Chapter 781 Take the First Step
"I'm worried that there will be turmoil next." Lin Mu's eyes flickered and he pondered.
"What turmoil?" Xu Jiao was about to get to the bottom of it.
Lin Mu took a deep breath, glanced at Xing Qing and said, "This time Xing Qing sold fake jade slips, which caused our reputation to be greatly damaged. I had no choice but to put some wonderful ideas into practice in advance, especially my image can appear in every quiet room in Piaomiao Fairyland, which means that I can cross a huge distance and communicate with cultivators face to face in Piaomiao Fairyland."
"In this way, if Piaomiao Fairyland develops further, not only me, but also ordinary cultivators, I am afraid that they can easily communicate with each other." Lin Mu said, "If the top forces take advantage of this, they will undoubtedly be able to expand wantonly. Even if they are separated by a long distance, it will be much more convenient to govern the forces under their jurisdiction, so that they dare not act rashly and have second thoughts."
"You mean, all the big and small forces like our Qianjin City are likely to be swallowed up by the top forces?" Xu Jiao finally understood and said in surprise.
"This is a matter for the future. I can't make a conclusion now, but I don't rule out this possibility." Lin Mu said truthfully.
"This is too dangerous." Xu Jiao said hurriedly, "Will our Xu family be controlled by others in the future? Stop it now!"
Lin Mu's face suddenly froze.
He didn't expect that Xu Jiao would be the first to stop him after telling the truth.
Xu Jiao didn't dare to take risks because it was related to the survival of the family.
Lin Mu pondered for a moment and smiled: "This is just the worst plan, and it may not be realized. The greater possibility is that after the communication is convenient in the future, the major regions and major cities can form a power alliance and exchange what they have. They may not be swallowed up by super powers, which is not very good for them."
"Such behavior is tantamount to killing the chicken to get the eggs. On the contrary, forming a power alliance will benefit any power. In comparison, even super powers dare not act recklessly and do such things that anger the heavens and the people." Lin Mu comforted Xu Jiao.
"Can you guarantee that you will be safe?" Xu Jiao asked still worriedly.
"I can't guarantee that everything will be safe and sound." Lin Mu said truthfully, "But I will try my best to promote the formation of an alliance among all the major regions and cities. By then, even if the superpowers want to annex, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the alliance. As long as they are not stupid, they will not force it. After all, there is no benefit, don't you think?"
Xu Jiao's face changed and flustered, saying: "I always thought that Piaomiao Fairyland was very unique and interesting, but I never thought that it actually had such great potential, and it might even affect the survival of a world. What should I do now?"
Xu Jiao has always been innocent and cute. Lin Mu rarely sees her so anxious and worried, and can't help but find it very interesting.
"In fact, you don't have to worry about the safety of the Xu family." Lin Mu smiled and said, "All of these are just possibilities. You have to know that Piaomiao Fairyland is completely under my control. I can decide whether all this will happen. If I feel that the situation is beyond my control, I will definitely not do it. Don't worry."
Xu Jiao immediately understood: "Piaomiao Fairyland is yours, I almost forgot, I was scared to death just now."
"I can explain it clearly to you, but I may not be able to explain it clearly to the major cities and major forces. Even if I do, they may not believe me." Lin Mu Worried, "If some forces are impatient and take the initiative to attack me, I'm afraid I will be overwhelmed by then."
"In this case, we might as well sell all the jade slips in our hands before the major forces take action." Lin Mu analyzed, "Once we sell the jade slips in several major cities, the millions of cultivators who buy the jade slips will be able to benefit, and it will not be controlled by a certain force. If they want to deal with us, they will have to ask these millions of cultivators whether they agree or not."
"Brother, you are far-sighted. If you do this, there will undoubtedly be fewer risks in the future." Hua Jin couldn't help but praise.
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
The first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer.
As long as he sells all the millions of jade slips, it will be a done deal. He has gradually become a force. Even if some forces feel threatened and want to deal with him, it will be difficult to shake his foundation.
Of course, during this period of time, he has to be more low-key and can't make a big fuss.
If Xing Qing hadn't sold the fake jade slips, his plan would have to wait for some time to be implemented, and he would have been much more relaxed by then.
The timing is not yet ripe for implementation now. While enjoying huge benefits, he also has to bear pressure from all sides. It is really a mixed blessing.
Take advantage of the fact that all the major forces have not reacted yet, and start early.
Piaomiao Fairyland is simply an epoch-making treasure. Many of its effects are groundbreaking and unprecedented. Lin Mu has great ambitions. He wants to create a storm that sweeps across the entire cultivation world. Now is just the embryonic stage, when he is the weakest, and he must be careful.
The most important thing at the moment is to sell all the jade slips in his hand.
The reputation that was lost before must be restored now.
This is not an easy task.
Reputation cannot be bought with spirit stones, but depends on how you do it.
Lin Mu immediately entered Piaomiao Fairyland and left a video in Qingniu's quiet room, telling Qingniu that the liar had been caught and asked him to go to Yunhuan City to join him.
