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

Fortunately, the battle didn't last long and ended again.

A few days later, Lu Changfeng was having breakfast at a breakfast shop. He was almost finished when the sound of several customers chatting at the next table caught his attention.

"Hiss! Did you hear? Young Master Lei is fighting with that Ye Tian again!"

"No way, they're fighting again?"

"Hey, you don't know this, do you? My friend's relative's neighbor's kid is an inner disciple. I heard that Ye Tian was almost killed by Lei Shao back then, but luckily he successfully awakened his special phenomenon and survived. Do you think he wouldn't seek revenge?"

"Good heavens, this certainly deserves retaliation, but isn't the Lei family a Golden Core family? Are we just going to let this Ye Tian do as he pleases?"

"How would I know? But this Young Master Lei is stubborn. He clearly has so many good things at home, but he insists on going out to find spiritual objects himself, and that's how they ended up fighting!"

"Good grief, we'd better stay hidden! We can't afford to fight in the city, or we're really doomed!"

……

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng slowed down his breakfast.

Since news spread that spiritual objects would be born around the world after the great changes in the heavens and earth, and since many of these spiritual objects have extremely good effects and can even strengthen one's own foundation, many forces are now acquiring them.

But why would anyone sell you all these good things instead of eating them themselves? Wouldn't it be better to build your own empire by increasing your strength?

Many geniuses who had condensed extraordinary phenomena had obviously realized this, so they also abandoned their seclusion and began to train and search for treasure at the same time.

As for the safety issues discussed by those around us, there is absolutely no need to worry about that, because Tianxing City is right under the feet of Tianxing Sect. Even if some geniuses were to fight in the city, a Golden Core stage inner sect elder would appear in less than three seconds, just like when Ye Tianjing awakened the strange phenomenon at the bottom of the well before.

So, although there were many battles among the surrounding prodigies in the following months, it was still quite safe in Tianxing City, which made the people living in the city breathe a sigh of relief.

But because of this, there were many more people joining sects and moving into Tianxing City. Basically, people were moving from morning till night in the surrounding blocks.

Even Li Mingfei's mother was arranged by King Jin to stay in a building not far from Luoyun Shopping Mall.

She told us that the cultivators and worshippers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had gone completely mad. They no longer cared about the Prince of Jin or the Emperor; they only cared about their own cultivation. So they went out to search for spiritual objects, and the Emperor and the others did not dare to stop them.

So now the entire Great Zhou is like a powder keg about to explode; it will burst open at the slightest spark.

Amidst this chaos, August arrived quickly.

Early in the morning, Lu Changfeng, who was enjoying some melon seeds, was suddenly notified that there was a meeting.

He didn't think much of it at first, since Luoyun Shopping Mall holds several meetings every month, all with leaders, so he just needed to find a place to hide and then continue to slack off in the office after the meeting.

However, when he arrived at the meeting place, he was immediately dumbfounded. This time, the meeting was not only for the management team, but also for all the employees.

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng knew that this matter was definitely not trivial.

Soon, Su Ziyuan slowly walked onto the stage, looked around, and waited for the audience to quiet down before speaking.

"Dear employees, I've gathered you all here today to announce something!"

"Because our shopping mall has developed exceptionally well after the renovations, headquarters expressed their appreciation to all our employees after learning about it!"

"Therefore, we are giving each employee a special reward of one hundred low-grade spirit stones!"

Pfft!

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng immediately spat out his drink, and then began to complain.

"Wow, these people at headquarters are really generous! They actually gave away a hundred spirit stones!"

After he said that, the people in the operations department next to him nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, it's supposed to be headquarters, but they only gave us a hundred low-grade spirit stones. That's really stingy. In my opinion, the shopkeeper would have given us a better deal!"

Logically speaking, even when Su Ziyuan pays double wages, the extra 100 spirit stones aren't always guaranteed. However, Su Ziyuan occasionally promotes her employees' levels.

It's obvious to everyone whether a mere hundred spirit stones or a salary increase is more beneficial.

So as soon as Su Ziyuan finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in chaos.

Seeing this, Su Ziyuan's lips curled up in a wide smile; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Because our mall's restructuring has been quite successful, someone from headquarters will be coming to visit and learn from us in about a month."

"Since the exact time is uncertain, everyone must present the best possible image of our mall!"

"Once the mall successfully upgrades, everyone will get a raise!"

Ohhhhh!

Everyone was initially quite dissatisfied with the people from headquarters, but they were overjoyed upon hearing Su Ziyuan's assurance.

Although I don't like headquarters, a raise is a good thing!

So, after the all-staff meeting ended, everyone returned to their respective posts and started working, while Lu Changfeng was called to Su Ziyuan's office.

He was also greatly shocked when he heard the news.

Even when problems arose before, it was the second manager who communicated with him. This was the first time he had met Su Ziyuan face-to-face alone.

Upon seeing Lu Changfeng enter, Su Ziyuan gestured for him to sit down before asking,

"Lu Changfeng, I've actually been curious about you for a long time!"

"Whether it's changing the way the mall sells non-spiritual supplies, or any of the suggestions you gave, I've actually seen them all!"

"Although Qingzhu says you're a lazy person who likes to slack off, I don't care. As long as you're capable, you can help me!"

"But I'm curious, how did you come up with this seemingly unusual but incredibly useful idea?"

Lu Changfeng couldn't help but exclaim, "Good heavens!"

Wasn't the plan to call them in for a talk? Why are they unleashing their ultimate move right away?

But this kind of problem is nothing to him.

"As for how I came up with this idea, I have no idea!"

"Maybe it's because I like to think when I'm slacking off, and the more I think, the more unexpected ideas I occasionally come up with!"

Su Ziyuan showed no expression on her face in response to this answer.

"You know what happened at the previous all-staff meeting, so this inspection will mainly focus on the first floor. What are your plans?"

Speaking of this, Lu Changfeng shrugged.

"You don't need to do anything. Since they've come to visit and learn, just present yourself in your most ordinary state!"

"If I'm not mistaken, their purpose in visiting and learning here is to extend the experience gained to other Luoyun Shopping Malls!"

"Only when it succeeds elsewhere will this study tour truly be over, right?"

This inspection isn't a political mission, so I'm sure I'll learn something from it.

The members of the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce are all businessmen, and the biggest characteristic of businessmen is that they want to earn more spirit stones.

If the Luoyun Merchant Guild's business was originally mostly focused on cultivators, then the Luoyun Merchant Guild has now extended its business to mortals.

After all, although it is a world of cultivation, there are far more mortals than cultivators, so this is a huge untapped market, and whoever gets in first can make a lot of money first.
