204: Plan! (Necessary transition)

Leisurely days passed even faster.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Li sat in the main seat, not thinking about cultivating first, but rather about the future development of Black Ridge City.

The cultivation of the Dao Foundation Realm lies in evolving Divine Abilities. Only after the first Divine Ability is completely perfected can one seek the second and third Divine Abilities. This is a very long period of cultivation.

It could be as short as a hundred years, or as long as several hundred years. There is plenty of time.

He also had plenty of patience.

However, the resources consumed were not human. There wasn't that much patience to slowly consume them, and it was also incomparable to the Qi Refining Realm.

Without a stable and positive force to support the massive cultivation resources of a Foundation Establishment True Person, how long would it take for the Immortal Master himself to gather them?

Backed by the Shen Family, most of the Shen Family's foundation was used by the Great Ancestor to purchase some Opportunities to assist in breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

A small portion was given to Shen Li.

If he were to go and take another bite now, wouldn't he be a vampire among vampires?

The current Shen Family was probably dried up and hollowed out!

If he were still in the Qi Refining Realm, the Shen Family could still grit their teeth.

But now that he was in the Dao Foundation Realm, the heaven and earth treasures he needed would undoubtedly be very rare and even more expensive.

They couldn't even get them out if they broke their teeth.

As for Qingchi Mountain, to be honest, Shen Li felt a sense of estrangement from this sect, which was nominally an Immortal Sect but was actually a bandit's den.

Even during his Qi Refining Realm, the actions of several Immortal Masters and big shots from Qingchi Mountain made it difficult for him to trust them.

It was just that Qingchi Mountain was too big of a mountain. The Shen Family was within it, and he was also within it.

He couldn't avoid it, he could only face it.

He would borrow its power if he could, and borrow its people if he could.

Qingchi Mountain naturally had countless treasures, but these countless treasures were not just for him alone.

Without enough merit and without enough contributions, it was impossible for the mountain to just give you freebies, right?

Therefore, no matter what, everything still depended on himself.

Of course, compared to other Immortal Masters, Shen Li had a higher starting point, and greater opportunities, and more Opportunities.

All these variables naturally stemmed from the Immortal Fate intelligence.

Perhaps some people would ask why, with such a heaven and earth treasure, he didn't think about his own freedom but instead devoted himself to these chaotic trivial matters. The reason was simple.

A good tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves.

Furthermore, heaven and earth treasure, do you really think that once you get it, it's yours?

The principle that an innocent man is guilty because of his treasure should be kept in mind.

So Shen Li needed to use the surrounding Opportunities to develop Black Ridge City.

Whether it was connections, heaven and earth treasures, Spiritual Veins, Spirit Stones, or any other aspect.

Coming back to his senses, Shen Li was thinking about the various shops.

Previously, in the Qi Refining Realm, Shen Li was small and insignificant. In order to keep these crucial shops, he allowed them three years of rent-free operation. Don't underestimate three years of rent. They saved tens of thousands of Spirit Stones each year.

And now, the three-year agreement was up, and Shen Li had already reached Foundation Establishment. The situation was indeed about to reverse.

Having an Immortal Master in charge and not having an Immortal Master in charge was like heaven and earth, a complete reversal of fortunes.

One could see this clearly from the Wang Family Market.

So, the various profit shares should be discussed in detail.

As he was thinking this, he saw Inviting Moon's graceful figure approaching.

“Young Master, everyone has arrived.”

Inside the study hall, everything was completely new.

Within the screen of theBlue sea rising (Blue Sea Tide Birth), the scent of wind and waves vaguely roared.

The reefs, battered by the wind and waves, remained unmoving.

Everyone within it seemed to transform into reefs, unmoving.

After a long time, Ou Yening finally exclaimed.

“This Magical Artifact can temper the Divine Soul. It is truly extraordinary.”

Seeing someone start the conversation, the Alchemist from the Dan Hall also frowned and said.

“Everyone is busy with their affairs, why are you all gathered here today? Didn't the City Lord say he would meet us? Where is the City Lord?”

“I'm so busy today, yet I have to be summoned here…”

There was some impatience in his tone. However, on his left chest was a Dan Hall badge, and on his right was a fiery tree.

