Hidden moth

Chapter 227: Reincarnation and Return to the World

When Lan Jiuwan heard the voice of the head senior brother, she couldn't help but feel surprised and happy, but also a little shy. She felt as if she had done something bad and was almost discovered. She quickly tidied her clothes before going out.

He Kao didn't wait for her outside the door, and said that they would meet in the martial arts hall on the first floor.

After Lan Jiuwan arrived at the martial arts hall, Ye Liangcheng, having received the notification, also rushed over, and together they went to pay their respects to the headmaster. He Kao first asked a few questions about Ye Liangcheng's recent practice, and then Lan Jiuwan reported on what happened during his time as Li Yu's assistant in Nanhua.

After she finished speaking, she asked He Kao – what should she do next?
He Kao asked in return: "Do you know how to do business?"

Ye Liangcheng: "I used to run a company."

Lan Jiuwan: "I can do anything. If you don't know how to do it, you can learn from me."

He Kao: "Then register a company in your two names first. The money left in the base will be the start-up capital. The specific projects to be operated and the products to be produced will be decided based on your own strengths. You can cooperate with Huishi Group."

This secret base also contains a lot of cash, foreign currency and a small amount of gold. The current total value is approximately equivalent to more than 7 million, which has appreciated compared to the beginning of the year, mainly due to the large appreciation of gold.

He Kao has also been thinking about a question recently. With Ye Liangcheng and Lan Jiuwan's abilities, making a living is absolutely no problem, but since they want to establish a sect organization, they must have their own business.

Ideally, that capital could be converted into means of production, and there was an opportunity to partner with Huishi Trading Group. Huishi Group had a wide range of businesses, was both reputable and strong locally, and was now expanding its product lines overseas.

There is no need for Li Yu and his wife to deliberately give any benefits to Lan Jiuwan to make contact. It depends on what she and Ye Liangcheng are good at. Setting up a company to take over part of the business will be enough to gain a foothold.

It is definitely not enough for just the two of them. As for what kind of business to do and what kind of business team to hire, Ye Liangcheng will be responsible for it. It is better than staying in this abandoned park every day.

Even if the business fails, it is not an unbearable loss. The most important thing is that the process of doing this allows them to return to normal life.

Lan Jiuwan needed to refine her mind and resolve her inner demons, and the same was true for Ye Liangcheng. Ye Liangcheng was a simple-minded person, but his life had been unusual in recent years and he needed to make some adjustments.

But He Kao did not say these words explicitly. He just told them that they could do it, and the specific details would be discussed by the two of them. Lan Jiuwan would be responsible for contacting Huishi Group, and Ye Liangcheng would be responsible for setting up the company.

After finishing the main business, He Kao left two bottles of jade sycamore seeds. He was not partial and gave each person one bottle, with twelve seeds in each bottle, which was just suitable for Ye Liangcheng and Lan Jiuwan to take at the current stage of their practice.

Old Man Jiang once told He Kao that the Jade Wutong Seeds were very suitable for replenishing vitality before breaking through the fourth level, and their efficacy was no less than that of the Yangyuan Pill. He Kao also told the other two the same thing.

The jade sycamore tree in Pugang Town produces sycamore seeds that mature every year, but the years vary. He Kao also harvested them this year. It seems that this is a resource point that Elder Jiang left for Yin E.

Ku Cha also left some pills in the base. After He Kao's identification, they were all suitable for pre-entry and first and second level warlocks to take. They were not of much help to third level warlocks, so he took them away for the time being.

Ku Cha also left behind three tubes of incense, one of which had already been opened and used, leaving a total of 247 sticks. He Kao took the complete tube, which contained 100 sticks, and left the rest to the two of them.

According to He Kao's personal practice experience, lighting a stick of incense to wake up the mind in the quiet room every night when sitting in meditation can help to calm the mind and concentrate the spirit, but lighting one stick is enough. If you light more, the effect will be poor.

Its calming effect is actually better than that of the beast claw pendant... This is already exaggerated. It's not that the awakening incense is exaggerated, but the magical effect of the beast claw pendant is a bit exaggerated!
If the soul is damaged, the most you need to do to recuperate and recover is to light three incense sticks in a quiet room.

Of course, He Kao also reminded the two of them that they should practice daily and light a stick of incense to wake themselves up while sitting at midnight every night.

In fact, this practice is very extravagant. He Kao once bought two tubes of wake-up incense, spending a total of one million. If it weren't for Lin Qingshuang's face, he wouldn't be able to buy it even if he wanted to.

If Lan Jiuwan and Ye Liangcheng both used the Awakening Incense to cultivate, the annual expenditure on this item alone would be over three million. Of course, they didn't have that much Awakening Incense, and the remaining 147 sticks were only enough for the two of them for two and a half months.

The two tubes of incense He Kao bought last time had already been used up, so he took another tube from here today. He didn't mean to take advantage, but he was used to making the most of things. He needed it in his cultivation, so why should he just leave it there?

