I am a professional at killing time travelers

Zheng Qiu shrugged indifferently. At this time, everyone was packing up fruits and drinks.

"Lu Cai'er, go and practice! Bai Lian asked everyone to come over to meet him." Zheng Qiu made some simple arrangements and sat down in the square.

Soon Bai Lian gathered all the disciples in front of the hall.

Zheng Qiu looked at Bai Lian and asked, "How many disciples do we have now?"

Bai Lian stepped forward and said, "Now we have the Heavenly Official, the White Horse Servant, the Moon Rabbit Fairy and the Lustful Pig, and forty people without cultivation in the outer sect. Each of us only recruited ten disciples with outstanding qualifications from outside. I have notified Sihu, but I don't know if he has done it."

Zheng Qiu nodded and looked at Yang Ming: "Your Taoist name is very descriptive!"

Yang Ming was wearing a mask so that his emotions could not be seen, but his shaking hands betrayed his inner thoughts: "This is not my Taoist name, this is a nickname! My Taoist name is Xiantian Nishui Cangjing Xianwei Zhineng Zhide Zhishan Wushuang Zhenren!"

Zheng Qiu was stunned: "That Xiantian... um... the lecherous pig is good! So do we have to call each other by our Taoist names from now on?"

In contrast to Yang Ming who was helplessly sitting on the ground, Bai Lian continued to speak generously: "Yes, even if we don't address each other by our Taoist names, we should still call each other Junior Brother or Junior Sister."

Zheng Qiu thought about it, because his senior brother rarely reported his Dao name when he was out, and some questions arose in his mind: "Why? I think there is really no need to call each other by Dao names. It's more intimate to call each other by names."

Bai Lian explained: "Formality is very important. What you are doing is not a small gang. We must have absolute appeal and let all disciples have a sense of belonging. Dao names are usually given by the master, which can be regarded as a good cohesive force."

Although Zheng Qiu didn't understand, he believed it would be best to leave the matter to someone who did understand.

Zheng Qiu nodded: "Do we have any questions now?"

Bai Lian took out a small notebook and handed it to Zheng Qiu.

Zheng Qiu opened it and looked it up and down, and saw densely packed records of the expenses of the past few days.

Twenty kilograms of spiritual tea cost four hundred top-grade spiritual stones.

Qingshan Spirit Brick and fifty top-grade spirit stones.

The uniform for disciples of a sect costs 200 gold.

The four best-grade jade spirit stones for the formation.

Identity jade token with five top-grade spirit stones.

.......

There are still many things to come. This is only the first day of establishing my sect. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Zhang Huiyu to leave some spirit stones for me.

Zheng Qiu couldn't help rubbing his temples: "Are our expenses so high?"

Bai Lian nodded, "It's bigger than you think. There are still some techniques that have not been implemented, such as the basic techniques for ordinary disciples to absorb qi, the Tiandi Xuanhuang-level cultivation techniques and auxiliary techniques, as well as formations and alchemy methods. Speaking of alchemy, you also need magical herbs and high-quality alchemy furnaces. Although you don't have to worry about the handling fees for low-level magic tools and Xuan-level magic weapons, the materials are also quite expensive."

Zheng Qiu's head was buzzing now: "You tell me a number, I'll see if we can find a way to save money."

Bai Lian chuckled: "Why, you can't handle just a few people?"

Zheng Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "The main reason is that we don't have any way to make money!"

Bai Lian was not wearing a mask and her smile was very sweet. Zheng Qiu just watched his blood sugar rising continuously. For some reason, Zheng Qiu felt like he was being betrayed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zheng Qiu felt a little guilty, and then looked at the statue of the golden bird on the Wuxian Palace, and kept praying.

Bai Lian said calmly: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight! Since you want to establish a power, you must contribute something to this power. Of course, I don't ask you to kill people or set fires, but just refine a few magic weapons. We can make a profit by selling magic weapons in the future, and we are also proud to provide forging services. How much you can earn depends on your skills."

Zheng Qiu suddenly thought of the donkey pulling the mill, round and round, over and over again with no end.

Zheng Qiu rubbed his head and said, "So I can practice whatever I want?"

Bai Lian continued with her professional fake smile: "Of course not! I have taken all the spirit stones. At the end of today's opening, you have to refine a mysterious magic weapon. It requires a spear, and I hope it can have a water attribute amplification."

