Chapter 56: The Arrogant General Manager

  "You must be careful and handle this matter properly, without making any mistakes."

  The main hall of Cao's house in Qingniu Town, Cao Guan was waiting for the servant to collect his luggage, and said to Cai, the general manager of foreign affairs.

  "In short, during the time I'm away, you must think of ways to win Lin Huan's heart. As long as he's happy, try to satisfy him, and what I mean is spare no expense. Apart from this, keep an eye on the movements of other forces, if anyone wants to make a move, be clear about it and report back to me at all times. If you let someone intervene or snatch it away, then you're done for."

  Cai Lai nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Master. Lin Hong will definitely become our captive, and no one can take him away from us."

  He didn't think so in his heart, originally thinking that the master of the house had called him over in a hurry for something big, but it turned out to be just recruiting this poor kid as an inner disciple. As for Lin Heng, he was all too familiar with him, and every day inside and outside the house, whenever someone was useless, they would always say: "You're even more useless than that Lin Heng from Qi Li Gou!" The person being scolded would immediately turn purple with rage, their face swelling up.

  Lin Yao's promotion to the second rank, he had also heard of it, but in his eyes, Lin Heng was either lucky or faking it. Last time, there were rumors that he defeated some martial artist as an ordinary person, and in the end, it was said: He collaborated with his mistress to perform a fake show.

  In his impression, Lin Huan was always that waste material, rather than some kind of genius or second-rate master.

  Seeing the master of the house being so worked up over such a trivial matter, he solemnly agreed with him on the surface but was clearly impatient. Having served for many years, seeing the master so serious, it wasn't easy to speak his mind and make the master unhappy.

  "If it weren't for Jin Yuancheng's branch having an accident, I would have rushed to attend and wouldn't be able to extricate myself. Today, I'm afraid I'll have to personally go to Qili Gou to congratulate him." Cao Guan thought of Jin Yuancheng's troubles and felt a surge of disgust. Lately, it's been a season of many troubles. This way, every time something happens, it all relies on me alone to run around, I'm afraid I won't live long."

  "Last time, Chen Que was missed, and the Cao family lost a future pillar. This time, Lin Heng broke out of thin air, and it's really not allowed to lose again. In recent years, the inner door disciples who have been recruited have lower and lower qualifications. I heard that the person in charge of recruitment is selling the quota for inner door disciples as goods, you need to investigate this matter thoroughly."

  Cai Lai's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect this matter to have reached the ears of the master.

  Regarding the sale of inner door disciple quotas, it was he who took the lead and another inner door San Guan Shi quietly did it. If found out, not to mention that the position of general manager would be lost, according to the family law, one's life would be hard to preserve.

  This can't be done again, and those who know the inside story must find an excuse to resign as soon as possible.

  He thought of a good fortune, but let Lin Heng destroy it, and hatred surged up in his heart. The master's affairs were complicated, if not for the appearance of this waste, I'm afraid the master wouldn't even notice the inner door disciples' affairs either. Everything is the crime of the surname Lin!

  Isn't he just a useless person, why bother with such a big fuss and courtesy? Our Cao family is the most prestigious in Qingniu Town, with power reaching the sky. If we deign to look at him, it's his good fortune from his past life!

  "Hmph, since the master has entrusted this matter to me, you Lin, won't die, but will lose a layer of skin. If this waste can nod and bow his head quickly and enter the inner door, I'll make it easy for him to complete the task. Later, at most during practice, I'll let him suffer a bit as a small lesson. But if he puts on airs, pretends to be noble, I'll break his leg bones and have him carried in! By then, even normal people won't be able to do anything, becoming a thorough waste!"

  Cai Lai's eyes revealed a vicious color, he had been working in the Cao family for thirty years, except for the master of the mansion, Cao Guan and his relatives, the only one who could rival him was the internal affairs manager, Bai Tian. He was so powerful that people would tremble with fear when they saw him outside, addressing him as "master" this and "master" that. Now, he had to humble himself in front of a useless person, which was absolutely impossible. Moreover, with Lin Heng's appearance, his financial resources were cut off, how could he let Lin Heng have an easy time?

  He never thought that he couldn't complete the task and recruit Lin Heng and others. Nonsense, he is the general manager of the first family in Qingniu Town, and has never taken these small villages and tribes seriously. In front of his majesty, even the patriarch of Qili Gou dare not breathe loudly.

  With his reputation, he can invite a poor young man who has never been seen before and has a notorious reputation. How could he not be invited?

  It's said that being too perfect will make people jealous. Lin Lang didn't expect to successfully advance to Second Rank, and as a result, he finally encountered his first trouble.

