Chapter 206 Elder Li Gains Fame and Wealth
For the first time in the history of Yuanjialing Market, people were bustling not for profit but to watch torture!
It seems that the project of torturing foreign prisoners of war is a project that the masses like to see!
Elder Li Huayuan happily reported the situation to the headmaster... The core point is: I brought traffic and income to the inn and teahouse in Fangshi, and they should share the money with me!
Or just charge admission. Some teahouses have already contacted him, asking if the show can be moved to a teahouse and require a fee for viewing.
"You can split the money. 10% of the new revenue of the inn and teahouse, Maple Forest Pavilion will provide the manpower, Master will provide the labor, and Maple Forest Pavilion and you will each share half."
"Just move it to teahouses and charge for it, and soon others will follow suit."
As a time traveler, Sun Zecheng, based on his experience before time travel, quickly followed the trend and imitated it. This kind of enthusiasm is only a rush when it is new, and it will return to calm after a while.
Therefore, we should quickly advertise Fenglin Pavilion while the traffic is still there.
"Also, Master, please take a break for a quarter of an hour every half an hour. I will arrange for the Fenglin Pavilion's manager to go on stage to do some advertising."
When he heard that there was a 5% share, Li Huayuan readily agreed and said goodbye happily.
……
The Huangfeng Valley publicly executed the Mulan prisoners of war in the market, which attracted a large number of monks to watch. The news that the Huangfeng Valley Yuanjialing market was booming quickly spread throughout the Ten Nations Alliance.
On this day, at the headquarters of the Ten-Nation Alliance, Madam Qi, one of the two Nascent Soul masters who were in charge of daily affairs, had just returned to the headquarters when she saw the Shadow Sect's Nascent Soul Elder Huan hurriedly leaving.
"What's the matter, Old Monster Huan?" asked Madam Qi.
The leader of Beiye Sect Wu smiled and said, "Nothing. I just heard that the Yellow Maple Valley was executing the Mulan prisoners of war. A large number of cultivators went to watch, which brought excitement to the market. So I came here to apply to capture a group of prisoners of war on the front line."
"Haha, good thing," Mrs. Qi was happy to see it happen.
My master said with emotion:
"Yes, we, the Nine Nations Alliance, fought with the Mulan Fashi for so many years, and it was always the Mulan people who attacked and came to rob resources."
"The Mulan side of the border is barren and has no resources for thousands of miles. We have gained nothing by attacking, so it has always been the Mulan people who attack and we defend."
“I didn’t expect that the Mulan people themselves have become a resource now!”
“Even Yuanying old monster has to go out in person to grab these resources.”
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Huang Fenggu."
Madam Qi also said with emotion: "For thousands of years, we have fought with the Mulan people for so long, and the captives were either killed or imprisoned in dungeons. We never thought that we could use them to earn spirit stones! This Huangfeng Valley really has a business mind!"
The leader of the Beiye Sect Wu laughed and said, "Just now, Old Monster Huan said that after he captured the prisoners, he also held execution performances in the Shadow Sect. Many sects also have similar plans. I heard that the price of prisoners has increased now!"
"Haha, good thing!"
"Haha, that's a good thing indeed!"
"I commend Huang Fenggu for what he saw!"
"We also need to inform the entire Ten-Nation Alliance!"
……
More than a month later,
Carrying the commendation order from the Ten-Nation Alliance, Elder Lei and Elder Xu escorted back a large number of new prisoners of war from Tiantian City, a total of fifty-one people.
Sun Zecheng went to the Yuanjialing branch of Fenglin Pavilion to meet Elder Lei, settle accounts, collect prisoners of war, and supply new goods.
By the way, I would like to inform the two branch masters:
"This Pavilion Master accidentally learned that the inner elixir of a seventh-level demon beast can actually help form a baby."
"In that case, the dividends for the two branch pavilion masters have been changed from one level six demon pill per year to one level seven demon pill every three years. And you can borrow it in advance."
"Do you have any comments?"
"No objection!" Elder Hongfu and Elder Lei responded in unison.
Elder Lei said excitedly:
"Thank you, Master Sun! Only Master Sun has the ability to find the seventh-level demon pill that is so rare even for Nascent Soul cultivators!"
"It is a great honor for Huangfeng Valley that Grand Elder Linghu appointed Sect Leader Sun to take over Huangfeng Valley!"
"You are welcome, Elder Lei! The two branch pavilion masters are the core pillars of our Maple Forest Pavilion and deserve to be rewarded."
