"This is easy to handle!" Zhongxuan Sheng had an idea the moment he heard it, "Aside from the Tai Xu Corner Tower, the rest of the places should all be built for enjoyment. The Taixu Illusion Realm is a place for cultivation, and entering the Tai Xu Corner Tower means striving and enduring hardship. How tiring is that hardship? Before and after undergoing such hardship, one needs to relax. We’ll let them relax, let them enjoy themselves, build casinos, construct brothels!

Casinos are simple; as long as they can be kept under control, that’s good. You’ve made connections with Lv Zongxiao, so there’s no problem in Heavenly Mansion City! A brothel is a business that needs talent, we could collaborate with others. The four famous venues won’t do; they’re too high-class and complicated behind the scenes. Right, Sanfen Xiangqi Tower. We’ll partner with them!"

He went on without pausing, incessantly, "Let them build a part of the tower, provide the manpower, the effort, the girls, and we just sit back and collect the dividends..."

"Wait a second, why would they want to partner with you?" Jiang Wang asked, "The Tai Xu Corner Tower can indeed attract many rich cultivators, but Sanfen Xiangqi Tower can simply open a place outside of our twenty-acre land. If people want to go, they’ll still go, right? If you just randomly build a brothel, will you be able to compete with them?"

Zhongxuan Sheng rolled his eyes, not very noticeably, "Isn’t the Tai Xu Corner Tower yours? You really are thick-headed, can’t even come up with a simple excuse? If they don’t collaborate with us and build their own brothel, we’ll introduce a new rule, such as those who visited brothels within three days cannot enter the Taixu Illusion Realm, no quotas for them. As for the reason, cultivation needs one to be spiritually and energetically whole, isn’t that enough? Once we implement this rule, see if they’ll have any business! Why come to Heavenly Mansion City then?"

Jiang Wang: ...

"Surrounding facilities are just minor details. Let’s talk about this Tai Xu Corner Tower, we will build it with nine floors. Each floor will have its own standards. The first floor, everyone is in one room, sitting on meditation mats. The second floor, a few comfortable large chairs. The third floor, soft couches! The fourth floor..."

Jiang Wang quickly interrupted, "The structure of the Tai Xu Corner Tower has to strictly follow the blueprint. There are only five floors in total, and both the topmost and the bottom floors are arrays, with only the three middle floors available for people, and one Tai Xu Corner Tower can only provide ninety-nine entries into the Taixu Illusion Realm at the same time."

"No problem!"

Zhongxuan Sheng was calm and collected, "The second floor, provide seventy meditation mats, everyone enters to meditate. What place is the Taixu Illusion Realm? This is where you trained!

The number one Teng Long, the top-ranked Inner Mansion from Near Sea, imagine how powerful the effects are! Such an excellent place, the only one in Qi Country, charging ten Dao Yuan Stones per hour, isn’t that reasonable?

The third floor, get skilled craftsmen to partition out twenty elegant booths, serving the best melons, fruits, and desserts, all provided for free. One Prime Stone per hour, is that too much?

The fourth floor, design nine luxurious rooms, offer the highest level of indulgence, burning incense and playing with jade, delicacies from land and sea, you must have a certain status just to enter, charging us only ten Prime Stones per hour, isn’t that exceeding value?

Calculate it, how much can we earn in one hour after we open?"

Jiang Wang’s thoughts raced, seven hundred Dao Yuan Stones plus twenty Prime Stones plus ninety Prime Stones... no need to calculate.

"Sheng, brother, I’ve always been confident in you!" He clapped the armrest, ready to leave, "I’m going to cultivate, leaving this matter entirely in your hands!!"

Goodness, over a Prime Stone in profit in just one hour. Plus, since the Tai Xu Corner Tower relies purely on the Taixu Illusion Realm, once it’s constructed there’s no need to manage it, and the Taixu Illusion Realm runs continuously for 24 hours...

He could already feel the happiness. What wouldn’t An’an be able to eat in the future? From every corner of the earth, anything he wants, anything he eats!

"Hehe." Zhongxuan Sheng leaned back in the chair and suddenly let out a cold laugh, "I have two big pieces of news here, don’t you want to hear them?"

Jiang Wang, completely unaware, retorted cheerfully, "What big news, tell me!"

