The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

In the following days, the inn's visitor numbers not only did not decrease, but actually increased significantly.

After all, Tianxing City doesn't have city walls now, and some monsters can break in without any means of defense. Although there is a city guard, many people are still panicked.

That's why they set their sights on Luoyun Inn.

Lu Changfeng naturally wouldn't hold back in this matter. Originally, because the Spirit Testing Conference was approaching in October, and although this year was a prosperous year requiring disciples to be sent out for spiritual root testing, not many people came to Tianxing City.

But he still increased the house price tenfold, and after this incident, he naturally increased it another tenfold.

Good heavens, the price has increased to a hundred times the normal level! Those who were planning to stay for a few days are now in an uproar.

Ten times the price was already outrageous, but a hundred times? You're asking for trouble!

However, Lu Changfeng said that he would not say anything when the rooms were empty and he was losing money, but when the price was raised, he would not complain about the price. In short, it was a matter of taking it or leaving it.

Just kidding, any extra money is all mine.

The end result was that, despite the price being a hundred times higher, many people moved in, but they were all in small rooms on the ground floor, while the top floor remained empty.

However, considering safety issues, Su Qingzhu discussed it with Lu Changfeng and decided that the two of them would take turns keeping watch at night.

Although Lu Changfeng was only at the late stage of Qi Refining, his combat strength was already comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Fortunately, they offered double overtime pay, so Lu Changfeng happily accepted it.

At night, Lu Changfeng squatted by the door, yawning, while Li Mingfei came out of the inn and exhaled a breath of air.

Although it hadn't snowed in Tianxing City in September, it was still a bit chilly at night.

"Brother Lu, come and have something hot!"

As he spoke, he handed over a skewer of golden shark fin. Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng smiled.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

He took the skewers and started eating. I have to say, the taste was just like a crispy sausage, and it was really satisfying to eat.

"How are things going at your place lately?"

Since I'm free anyway, chatting might as well be nice.

"Oh, what could possibly happen to my father? He has over a hundred cultivators under his command right now, but his other concubines are terrified!"

"I heard that many people in their hometown were eaten by monsters!"

"The most crucial thing is that the emperor plans to use this to get back at my father!"

This piqued Lu Changfeng's curiosity.

"Oh ho, didn't you say your family had a good relationship with the emperor? You even got a title of king for someone of a different surname. What happened to you now!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei immediately chimed in.

"Sigh, what else could it be? Suspicion, of course!"

"That damned emperor is a complete waste; a few ministers just stirred things up and he started targeting my father!"

"At times like this, explanations are a waste of time, so my father thought of purging the emperor's inner circle, but unfortunately the dog emperor wouldn't listen."

"The more that dog emperor protects those ministers, the more power my father needs to find ways to get rid of them, and that's how it ended up like this!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng suddenly realized what was going on.

However, whether or not to listen to slander is a big question. But judging from Li Mingfei's father's perspective, he seems to have his own ideas, so it's best not to meddle.

"Hey, it's no big deal. We can just come to Tianxing City."

"We'll have a lot of kids, form a cultivation family, and then wipe out that dog emperor in one fell swoop, making our family royalty!"

"It's never as comfortable as being your own master when you're living under someone else's roof, right?"

Snapped!

Li Mingfei slapped his thigh hard.

"That's right! No matter how powerful that emperor is, he's just an ordinary person. Once our whole family becomes cultivators, we'll take him down in no time!"

His tone then softened.

"But right now, my father is handling things at home, so I, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, can't really say anything!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng looked puzzled.

"What's wrong with that? Why don't you try doing business too?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei couldn't help but look over.

"Doing business can affect my dad? That can't be right, he's not short of money!"

Faced with his question, Lu Changfeng ate a few more bites of the kebab before explaining.

"What's the harm in that?"

"Think about it, your father is now going against the emperor. Winning people over costs money, right? Training his own people costs money, right? And all those people following your father, don't they need salaries?"

"If the emperor doesn't allocate funds, your father's soldiers will probably mutini on the spot!"

"So he's not short of money now, but he definitely will be in the future!"

"You know that psionic furniture company, right? The founder is my buddy. His family didn't approve of him, and he wasn't even as well-off as you!"

"And now, with spirit stones in his hands, his parents' attitude has completely changed!"

"Think about it, his parents are both cultivators and they're like this. If you can achieve something great, do you think your father won't listen to you then?"

Snapped!

Li Mingfei slapped his thigh again.

"Yeah, he wouldn't let me steal money from home to buy a brothel before. When he beat me, my mother even said it was good! He must have me wrapped around his little finger!"

"If I had spirit stones, wouldn't I be able to get them whenever my father needed money?"

"Next time he asks for money, I'll beat him up and call him a spendthrift. Let's see who dares to say anything then!"

"Hehehehe,"

Seeing Li Mingfei's distorted thoughts, Lu Changfeng almost spat out his drink.

This is truly the height of filial piety!

"Ahem, you now have quite a few spirit stones. What kind of business are you planning to start?"

Li Mingfei had just received 330 million spirit stones, a sum that would last him until he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Although he wanted to invest in more businesses, now was clearly not the right time.

"Yeah, what are you doing?"

"Let me think about it!"

Suddenly an idea came to him.

"Brother Lu, I've thought of a business opportunity. What do you think?"

Now it was Lu Changfeng's turn to be curious.

"Sure, tell me what you think!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei immediately shouted excitedly.

"What about brothels? Look at Tianxing City now, it's full of rich people, and they're all wealthy mortals. Although there are brothels in the city, what if those female cultivators in the brothels make a mistake and die on the spot!"

"If we open a brothel full of ordinary people right now, wouldn't we have nothing to worry about?"

Good heavens, he exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

Sure enough, this guy hasn't forgotten about buying a brothel!

But I have to say, this business looks pretty good, at least I feel pretty good about it.

After all, business is about helping people solve certain problems and receiving a reward in return. Clearly, Li Mingfei had found a good angle.

"Sure, I think that's a good point. Even though it won't last long, it's still pretty good!"

"But how did you get these courtesans? Don't forget this is Tianxing City, where ancestors included cultivators. If you try to force them, you might run into a brick wall!"

Li Mingfei's lips curled up in a wide smile at this.

"Hehehe, that's easy to solve. It's dangerous outside. I can just bring them here!"
