Chapter 5: The Master's Residence is a Pit

  The entire Taoist temple was expanded nearly five times larger than before.

  All the land available at the exit of the valley where the Taoist temple is located has been fully occupied by the temple.

  The original Taoist temple address was renovated into a large hall, with two side halls on either side of the main hall. Due to the valley, one of the side halls is separated by a mountain spring creek, but in Master Liu's dynamic diagram, a sky pavilion is used to connect the side hall, which is quite wonderful and beautiful.

  Behind the side hall, there is a pond opened up by the former Taoist temple. It also disappeared in the dynamic diagram, not being filled up, but enlarged several times, directly extending into the canyon for hundreds of meters, looking like a river.

  The Spirit Medicine Garden in Jiang Le's request was built on both banks of the river, and it had expanded several times compared to the previous Spirit Medicine Garden.

  In addition, there is a pavilion built on the mountain, a row of simple and elegant courtyards for accommodation, as well as various living facilities.

  Of course, these are Jiang Le's automatic brain supplements based on Liu Shifu's dynamic diagrams.

  The entire imagined Taoist temple gave Jiang Le a feeling of grandeur and wonderfully ingenious construction.

  Such a Taoist temple is hundreds of times better than the one Jiang Yu thought of himself, just like the difference between a thatched hut and a villa.

  As expected, it's indeed a dry designer, and his idea is more brilliant than mine!

  Jiang Le couldn't help but secretly admire and even started to fantasize about himself in the future, taking this place as his foundation, and making their sect flourish. Just thinking about it was really exciting.

  But soon Jiang Le thought of a problem and asked in a hurry, "Master Liu, according to your idea? I'm afraid the cost of building this Taoist temple won't be cheap?"

  Liu Shifu glanced at Jiang Le and awkwardly smiled: "It's a bit more, all done well, at least 500 million, this is still the cheap building materials on the Qingyang City side, if it were in other developed cities, such a building would be completed, at least 2 billion or more."

  Jiang Le was caught off guard and completely flustered.

  Five hundred million?

  Are you setting this according to the standards of Wudang Mountain?

  Jiang Le couldn't help but cough a few times, and asked with an odd expression: "Why do you need so many?"

  Master Liu said weakly: "Because Le Shao, you once said that this building should be built in a way that is suitable and comfortable, don't be afraid to spend money, I think this is the best way, so..."

  I told you not to be afraid of spending money, but that doesn't mean you should treat it like toilet paper! You're ripping me off!

  "Alright, Master Liu, you're kind-hearted, but I may not be able to turn over such a large sum of money at once." Jiang Le said with a worried tone.

  There is a beautiful temple building in front of us, but Nima has no money to build it, it's so suffocating.

  Master Liu felt a sense of relief in his heart, not because he was dissatisfied with the design, but then he felt some joy, unable to turn around, it turned out that he had taken a liking to this design. This is a big order worth 500 million, and since the company's establishment, there have been only a few projects of this magnitude. Unexpectedly, in such a slack season, he encountered one!

  Is this an omen for the company's wealth?

  "No problem at all, Mr. Le Shao! Our company's motto is that as long as the customer is satisfied, we don't mind delays. I can help you set up a rough framework first, and then develop the main halls and mountain springs of the canyon. Later, when your funds are available, we'll come back to help you complete the next phase of construction." Master Liu patted his chest in guarantee.

  Jiang Le was stunned. After careful consideration, it seemed feasible. Take it slow, the sect would gradually improve, Rome wasn't built in a day, after all.

  "That's not bad, let's go with your idea." Jiang Le nodded and said.

  Master Liu was suddenly delighted, dizzy and his heart racing like thunder.

  His design has been reviewed by the company's top management, and basically no one thinks Jiang Le would be willing to take on this thankless job. They think Master Liu is out of his mind. A 500 million project. Their company can encounter one every few years, how could Jiang Le possibly be willing to spend 500 million playing with development in the wilderness?

