Koukou Group made a grand entrance, and right from the start, it commanded attention. With Xu Feng as their powerful leader, the rise of Koukou Group was imminent.
In the following two days, Xu Feng held an extensive meeting that lasted all night with three Vice Leaders to discuss the development of Koukou Group. The focus of the meeting was on the group's work for the next five years.
During the meeting, the three Vice Leaders exchanged views on the current issues facing Koukou Group. Lin Fangxin emphasized that Koukou Group had emerged prominently and needed to design its logo quickly to promote its cultural development.
On-site supervisor Gao Jingsong pointed out that Koukou Group lacked unified martial arts techniques and that each department's Disciples were in short supply, necessitating an increase in recruitment efforts.
Yi Jiuzhou also offered constructive suggestions regarding the establishment of security forces.
After fully listening to their input, Xu Feng acknowledged the achievements of the three Vice Leaders, encouraging them to be bold in practice, unafraid of difficulties, and willing to invest money.
At the end of the meeting, Xu Feng personally designed an animal emblem as the group symbol for Koukou Group.
“Hey, Group Leader, what is this? I've never seen it before!”
“It looks chubby; it might be a rare spirit beast or an ancient divine creature.”
“Stop guessing and listen to Group Leader.”
Xu Feng rubbed his nose, cleared his throat, and said, “Well, this is called *.”
From then on, a little-known * appeared on the robes of Koukou Group.
Next, Koukou Group posted recruitment advertisements, providing numerous job opportunities for Liuxiang Kingdom Modern Clerk. These positions mainly included: Alchemist, Refiner, Spirit Beast Trainers, Guest Elders, Cooks, Public Relations Female Cultivator, and various levels of disciples.
To avoid disrupting the normal operations of Koukou Group, the recruitment site was arranged in the densely populated area of cultivators in Mist City. Lin Fangxin purchased a plot of land over a thousand square meters and temporarily set up a recruitment office as a future hiring location for Koukou Group, consulting with Xu Feng to name it: Immortal Talent Market.
The recruitment event at Immortal Talent Market was bustling with people; it was quite a spectacular scene. A large number of cultivators flocked in, eager to join Koukou Group.
The two major auction houses in Mist City also experienced a surge in business due to the influx brought by the Immortal Talent Market.
In the reception room of Jingcheng Auction, Xu Feng was quietly conversing with Yu Qingmu. Since facilitating Xu Feng's business last time, Yu Qingmu had been promoted to Deputy Manager of Mist City by Jingcheng Auction.
"I need to go to Zheguo; I know you have a way," Xu Feng said, having interacted with Yu Qingmu a few times, making them somewhat familiar with each other.
Yu Qingmu looked troubled and replied, "Group Leader Xu, to be honest, we do have a Teleportation Array to Zheguo, but it is strictly for internal use and cannot be lent out." With the emergence of Koukou Group, Yu Qingmu was well aware of the situation.
Seeing that no one was around, Xu Feng took out ten High-Quality Spirit Stones and handed them over. "Deputy Manager Yu has extensive connections; you must have a way."
High-Quality Spirit Stones were already scarce, and it was quite difficult for Xu Feng to produce ten.
However, Yu Qingmu pushed the spirit stones back and said, "Group Leader Xu, this exceeds my authority; I need the Manager's approval. The Manager will return on the fifteenth of next month. You can come by then, and I can introduce you."
The Manager of Jingcheng Auction had little connection with Xu Feng, making it uncertain whether he would grant this favor. Huo Jinxing could use Jingcheng Auction's Teleportation Array to enter Liuxiang Kingdom, suggesting that this Manager was at least a powerful figure on par with Huo Jinxing. Such high-ranking individuals rarely dealt with someone like Xu Feng.
Moreover, Cai Shujun had been sold to Zheguo and was in constant danger. Asking Xu Feng to wait another month was practically a death sentence for him.
"Deputy Manager Yu frequently visits Zheguo; have you heard of Sacred Cauldron Pavilion?" With no hope of using the array, Xu Feng shifted to gathering information.
"Sacred Cauldron Pavilion?" Yu Qingmu looked at Xu Feng oddly and ambiguously remarked, "Group Leader, what an extraordinary talent you are! I didn't expect you to have such interests. You wouldn't be traveling all the way to Zheguo just to experience the charm of Sacred Cauldron Pavilion, would you?"
There was something off; seeing him smile so slyly raised suspicions.
Xu Feng replied, "I’ve only heard people mention it occasionally; I genuinely want to see it. However, I'm not familiar with Zheguo or Sacred Cauldron Pavilion, so I’d appreciate your introduction."
"I'm not that kind of person," Yu Qingmu said with a feigned seriousness before continuing, "However, Sacred Cauldron Pavilion is very famous in Zheguo. If Group Leader truly doesn't know about it, I can give you a brief overview since I won't be going there myself."
Seeing Yu Qingmu's expression, Xu Feng had already guessed most of it and felt a chill run down his spine.
Sure enough, Yu Qingmu explained, "Sacred Cauldron Pavilion is the largest gathering place for Female Cultivators in Zheguo. It houses Female Cultivators of various realms who specialize in providing services for male cultivators' Ding Lu practices—essentially equivalent to brothels in the mortal realm... Hey, Group Leader! Don't run away; I'm not finished..."
Xu Feng could no longer sit still; Cai Shujun had been sold to a brothel and could be serving clients at any moment. It was understandable that he couldn't act when he was injured, but now that he had recovered, he couldn't forgive himself for not rescuing her.
Xu Fengxin was anxious and quickly unleashed the Wings of the Strange Dragon, racing back to Bailu Mountain. He hurriedly summoned three Vice Leaders.
