The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 868 Bastard Pan Chengfeng

Nanzhou Pilgrimage City, Fu Lai Lin Inn.

In the guest room, a handsome man who looked very similar to Murong Fu was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Guan He was Pan Chengfeng's earliest younger brother, and now one tenth of his soul is still in Pan Chengfeng's hands.

After receiving the message from Pan Chengfeng, he rushed from Luchao City to Pilgrim City without stopping.

He was now feeling a little scared and excited. He hadn't seen Pan Chengfeng for many years, and suddenly received a message from Pan Chengfeng, asking him to come to the Pilgrimage City to meet him.

The five brothers used to be independent cultivators in Dongzhou. They had planned to make a fortune in the secret realm of Yougu, then retire and live a good life.

I didn't expect that this last deal would lead to my downfall. (For details, please refer to Chapters 125 to 127; I won't go into details here.)

Guan Ze, the younger brother behind him, rarely saw his brother like this, so he started to persuade him: "Brother, didn't you say that the young master came to see us just to ask about our development over the years? Why are you so nervous?"

Guan He looked handsome, frowned slightly and said: "I thought so, but now the monks from various states are gathering in the Holy City, I am worried that the young master will ask about the situation here..."

Guan Ze understood and also worriedly said: "We are far away in Luchao City and don't know the situation here. The young master shouldn't blame us, right?"

Guan He sighed and said, "Over the past thirty years, although our Juyi Villa has become somewhat famous, it is still not worth mentioning in the entire Nanzhou. I wonder if the young master..."

Halfway through his words, Pan Chengfeng walked in cheerfully and said, "Are you worried that I won't be satisfied?"

Pan Chengfeng strode into the guest room, followed by a pretty young woman.

Guan He and Guan Ze quickly knelt down and said, "Subordinates pay their respects to the Young Master."

Pan Chengfeng sat down and said, "Get up. Good! Guan Ze has also broken through to the Spiritual Transformation stage. His foundation is solid. Very good~"

Guan Ze quickly bowed and said, "It's all thanks to the young master's cultivation. I am deeply grateful."

Guan He quickly flattered him, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, young master. I miss you so much~"

Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "What is this 'Juyi Villa' you were talking about just now? Tell me about it~"

Guan He quickly replied, "Juyi Villa was built by the five of us brothers. According to the young master's wishes, we have been trying to make friends with the independent cultivators in Nanzhou. Now, there are already several thousand independent cultivators who have a good relationship with our villa."

Pan Chengfeng lowered his head and calculated secretly. It has been thirty-five years. It is quite good to be able to develop to this level.

Guan He and Guan Ze saw Pan Chengfeng keeping his head down and saying nothing, and thought that Pan Chengfeng was dissatisfied.

Guan He quickly explained, "Young Master, the five of us brothers are outsiders. It took us several years to get the monks in Luchao City to accept us..."

Upon hearing this, Pan Chengfeng knew that Guan He and the others had misunderstood. He waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. You have done very well. Now all five of you have reached the state of Divine Transformation, right?"

Guan He replied with a sad face, "My third brother failed to break through and died.

Now, in the villa, besides the four of us who are in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm, we have also hired three other Spiritualization Realm Daoists to take charge..."

Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "Guan Xi died? What a pity! It's really hard for you.

I was able to gain a foothold in Luchao City during the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation, and I also made friends with many cultivators. The four of you have made an invaluable contribution~"

Guan He and Guan Ze heard this, their eyes reddened as they said, "This is what our subordinates should do."

Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "I called you here today because I wanted to see you first and see your cultivation level.

Secondly, of course I have to ask how you are doing with the tasks assigned to you. It seems that you are doing a good job now.

One last thing~"

Guan He and Guan Ze hurriedly bowed and waited for Pan Chengfeng's instructions.

Pan Chengfeng waved and said, "Huanhuan, come here."

Huan Huan, who had been standing nearby, quickly came over, bowed and said, "Sir~"

Pan Chengfeng suddenly thought of something and asked, "Huanhuan, is this your name?"

It was obvious from the name that they didn't come from a respectable family, and it was most likely not Huanhuan's real name, so Pan Chengfeng asked this question.

Huan Huan replied, "This name was given to me by 'Mom'. My surname is Qin and my given name is Shu Rou."

"Qin Shurou?" Pan Chengfeng said with a smile, "What a nice name! I'll call you Shurou then. Shurou, please meet these two fellow Taoists."

Qin Shurou quickly bowed to Guan He and Guan Ze and said, "Shurou greets the two seniors~" The two also quickly returned the greeting and said, "Greetings, Fairy Qin~"

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Okay, you two now know each other. As for Shu Rou... I accidentally saved her.

Her family has already suffered, and it is inconvenient for me to take her with me, so I plan to place her with you. What do you think, Guan He?"

Guan He hurriedly said, "My place is very spacious, and arranging a place for Fairy Qin to live is a piece of cake. Does the young master have any other instructions?"

Pan Chengfeng said happily, "Very good!" Then he threw out a storage ring and said, "Here are some resources, techniques, and elixirs. Take them and develop Juyi Villa well. I have confidence in you."

Guan He quickly caught the ring and probed inside with his spiritual sense. His jaw dropped in shock and he trembled, "Young Master, this is too much. I really can't accept it."

What Pan Chengfeng gave was one of the three rings of Leihuo Sect, which contained 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, 5 million medium and low-grade spirit stones, and 70 billion high-grade crystal beads.

