114: Chapter 114 Those who work with their minds rule others, and those who work with their hands are ruled by others

At this moment, only five women remained in the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion. As the saying goes, ‘three women make a play,’ so with five women gathered, there would certainly be no less drama, especially with a newcomer among them.

Wang Zhaojun only wanted to quickly study the Thunder Light Body Tempering Technique her husband had just mentioned. She had no interest in Alchemy or Artifact Refining, and was even less willing to be an assistant to the newcomer.

In her opinion, it would be better to Cultivate more in her free time.

So, she rolled her eyes, smiled cunningly, and said:

"Sisters, what my husband said about 'toiling with the mind' and 'toiling with the body' left me completely confused.

Why don't we just pick a Spiritual Planter as a side profession to appease our husband?

Don't forget, the four of us all have Five Spiritual Roots. If we don't Cultivate diligently, when will we ever achieve Foundation Establishment?

How about we leave all these matters to Du jiejie, the newcomer? What do you all think?"

"Alright! I have no objection. Since I'm new, it's only right for me to work harder."

Du Xiaoyue agreed without a second thought.

"No!"

Qin Wenjun, Yang Yuhuan, and Li Qianqian all objected in unison.

Qin Wenjun looked at Wang Zhaojun with a mix of anger and helplessness, saying:

"Zhaojun, have you practiced so much that your brain has turned to mush?

When you're not Cultivating, you should read more books. Although reading can't improve your cultivation, it can make you smarter.

If it weren't for the fact that we've been through life and death together these past few years, I wouldn't even bother talking to you.

'Those who toil with their minds govern others; those who toil with their bodies are governed by others' means that mental laborers can control others, while physical laborers can only be controlled by others.

When our husband assigns us these tasks, it looks like he's just telling us what to do.

But in reality, he's empowering us, and that's a good thing.

Take Du jiejie, the newcomer, for example. Her power is not small. She has to manage our Wang Family's business, acquiring various Materials from around White Cloud City, transporting them to West Sea City for sale, and then buying things from West Sea City to sell back here.

Doesn't that sound troublesome?"

"Yes! When I was shopping in White Cloud City, I saw those shops that collect Yao Beast Materials. It seemed so complicated. They have to stay in the shop all day, how would they have time to Cultivate?"

Wang Zhaojun nodded in agreement repeatedly.

Qin Wenjun was so exasperated by her words that she almost burst out laughing.

"Qianqian, you tell her! I never realized she was so 'innocent and cute' before!"

"Hehe, Sister, don't be angry. There are only a few of us in the Family now, so we must be united. Otherwise, if the Family doesn't develop well, it won't be good for anyone."

Li Qianqian not only wasn't angry, but she also comforted Qin Wenjun a few words, then turned to Wang Zhaojun and gently explained:

"Zhaojun, Du jiejie managing the Wang Family's business is equivalent to controlling a portion of the Family's economic lifeline.

Furthermore, 'those who toil with their minds govern others' means that you don't have to do everything yourself; you just arrange for others to do it.

As the Family grows stronger, there will be more and more Family members, and the demand for Cultivation resources will increase daily. How to distribute them then will be a big problem.

Don't think about distributing everything equally; good things must be fought for.

If you control the distribution rights, you will certainly get your share.

Just like how our husband asked each of us to learn a skill; he's actually distributing power to us.

For example, since my Spiritual Root is primarily water-attributed, I'm suitable for raising Spiritual Fish or being a Spiritual Planter. Of course, with our Five Spiritual Roots, we can try anything and learn whatever is suitable.

If I learn to be a Spiritual Planter, then matters like the Family's cultivation of Spirit Medicine and raising Spiritual Fish will gradually fall under my management. I can gain many conveniences from this and acquire more Cultivation resources in the future.

I suggest that the five of us each learn a different skill to avoid duplication and future conflicts.

Moreover, all of us have Five Spiritual Roots, and the resources needed for Cultivation will increase in the future. We cannot put all our hopes on others; we are actually lucky enough already.

Look at Captain Huang Youcai. In terms of Aptitude, strength, and ability, he is much stronger than us.

I remember when I first met him, he looked so high and mighty. At that time, I was still a Mortal, and I was very envious.

But now, he humbly kneels before our husband, pledging loyalty, just for the Foundation Establishment Pill that our husband verbally promised!

Think about it carefully, how lucky we are! You'll know if you go ask around in White Cloud City.

I heard that several female Cultivators with Five Spiritual Roots and Four Spiritual Roots have arrived and are wandering around White Cloud City all day. They probably dream of living in the City Lord's Mansion!

I suggest each of us go to the Family's newly built library to choose a side profession that suits us, and then we can discuss it so we don't choose the same one.

Finally, be more proactive at night and give our husband a few children early.

Our husband is now single-mindedly focused on developing the Family. He's not like you imagine, only loving you and unable to live without you for this life.

Cultivators have a long lifespan. I heard that our husband will soon advance to a Golden Core cultivator. At that time, he will live for five hundred years, and our descendants will increase over time. We must firmly grasp this opportunity to distribute power."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Du Xiaoyue couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically after listening, saying with a smile on her face:

"Haha, that was wonderfully said! I originally thought you few Qi Refining second-level female Cultivators had no insight, but it turns out only one of you isn't clever.

Hehe, Zhaojun, don't be angry.

You are absolutely right. As women, we are inherently weaker, and our Cultivation talent is not good, especially you few, who all have Five Spiritual Roots.

It's not easy to find a good husband, and now we have such a good opportunity. We must seize it.

It's better to rely on oneself than on others. Besides, you've only been in the Cultivation World for a few years, and you don't even know how difficult it is to earn Spirit Stones, or how much money it costs to learn Alchemy and Artifact Refining. How lucky we are!

Our husband said that you all must follow my instructions and study with me in the shop for a while to familiarize yourselves with the various Materials of the Cultivation World."

"Hmph! Although what you said makes sense, you want to be the older sister as soon as you arrive?"

"Of course. In the Cultivation World, seniority is always determined by cultivation, and I am also older than you."

Du Xiaoyue naturally believed she should be the eldest sister.

"How old are you?"

Yang Yuhuan asked curiously.

"I'm fifty this year!"

"What? You're fifty? Older than my mother! How do you still look so fair and tender?"

Qin Wenjun exclaimed in surprise, and the other women also turned their gaze to Du Xiaoyue.

"Hmph! Am I not older than your mother, Princess Qin! Each of you call me 'jiejie' to hear, and if I'm happy, I might give you Medicinal Pills that can keep you young!"

"Jiejie!"

"Du jiejie!"

"I, Wang Zhaojun, will recognize you as my eldest sister from now on!"

Du Xiaoyue was secretly pleased. 'Hehe, I can easily handle you girls.'

She became the eldest sister without any effort.

"The Beauty Preserving Pill, each pill can maintain your current appearance for ten to twenty years. It's best to take one every fifteen years!"

"Me! Me! Jiejie! You are my true sister from now on!"

Qin Wenjun and the other women scrambled.

"I only have one pill left now. Whoever eats it first, I'll buy more for you when I go to West Sea City!"

"Me! I'm the oldest, I'll eat it first!"

"I still look old! I want to eat it first!"

"Your skin is all more tender than mine..."
