The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 548 - 315: Labor Reform

Fifty-fold dilution. The pig demon had a complexion like clay, and did not want to say anything.

She thought for a moment and proceeded with a seventy-fold dilution. Perhaps this step was a bit too large; the pig demon sniffed and eventually nodded: "Not bad, I can smell the fragrance, but it’s still too strong, it would be better if it were lighter; I feel dizzy smelling it now."

Alright, one hundred-fold dilution! Changtian had already ordered the pig demon to run to a few other levels to breathe some fresh air, and only then did he come back to evaluate the fragrance.

This time, an enthralled look finally appeared on the old pig’s face: "Delightful, truly delightful, this is the perfect scent!"

She observed the pig’s expression repeatedly, making sure he wasn’t deliberately deceiving her, before she finally relaxed her breath. A fragrant, distant, and fresh aroma took over her sense of smell, making her feel as if even within the God Demon Prison, she could sense the vibrant vitality of spring.

The freshest of this aroma even surpassed that of the Miao Xiang Flower; after all, more than thirty other medicinal materials were added during the refining of the perfume paste, including not a few scent-enhancing ingredients. The most marvelous thing was, she tried to activate her Divine Power, and indeed, the speed was faster than usual. The accelerating effect of this fragrance was also effective on the Divine Power of Ba Snake!

With a cheer, she brought this thousand-fold diluted flower liquid down to the bottom level to Changtian and Ning Yu. In front of her beloved and her sworn younger brother, she had to exert all her effort to refrain herself from laughing out loud. The path to wealth was bright before her, and mountains of Spirit Stones were beckoning her.

She giggled and planted a kiss on the cheek of the great contributor Ning Yu. The latter looked timidly at Changtian’s displeased face and wailed, "Sister, I don’t want to die yet," and was about to slip out of the God Demon Prison, but was caught by Ning Xiaoxian.

She immediately wrote a letter to Fatty Qi, telling him to stand by for now. If she was not mistaken, this pandemic would continue to spread and would not end abruptly. Warfare, natural disasters, pandemics - these are all powerful catalysts that shake the commercial system and structure. If this epidemic spreads to the vicinity of Wutuo City, the prices of the ten textile workshops must certainly plummet. By then, people might even beg him to buy from them. Of course, the Qi Family’s business would be affected as well. Fatty Qi is a clever man; after receiving this reminder, he would naturally know what to do next.

As for the manpower issue, they already had a solution.

Now, Changtian has brought up two demons and two Loose Cultivators from the fourth level of the God Demon Prison, including that pig demon. These guys knelt on the bottom floor, not daring to raise their heads.

The multiple-choice question Ning Xiaoxian offered was simple: swear a Heart Oath and then they could be released from prison and assigned to her properties to serve with protectiveness. The cultivation of these prisoners was at its highest at the mid stage of Great Success and at the lowest at the Late-stage Transformation, enough for Fatty Qi to deal with his mortal trifles.

This was exactly what Changtian intended. Ever since she traveled westward, nearly two hundred demons and Cultivators had been caught in the God Demon Prison, with more than twenty of them above the Golden Core Early Stage, and most were managed by Tu Jin acting as Prison Chief on behalf of Chang Tianxing. With a nature both ruthless and decisive, Tu Jin was perfectly suited for this role; the four demons he selected each had their own strengths. To put it in his words, it was time to properly utilize these freeloaders who were just eating prison rations.

The issue of severe manpower shortage was temporarily resolved. Throwing these life-sentenced prisoners out to sell their lives amounted to labor reform.

Between being squeezed to death in the God Demon Prison and becoming mulch, or swearing a Heart Oath to walk the world and enjoy tributes, was there any need to choose in this multiple-choice question? These four who had long been trapped and suffering agony were overjoyed to stab the blood-red dagger into their own chests and then went outside the prison to feel the long-lost sunshine.

In no more than a month, they would be able to reach Wutuo City.

"I need you to do something for me," she said to Ning Yu, "Fatty Qi’s issue, I can resolve on my own, but at the bank in Pian State, I need your help to hold down the fort." Ning Yu’s battle strength was not outstanding, but his strategic management ability was indeed startling. As the saying goes, ’to each their own,’ and having found her niche, she now had both Tu Jin and Qi Zai as great fighters. She might not lose out in fights with others, but she truly lacked a talented person for operational management. If Ruoning could take charge of the rear for her, she would feel much more at ease.
