Chapter 600: More Ascension

"Here are the documents." The boss of the beef noodles shop handed over a stack of documents.

Lin Xuan Qi read it carefully for any discrepancies and signed it after he made sure that everything was in order.

When he was done, a familiar sound erupted in his mind and information panels with words appeared in it.

[Congratulations to host for procuring new property.]

[Host is unbeatable within its compound.]

[Bonus of 50 Five-Element Stones delivered.]

[Keep up the good work!]

The reward for procuring the property was the same as usual.

But it was welcomed nevertheless.

There was a need for more Five-Element Stones for him and the others to cultivate.

And right now with the Natal Puppet, he could put in even more of the Five-Element Stones into it to power the Natal Puppet.

"Thanks so much. I will wait for your good news soon." Lin Xuan Qi handed the documents back to the boss and said.

The boss was full of smiles and said, "Heh. I will get it done. And I’ll update the information in the registrar and return the documents to you later."

He glanced at his men and they quickly came over to the chest of gold ingots, closed it and carried it by the handles on the sides of the chest.

"I shall not walk you to the gate as I have other matters to attend to. Xiu, show this master the way to the gate." Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hand at the boss and said.

"Yes, Master Lin." Xiu nodded at him and she led the boss and his men out of the main hall.

The first step of his plan had started and there was no going back now.

Lin Xuan Qi stayed in the mansion to cultivate for a few days before the boss came back with good news.

The other nineteen owners were more than happy to sell their houses and shops in the area surrounding Zhao Geng Nian’s residence.

Most of them asked for eighty-five to ninety taels of gold for it, which was within his budget and the market price.

So, he was fine to go with the price they had asked for.

And even though it was a hefty sum of money, the sense of doing something actively to counter whatever the Qing Feng Sect was planning to do was well worth the price for him.

This was not all.

There were other good news for him.

Xue Cong and the others also ascended in their cultivation.

Three of them, namely Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Liu Shi Shi, were now at Qi Concentration Level Perfected Stage.

With Liu Shi Shi ascending to Foundation Establishment Level anytime soon.

Only Yue Xin was relatively behind them at Qi Concentration Level Refined Stage.

Even though they didn’t have to fight so far, he rather they be prepared and ready.

Other than that, he needed them to ascend as much as possible so that they would be with him much longer with the expansion of their lifespan when they ascended to the next level.

With such good news lightening up his mood, he was motivated to start with the building of the shopping mall to surround Zhao Geng Nian’s Residence.

"Father-in-law, I will have to ask for your help again." Lin Xuan Qi said and Old Shao was expecting it.

He nodded his head at him and said, "It’s for the so-called shopping mall you told me about earlier?"

"Yes, father-in-law." Lin Xuan Qi replied.

"Wait for a moment," Old Shao said and searched around the cupboard in his room.

"Ah, here it is." He took out some drawings from within the cupboard and showed them to Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the drawings and they were the detailed design plan for the shopping mall.

There were plans on how to connect the shops by breaking down which walls and what to do for the walkways in between the streets that separated them.

Old Shao knew how he was and he had prepared for this eventuality ever since he heard about the idea from Lin Xuan Qi.

"Same thing. I will need temporary labor for this like what we did for the arena." Old Shao said and Lin Xuan Qi gave him a nod.

"Get all the help that you need."

...

Next day.

Work for the shopping mall started.

Old Shao’s team went to the site and they brought in the materials that were required.

There were beams of wood required and many smaller items that were transported to the site.

Thankfully, with the shops and buildings that he had purchased being vacated, all the items that must not be drenched wet by the rain could be put inside them first.

The open spaces and areas between the buildings and streets were used for storing the materials that were water-safe.

Old Shao got a team of a hundred men as temporary labor to start work on it.

All the movement and commotion caught the attention of the Qing Feng Sect disciples that weren’t too far away.

"What are you doing!" One of them who came over to check shouted at Old Shao and the others.

Old Shao and his men stopped and Old Shao glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.

In Old Shao’s mind, it was best to not anger these cultivators.

Especially when they were working with the Governor and the emperor.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head at Old Shao and stepped forward.

He cupped his hands at the Qing Feng Sect disciples and said, "I’ve bought over these properties to expand my businesses.

"I am going to build a place where everything that you need could be purchased within a location, making it convenient for the servants serving their masters around the area.

"We will be refurbishing this place and it might cause some noise and disturbance, so I hope you can understand, master cultivator."

The Qing Feng Sect disciple frowned and glanced at the men that were looking at him.

They were all drenched in sweat and with their building materials and tools in their hands, they did indeed look like they were going to refurnish the place.

But he wasn’t going to let it off easily and said, "I shall inform my senior martial brother... Wait here."
