As the conversation deepened and expanded, Chu Shen and Cheng Suwei, although not yet lovers, were definitely friends.

He also learned a lot of niche knowledge from each other.

No, it shouldn't be called niche knowledge. It's just that these knowledge rarely appear among ordinary people and low-level cultivators. She also spent a lot of effort collecting relevant information to understand them. Now she is telling Chu Shen without reservation, which is a kind of trust and acceptance towards him.

Especially in terms of luck, fortune-telling, divination, and other mysterious things, it opened Chu Shen's eyes and made him understand that Cheng Suwei's belief in her divination is not superstition, but one of the profound arts supported by theories.

"Destined fate?"

After bidding farewell to the cheerful Cheng Suwei, Chu Shen looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see what his destiny looked like in the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao in Dongxuan Heaven.

...

In the following days, the time spent together by the young man and woman increased.

It is obvious that the Tai Ping Sect knows about Cheng Suwei's movements, but there is no obstruction, and they are happy to see her succeed.

Even if it is for the sake of Cheng Suwei's soft pleading, Chu Shen has to give some response.

He decided to first get in touch with the financial black hole of the Tai Ping Sect to see the situation. As a result, Cheng Suwei brought a pile of account books, and the complicated and old accounts made him lose his temper. Even the intention to exercise with Shangguan Shurong was worn away.

He definitely couldn't handle so many messy accounts alone, so he formulated a certain format and found a bunch of financial personnel to help.

Fortunately, the influence of the Chu family in Nanping City's mortal society is not a joke. When other families learned about his needs, they sent their own accountants and accountants to help him check the accounts. After five days, the complex and chaotic financial accounts of the Tai Ping Sect were finally preliminarily sorted out.

How should I put it?

There is only one word to describe the result: shocking.

Anyway, the fact that the financial accounts of the Tai Ping Sect have not collapsed until today is already impressive for the person managing the finances.

"I really don't know how the Tai Ping Sect has managed to maintain its dignity until today," Chu Shen complained to Cheng Suwei after sorting out the financial situation of the Tai Ping Sect.

Overall, the Tai Ping Sect has many industries and substantial income, but the problem is that there are too many people to support.

You wouldn't believe it until you calculate it, but a mere local sect has nearly fifty thousand people serving it!

Among them, there are only a little over a hundred cultivators, and when you add their families, it's just over a thousand people. The rest are all ordinary people, distributed in various industries of the Tai Ping Sect. There are over thirty thousand tenants marked as "tenant households"!

Unfortunately, in recent years, there have been natural disasters and man-made calamities, leading to a significant decrease in agricultural income.

If it were a legitimate landlord, at this critical moment, it would be normal to terminate the tenancy agreements and let the tenants fend for themselves. However, the Tai Ping Sect has gone against the norm. Not only did they reduce rent and interest, but they also provided assistance to some tenants.

This has become a huge burden for the Tai Ping Sect.

Chu Shen doesn't know what the upper and lower levels of the Tai Ping Sect are thinking, but this approach has made him deeply involved in helping the Tai Ping Sect.

This sect is not bad.

However, there was another huge deficit that left him dumbfounded.

During his previous investigation, he discovered that the Taiping Sect would transport a large amount of supplies and money from Nanping City at regular intervals. However, he couldn't find specific data on the exact quantity, nor did he know where the transported money and supplies ended up.

Now that he knew, the total amount was astronomical, causing him great unease.

Does Cheng Man, the sect leader, know about this?

Do the members of the Taiping Sect know about such a large deficit?

Could it be that people within the Taiping Sect are embezzling?

If Cheng Suwei hadn't mentioned that these were normal circumstances and that the Taiping Sect was offering these supplies as tribute to their superior sect, he would definitely worry about encountering assassins one night.

However, this also puzzled him: "I know that the old master of the Wuguan Martial Arts Hall in the west of the city, Wuxiongshan, comes from the Yunshan Sword Sect. Because he owed a huge amount of tuition fees when he was studying, he has to contribute a significant amount of tribute every year. Is the Taiping Sect in the same situation?"

Cheng Suwei told him, "No, it's not like that. Whether it's the main sect or the branches of the Taiping Sect, we are all connected by the same spirit. There is no exploitative relationship like that. The reason we offer so much tribute is that the main sect has to support more people in need, such as disaster victims. If we have the ability, we will definitely do our part."

Chu Shen was shocked, "Are you guys some kind of charity organization? So compassionate?"

Cheng Suwei's expression turned serious, with a hint of sanctity, and she said, "The world is full of hardships, and sentient beings suffer. We sympathize with their hardships and carry the benevolent way in our hearts. Seeking goodness and the path of cultivation is the way of the various branches of the Taiping Sect."

Since we have embarked on this path of cultivation, we must forge ahead with courage and determination, never slackening!

Chu Shen had never heard of the Tai Ping Sect before... Oh, it should be the path practiced by the Tai Ping Dao and its branches.

The cultivation paths of the various sects in the Dong Xuan Heaven are different, each with its own secret methods. He didn't know how the Tai Ping Dao and its branches practiced, but the intention behind it is truly admirable.

Moreover, from the actions of the Tai Ping Sect, it seems that they still uphold this ideal.

It turns out that this is a sect with great ideals!

He became quite curious about the Tai Ping Sect and its main sect, the Tai Ping Dao, and had a certain fondness for them.

"Alright, your cultivation philosophy has moved me. Plus, because of your face, I've decided to help improve the financial situation of the Tai Ping Sect."

Although Chu Shen wasn't a professional in this field, there were many cases on Blue Star that he could refer to. He wasn't lacking in ideas for development.

For a sect like the Tai Ping Sect, the biggest problem at the moment is the significant impact of natural disasters and man-made calamities on agricultural production, leading to a sharp decline in income and serious deficits. Therefore, efforts should be made to minimize the impact of these disasters, organize self-help initiatives, improve agricultural infrastructure, enhance cultivation techniques, and supplement with high-value-added agricultural products, among other measures.

At the same time, investment in agricultural product processing can be strengthened, as processed products are often worth much more than raw materials.

Furthermore, the Tai Ping Sect can also expand its production capacity for cultivation realm products and introduce some of these products to the mortal realm. This kind of thing can make a lot of money!
