Chapter 64: The Confusion of Poison After leaving the meeting room, Langya’s affairs were not over yet. Due to Du Bu Si's strong intervention and the forced compromise of the Tianhun royal family, a large number of merchants regard the Body Sect as their benefactors. They are very supportive of opening a branch in the Benti Sect. There were dozens of merchants coming to sign the agreement! This scared Wang Teng, because if they were placed near Benyuan University and a commercial street was built, their batch of freshmen would only have a few hundred people. Even if the exchange students from Shrek Academy came later, the total number would not be large. It’s a big problem if people come but no one buys anything! So Wang Teng acted decisively and advanced the plan to build a city in the Benti Sect Mountains. Leaving the heavy atmosphere of the conference hall, Lang Ya's figure shuttled back and forth in the corridor, but his heart was still full of ups and downs. His affairs, with the direct intervention of the leader of the Poisonous Immortal Sect, unexpectedly triggered a chain reaction, making the Body Sect unexpectedly a popular target in the eyes of many businesses. The compromise of the Tianhun royal family was like a spring breeze that blew away the haze that shrouded the Body Sect. Those merchants who originally kept their distance from the Body Sect or took a wait-and-see attitude have now changed their attitudes and regard the Body Sect as their new blue ocean of business.
They saw the power behind the Body Sect and the business opportunities that were about to emerge. As a result, letters requesting cooperation came in like snowflakes, requesting to open branches within the territory of the Body Sect and share in the prosperity. Faced with this sudden craze, Wang Teng's first reaction was surprise, followed by deep worry. As a young and promising disciple in the Body Sect and one of the advocates of the city construction plan, he knows that any decision must be carefully considered and not act blindly. Although the Body Sect is powerful, it is ultimately a sect that focuses on cultivation rather than a commercial empire. If we blindly introduce a large number of businesses without corresponding consumer groups, it will only lead to waste of resources and market chaos. "Junior Brother Wang Teng, you have to think of a way!" There was a hint of urgency in Lang Ya's voice. He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and if not handled properly, it might bring unnecessary trouble to the Body Sect. "So many merchants are here for the reputation of our Benti Sect. What if..." Wang Teng frowned upon hearing this, but his eyes sparkled with wisdom. He understood that this was a challenge as well as an opportunity. He needs to find a balance that can both meet the needs of merchants and bring practical benefits to the Benti Sect. "Brother Langya, don't worry, I already have some preliminary ideas." Wang Teng said in a deep voice, “First of all, we must make it clear that although the Body Sect needs to develop the economy, it must not be at the expense of the sect’s core interests. Therefore, we cannot blindly introduce all merchants, but must conduct strict screening to ensure that their products and services can truly meet the needs of people inside and outside the sect." “Secondly, we need to plan the layout and construction of the commercial street in advance. We cannot simply build a few streets near Honyuan University and call it a day. Instead, we need to construct a comprehensive city that integrates shopping, entertainment, leisure, and cultivation. This will not only attract more consumers, but also enhance the overall image and influence of the Benti Sect.” “But, as you just said, the number of new students is limited, what should we do? If no one buys anything, they won’t make any money and they certainly won’t be able to stay here.” Lang Ya asked worriedly. "That's exactly the third point I want to make." Wang Teng smiled slightly, with confidence shining in his eyes, "We can't just rely on the existing students as a consumer group.
We must use the influence and resources of the Benti Sect to attract more outsiders to settle here. For example, we can hold some large-scale events and competitions to attract the attention of other sects and forces. We can also establish closer ties with higher education institutions such as Shrek Academy to attract more outstanding students to come for exchanges and studies. In this way, our consumer group will continue to expand and the prosperity of the commercial street will be guaranteed. What's more, we are the guardian sect of the Tianhun Empire, and we can't just focus on Shrek school. There are many high-level soul master academies like the Royal Soul Master Academy of the three major empires. For those who are at the same level as us, we can talk and communicate with each other. For those who are lower than us, we can give them the opportunity to communicate and learn. Moreover, our Benyuan University, not to mention the training of junior and intermediate soul masters under the age of 18, we are also preparing to recruit students for the training of intermediate and senior soul masters aged 18-24. Don't worry, our Body Sect is definitely capable of training mid- to high-level spirit masters, comparable to the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, but we want to run it as an open university!" When Lang Ya heard this, a look of sudden enlightenment flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Wang Teng to be so thoughtful and far-sighted. "Junior Brother Wang Teng, you are such a genius! In this way, the Benti Sect will not only be able to develop economically, but also reach a higher level in terms of culture and influence!" In the following days, Wang Teng, Lang Ya and others seemed to be driven by an invisible force and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the preparation for the construction of the Benti Sect city. Their figures shuttled between meeting halls, workshops and mountains, and every step they took showed their determination and vision for the future. Setting up a special committee is Wang Teng’s first step. This committee is composed of elites from inside and outside the Body Sect. They are not only proficient in business operations, but also have a deep understanding of the cultural heritage of the Body Sect. The committee’s primary task is to select partners who are both capable and compatible with the philosophy of the Ontology Sect from among the many businesses eager to join the Ontology Sect. This process is not only a comprehensive test for merchants, but also a thoughtful consideration of the future development of the Benti Sect. At the same time, Wang Teng knows very well that the soul of a city lies in its planning and architecture. To this end, he spared no expense and invited top architectural masters and urban planning experts from the Tianhun Empire and even the entire continent. These experts are either good at recreating classical aesthetics or proficient in the use of modern technology. Their arrival has injected unprecedented vitality and creativity into the city construction of Benti Zong. Wang Teng's decision was bold and decisive. His requirement of "coming up with a rough design plan for a medium-sized city within three days" was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. This is not only an extreme challenge to the capabilities of the expert team, but also a clear declaration of the future development direction of the Body Sect. All Du Bu Si has to do is pay the money, but Wang Teng and the others have to consider a lot more. Wang Teng and Lang Ya were in charge of all the work these days, for no other reason than that these two brothers could work twenty hours a day. The advantage of the brain martial spirit was demonstrated once again. When Du Bu Si saw a large amount of gold soul coins flowing out of the account, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you two eat gold soul coins?" Newcomer, new book, please support~ (End of this chapter)