Zheng Qiu rubbed his hands and said, "Time waits for no one. I will start forging now! The sooner I finish, the sooner I can collect the money."

Bai Lian looked at Zheng Qiu who was eager to try and continued, "A sword! No expected attributes, the more domineering the appearance, the better. A piece of armor should preferably have a recoil attribute. A bow requires no spiritual power of 500 feet. The Mo Dao requires 600 kilograms..."

Bai Lian spoke faster and faster, and more than thirty magic weapons came out of his mouth so easily.

"I don't have much time left to practice!" Zheng Qiu said inwardly with melancholy, and then walked into the weapon refining workshop dejectedly.

Bai Lian looked at the rest of the sympathetic people and continued, "He is in charge of production and we are in charge of sales, so from today on, you all have to get moving. Bai Ma and Yue Tu have the lowest cultivation base, and your Dao hearts are the most unstable, so don't practice these few days, just play! When you have time, let Kikyo come back, and the two of us will set up an illusion array to help you two refine your minds. You have the heaviest task, Sezhu, your family used to do business, so you will be the one selling the magic weapons from now on. I don't know what type of trial you five will enter next time, and your current cultivation is actually meaningless. Each of you will share the responsibilities, mainly from the five aspects of beast, punishment, wealth, medicine, and equipment, just choose what you like."

Bai Lian looked at Zheng Qiu who was working hard to ignite the flame in the foundry furnace, and then smiled sweetly: "He is pretty good, isn't he!"

Sun Ying had a hint of anger on her face: "It's none of your business! Just do your job well!"

Bai Lian looked at Sun Ying with a playful expression: "Yes! So you have to be obedient, then I will give you a chance! Otherwise, my senior sisters and junior sisters will come to visit every day, and you will see if you can still get what you want!"

In fact, Sun Ying has been causing a lot of trouble for Bai Lian these days. The biggest reason is jealousy. Why is Bai Lian a saint who is one level higher than herself, while she is indeed a member of the Heavenly Officials? She always feels that Bai Lian has some ill intentions towards Zheng Qiu.

"What's the big deal? It's just a bunch of cauldrons!" Sun Ying muttered softly.

Bai Lian's face changed, and he was immediately furious: "What did you say?"

"What did I say? Oh! I know! That's right, that's what I said. What's wrong? Don't think you are great just because you are some shitty saint! Sooner or later, Brother Zheng will know who is the best person for him."

What Bai Lian cares about most is that others say she has a Dinglu physique, but she has that physique and has no way to refute it.

"I'm telling you, this is the first and last time! If I hear such dirty words from you again, I believe you will regret it! And if possible, I would rather be a mortal, rather than a cultivator with a dirty mind who wants to get to the top!"

"Who are you talking about who has a dirty mind?" Sun Ying seemed to have her secrets exposed, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

Bai Lian lowered her voice and immediately returned to her usual demeanor, looking like a lady from a noble family: "Don't you know who I'm talking about? We all know! You never wanted the position of a saint, maybe you wanted to destroy someone?"

Zheng Qiu's five clones watched the two girls' quarrel with great interest. At this time, Zheng Bing said, "If you don't scold your mother when you scold someone, it's like fluffing cotton!"

The two girls' faces suddenly changed and they looked at Zheng Bing. Then they realized that Zheng Bing was Zheng Qiu's clone and possessed almost all the memories before the clone. At this time, Sun Ying felt it was a bit weird to see the five people's reactions were so bland.

"You all know?"

Zheng Feng's mouth twitched: "Overpraising? Haha! That's really low-brow!"

Zheng Yuan took a step forward and held Sun Ying's hand: "I don't know why he likes to speculate about others with the greatest malice, but we feel that there is a void and depression in your heart. When you looked at the six of us, the murderous intent in your heart was small but we could all feel it. He and I both believe that time will dilute everything! I will be twice as good to you in the future! Until we die!"

"You don't have to do meaningless things in a low profile! His heart has long been sealed. If possible, I am willing to spend my whole life to make up for you! Until your hatred is gone, until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble. If you really like me, I am willing to spend my whole life with you!"

Sun Ying then realized that everything she had done was so flawed and childish. But looking at Zheng Yuan's face that looked exactly like Zheng Qiu's, she felt an inexplicable hatred, and then a red slap hit her face.

But at this time, Zheng Qiu was concentrating on forging the magic weapon without any distraction, and seemed to be oblivious to what was happening not far away.
