Chapter 226: Guilingfang Market Opens, Jin Miaoshan Visits

Almost all matters involving the two giants were like this. The negotiations took four years, and there was still a lot of waiting before the compensation was paid. In the final analysis, most of the compensation went into the hands of Yunling Prefecture.

Only a very small part of them returned to Guiling. This was because Wang Yu was the person involved. If he had not asked for help quickly, he would not have waited until this stage.

The more likely possibility is that Huangquan Temple escaped.

As for the purpose of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Old Man Xuanyan might know it, but Wang Yu was not told. It seemed to involve the secret of the land in Yunling Prefecture.

Although he didn't know, he could guess.

The purpose of the other party's snatching of the holy offering is to lure him out of the city, take the opportunity to capture Wang Yu alive, and secretly control Gui Ling.

Therefore, this matter must be related to Gui Ling, so what else could be nearby? Only the [Ancient Ruins·Dongjijing]!
He suspected that the last battle for the inheritance of the Goddess of Transformation had allowed Ksitigarbha to discover some secrets. This was evidenced by the fact that after they ceded land and cities, the border expanded towards Youzhou.

Further east, there are several more cities that originally belonged to Huangquan Temple, which replaces Guiling’s uniqueness and gives monks who come to explore the ancient ruins more choices.

Staying away from the limelight is not necessarily a bad thing.

After all, the geographical advantage still exists, and anything that happens in the Dongjijing ruins will not escape Wang Yu's eyes.

Of course, all this is just his guess.

If the guess is wrong, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will never give up because of a failure, and will make more conspiracies and tricks against Gui Ling in the future.

At that time, it will be convenient to verify Wang Yu's idea.

There is no need to worry too much at the moment. The negotiations have just ended and it is at a sensitive moment. The Niling Blood Sect will also increase its surveillance of the Huangquan Temple.

This will be a rare period of peace.

Such a great opportunity.

Wang Yu adjusted the Guilingfang City that had been prepared in recent years to the first thing to do. He chose an auspicious day and brought together all the forces of the interest alliance to open the business!
He adjusted the entire industrial layout of Guiling. The central city area was no longer inhabited by mortals, but was entirely inhabited by cultivators, including the City Lord's Mansion.

Twenty third-level caves, three hundred second-level caves, and one thousand eight hundred first-level caves were built, distributed according to the inner, middle, and outer rings.

This will be the beginning of his cave rental business.

The three urban areas of East, West and South were originally ruled by the three families of Guiling. After the Bai family took over, the industries were also divided up by the Guan and Jiang families. However, their influence was actually difficult to radiate to an entire urban area.

Scattered shops are of no use even if they are located in the best locations, because the opening of the Guiling Market is a must, and this is especially true for the separate management of monks and mortals.

Only by concentration can people flow be gathered, and the rebuilt central city area has played this function very well. Various shops are gathered here, which has greatly increased the value of the land.

Arrange formations, build palaces, gather spirits, relocate, etc.

Many chaotic forces in the North City District also have to move to the Central City District, especially the business of Yunmeng Pavilion. Wang Yu can get a lot of tributes every year, and he has arranged a good place for them.

Although Chao Yunniang went to Sanmao City to plot against Luo Chen, Xiangxiang is still there. She is also a foundation-building cultivator, which is enough to maintain the basic operation of Yunmeng Pavilion.

The Blood Knife Gang had completely become his black glove. Without the Blood Knife Master, only a few kittens were left, which he also properly settled down.

As for the Zi Jin Chamber of Commerce, it has been completely absorbed by the City Lord's Mansion. Wang Yu asked Qing Yang Zhenren to take control of it temporarily and continue to maintain the business with the Yanluo Ghost Market. Even if it is at a loss, this channel relationship must be maintained.

The original North City District was converted into a workshop base, with an alchemy room, a weapon workshop, a tanning workshop for talisman paper and monster skins, the Guan family's workshop for making paper, ink, pens and inkstones, strange stone processing, formation flag making... there were too many workshops.

Among them, alchemy rooms and instrument rooms are the most numerous, and can also be provided to individual cultivators for rental.

Guilingfang City will be the main source of spiritual stone resources in the future.

Wang Yu also invested a lot of funds in the formation, so the manpower was cheap. He used the city guards as a construction team, which did not go in vain for the salaries he paid.

That little bit of spiritual stones isn't enough if I work hard, but I can always work, right?
After being the city lord for a long time, he gradually figured out some correct ways to command his subordinates to work.

Taking advantage of the opening of Guiling Market, Wang Yu conducted a large census of the cultivator population in the city, totaling more than 99, of which % were Qi-cultivating cultivators, and this was even more common in the early stages.

In Guiling, only about 50% of the people actually own mansions. Most of them are houses passed down from their ancestors, and the other half are migrant population.

For various reasons, they settled in Guiling and would stay for a period ranging from several months to several years. Some might even stay for more than ten years.

When the market opened here, people came to join in the fun and gathered these rioters together.

In fact, it is also convenient for management and can reduce the expenditure of the city patrol army. It is a good opportunity to lay off some of the independent cultivators recruited in the early stage and promote loyal guys.

The number of mobile monks was a little beyond Wang Yu's expectations.

He immediately asked people to continue building the first-level cave dwellings. He estimated that at least tens of thousands would be needed to meet basic needs. If the area of the central city was not enough, then he would build higher.

