Chapter 744: Business Pavilion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Xing Xi arrived at the Land of Sanguinity, she was immediately shocked after touring around and understanding the ins and outs of the place.

She naturally knew that uncivilized territory held the most opportunities and the greatest risks.

Earth was an uncivilized territory in the cultivation world. Everything started from scratch.

That year, she did not take part in the palace-organized pioneering for obtaining cultivation resources. There were numerous casualties, but of course, the gains were also massive.

However, no matter the gains, it was nowhere near as large as the grotto-heaven before her eyes.

After seeing this grotto-heaven, she deeply understood its value and potential. If she were the first palace mistress of Liu Yun Palace, she would be willing to exchange all of Liu Yun Palace’s property, including artifacts, territory, and even all the disciples. She would even be willing to pay with her self.

However, she felt that in Vigilante A’s eyes, he did not care about such a valuable place.

If he really cared about this, he would have used a person he was confident in to manage it, like Butler Zheng, rather than randomly telling her to manage it.

In the Upper Realm, a grotto-heaven of this level would not be managed by any confidants at all. It would only be left to a sapient tool, a person’s own Dharmakaya, or a mighty being himself to manage.

In short, it would never be handed over to a subordinate that had taken refuge for only a few months. Moreover, this subordinate was still suspicious of having unknown origins, and had a conflict in standpoints in the past...

‘Is this the True Dragon’s vision and caliber?’

Such a huge land that was full of potential could become one of the world’s core hubs in the future, but it did not register in his eyes.

She naturally did not know that Vigilante A still had other places like this...

Was this the prestige of a mighty person?

She also knew about the strange and fateful encounters of the Upper Ream’s Heavenly Treasured. With just a trip and a scrape, they would pick up a treasure that acknowledged them as their owners by their blood.

However, those were only hearsay, while this was something that she personally saw.

Just like the ordinary people of this world, people always heard of someone else winning the grand prize, but they would not feel anything particular. However, when that someone was a friend, colleague, or even family, the feeling was completely different...

“After looking around, you should have some understanding of this place. In your opinion, how should this place be developed in the future?” Vigilante A seemed to be testing her.

Xing Xi did not answer immediately although she had long had an answer. Instead, she made a thoughtful expression.

This was something that the first palace mistress taught her. When a superior asked her a question, she must not answer immediately even if she knew the answer.

If she answered too quickly, it would imply that the question was too easy, and the person who asked the question would be embarrassed.

If the answer was wrong because it was too fast, that was even more taboo.

However, she could not be too slow either, otherwise the superior might lose patience.

In other words, it was necessary to strike a proper balance. This was where skill came in.

She naturally did not know that in Vigilante A’s case, she did not have to pay attention to such details and thoughts. Everyone could be straightforward and direct as long as he maintained his respect and loyalty to the Dragon God.

Xing Xi thought for half a minute before answering. This period was not too quick or too slow. She had tested it out long ago that it was in line with the preferences of most mighty beings.

As for superiors among mortals, she naturally did not bother to figure out.

“Replying to the Venerable One, this land can connect to thousands of worlds. It’s amazing and has a unique innate ability to absorb the souls of the dead. Before, you made an alliance with three mighty beings, each with your own responsibilities. I’m not talented, so I can urge everyone to do their best and abide by the alliance.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Say something else.” Vigilante A said.

“Uh...” Xing Xi was shocked. It seemed that modest words did not please this mighty being. In that case, it would be enterprising and showing initiative.

She then said, “This land can connect thousands of worlds, so it’s a great place to build a business pavilion. The Venerable One is also the lord of this realm and can control all the rules here, so it’s very convenient. Setting up a business pavilion for the trading of various artifacts and materials will definitely let it surpass even those large commercial factions in the Upper Realm. The profits will be so high that it’s hard to imagine...The productions of the business pavilion would also be greatly beneficial to the mighty being’s cultivation progress.”

“Hm, not bad. You said what was in my heart. Since there are also commercial factions in the Upper Realm, I believe you’re not unfamiliar with the trade of various cultivation materials. I found the right person.” Vigilante A nodded.

“Thank you for the compliment, Venerable One. When I was in the Upper Realm, I was the second palace mistress of Liu Yun Palace. Chores such as the Palace’s productions as well as communication and trading with outside parties were all undertaken by me.” Xing Xi timely mentioned her background.

“Looks like I’ll be able to employ your talent to the fullest. That’s good. You’ll manage this place according to this goal. I’ll appoint you as the manager of this place and hand it over to you.” Vigilante A nodded after he finished speaking and left.

He did not mention anything about a start-up capital or anything relating to personnel. It was equivalent to giving her an empty title.

However, to this beautiful Liu Yun Palace’s second palace mistress, it was already enough...

Vigilante A’s title, as well as this place, was enough for her to fully put everything to use.

...

In the System Space.

After shrugging off the Land of Sanguinity, Fang Ning finally felt at ease again. Before, he had been very worried that Sir System would station him here... After all, he had already converged paths with this Heavenly Axiom.

However, there would not be any Internet connection here for a while.

“It was agreed that as a reward for obtaining this arcane realm, I would have a 30-day vacation. I’m going to play for 10 days now. Don’t bother me.” Fang Ning said righteously.

“Who would care about you? Anyway, the reward has been given to you, so how you use it is your business.” Sir System prattled.

“Well, that’s good. In that case, I’m going to farm some games.” Fang Ning said excitedly.

“I really don’t get you. What’s so fun about playing games? Those are all virtual things. If you’re more diligent in your cultivation, the spells and abilities in those games could easily become reality. Wouldn’t that be more interesting?” The System did not understand.

“That’s too tiring. For games, I just have to click on the mouse and think with my brain.” Fang Ning opened a stand-alone masterpiece and said plausibly.

“You’re really too lazy. With your current body, you won’t feel tired from doing anything, even if that means staying up for ten days and nights.” The System grouched.

“Thanks for the compliment. Right, I’m reminding you now to supplement evil spirit types. You completely consumed all the top-grade evil spirits at the River of Blood. I finally understood that a large reason why you could farm up to 100 billion experience points is that those evil spirits absorbed the strength of this world.” Fang Ning said without raising his head and casually brought something up to send the System away.

Sure enough, the System did not say anything for a long time, and Fang Ning’s goal was met. He now had peace and could play as much as he wanted for the next few days.

Fang Ning played his game, immersed in the game world.

‘What’s the point of cultivating hard? Isn’t it better to play? If I make cultivation my everything, then what’s the difference between that and a stone?’
