Chapter 839: The Richest Man in Qinglin County

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

A few days later, Tang Xiu had returned to Jingmen Island and arranged for Spectre to join the Everlasting Feast Hall. After accompanying Gu Yan’er for a few days, he took Mo Awu’s team to Qingcheng Mountain in a hurry. Before leaving, he had contacted Long Zhenglin, but the result was disappointing. Long Zhenglin had rushed to Qingcheng Mountain and found traces of Wang Hao, but the man kept avoiding him.

Red Silk Flower was the best ingredient to concoct Blood Seizing Pill as it had strong compatibility and was an unusually powerful agent to divide the energy—the two properties that brought an excellent effect of improving the physical strength of immortal cultivators.

It was rather urgent for Tang Xiu to break through the Blood and Qi Circulation stage of Stars Tyrannical Body because he knew that once he reached this stage, he would be on par with ordinary cultivators at the stage of Nascent Soul.

After rushing all the way, Tang Xiu and Moa Wu’s group of six finally arrived at Qingcheng Mountain. More precisely, they arrived at a small town decked out in a classical style called Qinglin County.

Though county was located in a very remote part of Sichuan, its economic development and prosperity were comparable to some small prosperous counties in the Southern Region. The number of permanent residents here was not many, but it was a famous scenic and tourist spot in China that attracted a lot of tourists every season from all over the world.

On the wide avenue here, two taxis were heading to downtown Qinglin County. Tang Xiu was riding on the second taxi while watching the scenery outside, especially the looming mountain in the distance. He fell in love with this place the moment he arrived.

“Umm?”

Suddenly, Tang Xiu was surprised to find a star’s poster hanging on the billboards, buses, and even the high-rise buildings around.

“From the looks of it, Zhang Xinya is quite famous in your county, isn’t she, Uncle?”

The taxi driver was a rather ineloquent man, but he seemed to have the mood to converse when he heard Tang Xiu’s inquiry. A smile appeared on his dark face as he answered, “Well, we’ve kinda been stuffed with the news and coverage of that big star, Zhang Xinya, on TV and the web in the last half month, ever since the preparation of the opening sale for the Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze villa complex. All the media massively covered the news of Zhang Xinya’s arrival to our place half a month ago. Even the Big Boss of this villa complex spent quite a fortune in publicity.”

“It’s just an opening sale for the villa complex, there’s no need to invite such a big star, no?” Tang Xiu was astonished. “After all, your county town is kinda small…”

“Little Brother, you thought that our place is just a small county, so it’s not worth it to ask a big star for publicity?” said the taxi driver with a smile.

“I just feel that’s a bit too exaggerated, honestly.” Tang Xiu shook his head.

“Not really that exaggerated, to be honest,” said the taxi driver. “The Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze villa complex is the most luxurious villa complex in Qinglin County; those who buy in the complex are rich and powerful people from the outside. Well, you don’t know where the villa complex is located it seems, else you’ll definitely be interested if you have money.”

“Tell me then,” requested Tang Xiu.

“The Golden Goble Emperor Gauze is built halfway up the highest hill peak on the outskirts of Qingcheng Mountain. It’s not in our Qinglin County town, but about five-plus kilometers northward from us, which is at the foot of that said mountain. And today, that highest hill has been transformed into an upscale neighborhood which boasts luxurious dining, entertainment, culture and other facets of establishment for the luxurious complex. It’s equal to a status symbol for those who live there. Of course, above all else, the Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze villa complex is within a scenic spot of Qingcheng Mountain, and ordinary tourists are not allowed to enter it.”

“It seems like the one who established this villa complex is quite a great figure, right?” asked Tang Xiu with a smile after quickly understanding the story.

“That’s only natural. He’s from the richest family in Qinglin County: Wang Xuegang, the younger brother of the vice-abbot of the Daoist monastery in Qingcheng Mountain,” said the taxi driver with a smile.

Qingcheng Daoist Monastery?

Tang Xiu’s expression moved and he asked more, “Where is this Qingcheng Daoist Monastery exactly? Is it also within the scenic tourist area?”

“No, it’s quite far—on a higher peak of Qingcheng Mountain, to be precise.” The taxi driver shook his head and said, “Ordinary tourists won’t go there. Only a few who are devoted will go there to consecrate and burn incenses.”

Tang Xiu nodded and no longer inquired about the Qingcheng Daoist Monastery, and returned to their previous topic. “So, did Zhang Xinya really come to Qinglin County?”

“I don’t know whether she has come yet.” said the taxi driver. “The opening sale event of the Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze villa complex is to be held on June 28th, the day after tomorrow”

Tang Xiu nodded and turned his gaze to outside the window. He didn’t expect that he would visit this small county town at the same time as Zhang Xinya’s visit. He didn’t prepare to see her, nor did the villa complex interest him as he thought that it was best to avoid her if possible.

It was an emotional entanglement that he was afraid of. He knew that Zhang Xinya obviously had feelings for him. He even received tens of calls from her in recent months, each of which he perfunctorily dismissed her in using a few words.

Qinglin County, a famous and bustling Qimao City.
