He Song did not pay attention to external affairs.
Nor did he care what exactly had happened.
Inside the VIP room.
As the tea fragrance gradually permeated the surroundings.
He Song also met the people he wanted to see at the right time.
After Li Yu left and returned, he was followed by twenty to thirty people.
These dozen or so people were all dressed as scholars, looking like people of profound knowledge.
He Song's gaze swept over everyone, and the instructions that Meng Guan and Wei Fan had given him when they spoke to him about this place flashed through his mind.
Immediately, he spoke out a series of requirements.
"Those with family backing, leave."
"Those without direct relatives alive, leave."
"Those with cultivation level, leave."
In just three short sentences, the original twenty to thirty people in front of He Song almost instantly lost more than half.
In place, only seven or eight people dressed as scholars remained, still staying in place, quietly waiting for He Song's next move.
Before coming to this place.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan had specifically instructed He Song that when selecting subordinates, he also needed to consider them.
This consideration.
Had several aspects.
Family, household, cultivation level.
People with families, if they were recruited, were very likely to abuse their power for personal gain, and use the power delegated by He Song to seek benefits for their families.
Even worse, they would wave the banner of He Song, a Foundation Establishment True Person, to swagger and deceive outside, and bully the market.
At that time, He Song's reputation would probably become stinky.
In order not to let his reputation become extremely stinky without his knowledge.
When selecting subordinates, it is best to avoid people with families behind them.
Also to be safe.
At the same time, if subordinates have family support behind them, He Song is also easily drawn into the infighting between various families.
Whether it is a Foundation Establishment family, or a Qi Condensation small family, in order to survive, they will do their best to seize various resources.
With He Song, such a Foundation Establishment True Person behind them, how could they not take advantage of the situation?
In the end, He Song would probably have to carry a series of troubles.
Secondly.
They also needed to have a household.
This household, was what He Song had said before, direct relatives.
Those with parents alive.
Those with children alive.
As long as they possessed one of these two, they could be listed as candidates.
People with parents alive, and people with children alive, would act much more cautiously, and would not do anything out of line for some petty gains.
Even if they wanted to, they would also have to think about their family members.
As for the last point.
Cultivation level.
Whether or not they had cultivation level, was the most essential difference between cultivators and ordinary people.
If they had cultivation level, they might do anything for their own cultivation.
If they did not have cultivation level, and were just ordinary people, no matter how greedy, where could they be greedy to?
But just some secular gold and silver, such vulgar things.
Without cultivation level, although doing things would be slightly inconvenient, but even when beating a dog, one has to consider its owner, as subordinates of a Foundation Establishment True Person, how dare Qi Condensation cultivators offend them?
Therefore, when selecting subordinates, those with cultivation level, must not be chosen.
"You, each of you tell me how many people are in your family, what their identities are, and why you came here."
Looking at the few people in front of him, He Song narrowed his eyes slightly, and said casually.
After eliminating three types of people who could not be chosen, He Song still needed to continue to consider the remaining people.
If there was anything that did not meet He Song's liking, they would naturally continue to be eliminated.
The subordinates he recruited, only needed two people.
Two ordinary people to handle various matters.
Then buy a few people to help run errands, and various matters related to He Song's duties, naturally, he would not need to worry about them.
After listening to He Song's words, the few people in front of He Song immediately began to introduce themselves one by one.
Finally.
He Song left two people, and dismissed all the rest.
These two people.
One was named Sun Zhen, did not belong to any family, his parents were both alive, and he had a three-year-old son.
In his family, no one possessed spiritual roots.
One was named Liu Xiang, also did not belong to any family, his parents were both alive, and he had a five-year-old son.
In his family, no one possessed spiritual roots either.
These two people, perfectly met the conditions for perfect subordinates in He Song's mind.
After keeping the two, and signing a contract, hiring them as his subordinates, He Song then bought several late-Qi Condensation stage cultivators here.
These several late-Qi Condensation stage cultivators were all rogue cultivators before.
But because they were captured by the Immortal City Enforcement Team, and were implanted with life tokens, they could only obey the instructions of the life tokens, and could not do anything wrong.
He Song handed over the life tokens of these several late-Qi Condensation stage cultivators to Sun Zhen, and appointed him as steward, to manage his duties in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.
And secretly told Liu Xiang to keep an eye on Sun Zhen.
If Sun Zhen had any improper behavior, he would report it to him.
At that time, he would let Liu Xiang take over and manage his duties in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.
In this way.
With supervision, He Song naturally did not need to worry about these trivial matters anymore.
After confirming that his duties in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City were already being handled by someone, He Song turned and left this place.
The matter had been completed.
Next.
After leaving the slave market, He Song looked around, pondered slightly in his heart, and finally decided to return to his mansion first.