  Fireflies shine in the dark night, no less than the bright moon.

  Lin Heng's successful news of impacting two products has triggered a strong reaction in Qingniu Town.

  There is even a public opinion that the first person of Lin's generation in Qingniu Town is already Lin, not Chen Que. However, Chen Que has planted his reputation in Qingniu Town for a long time and has deep-rooted worshippers.

  The two sides have differing opinions, and the debate between Lin Heng and Chen Que has become a dazzling topic.

  Let's put aside these heated debates for now, as Lin Xiang was worried about another issue.

  It wasn't easy getting rid of all the congratulatory gifts in the house, but Lin Lang had another thorny problem that left him speechless.

  That's because there were too many people coming to the door, with neighbors and friends, guests visiting, and all sorts of enthusiastic and curious people... from morning till night, making him busy with no time to spare. For several days now, not to mention quiet meditation, even thinking about having a peaceful meal was impossible.

  He had no choice but to move into his sister's house for a while, and only then did he feel slightly more at peace.

  Quietly, a few butterflies flew out from the gap of the window.

  Lin stretched out his legs and sat cross-legged, his mind fully immersed in the new "whirlpool of potential" in the sea of consciousness.

  The dark and narrow spiritual sea has not changed much, the divine core seed is suspended in mid-air, and the space is gloomy and depressing. The only difference is that under the divine core seed, the original "potential vortex" has formed a substantial sphere, and the "potential flow" is sticky and slow, flowing slowly, several times slower than before. And on the side, there is another new "potential vortex", with shallow potential rapidly flowing in the vortex, and shining brightly with the first one.

  This is undoubtedly the second "potential vortex" generated by his entry into the second product. The "potential flow quality" inside can be distinguished at a glance, and it is not as good as the first complete "potential vortex". Moreover, the potential flow quality inside the "vortex" only reaches one tenth of its height, and it is unknown when it will be full.

  From first-rate to second-rate, simply put, it is a whirlpool from the beginning to the fullness of the circle. Lin Heng set a record by absorbing twenty-two days from the medicine pool, and let Qili Gou invest three times the huge amount of medicinal materials, absorbing more than thirty times the total number of Wu Zhe, which was finally fulfilled and promoted to second-rate.

  It can be seen that from the "potential vortex" of the sea, if cultivated at an ordinary speed, without decades of cultivation, it is almost impossible.

  From the first rank to the fourth rank, there is a habit that the more you go back, the "potential vortex" on the outside has not changed in volume, but the storage capacity is several times that of the previous one. For example, Lin Heng is now at the second rank and has produced a second "potential vortex". The potential stored in this vortex is twice that of the first one.

  To put it bluntly, if Lin wants to make the second "whirlpool" perfect, he needs to cultivate twice the amount of potential as before.

  It's no wonder that the tribal elder Huo Tianzhao said: Within fifteen years, Lin Heng will be promoted to third rank. He didn't dare say five or six years.

  The second "potential vortex" requires too much potential accumulation, and special cases like Lin Hengyao's can only be encountered once but not twice.

  Lin Heng was still satisfied with the situation of "Potential Vortex", but compared to his progress in cultivation, his physical body still needed to undergo rigorous training.

  Originally, the cultivation of Yuan Li was supposed to temper a martial artist's body, increasing their physical strength. However, Lin Feng's progress in his realm was too fast, and even though his physical strength had also increased, it couldn't keep up with the speed at which his realm was rising.

  Lin Huan has been practicing "Meat Heart Method", "Tendon Heart Method" and "Bone Heart Method" these past few nights, which are all related to the physical body. Firstly, it can consolidate the cultivation of Qi, secondly, these three methods can further temper the physical body.

  Although these three heart methods are ordinary basic heart methods, they have made great progress in Lin's dedicated cultivation. His physical strength is now much stronger than when he first advanced to the second rank and was still getting used to the pain of releasing his second-rank potential.

  "Hmm, it seems I'll have to head into the mountains for some intense training. Typically, newly-minted warriors like myself need to rapidly increase their physical strength and solidify their inner energy boundaries, so they choose to go into the great mountains for ascetic practice." Lin Heng opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and had this thought.

  "It's rare to have peace of mind here, so I'll go to the mountains and cultivate myself for a while. Not only can I get some quiet time, but also temper my willpower, killing two birds with one stone."

  He decided to tell his father and the clan leader in two days, for now, he would prepare everything and get ready for the bitter cultivation in the depths of the mountain.

  Lin Heng's idea arose for another important reason: the four internal elixirs of "Yao Guan Lin Mang"!
