Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 233 The power in the city
At the gate of the Martial Academy, the three handed over the token recommended by Li Qingyun.

The guard immediately understood, nodded and said: "So it's this year's freshman, welcome, you just go to Xinshengyuan to report, and someone will make arrangements for you."

"Thank you senior." Shen Zhongshan nodded in response, and the three left.

The guard suddenly turned his head and his eyes fell on Xu Gu'an's back.

"Strange, how could this person have an innate aura? Did I see it wrong?" The guard shook his head and didn't think much about it.

According to the information on the token, Xu Gu Anke is only 19 years old.

How could it be possible to enter the Xiantian realm at such a young age? I must have felt wrong.

On the other side, after entering the martial arts academy, Xu Guan's eyes fell on the figures walking around in the courtyard.

He didn't forget his purpose of coming here, to discover the best cards available.

His target is not only the students of the Grand Master's Martial Arts Academy, but also if there are people from other Martial Arts Academy that he takes a fancy to, he will also do the same.

His requirements are not high, as long as he can get a purple card that satisfies him here.

His eyes wandered, but unfortunately he didn't find an excellent target to appear along the way.

Even in the famous Grandmaster Martial Arts Academy, purple cards are not everywhere.

However, Xu Gu'an has seen a lot of money along the way with the blue card.

How to judge is also simple, Xu Gu'an is now mentally strong, and his perception is extremely keen.

Not too far away, one can tell at a glance the strength of the other person's aura, the general level of his current cultivation, combined with his age and the lack of vigor revealed between his brows, he can make a rough judgment on this person.

Although it is not 100% accurate, it can still score seven or eight points.

For these blue cards, he might still be greedy in the past, but now that he has got more blue cards, it is not surprising, and he is not even interested in consuming duplicate cards for re-enactment.

Along the way, Xu Gu'an and the others did not attract the attention of others.

Except for the two years of the war, the Grand Master Martial Academy recruited new students every year, so it was not a special thing for newcomers to arrive.

Soon, the three of them found the freshman reporting office.

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of visitors here, all of whom are freshmen who have come from all over the place after hearing that the Grandmaster Martial Academy has reopened.

"Just hand over your letter to me." The deacon in charge received Xu Gu'an and the others and said.

The letter contains the information of Xu Guan and the other three, and the deacon only needs to register the contents of the letter in the register.

In a short while, the registration was completed.

"Well, welcome to Suicheng. After today, you will be students of the Grandmaster Martial Arts Academy." The deacon then told the three newcomers some of the rules of Suicheng and the Grandmaster Martial Arts Academy.

What should be done and what should not be done is clearly stated, and he will repeat it to every new student.

There are campuses in the Martial Arts Academy for students to live in, which is exactly the same as Donglan Martial Arts Academy, and even many martial arts academy rules are similar.

Xu Gu'an suspected that Zhan Ziyun had once been a teacher at the martial arts academy here, and that was why he knew so much about the internal situation of the Grand Master's martial arts academy.

Shen Zhongshan and Shen Xi both chose to live in the Martial Arts Academy. Their Shen family has been sticking to the remote Donglan Town all year round. It is too far away from Suicheng, so they have not developed any related industries.

In fact, the three masters of Donglan Town once tried to develop their industrial territory in Suicheng, but they were so-called beyond their reach, and they never developed. Years of losses were in vain, so they all gave up.

This also caused the children of the Shen family to have no foundation here, not even a place to live.

Rather than staying in an inn or hotel, it is more convenient and economical to stay in the Wuyuan.

Xu Gu'an chose to settle in the city.

There are quite a lot of real estate in the city under his command, so he just picks one nearby and lives in it.

If it really doesn't work, at worst, he will squander a lot of gold and silver. No matter how expensive the housing prices in this city are, he still has no pressure to buy another house.

After the report, the three separated and went to their respective residences.

Xu Guan was going to find Zhang Yang and ask him to take him to the real estate under his name.

If he remembers correctly, in Suicheng, he owns a total of twelve properties, and they are all in good locations, covering a large area.

To buy these real estates, Xu Gu'an spent more than 30 gold in total, which is more than [-] when converted into silver coins!
This amount of money is not a small amount for any force.