"In addition, the Tiantian City branch is very busy. In ten years, we will assign an assistant to Elder Lei so that he can concentrate on his cultivation and achieve the fetus as soon as possible."
Lei Wanhe returned to the Tiantian City branch with great excitement that day, and was excited all the way:
Once upon a time, it was difficult to find a spiritual medicine that was more than 500 years old to refine a furnace of Zeng Yuan Dan.
Then the Yellow Maple Valley turned to the Northern Liang Kingdom, which was even more barren and desolate than the Yue Kingdom.
The sect was so poor that it couldn't even afford to pay the reduced salary by half.
Fortunately, Supreme Elder Linghu made the replacement in time!
Then Master Sun brought his apprentice Nie Ying to visit.
Lei Wanhe certainly expressed his full support. He had seen Sun Zecheng's abilities before, and it was even he, Lei Wanhe, who recommended him to Patriarch Linghu.
Besides, he is also the husband of his beloved disciple Nie Ying.
We should fully support it both for public and private reasons and for both emotional and logical reasons.
Then, Sect Leader Sun proposed to establish Maple Forest Pavilion, and let him, a dignified Jindan elder, take charge of the Maple Forest Pavilion's Tiantiancheng branch.
Compared with Huangfeng Valley's original Baibao Building, this branch sells Huangfeng Valley's self-produced magic tools, talismans, and elixirs. Occasionally, there will be a top-level magic tool, talisman, or something like that as the flagship product.
The branch manager, or branch master, is usually a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, in order to show his full support for Master Sun, Lei Wanhe agreed without hesitation.
Then, one shock followed another.
I don’t know where the scarce and best-selling products come from, and I never have to worry about selling them!
The rewards are also very generous. The offerings from the elders plus the dividends from the Maple Forest Pavilion are even more than those from the Nascent Soul elders of other sects in the Yue Kingdom!
Elder Lei is already very content!
But I didn’t expect that even bigger surprises were yet to come!
Work hard for another ten years, no, work hard for another twenty-one years! Then you will have seven seventh-level demon pills!
Seven level seven demon pills!
For the first time, Elder Lei was full of confidence and hope about forming a baby!
"Hehe" Elder Lei laughed out loud while flying.
"Why are you laughing, Elder Lei?" asked Elder Xu who was escorting him.
"Hehe, nothing." Elder Lei smiled.
……
The 51 newly received Mulan prisoners of war were all numbered.
Sun Zecheng asked Elder Huang to build a prisoner-of-war camp that could accommodate thousands of people next to the gate of the market town, and covered it with a formation to imprison the prisoners of war inside.
All prisoners of war were first given a lesson by Master Li Huayuan, and those who obeyed would enter the magic circle to control the soul and recognize the master. Only if it didn’t work would the leather bag be used.
After giving instructions, Sun Zecheng returned to the villa.
"Husband, we also want to go to the market to watch the excitement." Xuan'er said outside the formation.
"Okay, it's easy to go to the market, we can go there anytime." Sun Zecheng said nonchalantly.
"Then tomorrow, my husband will accompany us!" Xuan'er said.
"Okay!" Sun Zecheng agreed as he walked into the courtyard shrouded by the formation and immediately felt the presence of a person.
"Master!" Xiao Cui'er pretended to be timid but actually greeted Sun Zecheng very excitedly.
"Oh, Xiao Cui'er, why are you here? What's the matter?"
"Master, Cui'er has established her foundation!"
After building the foundation, Xiao Cui'er's body became more curvy and thinner. Xiao Cui'er became more confident in her body, and now she was smiling at Sun Zecheng with what she thought was the most beautiful side of her.
"Go back to the medicine garden. I'll call you if there's anything." Sun Zecheng didn't like this little fox and drove her away with just one sentence.
"Cui'er wants to stay and serve the master!" Xiao Cui'er said loudly, mustering up the courage.
Sun Zecheng waved his hand casually, and an irresistible magical force swept Xiao Cui'er out of the formation.
Xiao Cui'er walked away, looking back every few steps. She couldn't understand why Xin Ruyin, who looked so ordinary, was allowed to stay, while she, who was obviously much prettier than her, was kicked out.
"Why did she come here?" Sun Zecheng asked.
Xuan'er, Nie Ying and others explained.
