Chapter 783: Wai Mao Tang Visitors

After returning to the Sect Mining Area, Yan Buji told the Elders about the ambush.

"Hmm, it seems that person deliberately let Hall Master notice the demonic aura on him, trying to frame the Demon Tribe."

"But what is the purpose of doing so? Though we trade with the Demon Tribe settlements, would we cause trouble for them or even cut off relations without knowing the attacker's identity?"

The Elders spoke so clearly, and Wu Yuan also looked at Yan Buji.

Yan Buji pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said, "Elders, I truly don't know whom I've offended."

"Never mind, Hall Master Yan has labored greatly; now the affairs of the mining area are basically handled by you, so you must not be careless," Wu Yuan said.

"Yes!"

Yan Buji left the council hall, and after returning to his quarters he also wondered whom he had recently offended.

There was none.

Those who bear a grudge either had the sect intervene, or are merely entangled and have little to do with me, so they shouldn't target me.

"Could it be... because I practiced the Nine Turns Technique?" Yan Buji frowned.

The attacker showed a hint of surprise when I employed my Qi and Immortal Essence, yet his strike was not intended to kill, only to test his own strength?

"It may indeed be because of the Nine Turns Technique, but even if it's a forbidden art, after roaming the Five Realms for so many years, why only now does trouble come to me?" Yan Buji was puzzled.

Is cultivating the Nine Turns Technique such a big deal? As for this Nine Turns Technique, I see

Yan Buji has been in the cultivation world for so many years that the cultivators he's encountered number not tens of thousands but several thousand, and he always sees a few guys whose magical power strength doesn't match their talent—could it be that they, too, have practiced the Nine Turns Technique?

Yan Buji has been in the cultivation world for so many years; he has encountered tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of cultivators, and often sees a few whose Qi strength mismatches their talent—perhaps they also practiced the Nine Turns Technique?

Unless those who have listed the Nine Turns Technique as a forbidden skill have a way to detect whether cultivators have practiced it, otherwise after wandering for so many years, why are they only now figuring out what's happening?

Unless those who forbid the Nine Turns Technique have a way to detect whether a cultivator practices it, why would it only now become an issue after my years of wandering?

"It can't be that the Nine Turns Technique causes some change when cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Yan Buji was somewhat puzzled, looking inward at his own Qi strength.

The Qi of the Nascent Soul stage is richer than that of the Golden Core stage, like the difference between clear water and milk, but in fact Qi only changes due to the higher realm; its quantity remains the same as before.

Yan Buji was somewhat puzzled; since breaking through the Nascent Soul stage up to now, Yan Buji has only been meditating in a step‑by‑step manner each day, and now he is even considering raising his Martial Dao cultivation, without further deepening his magical power, and the Nine Turns Technique has not brought him any change.

Yan Buji was still uncertain; since breaking through to Nascent Soul, his daily routine has been merely orderly meditation, and now he is even contemplating raising his Martial Dao cultivation, without deepening his Qi further, and the Nine Turns Technique hasn't brought any change.

"If that person is watching me, I expect we'll meet again."

Yan Buji thought this, relaxed, and continued his practice.

Yan Buji exited the sect again, and upon hearing that the sect had already transferred a group of Wai Mao Tang cultivators, he happened to leave the sect to take a look.

Yan Buji exited the sect again, hearing that a batch of Wai Mao Tang cultivators had been transferred from the sect, and he happened to

"Hall Master!" Huang Ji came over with his people, smiling, and bowed his hands in salute.

"No need for formalities. Huang Ji, long time no see," Yan Buji smiled.

"Hall Master, when I was in the sect I heard you took over as Hall Master of Wai Mao Tang, and I knew we'd have good days ahead."

Yan Buji laughed, "That may be so, but now

"No, we were all cultivated and promoted by Hall Master Yan, and even if it means walking through fire and water, we would not shy away!"

