Chapter 350: Chapter 347 Heluo Cycle, Constructing the Sealing Boundary

The night grew denser.

It was a stark contrast to the bloody slaughter of the sect’s internal battle taking place at Bird Beak Slope.

Just on the other side of a boundary membrane within the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, lanterns were bright, laughter was abundant, forming a lively scene of flowers in bloom and drums thundering to the skies.

The only imperfection was that the musicians tasked with playing music were also from Grandma’s Wangren Town.

This group of Wild Ghosts, who had spent their lifetimes playing the suona, were performing the very festive "Joyful."

But to the ears of the bystanders, it strangely carried a whiff of the "Great Funeral" tune that lingered persistently, chilling to the bone.

However, matching this music with Manager Tao clad in a light green silk dress, as if a lady from a painting, was indeed quite fitting.

Standing before a group of Yellow Seal [Thunder God] who could scorch a Fierce Ghost with just a glare, this female ghost, whose status improved with Wang Yuan’s growing Taoist ability, was not at all intimidated.

"I’m sure many friends here are looking for the perfect dwelling, a lifelong cave mansion, and today... it has arrived!"

With a gentle wave of her hand, a red cloth fluttered down from the construction planning chart standing on the edge of the construction site.

Revealing the grand planning blueprint within the Blessed Land.

"This is the long-anticipated Beimang Mountain Immortal Cave Mansion project. Don’t ask me about the initial price, because it will be priceless in the future!"

"It covers an area of a fifty-mile radius and ranks high on the Blessed Land list!"

"It borders the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, Luoyang City, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, boasting the best of the mortal world’s prosperity!"

"It backs up against the three-hundred-mile Beimang Mountain; buy a cave mansion and get a grave plot, settling affairs of life and afterlife in one go, relieving high-risk professionals of any worry for the future!"

"..."

A successful sales meeting was no less convincing than Old Master Wang’s own [Tongue Blossoms Aspect], and the Thunder Gods listened with sparkling eyes.

Even the sole female Immortal Official [Golden Essence Green Thought Immortal] found herself tempted.

What’s more, the payment scheme offered by Old Master Wang was much more conscientious than that of the Merit Examination Hall.

Unlike the Dou Department [Great Fate] who had a [Qi Fortune Halo] and easily gained inheritance and treasures merely by stepping outside in her youth, a veritable human socialite.

Occasionally she was even able to help her poor [Immortal Officials] with the likes of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

For those like Thunder Department [Cloud Lord], who were addicted to gambling and always lost, money was perpetually tight.

Naturally, there wasn’t much extra subsidy for his Thunder Gods.

After listening to the pitch, as [Punishment Evil Thunder God] Cui Baiyu said, the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land was indeed both high quality and affordable.

Everyone couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to their good friend [Star Lord Taibai] and compliment him: Noble and righteous!

Even a capricious critter like the Six-Eared Macaque knew to compensate Taibai with a Super Grade [Green Peach] after damaging his reputation.

Without that [Green Peach], there would not have been his current [Three Caves Dharma Body], nor the natural resistance to the No-Life Dao technique.

And he would not have had the businesses currently waiting to be received from Su Guyun’s hands.

In comparison, the damage to reputation didn’t seem like such a big deal.

In the end, he chose to forgive that Old Six, after all.

"After all, I have so many friends; how could a mere whisper of rumor hurt me, Old Master Wang, kind-hearted and a Buddha to thousands?"

With such a precedent set, how could Wang Yuan, a man with delicate thoughts, do worse than that Old Six?

Without directly competing with [Nine Soldiers] for business, he genuinely offered the Thunder Gods quite a few discounts and gifts.

And the exceptional grave plots on Beimang Mountain were among them.

Our principle is to provide one-stop service, making sure the owners can rest easy with peace of mind.

Even if one were to pass away or transfer due to work, there is always a seamless connection to a Yin Residence. Old Master Wang has it all planned.

If there are no descendants to take over the cave mansion, swapping the old for a new Yang Residence and Yin Residence is a simple matter.

"I’ll take one!"

"Count me in for one too!"

"..."

Not long after, the Thunder Gods were adorned with festive red flowers amid the even more fervent sound of the suona.

Then, led by the second-in-command Xing’er, clad in a bright red dance skirt with fox tail and fox ears,

they excitedly visited the "Cloud Tower Ghost Market" that had already started operation within the Blessed Land.

At first glance, it was a three-story building with green bricks and tiles and eaves arching into the sky.

But step inside, and it’s a different universe altogether.

The upgraded [Deceit Market], having absorbed [Inner Scene Heaven and Earth · Falling Pearl Small Realm], not only connected to a main market right on the boundary between Yin and Yang,

but also carved out twelve unique markets each with their regional characteristics.

With Beimang Mountain as the center, spanning across six thousand miles over a three-thousand-mile radius,

east to the countries of Moluo and Tanhuan, north to the five tribes of Naiman, west to the thirty-six countries of Western Regions, south to Qiongzhou in the south of Great Yan, twelve "Cloud Tower Ghost Markets" are scattered strategically among these lands.

Manager Peach Fairy, who was in charge, and the second-in-command Xing’er had already picked quite a few capable generals from Wang Yuan’s Yin Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers.

They were sent to all directions to pioneer new commercial territories for Boss Wang.

And only the cultivators in the sub-markets who proved they had enough capital and channels, earning the golden token of membership, could enter the main market filled with treasures from the four seas.

Residence owners in Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, however, automatically became golden members, free to travel throughout Divine Land.