If the Weng and Chen families want to spend this money, they will have to hurt their muscles and bones, and they will have to spend their family heritage to raise it.

For this wave of investment, Xu Gu'an almost emptied his family, of course, referring to the gold and silver part.

There are more than 1000 carefully selected game items in his inventory, which are the real wealth he has accumulated over the years of playing dungeons.

If they were all sold in reality, the gold and silver that could be exchanged would be an astonishing number.

On the other side, Zhang Yang and a few people were confronting a group of people under a commercial building he bought.

"It's ridiculous, this is the real estate I bought from the government, why is it yours?" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.

"This is my Qiuyue Merchant Guild's business. It has been in business for more than ten years. No one in Suicheng knows about it." A slightly fat man in brocade clothes said dissatisfiedly.

"Qiuyue Chamber of Commerce?" Zhang Yang was sure, "As far as I know, you entrusted the Chamber of Commerce to the government to sell it a year ago, so there is nothing to say now."

He did know that the owner of this firm was a chamber of commerce named Qiuyue, but during the war, the other party had already sold all the real estate in Suicheng and fled, including this firm.

Zhang Yang also confirmed repeatedly with the government that this firm can be purchased before he bought it.

In any case, even if they come back after the end of the war, this firm has nothing to do with them.

"Our Chamber of Commerce did sell it before, and now we hope to get it back at the original price when we come back." The man in the brocade suit raised his head slightly and said.

The tone was strong, not at all like a discussion tone.

In his eyes, it seems that this firm still belongs to their Qiuyue Chamber of Commerce, but now it is justifiably taken back when they come back.

"Impossible, this firm doesn't sell it." Zhang Yang said lightly.

He has regained his composure, and the other party's domineering is just bullying.

What a joke, he took risks during the war and bought it at a low price. Now that the war is over, the value of the firm will naturally increase sharply. Let them sell it at a low price. This is not a dream.

When the other party heard this, his expression turned cold, "I advise you to think it through before you speak."

There was no hint of threat in his words.

Beside him, Qi and blood emerged from several people, oppressing Xiang Zhangyang and the others.

Zhang Yang's cultivation base was low, and under this pressure, they suddenly froze in place.

"Naturally, he thought very clearly." Zhang Yang snorted softly. Although his tone seemed a bit difficult under the strong pressure, he still refused without changing his face, which shows how tough his temperament is and he is not afraid of power.

Li Deming narrowed his small eyes, revealing a dangerous gaze like a poisonous snake, stepped forward two steps, and stared at Zhang Yang who dared to contradict him.

"Don't think that the government in the city will protect you, foreigners like you who came out of nowhere, I think it's easy to move you.

Maybe you can expose your corpses to the wilderness tonight, and then this firm will still be a nobody! "

The people behind Zhang Yang seemed a little flustered under strong pressure, but luckily they were loyal enough and had a good character, so they didn't run away alone in fear.

Suddenly, a big hand landed on Li Deming's shoulder, and then a voice came from beside him unhurriedly.

"It seems that you are not completely stupid. You investigated us before you came and knew that we have no background. That's why you dared to play such a threat to achieve the purpose of buying at a low price."

When the sound came, Li Deming was startled. He only felt that the big hand on his shoulder was extremely powerful, and it was firmly imprisoning him in place, unable to move.

He is also a blood refiner himself, to be able to make him like this can only be an innate master!

"Who are you!" Several blood refiners shouted loudly, stepping forward to try to restrain this person who appeared suddenly.

"No one taught you to maintain a certain social distance when talking with others." Xu Gu'an pulled his hand, and Li Deming flew backwards in an instant, hitting those few blood refiners.

"You!" On the street, Li Deming was quite embarrassed, which made him stare at Xu Guan angrily.

He was a decent person, he thought highly of himself, how could he suffer such humiliation in public.

"Who are you!"

Fortunately, he was still somewhat rational, and realized that the young man in front of him might be a natural master, which made him hold back his breath and did not attack.

It's just that there is hesitation in my heart. Looking at such a young person, can he really be an innate master?

"Could he be a blood refiner with natural divine power?" He quickly thought about the possibilities in his mind.

"Young master." Zhang Yang was relieved when he saw Xu Gu'an came back, and stepped forward to salute.

