Chapter 34

……

After fooling Salas and confirming the subsequent split of the protection fees, Nan Feng held Tang Yuehua and left Salas's office area, returning to his own Elder reception area.

"Five hundred thousand in stable income a year... not enough!"

Nan Feng was very dissatisfied with this amount of capital.

Money is in a state of circulation. The so-called claim that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect controls nearly half of the entire continent's wealth does not mean they have that much cash on hand, but rather that nearly half of the entire continent's economy is controlled by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Damn! Awesome! If it weren't for the martial soul defect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, the one with the most hope of unifying the world on the Douluo Continent shouldn't be Star Luo, nor the Spirit Hall, but the damn Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

The world of martial arts isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and worldly wisdom! Whether they are Spirit Masters or ordinary people, everyone has to live. Violence is ultimately not long-lasting, and excessive violence is equivalent to cutting off one's own future. The reason Qian Daoliu has hesitated to unleash his subjective initiative as a ninety-ninth-level Peerless Douluo is precisely because he fears this point.

It would be simple for Qian Daoliu to rely on his own martial power to kill until no one dared to speak, but what about after that? After he was ranked as an Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall, through the solicitation of Jin E, he was able to access some of the Spirit Hall's past information.

One point among them was very critical: not every Grand Elder can reach the ninety-ninth level!

Although God Trials can be a cheat, one must pass the trial to get the reward! Moreover, God Trials are risky; the possibility of killing oneself during the trial is not non-existent.

Qian Daoliu is the most outstanding Grand Elder the Spirit Hall has had in a thousand years. If he really played dirty, quietly wiped out all the high-end combat power of the major sects, and unified the Spirit Hall's voice in the Spirit Master world, then without the interference of these major Spirit Master forces, even if the Spirit Hall forcibly went to the two great empires and made them worship it as the state religion, and then slowly took control, it would be very feasible.

The problem is, this method has a risk.

A grudge spanning a hundred generations can still be avenged!

By referring to the Clear Sky Sect that lost Tang Chen, one can guess Qian Daoliu's concerns.

He does have the ability to speedrun, but speedrunning has risks.

What if the descendants of the Qian family are not up to the task? What if, during the period of that incompetent descendant, a genius with talent as peerless as Tang Chen appears? Then the Spirit Hall would suffer a great disaster.

The strength of one person can only bring temporary glory; only the strength of an organization can continue the brilliance for longer.

The Spirit Hall has been able to develop into the force it is today not because of how awesome the Grand Elder is, but because they have been winning over other Spirit Masters from the very beginning.

Violence is a good thing, but it cannot be used blindly.

"Miss Yuehua, are you hungry?" Nan Feng asked.

The little bunny Tang Yuehua lay listlessly on the table, not responding.

Seeing this, Nan Feng patted the little bunny's head, a flash of light passed, and Tang Yuehua turned back into human form.

Then, whatever posture the rabbit had been lying on the table in, Tang Yuehua was now in that same posture.

"Nice figure," Nan Feng praised.

It still has to be a grown woman's figure; the figure of a little brat like Hu Liena is not interesting at all. Cuteness is not worth mentioning in front of sexiness.

Tang Yuehua suddenly came to her senses, rolling and crawling off the table. Always cold and polite, she really wanted to curse at this moment.

Bastard!! Although she was turned into a rabbit, all her senses were normal!

This guy would stroke her head, then her back, and then reach his hand into her arms!! "If you want to curse, just curse; no need to hold it in," Nan Feng said.

"It's not worth it to hold it in and hurt yourself."

"Beast!!" Tang Yuehua turned around in shame and anger, with her back to Nan Feng.

"Tsk," Nan Feng shook his head.

A lady from a noble family is indeed a lady; even her cursing is light and airy, without the slightest bit of lethality.

Unlike those shrews he had seen before? If that audio were put online, it would probably be beeped from start to finish!

"Are you hungry?" Nan Feng asked again.

"If you're hungry, let's go eat together; if you're not..."

"You treat me to a meal; I'm hungry."

