After working for both the righteous and demonic factions, I became a big shot.

When Fairy Lanyue broke through, Yin Laomo had already sensed it.

His expression at that moment was more painful than if he had been slapped by a dog.

Who knows? They had clearly made a plan to openly rob Qinglong Market, but before they could even make a move, someone else came looking for them.

Seeing the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators within the Xuan Yin Market, Fairy Lan Yue shouted, "Good! You two Nascent Soul stage cultivators are here, why aren't you helping us!"

"Have you forgotten that we in the demonic path are supposed to help each other?"

"You just wait, I'm going to report you to the league right now!"

After speaking, Fairy Lanyue threw out a memory ball.

She hasn't learned anything else these past few days, but she has learned how to climb to great heights from her apprentice.

Regardless, the Demonic Alliance exists in name only, and there are treaties for mutual assistance among members of the Demonic Path, although everyone treats it as a mere formality.

But if there is real evidence to support this claim, they could be in serious trouble.

Moreover, the youngest cultivator in the Void Refinement stage of the demonic path had evidence of the image sphere used to report it.

Upon hearing this, Yin Laomo first considered Lan Yue Xianzi's words in his mind, and then a great doubt appeared in his aged eyes.

No, you can play it like this?

"Wait, fairy!"

Yin Laomo decisively flew out; no matter what, he couldn't let the other party use the evidence to file a lawsuit.

Everything has its weight, especially when they are at their peak strength; they are guaranteed to lose this lawsuit.

"Um?"

"I was in the Nascent Soul stage and you called me Fellow Daoist, what do you call me now?" Fairy Lan Yue, now at the Void Refinement stage, unleashed her full power, pressing down on Yin Laomo so much that he couldn't breathe.

Yes, the difference between a Void Refinement stage cultivator and a Divine Transformation stage cultivator may seem to be only one major level, but in reality, they are worlds apart. She can now defeat ten Yin Laomos at once!

"Senior Lan Yue..." Yin Laomo lowered his head. Even though he was unwilling, he had to accept it.

"Please don't take this small matter to the Alliance. My Yin Yue Sect is willing to make compensation."

The Moon Fairy smiled: "Oh, really? What kind of compensation?"

Yin Laomo gritted his teeth: "My Xuan Yin Market is willing to offer the profits of the next three years to compensate Gui Feng."

The Moon-Gazing Fairy didn't respond, but instead stated her conditions: "The Xuan Yin Market will be merged into the Azure Dragon Market, and you will also compensate me with an additional 100,000 spirit stones for my mental distress."

This was taught to her by her apprentice: first ask for an exorbitant price, then wait for the other party to bargain.

"That's too much, senior. Merging Xuan Yin Market into Qing Long Market is no problem, but we don't have 100,000 spirit stones." Yin Laomo acted as if he had no money.

The Moon-Gazing Fairy wasn't annoyed: "Eighty thousand spirit stones, or I'll file a complaint with the Alliance, accusing you of colluding with the righteous path and destroying my Azure Dragon Market!"

"Don't say you don't have any. If you didn't, how come your Yin Yue Sect has two Nascent Soul stage experts? Aren't you just trying to cripple us with our strength and then reap the rewards?"

"Wasn't this something we predicted in advance?"

Good heavens, Yin Laomo never expected that Lan Yue Fairy would become so sharp-tongued. He can't very well say that the two of them came here to coerce them into submission.

"Fine, eighty thousand spirit stones it is. Pay in full in three days and take over the Xuan Yin Market."

He was really afraid that if this matter got out, even if he couldn't be accused of colluding with the righteous path, it would still have a negative impact on the sect.

Who knows why the Yuqing Dao Sect attacked the other side again tonight? It's like the Yinyue Sect really colluded with the other side, attacking us first and then attacking the other side so we could reap the benefits.

Although Fairy Lanyue was overjoyed, she kept her composure and maintained a calm demeanor on her aloof face.

"I will be here during this period. If you try anything funny..."

After saying this, the Moon-Embracing Fairy raised her hand and reached out to grab at the sky.

Yin Laomo felt as if his heart had been ripped out, and cracks appeared in the sky above his head.

The space here has been somewhat shattered by the Moon-Embracing Fairy!

This early stage of Void Refinement is too strong!

Was her overcoming of inner demons really that perfect?

