Primordial Qi

Chapter 227: Squandering

Since the Qingming Sect was established here, the Qingming City has become more and more prosperous, and it is about to become a city of immortal cultivation with a golden plaque. Gu Chenyu walked on the streets of Qingming City, looking around to see the new items on the street.

This place is only about thirty or forty miles away from Qingming Sect. It used to take more than ten minutes to fly here, but now it can be reached in the blink of an eye.

Gu Chenyu picked and chose, and finally chose some things that girls like, such as sweets, small toys, and most importantly clothes. He seemed bored and bought a lot of silk. He was also thinking about how to make sanitary napkins.

"No, I don't know the raw materials, so I can only make a rough idea. It looks like I have to ask the woman for advice."

Gu Chenyu thought about it and felt that it was not very reasonable, so he went to find a shop for Li Qiner to use, specializing in selling the pills he made, and also selling some talismans. It would be best if he could get the authorization from Qingming Sect, so that he could maximize marketing.

"What? You want 3,000 mid-grade spirit stones a month? You're just robbing me!"

"What do you mean by robbing? You better be careful with your words. I clearly marked the price. Three thousand middle-grade spirit stones a month. Not a single stone less."

"Tsk, if you don't rent it, there are plenty of people who will."

After hitting a snag, Gu Chenyu discovered that the land prices in Qingming City were also rising rapidly, with one becoming more expensive than the other. It was estimated that the land could be sold for five thousand medium-grade spirit stones in a while.

"It's really annoying. The monthly offering is just that much. Looks like I have to ask Erhei to steal some. The spirit stones of the Li family in Tianyun City are very good. Just take whatever you want."

Gu Chenyu groaned and bullied Li Miner. He couldn't beat those monarch-level ancestors, and couldn't beat those little noobs? One punch for each little Karami.

"Young man, I see that you have an extraordinary bearing. Why don't you take a look at my peerless martial arts book?"

"Go away. I've been fooled by you before, and you still want to fool me."

He hadn't forgotten the technique he had bought at a high price. How many spirit stones had he sold the Five Elements Qi Training Technique that everyone knew? Anyway, everyone looked at him like a fool.

"Old man, I recognize you. I am a celestial being now. Be careful or I will fart and kill you."

The old man ran away in fear. Gu Chenyu felt that the world was so small that he could even meet such a swindling old man. Depressed, he looked towards the center of Qingming City, wondering if the city lord here could help.

He took out a few books with martial arts manuals written on them from his arms. These were the ones he got from the old man. He flipped through them one by one and suddenly felt speechless.

There were magical powers for great fortune, magical powers of the Jade Girl, and even a pornographic book with extremely erotic actions in it.

Throwing away those useless martial arts books, Gu Chenyu stuffed the pornographic book into his arms. He could study this book secretly at night, but now he had to find a suitable store.

“Haha, Master Batian Peak, how come you have time to come and sit with me?” Lin Xia, the Lord of Qingming City, smiled faintly.

"Well, it's because the offerings are not enough, so I'm trying to earn some spirit stones."

Hearing this, Lin Xia's expression changed slightly. He asked tentatively, "Is it the sect's wish or your personal opinion?"

"Of course it's my personal opinion. Don't worry, I've always been honest. I just can't find a suitable store, so I want to ask the city lord for help to find one."

Lin Xia smiled bitterly, and said with some sadness on his face: "Although I am the lord of a city, I don't have so many resources. I have only taken over for more than ten years, and I don't have such great power yet."

"If I'm not mistaken, the city lord should be the descendant of the sect master. If you don't help, I will go to him and tell on him. You know, my three brothers are the pride of the Qingming Sect. You don't want to be slandered behind your back, do you?"

"You..." Lin Xia was speechless. Why didn't this kid play by the rules?

"I really can't help you. The higher-ups are keeping a close eye on you. But I can reveal a piece of news. Qingming City is going to be upgraded to a city for cultivating immortals."

"Oh? Seriously?"

Lin Xiu nodded. Of course he had first-hand information.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't bother the city lord."

Gu Chenyu took his leave. He walked a little further away and said loudly, "I will report this to the Lin family's ancestors. Just wait for Sect Master Lin to come up and pull your ears."

Lin Xia felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood in his heart. Why did he have to report him after the information was leaked?

"Buy, buy them all. I want them all, here and there."

