The 'boy' and the two 'masters' disappeared mysteriously after they left and never appeared again...
Wang Bin was cheated!
After finally confirming various procedures with the real shop owner, Wang Bin reluctantly walked out of the restaurant. Standing on the street, thinking about the two hundred spiritual stones left in the jade belt space, Wang Bin shook his head gently:
"When I came here, I was given a hundred spirit stones by Duke Dong. After traveling for more than three years, I got more than a hundred more. Well, it's not bad! Hahaha! I can really see the 'prosperity' of Tiancheng."
But is Wang Bin someone willing to admit defeat?
Of course not!
Fortunately, I had done some manipulation on the spirit stone before. I took out a yellow paper talisman, pinched the sword with my hand and pointed lightly, and the yellow paper talisman stopped quietly in the air. Once the spirit stone is taken out of the storage space, the yellow paper talisman will sense the direction.
.
One person and one talisman were waiting quietly beside a busy street on the second floor of Tiancheng.
While waiting quietly, he organized his thoughts. Based on his more than three years of traveling in the Celestial City, Wang Bin finally clarified the basic situation of the Celestial Realm: There are five continents in the Celestial Realm, and countless creatures of all races live there. The human race has an absolute numerical advantage.
Dominate the heavens.
The heaven is prosperous, and the ones who really manage the heaven are the sects and forces, large and small.
The sect's power monopolizes various resources for spiritual practice: law, wealth, partners, and land.
Based on strength, sect levels can be divided into low-level, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, overlord, and super. The criteria for differentiation mainly depend on the number of ‘immortals’ within the sect and the influence of the sect.
Generally speaking, first-rate forces can already influence one party, overlords can dominate a region, and superpowers can cover a continent or even the entire heaven.
The most powerful organization in the heaven is Tianting, which manages the entire heaven with the jade talisman of the saint.
Each continent also has its own super power, for example, the Taiyi Sect and Baizooshan in Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Buddhist Sect in Xiniu Hezhou, the Changsheng Palace in Nanzhanbu Continent, the Tianyao Palace and Earth Demon Palace in Luzhou in the north, etc.
Zhonghuang Yuzhou is recognized as the most powerful monk continent in the heavens, and the human race occupies the absolute leading role.
As a place directly governed by Heaven, Zhonghuang Yuzhou is actually managed by the wife of God Haotian: Empress Houtu.
In addition to the super powerful force of Heavenly Court, Zhonghuang Yuzhou also has several overlord-level forces that dominate one side, such as: Tianbo Palace in the Northern Territory, Yaochi in the Western Territory, Divine Sword Sect in the Eastern Territory, Righteous Dao Alliance, and Heaven-defying Alliance in the Southern Territory, etc.
Wait. For first-class forces, there will be more.
The sect forces monopolize all cultivation resources.
If a monk wants to practice steadily, the best way is to join various sect forces.
"It seems that I have to find a sect, and the forces have joined..."
At this moment, the yellow paper talisman in front of him suddenly glowed with golden light, and then slowly flew away into the distance. Wang Bin was overjoyed:
"I didn't expect to use this spiritual stone so soon..."
Following the yellow paper talisman, he quickly walked through the bustling streets and soon came to a magnificent palace:
"City Lord's Mansion?"
While Wang Bin was wondering, a man in official uniform walked out of the door and saluted Wang Bin gently:
"Friend Taoist, you are polite. When you come to my city lord's mansion, do you want to rent a shop or a mansion?"
"Find someone!"
The man glanced at the yellow paper charm in front of Wang Bin:
"Oh, please do that!"
After saying that, he stopped talking to Wang Bin.
After passing through the two-story palace, I finally met the knowledgeable ‘guide’. He put away the yellow paper charm and shouted softly:
"Secretary?!"
The 'guide' who was talking to an old man from the government was suddenly startled when he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw Wang Bin at the door, and his eyes rolled back and forth:
"Senior, predecessor, senior, you came at the right time! Come quickly, come quickly, there is a restaurant that has just expired. I have successfully rented it for senior, and I am just waiting for senior to sign the contract and confirm it!"
The enthusiastic 'waiter' pulled Wang Bin towards a huge two-story urban sand table, pointed to a five-story building in the east and said:
"Senior, you see, this is this building, with five floors in total. The rent is 20,000 spirit stones, and the lease term is fifty years. Senior, you contributed 15,000, and the remaining 5,000 are paid from below. The spirit stones have been delivered, so
All that's left is to sign the contract. In order to express my admiration for my senior, this lease will be registered in your name, senior."
