After escorting Gu Yuxiao to her residence, Liu Yunan waited outside.
Entering the room alone, Gu Yuxiao took out all her messy luggage stuffed in her storage bag and put them away one by one. Then, she could not wait to walk out of the room and follow Liu Yunan down the mountain to eat.
Today's dinner was prepared by Martial Uncle Jiang Youfu!
Having tasted his cooking several times at the escort agency before, for a period of time after every meal, she always felt that her usual favorite foods tasted bland.
Now, she could finally eat Martial Uncle Jiang's cooking every day!
At the dining table, after Gu Yuxiao greeted everyone according to their sect seniority, the meal officially began.
Everyone at the table had a higher seniority than her, and of course, the highest was Lin Xiao.
She called Lin Xiao "Grandmaster".
Because Qin Jianghe told her that strictly speaking, Lin Xiao was the master of all of them.
Therefore, Gu Yuxiao felt no pressure at all calling him Grandmaster.
However, Lin Xiao felt very uncomfortable hearing it.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
After all, Jiang Youfu had been meticulously preparing for this ever since he heard that Gu Yuxiao was coming.
A night passed.
Early the next morning, Gu Yuxiao first followed everyone to the cultivation room to cultivate, and then toured the entire sect under Liu Yunan's guidance.
She did not even miss the recently built spiritual herb garden.
While they were touring the sect, Lin Xiao was in the sect hall studying matters regarding expansion.
It could not be helped; the cultivation room was not large to begin with, and with more people, it had become a bit crowded.
This problem was very obvious during the New Year.
Before, everyone thought it was fine. They were all on the same side anyway, so being a bit crowded was just being a bit crowded; being close to each other fostered intimacy.
But now that Gu Yuxiao was here, Lin Xiao felt that this problem needed to be solved as soon as possible.
Ever since the Nature Terrace incident, Lin Xiao knew that these buildings could be synthesized a second time.
So it would not be difficult to expand the cultivation room now; he just needed to put in more building materials and spirit gathering arrays.
Thus, another day passed.
Early in the morning, when the people of the Lingxian Sect went to cultivate, they found that the cultivation room had become much larger and more spacious.
It was so big that they could even do somersaults in it without bumping into anyone.
As for other places like the Artifact Forging Hall and the Formation Hall, Lin Xiao did not touch them for the time being.
Because the number of people studying each skill currently did not exceed a handful, the area of these places was still completely sufficient.
As for the Sect Hall, Lin Xiao also did not touch it for now.
He had some other plans for it.
Anyway, even if the current number of sect members went to hold a meeting, the sect hall was more than enough to accommodate them, so there was no rush.
Ever since Gu Yuxiao finished touring the sect on the second day, she had not been idle.
After finishing her cultivation every day, she had to follow Liu Yunan to purchase the things needed for the inn and the restaurant according to Lin Xiao's requirements.
Because she was the future manager, Qin Jianghe meant that she had to personally handle all these things; this was specifically mentioned in the letter Qin Jianghe sent back.
Thus, Gu Yuxiao's busy life as a manager began, and her previously relaxed and boring life in the sect was gone forever.
At the same time, the Lingxian Sect also began recruiting people in the village.
Apart from the chef candidate that the village chief had negotiated beforehand, they also had to recruit many waiters, but Lin Xiao called them service staff, so the people of the Lingxian Sect also followed suit.
Lin Xiao told Gu Yuxiao all the requirements for the service staff and personally trained her for two hours, after which Gu Yuxiao understood his requirements.
In addition, Lin Xiao also roughly explained the business strategies of the two shops to her, and demonstrated how to use all the new facilities in the shops one by one.
It was worth mentioning that Gu Yuxiao's learning and comprehension abilities were quite strong. Lin Xiao only needed to point out many things, and she could instantly understand.
This made Lin Xiao's teaching job very easy.
He could not help but sigh in his heart that Jianghe really found them a good manager.
Thus, Gu Yuxiao officially took over the subsequent matters of liaising with the village chief to recruit villagers and decorating the shops.
After completely taking over the follow-up matters of the shops, she began to investigate the daily changes in the foot traffic of Xiushui Village.
Then, based on the internal processes of their shops and the changes in foot traffic, she calculated the number of service staff needed.
Once the preliminary number of employees needed was calculated, the recruitment of service staff for the two shops began in full swing in the village.
Hearing that these two immortal sect shops were recruiting, the villagers were very excited, rubbing their hands together and vowing to secure one of the spots.
Not only them, but even some wealthy families staying in Xiushui Village were tempted. Being a waiter in a shop opened by an immortal sect would mean having a connection with the sect and an opportunity to contact immortals. Would that not be equivalent to stepping half a foot into the immortal sect?
However, they had some dilemmas that the villagers would not have.
They struggled over whether to sign up themselves or send their servants.
If they went themselves, being just a waiter would be somewhat degrading.
But if they sent their own servants, what if the servant obtained an immortal destiny? Would that not be equivalent to making a wedding dress for someone else?
The villagers of Xiushui Village did not have the dilemmas of these wealthy people. They did not care about what was degrading or not; they only knew that following the immortals would definitely bring benefits.
Just signing up was all that mattered!
Not only the villagers of Xiushui Village, but even the villagers from the surrounding areas hurried over after hearing the news.
Although Xiushui Village was right under the immortal sect and had a geographical advantage, it was not guaranteed that the immortals would not find these outsiders more pleasing to the eye.
Thus, for a time, Xiushui Village became incredibly bustling again because of the recruitment for the Lingxian Sect's two shops.
Fortunately, with the Lingxian Sect present, and the patrol team led by Tietou diligently patrolling around the village every day, no trouble arose.
Gu Yuxiao's efficiency was very high.
While balancing both the decoration and the service staff, she had handled all the miscellaneous matters, and the service staff were successfully recruited within three days.
Most of them were from Xiushui Village, but there were also a few from outside the village.
As for the people from those wealthy families, in the end, there was not a single one.
Because they could neither lower their status to be waiters nor were they willing to let their servants try their luck.
The shop decoration was all completed in just five days.
Gu Yuxiao spent all the remaining time training these newly recruited service staff.
These villagers were all handpicked by her. After interacting with them, she felt they were quite obedient, grounded, willing to work hard, and not stupid either.
And so, after all this and that, everything was ready.
Fifteen days later, the Lingxian Restaurant and Lingxian Inn officially opened in Xiushui Village.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.

Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.
