Chapter 64 Qiao Feng Reunited
"How could such a thing be decided by a mere commoner like me?"
Having achieved their goal, they didn't mind showing off their extraordinary encounter and flattering the emperor.
“I can give the Na Yuan Dan to Your Majesty in advance. You can pay me in advance at the price of two hundred gold coins per bottle. The rest of the pricing and sales will be decided by Your Majesty.”
"I have a small request. Besides the people Your Majesty arranges, I can also sell the Na Yuan Pills privately. Of course, I will still give Your Majesty a share of the profit from each bottle. What does Your Majesty think?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ji nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."
Seeing that he would soon have enough money to repair the garden, Zhao Ji looked at Xiu with much more satisfaction.
“Since you’re going to do business with me, it wouldn’t be proper for you not to have some kind of official status,” Zhao Ji said after a moment’s thought.
"How about this? It's not easy to get an official position in the court. I'll give you a nominal post and a gold token, granting you the right to freely enter and leave the palace."
"I hereby bestow upon you the title of True Man of a Hundred Rivers."
What a coincidence?
Showing off my wonderful encounter, I never expected to have such an unexpected bonus.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he continued, "To express my gratitude for Your Majesty's grace, I will build a Hundred Rivers Pavilion upon my return to commemorate Your Majesty's kindness."
Seeing that Xiu had such a wonderful encounter and was so tactful in praising him, Zhao Ji's mood immediately improved.
He wasn't stingy at all; on the spot, he personally wrote the three characters "Baichuan Pavilion" and bestowed them upon Xiu Chu Qi Yu as a signboard.
She praised him lavishly with simple words, and only then did he reluctantly watch as Xiuchu, having experienced a miraculous encounter, left with 200,000 taels of gold.
The capital city is a magical place.
Some news never came to light until death, while other news spread throughout the capital in a matter of moments.
Before she could even leave the palace to show off her extraordinary adventures, news of the emperor bestowing upon her the title of "Master of a Hundred Rivers" and personally inscribing a name for the gang she was about to establish had already spread throughout the capital.
Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei no longer need to worry about what happened before.
Youqiao Group, Jinfeng Xiyulou, and Liufenbantang would not openly suppress Baichuange.
Leaving aside the covert battles, at least on the surface, they couldn't slap the emperor in the face like that.
Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei excitedly greeted Xiu Chuqi outside the imperial city.
"You're finally out."
"You're amazing! How did you manage to convince the Emperor and even get him to write a message for you?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he glanced at the head of the guards who had escorted him out and felt that this might not be the right time to discuss this issue.
He simply smiled and said, "Of course I have my own way."
He then raised the inscription in his hand and said, "Now, we should first find a place to make this calligraphy into a plaque and install it."
After leaving the imperial city gate with Wang Xiaoshi and the others, Bai Choufei recommended a shop to have the inscription made into a plaque. Only then did the three begin to discuss their future plans.
"Now that we have the Emperor's personal inscription, other forces in the capital should no longer openly target us."
"Although some covert exclusion is inevitable, at least we have a little breathing room. But since we are going to establish the Hundred Rivers Pavilion, we need to choose a location as soon as possible."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked at Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei and asked, "I'm not very familiar with the terrain in the capital. Do you have any good places to recommend?"
Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei exchanged a glance.
Although they had decided to establish a new power last night, they hadn't really considered where to establish it.
Looking at the two embarrassed people, Xiuchu Qiyu had a bad feeling.
"You guys aren't just saying that offhand, are you? You haven't even figured out the specifics of how to do it?"
Bai Choufei smiled awkwardly. He really did come up with the idea of establishing his own power on a whim.
He was confident that he could handle the role of managing a gang, but creating a new gang from scratch was really a blind spot for him.
However, seeing Xiu Chuqi's dark expression, he dared not speak out.
"It's just that we need to think about this carefully."
A huge exclamation mark appeared simultaneously above Bai Choufei and Wang Xiaoshi's heads, revealing that they understood the extraordinary encounter.
"You guys are really something!"
Seeing that her allies were unreliable and that she wasn't good at managing things, she realized she wasn't exactly a leader. Although she had a small guild in JX3 (Swordsman Online), it was entirely composed of her own alt accounts, making management completely unnecessary.
The only option left is to seek help from others.
The focus shifted from showcasing their serendipitous encounters to the interface for connecting with friends.
"As the leader of the once number one gang in the world, Qiao Feng should know how to create and manage a gang, right?"
"Although confidants cannot be summoned to other dungeons to help with dungeon runs like knights, they can still be summoned to help in game levels as a unique character of the new gameplay."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he glanced at the guilty-looking Bai Choufei and Wang Xiaoshi, and sighed deeply.