  I didn't expect that my own design would actually pass, Liu Shifu can imagine, his status in the company will definitely be elevated again. It's awe-inspiring.

  "But Liu Shifu, I agree with your design. I also hope that you can get what you're worth, otherwise I'll be unhappy." Jiang Le said calmly.

  Liu Shifu's heart skipped a beat. Someone who could take out 500 million to play in the wilderness was absolutely not someone their company could afford to offend. He immediately turned serious and said, "Don't worry, Lao Shi, I do things with a clear conscience."

  Jiang Le nodded in satisfaction and continued: "Also, I have a few small requests that I hope your company can help me resolve."

  Liu Shifu hastily said: "You say, as long as it's not too difficult, I can agree with you right now."

  Jiang Le smiled and said: "The requirements are not many, just two. First, regarding the construction of this Taoist temple, your company cannot publicize it externally."

  Liu said: "This is no problem. I can guarantee you that we will build it as secretly as possible."

  "Secondly, this Taoist temple is not something that ordinary people can build. I've inquired about it and it requires quite a bit of paperwork. I think your company must have some connections in this regard?"

  Liu Shifu smiled: "Although I'm not familiar with the Taoist temple, but in this day and age, who can't get along without money? This is something I can also agree to. Within three days, all the procedures for Le Shao's Taoist temple will be completed."

  Mr. Liu's attitude made Jiang Le very satisfied. Although the procedure is not difficult, it is cumbersome and can save a lot of trouble if someone helps to handle it.

  "Liu Shifu is so generous, I also can't just talk without doing anything. How much money do we need to invest in the initial construction? Give me a number." Jiang Lehao said with a big stride.

  Master Liu said directly: "The basic construction of the main hall requires at least 150 million, and the expansion and renovation of the river channel also require 15 million. Adding some other renovations, the initial investment is 180 million."

  Jiang Le heard this and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

  1.8 million, that's also beyond one's own affordability, this Liu Shifu really took me for a rich family's young master.

  "Has the money been transferred? When can the project be completed?"

  "Two months."

  Jiang Le pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, tomorrow afternoon I will transfer 180 million to the Dao Guan project account. Two months later, I'll take over Dao Guan."

  After leaving the construction site of Taoist temple, Jiang Le was still a bit dazed.

  The construction of a school building actually requires so much money! The initial stage already needs 180 million!

  No wonder Master Mao Xiaofang knew that he was so dedicated to the sect's residence, he would silently help me draw symbols and do things, with a selfless and uncomplaining attitude. Nima, cultivating Tao is already worrying enough, this sect is even more worrying to death!

  But having come this far, Jiang Le wouldn't easily say give up.

  Let's not talk about the importance of a sect for now, so much has been invested already, it can't be said that giving up is just giving up, that would also be too unfair to the cultivator profession.

  Brother didn't believe it, in this era where cultivators are scarce, could it be that he would still roam the world with his master like before, poor to the point of only having a single treasured item passed down from their sect.

  Back at the antique shop, Jiang Le saw her mother, Jiang Hua, sitting expressionlessly on a stone table, not even blinking.

  "What's wrong, Mom?" Jiang Le's heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

  Jiang Hua turned his head and saw that it was his son Jiang Le, the focus of his eyes finally converged a bit, and he said in an excited tone: "All sold out, all sold out."

  Jiang Le speechless, what all sold out? Eh, could it be?

  Jiang Le's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mom, have all the talisman accessories been sold out?"

  Jiang Hua nodded, his voice trembling: "500,000 yuan, and you didn't even haggle over the price, just selling them all out. What's so special about these accessories that they sell so well?"

  Jiang Le couldn't help but smile, of course, it was because of his son's skills.

  However, these guys are quite good at identifying goods and actually bought all the goods. Are they going to resell them at a high price?

  I went and it seems I set the price too low, should have been higher.
