Chapter 345: Chapter 342: Beimang’s Three Marvels, Plague Treasure’s Four Treasures

"But I’m still young and have only just joined the Nine Soldiers, my position is not yet stable, and my future long-term location might not even be in Junzhou.

Although ’Thunderclap Sword Escape’ makes flying easy, if I were to buy property here, coming and going later might be inconvenient!"

Cui Baiyu, truly favored by Cloud Lord, was a promising newcomer who once made a bet with Wang Yuan.

Even bombarded by ’Tongue Blossoms’, he did not lose his clarity of mind but asked a very realistic question with a troubled look on his face.

Slap!

Wang Yuan slapped his thigh, far from annoyed but rather delighted as if he had just received the perfect set-up to a joke:

"What a good question!

Transportation issues are, of course, one of the key elements in choosing a property.

But, there’s absolutely no need to worry about that.

I have the Thirty-Six Gateways of the Deceit Market, with Junzhou, lying right in the center of Red County Shenzhou, as the hub, covering an instant transport area within a three thousand li radius!"

With a snap of his fingers, a majestic gateway resembling an archway thunderously opened behind them.

The gateway was fifteen feet tall with golden tiles and vermilion doors, adorned with strings of mottled copper bells.

The huge vermilion-painted doors were embedded with iron characters on the left spelling "Justice" and on the right "Soaring to the Heavens."

Over the door frame hung a signboard with the words "No Deceiving Old or Young" — a new gateway added after the upgrade of the "Cloud Tower Ghost Market."

Whoosh—!

Lady Peach Fairy, turning into a fragrant breeze in a light robe, leaped out from within Wang Yuan.

After curtseying gracefully to Cui Baiyu, she stepped lightly through the gateway, returning in just a few breaths.

In her delicate hands now lay a bunch of loquats, fresh from the trees in the southern part of Great Yan.

Wang Yuan calmly took them and smilingly passed them to an astonished Cui Baiyu.

"Lady Immortal just went to a land a thousand li away and picked these from the tree. Try them, how do they taste?

Moreover, my Beimang Mountain Blessed Land has not only opened a convenient passage for all the owners but also offers a benefit stronger than any other Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Have you heard about the Nine Soldiers including a Ninth Division beyond the Eight Immortal Officials named Yin Department Ghost God?"

"Are you talking about that position which, once combined with a Divine Position, allows us living people to also forge a Merit Golden Wheel, immune to Dragon Energy corrosion?

Staying long in Mang Mountain truly enhances compatibility with the Yin Department’s Divine Positions?"

Cui Baiyu, no longer able to remain composed, grabbed Wang Yuan’s wrist urgently asking.

The value of real estate isn’t just in that space or those building materials.

It lies more in the location, positioning, circles... and other comprehensive elements that add value.

The Beimang Mountain Blessed Land has three core competitive advantages, also known as the Beimang Three Excellences.

First, the essence of the Blessed Land.

Ranked among the seventy-two Blessed Lands, it provides first-rate cultivation assistance and produces specialty goods only available from Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.

Throughout Red County Shenzhou, there are only thirty-six Grotto Heavens and seventy-two Blessed Lands.

Second, the capability to instantly transport within three thousand li, coupled with convenient consumption.

The main body of the ’Deceit Market’ will be situated here, allowing delivery of specialties from locations within a three thousand li range through the thirty-six gateways without leaving home.

Naturally, it also means one can embark on a spontaneous trip.

The third, and most competitive point: advancement channels!

Previously, when Wang Yuan was returning to the Nine Soldiers.

Great Fate not only greatly appreciated Wang Yuan’s ability to stir trouble.

He also specifically discussed the matter of formally starting the ninth division of ’Immortal Officials’ — the ’Yin Department Hierarchy’ (Chapter 287).

Trying to let other members also hold positions as Yin Department Ghost Gods.

Not to mention anything else, just condensing ’Yin Morality’ into a ’Merit Golden Wheel’ and then achieving the ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ state.

