The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Of course, after being yelled at by Yan Wei like that, Tang Rao really didn't move an inch.

Otherwise, what? Play dead lying on the ground with screams of agony?

So Tang Rao just stood there dumbfounded for half an hour, and luckily it was Yan Wei, otherwise, Tang Rao might have gone over to start throwing punches long ago.

"Crack!" When Yan Wei emerged from that pile of messed up stuff, he was shaking dust off his body.

It was quite a scene that Tang Rao had never witnessed before.

"How's it going?" Tang Rao asked.

"It's pretty tough to suppress the Immortal Power, but luckily, I'm a great scientist. Here's the thing, you can start setting it up. But how to amplify its effect is your problem now. After all, this isn't the Nine Realms or Seventy-two Domains; you lack any foundation, so it might be hard," said Yan Wei as he tossed a box into Tang Rao's hands.

"Is there an instruction manual inside?" Tang Rao asked.

"Yes."

"Well, that's good. I have quite some experience with doing business. It's a shame Fat Bear isn't around; otherwise, I wouldn't have to do it all myself," Tang Rao muttered, Zhou Boxiong's business acumen was indeed formidable.

"Anything else? If not, I'm off to sleep. Li Li's giving birth tonight, and these next few days I might not have the energy to deal with other stuff," Yan Wei said.

"She's giving birth already? Tsk tsk tsk, alright then, I'll go check on my godson," Tang Rao said, remembering he still had the avatar Zhou Shengdian on the Moon—that was essentially Tang Rao himself.

"Godson? I don't even know if it's a boy yet. Also, when did I ever agree to let my child recognize you as a godfather?" Yan Wei asked.

"Nonsense, if not me, who else will be the child's godfather? And don't forget, I am a great deity; if I can't even distinguish between a boy and a girl, then what am I doing? The me who has stepped into the Immortal Realm is way beyond your imagination!" Tang Rao declared.

Yan Wei seemed somewhat regretful.

"It's a pity it's not a daughter. If it was a girl, that would be even better," Yan Wei mumbled.

Many people prefer sons, but Yan Wei has a particular fondness for daughters.

Sons grow up and aren't close to their fathers, but daughters are like little cotton jackets, always caring—how great is that?

"Alright, I'm heading out; you get some rest," Tang Rao said without lingering further, his consciousness immediately leaving the portable palace.

...

"Xiao Jun, tell me, do you know where the nearest commercial area to us is?" Lying in a chair in the newly built courtyard, Tang Rao asked Lu Jun, who was beside him.

"Commercial area? What's that? Never heard of it, can you eat it?" Lu Jun looked at Tang Rao.

Tang Rao: "..."

"I mean, where is it lively, where cultivators can exchange things with each other, buy and sell items, that sort of place," Tang Rao rephrased his question.

"Oh, you're talking about the marketplace? The nearest one should be the Dark Moon Association," said Lu Jun.

Dark Moon Association?

"The Dark Moon Association is actually a force to be reckoned with; the strongest there is probably a Seventh Level Luo Immortal, not bad at all. Their headquarters is a city, and because of the traffic, it gradually became a place for item exchange. Inside the city, there are markets where cultivators can trade their goods. Of course, due to their own power limitations, it's usually only Luo Immortals or below that go there," explained Lu Jun.

"That's decent," Tang Rao nodded. The thing Yan Wei gave him, he must sell first. With reputation, only then can one begin to distribute more goods; this matter can't be rushed.

Of course, his own identity cannot be exposed.

Once he starts making a lot of money, it's inevitable that some might get jealous.

In the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, Tang Rao wasn't afraid of anyone coveting and trying to snatch his possessions; he'd deal with anyone that tried.

But this is the Land of Immortals; just any casual Luo Immortal could send Kao Shan Sect soaring through the skies with a flick of the wrist.

"Brother Tang, are you looking to sell something?" Lu Jun asked.

"Yeah, we looted so much from Yijian Sect, we gotta sell some of it. There's no point in just keeping it on hand. Converting it to Immortal Stones is the most solid plan, to strengthen the Sect Protection Array," Tang Rao said.

Currently lacking powerful masters, we can only focus on strengthening the Sect Protection Array.

"Right, then I'll go with you," Lu Jun said.

"Okay, call A Ji and the fool, let's go now," Tang Rao got up, A Ji and the fool were Tang Rao's personal guards, so naturally, they had to come along.

Besides, it's safer to bring them along. After all, A Ji is an Eighth Layer Heaven Immortal, and the fool is a Fourth Layer Heaven Immortal.

He's so weak now, a Fifth Level Earth Immortal; gotta find more people to ensure his protection.

...

An hour later, Tang Rao, along with Lu Jun, A Ji, and the fool, had already arrived at Dark Moon Association.

They even used a Transmission Array once on the way, spending forty thousand Immortal Stones.

Yes, ten thousand per person per use.

Tang Rao finally understood why those major powers don't invade small factions like Kao Shan Sect or Yijian Sect—it's just not cost-effective!

Using a Transmission Array is so expensive, how much can you make from conquering a small faction? Moreover, these small factions are generally under the surveillance of big ones.

Small factions merging or fighting is usually overlooked, but another big force maliciously taking over is a no-go.

Just like Kao Shan Sect, Yijian Sect, and Lingxiao Mountain, there's a major power overseeing each.

Of course, the small factions under the control of a big power are not limited to these three, there are thousands of them.

These small factions can fight and merge without the big powers intervening; if you annex a few, you just have to pay several times the management fee later.

Now, theoretically, Kao Shan Sect has swallowed up Yijian Sect and Lingxiao Mountain, so when it's time to pay up, they'll have to pay triple.

"Looks pretty good," Tang Rao murmured as he eyed the city of Dark Moon in front of him.

The city seemed quite new, probably recently repaired. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and covered in greenery, it was quite beautiful.

"Brother Tang, are you sure you won't consider it?" Lu Jun looked at Tang Rao and asked.

"If you mention it again, I'll have the fool hit you," Tang Rao gave Lu Jun a look.

This guy actually suggested they sell kebabs here, kebabs...

If sold to others, what am I going to eat?

Although there's plenty of meat in the Land of Immortals, there are no seasonings. Only when you apply the barbecue ingredients from Blue Star onto the meat, can you bring out its great flavor.

"Alright..." Hearing Tang Rao's response, Lu Jun didn't babble anymore.

He was no match for the fool.

Once the four entered Dark Moon City, they felt the bustling atmosphere, with streets teeming with people bustling to and fro.

Both sides of the road were crammed with all kinds of vendors selling all kinds of things.

"Why are there no medicine vendors?" Tang Rao quickly noticed something odd; here, nobody was selling medicine.

Logically speaking, with the fierce conflicts in the Land of Immortals, medicine should be very popular.

"Brother Tang, you must be joking... Only Cultivators with Heavenly Immortal strength can become Pill Masters, capable of refining Dan Pills. And Dan Pills are something only those above the Heavenly Immortal Level are qualified to consume. These are just street stalls, how could anyone bring Dan Pills here to sell..." Lu Jun explained.

Tang Rao looked dumbfounded, only Heavenly Immortals can become Pill Masters...

What the hell, is this still restricted? To be honest, he hadn't made any medicine since arriving in the Land of Immortals.
