Chapter 205 Tianbao Pavilion Moves into Guiling (Please Subscribe and Vote!)
As for Jin Miaoshan's channels, he only uses them when he urgently needs them, and they are indeed insufficient for him and the Guiling market.
Furthermore, for the healthy development of the entire city, the more business giants the better; being monopolized by Jinmanlou is not a good thing.
"I see."
After nodding, Qingyang added.
"Going to Moshan City can indeed solve some of the equipment problems, but those people may not agree to come with me, and besides, the Water Ink Sect Master..."
"These are not problems."
Wang Yu rummaged through his storage bag and took out several boxes containing high-grade Soul Essence Pills.
He practiced his alchemy with the perfected level of the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique. After all, he had a thousand sets of materials, and even if he refined them all into top-grade spiritual pills, he wouldn't be able to use them all.
Therefore, after trying it out, he obtained more than ten high-grade Soul Essence Pills and more than twenty mid-grade Soul Essence Pills, but no top-grade or low-grade ones.
With such a high level of alchemy skill, even if the refining process is difficult, the result won't be too bad.
After refining four or five batches, he stopped, and now he could use the finished product to bribe these Core Formation cultivators.
Soul Essence Pills are a rare type of precious pill that can enhance spiritual power. They also have a certain effect on Core Formation cultivators. High-grade Soul Essence Pills are quite valuable.
They were just asked to accompany him on the trip, mainly to showcase Guiling's potential customers to Tianbao Pavilion, since Wang Yu's personal financial resources are limited.
They will attract Tianbaoge to compete with Jinmanlou.
I'm new here.
If you want to quickly seize market share from your old rivals, a price war is the best way.
He's bringing blessings to all Guiling cultivators; shouldn't we erect a monument in his honor to celebrate his achievements in governing the city?!
It's perfect to have Qingyang make the trip.
Even if the Soul Essence Pill were given as an invitation, the Water Ink Sect Master might not refuse. Given his long-standing friendship with True Person Qingyang, he would most likely consider inviting the person back.
When a conflict arises, the first priority should be reconciliation, not turning into enemies.
"Put these things on my account and deduct them from the offerings."
"No need. This is a matter for Guiling City. Why should resources be deducted from your account? Besides... if they are deducted, you won't get any spirit stones for ten years."
Qingyang: "...(o_0)!"
Wang Yu waved his hand, not caring about the expense.
In the past, when we were poor, we were meticulous and calculated every penny. Now that we're wealthy, we can achieve our goals while also building relationships, and we don't hesitate to spend money where necessary.
Ultimately, he was the one who benefited.
The Soul Essence Pill came easily, but the sense of wealth wasn't that strong.
Now that Jin Miaoshan is in seclusion due to an accident, it is the perfect time for Yintianbaoge to enter the scene, and he does not want to delay important matters.
After seeing off the offering of the blue sheep, Wang Yu continued his cultivation.
He is currently engrossed in comprehending the Lesser Asura Killing Fist, and his inventory space is insufficient. However, with the Killing Intent Cultivation Room as an aid, his cultivation speed is quite fast.
When you encounter a bottleneck, use the placement bar to "grind" it out.
This situation continued until two months later, in mid-July, the 20th year of Lord Wang's career as a steward!
…………
…………
"Lord Wang, it's better to meet you in person than to have heard so much about you. You are a very famous person in our Yunling Prefecture. Tianbao Pavilion has always regretted not being able to establish a branch in Guiling."
Wang Yu smiled and invited the person to take a seat.
"Now that we've arrived, I haven't yet asked how to address you."
"Han Jia, one of the elders of the main pavilion of Tianbao Pavilion and Yunling."
Upon hearing the identity, Wang Yu was somewhat surprised. Elders from small places were only of some importance, but the elders of the Yunling Main Pavilion were at least in the late stage of Core Formation.
Sending such a powerful expert to Guiling to open a branch is truly a waste of talent, considering that Ye Qing from the neighboring Jinman branch is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Furthermore, Han Jia's life force is not waning, and he has a dignified appearance and a strong sense of career.
The mature, older man's image was much better than Ye Qing's; at least he was very approachable, a whole level above Ye Qing. He was also accompanied by a young man and a young woman.
This was also mentioned at this time.
"Lord Wang, these two are Han's children, Han Jinlong and Han Yinfeng."
Wang Yu: "...A good name, a good spirit."
"Hehe, when my wife gave birth to twins, she named them after dragons, phoenixes, gold, and silver. They can't compare to a young talent like Lord Wang."
Han Jia's attitude was excellent, but he also had the common problem of a patriarch: he liked to put his own children down. For example, the two young people who had come to Guiling City in high spirits were now being bullied.
His expression immediately turned sour, not only towards Han Jia but also towards Wang Yu.
"Long'er, Yinfeng, hurry up and call for help."
"..."
Their silence is a testament to their stubbornness.
Wang Yu quickly smoothed things over, saying, "It's alright, we can just get to know each other. I've prepared a banquet in the inner hall, we can eat and talk together."
Han Jia is a late-stage Core Formation expert, while Wang Yu, although a city lord, has a much greater difference in cultivation level. Treating each other as equals is already a sign of respect from the other party, let alone being so polite.
It should be noted that Tianbao Pavilion is a dominant force on par with the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect!
You have powerful backers, and so do I. My cultivation level is even a whole realm higher than yours, so you should respect me.
Therefore, Wang Yu's attitude was mainly friendly, and he didn't care even if the two juniors gave him a hard time.
"Younger generation," "younger generation"... that's how it is, there's no such thing as a wrong way to address someone.
Furthermore, they were humiliating Han Jia.
really.
