Wudang Builds, Duobao Supervises, Xuandu Is Dumbfounded: "I'm Refining Cola, Instant Noodles, Sauce Aroma Cigarettes?"

The Golden Crow hung in the east.

Under the blazing sun.

At the Jiangyue River, a bright moon hung in the sky.

The handsome Youth in Black stood tall with confidence, looking down at the countless disciples below, and said solemnly, "Since you all have no objections."

"Then I will now assign the arrangements for each sect. Does anyone have any questions?"

As he finished speaking.

Qingyuan's gaze turned to the Human Sect.

Great Master Xuandu, Zhenwu, Du'e, and a few others murmured in discussion.

Then Xuandu stepped forward and said gently, "Senior Disciple Brother Qingyuan, our Human Sect has no objections and is willing to follow your arrangements."

"Good."

Qingyuan nodded, then looked toward the Chan Sect and said, "Everyone, any objections?"

Daoist Randeng, Guangchengzi, and a group of Chan Sect Immortals gathered to discuss.

Then Guangchengzi stepped forward and said, "Senior Disciple Brother Qingyuan, we have no objections."

"Good. And you, junior brothers and sisters, any objections?"

Qingyuan looked toward the Jie Sect.

"I have no objections. If any Disciple of the Jie Sect dares to object, I am willing to suppress any dissent for the Senior Disciple Brother!"

Daoist Duobao stepped forward, and his vast, overwhelming aura erupted once more.

"We are willing to follow the Senior Disciple Brother's arrangements!"

Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Wudang Holy Mother, Qiushou Xian, and the others quickly cupped their hands in response.

Ma Yuan, Shi Ji, Dai Li, and other Jie Sect Outer Disciples knelt on one knee with fervor, their voices like thunder: "We are willing to die for the Senior Disciple Brother!"

"We all obey what the Master says!!"

Yun Zhongzi, Wuzhiqi, Yuan Hong, and the other disciples also voiced their support.

The entire Jie Sect, all its experts, backed Qingyuan, so naturally no Jie Sect Disciple dared to refuse. The scene was filled with voices of support.

"Good. Since that's settled, I will now assign the work for the disciples of the three sects."

Qingyuan nodded, his tone suddenly turning stern and severe. "Let me be clear from the start: from today onward, I will assign the work. If anyone slacks off on the job and causes the project to fail quality standards, the punishment will be severe—confinement for minor offenses, expulsion from the sect for major ones. This applies to everyone, no exceptions. Do you understand?"

"We heed the Senior Disciple Brother's words!"

Countless Jie Sect Disciples responded.

The Human Sect and Chan Sect also nodded in agreement.

"Good."

Qingyuan nodded. "Good. Then I will now officially make the assignments."

"Jie Sect, Golden Spirit Holy Mother."

"Here!" Golden Spirit Holy Mother stepped forward to respond. Qingyuan said solemnly, "I appoint you as the head of the Materials Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market Project. You will arrange personnel and mobilize Jie Sect Disciples to prepare all construction materials!"

"Understood!!"

"Jie Sect, Wudang Holy Mother!"

"Senior Disciple Brother, I'm here!"

Wudang Holy Mother said excitedly, "Senior Disciple Brother, what task do you have for me?"

"I appoint you as the head of the Construction Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market Project. You will lead the personnel responsible for building all structures, large and small, according to the construction blueprints, completing them within the deadline. You must not cut corners or be careless during construction. Can you do it?"

"Senior Disciple Brother, rest assured. If there's one thing I have, it's attention to detail!"

Wudang Holy Mother patted her chest and said with a grin, "With me in charge, I guarantee all construction will be completed on schedule!"

"Mm."

Qingyuan gave her a nod of affirmation.

Then he turned his gaze to Qiushou Xian and said, "Jie Sect, Qiushou Xian."

"Senior Disciple Brother, I'm here!"

The burly and fierce Qiushou Xian immediately shook his head as he stepped forward.

"I appoint you as the head of the Logistics Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market Project. You will be responsible for coordinating between all departments, ensuring provisions, lodging, personnel storage, and other matters. If another department needs extra hands, you will coordinate and assist. Can you do it?"

"Senior Disciple Brother, rest assured! Even if I have to throw away this life, I will complete the task you've given me!"

Qiushou Xian said earnestly.

"Chan Sect, Daoist Randeng. Jie Sect, Piluxian, Immortal Dingguang, Jinguang Xian!"