It turned out that Xiao Cui'er had established her foundation. When Sun Zecheng went out just now, Xiao Cui'er came to him again. This time Chen Qiaoqian was not there, so Xiao Cui'er met Nie Ying smoothly.
To find a topic,
Xiao Cui'er told the story of the market town as if it were a funny thing.
It is said that the market town was packed with people, all watching Elder Li punishing Mulan Fashi.
After hearing this, Xuan'er also wanted to go and watch the fun.
"Okay, let's go and see it together tomorrow. Also, don't let Xiao Cui'er enter the villa anymore."
……
Li Huayuan had a high platform built on the execution pole.
When the new goods arrived, Li Huayuan deliberately asked them all to stand on the high platform, with dense crowds of new faces.
The news spread quickly, and more cultivators soon gathered in Yuanjialing Market in Huangfeng Valley.
Li Huayuan looked at the dense crowd of onlookers and thought about the dividends from the inn and teahouse, and became more and more excited.
When Sun Zecheng brought Nie Ying, Xuan'er and Xin Ruyin to the execution site beside the market gate,
A Mulan prisoner was beaten so hard that he screamed and begged for mercy, showing his submission.
Since he had surrendered, Elder Li released the prisoner and replaced him with another one to continue.
At this moment, a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd. The voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
"Boring! I won't beat you if you beg for mercy, right?"
The person who spoke was a tall man in a gray robe, and it was hard to tell what his cultivation level was.
"What does this fellow Taoist mean?" Li Huayuan asked.
"The Mulan people are the eternal enemies of our Ten-Nation Alliance. How can we surrender to the Mulan people and not fight them? So polite! How boring!"
As soon as the gray-robed man said this, many monks watching from the audience echoed him.
"Then what should we do to make it exciting?" Seeing so many audiences supporting him, Li Huayuan had to ask patiently.
"At least you have to dig out his nose, cut off his hands and feet, and dig out his eyes." The gray-robed man's cold voice sounded.
"That won't work. These prisoners of war were bought by my master to do the work." Li Huayuan shook his head.
"Haha, so he is a purchased prisoner!" the gray-robed man sneered.
“The best thing the Huangfeng Valley can do is to deal with a purchased prisoner, and they are not even willing to give him up! Haha.” The gray-robed man laughed arrogantly.
Some of the monks watching also joined in the commotion.
Sun Zecheng didn't expect that when he brought Xuan'er out to watch the fun, he would happen to run into someone who was looking for trouble. Fortunately, he got out.
"Who are you? Are you here to cause trouble?" Li Huayuan shouted sternly.
"You are from the Shadow Sect of the Ten-Nation Alliance. Why didn't you tell anyone that Huangfeng Valley was buying prisoners?" the gray-robed man said proudly.
Many monks below followed suit.
Li Huayuan was speechless for a moment. In public, the other party reported the Ten-Nation Alliance and couldn't do anything to him.
"Humph!" Li Huayuan was about to use the pressure of the golden elixir to teach the other party a lesson.
Sun Zecheng saw that things were not going well and quickly shouted, "Slow down!"
Then he teleported in front of Li Huayuan.
"Hmph!" The tall man in gray robe snorted coldly, and a pressure from the late Jindan stage rushed straight towards Li Huayuan.
But suddenly a young man appeared by teleportation and stood in front of Li Huayuan. The young man was wearing a white robe with cloud patterns mixed with gold and silver threads, which looked very high-end. There was also a bright red maple leaf patterned on the clothes.
When the tall man in gray robe brought this power to the young man, he acted as if nothing had happened but his clothes seemed to flutter a little in the wind.
This young man is only at the foundation-building stage!
The tall man in gray robe couldn't help but be shocked!
Sun Zecheng couldn’t tell the gray-robed man’s cultivation level, and estimated that the other party also had some means of hiding. However, based on the test just now, he was definitely at the late Jindan stage, and might even be a Yuanying monster!
However, in such public occasions,
Since the other party has revealed the identity of the Shadow Sect of the Ten Nations Alliance, whether it is true or not, it means that everyone is an ally in name only.
Master Li Huayuan wanted to teach him a lesson.
He didn't intend to kill anyone, he just wanted to make Li Huayuan look bad.
That's all.
Sun Zecheng couldn't care less and just pretended that nothing had happened.
Sun Zecheng's nonchalant reaction also gave the tall gray-robed man from the Shadow Sect a feeling that he couldn't tell the truth from the false, and he didn't dare to act rashly any further.
