You dare to cultivate without money?!

Chapter 1314 - 833: Outsourcing-Friendly Leadership (2)

"Following the other party might offer more benefits, perhaps even further opportunities. But it could also mean... failing alongside him."

"Should we take the gamble?"

...

"Father!" Tu Mu kneeled on the ground before Zhang Yu and said, "I want to give you a son, and pay you child support every month, owing you money for a lifetime."

Tu Mu still decided to stay close to Zhang Yu, at least sticking with him for now to gain more from the development area’s profits, before thinking about the future.

As Zhang Yu looked at Tu Mu kneeling before him, he couldn’t help but chuckle in exasperation.

But he understood that this was the norm in Kunxu, and his own expectations were somewhat unusual.

Zhan Xian said, "Since the matter with the Taizhen Immortal Clan temporarily ended, many have been watching you. It’s better to be cautious. While others might casually collect benefits, if it involves you, someone might make an issue out of it."

Zhang Yu couldn’t help but think to himself, "Are you reminding me again because you’re worried I’d agree to let this Tu Mu have a child?"

The Kao Sect Avatar interjected, "This proposal isn’t bad actually. Serving the sect, by extending the lineage, is our responsibility."

Zhan Xian said, "People’s hearts change. After climbing in Kunxu for so long, it’s hard to say you won’t be influenced. I constantly remind you to remain vigilant."

Fu Ji hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you all talking? I watched him climb up from the bottom; I believe Zhang Yu won’t change."

Zhang Yu didn’t continue to listen to the voices in his head and instead looked at Tu Mu, saying, "Let’s not talk about this in the future. If you want to strengthen the connection with me, work diligently, and contribute to the Immortal and the sect."

A look of disappointment briefly flashed across Tu Mu’s face, and he lowered his head, saying, "I will definitely work hard and not let the leadership down."

Zhang Yu continued, "What I need now are subordinates strong in combat. You... can you fight?"

Tu Mu nearly thought he’d heard wrong.

Can he fight? How many years has it been since he heard such a requirement? When did the criteria for selecting subordinates by leadership become combat ability? Shouldn’t it be about comparing backgrounds, giving gifts, or the ability to make money? At the very least, it should be about work ability; when did it become about fighting?

But Tu Mu quickly said, "My greatest skill is fighting."

Zhang Yu said calmly, "Then let’s give it a try."

With that, Zhang Yu swung his palm, and a force of Cave Heaven Power already swept toward Tu Mu.

A moment later, Tu Mu left the Immortal Cave Heaven covered in dust, thinking to himself, "Vice President Zhang seems quite satisfied with me?"

On the other side, Zhang Yu recalled Tu Mu’s displayed combat prowess in his mind, thinking, "Not bad, among all my Divinity Transformation subordinates, he’s the best fighter."

"For dealing with the Refining Void Corpse Items next, I can have him lead the charge."

...

While Zhang Yu was taking actions in quick succession, subduing subordinates, and managing various cleanup teams.

Deep in the Spirit Realm, Vice President Xie Lanyin, immersed in a sea of information... frowned slightly.

At the moment, she was both interacting with high-level cultivators of various sects to facilitate investment in the development zone and reviewing the latest intelligence on Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu... really a restless fellow."

"Does he not wish to stay peacefully as a mascot and instead wants to meddle in the affairs of the Old Graveyard development area?"

Xie Lanyin’s heart immediately rose with all sorts of vigilance towards Zhang Yu’s actions.

"Indeed, was this time Wanfa planning to use this opportunity to extend their reach into the Old Graveyard?"

When Zhang Yu became Vice President, Xie Lanyin already had such a suspicion in her heart, but she originally thought Zhang Yu’s cultivation was insufficient, and his abilities were lacking, so he couldn’t make it happen.

She even thought Wanfa sent in someone so lacking in strength as a compromise born out of the power struggles among various sects.

Xie Lanyin didn’t expect that just by being slightly distracted, Zhang Yu had already started consolidating power within the management committee.

"An Immortal Inheritance, indeed, cannot be underestimated."

In Xie Lanyin’s view, the reason Zhang Yu, just a small Divinity Transformation, could accomplish such feats boiled down to the Immortal Inheritance of Yingxin Heaven.

"If Wanfa wants to reach in..." As thoughts flooded Xie Lanyin’s mind, her interactions with the other two vice presidents concluded.

"Then I have no choice but to cut off Zhang Yu’s outstretched hand."

...

In a certain Cave Heaven of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan.

Bu Yuan Gui looked at the emerging message before him and said to Bu Yingshu beside him, "Zhang Yu has done well, gathering subordinates faster than I expected."

"Giving the Immortal Crystals to the Immortal Cave Heaven, too, shows true devotion to the sect."

Bu Yingshu sneered silently, saying nothing.

At this moment, she was very angry because ever since Zhang Yu, her subordinate, became Vice President, he hadn’t contacted her once since leaving the special project team.

"Insolent pet, becoming a Vice President, even a small position, and he forgets who his master is?"

Bu Yuan Gui continued, "And utilizing the power of the Immortal Inheritance to quickly unify the search teams shows that Zhang Yu, though from the Lower Realm, is not one of those old-school cultivators only focused on mindless cultivation."

Bu Yingshu knew what Bu Yuan Gui meant by old-school cultivators: ancient cultivators who only knew cultivation and didn’t know anything about building influence or developing power. Such cultivators had historically held a significant portion within the cultivation group because focusing entirely on cultivation was simply more efficient and faster.
