Feng Shao led Deng Jingyun to the reception room and personally made a cup of tea for Deng Jingyun. Deng Jingyun thanked him and sat down, saying with emotion: "I didn't expect that in less than a year, Brother Feng has built this city to such a scale. It's really unbelievable."

Feng Shao also made himself a cup of tea. While drinking, he said calmly: "Brother Deng, are you also planning to buy a piece of land in Wuling City and build a house?"

Deng Jingyun smiled and said, "That's great. I do have this idea, but I don't know how expensive the land deed of Wuling City is."

Feng Shao smiled slightly: "If Brother Deng really intends to buy land, I suggest you hurry up. The land in Wuling City is becoming less and less. If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to buy it."

After the two chatted casually for a while, they finally got to the point.

Deng Jingyun said seriously: "Brother Feng, it is already August now. There is still more than a month before Qiankun Palace appears in the world. I wonder if Brother Feng is ready?"

Feng Shao shrugged: "Of course, I made a lot of preparations for this trip. Apart from other things, I have looked up a lot of information about Qiankun Palace."

"Then I wonder if Brother Feng has gained anything?"

"I did gain a little, but not much." Feng Shao put down his teacup and sighed, "This Qiankun Palace has disappeared for thousands of years. The legends and records about the three palace masters are mixed with truth and falsehood. I don't know which one to believe. It is even said that the founder of the Tiangang Sword Sect is the Xuanji Palace Master, one of the three palace masters. I don't know whether it is true or not."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Deng Jingyun was curious. "This is the first time I've heard of it."

Feng Shao looked at Deng Jingyun for a long while before he slowly said, "Who knows if it's true or not?"

Deng Jingyun attached great importance to the Qiankun Palace, so he naturally collected a lot of information about the Qiankun Palace before setting off. Although the founder of the Tiangang Sword Sect was the Xuanji Palace Master, it was a secret, but if someone was determined to investigate, it might not be impossible to find out. However, Deng Jingyun looked like he knew nothing about it, which made Feng Shao more wary of Deng Jingyun.

Although the two sides reached a cooperation intention, before that, both Guan Shuo and Fang Yiming had warned Feng Shao that Deng Jingyun was a person who would not do anything without profit. And judging from Deng Jingyun's past behavior, he was obviously an egoist. So it is not possible to cooperate with such a person without holding back. And Feng Shao's words just now were his test.

However, Deng Jingyun was quite cunning, and Feng Shao didn't find out much after all his attempts. He couldn't help but curse in his heart that he was really a cunning fox.

At this time, Deng Jingyun suddenly took out a storage ring and placed it on the table, saying with a smile: "Brother Feng was very happy a few days ago, and I was unable to attend due to trivial matters at home. I feel ashamed. I came here today to make up for the wedding gift for Brother Feng. I hope Brother Feng will not refuse."

Feng Shao picked up the storage ring and said with a smile: "Brother Deng, you are too polite. Since Brother Deng's kindness is hard to refuse, then I will also be disrespectful to refuse it."

Seeing Feng Shao put away the storage ring and said nothing, he could not help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother Feng, I heard that Wuling City has recently produced a new specialty called the Engraving Array Pen. I am curious and want to see it. I hope Brother Feng can fulfill this small wish of mine."

Feng Shao sneered in his heart. Ha, you won't pretend this time, right?

When Deng Jingyun took out the storage ring, Feng Shao had already guessed his intention. After all, Qianyun City was not far from Wuling City, and Feng Shao had sent out the invitation more than a month in advance. It made no sense for Deng Jingyun to be unable to attend Feng Shao's wedding, especially when the two were planning to go to Qiankun Palace together. If it were Feng Shao himself, he would definitely be there no matter what.

So the fact that Deng Jingyun was not present is very intriguing.

Seeing that there was still more than a month before Qiankun Palace was unveiled, Deng Jingyun came to Wuling City a little early. Feng Shao guessed that Deng Jingyun came early because he realized that the value of Wuling City was much greater than he had expected, so the purpose of his trip should be more to evaluate the value of Wuling City and the feasibility of cooperation and investment.

In the evaluation, the engraving pen is naturally the most important link.

Feng Shao smiled faintly and said, "Compared to the formation engraving pen, Brother Deng might be more interested in another thing."

Deng Jingyun asked curiously: "Oh? Then what is it?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Brother Deng, please follow me."

Feng Shao led Deng Jingyun through the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion and came to the Fire Refining Hall Foundry. At this time, the Fire Refining Hall disciples were coming and going in the Fire Refining Hall Foundry, busy as hell. From a distance, the two of them could feel the hot air blowing in their faces. It was obvious that something was being cast in the foundry with full firepower.

Deng Jingyun suppressed his curiosity and pretended to be calm. He had heard about the Fire Refining Hall of Yunjian Pavilion for a long time. A few days ago, he also heard that the Fire Refining Hall moved its headquarters to Wuling City. He was curious why Yunjian Pavilion would move such an important department here.

When he arrived at Wuling City, Deng Jingyun also wanted to test the depth of the cooperation between Wuling City and Yunjian Pavilion, and Huolian Hall and Qingxing Hall were the two most valuable references. But he did not expect that Feng Shao would bring him to Huolian Hall right away, and he did not shy away from it at all.

When the disciples of Huolian Hall saw Feng Shao, they all bowed and called him "Senior Brother". Now Feng Shao was considered half a member of Yunjian Pavilion, so there was nothing wrong with calling him "Senior Brother".