Zhongxuan Sheng looked at him and said, "The first, I have returned the management rights of Chongjia Island to the Tian family without compensation. And your friend called Tian Chang, just yesterday, has reclaimed Chongjia Island under the flag of Tian Anping."

Jiang Wang paused, "The Major Sects are that easy to talk?"

"The ten-year period is about to expire, and Tian Anping will be able to break the ban next year. No one knows what his strength will be then. No one dares to bet on what he will do. Gu Huaixin certainly wouldn’t be afraid, but the Major Sects couldn’t afford not to be. And with Bajiao Island reclaiming its rights, it’s rightful and justified. If a dispute arises, Gu Huaixin can’t sustain it openly." Zhongxuan Sheng sneered, "Would the Major Sects dare to stand against Tian Anping?"

"Although it’s mainly because the rights belong to Bajiao Island and they don’t have much room to maneuver. But the Major Sects didn’t hold back against the Zhong Xuan Family back then," said Jiang Wang, shaking his head with a sigh, "Indeed, the arrogant are afraid of the stubborn, and the stubborn are afraid of the crazy."

Zhongxuan Sheng said half-heartedly, "You don’t seem to feel sorry for me at all."

"You, who plucks every goose passing, and doesn’t leave any stone unturned in search of gain, could suffer a loss?" Jiang Wang grimaced, "Now I’m only worried about my friend Tian Chang, whether he’s already had his last meal without a next."

Pfft.

Unable to hold back any longer, Shisi eventually laughed out loud.

Zhongxuan Sheng gave her a blaming glance, reproaching her for ruining the atmosphere he was trying to create.

With a questioning look, he asked, "Don’t you know how many Dao Yuan Stones the Jiang family owes our family?"

Feeling guilty, Shisi closed her eyes and pretended to be a statue.

"Or should I go cultivate first?" Jiang Wang looked at them exchanging glances, feeling extremely uncomfortable, "I feel like I’m quite the disturbance here."

Shisi kept quiet and did not open her eyes; beneath her face armor, no one could see her blushing.

Zhongxuan Sheng, unfazed by such a trifle, changed the topic seamlessly, "Gu Huaixin has taken a new disciple!"

Although taking a disciple was not a significant matter, Jiang Wang did not dismiss it since Zhongxuan Sheng mentioned it so formally, which meant it was surely no small affair.

"Is the talent very strong?" he asked.

Zhongxuan Sheng slowly said, "Since Gu Huaixin is willing to take on a disciple at this time, the talent must be no less than that of Ji Shaoqing. Otherwise, it would be meaningless."

"Whether they can be stronger than Ji Shaoqing, that’s something you’d have to ask me to know."

Jiang Wang smiled confidently, but then a figure flashed through his mind, and he couldn’t maintain his smile, asking tentatively, "What is this person’s name?"

"Zhu Bijing," Zhongxuan Sheng answered casually.

During his free moments, Jiang Wang indeed considered what Zhu Bijing would face if she returned to Diao Hai Building.

As a Major Sect of the world, Diao Hai Building had its own honor and persistence. Zhu Bijing, harmless to others and always spotless, would not be openly mistreated by Diao Hai Building at least.

But some hidden hostility could not be erased—it stemmed from the death of Ji Shaoqing because of Jiang Wang.

Although Zhu Bijing was innocent, hostility and hatred don’t always follow reason.

He thought about how he would face those if he were Zhu Bijing.

His final answer was silence.

Because he was not someone who cared about those gazes. He had his own path to follow, knew how to walk it, and would not let anyone change it.

But now he had to admit that if he could take Gu Huaixin as a teacher, then none of those would be a problem.

Who else could be more qualified than Gu Huaixin to bear grudges?

If Gu Huaixin himself has let go, who else had a reason to persist?

Jiang Wang’s feelings were complex, but in the end, he only said, "She must have thought it through thoroughly before making her choice. There’s nothing wrong with that."

"You shouldn’t have let her go," Zhongxuan Sheng said.

Jiang Wang did not look at him, "She’s not my prisoner, how could I not let her go?"

Zhongxuan Sheng, somewhat disappointed, said, "If one day Gu Huaixin asks her to take revenge for her fellow disciples, what do you think she will do?"

"Firstly, a True Man would not be so foolish. Secondly, I trust Zhu Bijing."

Having said that, Jiang Wang got up, "I won’t disturb you any longer, I am going to cultivate."