"In that case, let's ask someone who knows about this to help us."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoshi's eyes lit up: "You know someone like this?"
Bai Choufei's expression was somewhat strange, and he didn't speak. But considering that he really didn't know what to do, he ultimately didn't raise any objections.
Show off your unexpected encounter by opening the Friends interface, selecting Qiao Feng, and clicking Summon.
A moment later, Qiao Feng appeared before everyone.
Suddenly summoned to an unfamiliar place, Qiao Feng showed no confusion. He simply scanned his surroundings quickly with sharp eyes to make sure there was no danger before looking at Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter.
"I have met the immortal doctor."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he joked with a smile, "Don't call me that. I haven't been a divine doctor for many years. I am now the head of Baichuan Pavilion, Master Baichuan. You can just call me by my name."
"The Pavilion Master of Baichuan Pavilion?" Qiao Feng asked in confusion. He remembered that the Immortal Doctor had said before that she was a disciple of the Seven Shows Pavilion.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he pointed to Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei: "This is Wang Xiaoshi, and the other is Bai Choufei."
"My two friends and I have decided to establish a force called Baichuan Pavilion in the capital. However, none of us have experience in creating a new guild. We thought that since you were once the leader of the number one guild in the world, you should know more about this than we do, so we specially asked you to help us."
"I, Qiao, am deeply indebted to the Immortal Physician, and I should naturally repay him with my life. Let alone such a small matter, even if you asked me to die immediately, I would not hesitate."
"Don't worry, Doctor, I will do my best."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei.
Wang Xiaoshi's eyes were clear and bright, while Bai Choufei's eyes held an undisguised ambition. Both men were handsome and had a deep, powerful aura, clearly indicating they were masters with profound inner strength.
He nodded and bowed to the two of them with clasped hands.
"Qiao Feng greets you both."
Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei were shocked by Xiu's extraordinary encounter. Just as they mentioned asking for help, the person immediately appeared before them.
Many guesses arose in his mind about the origin of Xiu's extraordinary encounter.
"Could she be a successor of some reclusive sect, with a large number of protectors hidden around her? Otherwise, how could she send people over so quickly when she asked for them?"
But an immortal healer? Does he possess extraordinary medical skills in addition to his miraculous encounters?
That's right. Since she can refine such a miraculous medicine as the Na Yuan Pill, how could she not know medicine?
With that in mind, the two turned their attention back to Qiao Feng.
The former leader of the world's number one gang?
He carefully examined Qiao Feng.
The two men saw that he walked with a steady gait, had a long and deep breath, bright eyes, and deeply bulging temples; they could tell at a glance that he was a master. His aura was truly astonishing.
He immediately began to believe his identity more.
Only those who have held high positions for a long time can cultivate such an imposing manner.
Upon seeing Qiao Feng bow, the two immediately returned the bow with heartfelt respect.
"My name is Wang Xiaoshi,"
"My name is Bai Choufei,"
"Greetings, Chief Qiao."
Qiao Feng laughed heartily and patted the two men on the shoulders: "I am no longer the leader of the gang. Since you are immortal..."
Qiao Feng paused for a moment, then remembered what he had just said about his extraordinary encounter. Not wanting to actually call her by her name, he changed his words and said, "Since you are friends of the real person, then you are also my friends. I'll be presumptuous and you can call me Brother Qiao."
The two readily agreed, saying, "Brother Qiao."
Xiu Chuqi met them all and took the initiative to bring up the matter of establishing Baichuan Pavilion.
After briefly explaining the situation in the capital, he asked, "Brother Qiao, where do you think would be a good place for us to establish the Hundred Rivers Pavilion?"
Qiao Feng pondered for a moment.
"If you ask me, I think the place you chose to sell the Na Yuan Pills was excellent."
"This place is right at the border between the Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion. Whether we focus on developing on our own in the early stages or gradually expand our influence and encroach on their territory later, it will be very convenient."
"Moreover, this place is a mixed bag, which is very disadvantageous for other gangs. But for the newly established Baichuan Pavilion, it is just right for us to recruit members."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded, feeling very proud.
She knew she had chosen an excellent spot!
Bai Choufei had some objections: "But you also said that this place is located at the border of Liufenbantang and Jinfeng Xiyulou. What if they join forces to target us?"
"As a newly established force, Baichuan Pavilion cannot possibly withstand the combined attack of the two largest gangs in the capital."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoshi shook his head: "That's not right."
“Even if we don’t choose this place, Jin Feng Xi Yu Lou and Liu Fen Ban Tang will not let us go.”
"Didn't they already join forces with the Youqiao Group to suppress us?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he patted Wang Xiaoshi on the shoulder and looked at him with admiration: "You are a promising young man."
"Since we'll be targeted no matter where we build Baichuan Pavilion, we might as well choose the place that's best for our development."