He had originally thought that after breaking through to the fourth stage, he would no longer need the Awakening Incense to aid his cultivation, but he hadn't expected the need to be even greater now. Today, after attempting to stealth his consciousness, he clearly felt the drain and refinement of his spirit.

This situation is perfect for the use of refreshing incense, and it is best to light three at a time. The tube that He Kao took away today is only enough for him to use for a month.

So what to do after a month? Nothing to do! If I have it, I'll use it. If I don't, I'll forget it. I can still practice as usual - that's how open-minded He Kao is now.

The main ingredient of the incense for awakening the mind is a magical herb called cold needle green, which is not found in the Qihuang Lingyuan, but He Kao found it in the Caiping Cave.

The mountains in Caiping Cave are very high, the terrain varies greatly, and it has various climatic conditions that meet the growth needs of many different spiritual medicines.

In the future, when you have time, you can also refine the awakening incense yourself. If Lan Jiuwan and Ye Liangcheng break through the fourth level of cultivation, they can both try to refine it, at least to meet their own cultivation needs first.

He Kao not only discovered the Cold Needle Jade in Caiping Cave Heaven, but also discovered the Coral Staff. Cultivating the Coral Staff in Qihuang Spiritual Garden required the creation of a special spirit gathering array, but in Caiping Cave Heaven, it grew naturally in a valley.

The Caiping Cave Heaven is very large, and He Kao has not explored it all. There should be coral wands elsewhere, and of course there are more varieties of rare elixirs.

So He Kao "stole" a coral staff from Qihuang Lingyuan, but he was not in a hurry afterwards, because he could have returned another better one to Lin Qingshuang, but Lin Qingshuang didn't want this one.

Blood coral processed with a coral staff is a precious healing elixir. Not only is the material precious, but the skill required to refine it into blood coral is even more difficult. It usually requires a fifth-level herbalist to take action... I hope that when my cultivation level is higher in the future, I will be able to refine blood coral myself.

After explaining all this, He Kao sent Ye Liangcheng away and took out Xue Guanghan to detoxify Lan Jiuwan.

Last time, He Kao exorcised the poison for her in this very martial arts hall, but today, Lan Jiuwan lowered her head and said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed, "It's too empty here, not conducive to concentrating my mind. Can Master Brother perform the spell in the quiet room?"

There was no one else here, and Ye Liangcheng couldn't come over to peek, but the empty environment made Lan Jiuwan feel even more shy.

He Kao didn't object, and went up to the fifth floor with her, into the quiet room. Just like last time, he had Lan Jiuwan kneel on a mat, and the Snow Light in his hand emitted a bright light that shone on Lan Jiuwan's forehead and "flowed" into her body.

Because of her experience, she entered the state much faster this time than last time. In the dark and quiet room, the halo of her body could be seen through her clothes, and she was one step closer to having a skin as icy as ice and as beautiful as jade.

Faint wisps of gray mist dissipated again, and He Kao finally withdrew his magical powers and left quietly. He did not stay long and did not say anything to avoid embarrassing Lan Jiuwan.

Of course, one couldn't be distracted while casting a spell, nor could one have any other, strange thoughts. They possessed this kind of concentration, but after retracting the spell, they could instantly feel the full aftertaste. After He Kao left, Lan Jiuwan couldn't help but collapse on the mat, inadvertently clamping her legs together. She was already soaked, and a fine sweat covered her entire body. This time, she didn't suppress herself too much, and she let out a slight moan through the trembling.

It wasn't painful, but it was just too... It took her several minutes to recover.

Two days later, which was the last day of the holiday, Lan Jiuwan came to the city of Nanhua again and found Li Yu privately to talk about something. She and another fellow student were planning to "start a business" and asked Li Yu for any suggestions.
Li Yu asked her about her ideas in detail and how much she planned to invest. When he learned that it was around five million, he introduced a project to her.

There is a small processing plant, which is not large in scale and only occupies one workshop. It has several equipment including CNC machine tools and 3D printing devices, and employs two operators and four apprentices.

It has recently been unable to continue operating and the owner wants to sell it.

The boss's reasons for wanting to sell the factory are rather complicated. First, he made some money in the past few years, but became addicted to gambling and now owes a large debt that he cannot repay.

The processing plant itself is of little value; the only valuable thing is the equipment. Purchasing a complete set of these equipment would cost tens of millions of yuan, but the value of used equipment is greatly reduced.

Another reason why second-hand equipment cannot be sold at a high price is that the processing industry has been in recession in recent years. Since it is not profitable, who would be willing to spend money to purchase it?
But if Lan Jiuwan is willing to take over the factory, Li Yu can guarantee that it will have work. Huishi Group has the business resources to keep the processing plant running at full capacity.

Li Yu also revealed some unknown insider information. Why did this small processing plant, once very profitable, suddenly face difficulties this year? The main reason was not the industry downturn.

The main business of the factory is to undertake special customization, such as materials, components and parts with special requirements. In many cases, the processing technology is complex and the technical requirements are high, but the market demand is not large, and few manufacturers will specially produce them.

