Qin Lingxuan listened and thought for a moment, "That's one way to do it, but the people coming out of those places are bound to be a mixed bag. I'm worried there might be a few demonic cultivators among them, which could be a bit troublesome."

"We have also considered this situation. We will definitely set some thresholds and strictly examine every independent cultivator who plans to purchase real estate in the city." Zhao Kangping continued to explain.

He then went on to say, "We have also decided to implement a real-name system for home purchases. Each family can only purchase one property, and it must be purchased by the individual, and it cannot be resold in the short term."

This is also to prevent some people from buying a large number of properties at once and then reselling them at a high price.

He doesn't want anyone to come and speculate on real estate.

It would be best to sell these houses to people in need.

Moreover, he strictly investigated the background of the people who bought the houses in order to prevent the five major families from dividing up the southern part of the city through their own connections.

Qin Lingxuan was very smart. After just a few words, she understood Zhao Kangping's intention.

She said, "The Lord City Lord really cares about the residents of the city."

Miss Qin is a businessman, but she is also a businessman with conscience and public morality.

If what he said was sincere, then he really was a pushover.

Most of the superiors in this era do not care about the life and death of those independent cultivators.

As long as Zhao Kangping can really lower the housing prices in the southern part of the city so that as many independent cultivators as possible can afford to buy houses, this will definitely change the future of many families.

He came from a family of independent cultivators, his father a free-spirited cultivator who made a living in the market. He still remembered the most difficult times for his family, when the three of them lived in a small, dilapidated house.

At that time, my father had some skills in making talismans and relied on this to support the family.

Unfortunately, my father’s cultivation level is low, so he can only make some low-level talismans.

Later, my father saved up spirit stones for several years and finally bought a bigger house for our family.

The day we moved into our new home, it felt like Chinese New Year. Even my mother, who wasn't in good health, cooked a few extra dishes.

Now that I think about it, even the house we moved to later was only about 50 square meters, with the kitchen, dining room and living room connected together. There was only one bedroom and a room where my father made talismans.

The house had no toilet, so they had to use the public toilets in the market for emergencies. They showered in a tub in the kitchen-dining-living room. They also had to fetch water from outside for daily use. It was extremely inconvenient.

From his current perspective, the house was actually very small.

But the family still lived happily in such a simple home.

Precisely because he comes from such a family, he can understand the difficulties of being a freelance cultivator.

That's why he came up with such a decree that was beneficial to independent cultivators.

After eating and drinking, the group walked on the streets of the southern part of the city. Most of them were well-dressed, and their presence attracted the attention of many local people.

Although the population of Chengnan District is not large now, it attracted a lot of onlookers along the way.

There are basically no shops in the southern part of the city now, but there are quite a few people setting up stalls.

After all, there are still many people living here, and as long as there are people, there will be various needs.

Food, clothing, and daily necessities all require consumption. Consumption leads to trade.

Among the group, there was a female cultivator named Fairy Caihuan, who was the head of the Xianyi Pavilion.

When they came to a street, the Colorful Fairy stopped.

"Hey, this location, I remember it used to be a branch of Xianyi Pavilion." Fairy Caihuan said, pointing to a rebuilt empty room.

Zhao Kangping had been to the Xianyi Pavilion in Chuanliu City several times, accompanying his disciples and Aunt Yun. He had left many memories here, but it was unfortunately destroyed during the turmoil.

After the reconstruction, this place became vacant.

At this time, Jiang Yulou, the elder of Baibao Pavilion in the team, also came over.

This middle-aged man had also met Zhao Kangping once before. He said, "Our Baibao Pavilion and Xianyi Pavilion also have a deep cooperation. If I remember correctly, the manager of this branch was actually a subordinate of that bastard."

"Since the turmoil, the store manager has disappeared."

The bastard Jiang Yulou was talking about was naturally the black-clothed envoy's alias in the Treasure Pavilion, the deacon of the Treasure Pavilion branch in Chuanliu City.