Feng Shao smiled and returned the greetings one by one, and said: "Senior brother, please take out one of the things that Master Xue just made a few days ago."

The disciple of the Fire Refining Hall responded and turned to go to the storeroom. Not long after, the disciple handed a storage ring to Feng Shao and said, "Brother Feng, the things are in here. In addition, Master said that there are still many details that have not been perfected. It will take some time to complete the finished product."

Feng Shao nodded: "Thank you for your help."

After leaving the Fire Refining Hall, Feng Shao took Deng Jingyun back to the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. After finding an open space, Feng Shao stopped and turned to Deng Jingyun and said, "Brother Deng, what you will see later will be something more attractive than the formation engraving pen."

"Oh? Then please don't keep me in suspense, Brother Feng. Let me see it right away!" Deng Jingyun said with a smile.

Feng Shao nodded and waved his hand, and a magic weapon appeared on the ground.

From the outside, this magic weapon is a cylinder with a diameter of about one foot, with three tubes connected to the bottom, extending about two feet outward. At the top of the central cylinder, there is a golden ring the size of a bracelet.

Deng Jingyun looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Brother Feng, what is this?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "I call this thing a 'Spirit Gathering Device'. If it is placed in the Spirit Gathering Tower, it can form a place with rich spiritual energy in the tower, and the effect is no less than the blessed land of the three holy places. I wonder if Brother Deng is interested in this thing?"

Deng Jingyun's eyelids jumped suddenly: "It actually has such an effect? ​​I wonder how long it can last?"

Feng Shao replied: "Brother Deng, can you see the storage ring above? The ring is filled with high-concentration spiritual energy. The spiritual energy inside can be continuously diffused to the surroundings through the spiritual gathering device, so that the concentration of spiritual energy in the surroundings is maintained at a constant value. There are three optional concentrations. If the highest concentration is used, the spiritual energy stored once can be used for ten years. If it is the lowest concentration, then it can be used for fifty years."

Deng Jingyun looked down at the spirit gathering device and swallowed subconsciously.

The most important things in cultivation are wealth, companions, Dharma, and land. Although the first three are hard to come by, they can be found if one is determined to find them. The last one is the most troublesome issue for most cultivators.

Therefore, this blessed land in the upper domain has long been divided up by various forces!

If the newcomers want to have a good cave paradise, they can either join the big forces or rob. Most of the fights between monks come from the competition for resources, and the cave paradise is the most important resource.

Some sects that are not very strong and cannot compete for the blessed land can only settle for the next best thing and build a spirit gathering tower to artificially create a blessed land. However, the spirit gathering tower consumes a huge amount of spirit stones. Even if a sect can build it, it is mostly idle. Every time it is used, it feels like burning money. Therefore, unless you are the most respected disciple or elder in the sect, you are basically not qualified to use it.

So although the Soul Gathering Tower is good, few sects actually build it. Either they can't afford it, or they can afford to build it but can't afford to use it.

But Feng Shao casually took out a magic weapon and said that it could allow a spirit gathering tower to maintain the maximum spiritual energy concentration for ten years? This is simply a fantasy!

Deng Jingyun suppressed his excitement and asked Feng Shao in a calm tone, "It seems that the key to this spirit gathering device lies in this gas storage ring, right?"

Feng Shao clapped his hands and smiled, "Brother Deng is really smart. As long as there is spiritual energy in this gas storage ring, the spirit gathering device can continue to operate. After the spiritual energy is used up, this gas storage ring can be replenished here in Wuling City. It costs one million spirit stones to fill it up once."

One million spirit stones, this price sounds like a steal. But if it is spread over ten years, the annual consumption is only 100,000 spirit stones. This is equivalent to renting a cave paradise with rich spiritual energy at the price of 100,000 spirit stones per year. With this calculation, this price is simply too cost-effective!

Even those sects with limited funds can open the lowest concentration of spiritual energy and maintain it for fifty years. If they are more frugal, open it when needed and close it when not needed, it may be able to be used for more than a hundred years, and the annual cost is less than 10,000 spiritual stones.

Good stuff! It really is a good stuff! No matter how big the sect or force is, this is a rare good stuff!

Deng Jingyun took a deep breath and asked, "Then I wonder how much do you plan to sell this spirit gathering device, Brother Feng?"

Feng Shao immediately turned into a salesman and gave a beautiful price list: "The price of a single Soul Gathering Device is 200,000 Spiritual Stones. If the buyer purchases five units of spiritual energy at one time, the Soul Gathering Device can be given directly as a gift. In addition, if the buyer is short of money, we can also provide installment payment services. However, the price will be slightly increased. The highest installment we support is ten years. The Soul Gathering Device is paid for 24,000 Spiritual Stones per installment, and one unit of spiritual energy is paid for 120,000 Spiritual Stones per installment."

Deng Jingyun was stunned. He thought the Pavilion Master of Yunjian Pavilion was already a business genius, but he didn't expect that the Pavilion Master's son-in-law was even better at business!

Installment payment? This is the first time I’ve heard of it!

But Deng Jingyun's mind was also very quick. He only hesitated for a moment before saying, "Regarding this spirit gathering device, I do have an idea."

Feng Shao asked curiously: "Oh? Then I wonder what Brother Deng thinks?"

Deng Jingyun said seriously: "I wonder if Brother Feng needs an agent to sell it? With Qianyun City's capabilities, I believe we can provide Brother Feng with a considerable sales channel!"

Feng Shao: “…”

It turns out that there is always someone stronger than the strongest. Deng Jingyun is a true business genius!
