Chen Guodong was momentarily dazed. Before he could even properly sense what was happening, his vision blurred, and his feet were already firmly planted on solid ground.
This feeling was truly hard to describe, very obscure. In an instant. A quick glance around confirmed it was another teleportation array he had set up in his second-floor bedroom at Peach Blossom Abode. After the teleportation, the array flashed slightly a few times before disappearing.
It's back!
From now on, the journey between Taoyuan Xiaozhu and Southwest Fangshi will no longer take several days; it will be instantaneous.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Zhang Guodong seemed to be stomping his feet a few times, as if it were unreal.
"Thief!" came several shouts from below. Immediately, people came running up to the second floor.
Zhang Guodong broke out in a cold sweat and quickly left the bedroom. Although this teleportation array had a special illusion array called "Thousand Truths" for protection, and ordinary people would be trapped if they approached, it was best not to let anyone know about it until the "Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs Array" was perfected.
This teleportation array is far too sensitive!
So far, no teleportation arrays have been seen built in the city. Space Jade is an extremely rare material for constructing teleportation arrays.
"Who's there? Get out here!" All that could be heard was Li Yun's sharp rebuke from outside.
Zhang Guodong smiled helplessly. He opened the door and said, "It's me!"
Li Yun, Qingzhu, and Qin Lina, holding their magical artifacts, set up a battle formation.
"Qingzhu is back too?"
Green bamboo is here. Perhaps the Dark Blue Spot has returned here.
Li Yun and Qin Lina were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed – Zhang Guodong was back!
Only Qingzhu frowned, scrutinizing Zhang Guodong from head to toe. She sensed that Zhang Guodong was somewhat different. However, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.
"When did you get back? How come we didn't know?" Qingzhu pressed Zhang Guodong relentlessly.
"I got back last night. I didn't disturb you!" Zhang Guodong said. "Where's Senior Sister?"
"Senior Sister is cultivating, hmph. You didn't come to the 'opening' of the Northwest Imitation Market, making us wait for a long time. Senior Sister is very angry with you!" Qingzhu said.
Indeed, the Northwest Imitation Market opened quietly. Many cultivators had been invited, the most important of whom was probably Zhang Guodong. But the result was that Zhang Guodong missed two appointments. The Northwest Imitation Market had been open for two months, and the most popular restaurant still hadn't been built.
This angered many people, and Xuan Qingbai's expression also turned sour.
Later, Zhang Guodong miraculously survived and left the "Five Willows Palace." He then expressed his concern to everyone and apologized to Xuan Qingban. Zhang Guodong was indeed in the wrong in this matter, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he had been in a coma for three months.
Perhaps this news will soon reach Xuan Qingxuan's ears in the Northwest City.
“Guodong was probably delayed by something, Senior Sister won’t blame him!” Li Yun said, defending Zhang Guodong.
Qin Lina nodded as well.
“Let’s go downstairs. There are indeed special circumstances here. I’m sure Senior Sister will understand!” Zhang Guodong said.
The four went downstairs. Li Yun and Qin Lina went to the kitchen on the first floor to get something to eat, worried that Zhang Guodong might go hungry. Zhang Guodong, on the other hand, lay on a recliner like a lord, thoroughly enjoying being served by his women.
Qingzhu, however, was unwilling to chat with Zhang Guodong and instead went into her room.
This girl is obviously going to report to Xuan Qingban? Going to tattle?
Having not seen the Azure Mark for several months, Zhang Guodong felt a pang of longing for the woman's goddess-like nobility. Zhang Guodong's mindset was no longer that of the lowly cultivator he once was. Naturally, he was no longer afraid of the Azure Mark.
A level 38 cultivator, and one who purely cultivates magical power. Perhaps only a very few people know about the latter. But this level... it will probably spread very quickly.
This level is significantly higher than Xuan Qingban's. The statement by Emperor Mu and the others, "Able to surpass level forty-five or below," is indeed very true. It highlights the power of magic cultivators.
But things are constantly changing.
Zhang Guodong never expected that he could actually steal a high-level material defense magic artifact from Lei Hui while he was in trouble. With this artifact, Zhang Guodong would be invincible against those who were close to being great masters.
Sure enough, Zhang Guodong was resting with his eyes closed in the courtyard. Occasionally, while sipping hot tea, Qingzhu was furtively whispering to Xuan Qiwei about something...
"Senior sister, Zhang Guodong is back!" Qingzhu said. "That kid slipped out from the second floor without a sound!"
Xuan Qingxuan's face remained unchanged—calm, aloof, and incomparably noble—as she sat cross-legged on a clump of grass. She had been cultivating just moments before.
However, even with the combined effects of the two small spirit-gathering arrays, Xuan Qingwei's level did not change and had not yet reached the level required for a breakthrough.