Later, Zhao Kangping found out that the vest was actually a puppet created by Fang Quan, and she used this identity to provide many conveniences for her plan.

At this moment, he remembered that he had given Fang Quan's portrait to Jiang Yulou, hoping that Baibao Pavilion could collect more information about her through their intelligence network.

"Brother Jiang, has your Baibao Pavilion found the whereabouts of Fang Quan?" Zhao Kangping took the opportunity to ask.

Jiang Yulou sighed and said, "Ah, I did look for her, but unfortunately she ran away."

"Here's what happened. We found her at the Leizhou branch."

"We sent many strong men to surround her, but she unexpectedly broke through to the Void Refinement Stage. We were unable to obtain this information in time, and sacrificed several Spiritual Transformation Stages in vain."

Leizhou is located in the southwest of the Eastern Region, more than a thousand miles away from the Ziyang Holy Land.

"When did this happen?"

"It was around the end of last month. The failure of this encirclement and suppression campaign caused considerable losses to our Baibao Pavilion. I'm afraid we won't be able to recover for several hundred years."

Commercial forces like the Baibao Pavilion would support a number of monks within their ranks. Their sole purpose was to act as Baibao Pavilion's thugs. Of course, their status within the Baibao Pavilion was also very high.

But Baibao Pavilion couldn't compare to those sects with long histories. They might have sufficient financial resources, but they lacked in the secret manuals of martial arts. Therefore, it was not easy to train some masters to take charge.

"Leizhou?!" Zhao Kangping pondered over the place name. He felt that the name sounded familiar.

After a little thought, I remembered that this place had a plot in the original story.

That is where the Su family is located, and it is also the place where Luo Xueqing and the Su family became enemies in the original novel.

"That guy actually broke into the realm of refining emptiness. This is not good." Zhao Kangping stroked his chin lightly.

He also had to intensify his training.

In fact, he did have a way to make a quick breakthrough.

The first thing he did was to refine the Yuan Yin energy that his senior sister left him after their first dual cultivation, which he had not yet completely refined.

If he could completely refine it, he could at least reach the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which would save him decades of hard training.

But this is not enough. He must have other luck to catch up with Fang Quan in cultivation.

At this time, Auntie Yun gently patted Zhao Kangping's back with her delicate hand and asked, "The Fang Quan you mentioned is the Black-robed Divine Envoy, right?"

"She has just entered the realm of Refining Void, so she is actually not that scary. As long as I can fully recover, dealing with this person will be no problem."

Nangong Ruyun’s aptitude for cultivation was actually not bad, but she was delayed by the cold poison problem, causing her to stagnate in the late stage of refining emptiness for many years.

She had heard from others that if she wanted to completely cure her cold poison condition, she would need to continuously practice dual cultivation with a male cultivator with a yang constitution.

She didn't want to casually reveal her innocence before, but now she has someone.

At that time, she was thinking, she has always been strong-willed, even without relying on men, she cultivated to the Void Refining Stage on her own. Which man in this world is worthy of her?

If she chooses someone she doesn't like as her partner, she would rather die.

But now her mind has changed.

It turned out that her beloved nephew was the legendary Pure Yang Holy Body, a typical Yang constitution, and an outstanding one at that.

She has liked this child since he was a child, and she is very happy when she is with him.

Over time, she also regarded them as her own family.

Although they were not related by blood, they shared many memories, and the bond they had built was very strong. They cared about each other, and he was one of the few people in the world who could make her feel warm.

However, after being together for so long as to be like family, it is a bit embarrassing to want to transform the relationship between the two into a more intimate bond.

At least before he spoke, she didn't want to be the first to break the window paper.

After hearing Aunt Yun's words, Zhao Kangping thought, could it be that Aunt Yun was testing him?

He actually knew how to solve the problem of the cold poison. He had to continue to inject pure Yang energy into the deepest part through Yuan Yang, so as to refine the core of the cold poison bit by bit.

But would she really agree to such a thing?

He still remembered that when he was a child, he was naughty and once grabbed Aunt Yun's snow to play with it, and was beaten by her.

