Chapter 62 Preparing to Open Shop
Outside the perimeter of Xingxing Gate, a pair of well-equipped gods with high-quality divine swords in hand and top-notch divine armor on their shoulders were patrolling around.
At this time, a handsome and extraordinary person standing in front of the team complained to his subordinates: "You say, our Xīn Xīng Gate has the support of the Void Holy God behind us. Who would dare to be rampant on Star Island? Moreover, there are still nine gods sitting in our Xīn Xīng Gate, and we have to patrol, isn't this a waste of effort?"
"Yes! The young master is indeed too brilliant!" The group of patrolling gods responded in unison, flatteringly praising him, a barrage of compliments pouring out, making the somewhat arrogant god feel elated. However, deep down, all the gods were filled with contempt: He's just got a good father, that's all, otherwise he's a total waste, if I had a powerful divine father like his...
Everyone knows that the god in front of them, with a face full of resentment and complaints, is called Ao Lan. His father is one of the gods in charge of protection, but recently he was beaten up by his teammate for hitting on a goddess on the Golden Avenue.
The result attracted the law enforcement team of Chenxingmen, and the offender, that is, this somewhat arrogant god, was taken away. Although the gods in the law enforcement team also knew that this young master-like god was the son of the guardian of the gate, they couldn't show favoritism under the watchful eyes of everyone, so they had to take him back to the gate for disposal.
As the son of the guardian of the gate, he spent his days idling away with some other young masters from the gate. However, after arriving at Starry Sky Island, his father specifically warned him to be careful and not act rashly on Starry Sky Island, in order to maintain the upright and just image of the Submerged Star Gate, lest they be caught by the many other powerful forces and become a target for attack. The other young masters from the gate were also one by one cautioned by their families to restrain themselves.
Now the Starry Sky Island is the most bustling place in the Desolate Wilderness, where gods, demons and monsters are mixed together. The beautiful goddesses, enchanting demon girls and charming monster girls who are rarely seen in peacetime have all appeared, shuttling between various shops, inns and some purchasing temples of gods. Various teams formed by gods and monsters have also appeared for the first time in front of major forces.
Yao Lan had also converged a lot, but recently he couldn't hold back anymore. As soon as he went out, he continued to look for some goddesses to watch, and as a result, a beautiful goddess in a team of gods caught his attention, and his romantic nature began to rise again.
At first, he wanted to hit on the goddess, but she completely ignored his advances. The blue screen's relentless pursuit enraged a hot-tempered man with a thick beard from the small team, who beat him up badly. After being taken back by the law enforcement team, his extremely angry father actually sent him to serve in the patrol team for ten years.
Ten years, just thinking about serving for ten years, for him who is used to being idle and lazy, these days have been filled with resentment and boredom. Some friendly friends even came to comfort him hypocritically, making him curse them to serve for thousands of years.
Yao Lan led the small patrol team to patrol on the square of the Chenxing Gate garrison. Suddenly, Yao Lan stopped and stared blankly at the sky, the divine soldiers behind him also looked up and were amazed.
Yang Le and the other two flew towards the Sunken Star Gate in the center of Xingkong Island after they came out of the Transmission Temple in the east.
As soon as he landed in front of the Xingxing Gate Square, Yang Le saw a small team of divine soldiers guarding him, staring at the two maids behind him with wide eyes. Especially the leader of the team, a pig-like face, with a hint of crystal clear drool at the corner of his mouth.
Having seen this scene many times, Yang Le had become immune to it. He looked at the towering building next to the Xingxing Gate Plaza and walked towards it with Xia Lin and Qiu Ming, a building called Jitutian Temple.
After a long time, Ao Lanping and the divine soldiers behind her also came back to their senses, chattering and discussing, unexpectedly seeing that stunning goddess, although they were wearing veils, but no one doubted the breathtaking beauty under the thin veil.
In the Starfall Gate, there are also many stunningly beautiful goddesses. However, those who aren't descendants of the gods are either handmaidens or servants. They can't help but be envious, yet they don't dare to move. Even the heavenly proud women and maidservants are extremely haughty in front of Ao Lan.
The azure-blue figure, still drooling with envy, suddenly came back to his senses and bellowed at the divine soldier behind him: "What's all the commotion about? Hurry up and patrol!"
As soon as I entered the millet hall, I saw a maid with a decent appearance walking over and saying, "Sir, is there anything you need us to serve?"
"This young master wants to set up a store in this golden zone, what are the procedures?"
The maid's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately became more respectful: "This noble sir, please follow me. To open a shop in the Golden District, you must negotiate with the Lord of the Manor."
