Zhao Ziyi's approach of offering both milk tea and boxed meals gave Qingluan Ancestor boundless confidence.
As long as the milk tea sells well, each additional territory will bring in hundreds of billions of spirit stones every year!
In less than a year, they can raise enough money to buy the small world.
With a weight lifted from his heart and no longer burdened, the Azure Phoenix Ancestor picked up the scallops in his bowl and began to eat them heartily.
At this moment, Patriarch Wuzhiqi suddenly looked up and asked in confusion:
"Qingluan, our actions are to save the True Treasure Continent. Why not let other forces share the burden of spirit stones as well?"
"We'll pay for it, but everyone gets to share the spoils of victory? That's just too unfair!"
Before the Azure Phoenix Ancestor could speak, Zhao Ziyi chuckled and asked:
"Ancestor Wuzhiqi, what do you think is the reason for the success of the Spicy Palace in such a short time?"
Wuzhiqi scratched his head:
"You and Song Chen work together perfectly. He cooks, you sell the goods, what a great combination!"
Zhao Ziyi held up one finger and shook it:
No, that's not the main reason.
With its chaotic energy, Spicy Palace will become famous sooner or later.
But the reason why I became famous so quickly is only one thing: I am the one who calls the shots at Spicy Palace.
Song Chen will always support my decisions and will never disagree with them.
This allows the sales plan to be implemented very quickly.
If I had to discuss every decision with Song Chen, then the Spicy Palace would still be holed up on the banks of the Fox Clan River.
"I'm afraid we haven't even found all the employees yet, let alone made any money."
After hearing these words, Wuzhiqi the Ancestor seemed to understand but not quite, and there was still a kind of clear foolishness in his eyes.
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor explained slowly and deliberately:
"Different stances lead to different directions of thinking; every cultivator has their own selfish motives."
The demon race and the monster race are willing to cooperate because we cannot leave the True Treasure Continent.
But humans are different. Human cultivators can go to the Immortal Illumination Continent. Do you think they will stand with us?
Tens of millions of spirit stones are enough to take a cruise.
Then why would they spend over a billion spirit stones to cooperate with us?
When Qingluan posed the question, Wuzhiqi, judging others by his own standards, pondered it carefully and then shook his head:
"If it were me, I wouldn't pay that extra money. Saving money is so hard."
At this moment, Qingluan took out a cup of milk tea from his storage bag, which Tianhu had personally prepared for him.
As soon as the milk tea appeared, Wuzhiqi Patriarch immediately took out an empty cup from his storage bag.
"Qingluan, pour me some, I want to drink too."
Qingluan swayed the milk tea and chuckled softly:
Why should I give it to you? Can you beat me?
Wuzhiqi's face flushed slightly. Being refused food was embarrassing. He lowered his head and ate his seafood heartily, angrily saying:
"If you won't give it to me, then don't. Why are you humiliating me?"
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor straightened his expression, placed the milk tea on the steel platform of the table, and said sternly:
"You've felt it, haven't you? Power is only in the hands of high-ranking cultivators."
If the truth of the small world were to be known by human cultivators...
The moment the cruise ship arrives, the True Treasure Continent will be transformed into a living hell.
High-level cultivators wantonly slaughtered low-level cultivators, wanting to loot their treasures before leaving.
When order is lost and the number of cultivators decreases, the spiritual energy of the True Treasure Continent will rapidly dissipate!
Wuzhiqi's mouth dropped open as he listened, and after a long while, he understood.
However, Wuzhiqi was still somewhat unconvinced. He pointed at Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi and said:
"Human cultivators are not as bad as you think!"
Look at Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi, and even Xiu, the person who bought the boxed lunches—I think they're all great!
Ancestor Qingluan shook his head helplessly:
"From now on, you should read more about how to govern people. As an ancestor, how come you don't even know the basic art of managing subordinates?"
Since ancient times, the problem has not been scarcity but inequality.
"If even one bad guy stands up to rob, then all the high-level cultivators will become robbers."
Wuzhiqi touched his nose and explained:
"How could that be? I think you're overthinking it."
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor looked at him with a half-smile:
"Since you insist on this point of view, then the Spicy Palace Red Bottom Monkey Milk Tea branch should not be opened."
Upon hearing this, Wuzhiqi was first surprised, then enraged. He slammed his fist on the ground, his eyes wide, and roared:
"Why? Why can't you just stop opening it because you say so?"
Ancestor Qingluan also stood up, his imposing aura prompting him to retort:
"Yeah? Why? Why can others rob and get something for nothing, but I can't?"
Wuzhiqi Patriarch's mouth twitched, and he quickly admitted his mistake:
"So you were just kidding. I thought the bubble tea shop was really closing down."
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ziyi quickly lowered his head and started eating.
He felt that the Azure Phoenix Ancestor was right; perhaps only despicable people had ever committed robbery involving zero-dollar purchases.
However, when people see that those who buy things for free are not punished.
When they buy things and pay for them, they feel extremely aggrieved and psychologically unbalanced.
Everyone else is grabbing it, why shouldn't I?
An uncontrollable farce then began.
Zhao Ziyi thought back for a moment and realized that there was a similar theory in psychology called the broken windows theory.
A single broken window can create a sense of disorder.
The remaining windows will shatter one after another.
This theory states that if negative phenomena in the environment are allowed to exist, they will tempt people to imitate them, and even escalate them.
Zhao Ziyi patted his head, thanking his excellent brain; even after graduating from university for so long, he still remembered this knowledge point.
Song Chen, who had been listening in, nodded and smiled:
"Ideas are inherently very easy to be disturbed."
A poisonous insect, a dream, a skill—all can disturb one's mind.
We are not gambling gods; we cannot gamble on the most perfect possibility.
Because we cannot control the millions of cultivators on the True Treasure Continent.
Wuzhiqi, the patriarch, raised his hands to cover his ears. Even the juniors were lecturing him; he had truly lost face.
"Alright, alright, let's eat. I understand. After we finish eating, I'll send Qingluan away! So you can all conspire to lecture me!"
Upon hearing that Ancestor Qingluan was leaving soon, Zhao Ziyi straightened his expression.
“Ancestor, we have two things we'd like you to help us bring back to the Spicy Palace.”
Ancestor Qingluan nodded: "What is it?"
"The first thing to do is to have Xiao Shi announce the acquisition of Linghuo."
Spicy Palace has acquired all the spiritual fires in the world.
We collect not only the hundred flames listed in the "Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire Ranking," but also flames not on the list.
Only five of each type of spirit fire will be purchased, on a first-come, first-served basis.
The purchase price is three times the market price.
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor nodded:
"Okay, I've got it."
Zhao Ziyi took out a piece of clothing and a jade pendant from his storage bag and handed them to Ancestor Qingluan:
"The second thing is to have Ancestor Tianhu identify the aura of the clothes and jade pendant."
This garment was hand-sewn by my mentor, Zhao Linlin.
The jade pendant was a gift from Song Chen's master to me when we first met.
If the Tianyan Small World were to return to the Immortal Illumination Continent, it would definitely be able to see them.
I want to ask the Celestial Fox Ancestor to help me check their current situation and whether they are in any danger.
The Celestial Fox Ancestor's Star Pivot Secret Mirror is exceptionally powerful.
By locking onto the aura, one can see the hidden realm that has emerged from the world, and also see every corner of the continent.
Only the wandering, uncertain little world and the unfathomable space of Mufeng remain unseen.
They had previously suspected that Mu Feng's space was also one of the fragments of the continent.
Ancestor Qingluan carefully put away the two items and nodded:
"Okay, I will pass it on."
