My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Baili Jingchen felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this.

The curse finally stopped flashing, as if it had been relieved.

No need to build walls... just building a shop...

It knows how to compromise!

Lin Ye nodded: "West Tower? I'll definitely be there tonight."

"Shopkeeper, besides Brother Baili, I'll also be bringing a few friends: Kun Zhengqing from the Kunpeng Clan, and Xiao Chong, a true disciple of the Divine Sword Pavilion, who usually calls us brothers."

The shopkeeper's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and his smile froze for a moment.

I originally thought that this Young Master Lin was from Demon Emperor Mountain and was at odds with the royal court.

Recently, the situation at home has become unfavorable, making it difficult for him to integrate into the upper echelons of the palace.

Who would have thought he'd be so popular among these rich young men?

Can they invite the Little Peng King of the Kunpeng Clan, and even the true disciples of the Divine Sword Pavilion?

But the fact that he brought all these people along suggests he might be trying to lower the price!

"As long as the business is successful, what difficulty is there in Wanbaolou hosting a hundred or a thousand people? Young friend, just call your friends..."

Lin Ye nodded: "Shopkeeper, you can bring your son with you then, so we can get to know him."

"Alright, alright, I'll take my son out to see the world tonight!"

The shopkeeper's heart couldn't help but race.

I misunderstood Young Master Lin just now...

If I introduce my son to these rich young men, it will be good for him!

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Baili, see you tonight! I'll head back to prepare now!"

"Please take care, senior. There's no need for such a grand ceremony."

After the shopkeeper left.

Baili Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lin Ye with some guilt and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, no matter how you look at it, it's all my fault. I almost ruined your good project."

"Once things are settled tomorrow, I will definitely visit you in person to apologize."

Lin Ye chuckled twice, using the time it took to compose himself before saying, "Fellow Daoist Baili, today's matter was caused by Huang Zhou sowing discord between us as brothers."

"I was planning to tell you this as a funny story when I was drinking with my brothers, but Fellow Daoist Baili, please don't take it so seriously," Lin Ye said seriously.

"Fellow Daoist Baili can treat us another day. I'll treat you next time."

As he spoke, Lin Ye patted Baili Jingchen on the shoulder.

Seeing the sincerity in Lin Ye's words, Baili Jingchen exclaimed, "Good brother! At the gathering, I will definitely use myself as a negative example!"

"...If Fellow Daoist Lin ever encounters trouble, I will give away all my wealth to save you."

This was written by Baili Jingchen in response to his feelings.

Suddenly, this sentence came out.

Lin Ye paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hey, what difficulties could I possibly have!"

Lin Ye felt very happy.

A true master is one who can transform obstacles in interpersonal relationships into deeper friendships.

Our centuries of conversational skills... well, mainly because my friend Baili Dao is quite honest.

.......

Wanbao Tower.

A group of young masters gathered together. Apart from Lin Ye and Baili Jingchen, the rest of them were very relaxed and treated it as an ordinary gathering.

Only Lin Ye knew that the project to be discussed tonight was a big one.

"Everyone," Lin Ye leaned forward slightly, drawing everyone's attention, "when the manager arrives later, we should treat him with the respect due to a senior."

Xiao Peng looked over, puzzled.

"Lin, that manager is only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and in the end, he works for Wanbaolou, right?"

“Ah Kun, it’s like this.” Lin Ye revealed the Desolate Curse and explained, “Think about it, because of this, it’s almost impossible to find a Nascent Soul stage ancestor in the palace.”

"The shopkeeper says he's the owner of the building, but in reality he's the boss himself. If we want to find any rare treasures, we'll still have to rely on him."

Xiao Pengwang suddenly realized: "Lin, what you said makes sense."

Baili Jingchen looked over in surprise.

Wait, when did you two start calling each other so affectionately?!

I was the one who started it...

Chapter 85 Mutual Affection (5k)

Baili Jingchen was anxious, wondering when he could change how he addressed Lin Ye.

At the same time, Lin Ye was calculating the current situation.

Everyone gathered at Wanbaolou.

This is the shopkeeper's territory; how could he not know they were coming?

The shopkeeper hasn't shown up yet; he's probably planning to appear right on time, just as agreed.

However, it was he who wanted to buy Lin Ye's land. As the one asking for help, why did he hold back and not show up immediately? Lin Ye judged that the shopkeeper probably thought that the people at their table were young and wanted to use this matter to see if any of them knew how to handle things.

If no one notices this, the shopkeeper will have to manipulate the bidding again.

In addition, the person with the highest cultivation level at the table was in the late Golden Core stage, while the shopkeeper was in the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Ye had just mentioned the shopkeeper in front of everyone, and he had his own ways of overhearing it.

While outwardly flattering him, Lin Ye also emphasized a message through Xiao Pengwang.

The people at our table are not as accomplished as you, but their family backgrounds and social status are far superior!

Sure enough, after a short while, the manager appeared with a smile: "Gentlemen, you've arrived very early. Are you satisfied with the hospitality at Wanbaolou?"

