Mortal Ascension Record

But at this moment, Qin Tian suddenly changed the subject and said with a half-smile:

"But Qin also has a request. If the Jin family decides to settle in Fairy City, they must sign a long-term contract, guaranteeing that 20% of the profits of major industries will be handed over to our Dao Sect as rent every year. Isn't this reasonable?"

Hearing this, Fatty Jin's face suddenly changed slightly, his small eyes started to wander, and then he quickly put on a horrified look and said:

"What? 20% of the profit will be handed over to Daozong? Why don't you go and grab it? Even if the rent of shops in Immortal City is high, it will not be exaggerated to this extent! My Lao Jin family will never suffer this loss!"

However, Qin Tian felt confident when he saw this, and he immediately spoke out and argued with sincerity:

"With the white-eyed wolf of the Xiao family in front of us, our Dao Sect naturally has to take precautions. The necessary measures are also helpless. Besides, your Jin family doesn't want to make the same mistake again, right? So this method is to put it bluntly, it is to protect the interests of both families. Tied together, so that both prosper and lose, this is the way to long-term development!"

"Don't say that you, Fatty Jin, can't understand this! In the future, with the full support of our Dao Sect, your Jin family will be the number one chamber of commerce in the fairy city. How can the huge benefits from this be compared to a mere 20%?"

After hearing this, Fatty Jin pondered secretly for a moment, but reluctantly nodded:

"That's all, that makes sense!"

At this moment, Qin Tian's eyes flashed, but he spoke again:

"Don't agree in a hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet! What Qin means is that Daozong will take 20% of the interest, and Jinxuanfeng Battle Hall will take another 10%!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Jin was suddenly shocked:

"What? You are such a big talker! If the division continues like this, wouldn't my old Jin family's work be in vain? Besides... If you are so big, you are not afraid of those Dao Sect members. Are you dissatisfied?"

When Qin Tian heard this, he smiled enigmatically:

"Brother Jin, there is no need to worry about this. Mr. Qin has a clever plan of his own! Besides, I, the Jinxuanfeng War Hall, govern the Immortal City, escort your Jin Chamber of Commerce, and draw some profits to use as military expenses. Isn't this reasonable?"

After hearing this, Fatty Jin's mood eased slightly, but his face was full of suspicion and he said:

"That's the truth, but... as far as I know, Fatty Jin, the leader of the noble sect's fairy city should only have a term of thirty years! What if... ....."

At this point, Fatty Jin stopped talking, but his meaning was quite straightforward. He was obviously worried that the future change of power in Immortal City would have a direct impact on the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, Qin Tian's face did not change when he heard this, and he assured in a rather firm tone:

"Don't worry, since I, Mr. Qin, have decided to wade into troubled waters, I will naturally not do anything useless. From now on, this Fengming Fairy City will only be under the control of the Jinxuanfeng Battle Hall!"

As soon as he said this, Fatty Jin couldn't help but change his face, as if he was a little hesitant, and fell into silence on the spot.

When Qin Tian saw this, he didn't bother him. Instead, he took out a pot of spirit wine, leaned against the window sill and faced the cool evening breeze, looking at the fairy city below at night, and drank it comfortably.

However, there was no hint of urgency on his face, instead it was full of calmness and calmness.

It is a kind of confidence that everything is under control, and there is also the calmness of not being surprised at any change!

Seeing this scene, especially looking at the calm back, Jin Ruyu's eyes couldn't help but twinkle slightly, and then he said with an unusually serious expression:

"This matter is of great importance, and Mr. Jin has no right to make a decision. He must rush back to the family to hold a meeting of elders! I hope Brother Qin will wait for the good news for the time being!"

After saying that, Jin Ruyu solemnly bowed her hands and turned around to leave.

However, at this moment, Qin Tian's calm voice sounded again:

"One more thing. After the Immortal City Auction Ceremony, Xiao Bufan must die! This move will not only clear the way for the Jin Chamber of Commerce to settle in the Immortal City, but it will also be the official end of the Jin family!"

As soon as these words came out, Fatty Jin couldn't help but froze, and his expression changed again.

At this moment, he had a vague illusion that Qin Tian at this moment seemed a little different from before!

........................................

........................................

As time passed slowly, more than ten days soon passed.