Now, cultivating more, and continuously increasing his cultivation level was the most important plan.
As for the rest.
They were all just minor details.
Returning to his mansion.
He Song quickly entered closed-door cultivation.
It must be said that in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, the spiritual energy concentration was much higher than in Hundred Herb Immortal Market.
Even the internal spiritual energy concentration of the Minor Spirit Gathering Formation that He Song had set up in his mansion was more concentrated than when he was in Hundred Herb Immortal Market.
Such a concentrated spiritual energy concentration made He Song feel that his cultivation level increase was even a bit faster when he cultivated.
Thus.
Days passed day by day.
He Song in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, could be considered to have gradually settled down.
After his arrival, True Person White Cloud's duties were transferred to him, and the two people he hired, Sun Zhen and Liu Xiang, also managed these matters in an orderly manner.
In this way, the various affairs in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, naturally, could also continue to operate in an orderly manner.
It was just that, in the process of He Song's continuous cultivation.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan continuously took the lead, gathering He Song, as well as True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane together, continuously deepening their understanding of each other.
Under the continuous invitations of Meng Guan and Wei Fan, the degree of familiarity between He Song and True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane also quickly reached a new level.
At first, He Song did not understand this.
But out of consideration for the invitations of his two friends, he had no choice but to go to meet everyone each time, and continuously become familiar with them.
Until later.
After He Song had truly understood the identities of True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane, a look of realization appeared in He Song's heart.
True Person White Cloud, True Person Dark Crane, the two were not ordinary Foundation Establishment True Persons.
But were sect elites who had been cultivated from Earth Sect's branch academies, and subsequently joined Earth Sect, and were accepted as disciples by Earth Sect's elders, and seriously cultivated.
Behind them, they all had a teacher's lineage, a background, and possessed extremely strong talent themselves, Foundation Establishment True Persons.
Whether it was He Song, or Wei Fan, or Meng Guan.
The three of them were all self-taught, and finally relied on various fortuitous encounters to set foot on Foundation Establishment, and become members of Earth Sect.
But, just as He Song had said before.
The three of them had no talent.
No background.
No teacher's lineage.
Even if they had become Foundation Establishment, and like True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane, were also in Earth Sect, there was still a trace of difference between the two.
This trace of difference, was talent, background, and teacher's lineage.
Talent, was their own spiritual roots.
If they had talent, Meng Guan and Wei Fan would not have been brushed down from Earth Sect's branch academies, and sent to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market.
Background, was the family power behind them.
If there was family power to support them, not to mention being able to rapidly increase their cultivation level, but in the Qi Condensation stage, they would have possessed a lot of resources.
Teacher's lineage, was the master they worshiped after entering the sect.
If they had a master, not only would Foundation Establishment Pills be prepared for them, even if they were threatened, there would be backers behind them.
Although the three of them had now become Foundation Establishment True Persons, these differences, were still impossible to erase.
According to He Song's guess.
The reason why Meng Guan and Wei Fan continuously gathered everyone together.
In addition to having the idea of gathering more before True Person White Cloud leaves.
Perhaps they also wanted to let him communicate more with True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane.
True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane, their understanding of the cultivation world, even their understanding of spells, magic techniques, and various magical artifacts, was learned through imperceptible influence and learning.
In terms of teacher's lineage and background, the things these two could learn, must be more than He Song and the other two.
Communicating more with them, by analogy, could probably also benefit He Song greatly.
The fact was also so.
In the process of continuously becoming familiar with True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane, He Song heard many things he had never heard before.
Some tips for casting spells, some small tricks for manipulating magical artifacts, some insights from cultivation, and so on.
The emergence of these things.
Although it would not greatly increase He Song's cultivation level, it could slightly increase some of his strength.
Not much.
But if accumulated over time, and gradually applying all these small tricks to actual combat, it could also increase his strength somewhat.
In this way.
In the process of continuously communicating with True Person White Cloud and True Person Dark Crane, He Song's strength was also steadily increasing.
He Song, who only now realized the good intentions of his two friends, after realizing that his strength was slowly increasing, also had a trace of emotion in his heart.
His two friends, did things really meticulously.
Seemingly did nothing.
But upon closer inspection, it was found that they had done everything.
Regarding this, He Song could only thank them in his heart, and whenever the two invited him, He Song also readily agreed.
Such an opportunity to improve his strength bit by bit, was rare.
When True Person White Cloud leaves Heavenly Pivot Immortal City one day, perhaps there will no longer be such a good opportunity.
And as time slowly passed.
As He Song's strength began to grow day by day, news from the outside world also began to pour in continuously.
Several months after He Song came to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, the higher-ups of Earth Sect finally released a piece of blockbuster news.