Tang Yuehua, who was just about to refuse, was stunned. "I treat you?"

No, where do you get the nerve?! "What, you're not willing?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

Tang Yuehua's expression stiffened. "Willing!"

Gritting her teeth!

"Willing is good." Nan Feng stood up and walked straight ahead.

"I'm sure you saw it just now; I'm a person who doesn't like to force others. If you're not willing, just say it boldly."

"Really?"

"You can try."

"..." Tang Yuehua.

Shameless bastard!!

……

Qibao Zhai. As the name suggests, this is an industry under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and also the most high-end dining place in Tiandou City.

"How is the taste of the food here?" Nan Feng asked, following behind Tang Yuehua.

"Not quite sure, it should be good," Tang Yuehua said without looking back.

"When Yuexuan was just built, Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gave me a VIP card for this place, but I've never been here."

"VIP card?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

"What's the use?"

Tang Yuehua recalled, "It seems it can be used for discounts, and there are some other treatments, I'm not too sure, I've never used it."

While speaking, a beautiful older sister, who should be the manager here, walked towards the two of them.

"Pavilion Master Yuehua, your visit is an honor," the female manager said with a smile.

"Please follow me."

Tang Yuehua nodded, didn't say much, and followed.

As a country kid who hadn't seen the world, Nan Feng naturally didn't say much either.

Before long, the female manager led the two to a high-end private room upstairs.

"Please wait a moment." The female manager waved her hand, and several maids who had followed them at some point walked into the room and began to serve tea and pour water.

Tang Yuehua waved her hand, and the female manager took the maids and left the room.

"Aren't you ordering?" Nan Feng asked.

"Already ordered," Tang Yuehua didn't really want to bother with Nan Feng.

"When?" Nan Feng asked suspiciously.

Tang Yuehua picked up the tea and took a light sip. "Just now."

Seeing that Tang Yuehua didn't want to talk, Nan Feng didn't ask any more questions, picked up the tea, and took a sip. "Hmm? This tea tastes... so awesome!"

The corner of Tang Yuehua's eye twitched. "This pot of tea, if sold outside, costs ten Gold Spirit Coins."

"Ten Gold Spirit Coins?" Nan Feng was dumbfounded.

This pot of tea is Yu Xiaogang's monthly subsidy!

"Then how much does a meal cost?" Nan Feng asked curiously.

"It depends on the specifications. We are at the highest specification here. A meal... starts at a thousand," Tang Yuehua said.

"But this place isn't used for eating."

"Could it be used for underground transactions?" Nan Feng asked.

"Pretty much." Tang Yuehua subconsciously refilled Nan Feng's hot tea.

"Thank you." Nan Feng nodded.

The corner of Tang Yuehua's eye twitched.

This bastard is actually quite polite.

"This place is used for business negotiations," Tang Yuehua said.

"Within the Heaven Dou Empire, transactions between the Eight Great Families and major Spirit Master forces are basically discussed here."

"Because here, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a guarantee, no one dares to renege, and everyone feels at ease."

"So the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has high credibility?" Nan Feng said.

Tang Yuehua nodded. "In business, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possesses credibility that surpasses the Eight Great Families and the two great empires."

"What about the Spirit Hall?" Nan Feng asked.

Tang Yuehua looked at Nan Feng suspiciously. "It seems you don't know much about the Spirit Hall to be able to ask such a question."

"What do you mean?" Nan Feng asked suspiciously.

"The Spirit Hall has almost no credibility in business," Tang Yuehua said.

"For example, how much this pot of tea sells for, how much is split, if it's a transaction with other forces, it's traded according to what's written in the contract discussed, both sides can benefit, and it's a long-term relationship."

"But if you trade with the Spirit Hall, it's one thing when discussing, another thing when actually doing it, and yet another thing when reconciling accounts afterwards."

The corner of Nan Feng's eye twitched. "So dark?"

Tang Yuehua's eyes were strange. "You really don't know?"

Isn't the overbearing nature of the Spirit Hall a well-known fact?