During this period, as the large-scale auction ceremony approached, representatives from the major forces in Youzhou, as well as guests from all over the Kyushu continent, as well as many unsectarian cultivators, all gathered one after another, making the already prosperous place Fengming Fairy City has become a lot more lively again.

Thanks to this, not only the major streets were crowded with people, but also the major chambers of commerce were busy, and the business at least increased several times.

However, due to the damaged reputation of many directly-controlled shops under Daozong, it is still difficult to make much improvement, and instead they have become the laughing stock of the city's business community.

However, Qin Tian, ​​as the lord of the Immortal City, seemed to have no reaction to this matter. He either met with representatives of major forces every day or stayed in the city lord's mansion for meditation, as if he was doing nothing.

Moreover, because the fairy city was overcrowded and various frictions occurred from time to time, the garrison led by Qi Mo was also very busy. Even Long Aotian, who had always been unruly, was assigned by Qin Tian to guard the city gate to prevent Demon spies sneak in.

It's just that everyone in Daozong seems to have forgotten about the upcoming auction ceremony, and they don't even show any concern.

After all, according to Fairy City's past practice, the list of treasures for the auction ceremony must be announced at least half a month before, so that it can be widely publicized and take advantage of the opportunity to earn admission fees and attract more monks to come and bid.

But as the time approached, Daozong took no action at all. This abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of many interested people!

.............................

Late at night, in a quiet courtyard somewhere in the inner city, Xiao Bufan, the young master of the Xiao Chamber of Commerce, and the two deputy city masters were gathering together to plot secretly.

However, a lot of doubts can be seen between the eyebrows of the three people.

At this moment, the Mangshan ghost couldn't help but said:

"I'm talking to fellow Taoist Xiao, will your plan work? I think this Taoist sect has been acting a bit abnormally recently? Could it be that he is planning to break the pot?"

Venerable Nanli on the side heard the words and couldn't help but echoed:

"Something is not right! According to common sense, Daozong should be in a state of distress at this moment. In order to preserve his reputation and complete the auction, he has to compromise with us! But how come the guy named Qin hasn't reacted at all yet? "

After hearing this, Xiao Bufan had a look of indifference on his face. He took a sip of the spirit tea and said calmly:

"Two Taoist friends, please be patient! With the current situation of Dao Sect, we will definitely not let Xian Cheng do it!"

"Besides, Taoist friend Qin Tian is the Lord of Immortal City, and is now a well-known model of righteousness in Jiuzhou. It is understandable that he is a little arrogant! Therefore, if City Lord Qin is to put down his arrogance and beg us in a lowly manner, we must give him some time. It’s good to be mentally prepared, isn’t it?”

"The two fellow Taoists just wait and see. In three days at most, Qin Tian will definitely come to visit! Please let us continue to hold the auction!"

As soon as these words came out, the two deputy city lords' expressions softened slightly, and then they started talking with sneers on their faces:

"That's great. Let's see how long this Qin man can delay!"

"That's right, that kid dared to be arrogant because of his strength, but he ended up being manipulated by us!"

"Hehe~! When that kid comes to visit, I will definitely take the opportunity to humiliate him and dampen his spirit!"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is still very resourceful, and I really admire him!"

.....................

After hearing this compliment, Xiao Bufan's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly proud of himself, and then he couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"Hmph~! In terms of strength, I, Xiao, may not be that boy's opponent, but in terms of business methods, I can beat Qin Tian by just a few blocks!"

"Last time, you actually dared to ask me to come and apologize. This time, I just let out a bad breath. I, Xiao Bufan, am waiting here. Let's see what this City Lord Qin wants me to do!"

As he spoke, Xiao Bufan's originally handsome face could not help but reveal a hint of resentment. He was obviously still brooding about what happened to the City Lord's Mansion last time.

After all, when had he, the dignified young master of the Xiao Chamber of Commerce, ever suffered such humiliation? If you don't find your place, how will you be able to hang out in Kyushu Continent in the future?

However, just when the atmosphere in the court relaxed, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard:

"It's not good...! Young Master...something big happened!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bufan frowned slightly, and then reprimanded him calmly:

"What kind of panic is there? If Qin Tian comes, let him wait outside the door first. Just say that I have been busy with official duties recently and have no time to see guests for the time being!"
