Chapter 1951 - 1950: The Tianqing Phenomenon
"I greet you, sir!" At this moment, Qingyi Hong walked in from outside. Seeing Zhang Xiaohao strolling in the garden, he hastened over in two steps rather than three.
"Looking for me?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
A subtle smile appeared on his face.
"Sir, I sincerely request that you become a patron of Qingyi Building!" Qingyi Hong said earnestly.
"We all know what’s going on, let’s not beat around the bush. You already know, so why pretend otherwise?" Zhang Xiaohao retorted with a slight smirk.
"Hehe." Qingyi Hong laughed awkwardly, trying to mask his embarrassment.
"Speak clearly! What do you want this time?" Zhang Xiaohao went straight to the point.
"Sir, I’m here to bring you some information." Qingyi Hong explained.
As he spoke, he took out an azure jade slip and handed it to Zhang Xiaohao.
"What is this?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Sir, it contains information about all the shop representatives competing in Tianqing Giant City." Qingyi Hong explained.
"No need to look." Zhang Xiaohao shrugged.
"Hmm? Sir, do you already know?" Qingyi Hong asked curiously.
"It’s just a bunch of trash. What’s the point of looking?" Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"But sir, these are not ordinary people, they are members of the Divine Clan! Their abilities are astonishing, with many trump cards, including the Bi Mu Divine Eye. Their combat power is formidable, capable of fighting above their level, even killing those at higher levels. They are truly exceptional talents!" Qingyi Hong exclaimed.
"Every one of them exceptional talents? If that’s true, then exceptional talents aren’t worth much, are they? They’ve become commonplace!" Zhang Xiaohao shrugged playfully.
"Sir, there are cultivators at the peak of Divinity Transformation among them! Many are said to be from Divine City, supported by major shops, their power amplified tenfold, they’re really strong!" Qingyi Hong insisted.
"Tell me, are there any cultivators in the Refining Void Realm among them?" Zhang Xiaohao asked seriously.
"No! According to the Divine Clan’s battle regulations, the highest cultivation level is peak Divinity Transformation! Even half-step Refining Void cultivators are allowed, but not those in the Refining Void Realm. And it’s forbidden for older cultivators to purposely suppress their realm to half-step Refining Void in an attempt to cheat. If discovered, they’ll be mercilessly hunted down by Tianqing Giant City!" Qingyi Hong explained.
"There you have it! Since there are no cultivators in the Refining Void Realm, why should I bother? Waste my time? You think I have time to waste on these nobodies?" Zhang Xiaohao replied disdainfully.
"Sir, are you sure? Don’t scare me! If I fail this time, in three to five years, all my resources will be depleted, and my whole family, including Qingyi Building, will be uprooted by the competition!" Qingyi Hong lamented.
"You think I would joke about my women? Make them live a life of poverty? Rest assured, I’m not like that. Since I’ve accepted your benefits, I won’t take the money without doing anything! You want top ten, right? I’ll secure that rank for you." Zhang Xiaohao declared confidently.
As long as there are no cultivators in the Refining Void Realm, with his current means, defeating them would be as easy as child’s play!
"With your assurance, sir, I am relieved! Here are some mighty artifacts I’ve prepared for you. There are several top-grade Spiritual Treasures and some powerful single-use Divine Thunders." Qingyi Hong took out a storage bag and handed it over.
"No need! With my cultivation, I don’t need these. While there’s still some time, I’ll go out for a stroll." Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"Sir, should I send two attendants to accompany you?" Qingyi Hong offered hastily.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao chuckled playfully, nodding ambiguously.
He understood Qingyi Hong’s intention, he just didn’t want him to take what he received and run off. Qingyi Hong would do the same in his place.
Seeing that his small ploy was detected by Zhang Xiaohao, Qingyi Hong wasn’t embarrassed. He waved his hand, and two young and beautiful attendants dressed in moon white short skirts, bare footed, walked in from outside.
"Your Qingyi Building is unique! You don’t even like to wear shoes." Zhang Xiaohao commented playfully.
"Hehe." This time, it was Qingyi Hong’s turn to laugh awkwardly, thinking it’s all for your service, isn’t it?
"Servant Bai Yi and servant Bai Ling greet you, sir!" The two young and beautiful attendants walked up and respectfully saluted Zhang Xiaohao.
Zhang Xiaohao glanced playfully at the two women. Their cultivation was not high, only at the early stage of Divinity Transformation, but they looked good, standing at 1.8 meters tall, with stunning figures, each exuding a peaceful demeanor, a layer of sky-blue spiritual light rippling under their feet, highlighting their delicate bodies.
If placed on Earth, they would definitely be the flowery star type, although their looks can’t compare to Qingyi’s three sisters, they come close.
"Okay." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He turned around and walked outside.
"Take good care of the sir. If you dare slack off even a little, I’ll deal with you both!" Qingyi Hong instructed.
"Rest assured, we will take good care of the sir." Bai Yi and Bai Ling replied respectfully.
They followed beside Zhang Xiaohao, heading outside.
Outside Qingyi Building was the renowned Tianqing Marketplace in Tianqing Giant City. It was vast, spanning millions of kilometers, with Qingyi Building having dozens of stores along the street. The power is evident.
Cultivators and ordinary people came and went on the wide road, the ground was littered with various stalls, vendors’ shouts echoed repeatedly.
Furthermore, there were some charming, delicate young women, whose cultivation wasn’t high, weaving through the cultivators.
Zhang Xiaohao smiled and glanced around, inwardly amazed at the prosperity and bustle of merely a border city, no wonder the Bi Mu Divine Race could be one of the Top 100 Races of the Spirit Realm, they truly have profound heritage!
Retracting his gaze, Zhang Xiaohao looked at the young, weaker women and asked, "What are they doing?"
"In response, sir, it’s common here in Tianqing Giant City! Their cultivation is low, if they want to go further on the path of cultivation, they need to engage in other trades to acquire resources." Bai Yi said delicately.