"Anyway, they can't openly attack us now, as for their underhanded methods,"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he confidently declared, "It's nothing more than assassination attempts and the like. I'll show them that all of that is futile!"
Now that they had chosen a location for Baichuan Pavilion, the group returned to the place where they had bought medicine and carefully selected a suitable plot of land.
"Shouldn't we go to the government to buy land first?"
Although the Beggars' Sect was already a mature sect when Qiao Feng took over, he still had experience in establishing many branch sects, thanks to his personal abilities, which allowed him to quickly develop the Beggars' Sect into the largest sect in the world.
"After selecting the location, the first step should indeed be to go to the government office to purchase the land. This will confirm that the land is unclaimed. Only after obtaining the land deed and completing the registration with the government can the next step of construction work begin."
"And what about building the house? Who should we hire?"
"Most construction teams are registered with the government. You can spend a little money to have a clerk recommend a suitable one."
"If you really can't find the time, you can pay someone to handle these matters. They have excellent information and resources, and can handle these problems very well."
"That sounds like a bit of a hassle. How long will this take?"
Qiao Feng replied with a smile, "Buying land and registering won't take long, but building the houses will take a long time. It will take at least one or two months to establish a gang headquarters."
"So long?"
Showing off her amazing encounter shocked her, and she thought to herself, "If only it were like Homeworld, where I could build my own house."
After spending some time and money, I successfully obtained the land title.
Before he could even take a closer look at what the land deed looked like, he found a letter in his inbox from Wannianjuyehang.
It was a congratulatory letter from Yang Xiping congratulating her on purchasing another piece of new land.
Upon seeing this, she opened the homestead interface in disbelief and discovered that she now owned a third homestead, located in the very spot she had just purchased.
Seeing Qiao Feng and the others still choosing a construction team, Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he couldn't contain his joy and patted them happily.
"There's no need to find another construction team. I have a way to quickly build Baichuan Pavilion."
"What method?" Wang Xiaoshi asked curiously.
Bai Choufei was equally curious: "How fast can it be?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Anyway, you guys go ahead and do your work. When you come back, I guarantee that our Baichuan Pavilion will be completed."
As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered something and quickly grabbed Bai Choufei and the others who were about to go out to recruit people.
"Wait, there's something I almost forgot."
“We can’t attract others to join Baichuan Pavilion by buying Na Yuan Pills at low prices. I’ve discussed it with the Emperor, and we’ll give him 100 gold for every bottle of Na Yuan Pills we sell. We even specifically mentioned that the cost of Na Yuan Pills is 120 gold.”
"Therefore, after joining Baichuan Pavilion, we can no longer sell Na Yuan Pills to them at a low price. Naturally, we can no longer use this as a gimmick to attract people to join."
Bai Choufei frowned: "But in that case, I'm afraid we won't have any advantage."
"How could there not be?" Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she laughed, "Although the discount on the Na Yuan Pill is gone, I don't only have this one kind of pill. I also have other items that can improve my physical strength or attack speed."
"Just like the home-grown dishes you ate before, although they only last for half an hour after consumption, they are still quite useful for martial arts practitioners who are always in danger, right?"
"At least in a crisis, it can save lives."
"In addition, there is the Huagong Powder, which can cure all poisons, and the superior Wanling Pill, which can quickly restore injuries and internal energy."
"You can spread the word that, apart from the Na Yuan Dan, only internal staff of Bai Chuan Ge can purchase other medicines."
"With so many medicines, surely one of them will attract others to join our Baichuan Pavilion?"
As Bai Choufei showed off his extraordinary encounters and listed out the snacks and medicines one by one, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
He looked at Xiu Chuqi and said excitedly, "Don't worry, with so many resources, I will soon be able to find a large number of martial arts figures to join Baichuan Pavilion."
"Moreover, we guarantee that those who join will not be mediocre; they must at least be at the level of a third-rate expert."
Watching Qiao Feng and the others walk away, Xiu, having experienced a strange encounter, turned around and returned to her new home.
I carefully selected a suitable homestead blueprint, planning to load it and then manually modify it. While it was loading, I suddenly received a system notification.
"Congratulations to the hero who has shown off their extraordinary adventure in establishing a new guild, Baichuan Pavilion. The system will settle the guild funds once a day according to the guild's development level and add them to the hero's existing guild."
Upon seeing this message, the person who shared their extraordinary encounter had their eyes light up.
Keep in mind that besides herself, everyone else in her tiny guild is alt accounts, and the guild funds barely reach 80,000 per week. If Baichuan Pavilion were to allocate more guild funds to her, wouldn't her tiny guild reaching the maximum level be just around the corner?
Thinking about this, my motivation to share my adventures and build a house became even stronger. I even turned on my long-unused computer and switched to the desktop version to log in and build the house.
