After Shi Ling had aroused the excitement in everyone's heart, he started to plan his plan.

The first step was to require a large amount of funds.

Creating a force was like starting a business, it was not only possible to say that there were people, but also required a certain amount of starting funds, otherwise, no matter what was discussed later, it would be nonsense. However, as an alchemist, Shi Ling's family background was naturally very deep, so the matter of starting funds could be easily solved.

The second step was to collect resources.

The food, magic tools, medicinal pills, equipment, and a series of other things were all essential to a sect. It was just like how an ordinary shopkeeper in the mortal world wanted to open a factory, but with the resources and manpower, there was nothing that could be done without any equipment. Therefore, Shi Ling directly took out 1.6 million gold coins from his total income to buy the materials.

The third step was to win over all sorts of talented individuals …

After all, as an entrepreneur, having a capable subordinate could save a lot of time and effort. However, having extraordinary ability did not mean that the other party would be loyal to him, because in this world, anyone with some ability would have ambitions. If Shi Ling could not control his subordinates well, then the power he created would be equivalent to marrying someone else.

As a result, Shi Ling decided to only use the three Blood Coagulation Realm cultivators who had just awakened. The three were Xiao Hantian, Liu Changfeng, and Duan Wuya, although he was not sure about their abilities, but he was sure that they would be loyal to him. Thus, Shi Ling planned to let them take care of all of them while he was gone, firstly to see their abilities, and secondly, to give them a chance to train.

The fourth and most important step after that: to create a perfect system.

Every sect, power, and even country had a complete set of system that belonged to them, such as Spirit Sword Sect, the hall that was in charge of bringing in the funds, the hall that was in charge of selling cultivation resources to the outside world, and the elder that was in charge of recruiting new disciples. All of these had very clear rules, and everyone within the sect had their own responsibilities, which were similar to the internal organs of the human body.

When there were not many people yet, they could form teams. When there were more people, there would be classes, and when there were more people, there would be management. Thus, the upper management would come up with a series of management policies to make it easier for them to manage the sect better.

Of course, the five steps proposed by Shi Ling were only in one direction, and the actual implementation would be much more complicated than this. Therefore, Shi Ling decided to stay here for a week and personally instruct them.

Bai Xiaosheng would also give a few pointers to Shi Ling in the process. After all, it was Shi Ling's first time creating a strong power, so he naturally didn't know a lot of things.

Shi Ling had to admit that Bai Xiaosheng was indeed knowledgeable. Almost everything that Shi Ling didn't know could be said by him. At the same time, the more than 200 people that Shi Ling had woken up also started to work methodically under the command of Shi Ling and Bai Xiaosheng.

Those people were in charge of purchasing materials, those people were in charge of building buildings, and those people had a clear division of work for clearing the wasteland. The Guqiao Village that was initially in ruins also began to regain new life within a few days.

On this day, Shi Ling and Liu Changfeng walked along a small path, looking around at the villagers who were working hard to build their houses, Shi Ling lightly nodded his head, appearing to be quite satisfied. Liu Changfeng beside him, however, opened his mouth and said, "Lord, after five days of purchasing materials, the starting capital of the village has already been spent two hundred thousand gold coins. I think …"

Liu Changfeng paused for a moment before Shi Ling continued, "You want to start building our own economic chain, right?"

Liu Changfeng nodded his head. He wiped his hand on his sackcloth, which was covered with dust, and said, "Although the village's activation is very generous, if we don't establish our own economic chain as soon as possible, then sooner or later we will have a free ride!"

Shi Ling nodded with his hands behind his back and said, "That's true!"

With that, Shi Ling walked up to a broken table. He did not mind the dirty chairs and sat down. He crossed his legs and looked at the old houses. Then, he turned to Liu Changfeng and asked, "Do you have any good thoughts?"

Shi Ling could tell that since Liu Changfeng dared to propose the economic chain to him, he must have his own ideas. Therefore, Shi Ling wanted to hear his thoughts.

Liu Changfeng stood beside Shi Ling, and after pondering for a while, he said: "After these few days of observation, I discovered that the surrounding area of the Guqiao Village is practically a wasteland, and there isn't even any vegetation growing there. I can conclude that the soil here is very barren, so it is obviously impossible to rely on the most primitive rice growing as our economic chain!"

Shi Ling nodded when he heard this. He took out a bottle of white wine from his Heart Ring and drank a mouthful first, then he placed it on the broken table and said: "Go on!"

Liu Changfeng nodded his head and continued, "Although the rice, wheat, and other crops cannot grow here, the Guqiao Village still has a unique advantage!"

Shi Ling exclaimed and looked around curiously. When he saw a small river running through the village, he said, "You mean the riverbed here?"

Liu Changfeng nodded again, and said, "There are three rivers of varying sizes around Guqiao Village, and there are a large number of fish in the rivers. One of the more famous ones is the grass larvae."

When Liu Changfeng said this, he brought his face closer to Shi Ling and said, "My lord, I believe you should know how valuable grass larvae are as one of the main foods of the mortal world's people. I believe I don't have to say anything more about it, if we can make good use of this riverbed and carry out large-scale grass larvae cultivation, then the annual income of our Guqiao Village would reach an incalculable level!"

When Shi Ling heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately stood up from the stool and picked up the wine gourd beside him and walked towards the nearest riverbed. Liu Changfeng naturally followed.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived outside of Guqiao Village. Coincidentally, there was a relatively small riverbed that was around ten meters wide. The river's current speed wasn't considered fast, at least not for Shi Ling!