Yang Le and others walked into the inner hall under the gaze of envy and jealousy from dozens of gods who were handling various affairs in the main hall.
Sitting on the wenge chair for a while, a middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard walked in. Seeing Yang Le's young master attire and two stunning maid servants behind him, he was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He sat down, clasped his hands together and said: "I am the master of Jitutu Temple, this divine friend, may I ask if you want to buy land in the Golden Zone of Xingkong Island and set up a shop?"
"That's right," said Yang Le.
"That... The middle-aged man of Inari Shrine had a thoughtful expression."
"Is there something wrong?"
"The Golden Belt is located in the central area of Xingkong Island, adjacent to the gathering place of gods, demons and monsters. The major forces of gods, demons and monsters have all entered this region, and some peripheral areas have been sold out, leaving only three plots of land for sale in the core area of the Golden Belt."
"What's the matter? Price isn't a problem." Yang Le asked with great patience.
"I won't hide it from you, within the core area of the Golden Territory, all the shops are opened by the Twelve Sacred Clans of the Primordial Wilderness and the Nine Great Heavenly Courts that guard the four seas. There's also the Wan Yao Alliance of the Eastern Divine Continent, the Ze Country of the Southern Lin Ze Continent, the Xie Mo Village of the Western Lin Yuan Continent, the underground ice palace of the Northern Wang Qin Continent, as well as the recently emerged Extreme Joy Island, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and the Evil Demon Island. These are all superpowers of the Primordial Wilderness. Of course, our Sunken Star Gate's managed territory is also one of them, which means that we're currently in the core area within the Sunken Star Gate. These shops are not only stores but also the residences of various major powers. Other great powers like imperial dynasties don't dare to open shops in this core region." The middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard slowly spoke to Yang Le.
"Oh, how much does it cost to buy out that piece of land in the core area?"
That middle-aged man initially thought that after saying these intimidating words, he would dispel the young man's attention. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be unaware of the relationship and was completely unbothered, apparently being quite reckless.
"We, the Xingxing Gate, have received the instruction of the Void Holy Spirit. We, the Xingxing Gate, have the right to manage and sell everything on Starry Island. On the land of Starry Island, generally speaking, those with strong capital are implementing buyouts. However, due to the high price of buyouts, a management fee must be paid every million years, which is difficult for ordinary gods to afford. Therefore, we also provide some rental services. In the three major settlements of gods, demons, and monsters, we have built many high-quality god temples and low-quality god temples for rent."
"As for the core area, buying a piece of land costs 500 million top-grade spirit crystals!"
"What," Xialin Qiuyue behind Yang Le couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The master of the Inatomi Palace saw Yang Le's nonchalant attitude towards the maids and knew that these two maids were favored by Yang Le, so he didn't mind.
"In the core area, we are actually building temples and mansions on every piece of land, saving a lot of trouble. They are all spiritual treasure-level temples with the wonderful function of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Whether it is super-strong defense or refining the temple's control over the attack, they are all worth the price. Moreover, in the Golden Territory, we have planned a concentric circle pattern within a million-mile radius. The core area of the Golden Territory refers to the innermost thousand-mile circular region in this concentric circle. At the center of the core area, the largest auction house in the history of Honghuang has been established - the Starry Sky Auction Temple, which can accommodate millions of gods and people entering the scene for simultaneous bidding." The temple master explained.
Then, the middle-aged master's hand waved, and a topographic map like a painting scroll appeared in front of his eyes, shining with a brilliant light like the Milky Way. As the starlight gradually drew closer, it seemed to be overlooking the entire core area of the Golden Territory from above, with buildings, terrain, and shapes vividly displayed on it.
"Pointing to three blank areas, he said: 'These are the plots of land in the core area that have not been sold yet. The one next to it is Tu Ba Tian Chao...'"
After the middle-aged master's detailed analysis, Yang Le waved his hand and a small ball appeared in his palm. Inside, starlight twinkled, with blue and red lights intersecting each other. He said, "It seems we're getting close to the area near the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance."
The middle-aged master's eyes flashed with insight, apparently seeing through the secret of this move, and actually compressed five billion top-grade spirit crystals into a small sub-dimensional space.
Handing over the space bead, his divine sense probed inside for a moment before he smiled and handed over a token: "This token is the pass to bypass the divine power seal outside the Temple Manor. After entering, just refine the temple's core Town Temple Stele and you'll be done."
Yang Le was also depressed in his heart, those top-grade spirit crystals were used up by him more than half of his stock at once.
Not long after Yang Le and the other two left, the middle-aged hall master hastily walked towards the temple group of Chen Xing Men.
