194: Tianji Pavilion earned 20 billion upon opening.
Jiang Yunfan returned to Cangqiong Ancient City. He used the shop he had previously bought to open the Tianji Pavilion.
Although he already had tens of billions in assets and wasn't short of Spirit Stones in the short term, who would ever complain about having too many Spirit Stones?
There were wealthy patrons everywhere in the Central Plains. Just a casual fleece would yield tens of millions or even one hundred million spirit stones. He didn't need to give anything in return, just move his lips, making it a no-cost business.
As soon as the Tianji Pavilion opened, many passersby came to watch.
"Tianji Pavilion? Could this be a shop opened by the Tianji Sect?"
"The Tianji Sect is extremely mysterious. How could they openly set up a shop outside? This must be someone using the Tianji Pavilion's name to swindle people."
"I don't think so. Since this person dares to open the Tianji Pavilion here, he must have some skill. Let's go in and take a look."
"Let's go together."
With someone taking the lead, others also followed into the Tianji Pavilion to join the fun.
Jiang Yunfan had transformed into the appearance of an old man, dressed in white, with an ethereal aura. Seeing so many people enter, Jiang Yunfan spoke: "I am the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, Heavenly Secret Master. I comprehend the Heavenly Dao and can know the past and future. Three divinations a day, each starting at ten million Spirit Stones. Those with fate may stay, those without, please leave."
"Heavenly Secret Master? He's the Sect Master of Tianji Sect, Heavenly Secret Master!"
"Ten million for one divination? Why doesn't he just rob people?"
"This is Senior Heavenly Secret Master. Let alone ten million, even one hundred million spirit stones wouldn't be enough to seek his divination."
"Didn't they say that to seek a divination from Heavenly Secret Master, one must first find a tianji token? The dignified Sect Master of Tianji Sect would never come to Cangqiong Ancient City to tell fortunes. He must be an impostor."
Damn, Tianji Sect, how could I forget about that?
Jiang Yunfan knew that the mysterious Tianji Sect was in the Central Plains, and their Sect Master was also called Heavenly Secret Master. Wouldn't that make him an impostor?
Will Heavenly Secret Master come looking for trouble with me?
No, that's not right.
I opened the Tianji Pavilion, and I didn't impersonate him. There are many people with the same name. Heavenly Secret Master is not an exclusive title for the Sect Master of Tianji Sect.
"I am not the Sect Master of Tianji Sect; it just happens that we share the same name. My attainments in divination are not inferior to Heavenly Secret Master, and perhaps even surpass him."
"Heavenly Secret Master comprehends the Heavenly Dao. How can you, a swindler, compare? Let's go."
Everyone left one after another.
The bustling Tianji Pavilion instantly became deserted, with hardly any visitors.
Jiang Yunfan remained unperturbed. These people were not his target audience.
He believed that the reputation of Tianji Pavilion would spread very soon, and he only needed to wait patiently.
[Today's Intelligence (red): Ji Yao is looking for the Host. She will arrive at Cangqiong Ancient City in three hours. Someone will follow her to find the Host.]
Yaoer is coming.
Jiang Yunfan guessed that because he killed Feng Yang, he must have been exposed.
The Phoenix clan tracking Ji Yao might be an Opportunity for him to completely get away.
[Today's Intelligence (red): In one hour, Su Han, the Saint of Creation Holy Land, will arrive at Cangqiong Ancient City. Hearing passersby mention Tianji Pavilion, he will enter out of curiosity.]
The Saint of Creation Holy Land, a big fat sheep, is coming.
An hour later.
Su Han, the Saint of Creation Holy Land, arrived at Cangqiong Ancient City.
"This Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion is really bold to use the name Heavenly Secret Master. Isn't he afraid that the Heavenly Secret Master of Tianji Sect will come looking for trouble?"
"This impostor is making exorbitant demands, saying one divination costs ten million Spirit Stones. Why doesn't he just rob people?"
"Let alone ten million Spirit Stones, no one would seek his divination even for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
Hearing the passersby, Su Han became interested in Tianji Pavilion.
Su Han found the Tianji Pavilion. He looked up at the sign of the Tianji Pavilion and thought, "I want to see how much ability this Heavenly Secret Master has to dare use this name."
He walked in and saw an old man. With one glance, he discerned the other party's Cultivation Level, merely a great expert in the Early Stage of Nirvana. Yet, he dared to presumptuously call himself Heavenly Secret Master.