Yin Laomo bowed down again, this time daring not to utter a sound.

........

Over the next ten days or so, Qinglongfang City entered a phase of rapid development, working with great enthusiasm.

Besides securing the land and building houses directly from Qinglong Market to Xuanyin Market, thus creating a super market, other construction projects were also in full swing.

For example, establishing corresponding rules and regulations, setting up a sound law enforcement team, and formulating emergency plans and tax systems.

For example, Shen An also set up several large official pavilions, which integrated functions such as auctions, sales of local specialties, and reception of independent cultivators, becoming a gathering place for large shopping malls.

Now, after merging with Xuan Yin Market, Qinglong Market is already one of the largest in terms of area and population. In addition, with independent cultivators and shops coming from far and wide, it will become even more prosperous in the future.

After all, who wouldn't want to live in a place with the protection of cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, a stable order, and low taxes?

Moreover, the items here are guaranteed authentic, backed by major sects, and there are also unusual auctions and the occasional appearance of Jade Purity Daoist elixirs...

In this era of rampant commercialism, any one of these items would be enough to draw people in, let alone so many of them gathered together.

It took Shen An a month to sort out all the affairs of Qinglongfang Market and set out the rules.

Then came the convening of the first Qinglongfang City Board of Directors.

"From today onwards, Master will be the Chairman of the Board, I will be the General Manager, and my five fellow disciples will be the Department Managers."

"Each person will receive a base salary and profit sharing in Qinglongfang City, depending on their position."

"Furthermore, one-tenth of the annual profits from Qinglong Market will be handed over to the sect, and twenty percent will be distributed as dividends to the disciples of Lanyue Peak. This is a customary practice and cannot be changed!"

"Now the first meeting is officially convened, and we will discuss two things: rules and profit distribution."

As Shen An finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a mountain of spirit stones appeared on the table!

The most conspicuous pile on the left is high-grade spirit stones, lustrous and translucent, radiating spiritual energy; the piles on the right are mid-grade and low-grade.

Fairy Lanyue sat in the main seat, her hands resting on the table, looking at the spirit stones with great interest. In all her years, this was the first time she had ever waited for "money" like this.

She only needs to occasionally demonstrate her skills to get the biggest share; her apprentice is really good to her.

Five senior brothers and sisters at the Golden Core stage sat on either side, each with a different expression:

Sikong Ying held the Blood Blade with an expressionless face, but his eyes would occasionally glance at the pile of spirit stones.

Hou Yifang was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands. After all, he had not only survived the crisis, but also received such a wonderful job. From now on, he would be his junior brother's dog!

Xue Linglong tried her best to maintain her composure, but she still felt like she was dreaming.

Mo Ya and Mo Xiaoxiao sat on the far side, exchanging glances, their eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.

Fortunately, their junior brother gave them a chance in the end, and fortunately, the two of them stopped putting on airs and were ordered to claim land and lay the foundation. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been qualified to sit at this table.

Shen Anqing cleared his throat, picked up the booklet in his hand, and said, "Dear senior brothers and sisters, you have all worked hard this past month. Let me first talk about the job requirements."

"Master, your duties are simple: make decisions on major matters, represent the market to the outside world, and provide high-level military protection. However, you do not participate in daily management, but the final approval authority for the year belongs to you."

The Moon-Embracing Fairy nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the title of "Chairman." Her disciple really knew how to play; everything was new and interesting, and she liked it very much.

"As for me, I will first serve as the general manager of Qinglongfang City, responsible for daily operations, external investment promotion, personnel appointments and dismissals, financial approvals, and planning of major events. I can handle matters within my authority independently, and matters exceeding my authority will be submitted to the chairman for approval."

The others had no objections. They didn't understand this system either, and the current situation was all set up by their junior brother. No one else could figure it out.

"Senior Brother Sikong, appointed as the manager of the Enforcement Department, his responsibilities are..."

Sikong Ying is in charge of law enforcement, Hou Yifang is in charge of logistics, Xue Linglong is in charge of finance, Mo Ya is in charge of operations, and Mo Xiaoxiao is in charge of external liaison.

Shen An made the arrangements for the group after discussing them with Fairy Lan Yue, but whether the group could adapt was another matter, and they would have to deal with it later.

"Now, let's begin our first profit distribution!"

After Shen An finished speaking, everyone's breathing became heavier.