If it is still not enough, then build it on the ground. At worst, those who live in the basement can get some spirit stones reduced.

These people are also qualified to run shops in the market.

As for temporary stalls, Wang Yu specially planned three streets for them to use. They charged daily rent of a few spirit stones, which was also a large sum of money.

There is another advantage to the unified management of the market town. No matter how small the transaction is, it will not escape the eyes of the City Lord's Mansion and will have to pay taxes!

Before the market town opened, fixed shops had already sold out, making City Lord Wang rich overnight. His spirit stone reserves increased rapidly, and the Central City District has always been his territory.

Not only individual investors had to pay, but other members of the interest group were no exception. However, since this was the general direction of Guiling's development, the interest group gave up their own shops in the city.

If you choose to fully cooperate with him, you will definitely get a full discount, but the three urban areas of East, West and South have completely become places to accommodate mortals, and they only need to arrange spirit-testing ceremonies every year.

Wang Yu collected 5 million spiritual stones in this land transaction, which was closely related to his previous operation. The battle between Jin Manlou and Tianbao Pavilion, his policy of making less profit, and the foreign funds brought by the Dongjijing exploration boom... all made Guiling City much richer than before.

It was so comfortable to harvest at this time, and this was the result of him trying his best to restrain himself!

Guilingfang Market has been very prosperous since its opening. Various discounts and promotions lasted for a full month. Tianbao Tower also cooperated with Wang Yu in operations, and everyone has a bright future.

…………

March of the 31st year of my career as a deacon!
is the day.

Wang Yu is in the Niwan Palace, condensing the thirty-third soul-gnawing evil boat. With his powerful spiritual awareness, this soul-searching secret method has already entered the realm of minor success and can have the effect of searching souls and stealing memories.

There was some kind of connection between him and the secret technique of Tianhun Yiqi, as if the two complemented each other. The speed at which he practiced this secret technique was unexpectedly fast.

"Lord City Lord, we have a distinguished guest visiting us. Please go to Yingsong Palace to have a chat."

"Distinguished guest? Is it the messenger from Huangquan Temple?"

Wang Yu finished his training and pushed the door open to walk out.

Outside the door was Xu Ruozhou. As a man with rare dual spiritual roots and with the training resources of the City Lord's Mansion, he had now reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi training.

He is expected to try to break through the foundation-building stage within ten years. Once successful, he will be the first foundation-building cultivator truly belonging to the City Lord's Mansion, and Wang Yu will be able to provide him with resources for the Qi training period.

The resources required for the Foundation Establishment Period, including Foundation Establishment Pills, cannot be met by the salary of an ordinary official.

He has to rely on himself, or pay more, to get high-level resources from Wang Yu. Just doing odd jobs is far from enough.

Face doubts.

Xu Ruozhou shook his head.

"It's not someone from Huangquan Temple, but a female cultivator with an unfamiliar aura, who is at the initial stage of Jindan cultivation."

"Oh?"

Now, Wang Yu was really confused and could only go to Yingsong Palace to take a look.

Soon.

A woman wearing a veil, with exquisite makeup, rosy and watery eyes that seemed to have thousands of words hidden in them, and a head of black and white hair, came into Wang Yu's sight.

The robe he was wearing was mainly black with silver patterns, and it was tied around his waist and wrists, making him look quite capable. His chest was bulging, revealing his fair and lovely collarbone.

Although the breath was unfamiliar, he could feel a familiar murderous intent coming towards him. Taiyin's eyes opened silently, and he saw a thick scarlet fog.

A little spiritual light, under the protection of the spiritual platform, stands still as a mountain.

Wang Yu smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, it's been a long time."

That’s right, the person who came was Jin Miaoshan, whom I hadn’t seen for many years. The last time we met was last time, but she seemed to have a vague memory of us.

The relationship between the two was not friendly, but they had put aside their irreconcilable conflicts. After the Tianhun Sect inheritance transaction, Wang Yu unilaterally acknowledged this "friendship."

He was ready to squeeze more benefits out of her, but unfortunately Jin Miaoshan was in trouble and had been in seclusion for a long time, which even attracted Jin Lin's calculations again.

Compared with the past.

Jin Miaoshan's domineering and overbearing temperament decreased significantly. When you get closer, you can smell a faint smell of blood on her.

His expression can only be described as indifferent, neither sad nor happy, almost a complete change of temperament.

The influence brought by "The Shura Killing Bible" caused Wang Yu to be extremely vigilant. The inheritance of the God of Incarnation - it is so terrifying!
Fortunately, his "Little Shura Killing Fist" is not so exaggerated, nor is it a purely spiritual magical power, nor is it the Tao he comprehended from the murderous stone tablet.

It's more about restraint, and a little bit of catharsis.

This should have a lot to do with the state in which Venerable Shura was tied up at the time.

When Jin Miaoshan heard his name, she was silent for a long time.

Then he sighed.

"Just over a dozen years, but for Miao Shan, it feels like she has lived her entire life. I haven't thanked you for what Master Tianshui did."

Wang Yu had a gentle smile and his handsome face was full of kindness.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Jin, Ruzhou."

"My subordinate is here."

Xu Ruozhou hurriedly handed over a photo stone, then quickly retreated and closed all the palace doors.

"This is……"

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you will know once you see it."

The scene inside was a scene of Tianshui using the Thunder Tribulation Pill to destroy the central city area, and... the ruins!