Xu Gu'an nodded, he was very satisfied with Zhang Yang's performance of not giving in to Lu Qi just now.

Although his butler has no talent in cultivation, other than that, he is indeed talented in many other aspects.

"I am the owner of this business. If you want to buy this business back, you can. I will consider it if you pay [-] gold." Xu Guan said calmly.

Li Deming was silent for a moment, his face was gloomy.

The price quoted was just to make him happy. Before Zhang Yang bought the firm during the war, it only cost about [-] gold coins at a low price.

Nowadays, no matter how much the price increases, it is impossible to reach the price of [-] gold.

What is the concept of [-] gold, that is, if he sells the entire Qiuyue Chamber of Commerce, he may not be able to raise the money.

"Let's go!" Li Deming was also decisive, snorted heavily, and left without saying anything more to Xu Gu'an.

As a businessman, what he is best at is weighing the pros and cons.

The appearance of Xu Gu'an is a situation other than intelligence.

Before re-investigating clearly, he will not rashly make an enemy of this person.

They also have innate masters in their Qiuyue Chamber of Commerce, and there are more than one, so they are not afraid of ordinary innate masters.

But if Xu Gu An is really an innate master, such a young innate master, he knows what it means, enough to make him throw a mouse at this moment.

Xu Guan watched the group of people leave, turned around and walked into this huge business.

"Go and check the details of this chamber of commerce, in more detail." Xu Gu'an said to Zhang Yang while walking.

"Okay." Zhang Yang nodded in response.

They are newcomers to this city of Sui, so it is always right to seek stability.

In his eyes, as long as the other party is not a giant power like the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce, he is not afraid of it.

He doesn't want to be high-profile, but if the other party insists on making trouble, he can't give in.

After years of penance, his own strength is his greatest reliance.

Stepping into the firm, this is also the one with the highest value among his twelve real estates in the city.

The business house has three floors, and its huge area is comparable to a football stadium. The inside is empty, and there is nothing at present.

Xu Gu'an reckoned that it would be no problem to accommodate 5 to [-] people at the same time.

Suicheng is so big that many buildings in the city are also quite grand, and this business house is undoubtedly one of the large buildings.

The only fly in the ointment is that this business has existed for too long, and the many wooden structures inside are old, and some of them have decayed.

"Since we have decided to use this trading house, let's rebuild it." Xu Guan looked around and then made a decision, deciding to renovate the entire trading house.

"It's just that if it is rebuilt, the money will not be cheap." Zhang Yang looked at the huge area of ​​the firm and reminded.

"It's okay, in terms of funds, you make a list, and I'll fill in the gaps." Xu Guan waved his hand casually.

Over the past few months, he has accumulated some gold coins on his body, and there are still a lot of silver coins in the inventory.

All this money can be squandered and treated as an early investment.

He knows very well that no matter where he builds his influence, there is no one who does not burn money.

Apart from this firm, he would not be stingy if the other places were to be rebuilt.

"Okay!" Zhang Yang nodded, with a smile on his face.

It is also a pleasure for him to meet a boss like Xu Gu'an who is willing to burn money. It can let him let go of his control, and all his talents can be used.

Afterwards, Xu Gu'an took a look at the other properties that belonged to him.

In addition to commercial firms, there are also large restaurants, large inns, and large shops. In short, the area is not small.

And I have to say that the locations in the city are quite good, and it would be a pity to sell every one of them.

If it is kept in business, it is expected to become a cash cow.

"It's just a little hidden danger, I have to guard against it." Seeing that Xu Gu'an was satisfied, Zhang Yang couldn't help saying.

"What's the danger?"

"These real estates are excellent in the city, but that's exactly what they are, I'm afraid they will attract the covetousness of many forces in the city.

Like what happened at the Qiuyue Chamber of Commerce just now, I am afraid it will happen again in the future. " Zhang Yang sighed.

Sometimes if you take too big a step at once, there will be such problems.

"It's okay, it's up to me." Xu Gu'an's simple words made Zhang Yang feel much more at ease.

"To put it bluntly, the other party dares to covet it because we are not strong enough to gain a firm foothold in the city."

Zhang Yang deeply believed that Xu Gu'an was still the only deterrent they could show at the moment, and there was no other person who could protect their properties.

To put it simply, Xu Guan has no generals under his command.