In addition, the Leihuo Sect also collected some skills, techniques, elixirs, etc. It can be said that all the resources of a mid-to-low-level sect were given to Guan He.

Most of these things are useless to Pan Chengfeng, and he only kept the secret method for himself.

As for the spirit stones, crystal beads and pills, they are only enough for Pan Chengfeng to cultivate to a few small realms, but for others, it means seeing the hope of refining the void or even fusion.

Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "These things are not given away for free. You should try to win over the cultivators from all over Nanzhou. Be generous and don't save money for me.

You guys should also practice well, by the way, Guan He~"

Pan Chengfeng paused halfway through his speech, and Guan He quickly bowed and said, "I'm here~"

Pan Chengfeng asked, "How does Juyi Villa make a living?"

Guan He said a little embarrassedly: "We have a Yaoyan mine. Usually we mainly sell Yaoyan ore, and we also accept some commissions to deliver goods."

Pan Chengfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Yaoyan ore? How much is that thing worth?"

Yaoyan ore, the most common ore, is the most common material for refining and construction.

It is the cheapest and most common material, and its availability is not much better than the rocks on the mountain. In short, it is something that is both abundant and cheap.

Guan Heshuai showed a trace of guilt on his face and said: "We don't have the strength to compete with the noble families in Lu Chaocheng for those high-value mines, so we can only take these minerals that no one wants.

But rest assured, young master, with the resources you have given me, I will be able to purchase several mines next time, and Juyi Villa will surely develop rapidly."

Pan Chengfeng shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Don't get involved in these mines. It's too troublesome and you have to hire people to guard them.

Let me introduce you to two businesses. Juyi Villa only needs to buy some shops and manage these two businesses well, and it will be enough to cover its expenses."

Guan He was delighted when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "What kind of business does the young master plan to have his subordinates run?"

Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Wine and tea~"

Guan He was delighted at first, then smiled wryly and said, "Young Master, I know these two industries are the most profitable, but I just don't have the connections.

Furthermore, these two businesses in Lu Chaocheng are firmly controlled by the Wu and Qian families. Anyone who dares to get involved will surely suffer the consequences.

Pan Chengfeng pointed at Guan He's storage ring, which he hadn't put away yet, and said, "What are you going to do with all these resources? Just throw money at them! Hire a few more thugs! The higher their cultivation, the better! I don't believe we can't recruit them!"

Guan He replied, "But those two families have cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in charge. If you want to compete with them, you must at least hire three or four seniors at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

Pan Chengfeng rolled his eyes and said, "Are there no Void Refining cultivators in the Nanzhou sects who come out to earn extra money?"

Pan Chengfeng knew that in Dongzhou, many brothers in the Yu Lei Sect who had reached the Refining Void stage would go out to earn extra money, otherwise when they reached the Refining Void stage, the money given by the sect alone would not be enough to spend.

If the Yu Lei Sect is like this, he doesn't believe that the Void Refining cultivators of the Nanzhou Sect will be any different.

Guan He replied, "Yes, there is, but it requires connections. Young Master, please allow me to think about it."

Guan Ze on the side reminded him, "Brother, didn't we meet a fellow Taoist a few years ago? He said that a relative of his uncle's son's friend was a deacon in the Sword Sect. He was really bragging.

Or we can ask him if there are any seniors in the Sword Sect who are willing to come to Juyi Villa to offer sacrifices?"

Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Go and ask them quickly. If they don't want to come, it means the crystal beads you gave them are not enough. Don't be stingy, just use money to attract them~"

Guan He quickly bowed and said yes, then asked, "But I really don't know how to deal with wine and tea..."

Pan Chengfeng interrupted, "Go to Licheng in the Great Zhou Kingdom of Dongzhou and ask the Zhong and Hua families to buy goods. The Zhong and Hua families are both my people. As long as you say that I sent you there, I can give you a certain amount."

Pan Chengfeng fumbled around his body for a long time but couldn't find any token that could represent him.

Finally, after thinking for a while, he took out a blank jade slip, wrote a few words on it, then stamped his soul mark on it, threw it to Guan He and said, "Just take this thing."

Guan He took the jade slip, his hands trembling a little. Thinking that he could also run a wine and tea business, his heart started beating fast.

Even though it only deals in wine and tea, there are so many things that can be done in it, such as making friends with higher-level families and sects, and having bargaining chips to use when asking people for favors, which instantly increases the power of speech by several levels.

Pan Chengfeng stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. It's time for me to go back."

As Pan Chengfeng turned around, the beautiful girl Qin Shurou suddenly called out timidly, "Master~~"

Pan Chengfeng paused, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qin Shurou knelt down with a plop and said, "Thank you very much, sir, for giving me a new life~" Just as she was about to kowtow, Pan Chengfeng quickly raised his hand and helped Qin Shurou up, saying, "Silly girl, practice well when you get there. Don't practice that technique anymore. It's not good for you."

Then he looked at Guan He and said, "Find her a good and suitable martial art. She should receive a good annual salary and an easy job. Otherwise, meditating all day will be quite boring."

Guan He quickly bowed and agreed.

Looking at the little beauty with tears in her eyes, Pan Chengfeng couldn't help but pinch her pretty face and said, "I'm leaving~"

Pan Chengfeng strode out of the room, and the little beauty followed closely behind him. It was not until Pan Chengfeng left the inn that Qin Shurou shed tears and murmured to herself, "I will definitely wait for you."

Pan Chengfeng flew into the air and sighed, "Hey, what's going on? I was just doing a good deed, but I ended up provoking a good girl. What a jerk~~~"