Qingyuan continued calling names. The three Mystic Immortals stepped forward one after another, cupping their fists and saying, "Senior Disciple Brother!"

"I appoint Daoist Randeng as the lead of the Formation Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market Project, with Piluxian, Immortal Dingguang, and Jinguang Xian as deputies. You will be responsible for the later-stage defensive formations and array placements at the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market. Can you do it?"

"Senior Disciple Brother, rest assured—we will all give our utmost!"

Piluxian and the others quickly pledged.

On the Chan Sect side.

Daoist Randeng likewise did not refuse. Stepping forward, he nodded and said, "Since Junior Disciple Qingyuan has made arrangements, This Seat will naturally give his all. When the time comes, watch for my formation mastery!!"

"I appreciate the trouble!"

Qingyuan clasped his fists.

He continued issuing orders. "Jie Sect, Yun Zhongzi!"

"Reporting to Master, your disciple is here!"

Yun Zhongzi quickly stepped forward. Qingyuan then said, "I appoint you as the head of the Publicity Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market project. You may select personnel from the sect to assist you, promote the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market to the outside world, and attract trade from beyond. Can you accomplish this?"

"Your disciple will give his utmost..."

"Mm."

Qingyuan nodded, then turned his gaze to the Human Sect immortals. "Human Sect, Xuandu, Zhenwu, Du'e, Jinguang, Yinguang, Green Ox, Zhu Ganglie!"

"Senior Disciple Brother Qingyuan, we are here!"

The Human Sect immortals each stepped forward, cupping their hands in salute.

"I appoint Xuandu as the head of the Pill Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market project. Zhenwu, Du'e, Jinguang, Yinguang, Green Ox, and Zhu Ganglie as deputies, to assist Xuandu in refining the required pills and other Immortal Market products. Can you all accomplish this?"

Qingyuan's expression was stern, and the Human Sect immortals responded with reverence.

"Chan Sect, Immortal Elder Nanji, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Daoist Huanglong, Juliusun, True Person Taiyi, Daoist Wenshu, True Person Puxian, Daoist Cihang, True Person Yuding, Daoist Lingbao, True Person Daoxing, True Person Qingxu!"

"We are here!"

The Chan Sect immortals stepped forward one after another.

Since they had already acknowledged this matter, they would not pay lip service while acting otherwise.

"I name Immortal Elder Nanji and Guangchengzi as the main heads of the Artifact Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market project. The rest of you will serve as deputies, assisting the main heads in refining the required artifacts and other items needed for the Immortal Market. Can you all accomplish this?" Qingyuan said solemnly.

"We, respectfully obey Senior Disciple Brother Qingyuan's command!!"

The Chan Sect immortals cupped their hands and accepted the orders.

Only then did he turn his gaze to Daoist Duobao, and said in a deep voice, "Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao!"

"Senior Disciple Brother!"

Daoist Duobao, who had been waiting for a long time, trembled slightly, then puffed out his chest and said, "Here!"

"I appoint you as the head of the Supervision Department under the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market project. You will oversee the progress of the seven departments—Materials, Construction, Logistics, Formations, Publicity, Pills, and Artifacts—as well as project quality, disciplinary inspection, and all other matters great and small. If you catch anyone violating the rules, the punishment may range from confinement and chastisement for minor offenses, to expulsion from the sect or even summary execution for major ones. Can you bear this heavy responsibility?"

"I, Daoist Duobao, accept this command today, and will surely live up to Senior Disciple Brother's trust!"

Daoist Duobao puffed out his chest.

His cold eyes swept across the entire assembly, and his tone grew even icier, more sinister. "Since I am the head of the Supervision Department, I hold the power of life and death over the seven departments of the Kunlun Mountains Immortal Market project."

"If anyone dares to defy me..."

"Don't blame me for being merciless!!!"

The assembled immortals all cupped their hands and responded, "We shall follow Daoist Duobao's words. We dare not engage in fraud!!"

Seeing that the disciples of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects were all under his command.

Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

He waved his hand, and streaks of light flew toward the eight department heads.

"Now that the project content has been distributed, you may all first take a look at the work content of each department."

The scene fell silent for a long time.

All the heads seemed stunned by the content.

Great Master Xuandu opened his eyes, his face full of bewilderment. "Senior Disciple Brother Qingyuan, I understand you want me to refine pills, but what is this about developing things like Cola, Sprite, Yanjing, Red Bull, Instant Noodles, and Potato Chips? What are those?"