"Walking through fire and water, we would not shy away!" The Wai Mao Tang cultivators looked at Yan Buji with hopeful faces.

Don't underestimate Yan Buji's cultivation; he's only at the Nascent Soul level, yet within the sect he's known by everyone.

It's nothing else; following Yan Buji can earn wealth beyond what you should normally control, and just that, when the sect announced they would transfer people from Wai Mao Tang here, many sect cultivators strained their brains wanting to come along.

Yan Buji laughed, "Since you all have come here to work, it's for the sect. If you handle the sect's affairs well, earning the proper reward for yourselves is only natural. Now that you're here, come with me first to get familiarized."

Yan Buji smiled, "Since you all are here to work, it's for the sect. Handling the sect's affairs well earns you the rightful reward. Since you're already here, first

Yan Buji, leading Huang Ji and other Wai Mao Tang cultivators, went around the mining area to get familiar, and also found Zhou Wan'an and the others to tell them his arrangements.

Yan Buji led Huang Ji and the Wai Mao Tang cultivators to familiarize themselves around the mining area, and also met Zhou Wan'an and others to discuss his arrangements.

Zhou Wan'an and the others had no real discontent; after all the share they now get is enough for them to earn a lot each year, and even if another batch arrives, they can't intervene in their business.

Moreover, the Wai Mao Tang disciples Yan Buji brought are under his charge; as for how he rewards or gives concessions, it doesn't concern them.

"From now on, the matters of the Rabbit Tribe's long‑heart grass brick here will be handled by Huang Ji; whatever is due to him will be given."

"Alright, but aren't there too few people?" Zhou Wan'an asked, looking at Yan Buji.

Yan Buji pinched his chin, "Then, Hall Master Zhou, allocate thirty percent as their income, and I will give half of my half‑finished blazing silk share."

Yan Buji turned his head, looking at Huang Ji and the others, "For the other matters, just follow Hall Master Zhou; when I'm not around you can go to Hall Master Zhou."

Yan Buji turned his head, looking at Huang Ji and the others, "Other matters you can handle with Hall Master Zhou; when I'm absent you can go to Hall Master Zhou."

Zhou Wan'an was pleased to see it succeed; after years of interacting with Yan Buji, he had come to understand Yan Buji's thoughts.

Zhou Wan'an was pleased to see it succeed; after years of dealing with Yan Buji he has come to understand his thoughts.

Yan Buji is an ambitious merchant; he usually doesn't divide his rightful profits, but when he lacks resources, contacts, or a platform, he finds it easier to persuade others to work with him, joining venture investments.

Zhou Wan'an and the others were the earliest to trade with Yan Buji; now they are all fat and prosperous, and Yan Buji never claims how much he personally siphons. When benefits are shared, even those Hall Masters, even the Elders in the Refining Void stage, favor Yan Buji.

After finishing the arrangements for Huang Ji and the others, Yan Buji began to audit the recent trade processes.

He found some minor issues, after reprimanding a few people, Yan Buji decided to head to the garrison city to see how Xiong Ba Tian's side was faring.

"Hall Master Yan, are you going to the garrison city?"

"Hall Master Yan, you'd better be careful; didn't you say earlier that you were attacked? Maybe there are still people keeping an eye on you."

"Then Hall Master Yan, be careful; wasn't it said you were attacked before? Perhaps someone is still watching you."

Yan Buji smiled, "It doesn't matter; fortune or disaster, disaster can't be avoided. One can't stay here forever without going out, right?"

If possible, Yan Buji truly doesn't want to go out. But Xiong Ba Tian sent a message about a huge deal requiring his negotiation, so he must go.

He originally wanted Zhou Wan'an to go instead, but the Wai Mao Tang cultivators arrived, and the matter couldn't be delayed, so he had to go himself.

However, Yan Buji wouldn't be foolish enough to go alone; he invited Wu Yuan to accompany him.

【60】 Thus safety was also ensured.