Xuan Qingji's expression remained calm, but her heart was far from at peace. She had naturally overheard the conversation outside and was surprised that Zhang Guodong had returned without her noticing!
Before her, let alone a level 19 cultivator, even a level 40 cultivator might not be able to evade her senses and get close. This is because her demonic vine, the "Celestial Vine," excels at soul attacks. Her spiritual sense is far stronger and more sensitive than that of cultivators of the same level.
But no one expected that Zhang Guodong didn't enter through the gate, but was teleported back instantly, arriving in a flash thanks to a "bewitching array." Thousands of true protection made it difficult for his aura to leak out, so Xuan Qinghui naturally couldn't sense it.
Although Xuan Qinghui was somewhat angry at Zhang Guodong for breaking his promise, the Northwest Imitation Market, which had been open for two months, had not made much profit, barely breaking even, let alone generating substantial profits.
Restaurants are a must-have!
She pondered the prosperity of the Southwest Imitation Market, which seemed to be closely related to the Wanxian Restaurant. Thus, the Wanxian Restaurant profited immensely, while the Imitation Market gained popularity and established a "market."
If there were a restaurant in the Northwest Imitation Market, it would at least bring in a lot of customers and business wouldn't be too bad.
"Yes, let's go out and talk to him about the restaurant." Xuan Qingwei slowly stood up, her posture still so elegant, her figure still so charming.
"Senior Sister, you don't blame him anymore?" Qingzhu asked.
"Huh?" Xuan Qingban stepped out of the room and saw Zhang Guodong lounging comfortably on a recliner. But at a glance, he couldn't discern Zhang Guodong's level!
She has had a profound experience in the past few months, and her cultivation level has increased from the early stage of level 33 to the late stage of level 33. She is just waiting for an opportunity or a breakthrough after accumulating some experience.
This is already considered extremely fast by outsiders.
But when Zhang Guodong returned this time, she felt that the man in front of her had changed a lot.
His cultivation level seemed to be much higher than hers. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to see through Zhang Guodong's cultivation level.
Of course, there's another possibility. Zhang Guodong might possess some special magical artifact that can conceal his level of power.
"Is it Senior Sister? Please sit down!" Zhang Guodong already knew that Xuan Qingwei had come out, but when she arrived, he pretended to be surprised and quickly stood up to invite her to sit down.
This mindset can change very quickly.
However, seeing Xuan Qingban up close again still left Zhang Guodong somewhat stunned. This woman always had a noble and aloof demeanor, but she was truly beautiful.
Xuan Qinghui frowned slightly, but nodded.
“Junior Brother Zhang, I would like to discuss with you the matter of opening a restaurant in the Northwest City,” Xuan Qingban said softly.
"Ha, Senior Sister. This is easy to talk about! I originally planned to go and congratulate the opening of the Northwest Imitation Market, but something came up and I was delayed. To be honest, Senior Sister, I almost lost my life this time!" Zhang Guodong said.
Xuanqing was puzzled.
"Senior Sister will find out about this soon. But overall, I've turned misfortune into blessing this time. My cultivation has improved a little! By the way, Senior Sister, what about that subspace thing you mentioned before? What exactly is that?"
Upon mentioning the subspace, Xuan Qingwei said, "This matter should have spread throughout the southwestern city of Fang. A subspace 'Demon-Fighting Battlefield' has been discovered outside, containing countless precious medicinal herbs and magical treasures. I wanted to share it with Junior Brother Zhang and join forces to try our luck! However, this Demon-Fighting Battlefield is controlled by various major forces, and all one hundred spots have fallen into their hands!"
"Oh? The Demon-Fighting Battlefield? I've heard something like that. It's been all the rage in the Southwest City lately!" Zhang Guodong was certain; it was indeed true.
He already has one of those spots, so there's no rush.
“One spot costs 150,000 crystals, three cost 300,000, but there are eight spots for 500,000!” Xuan Qinghui said, frowning. “Although the disciples of the Elder Hall have prepared some crystals, this number is simply too large! The Northwest Imitation Market has no choice but to give up on purchasing!”
Zhang Guodong sneered. The Northwest Market? Relying on those arrogant elders and disciples? In the outside world, the forces sent by the Qingxuan Sect in Fengdu City are the weakest.
Those vying for a spot are all above level 45; even Xuan Qingban might not be a match for them. Let alone the others? Going there would only be suicide!
“Well, it might be a bit difficult for Senior Sister to compete for a spot! It’s said that the allocation of spots has already been completed, and the remaining spots are in the hands of various major forces. To obtain one, one must accept their conditions, otherwise they will be excluded!” Zhang Guodong said.
"Oh? What are the conditions?"
