CHAPTER 647: CHAPTER 310: THE WORST COMPARISON, VISITING JIUSHAN_2

Everyone in the hall was bewildered. This tour... What’s it all about?

...

Half a month later.

On Heavenly Palace Island, Song Sect Leader, leading three elders along with Zhao Jingfan, was aimlessly staring back at a group of smirking women.

"Sect Leader Xin? You from the Su Nu Pavilion... also here for a tour?"

Song Sect Leader’s expression was one of words left unsaid, speaking yet stopping, and he asked in a peculiar tone.

Su Nu Pavilion was also one of the nine major sects of the former Hundred Immortals Alliance, specializing in... Bewitching Technique.

The Xunfang Building, which had great business throughout the Hundred Immortals Alliance, was run by them.

They came for a tour to join some sort of technological alliance.

So Sect Leader Xin should be here for the same reason... but isn’t the Su Nu Pavilion’s technology a bit outrageous?

Four people walked out from the grand hall of Heavenly Palace Island.

Leading them was Zhang, her face adorned with a smile, but no one dared to look at her directly... Zheng Fa’s achievements were outrageous, and Zhang’s Quiet Bamboo was definitely not to be underestimated.

Zhang was followed by Master Qian, Jiao Wuji, and Yuan.

As soon as they emerged, Zhang casually threw out several confidentiality agreements, her demeanor increasingly adept.

"This is..."

"You can take a look at the terms inside. If you feel unwilling, I’m afraid visiting the Jiushan Realm might be inconvenient."

Song Sect Leader froze for a moment, and looked through the agreement content.

The agreement was long, but the wording was straightforward, making it easy to understand.

He felt slightly excited inside; such confidentiality agreements indicated that the Jiushan Sect would indeed show him something real.

The Qingmu Sect people exchanged glances and turned their heads to see Sect Leader Xin and the Su Nu Sect members already signed, seemingly without even reading the content...

Song Sect Leader immediately stopped thinking too much and hurriedly signed his name.

Zhang glanced at them and nodded:

"Qingmu Sect, follow me."

"Su Nu Pavilion, follow Jiao Wuji."

Because of her considerable authority nowadays, no one dared to say much, each went on their own way.

Song Sect Leader led the Qingmu Sect members, alongside Zhang and Master Qian.

Tour guide Zhang introduced diligently:

"The first place we need to visit is Jingkai Island Market."

"Jingkai Island is the only island in Jiushan Realm open freely to outsiders, without confidentiality levels."

Song Sect Leader laughed: "We know that. We actually have a shop in that market."

He was a perceptive and flexible person. When Jingkai Island Market was first established, the Qingmu Sect rented a shop there.

Yet soon after the market opened, the Qingmu Sect suffered two misfortunes, so the shop essentially never operated much.

So to speak, does the Qingmu Sect actually have a kind of asset?

Unfortunately, it’s just a shop... rented.

"I know." Zhang knew everything about the Jiushan Realm and continued, "But your shop hasn’t operated much. Someone wants to contact you, to ask if you’re willing to transfer it."

"Transfer?"

Song Sect Leader was stunned and curiously asked: "What’s the deal?"

"They are willing to pay a transfer fee."

Zhang thought for a moment and quoted a figure.

The elder’s eyes widened instantly.

"The shop hasn’t even opened, and with one go, we can earn ten times the rental cost?"

He turned abruptly, looked at Song Sect Leader, and signaled with his eyes: "Sell it!"

God bless, the Qingmu Sect was so poor that its disciples nearly went crazy; though a small amount of Spirit Stones before, now... how to say?

It meant going from barely scrapping together a meal to living lavishly with wine today.

Song Sect Leader was also very excited inside but tried hard to suppress his euphoria and wanted to go see Jingkai Island Market.

The shop had increased in value, must have a reason, right?

He followed Zhang to Jingkai Island.

Just as he walked off Rainbow Bridge, he halted.

The prosperity before their eyes left the Qingmu Sect people speechless, unable to utter a word.

On the three horizontal and three vertical streets, customers crowded shoulder to shoulder, particularly in some congested shop entrances where turning around was almost impossible.

Neon lights, noisy chatter, the whole Jingkai Island Market looked as if it was steaming with enthusiasm.

If ordinary cultivators were there, they naturally wouldn’t feel much.

But here, the few from Qingmu Sect, who all knew how tough it was to manage affairs, now faced with difficulty, their minds were overwhelmed by the spectacle.

Thoughts turned to the now sparse Qingmu Sect Market with barely a few cats and dogs, compared with before; this... was what the Qingmu Sect Market of dreams should have been.

"No wonder someone wants to sublet their shop..."

At this moment, the elder also awoke.

With such a flow of guests, the shops are indeed treasure troves!

Song Sect Leader looked outward from the market and noticed that at some point, Jingkai Island had acquired a dock, where a dozen or so ships with peculiar design were berthed.

Zhang followed his gaze and saw Han Qi was at the dock welcoming passengers off the ship, she couldn’t help but smile too.

She held a deep impression of Han Qi.

This person, through twists and turns, was one of the earliest to side with the Jiushan Sect, having some luck.

Now he had reached Foundation Establishment.

And indeed... he managed the fleet of Guiding Ships on Jingkai Island now.

Thinking of the Guiding Ships, Zhang was also in a daze—this initiative was Zheng’s idea, indeed Zheng’s first reform in the Jiushan Realm.

The effect was good at the time, providing some extra income to the market.

Later, as the Great Freedom Demon Sect emerged, the Jiushan Market was abandoned, and discontinued.

Now this Guiding Ship has reemerged—

Jiushan Realm is no longer fixed in one location, instead, it wanders within the vast territory of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, settling for about half a year wherever it goes.

This is also Zheng’s intention.
