Chapter 661: Distribution

Yan Buji is busily preparing a series of tasks for the trade route, but someone has found him again.

"Hall Master."

"Isn't that Hall Master Wang of the Law Enforcement Hall?" Yan Buji said with a puzzled expression.

You used to hate me and scold me the harshest; why did you come in person today?

Yan Buji looked behind and saw the Hall Masters and Elders who hadn't left earlier walking over, smiling kindly at him.

"Esteemed guests, you arrived uninvited; do you have any advice?"

"Eh, I dare not accept your counsel." Zhou Wan'an of the Transmitting Skills Hall walked over, smiling: "Hall Master, although you have come to the Paolong Sacred Land... and have not been with us long, you know we are essentially grasshoppers on the same rope."

Yan Buji raised an eyebrow: "You all say that—could it be that even now the Great Sinful Sect would still strike at us?"

"That naturally isn't the case, but you know we have only just joined and our foundations are still shallow; meanwhile Hall Master Yan has the founding master's favor and is valued by the Sect Master, entrusted with important tasks. Is there any place where you need our assistance?"

"Oh."

"So they came to get a share."

Yan Buji pinched his chin, thought for a moment: "Indeed, we are still fellow sect brothers; as a junior brother I naturally won't forget you seniors. But hearing you shout about fighting and killing before, I'm a bit scared."

The surrounding Elders and Hall Masters looked at Yan Buji guiltily, recalling that they had scolded him harshly back then, as if they wanted to kill Yan Buji.

Now they come with smug faces, because they heard these past few days that Yan Buji received the Sect Master's support, with three hundred million low‑grade Spiritual Stones to open a market in Youming Jie, and anyone with a bit of sense knows the profit is enormous.

Yan Buji was originally a businessman; he knew that if he kept everything to himself, someone would be dissatisfied. However, he hadn't yet figured out how to divide the profit. Ultimately this matter is an authority given by the Sect Master; everyone from top to bottom, including the Blood Daoist and the founding master, must get a share, otherwise how could he manage it later?

Not only these original Elders and Hall Masters, but also future department heads of the Great Sinful Sect; if they aren't fed, someone will inevitably cause trouble.

Therefore, after considering many factors, Yan Buji did not calculate the exact amount of profit, but made an initial allocation.

Since these people are eager, their connections and resources can handle some matters, so he need not do everything himself.

By taking this stance, he hopes they understand that he now represents the main source of future profit for the Great Sinful Sect; if they are unwilling, Yan Buji will not involve them.

Zhou Wan'an seemed to see Yan Buji's meaning, and immediately presented a storage bag: "Ah, I previously misunderstood Hall Master. On behalf of everyone I apologize to Hall Master! It's a small token, please accept it."

Yan Buji nodded satisfactorily, took the storage bag and scanned it with his spirit sense.

"Whoa?"

A full thirty thousand mid‑grade Spiritual Stones!

Although for a Nascent Soul cultivator this many Spiritual Stones could equal a fortune, the fact that so many are willing to give shows no real loss, yet Yan Buji still chose to accept.

"Hmm, I think this is also a misunderstanding," Yan Buji smiled. "Although I am valued by the founding master and the Sect Master, some matters still need to be agreed upon in advance. The sect has not yet assigned duties, so I don't know which trades you will handle in the future."

"We will definitely support the sect's arrangements!" Zhou Wan'an quickly affirmed, and the surrounding Hall Masters hurriedly nodded.

Yan Buji shook his head: "I mean we still don't know what goods Youming Jie needs, so I'll find a chance to investigate. As you can imagine, you alone cannot take it all. There are others, not to mention the shares for the Sect Master and the founding master, so at most I will give you a twenty‑percent share." Yan Buji held up three fingers and said.

"Twenty percent?! That's..."

"Too much? I thought the same."

"No, no, that's enough."

Although twenty percent seems small, for them it's like providing Yan Buji with supply; this kind of secondary resale may earn little per item, but in volume it's not insignificant.

Moreover, they now have the Great Sinful Sect behind them and can act under the Blood Daoist's name; any short‑sighted sect would certainly not let them get away with it!

Yan Buji smiled: "Everyone, don't think it's too little; thirty percent belongs to the founding master, twenty percent to the Sect Master, and the remaining thirty percent is for the original Elders within the sect. Don't assume I can take that alone."

Hearing Yan Buji say that, Zhou Wan'an and the others were curious: "So Hall Master Yan doesn't profit then?"

"If I do it well, I will naturally profit; if I do it poorly, I won't. But as you know, only after fulfilling the sect's agreed share can we divide the remainder, so remember, how much you earn depends not on me but on the price you can secure."

Several Hall Masters quickly nodded and began discussing details with Yan Buji.

After everyone left, he couldn't help but remark, "Yan Buji truly is a master of business."

Meanwhile, in Lian Dan Tang,

Yan Buji was still pondering the Youming Jie matter.

"If I go to Youming Jie now to do business, could any problems arise?"

Yan Buji thought; he had previously offended some people in Youming Jie, such as Wu Konghou and the Nether God Emperor, none of whom are easy to provoke.

Moreover, Youming Jie has merged into one, seemingly because the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk is not yet fully integrated, making the realm's situation still chaotic.

"So I cannot deal with the new Youming forces; I must go to the Underworld side."

Yan Buji thought carefully; however, having disrupted the plans of Youming Jie cultivators here, he also doesn't know what Mo Dengqing intends, though he did personally capture them.

"I need to ask Mo Dengqing; that guy has an extraordinary background."

Yan Buji thought; although they have become enemies, it doesn't mean they can't do business.

Yan Buji believes that cultivators in this world are driven by profit; Mo Dengqing is clearly the leader of the Youming Jie cultivators who infiltrated the Paolong Sacred Land, though it's unclear where Wang Daolong got the nerve to challenge her.