At the banquet that followed, Han Jia repeatedly tried to curry favor with the twins, even suggesting that they learn from him, as these two young people were probably his peers.
He appeared to be at the second level of Foundation Establishment, was over fifty years old, and could be considered a genius, with dual spiritual roots as his foundation.
Wang Yu compared them to Jin Manlou in his mind many times, and immediately felt that Tianbaoge was the real chamber of commerce, which carried out the principle of "harmony brings wealth" to the end. Almost everything was settled after a meal.
Land, taxes, auction scheduling, policy support from the city lord's government, marketing, and so on.
Especially auctions.
The branch of Tianbao Pavilion to be established in Guiling City will offer auctions featuring items up to the third tier of spiritual treasures. Auctions of this level will attract a huge influx of people and enhance Guiling City's reputation.
A large population means a large market, high consumption, and therefore, high tax revenue.
The City Lord's Mansion's industries cover all aspects of life, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, aging, illness, death, combat, and adventure.
As a result, the amount of spirit stones he could earn each year would naturally increase, and he could occasionally take some time to refine a batch of high-quality cultivation pills to fill the city lord's treasury.
The average cultivation level of the city guards and patrol guards can also be gradually improved.
"Oh, right."
As the banquet was about to end, Han Jia took out a ring inlaid with a blue rhombus-shaped gemstone and handed it to Wang Yu.
"These are the items entrusted to me by Fellow Daoist Qingyang. I have found almost everything written on the scroll."
Wang Yu was startled.
"So fast?"
"Haha, our Tianbao Pavilion is famous for its complete selection of goods, and the geniuses of both regions tend to spend their money here."
--walk slowly!
Wang Yu saw the difference between the two sides even more clearly.
"This ring is a high-grade Qiankun Ring, the Sea Heart Ring. Its internal space is vast enough to contain the entire Guiling City. All other spiritual items are inside. City Lord Wang, you may examine them."
"good."
Wang Yu didn't stand on ceremony and started counting the items right in front of everyone.
He is not short of resources at this stage, so most of the things he buys are for future use. It is foreseeable that this will happen when his career as the Lord of Guiling City ends.
He was able to save up almost all the resources needed for his Core Formation stage cultivation. This was the benefit of having the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and the support of the Nascent Soul clan.
He's holding on pretty well right now.
The items inside are few in number, but all are of very high quality.
Ten portions of materials for refining the Ice Spirit Pill would be enough to cause him to develop a pill barrier.
Third-order, Yin-type equipment, bark of a thousand-year-old locust tree.
Tier 3 Ice-type Equipment - Ice Soul Stone
Tier 3 Ice-type Equipment Snow Mountain Heavy Iron
Tier 3 Spiritual Item: Nourishing Treasure and Spirit-Enhancing Liquid.
With four items in total, plus the value of the Hai Xin Ring itself, Wang Yu handed over all his savings with a mixture of pain and pleasure.
Five million five hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones!
Aside from the eight hundred high-grade spirit stones that remained untouched, they truly emptied the coffers of Guiling City Lord Wang Yu.
The most expensive items here are the Sea Heart Ring and the Treasure Nourishing and Spirit-Enhancing Liquid, especially the latter, which can upgrade a magic weapon with the potential for advancement from a second-tier top-grade item to a third-tier magic treasure.
It works even without a weapon refiner, which is extremely rare in Chi Yuan.
Only fourth-tier weapon refiners from the [Blazing Sun Sect], a major weapon refining sect in the Taihu Spiritual Domain, can produce it. Jin Manlou doesn't have it at all, so Wang Yu naturally prepared it for his Ghost Cry Flute.
Most importantly, after using the Treasure-Nourishing Liquid to advance, it can still be refined a second time to unleash the potential of all the equipment and finally take shape.
There's a reason why things are expensive.
Han Jia was quite surprised to receive such a large sum of spirit stones. He thought Wang Yu would choose to pay slowly, since he hadn't been in Guiling City for very long.
I really didn't expect him to have amassed such a large fortune. Doesn't he need to make offerings to the emperor?
Having received the full payment, Han Jia naturally didn't say much. Instead, he took out a white jade token with the words "Tianbao" engraved on it.
"This is a VIP token from Tianbao Pavilion. It is only issued when spending more than five million spirit stones. From now on, no matter which Tianbao Pavilion Lord goes to, he can directly enter the VIP room to conduct transactions."
“There are also private rooms and secret exits for participating in any auction.”
After taking the token, Wang Yu looked it over a few times.
Thank you.
Here we can see the difference again. Tianbao Pavilion issues VIP tokens based on the amount spent, while Jinmanlou issues them based on cultivation level. The one he has was a gift from Jin Miaoshan.
She made it very clear at the time that with this token, one could receive the same courtesy and benefits as a Core Formation cultivator within the building, as well as a 95% discount.
From this perspective, Tianbaoge seems to place more emphasis on the transaction itself.
After a satisfying meal and drinks, and having discussed most of the matters at hand, we realized we had covered our business.
Han Jia then got up to take his leave. He took the building-type magic treasure he had refined inside the building and went directly to the land that Wang Yu had approved for him. He just needed to level the ground a little, activate the magic treasure, and throw it out.
It's very convenient.
The twins, a boy and a girl, were sullen all night, which made Wang Yu laugh; it was quite amusing.
After personally seeing the person off from the city lord's mansion, Wang Yu specifically instructed Xu Ruozhou: "I will be going into seclusion for a period of time. I will not see anyone and no one is allowed to disturb me."
Xu Ruozhou nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
at the same time.
When Han Jia and his two companions arrived at the land that Wang Yu had approved, they were dumbfounded. Not only was there a building there, but the Jin Man Lou restaurant was right next door.
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
