Chapter 182: Green Mountain Residence Welcomes Guests (1/2)
There were wooden buildings, solid wooden tables, chairs, and furniture. The carvings were vivid and lifelike.
The mortal kingdoms might require labor, wealth, and bones. Things that could only be built after several years to more than a decade were completed by a Golden Core cultivator with a pat on the ground.
The Nine Nether clone had the support of Jiang Li's Surging Spirit Technique, and its main body was still staying in the coffin space with a high concentration of spiritual qi.
Even if it was the output of a Golden Core cultivator, it was enough to completely withstand this situation. The spiritual qi in the clone's Golden Core did not even deplete much.
After two consecutive large-scale spells, a group of wooden buildings appeared in the inner and outer cities.
This was the prototype of the Nine Nether clone's business empire.
With land and housing, he still needed employees to provide basic services.
As a dignified Golden Core cultivator, he naturally could not personally receive guests. However, after recruiting people, he had to train them and raise them. He also had to prevent them from discovering his secret. Just thinking about it was a little troublesome.
Fortunately, he had foresight. Wasn't there a group of well-trained and outstanding employees in the coffin?
With a wave of his hand, he scattered a bunch of seeds and turned them into medium-sized humanoid wooden puppets. Jiang Li selected 300 clever Ghost Market ghosts and threw them into these wooden puppets. He then supplemented them with talisman papers, artificial human skin, and illusion techniques.
Under the lead of the Ghost City Lord, Qin Shuman, a team that could endure hardships and needed no salary was basically formed here.
In any case, the procedures had already been settled in advance. Jiang Li, who lacked money, announced the opening of the store without hesitation.
The Dao title that the Nine Nether clone casually gave itself was Green Mountain Ascetic. Therefore, these spirit gathering facilities were collectively called the Green Mountain Residence.
The actions of a Golden Core cultivator naturally attracted the gazes of many cultivators.
From the moment the buildings rose from the ground, the terrifying spiritual qi that soared into the sky had already attracted a large number of cultivators to watch.
”Old Nine, you're well-informed. Do you know what's going on?”
”I don't know either, but I was fortunate enough to see the lord who created this wooden building a few times. Let me tell you a secret, that lord has a golden token from the Nightless City hanging on his waist!”
”Gasp! Golden token, Golden Core cultivator!”
”Yes, I wonder what this lord wants to do by creating this wooden building.”
Outside the wooden door, a large group of cultivators were gathered. They pointed at the door and speculated.
”Look, there's some movement!”
A cultivator suddenly cried out in alarm. In the next moment, a sapling suddenly broke through the soil in front of the wooden door and grew into a welcoming tree that was more than ten meters tall.
”There are words on the tree. This is the… Green Mountain Residence!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Green Mountain Residence slowly opened. The traditional and sweet-looking Qin Shuman led the 36 female puppets out to welcome the guests.
”I am Qin Shuman, the servant of Lord Green Mountain Ascetic. I pay my respects to everyone.”
”Those who come are guests. The Green Mountain Residence welcomes everyone's arrival. If you don't mind, please come into my guest building.”
The female ghost, Qin Shuman, bowed and invited the cultivators present to come in.
Following her actions, the tree was instantly covered in gorgeous red flowers, as if it was welcoming guests with the female ghost.
Of the two Green Mountain Residences, the first to open was naturally the one in the inner city. As long as they became famous here, the Qi Refinement cultivators in the outer city would naturally move when they heard the news.
In the inner city, there were many Foundation Establishment cultivators and many Core Formation cultivators watching.
Among them, many people saw through the identity of the female ghost, Qin Shuman. However, no one wanted to proclaim justice and slay the ghost.
Behind Green Mountain Residence stood a Golden Core cultivator. If they caused trouble here, they would not get out unscathed.
The surrounding cultivators still did not understand what this Green Mountain Residence's business was, but it was impossible to openly kill people in this Nightless City. In any case, it was safe, so there was no harm in going in.
Soon, the first interested person appeared.
A Core Formation cultivator from a small sect took the lead to enter the Green Mountain Residence with the intention of getting close to the Golden Core cultivator, the Nine Nether clone.
However, as soon as he stepped inside, his expression changed.
”How generous!”
The Core Formation cultivator could not help but praise.
This door was only a step away, but the difference in the concentration of spiritual qi was actually two times!
Moreover, he could smell an expensive smell in the air. This was actually high-grade spirit stones releasing high purity spiritual qi!
This kind of high-quality spiritual qi was easier to absorb by cultivators and was more convenient and faster to refine. If used long-term, it could even continuously increase the strength of one's spiritual qi!
Although he was a Core Formation cultivator, he was only an elder of a small sect.
He had only used high-grade spirit stones to cultivate a few times in his life when he broke through to the next realm.
However, now, he actually discovered that someone was using high-grade spirit stones as a central air conditioner. This dealt a severe blow to his fragile heart, causing him to feel as if he had lived a dog's life.
The large group of cultivators outside saw this Core Formation cultivator stop moving after entering. He even sucked in the air fiercely, looking like he was greedily enjoying it.
It was obvious that the other party had encountered a good thing.
The other cultivators could not help but follow in.
When they entered, they were all stunned like the person in front.
What was Green Mountain Ascetic's background? Was he too rich?
At this moment, a strange scene appeared. In the Green Mountain Residence of Nightless City, a group of hundreds of cultivators stood at the entrance for a long time without moving.
Qin Shuman did not rush them. When she was thrown into the Yin Burial Coffin, she had lost her composure in shock. It was at least a hundred times worse than this group of cultivators.
They were surprised by her master's actions. What was so surprising about that?
It was not until a long time later that the few Core Formation cultivators were the first to react. They had come to Green Mountain Residence to visit as guests, so why were they standing outside the door?
The cultivators recovered from their shock and followed Qin Shuman and the ghost servants into the guest building.
They had already decided that they would stay for the night no matter what.
The first floor of this guest building was the reception hall. The second to third floors were the spiritual food and medicine dining area, the fourth to eighth floors were the shopping area, and the ninth floor was an auction house that had yet to be opened.
However, although this venue had everything arranged, there were not many stores. There was only a group of ghost servants who looked like merchants selling some ordinary and even cheap items.
Most of the shops here were still empty, presumably waiting for other forces and merchants to enter.
Everything revealed the simplicity and shortcomings of the initial period of creation.
Despite this, after they sat down, the tea served by the ghost servant maids was quite good.
The spiritual tea was fresh and fragrant, and it had a refreshing flavor. Although it was not an earth-shattering high-grade tea, it was probably something that was produced using high-grade spiritual qi.
This Green Mountain Ascetic wanted to create a city in the city! How would the City Lord of the Nightless City react when he found out?