Apparently, he was from a small group within the Dan Hall?

The others who heard this looked at each other, then looked at him with an incredulous gaze.

They dared not say another word of nonsense.

As if looking at a corpse.

Was this fool crazy? Did he not want to live? To speak so presumptuously under the Immortal Master's nose?

This Alchemist had just arrived. It was said that he was a core member of the Dan Hall, a true disciple, who had committed a crime, using people as test subjects for elixirs, and was exiled here.

His Alchemy skills were indeed good, but his actions were extreme, and his personality was not likable.

He was usually reclusive and had few friends.

But they didn't expect him to be so deranged!

Had he gone mad from taking too many pills?

No, I need to stay far away!!!!

Everyone in the hall quickly moved far away.

It wasn't long before.

A flamboyant figure walked into the hall and greeted everyone present.

“Oh, everyone's here, are you all here?”

Everyone stood up, but only that Alchemist Cultivator, seeing that the newcomer's Realm was not high, felt some impatience and did not give him a good look, remaining seated.

Wang Teng smiled and greeted each person one by one, then looked at the Alchemist Cultivator.

He walked up to him and looked down from above.

“Who the hell are you?”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Everyone else knows to get up and salute me, don't you?”

“Do you have any manners?”

The Alchemist was stunned for a moment, then pointed at his own nose in disbelief.

“…Are you talking to me?”

“Old dog, how does the Dan Hall operate, letting a rule-breaking scoundrel like you come to my Black Ridge City!”

“Junior! Don't be too presumptuous. You are merely a Qi Refining Middle Stage, and I am at Qi Refining Eighth Layer. How dare you insult me!”

The next second, the red-faced Alchemist Cultivator knelt on the ground, his face pale, kowtowing towards the main seat.

“?????” Wang Teng looked confused.

He knelt down just like that? He started kowtowing just like that?

“Thank you, Immortal Master, for sparing my life.”

At the same time.

The shopkeepers of Fulu Hall, Fengshui Kanyu, Four Seas Merchant Guild, Array Hall, Food as Heaven, Red Sleeve Brothel, Miaoyin Brothel, and Shang Gong Hall all stood up and bowed!

A figure appeared silently in the main seat.

“Greetings, Immortal Master.”

Everyone looked at the pale-faced Alchemist Cultivator, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on their backs.

He didn't die? What a tough life!

Shen Li waved his hand, ignoring the kneeling Alchemist Cultivator.

This person spoke without restraint, and a Heart Demon had arisen in him, no wonder he spoke so wildly.

He had casually suppressed his Heart Demon earlier, which was why he had sobered up.

He knew he had made a huge mistake.

But Shen Li did not crush this person.

The reason was simple.

That faint bloody smell on this person, Shen Li was too familiar with it.

Yin Nether Sect, of course.

An old acquaintance.

He would keep him and see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.

He would just treat it as watching a play.

Shen Li shook his head and ignored him.

“Everyone, it’s been a long time…”

Everyone slowly stood up, but only dared to sit on half their buttocks.

Ou Yening looked up, a smile on her face, and said.

“Qi Sect would like to congratulate Immortal Master first!”

The others, seeing this, couldn't help but stand up again and flatter him.

“Immortal Master is truly exceptionally talented and remarkably heroic.”

“A few nights ago, I observed the celestial phenomena and vaguely discovered the movement of the Ziwei star, knowing that Black Ridge City would be the center, and good things were approaching. I didn't expect it to be such a great thing!”

“Immortal Master's achievements are unparalleled. We can hardly hope to catch up in this lifetime.”

Shen Li chuckled at this, shaking his head and saying.

“Everyone, you are too polite.”

He smiled slightly and said in a tone that was close to an instruction.

“I came here this time to discuss future development, concerning Black Ridge City and everyone's future.”

Everyone spoke in unison.

“We will respectfully obey whatever Immortal Master says!”

Shen Li suddenly froze.

What is Dao Foundation?

This is Dao Foundation.

What is an Immortal Master?

This is an Immortal Master!

After a long time, he slowly uttered a single word.

“Good.”