"Are you Heavenly Secret Master?"
"I am."
"The name Heavenly Secret Master is not something just anyone can call. It involves great Karma."
"I dare to call myself Heavenly Secret Master, so naturally, I have the ability. May I ask what brings Saint Su to me?"
A flicker of surprise flashed in Su Han's eyes. He knew his name. It seemed he had some minor abilities. Let me test how capable you truly are.
"You dare to call yourself Heavenly Secret Master, so your attainments in divination must be extremely high. Divinate what Opportunity I will gain in the future. If you get it right, fine. If not, I will smash your sign, and your life will be in danger."
You little punk, you dare to threaten me? Watch me strip you bare.
Jiang Yunfan calmly said, "Although your Luck is good, your Opportunity is ordinary. How about I divine other Opportunities for you? For example, a Secret Realm, a Grotto-Heaven. You are the Saint of Creation Holy Land, so I presume Secret Realm Opportunities wouldn't catch your eye. Let's go with a Grotto-Heaven!"
"Grotto-Heaven? Are you joking? The Primordial Divine Mountain has thirty-six Grotto-Heavens, most of which have been destroyed. Very few remain, and the traces of each Grotto-Heaven are concealed by the Heavenly Dao. Let alone you, even Heavenly Secret Master, the Sect Master of Tianji Sect, cannot divine them."
Su Han's face showed a look of mockery. This impostor was truly whimsical. There was no need to waste time on him. He turned to leave.
"Heavenly Secret Master of Tianji Sect cannot divine it, but that doesn't mean I cannot. If I cannot divine the whereabouts of a Grotto-Heaven, then you can smash my sign."
Su Han suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Heavenly Secret Master, "Alright, I'd like to see if you can divine it."
Jiang Yunfan pretended to perform a divination.
"I've divined it."
"You really divined it?"
Su Han looked suspicious, not believing that this Heavenly Secret Master had divined a Grotto-Heaven.
Jiang Yunfan said, "If you want to know the whereabouts of the Grotto-Heaven, give me two hundred billion Spirit Stones."
"What! You want two hundred billion Spirit Stones?"
Su Han looked incredulous. Was this old fellow crazy for Spirit Stones? He demanded two hundred billion, treating him like a fool. His expression turned cold.
"Old man, do I look like an idiot?"
You may not be foolish, but you will still be deceived.
Jiang Yunfan's expression remained calm. "The Grotto-Heaven Opportunity was divined by me at the cost of one hundred years of Lifespan. Asking for two hundred billion Spirit Stones is not excessive. The Heaven And Earth Treasure contained within a Grotto-Heaven is worth far more than tens of billions."
"Since you know where the Grotto-Heaven is, why don't you claim this Opportunity for yourself instead of selling it to me?"
"My divination of the Grotto-Heaven has already revealed a Heavenly Secret. If I were to claim this Opportunity for myself, I would surely meet a bad end."
Su Han believed this. Karma was ethereal and elusive, yet no one dared to disregard its existence.
"I know you cannot produce two hundred billion Spirit Stones, and you are not qualified to claim this Opportunity alone. Go back and report to the Creation Holy Master. I believe the Creation Holy Master will agree to buy this Opportunity for two hundred billion Spirit Stones."
"If you are worried I am a swindler, there's no need. I wouldn't dare to swindle the Creation Holy Master, no matter who else I might deceive."
"Even if I gave you ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare to deceive the Holy Master. I will convey your words."
"I will only give you five days. After five days, I will sell this Opportunity to someone else."
Su Han left the Tianji Pavilion.
After exiting the Tianji Pavilion, he looked back. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he had to report this information to the Holy Master. If it was false, this Heavenly Secret Master would surely die.
"Idiot, obediently send me two hundred billion Spirit Stones!"
Jiang Yunfan smiled wickedly.
The Grotto-Heaven was real, but most of the Heaven And Earth Treasure within it had been plundered by him. What remained were just scraps, probably not even worth one hundred million spirit stones combined.
However, the Grotto-Heaven's Spiritual Qi was dense, and it contained many Spiritual Veins, so its overall value still exceeded two hundred billion Spirit Stones.
For the Creation Holy Land, the intrinsic value of the Grotto-Heaven far surpassed those Heaven And Earth Treasure. Even if the Creation Holy Land bought the Grotto-Heaven for two hundred billion Spirit Stones, it would not be a loss. The Creation Holy Master would also not lower his status to come looking for trouble with him, making it a win-win situation.
