Chapter 643: Chapter 309: Immigration System—What the Heck Is That?

Not only targeted at the Qingmu Sect, Zheng Fa intends to reform the system of the Hundred Immortals Alliance—or rather, to standardize the immigration system.

Coincidentally, Zhang has returned from her patrol in the mortal world. She traveled around to verify the resource data of the Jiushan Realm’s common world.

Zheng Fa straightforwardly gathered her, along with Xiao Yuying and Lady Xuanhua, to discuss the matter.

“Technical immigration?” Zhang was a bit puzzled, “Like before, having each sect in the Hundred Immortals Alliance send a batch of disciples over?”

“Not quite so.” Zheng Fa carefully chose his words, pondering how to explain, “This time, it became apparent that our Jiushan Sect’s foundations are still insufficient, particularly in aspects like the cultivation arts, alchemy, and artifact refining. It’s exceptionally lacking, and may hinder our development speed.”

“But if we have them send disciples, it might provoke dissatisfaction within the Hundred Immortals Alliance. If we forcefully enlist them, I wouldn’t trust those coming, and if it goes too far, it might even incite chaos.”

Although the relevant elixir recipes were understood, to be honest, from the recipe to forming the Golden Core, and then conducting efficacy experiments, there is a long way to go—Xuanwei Realm’s cultivators might be eager to consume once it’s refined, but Zheng Fa dared not:

One can’t conduct human experiments; there must at least be animal experiments, right?

He isn’t reckless enough to eat just anything.

For Jiushan Sect and Zheng Fa, time truly means life at this point, efficiency is paramount, and they can’t afford to wait.

Moreover, the “Jiushan Golden Core Method” is vital for Zheng Fa’s Nascent Soul formation.

But on the other hand, Zheng Fa also wishes to avoid causing turmoil within the Hundred Immortals Alliance:

On one hand, a stable market is essential.

On the other hand, even though these sects might not pose a threat to Zheng Fa currently, it’s mainly because Jiushan Sect has too many affairs to attend to, leaving no energy for dealing with civil unrest.

Zhang and Xiao Yuying exchanged glances, both acknowledging yet wondering about the plan.

“So what do you propose?”

“I wish to establish an immigration system covering the entire Hundred Immortals Alliance to attract skilled cultivators, allowing them to contribute to the development of Jiushan Sect.”

Zhang’s brow furrowed instantly; she looked at Zheng Fa and said, “This is no easy feat; it’s their livelihood, and no major sect would let their people go.”

Lady Xuanhua also nodded in agreement. Making a living through artifact refining, she understood these cultivators’ mindset; if someone were to seize her exclusive artifact refining Secret Technique, it would be akin to asking for her life.

“This matter requires caution; a single misstep could cause instability in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.”

This time, Zhang rarely did not side with Zheng Fa but rather advised against it.

The strength of the Hundred Immortals Alliance sects isn’t much to Jiushan Sect; however, the problem is that Jiushan Sect currently lacks the energy to handle any disorder.

Zheng Fa glanced at her and, seeing her worried expression, understood she feared he might make impulsive decisions under pressure.

Zheng Fa nodded to her, not holding Zhang’s opposition against her but explaining, “Therefore, what I wish for now is merely a reform of the Hundred Immortals Alliance system, not coercion.”

“How would you change it?”

Zhang, seeing that he seemed to have thought it through, asked curiously.

“Previously, my perception of the Hundred Immortals Alliance was to treat it as a commercial alliance; they provide the market and raw materials, and we protect with safety.”

Ultimately, Zheng Fa still did not quite trust the cultivators of the Hundred Immortals Alliance—being the cautious person he is, he only ever trusted the group cultivated within Jiushan Realm.

“But now, with the unpredictable changes in the Xuanwei Realm, my Jiushan Sect must take a proactive stance.”

Zhang and Xiao Yuying listened attentively.

“Select from within the Hundred Immortals Alliance those sects or cultivators willing to share technology and assist in our development.”

“…”

Lady Xuanhua’s expression seemed a bit strange, as if her face read: Are there such fools in the world?

Seemingly understanding her expression, Zheng Fa explained:

“Of course, these individuals won’t be left without gains.”

“First, they will receive dividends from the profits generated by those technologies.”

Lady Xuanhua nodded slightly.

This was something others might not comprehend, but being a businesswoman, she could.

In essence, this is a trade of technology for market access.

He needed the Hundred Immortals Alliance sects or cultivators with skills to present genuine contributions, creating a joint venture-like entity with Jiushan Sect.

Zheng Fa set to offer the grand market of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, even the expansive market established by maritime trade routes.

From her perspective, these conditions were tempting enough.

“Secondly…” Zheng Fa pondered for a moment, “After accumulating a certain level of contributions, our Jiushan Sect will allow them to enter the Jiushan Realm, granting them permission to study and reside within.”

Zhang’s expression flickered slightly, her tone peculiar, “Junior brother, are you offering…benefits?”

Even the usually composed Xiao Yuying couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Can anyone enter or leave the Jiushan Realm at will?

With her considerable background, could she even leave after entering the Jiushan Realm?

Yet Zheng Fa smiled and asked Lady Xuanhua, “To set aside other discussions, Lady Xuanhua, have you ever regretted joining Jiushan Sect?”

Lady Xuanhua opened her mouth, evidently a bit embarrassed, and chose to remain silent.

But this silence was indeed the answer.

Even Xiao Yuying had to admit that compared to the outside world, Jiushan Realm had many advantages—such as its openness to Immortal Law, increasingly abundant materials, and a stable environment.

Perhaps some cultivators who thrive on chaos dislike it.

But honestly, the reason she was willing to remain in Jiushan Realm for so long was certainly not for fear of the Heart Demon Oath.