Shi Ling looked at the river and the grass fish that were continuously flowing down below, and immediately turned to look at Liu Changfeng. Shi Ling looked at the river and the grass fish that was continuously flowing down, and immediately turned to look at Liu Changfeng.

Following that, he leaped into the river. However, he did not dive into the river. Instead, he stood on top of the river, his large hands continuously grabbing at the river.

Boom boom boom boom boom!" A large amount of water columns shot up into the sky from the river, and soon after, grass larvae flew out one by one. "Boom boom boom boom boom!" A large amount of water columns rose from the river, and soon, grass larvae flew out from the river, and Liu Changfeng waved his hand again.

Liu Changfeng immediately stepped on the water surface and flew back, landing in front of Shi Ling. At the same time, he held up the branch with both hands, while Shi Ling stared at the dozen of grass fish that were still flapping their bodies.

This type of fish was very small, only the size of a palm. Its body was flat and it didn't seem to have any meat on it. How could such a young fish become a staple food among mortals?

At this moment, Shi Ling raised one of his fingers and a crimson flame suddenly rose up. Shi Ling flicked his finger at the branch and the next moment, the grass fish on the branch that was surrounded by the flame quickly cooked it without burning the branch!

Shi Ling took a deep breath and was shocked by the smell for a moment. He then pulled a small portion of the fish and put it into his mouth, and tasted it, the fish was very soft, and the fire was controlled very well, causing the fish to be completely tender to the outside. Shi Ling took a deep breath and the smell of the fish filled his mouth, and for a moment, he was surprised by the smell of the fish, but he quickly pulled a small portion of the fish into his mouth. Very full.

At this moment, Liu Changfeng said, "Grass Carp are a kind of semi-Demonic Beast type fish. They have continuously evolved in the river of time, and have almost evolved into a monster race several times. However, for some reason, their evolution has always ended in failure, and the final result was their half-demon form."

Due to it being a half demon, their life force and reproduction ability are very strong. In this era where there is a famine from time to time, this type of fish has become the only food for the majority of mortals. Fortunately, it has a delicious taste, is not easy to eat, and is easy to raise.

Shi Ling nodded his head when he heard this, indicating that he understood. However, his mouth was eating nonstop, from the start to now, he just ate one fish at a time. Not long after, only three fish were left, and Liu Changfeng could not help but smile as he saw this and said,

"Looks like this fish's charm is truly great. Even adults are unable to extricate themselves from it."

After Shi Ling spat out the fish and bone spikes in his mouth, he picked up the wine and gulped it down. He couldn't help but sigh: "Such a delicious wine with Medicine Refinery Hall, yet such a great enjoyment in life!"

After saying that, Shi Ling clapped his hands and raised his head to look at the riverbed. He looked at the young grass fish and said, "How are you going to raise the young grass fish?"

When Liu Changfeng heard this, he knew that Shi Ling had already agreed to his proposal. He immediately took out a blueprint with a smile.

Shi Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the map. It seemed like this guy had already thought of what to do a long time ago.

Liu Changfeng stuck the branch in his hand into the ground and spread out the blueprint in front of Shi Ling. The blueprint was a map of Guqiao Village, and the location was extremely detailed, so much so that it could be said that it was accurate.

He then heard Liu Changfeng say, "I plan to set up a fish farm here in the village to specialize in grass fish. Firstly, we can make this village rich with us, and secondly, we can use this grass fish to open up the path to the outside world. This way, we won't have to always be in a closed off state."

The location of the red circle was mainly at the northwest corner of the village. This place was coincidentally the place where the three riverbeds converged, so catching young grass fishes here was indeed the easiest. Also, after being artificially reared, the young grass fish could quickly reproduce on a large scale, and at that time, the young grass fish could officially enter the breeding mode.

Thinking about this, Shi Ling nodded and said, "That's a good idea, you've put in some effort into it!"

After Liu Changfeng praised Shi Ling, he immediately smiled and bowed while clasping his hands, "This is what I should do!"

At this moment, Shi Ling returned the blueprint to Liu Changfeng and said, "How much money is needed to set up these fish farms?"

Liu Changfeng answered without hesitation, "Thirty thousand gold coins!"

Shi Ling looked at Liu Changfeng in surprise and said, "Thirty thousand?"

Liu Changfeng nodded. Shi Ling frowned and asked, "Are you sure that 30,000 gold is enough?"

Liu Changfeng nodded again, and said, "When we bought the materials last time, many of them were for building houses. Liu Changfeng nodded again, and said," When we bought the materials last time, many of them were for building houses.

Thinking about it, Shi Ling took out a storage card from his Heart Ring and handed it over to Liu Changfeng. The number on it was exactly thirty thousand, and after Liu Changfeng received the storage card, he bowed towards Shi Ling and said, "Thank you, Sir!"

Shi Ling nodded and said, "Go on, don't let me down!"

Shi Ling looked at his back and a smile appeared on his face. At this time, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly appeared, he used his telekinesis to control the branch that was stuck in the ground to fly up, and then he used his teeth to bite off the fish and started eating it. At the same time, he glanced at the direction Liu Changfeng left in and said, "He's a very smart person!"

Shi Ling laughed lightly and said, "If his Guqiao Village can really grow in the future, then he can really contribute a lot."

Bai Xiaosheng said while eating the fish, "Don't make it sound like no one else is doing anything! Now that you can be considered the village head, it's time for you to have a bit of a decorum! "

Shi Ling rolled his eyes, then turned around and walked into the village. He then said, "I don't need you to tell me, of course I know!"