This would enable the ’Immortal Officials’ to act in the mortal world immune to Dragon Energy damage, gaining numerous conveniences - almost a qualitative strategic transformation for the Nine Soldiers!

However, taking on the position of Yin Department Ghost God also relies on compatibility; it’s not something any Tom, Dick, or Harry could just pick up.

And where else in the world, except the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land which has been subdued by the Three Vultures Power Technique for more than two hundred years and personally supervised by King Yama, could better aid them in comprehending the Ghost Path?

Gaining the position of Yin Department Ghost God represents what?

You can go places others can’t, dodge threats others cannot dodge.

With better adaptability, stronger endurance, becoming a versatile, all-weather, all-round model worker!

It’s truly a fast track for climbing up!

"Thinking about it, how many in the world can achieve immortality and become a Purple Seal Immortal?

Choosing where to establish one’s Cave Mansion doesn’t just determine the current quality of life, cultivation speed, but also affects the future of one’s descendants!

Moreover, signing a Dharma Contract today also comes with a first-time gift and priority in selecting a Cave Mansion!"

This ’Tongue Blossoms’ technique was originally prepared by Wang Yuan for the two bickering sects to execute the ’Offshore Balance Technique’, but it’s just as brilliant when used in real estate sales.

The already attractive Beimang Three Excellences, coupled with his Tongue Blossoms.

In just a few words, he had Cui Baiyu’s emotions surging, increasingly excited, as if invigorated, he eagerly grabbed Wang Yuan:

"Where’s the Dharma Contract? Sign! Sign it now!"

Ding!

As a golden light shone, both men, smiling broadly, felt they had landed a great deal.

Wang Yuan let out a deep sigh of relief.

Every one of the Nine Soldiers’ ’Immortal Officials’, regardless of their personalities, could at least be called ’good people’.

A threshold of one hundred thousand ’Yin Morality’ had always been the entry ticket to the Nine Soldiers, surviving the selection process while accumulating one hundred thousand ’Yin Morality’ proved that their quality, abilities, and schemes were among the elite of Cultivators.

Wang Yuan wanted a group of Taoist friends who could rely on each other for at least the next few decades, who could also be considered partners in wealth, companionship, law, and territory.

He naturally had no plans to deceive them.

Moreover, Boss Wang was not short of money now, and he was not interested in money at all.

What he lacked now was nothing more than the merit points needed to hire "Green Seal Sage·Emperor Bao Sheng" to secure the second Blessed Land, "Dushuo Mountain."

Therefore,

before Wang Yuan prepared to implement the plan, he had already checked the internal "reverse contract" rates set by the various "Corpse Dissection Immortals" in the "Merit Examination Hall."

That number, well... let’s just say even Boss Wang would cry when he saw it.

In fact, Wang Yuan had already anticipated this; in the Underworld Yin Department led by the local Heavenly Dao, the "Yin Officials" and the Yin Department had always been splitting the accounts twenty-eighty (Chapter 225).

The "Nine Soldiers" of the same camp naturally had to tighten their belts and were equally severe in their scrollings.

Although Boss Wang still felt he was ruthless, he was still a tad whiter compared to "Great Fate," "Cloud Lord," and others.

In the end, the payment method chosen by Cui Baiyu was:

A property priced at five hundred thousand, with a down payment of twenty thousand (internal staff price), and an annual interest rate of five percent, the basic repayment amount was thirty percent of the monthly income.

The longest term was two hundred years, with the option for early repayment until it was fully paid.

If an accidental death occurred, one could choose to continue repaying in the Underworld or designate descendants to repay, without affecting the pre-determined ownership of the property.

However, after signing the "Dharma Contract," as the blood in his brain slowly returned and he calmed down, Cui Baiyu suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"Um, Taibai, I have a question and I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to ask it now?"

Today, having made the first deal, Boss Wang was in a good mood and was especially cordial toward the "chives" that had taken root in his land:

"Go ahead!"