"I am the head of Huangfeng Valley." Sun Zecheng said with a bow. Many people below had never seen the head of Huangfeng Valley. When they saw him for the first time, they let out a noisy sigh.
"What's wrong with buying prisoners? The Ten Nations Alliance just announced a reward for our Yellow Maple Valley, encouraging us to continue!"
Sun Zecheng said this as he showed the commendation order from the Ten-Nation Alliance.
"No matter how much you brag, it's not a real skill if you didn't capture them yourself! We Shadow Sect captured all the prisoners of war ourselves! All the monks who are interested are welcome to come to Tiantian City to watch. We will not show mercy!" The tall man in gray robe revealed his purpose without any concealment.
It turns out they are here to steal business!
This is bound to happen sooner or later, and Sun Zecheng doesn't really care about this little bit of profit, but some stigma still needs to be cleared!
"Just now, a fellow Taoist from the Shadow Sect said that the Yellow Maple Valley could only deal with the captives they bought. I would like to invite everyone to see a few things."
Sun Zecheng took out the jade slip that recorded the image, and a magic projection appeared in the air.
There were only five bodies dressed in Mulan Fashi costumes. The head panels were especially clear, and the difference between the Mulan people and the Tiannan Yan people was obvious.
"Fellow Taoists from the Ten Nations Alliance, please look, these five Mulan Jindan-level mages ambushed Elder Li from our Yellow Maple Valley, and were injured by Elder Li's Silver-Armored Horned Python's self-explosion. Then, they were all killed on the battlefield by the support of our Yellow Maple Valley."
"Kill five Jindan! Huang Fenggu is so boastful! In my opinion, they are probably five Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining level mages pretending to be them." The tall gray-robed man from Shadow Sect mocked.
Sun Zecheng raised his hand and four magic weapons flew out.
Two finished products, a yellow brick and a fiery red flying fork.
Two semi-finished products, both are banners,
"Everyone, please look, these four magic weapons belong to the Mulan people!"
Sun Zecheng controlled the contents of the jade slip and turned to the back, where there were traces of a magic weapon and a photo of five people, and projected them into the air.
"Also," Sun Zecheng raised his voice so that it could be heard by the entire Yuanjialing market, "Elder Li cut off the ears of these five Mulan Jindan practitioners and handed them over to the Ten-Nation Alliance's frontline headquarters. The record of Huangfeng Valley killing five Mulan Jindan has been confirmed by the Ten-Nation Alliance and is absolutely true! Anyone can check it out!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a cheer from the audience.
“Yellow Maple Valley is mighty!”
"Elder Li is mighty!"
"Kill the Mulan dog!"
"Elder Li, you're a hero!"
……
Listening to the cheers from the audience, Li Huayuan felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, he knew exactly what had happened, and on the other hand, he also enjoyed the cheers from the crowd.
At first, I was a little reserved, but gradually I convinced myself: My silver-armored horned python exploded, this is true! Huang Fenggu killed five Mulan Jindan-level mages, this is true.
Elder Li slowly relaxed and enjoyed the admiration of everyone.
The tall man in gray robe from the Shadow Sect had quietly left the stage at some point without anyone noticing.
"Fellow Daoists of the Ten Nations Alliance, Elder Li's silver-armored horned python exploded in order to fight the Mulan people! Can we all pool our money together to buy Elder Li a new one?" Such an opportunity was perfect for asking for a reward, and Sun Zecheng would naturally not miss it. Besides, imitations like the Shadow Sect were about to divert a large number of people, so it seemed like asking for a little was better!
"Good!" the audience shouted randomly.
"Well, I'll take the lead and give three hundred pieces! Everyone can give according to their ability. One piece is a token of appreciation." Sun Zecheng took out three hundred spirit stones and placed them on a table on the high platform. He looked at his woman and blinked twice.
Nie Ying quickly understood what her husband meant, and was the second one to go on stage. She took out a hundred yuan and put it on the table.
Xuan Er quickly followed and took out a hundred yuan and put it on the table.
Xin Ruyin followed closely and took out a hundred yuan and put it on the table.
The Fenglin Pavilion Yuanjialing Branch is located in the market. After hearing Sun Zecheng's words, Liu Jing took the lead, and several managers of the Yuanjialing Branch also came out to take out the spirit stones one by one.
The power of role models is infinite.
Finally, the crowd began to flock to the front desk to donate spirit stones.
……
On this day, Master Li Huayuan gained both fame and fortune!