Xu Feng took out a storage bag and handed it to Lin Fangxin. Inside were thirty thousand High-Quality Spirit Stones, equivalent to one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. With this amount of money, they could recruit more people and, combined with Koukou Group's own operations, it would be enough to handle emergencies and ensure the sect's stable functioning.
Seeing Xu Feng in such a hurry, the three spoke in unison, "Group Leader, what happened?"
"I need to leave immediately to rescue Cai Shujun in Zheguo. You three will handle Koukou Group's matters," Xu Feng continued, "The New Moon Sect still owes me a favor. If there are any issues you can't resolve, you can ask Elder Qiu for help. Bring Chu Wushang to me; I will go to Zheguo with him. I informed him of Cai Shujun's whereabouts during the last ritual, so he should know what I'm up to."
Koukou Group had just been established. If Xu Feng left, it would surely attract trouble if others found out. Therefore, he instructed the three to keep this secret strictly between them and only let two key figures from the New Moon Sect know. Qiu Wuling had been in seclusion recovering from injuries since returning from Wuhua Island, so Xu Feng hadn't had the chance to see her.
Chu Wushang had survived a great calamity and already regarded Xu Feng as his savior. With his support for Koukou Group, they could expect nearly a century of stable development in Liuxiang Kingdom.
Xu Feng then took out the Crack Sword and handed it to Yi Jiuzhou, saying, "Right now, you are the strongest in Koukou Group with your abilities. This sword is a gift for you; don't use it lightly unless absolutely necessary."
Yi Jiuzhou accepted the Crack Sword and replied, "Group Leader, don't worry. As long as I'm here, Koukou Group will not suffer any losses."
Xu Feng turned his gaze to Gao Jingsong and said, "Jingsong, your task is the heaviest. While I'm away, you will act as the temporary Group Leader of Koukou Group. You need to take care of everything." This effectively established Gao Jingsong's position among the three; Yi Jiuzhou and Lin Fangxin understood Xu Feng's intention.
Yi Jiuzhou excelled in swordsmanship while Lin Fangxin was skilled in management; indeed, managing the sect was Gao Jingsong's strong suit. It was only fitting for him to take on this role as acting Group Leader.
Gao Jingsong replied earnestly, "Group Leader, don't worry. Koukou Group was founded by the four of us; I will invest all my efforts here. As long as I am here, Koukou Group lives; if it falls, I fall with it."
Xu Feng nodded. Hearing Gao Jingsong speak so seriously made him want to give him something in return. However, after searching through his belongings, all he found were some pills. Meanwhile, Gao Jingsong took out a booklet and said, "Group Leader, this is what Master Ancestor asked me to give you."
The Master Ancestor Gao Jingsong referred to was Zhu Wanda, the Grand Elder of Wan Jian Sect.
"What is this?" Xu Feng asked as he received the booklet. He saw that it was titled "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation." His heart stirred; this was actually a Sword Manual for a Sword Formation. Coincidentally, Xu Feng already had a Gale Sword Formation manual; perhaps these two Sword Formations would have some complementary aspects.
Gao Jingsong said, "Master Ancestor, this Sword Formation has only been mastered slightly by the first generation sect leader since the founding of the sect, hence it is named Wan Jian Sect. For nearly a thousand years, no one has been able to practice it. Master Ancestor, I hope to pass it on to Group Leader, hoping that through Group Leader's opportunity, I can glimpse its profound meanings and ensure that the Wan Jian Sect Sword Formation is passed down."
Xu Feng had practiced the Gale Sword Formation and knew that such complete Sword Formations were very difficult to cultivate. It was not surprising that apart from one person, no one else could unleash the power of this Sword Formation.
Putting it away into his ring, Xu Feng said, "I will go out now. Please convey my thanks to Zhu Senior on my behalf. I will do my utmost to decipher the essence of the Sword Formation and not let my senior down."
The foundational Cultivation Method of Koukou Group was entirely based on the Wan Jian Sect Cultivation Method; there was not a single one that was originally created by Koukou Group. In fact, the current Koukou Group resembled a renamed version of Wan Jian Sect.
Throughout history, those who could create their own martial arts Cultivation Methods were all exceptionally talented individuals. Xu Feng could teach them how to play online games, but creating a Cultivation Method would be exceedingly difficult. He couldn't just teach them Archery Skills; Archery Skills were a function of Golden Finger, and it would be hard for others to achieve results with it. If they failed to master Archery Skills and turned Koukou Group into mere hunters instead.
If he encountered any good Cultivation Methods during this outing, he must bring back a few to enhance Koukou Group's facade.
After securing the Martial Arts Manual for the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation, Xu Feng took out all the Sixth-Level Concentration Pills he had seized, leaving only some Healing Pills. Nearly a hundred bottles of Sixth-Level Elixir were packed into another storage bag and handed over to Gao Jingsong; these pills would be used to nurture some outstanding disciples of Koukou Group.
Gao Jingsong and the others received the Super Sixth Level Yuan Spirit Pills specially crafted by Xu Feng. These pills had strong targeted effects and long-lasting efficacy, being twice as potent as ordinary Concentration Pills. Given their talents and cultivation speed, advancing to the Late Stage of Golden Core was merely a matter of time. Especially for Yi Jiuzhou, whose exceptional talent allowed him to rise two levels in quick succession; breaking through to the late stage was already a certainty. With Xu Feng having just given him the Crack Sword, it would not be easy for Liuxiang Kingdom to find someone who could match him.
There were too many unknowns in Zheguo, so Xu Feng did not dare to bring anyone along. Moreover, with the current strength of these individuals, they wouldn't be able to help in Zheguo either. After explaining what needed to be done after his departure, Xu Feng released Wings of the Strange Dragon and flew towards Beast Wasteland.
