner, because when all the heroes come together, although Tiangongfang will not be completely defeated, but if it wants to maintain its current advantage, But it is absolutely impossible, and it is even possible to be dragged into the quagmire of vicious competition by other families' wanton imitation, and become mediocre.

The reason why Xiao Qingning is eager to expand is actually because he wants to expand the momentum as much as possible before the deadline arrives. When the time comes, whoever has more workshops and more handymen will be Xingzun. (To be continued.)