After being beaten by Aunt Yun, he was beaten by Master, and then it was mixed doubles again.

They also taught me not to touch my aunt randomly.

Considering that Aunt Yun has been chaste for many years and hasn't had a partner, it's possible that she isn't interested in romance and is the kind of female cultivator who values ​​cultivation above all else.

Perhaps it was this concern that made Zhao Kangping unsure of Aunt Yun's intentions.

It would be embarrassing if I misunderstood and it turned out that she didn't mean that.

Currently, he was only using Pure Yang Qi to stabilize her condition, which would ensure that her symptoms would not worsen. As for dual cultivation, it wasn't actually necessary.

"Meow~~"

At this moment, a cat's meow attracted Zhao Kangping's attention.

Zhao Kangping looked in the direction of the sound and noticed Wan Baiyi teasing a cat on the side of the road.

But the cat seemed a little afraid of her, and its fur stood on end.

The frightened cat hissed threateningly.

"This cat is so cute, but it's so fierce." Wan Baiyi blinked her clear big eyes.

"It's not vicious, it's just scared by you." Zhao Kangping walked towards the girl.

Cats are actually more sensitive than many humans.

You are a big snake, of course the kitten will be afraid of you.

When Chuanliu City was rebuilt, he also participated in repairing some of the city's formations. He brought Zhao Mengyao here that day, and she ended up bringing a litter of kittens back to Yaohua Palace. He wondered how she was doing.

At this time, the wooden door of a nearby yard opened, and a little girl about eleven or twelve years old ran out.

"Attract wealth, attract wealth. Hey, you are here." The little girl ran over and picked up the cat.

The girl saw Wan Baiyi who had just wanted to hug the cat. She said in a soft voice, "Sister, Zhaocai is shy, but he's actually very well behaved."

Before she finished speaking, the cat licked the girl's pink cheek.

Then the girl laughed and took the cat back to her home.

"So it's a cat with an owner. That's great! It must be living a very happy life." As if something in her heart was touched, the girl said with emotion.

Zhao Kangping patted her shoulder and said, "You won't be wandering around anymore. I will give you a home in the future."

At this moment, before it gets dark, the girl's eyes are filled with stars.

……

In a stinking alley, a skinny beggar with disheveled hair and a broken leg was lying on the ground waiting to die.

He used to be a servant of the Shen family and had some minor cultivation skills.

However, due to his youthful vigor, he did not hold back when sparring with Miss Shen and accidentally injured her.

In reality, it was just a few scrapes on his legs, and there wasn't even any blood. But Miss Shen lost her temper and ordered his legs to be broken, his cultivation to be abolished, and finally he was thrown out on the street to fend for himself.

The beggar's eyes were half-closed, hunger about to devour his remaining consciousness. His eyelids were growing heavier and heavier. If he closed his eyes, he might never see the sun again.

"Do you desire power?" A somewhat childish voice of a child reached his ears.

He looked up and saw a girl about fourteen years old.

The other person seemed to be glowing, like a fairy sent by God to save him.

Chapter 284: Aunt Yun’s Loss and the Disappearing Sword Spirit

Zhao Kangping led the delegation of the Qianshang Alliance on a tour around the southern part of the city.

Everyone can see that this place does have certain commercial potential.

But there are also prominent problems, such as the insufficient population here, which makes it difficult to maintain a stable business environment.

Although Zhao Kangping promised to find ways to promote population migration here in the future, this will obviously not be a quick process.

If they have the energy to wait for this place to develop, why don’t they invest in those mature markets?

Restoring the desolate southern part of the city to its former vitality is no easy task. No matter how talented the successor may be, it is impossible to complete the construction here overnight.

For businessmen, time is extremely valuable. Ordinary businessmen would not necessarily wait for such an uncertain time.

But Miss Qin is optimistic about this place and claims that now is a good time to invest.

Although the initial recovery work in Chengnan District was difficult, as long as we can get through this period, the future prospects will still be very promising.
