Distributing Spirit Herbs, Gradually Establishing the Young Sect Master's Authority

Du Bùsǐ paused briefly, looking at him deeply. "Linyuan, this precious land was discovered because of the revelation you received from the Evil God."

"According to the rules of the soul master world, every Heavenly Treasure in this valley should belong to you alone."

"Any single spirit herb here, taken outside, would be a priceless treasure with no market price. Are you truly willing to contribute them all to the sect?"

Ye Linyuan thought of those warm and straightforward senior brothers and sisters, and smiled freely. "Since I am the Young Sect Master of the Body Sect, then the sect is my home."

"Senior Dragon, Wang Yanfeng, Chen Lü—they treat me like a brother. They helped me build my house, even moved their own furniture over for me."

"They treat me with sincerity, so I naturally repay them with sincerity. Isn't it only right for family to help each other?"

Looking at Ye Linyuan's clear and sincere eyes, Du Bùsǐ was silent for a long time.

After a while, he heavily patted Ye Linyuan on the shoulder. "Good! Excellent! This master truly did not misjudge you!"

"Linyuan, for the Body Sect to have you as its Young Sect Master is everyone's fortune!"

Du Bùsǐ's heart grew more gratified. He felt that the greatest gain from this trip was not the valley full of spirit herbs, but the disciple before him—a prodigy in talent, character, and strategy all at once.

He thought for a moment, then said, "This master can take these spirit herbs back and distribute them to the sect's disciples, but they cannot be given for free, nor can they be used carelessly."

"I will make it clear to everyone that these spirit herbs are a fortune you found, and that you voluntarily offered them to help your fellow sect members improve their strength."

"This way, the entire sect will owe you a favor, which will greatly benefit you when you inherit the position of Sect Master and lead the sect in the future."

"As for distribution, there must be rules," Du Bùsǐ said in a deep voice. "This master only plans to select a few portions to grant to a small number of core disciples with outstanding talent and diligent cultivation."

"Or to use as rewards when someone makes an outstanding contribution to the sect."

"If we squander them recklessly, even the reserves of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well won't hold out."

Ye Linyuan nodded. "Master's words are very true. Let's do as you say."

Du Bùsǐ acted swiftly. He carefully picked a few Immortal Spirit Herbs from the valley that had mild medicinal properties and were better suited for building a foundation, then sealed them up meticulously.

Just as he was about to set off, Ye Linyuan suddenly called out to him.

"Master, this disciple has one more matter."

"Oh? What else is there?" Du Bùsǐ, now immune to his precious disciple's endless stream of novel ideas, asked with interest.

Ye Linyuan smiled slightly. "It's about solving the sect's financial problems."

Du Bùsǐ was taken aback. "Financial problems? Tell me more."

"Master, what do you think of the taste of that food I invented called hotpot?" Ye Linyuan didn't answer directly but asked with a smile instead.

Du Bùsǐ didn't know why he suddenly brought this up, but he answered honestly, "The flavor is spicy and delicious, and the way of eating is novel and convenient."

"In winter, it can ward off the cold and warm the body. It's a good invention. Why?"

Ye Linyuan spoke confidently. "Then what do you think, if we promoted this hotpot eating method to Sky Dou City, would the residents there like it?"

Du Bùsǐ thought briefly and said, "Sky Dou City is a major commercial hub on the continent, with dense traffic. Accepting such a novel and delicious way of eating shouldn't be hard."

"Moreover, Sky Dou City is located in the north, with cold winter temperatures—a perfect match for hotpot."

Ye Linyuan grinned, a glint flashing in his eyes. "There's an old saying from my hometown: 'Food is the heaven of the people.'"

"Among clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, the food business has the highest repurchase rate."

"I can hand over the core recipe for hotpot, along with a unique business model, to the sect. The sect can then partner with Princess Weina to open a hotpot restaurant in Sky Dou City."

"Princess Weina is a direct descendant of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, with abundant resources. She can provide manpower, venue, and official convenience."

"Our Body Sect will provide the core recipe and business strategy. Both sides get what they need, binding our interests together."

Du Bùsǐ didn't know much about business, but the logic in Ye Linyuan's words was clear.

He hesitated. "Running a food business involves a lot of trivial matters. Wouldn't it be too distracting and hinder the disciples' cultivation?"

"Master, don't worry. This disciple already has a plan."

Ye Linyuan said, taking a piece of paper covered in writing from his storage Soul Tool and handing it to Du Bùsǐ. "This is a Business Plan for the hotpot industry. We can adopt a Share Distribution System with the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, turning the restaurant into a long-term venture."

"The Body Sect holds fifty-one percent of the shares, and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family holds forty-nine percent."

"This way, both sides' interests are completely tied together. The Heaven Dou Empire can also reap substantial profits, so they will naturally manage it with care."

"As for daily management, it can be entirely handed over to royal personnel who are more experienced in business."

"Our Body Sect only needs to grasp the big picture and regularly audit the accounts."

"As for the business strategy, we'll use the Buffet Model written on this paper."

At this point, Ye Linyuan paused briefly and added, "Under normal circumstances, both cooperating parties should participate in management to prevent one side from abusing power for personal gain."

"But our situation is special. The Heaven Dou Empire's royal family needs the high-level combat power of our Body Sect."

"As long as they have brains, they won't play dirty tricks on such small-scale business."

"If it ever came to light, offending our Body Sect over a bit of money would be a huge loss for them."

Du Bùsǐ unfolded the paper and read it carefully.

It was clearly listed:

"Broth types: spicy, bone broth, mushroom, tomato, etc., customers can choose for themselves."

"The ingredient area: fresh vegetables, mushrooms, and bean products are neatly stacked by the plate."

"Various meats and river delicacies are pre-cut to suitable sizes and arranged on plates."

"Different colored plates represent different prices, clear at a glance."

"There are also pre-matched hotpot sets for easy selection."

"After customers enter the shop, a base charge for the pot base and dipping sauce is collected per person. For the rest, they take whatever they want, and payment is settled based on the color and quantity of plates at the end."

"This way, customers have a high degree of freedom, and the shop saves a lot of manpower on ordering and serving dishes—efficient and convenient..."

Although Du Bùsǐ didn't dabble in business, he had lived for two hundred years and seen much of the world.

With just a few glances, he immediately realized the exquisite ingenuity hidden behind this seemingly simple Buffet Model.

It solved the hospitality industry's most troublesome issues of supply-demand matching and efficiency in an incredibly streamlined way!

Du Bùsǐ couldn't help but lift his head, re-evaluating his six-year-old disciple with eyes full of disbelief. "Did you come up with this yourself?"

Ye Linyuan said matter-of-factly, "There's no such business model anywhere on the continent. If not me, who else could have thought of it?"

Hmph, as long as no one knows bro is a transmigrator, Bro is a business tycoon!

Hehehe~~~