Xiao Peng Wang waved his hand: "So-so."

But then, remembering what Lin Ye had just said, he casually cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior, nice to meet you."

Everyone greeted them warmly.

Feeling he had the upper hand, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "I have long heard of the names of you gentlemen! Zhiwen and Ziyue, you should learn from your elder brothers."

Behind the shopkeeper, a young male and female cultivator clasped their hands and said, "Greetings, seniors!"

"Hehe, hello you two..."

Lin Ye said, "What were you busy with just now, shopkeeper? I've been waiting for you with great anxiety."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, but he remained calm and said, "I brought you gentlemen a fine wine from the East District branch. It took some effort! Little Chen, where is it?"

Deacon Chen carefully carried out a wine jar. After opening it, everyone was surprised by its unique fragrance.

"Lightning-attribute spirit wine is truly rare."

"This is good stuff!"

The shopkeeper quickly seized the opportunity to sit down at the table next to Baili Jingchen and said, "I'm so sorry for being late."

"As you all may not know, Fellow Daoist Baili and I are old friends."

"Two years ago, or more precisely, in February of the year before last, Fellow Daoist Baili arrived at the palace and couldn't wait to ask me to help him find some rare refining materials! Hahaha!"

Baili Jingchen could only say, "Yes, the shopkeeper and I are old friends."

The shopkeeper's words were nothing more than an implication that Baili Jingchen should repay the favor.

You're mistaken.

How could I possibly help you negotiate a lower price with Fellow Daoist Lin?

"I remember... the greatest help you gave me, Manager, was the excellent banquet you hosted the day I met Fellow Daoist Lin," Baili Jingchen said with a smile. "Wanbaolou's wine has always been excellent, wouldn't you all agree?"

Fu Zongshi laughed and said, "Yes, that's right!"

The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat.

This matter is likely to be difficult to handle today.

Lin Ye did not raise his glass, but smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, none of my brothers and friends are happy to socialize."

Lin Ye patted Nangong Chong's head: "Xiao Chong is still very young."

"Let's finish the business quickly so we can have a proper chat with your son and daughter... How long would you like to rent, sir?"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper remained calm and composed, his eyes shining as he asked, "Young Master Lin, would you be willing to sell this place?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid the shopkeeper can't afford it."

"Young Master Lin, please name your price."

"The number of people in the Void God Realm is always increasing. Your profits in business are calculated in millennia. Could the manager's savings amount to profits equivalent to a thousand years?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "I was being inconsiderate. Let's talk about a long-term lease instead."

"A ten-year term, to be paid in full at once."

"Young Master Lin is short of quick money."

"I hate troublesome things."

"Young Master Lin, just tell me how many you want."

Lin Ye smiled and raised his glass.

The shopkeeper readily understood and picked up his wine cup to apologize, saying, "Look how careless I was! I was so busy talking to Young Master Lin. Gentlemen, please drink and eat! I won't disturb you. I'll come back after I finish talking to Young Master Lin."

As Lin Ye left, he gave Baili Jingchen a meaningful look, signaling him to follow.

Baili Jingchen's face lit up with joy, and he made an excuse to chase after them.

"A ten-year period, with a total of 150 million points paid in one lump sum."

The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Young friend Lin, the land in the Void God Realm is essentially just a signboard (advertising space). The products sold are the same as in the real world. How can it be worth this price?"

"The shopkeeper can also choose to give me 70% of the profit increase after entering the Void God Realm."

"It's hard to tell. Who can say whether the increase in profits is due to the Void God Realm or the hard work of my Wanbaolou employees lately?" The manager shook his head: "I still maintain that it's just a signboard."

Lin Ye shook his head and drank the wine in one gulp: "Then how about this, shopkeeper, I'll divide that piece of land and have it jointly managed by several parties, including Demon Emperor Mountain, Weapon Refiner Guild, Talisman Treasure Hall, Divine Sword Pavilion, and Kunpeng Clan."

"I'll ask my friends to help me make some connections."

Baili Jingchen nodded and caught up with Lin Ye: "Okay! I'll..."

"Two young masters!"

Finally, the shopkeeper stopped Lin Ye, took a deep breath, and said hesitantly, "Young Master Lin, I'll give you 30 for a two-year term! I really need some time to confirm that the Void God Realm has such value."

"Pleasant to work with."

Lin Ye immediately smiled.

The shopkeeper was taken aback by how quickly the tone of their conversation changed.

"Young Master Lin is a true gentleman, and a man of great integrity! I assure you, the Void God Realm branch will be completed tonight, and your land will not be left vacant for even a day... From now on, Young Master Lin will be the owner!"

Lin Yebin politely expressed his gratitude.

The shopkeeper could only sigh inwardly, "Growing up in a pampered environment, yet still so capable and efficient, I'm truly impressed."

Soon.

Everyone returned to the table, and the innkeeper toasted everyone, going around to each person before leaving to take his leave.

At this moment, Lin Ye also received the message from Huang Zhou.