Things like this are definitely not worth opening a special production line, or if there was a production line in the past, it has now been closed for various reasons, but not just anyone can process it.

For example, this factory once took on overseas orders and processed "less important" spare parts for US fighter jets. The orderer did not disclose the actual purpose of the product, but the Huiming Shi family found out.

This is true, the world is so magical! Who would have thought that the spare parts for US fighter jets were actually produced in a small workshop on the outskirts of Nanhua, Dongguo.

Is the product up to standard? According to the performance requirements set by the other party, it will definitely meet them, but the price will be higher.

There are many similar businesses, and the ordering channels are varied. There is no shortage of work, but there is the fear of not being able to do the work when it comes... However, since this year, the processing plant has not been able to take on these jobs.

Huishi Trading will no longer give it any work, and even if it is given some work, it cannot do it. Why is that?

Originally, the factory had a technical director named Shi Haocan, who was a third-level sorcerer from the Huiming Shi family. He was expelled due to punishment from the clan law hall.

The so-called banishment means abolishing one's cultivation and being expelled from the sect. Shi Haocan at least saved his life and was able to live a normal life, but he lost his status as a disciple of the sect and his magical powers.

The original factory owner didn't take charge of the business, so the processing plant was secretly controlled by Shi Haocan.

In addition to the above-mentioned businesses, the processing plant actually also accepts orders related to magic, such as processing some special materials, original components of magic tools, packaging of various special items, etc., but it does not directly process magic weapons.

Warlocks create all kinds of special items. If they can use the latest technology, they will of course try to use it as long as the cost is right, because it really saves effort. Only when magical powers are absolutely necessary will they use human assistance.

Without Director Shi, the processing plant has lost its most important business channel, and even if some of the original business remains, it can no longer be maintained.

The processing plant was not originally the Shi family's business, so Huishi Group did not care about it. When Li Yubin heard that Lan Jiuwan had the idea of starting a business and was thinking about a project, he suddenly thought of this processing plant.

Lan Jiuwan is also a third-level sorcerer. I heard that there are fellow disciples working with her. So many of the original business channels can be handed over to this processing plant again. As long as they can take it over, profits will not be a problem.

Five million, there is no need for Lan Jiuwan to show up. Li Yu can send someone to handle it and transfer the entire processing plant to her.

The transfer primarily involves equipment, with the original staff retained, but the factory building is rented. Coincidentally, the workshop and building the processing plant rents is owned by Huishi Group, offering a preferential rent.

If Lan Jiuwan doesn't have enough money on hand, she can use it first and pay the rent when she makes money.

Lan Jiuwan was delighted when she heard this. Her official identity was a third-level traveler of the Xinpan Sect, but in fact, in terms of cultivation, she and Ye Liangcheng were both third-level appraisers of the Ruwei Sect, so she was the perfect person to take over this processing plant.

Seeing Lan Jiuwan nod, Li Yu proposed that she also invest 3 million in cash to supplement the project's working capital. This meant either Huishi Group or her own personal investment, which would amount to 30% of the shares.

This surprised Lan Jiuwan. She had just said that she wanted to invest 5 million in the project so that she could keep more than 2 million for operating funds. However, Li Yu was very thoughtful and personally paid 3 million to invest.

This project was originally introduced by Li Yu, and many businesses in the future will also be introduced through Li Yu. She is willing to invest out of her own pocket, obviously because she is optimistic about the profit prospects, but she does not want to take control.

Lan Jiuwan thought about it and agreed, and expressed his gratitude on the spot.

Now that it was finalized, Li Yu was very decisive and immediately sent someone to implement it. He smiled and said to Lan Jiuwan, "The group's legal advisor just happened to be here, so he can help you prepare all the relevant documents so that there won't be any hidden debt risks."

Lan Jiuwan also smiled and said, "You don't need to send anyone else to handle this matter. I'm still your assistant. You can send me to handle the specific procedures. I happen to be able to learn more about the situation."

The chief legal advisor of Huishi Group is actually Yao Shaolan.

Although the money had stayed in Nanhua for the past two days, Lawyer Yao came over to take a look in the name of work. After all, since he had received consulting fees from the other party, he had to help deal with any problems.

Qian was in no hurry to leave because he had been involved in exposing Shi Yunlu's conspiracy, and he had personally captured Shi Yunlu. Deacon Zou Tianjin returned to Nanhua injured, and he and Yao Shaolan went to visit him.

On October 8th, after the holiday, He Kao returned to Nanhua and went to work at Huishi Mingpin as usual. He had been assigned by the company to provide technical support, and his work was not yet finished.

Although Qian didn't take it away, he was He Kao's boss, so coming to the cooperative unit was also considered a business trip. After all, he was the top leader and could send himself on a business trip, and the trip would be subsidized.

That evening, Shi Haotu and his wife hosted another banquet, this time it was a small-scale banquet, entertaining He Kao, Qian Guran and Yao Shaolan. There were only six people sitting in the private room, including Shi Haotu and his wife and Lan Jiuwan.