Cui Baiyu, whose latter half of life was tied here, looked around the empty Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, gestured four square with his hands, and cautiously probed:

"It seems what we traded was... a Cave Mansion, right?

But why haven’t I seen even a single brick?"

Wang Yuan was well prepared and laughed:

"I knew you would ask that, come, see what this is?"

With that, he hung an extremely bright red... "real estate flower" around his neck.

"Congratulations to Immortal Official Cui Baiyu on becoming a distinguished owner of Beimang Mountain Blessed Land!"

Immediately,

a flurry of fresh peach blossoms fell, and under the leadership of Lady Peach Fairy and Xing’er, a group of beautiful female ghosts from "Wangren Town" applauded Cui Baiyu in unison.

Clap! Clap! Clap!...

This place was not just an empty land, but rather a utopia that we were about to build together!

Wang Yuan, holding the hand of his new associate, earnestly and forcefully said:

"Alright, according to the Dharma Contract, having accepted the internal staff price, you are now our business personnel, ah no, a Special Appointed Property Consultant!

The relatives and friends of the "Thunder Department" are all waiting for you to bring them warmth, quickly get into the role!

Your commission is all right here."

With that, he produced two golden beans in his hand; in his palm, the light of the "Righteous Thunder Law" flickered, and the golden beans were instantly melted into a dazzling chest badge.

Engraved with: Special Appointed Property Consultant [Punishment Evil Thunder God] Cui Baiyu, brilliant enough to blind people’s eyes.

He then properly placed it on his left chest.

The level was instantly elevated.

Old Master Wang was clearly experienced in doing this.

Watching the back of Cui Baiyu being led away by the female ghosts from "Wangren Town,"

Wang Yuan stroked his chin and muttered to himself:

"A perfect start! It seems that keeping the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land should not be a problem now.

Speaking of which, once we’ve accumulated enough merit to take down the Dushuo Mountain land that suppresses the "Earth Gate," what attractive selling point should we think of for the next launch?"

Just then, Lady Peach Fairy, standing behind him, softly said:

"Why not organize the owners for... a one-day tour of the Underworld?

Contact the Cao Gang under old sir in advance, starting with the San Tu River ferries, Red Spider Lily souvenirs, free Meng Po Soup, fishing at Naihe Bridge... guaranteed to be fresh and thrilling.

It would be perfect for when they receive the Divine Positions of the immortals of the Underworld, just as they’re worrying about where to practice.

It would be best to hang up a banner at the door of the Ghost Gate of the "Earth Gate," expressing our enthusiasm, just write: Warmly welcoming all owners home!"

Wang Yuan suddenly had a moment of clarity.

He approvingly patted Lady Peach Fairy’s delicate shoulder and sincerely praised:

"It had to be you, Manager Tao!"

...

Just as Wang Yuan was busy preparing for the official launch,

The "Plague Dao" practice sites in Junzhou also received a message from the Mountain Taoist at the same time.

"[Yellow-Skinned Dharma King] suddenly died, plans have changed.

Order: [Earth Essence] Realm Disciples to gather the ’Plague Treasure’ and rush to Beimang Mountain to re-establish the ’Plague Formation.’

At all costs, take this opportunity to eradicate our arch-enemy ’Nine Aspects Corpse God Dao’ within the formation, and seize Beimang Mountain Blessed Land!"

Plague Treasure: Plague Umbrella, Plague Seal, Plague Slashing Sword, Plague Stabilization Banner.

The "Plague Formation," comprising the Plague Treasure, was even more powerful than the [Yellow-Skinned Dharma King], despite lacking free strongmen support!

Branches of the "Nine Aspects Corpse God Dao" faction, "Skull Temple," "Blood River Temple," and "Netherworld Square," naturally also reacted swiftly.

In an instant, the sky above Beimang Mountain was filled with gathering clouds, heralding a storm!