Gu Chenyu waved his hand, and hundreds of top-grade spirit stones appeared on the table. This was going to be upgraded to a city for cultivating immortals, so the housing prices would surely rise. He thought of doing a real estate business and buying everything he could.

"Do you want to buy it if you have a Qingming Sect account?"

"I am from the Qingming Sect, my name is Luo Fusheng, why don't you ask who I am?"

"Oh my god, Peak Master! Come on, buy from me and I'll give you a 10% discount."

"No, come to me, I'll give you an 85% discount. I just don't know if I can let my useless grandson go to Qingming Sect to practice. He's a good seedling, maybe he can become a genius like those three people."

"You? All the talented people in Qingming City have joined the Qingming Sect. If your grandson has the talent, let him join the sect on his own. I won't use any backdoors."

.........

After bragging to the persons in charge of these real estate projects for a long time, Gu Chenyu finally bought a street and a house, and thousands of top-grade spirit stones were gone just like that.

"Profiteer, profiteer!"

Gu Chenyu felt like crying but had no tears. He had squandered all the spirit stones he had looted from the Li family. Adding those he had consumed in his previous breakthrough, he was now penniless.

"Fortunately, I still have disciple points in Qingming Sect. I can exchange them for medicinal materials and sell some pills first."

After a busy day and night, Gu Chenyu finally finished everything. He called Li Qiner here and asked her to take care of the street.

"Just me?" Li Qiner looked at him in disbelief. Is there no one to help?

"Uh, that's poorly thought out. You can recruit people on your own."

"There are a few disciples in the sect who are familiar with me, and they are also short of spirit stones recently. I can call them to come over and help first."

"Well, let's set up a place to buy pills first and sell all of them first."

"I'm a weak woman, what if someone comes to suppress me?"

"It's simple. I'll ask the city lord to take care of you. I'll spread the news to the public and say that the Qingming Sect's Peak Master is here. I believe they won't dare to cause trouble."

After explaining these things to Li Min'er, she finally smiled. Gu Chenyu took her back to Wanqiu Peak. His ears suddenly turned red and he asked, "Can I ask you something? The girl is here..."

Li Qiner's cheeks blushed slightly as she taught Gu Chenyu what to do and even gave him a lot of women's personal belongings.

"That's it, thank you very much."

Seeing Gu Chenyu go away, Li Qiner's eyes showed some reluctance. There was no love between men and women in his eyes, only concern for his relatives. She sighed in her heart that she was old and had no hope of being with him in this life, but she was not a sentimental person and was willing to manage those businesses for him behind the scenes.

Looking at the empty storage space, Gu Chenyu's heart was bleeding. He had never been so poor before. It seemed that he had to go out and cause some trouble, and find a way to rob houses.

Inside Wanqiu Palace, Gu Chenyu saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing behind Gu Qingxue. He frowned. This girl looked a little unfamiliar!

"Xue'er."

"Call me Song Wanqiu, or Peak Master Wanqiu."

"Yes, Peak Master Wanqiu."

Gu Chenyu's face turned dark. He couldn't make her angry. He had to go along with her, otherwise he would be the one who would be in trouble.

"Who is this?" Gu Chenyu pointed at the woman.

"She is my new disciple. Her cultivation is average, but her physique is okay. How about letting her be your concubine in the future?"

"No, you are the only one I like."

"Then why are you staring at me?"

"I suddenly feel like I've seen it somewhere." Gu Chenyu touched his chin, thoughtfully.

"What? Do you like it?"

Gu Qingxue, or Song Wanqiu, walked up to Gu Chenyu and sniffed him. She looked intoxicated. She said sourly, "You smell like rouge. You must have gone out to meet that little vixen again. You didn't come back all night. You must be very tired now."

"Ok?"

"What? You dare not take responsibility for what you did?" Song Wanqiu raised her little fist, pretending to punch him.

Gu Chenyu's mouth twitched. Why does she look so much like Gu Qingxue? Her nose is so sensitive, and she looks so cute even when she's jealous.

"Don't joke around. I'll let you try it one day and show you what it means to last long." Gu Chenyu tapped the tip of her nose with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Bah, shameless." Song Wanqiu lowered her head with a blush on her face.

Gu Chenyu looked at the woman, only to see that her eyes were lifeless. It was obvious that she had experienced some great terror, or was so frightened that her soul had gone into hiding.