Then, Lin Mu found that the Yuanying cultivator who had told him the clue before was waiting for news in Piaomiao Fairyland.
Lin Mu's mind moved, and the next moment, the figure transformed by his spiritual consciousness appeared in the quiet room where the Yuanying cultivator was.
Lin Mu's sudden appearance was extremely abrupt. The Yuanying cultivator's face changed drastically. When he reacted and turned around to see that it was Lin Mu, his face eased slightly.
"Can you enter and exit every quiet room at will?" The Yuanying cultivator asked in surprise.
"In this ethereal fairyland, I can." Lin Mu said with a smile, "May I ask your name?"
"I dare not." The Yuanying stage cultivator hurriedly said: "I am Yu Yue."
"Thanks to you for helping me this time." Lin Mu smiled and thanked sincerely, "Although you only told me the clues and did not catch the liar alive, I still want to give you a generous reward. This is an eighth-grade mental method. Please accept it."
While Lin Mu was speaking, he waved his hand on the Qinghuan wall of the quiet room, and a green light flashed instantly. After a moment, lines of text appeared on it.
An eighth-grade skill was copied on the Qinghuan wall in an instant.
Yu Yue took a look and saw that it was indeed an eighth-grade mental method. He was immediately excited and thanked him repeatedly.
It was so easy to get an eighth-grade skill. It was almost like picking it up.
Lin Mu's mind moved, and he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Which force do you belong to?"
"I am a casual cultivator." Yu Yue said hurriedly.
Lin Mu heard the words, and his smile became even stronger.
"I wonder if you are willing to develop Piaomiao Fairyland with me?" Lin Mu said with a smile, "I will never treat you unfairly in terms of treatment."
Yu Yue was stunned, and then asked: "Why choose me?"
"Because you are a casual cultivator, and now you have obtained the eighth-grade mental method, you have unlimited potential." Lin Mu said with a smile, "Piaomiao Fairyland is vast, I believe you also know that it is very difficult for me to develop alone. Now I urgently need to recruit talents to help, but I am afraid that cultivators from other forces will sneak in. Since you are a casual cultivator, we can be considered to have a good chat, so I asked more questions."
Yu Yue nodded hurriedly: "Of course I am willing."
"Where are you now?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
"I am in Yandong City." Yu Yue said with a smile.
"I'm going to Yunhuan City to sell the Jade Slips of Reception." Lin Mu smiled and said, "I just happened to pass by Yandong City. Let's meet up first. When we get to Yandong City, I'll ask you to help sell the Jade Slips of Reception. What do you think?"
Yu Yue nodded without saying anything, "Okay!"
Lin Mu smiled and said goodbye, and left Piaomiao Fairyland.
He took Xu Jiao, Hua Jin, and the sisters Xingqing and Xingyu to Yandong City. After meeting up with Yu Yue, they didn't say much. Lin Mu took everyone to Yunhuan City.
The sisters Xingqing and Xingyu have unique shape-changing skills. Yu Yue didn't see their true bodies, so he couldn't guess that they were the scammers before.
Regarding this matter, Lin Mu has warned Xu Jiao and Hua Jin not to tell anyone else, so as not to harm the safety of the sisters Xingqing and Xingyu, and it will not be good for him to sell the Jade Slips of Reception next time.
If people knew that he took in this scammer, it would be even more difficult to sell the Jade Slips of Reception.
He couldn't explain the whole story to every cultivator, so he had to do this.
Although this was a lie, it did not harm the cultivators who bought the jade slips.
On the contrary, he would compensate the cultivators who bought the fake jade slips.
When they arrived at Yunhuan City, Qingniu had been waiting outside the city for a long time. As soon as they met, Qingniu asked, "Where is the liar?"
"I have killed him!" Looking at Yu Yue, Lin Mu smiled.
"It's so easy to kill him, isn't it a bargain for him?" Qingniu said indignantly, "I ran for so long in vain."
Lin Mu looked at the embarrassed Xingqing and Xingyu sisters, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and hurriedly sent a message to Qingniu: "Don't say more about this, these two are Xingqing and Xingyu sisters, they are liars, but this is a misunderstanding, don't ask too much, I will tell you in detail later."
Qingniu looked at Xingqing and Xingyu suspiciously, then suppressed his doubts and nodded repeatedly.
As they were talking, they were about to enter Yunhuan City.
Xu Jiao was worried at this time, "How can the cultivators in Yunhuan City still believe us now, especially the 40,000 to 50,000 cultivators who were deceived, will they be excited and attack us?"
"It is indeed very difficult." Lin Mu smiled and comforted, "But there is no need to worry too much."
"Do you have another solution?" Xu Jiao asked in surprise.
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "Everything has two sides. These 40,000 to 50,000 cultivators who were deceived have deep resentment, but why can't they be used by me? They will help us."
"Are you bragging again?" Xu Jiao said half-doubtfully, "It would be a blessing if they don't make trouble, and they will help us?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Lin Mu said with a smile and confidence.
After he finished speaking, he headed towards Yunhuan City.