Looking at the 'enthusiastic' 'waiter' and then at the powerful escorts around him, Wang Bin smiled coldly.
In this way, Wang Bin owned the first restaurant in heaven.
In the east market on the second floor of Tiancheng, in a vacant five-story restaurant facing the street, seeing the Tiancheng staff leaving one after another, with a plop, the 'waiter' knelt down in front of Wang Bin:
"Senior, this junior deserves to die. He made the decision without authorization and rented a restaurant for senior. I hope senior will punish me."
Wang Bin sat on a chair, looking coldly at the 'Xiao Er' who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. He pointed forward with his left hand, and a golden light shrouded him:
"You are so brave, how dare you lie to me. If I don't kill the nameless ghost, what's your name?"
Realizing that he was being controlled, Xiao Tianze kept kowtowing:
"Senior, I realize my mistake! My name is Xiao Tianze! Senior, this is such a rare opportunity! If you miss this restaurant, you will never have another chance again..."
Listening to the man's constant begging for mercy, Wang Bin asked curiously:
"Are you familiar with this place?"
Upon hearing Wang Bin's question, the clever 'guide' knew that something was up, and kowtowed again and replied:
"Returning to the seniors, this junior was once the manager of this restaurant and has been working here for more than forty years.
Four years ago, the former shop owner Fatty Immortal lost his life in a gambling fight.
The junior has been paying attention to it, looking for an opportunity to buy this restaurant, but the junior has insufficient savings. God has mercy, and I have to meet the senior.
Senior, this restaurant will be yours from now on. If senior can forgive me for my previous disrespect, I, Xiao Tianze, am willing to follow senior forever, riding before and after..."
Although this person was somewhat cunning, Wang Bin knew that he was a 'talent'.
Wang Bin, who has experienced the world of mortals, knows one truth:
'The primitive accumulation of capital is always invisible.'
After pondering for a long time, Wang Bin said curiously:
"This building is so big, can you support it on your own?"
When Xiao Tianze heard this, he was very happy:
"Senior, you don't know something. This restaurant closed down as early as a year ago. All the chefs and staff inside were supported by the juniors in their own homes, just waiting for the restaurant to reopen.
The junior just lacks a little capital and has no choice, so he comes up with this strategy. But senior, don't worry, everything is ready-made. The junior will help the senior to take care of it. It will be possible to make back the investment in ten years. If it is managed properly, it may be possible to make the return in eight years.
This is it..."
Looking at the empty restaurant, Wang Bin pretended to ask casually:
"How many more spiritual stones are needed to reopen?"
"To return to my senior, I only need a turnover of 5,000 spirit stones."
Seeing that Wang Bin didn't speak, Xiao Tianze continued:
"Senior, don't worry, this junior has already prepared the money."
Knocking on the table lightly, Wang Bin's voice suddenly turned cold:
"In my life, I don't like people lying to me the most. I'm very angry."
Looking at Xiao Tianze who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, Wang Bin thought for a while and said:
"Lingshi has rented this restaurant, and you must not be able to pay it back. I originally wanted to crush you to ashes, but since you are considered a talent, I will give you another chance.
Let's open this restaurant according to your plan.
However, I want 80% of the shares, and the remaining 20% belongs to you. The lease term of the restaurant is fifty years, so I want thirty years. After thirty years, I will give you the lease, and the restaurant will be completely yours."
When Xiao Tianze heard this, he quickly kowtowed and thanked:
"Thank you, senior, for your forgiveness, thank you for your kindness, senior..."
"But the question now is, how can I trust you in these thirty years?"
Xiao Tianze pondered for a moment:
"Senior, this junior is willing to sign a 'loyalty contract' with you."
After saying that, he took out a piece of gold foil from his waist, used his finger as a pen, and carved an agreement on it, then left the mark of his soul and presented it to Wang Bin respectfully.
Soon after, a restaurant reopened in the East Market on the second floor of Tiancheng. Because it was located on the second floor of Tiancheng, the monks’ biggest wish here was to successfully condense the golden elixir, so Wang Bin named the restaurant ‘Jindanfu’.
The restaurant has five floors in total, the first and second floors are for dining, and the third and above floors are for accommodation.
According to the agreement, Xiao Tianze is responsible for all affairs in Jindan Mansion. Wang Bin meditates in a hotel on the fifth floor all day long, occasionally going down to show his face and take care of things.
[Author's digression]: Xiao Tianze is a talent and will play an important role later on.