With such a convenience at hand, even if one were to casually act as a "Trader," there’s no worry about food and clothing in the future, and a group of Thunder Gods all laughed out their teeth with delight.

The one who could achieve the status of Yellow Seal Mage naturally was not lacking in disciples and followers who could be summoned, and even if the mage was not available, it was perfectly fine to find a proxy to manage on their behalf.

Seeing this, they even began to feel an impulsive urge to jointly submit a petition to also bestow Lord Star Taibai with the Divine Position of God of Wealth.

Apart from this, Old Master Wang also introduced a very special overseas procurement service in the Deceit Market.

In the spirit of open and mutually beneficial cooperation, he opened up a purchasing channel through the Weird Great Yan Treasure Ship above the East Sea.

As the number of doors that the Cloud Tower Ghost Market could open at the same time increased, and the distance traversed became longer, the speed of accumulating various resources was getting faster.

Old Master Wang, who was already treated as an honored guest, also received a permanent VIP card issued by the Great Yan Treasure Ship.

As proof of long-term strategic cooperation, just by standing on the seashore one could summon the Great Yan Treasure Ship and purchase various precious treasures lost in history.

Of course, when Old Master Wang feels confident enough to take down this Weirdness.

Whether or not to let the Deceit Market, which has long coveted the Great Yan Treasure Ship, swallow it in one gulp, will entirely depend on his mood.

Precept Taboo Five: The Great Yan Treasure Ship was born from the concept of "Sea Transport Trade." As long as maritime trade exists, it will not disappear.

The treasures on board are not obtained through commerce but are automatically gathered from merchant ships lost at sea from all over the world, transferring their cargo into its own warehouse.

Rather than calling it a treasure ship, it’s more like a "Gathering Treasure Basin" that allows one to become wealthy just by lying down.

A group of Thunder Gods who spend their days either fighting or on their way to fight, where have they ever seen such a thriving trading platform?

Even though Nine Soldiers completely possess the technology and ability for this, they would not use their limited resources on it.

Membership system; precharged value; first-order red envelopes; discount gifts; full reduction promotions; bundled sales; referrals for free orders; if you’re a brother, come chop me...

The various marketing strategies dazzled them and involuntarily made them pull out their purses and give generously.

"Eh, is the black dog blood of a True Qi realm dog demon so cheap here? Give me a jar!"

"Two jars! I also want to consign the Thunderclap Fire Talisman I personally drew here."

"..."

In the upper loft.

Old Man Xu, sitting and drinking tea with the Earth Official Ghost Baby’s avatar, couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly in grief when he saw this scene:

"These rough men from the Thunder Department really have never seen the world.

Just for a Blessed Land Cave Mansion ranked seventieth and a Deceit Market accessible from everywhere, they get so turned around?

Can’t everyone learn from me, to be a bit more reserved; after all, I’m still an Immortal Official of some caliber."

Wang Yuan looked at the flower badge on his chest and couldn’t help but smirk.

"Heh, truly fragrant! Isn’t your refusal to visit the Deceit Market simply because you’ve already experienced it in Dengzhou Prefecture?"

Clearly, Old Xu was not exempt from worldly temptations.

In the past.

Constrained by the Precept Taboos of the Mountain and Sea Qi Method, to avoid being eroded by Earth Qi and turning into stone, he could not stay in any one place for more than one month at a time.

His life was destined to be a journey, forever on the move.

But the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, coupled with the Deceit Market that connected to every place, perfectly solved his problem.

Amidst bustling strings and smoky vistas, on nights bathed in the moon’s mellow glow, at ease in the peaceful dwelling, I lean on the railing, inviting the breeze, and call for the stars.

In the morning, watch sunrise from the top of Taishan and snack on Taishan baked buns;

At noon, admire Qionghua flowers in Luoyang and savor mutton pao mo;

In the evening, enjoy a drink by the Northern Sea’s aurora; and if hunger strikes at midnight, head out to Cheshi Country in the Western Regions for flatbread and roasted lamb...

Couldn’t this life be more marvelous?

Wandering from the south to the northern seas, any Earth Qi clinging to my body would completely disperse.

"All right, to work!"

Having savored the best quality of this year’s first batch of spring tea,

Old Xu, the Feng Shui Master, who also held the positions of newly inaugurated advisor for the Beimang Mountain Immortal Cave Mansion project, chief designer, and chief engineer,

Transformed into a streak of light and descended onto a cleared space.

Drawing out the Peach Wood Sword, stepping with Yu’s Step, he shouted loudly:

"Sun and moon, the five planets, the seven stars of Beidou. United with the Heavenly Emperor, command the great mystery! Begin formation!"

Under the control of Wang Yuan’s body, the invisible Qi of the Blessed Land broke the skies and landed on the tip of his sword.

Boom, boom, boom...

In the next moment, among the continuous mountains, countless stone Cave Mansions in their crude form rapidly took shape, stretching across the landscape and aligning with the Heavenly River.

They were actually building a Heluo Cycle Array on the premises of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures offered by Immortal Officials, the Blessed Land itself, and the Human Qi-abundant Luoyang City.

Not only would it harmonize the Qi of heaven, earth, and humanity and in turn refine the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land,

But it would also set up Old Master Wang’s Sealing Boundary before the two Sects could determine a victor, making any attempts to gain entrance from outside futile.

Even more outrageous was

The power driving this array came precisely from the transaction tax extracted by the Owl God Snatching Food Array.

The more fiercely those two Sects with birdbrains fight at Bird Beak Slope, the quicker the construction progress within Beimang Mountain Blessed Land!

This is the true essence of crowdfunding.