On the other side, Qiao Feng and his group discussed it and ultimately decided to split up.
Unlike Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei's understanding of the capital's layout, Qiao Feng decided to go to the streets and gather more information about the various forces in the capital.
When they mentioned their extraordinary encounters, they only mentioned the two largest powers in the capital, the Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion. They never mentioned any other powers. Qiao Feng, however, felt it was necessary to learn more about them.
Qiao Feng arrived alone at a tavern. Before he could even sit down, a drunkard stumbled toward him.
Qiao Feng dodged the drunkard's dagger by sidestepping and grabbed his wrist.
"Isn't this brother's murderous intent a bit too strong?"
Upon hearing this, the once bustling tavern suddenly fell silent.
Those patrons who were drinking merrily just a moment ago all turned to look at Qiao Feng, and even the waiter and the accountant behind the counter turned to look at him.
If an ordinary person were to witness such a bizarre scene, they would surely be greatly shocked.
But the person sitting here is none other than Qiao Feng.
He felt no fear; instead, he secretly assessed the strength of the two most powerful forces in the capital.
"No wonder Wang Xiaoshi and the others never mentioned the other gangs in the capital. The Golden Phoenix Drizzle Pavilion and the Six and a Half Hall have such a rapid intelligence system, and can also mobilize so many experts at any time to besiege someone as unknown as me."
"Under such immense pressure, how could any other gang possibly stand out?"
It may seem like I've thought about so much, but it's really just a matter of a moment.
Qiao Feng looked fearlessly at the people surrounding him in the tavern, and stood up laughing.
"I've faced countless ambushes in my life. Since you've already laid an ambush, come at me all at once!"
This sentence acted as a fuse, instantly igniting the entire tavern.
The group of martial arts figures who had been using their imposing aura to suppress Qiao Feng suddenly swarmed forward. The small tavern immediately descended into chaos.
*********
Inside the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion, Su Mengzhen received the news the moment Qiao Feng appeared. Yang Wuxie was reporting the latest situation at Baichuan Pavilion from inside the pavilion.
"Master Baichuan has brought in a burly man from somewhere. Our people were too far away to hear their conversation, but the man certainly looked imposing and was probably no ordinary fighter."
Su Mengzhen coughed a few times: "To survive multiple attacks by the Youqiao Group and show off their extraordinary encounters, Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei, which one of them is an ordinary person?"
"They've just gained another expert, but they're nothing to fear. They've only been in the capital for a short time and don't know the situation, but do you think we don't know that?"
"The current situation in the capital is no longer something that a few more experts can shake."
"However, we can't let our guard down. Let's send some of our brothers to test his skills."
Su Mengzhen coughed a few more times before adding, her face pale, "Remember to cover it up. After all, the Emperor just bestowed the title of 'Master Baichuan' upon him and even gave him a courtesy name. We can't openly suppress them. We still need to do some public work."
Yang Wuxie bowed his head and agreed.
On the other side, in the Six and a Half Hall, Lei Sun was furious.
"You mean all the brothers we sent out, and the people from Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion, were killed by some nobody?"
Di Feijing lowered his head and replied, "That's right. Judging from that big man's skills, he's definitely no less formidable than the Grand Master."
Lei Sun's face turned even uglier upon hearing this.
"If they are just ordinary experts, they really cannot shake the status quo in the capital. It won't be so easy for them to grow under the suppression of our Six and a Half Hall and Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion."
"But since this person's martial arts skills are so high, I'm afraid we can't let him live."
He turned to Lei Mei and said, "Take some skilled men and try to recruit him. If you fail, kill him."
Lei Mei reached out and touched Lei Sun's chest: "Sect Master Di Feijing said that the man's martial arts are no less than yours, so how could I possibly deal with him?"
"Moreover, since Master Baichuan has brought that person along, he probably won't be so easy to recruit."
Lei Mei spoke softly, "I do have a plan."
"The person imprisoned in the Misty Sky Alliance has not appeared in the capital for a long time, and people in the martial arts world have probably forgotten about him."
"Why don't we shift the blame and let them fight with the Mitian Alliance? There are Mitian Alliance members involved in the siege today, so let them fight like dogs and tie down their energy."
"We are currently at a critical juncture in the struggle for dominance with the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion. It would be disastrous if we were to lose strength because of some nobody."
Lei Sun heard this and indeed felt there was some truth to it.
He smiled and touched Lei Mei's chin, his eyes filled with ambition.
“Your idea is indeed good. It’s just a newly established force. Even if it has rare treasures, it is certainly not enough to compare with the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion.”
"Let's leave them here for a while and let them have some fun with the people from the Mitian Alliance."
"Once we've taken over the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion, we can deal with them one by one."
