In the Hongde Hall, Fang Jian ordered the gods to brew a pot of spiritual tea for Cen Biqing. He did not return to the Shangshu seat on the steps of the hall, but set up a table in the hall and sat opposite Cen Biqing.
Fang Jian personally picked up the white jade teapot and poured a cup of tea for Cen Biqing and himself. After putting the teapot down, he asked, "How did Fairy Qing find time to come and see me?"
Cen Biqing smiled and said, "A first-rank immortal official from the Heavenly Court personally brewed tea for a demon immortal like me. I'm afraid there aren't many people who can receive such a treatment."
Fang Jian also laughed and said, "Fairy Qing is wrong. There are many first-rank immortal officials who make tea for demon immortals, but there are not many demon immortals who can have Master Hongqing personally make tea for them."
Upon hearing this, Cen Biqing couldn't help but smile, looking at Fang Jian with her starry eyes, saying, "You've changed a lot."
"Hmm?" Fang Jian was a little surprised. He lowered his head and looked at himself, saying, "What's changed?"
"The official power has grown." Cen Biqing pondered for a moment after saying this, then said, "No, it should be the divine power that has grown stronger."
Fang Jian burst into laughter upon hearing this, and then said to Cen Biqing, "Fairy Qing knows how to flatter now."
Cen Biqing was slightly startled when he heard this, and then became a little nervous and embarrassed. He quickly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of the spiritual tea.
After putting down the teacup, Cen Biqing's demeanor returned to normal, and then he said to Fang Jian, "Actually, I came here this time for two reasons: first, to visit you, and second, you haven't received the dividends for the past hundred years, so I specially sent them to you this time."
Hearing this, Fang Jian sighed and said, "Now that you mention it, I really feel a little regretful."
"Huh?" Cen Biqing was a little surprised. "What do you mean?"
Fang Jian said, "If I had gone to get it a few years earlier, I would have gained merit, but now I can only get the robbery jade."
Cen Biqing was somewhat puzzled by Fang Jian's words and asked, "Why is merit so important to you?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Very important."
Cen Biqing felt a little regretful upon hearing this, but then she started to complain, "This is all your own fault. You've hardly been to Lingxia Mountain in the past hundred years. I couldn't find you even if I wanted to. It's all your fault."
Fang Jian looked at Cen Biqing's angry and complaining expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Fairy Qing is right. It's all my fault. So, how much dividend did Fairy Qing give me this time?"
Speaking of this, Cen Biqing suddenly became lively. Her clear eyes sparkled and she asked Fang Jian, "Guess the number!"
Fang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "One hundred thousand!"
Cen Biqing shook his head and said, "Not enough, be bolder."
Fang Jian guessed again: "Five hundred thousand?"
Cen Biqing smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took another sip of the spiritual tea, saying: "I didn't expect that Master Hongqing is so famous, but his vision is so small. Guess again."
Fang Jian thought carefully this time and said, "One hundred million?"
"Puff!" Cen Biqing spat out a mouthful of tea, then she quickly put the teacup down, her face slightly red as she said, "Sorry."
"It's okay." Fang Jian said with a smile.
Cen Biqing took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, then said to Fang Jian, "You're going too far!"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Didn't you say I was narrow-minded?"
Cen Biqing rolled her eyes and said, “When you say such a big thing, my sense of accomplishment is gone in an instant.”
"Haha." Fang Jian laughed, then said, "How much has Fairy Qing earned over the years? Can you tell me?"
Cen Biqing no longer kept the secret and took out five storage bags from his sleeve. He then placed them on the table and said, "After deducting my share of the dividends, various expenses, and the dividends for everyone in Lingxia Mountain, the rest is all yours. A total of 5.66 million Tribulation Jades."
Now it was Fang Jian's turn to be shocked. "So, each of these storage bags contains over a million Tribulation Jades?"
"Yes." Seeing Fang Jian's shocked expression, Cen Biqing smiled complacently, "Lingxia Mountain's business has expanded to the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou, and even to Beijuluzhou."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian couldn't help but give Cen Biqing a thumbs-up. "Too strong, Fairy Qing! It seems I underestimated you! Now you are richer than 80% of the immortals in the Great World of Yamabu."
Cen Biqing was very happy to hear Fang Jian's praise, and the joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.
However, Cen Biqing's smile soon faded and she said to Fang Jian, "It's a pity that the immortal medicine business will not be easy to do in the future."
"What happened?" Fang Jian asked hurriedly after hearing this: "Is there any accident?"
Cen Biqing shook his head and said, "Isn't it the end of the Dharma? The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is exhausted. If the immortal medicines and spiritual medicines in Lingxia Mountain rely solely on the spiritual energy supplied by the Jianchi, their growth cycle will slow down and their scale will also shrink."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. It's okay. Let's take our time. If we can reduce it, it's better than nothing."
"Yeah." Cen Biqing nodded, then said dejectedly, "Another point. Because the Jade Emperor has decreed the heavenly tribulation, the price of Penglai grass has plummeted. It's almost as cheap as cabbage."
Fang Jian smiled upon hearing this, and felt very familiar with Cen Biqing's analogy. "Penglai Immortal Grass used to be the main ingredient in refining the elixir of True Immortal Dao Fruit. Now that becoming an immortal depends on overcoming tribulations, not elixirs, its price has naturally plummeted."
After hearing Fang Jian's words of comfort, Cen Biqing's worry turned into joy. She then said, "But this Dharma Ending Tribulation does have some benefits. Last time, I beat a Taiyi Xuanxian to a pulp. Hahaha, what a pity you didn't see it! This kind of thing was almost impossible to happen before."