“To be a competitor, besides strength being paramount, one must also join the other's faction. Senior Sister is a disciple of the Grand Elder of the Qingxuan Sect, so this requirement is not met!” Zhang Guodong said.
Xuan Qingxuan immediately calmed down.
She naturally understood the principle that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But asking him to abandon the Qingxuan Sect and join another sect was absolutely out of the question.
But there aren't enough crystals? What to do?
"Guodong, you must have a way, right?" At this moment, Qingzhu's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Guodong's relaxed expression.
Xuanqingban also raised his head, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes.
As the eldest disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, she was respected by all the elders and disciples, and thus faced immense pressure.
"There is indeed a way," Zhang Guodong said with a smile, "but it depends on whether Senior Sister agrees or not." A hint of greed flashed across his face as he looked at Xuan Qingban, but he quickly concealed it.
Every time Zhang Guodong faced this woman, who was as beautiful as a fairy, he would be momentarily lost in thought. Of course, as his cultivation level improved, this momentary lapse in attention became much shorter.
However, at such close range, Zhang Guodong could almost breathe in the fragrant scent exhaled by the orchid.
Xuan Qingban frowned, his impression of Zhang Guodong plummeting. This Zhang Guodong actually dared to face him. So brazen! Zhang Guodong already had many women, becoming a prime example of a philanderer.
How could he show such a lecherous face to himself!
Just as he was about to get angry, Zhang Guodong quickly said, "Senior Sister, there's another way: kill someone and steal the 'Golden Body Talisman'!"
"Murder?" Qingzhu exclaimed in a low voice.
"This girl has never killed anyone?" Zhang Guodong glanced at her in surprise, finding it somewhat amusing.
He looked at Xuan Qingban.
This suggestion cannot be made based solely on strength to obtain the "golden talisman." And who among them is weak when it comes to this sole mark of status?
Xuan Qinghui is only at the late stage of level 33. Against a master in the forties, his chances of winning are slim.
Zhang Guodong did ponder the name on the "Golden Body Talisman" for a moment, but there was nothing special about it; it could be modified. However, the only problem was that no matter how you modified it, you still had to join some faction before you could enter.
Of course, those cultivators who obtain the Golden Body Talisman are all implicitly considered future subordinates of the corresponding forces. Even if they manage to steal it, they still bear the risk of retaliation from those forces.
“That’s right, the Golden Body Talisman is the only mark of entry. If we buy these crystals from various forces, there will be even more of them. In terms of competition, Senior Sister is probably at a disadvantage. The only way out will be to ambush and kill her!” Zhang Guodong said.
"I'll think about it!" Xuan Qingban nodded and walked towards the room.
Zhang Guodong smiled; he could tell that Xuan Qinghui seemed somewhat interested. This woman was no ordinary person.
While Xuanqing was considering her options, Zhang Guodong had a hearty meal with the three women, except for Xuanqing, who refused to eat or drink.
Seeing the lustful look in Li Yun's eyes, Zhang Guodong, feeling agitated, greeted Qingzhu and Qin Lina and went upstairs with Li Yun.
"A pair of perverts!" Qingzhu blushed, a rare occurrence for her.
Qin Lina had been looking at Zhang Guodong with a hint of resentment, but upon hearing this, she burst out laughing.
Peach Blossom Spring.
On the large bed at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Guodong's penis was deeply inserted into Li Yun's body, violently thrusting until the storm subsided and the climax burst forth.
"Husband, you're so strong!" It took Li Yun a while to catch her breath, her eyes filled with seductive charm.
Zhang Guodong smiled smugly and said, "How about another round?"
"No, you're so mean! Humph, Sister Na will be jealous! Let's go out?"
Zhang Guodong's heart skipped a beat, and he gave a dry laugh.
Qin Lina now looked at him as if he had abandoned her. This made Zhang Guodong feel both happy and guilty.
"Just stay here."
As a result, after enduring it for a long time, Zhang Guodong whipped her again, and Li Yun didn't get out of bed all night.
After going down to the second floor, I saw that it was already 7 p.m.
Zhang Guodong suddenly felt like going out for a walk. He wanted to see Fatty and the others. Just then, Fatty called.
"Guodong, damn it, it got through again! Are you coming out? It's a class reunion, is there anyone you want to see?" The fat man's lewd voice came through.
"good!"
"Guodong, where are you going?" Zhang Guodong was about to get into the van when Qin Lina appeared behind him, gazing at him silently with affection.
"I'm going to a class reunion. Why don't you come too? I bet they're all bringing their girlfriends or boyfriends!" Zhang Guodong said, recalling Qin Lina's appearance. He added another sentence.
"Okay, but will it affect you?" Qin Lina was delighted, but also worried.
"Hehe, it's nothing. Let's go!" Zhang Guodong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
Now that we've accepted this woman, we have to give her some status.
