Chapter 2218

Now that the sect has money, Qi Xiong's first thought was to improve the disciples' treatment.

That day, the new disciples' treatment was announced.

Many disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect heard the news, each one overjoyed.

My goodness, this treatment is simply heaven-defying.

Exactly, it's no worse than the Heavenly Family or the Ultimate Bliss Palace.

Moreover, according to the Elders, this is only the treatment for Outer Door Disciples; once the Sect refines disciple levels later, the treatment for Inner Sect and Inner Disciples will be even higher.

I am the Sect's in life, and the Sect's ghost in death.

Don't pull me, I'm going to quit the family right now.

The excitement in many disciples' hearts cannot be concealed at all.

Especially those disciples of humble origins, their eyes lit up; never before had they dared to dream they could have such excellent cultivation conditions.

Just by lying around doing nothing each day, they receive a thousand immortal crystals, thirty immortal spirit pills, and various other benefits.

Is this the advantage of being a major sect disciple? Fragrant, truly fragrant.

Of course, the Sect offering such good conditions certainly comes with requirements; every quarter there will be an assessment, and disciples who fail will face corresponding punishment.

The disciples have no objection to this; every sect and family is like this.

After all, lying around all day taking so many cultivation resources yet making no progress in cultivation is obviously impossible; the Sect is not a charity.

In short, Qi Xiong's move not only made many disciples excited, but also raised their loyalty to the Sect to a higher level.

Now this batch of disciples is wholly devoted to the Sect, even those from the various great immortal clans are the same.

Moreover, the Dao One Immortal Sect has an advantage that no other sect possesses: the canteen.

Even though Ye Zhangqing is not in the Sect during this period, the canteen still supplies dry rations.

Although it cannot compare to freshly made food, after improvements it still makes many disciples reluctant to leave.

Indeed, having money makes things easy; with money in their pockets, the Dao One Immortal Sect presents a thriving scene.

On the other side, inside Wuji Xiancheng's San Shi San Lou.

Above the thirty-third floor, the highest level, this place is not open to the outside; it is where the senior occupants of San Shi San Lou reside.

It pierces the clouds, like a sheer mountain peak, towering into the clouds.

Standing by the window of this thirty-third floor, one can take in the entire Wuji Xiancheng at a glance, giving a feeling of overlooking all mountains as small.

At this moment, in one of the rooms, a middle-aged man, an old man, and the Elder from the Ultimate Bliss Palace sit together.

This middle-aged man is the manager of San Shi San Lou; he handles all major and minor affairs there on a daily basis.

He can be said to be the spokesperson for the mysterious owner of San Shi San Lou.

As for that old man, he is the legendary Immortal Chef of San Shi San Lou.

When the three gathered, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder slowly sipped tea, then spoke with a sinister tone.

Tsk tsk, that canteen is now unrivaled in the city; recently your San Shi San Lou's business has been taken away quite a bit, right?

The canteen's sudden rise indeed has a significant impact on San Shi San Lou.

After all, San Shi San Lou used to be the best in Wuji Xiancheng, naturally also the most expensive restaurant.

But now, the canteen's prices are higher than San Shi San Lou's, and the crucial point is that many people still go there.

And those cultivators who can afford to consume at the canteen, over eighty percent, used to be customers of San Shi San Lou.

One could say San Shi San Lou is the first to bear the brunt.

However, upon hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled indifferently.

What's the big deal? Business naturally has its ups and downs; whoever laughs last wins.

In response, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder replied.

That may be so, but who will end up laughing last?

Fellow Daoist, if you have something to say, just say it straight.

Faced with the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder's sarcasm, the middle-aged man simply opened the window and spoke frankly.

Since the other party came to the door voluntarily today, they surely aren't here just to spout nonsense; it'd be better to speak plainly.

Manager Nangong is straightforward, so I'll be straightforward too.

I, the Ultimate Bliss Palace, do not want to see the Dao One Immortal Sect's presence in Wuji Xiancheng; a bunch of barbarians are not worthy to share the immortal city with us.

Then does your Ultimate Bliss Palace dare to act? Huang Lao and Zuo Lao are not mere decorations.

Faced with that remark from the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder, the manager gave a cold smile, utterly unmoved.

San Shi San Lou naturally has its own information channels, so they have long known of the existence of Huang Lao and Zuo Lao.

This is also why they have taken no action in the face of the canteen's rise.

Even though the canteen has snatched away nearly eighty percent of their business, they remain unmoved.

Now, from the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder's perspective, wanting to drive out the Dao One Immortal Sect, the manager naturally does not believe it.

Although the other party is an Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder, compared to Huang Lao and Zuo Fu, they are utterly not on the same level—like ants.

Put it this way, even if they killed him, what could the Ultimate Bliss Palace do?

As for the manager's words, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder showed an indifferent expression, his smile undiminished.

Brother Nangong, if these words were mine, they'd naturally lack persuasiveness, but what if they were spoken by our clan's great ancestor?

Great Ancestor..........

Upon hearing this, the manager was stunned, muttering under his breath.

The Ultimate Bliss Palace's Great Ancestor is of the same stature as Huang Lao and Zuo Lao; if these words came from his mouth, they would naturally be entirely different.

Although the Ultimate Bliss Palace's Great Ancestor is said to be like a candle in the wind, the more so, in some respects, the more dread-inspiring he becomes.

Firstly, the Ultimate Bliss Palace's Great Ancestor can be said to be the longest-lived person in the current Immortal Realm.

From ancient times to the present, no one knows how many Suìyuè have passed.

To outsiders, the Grand Ancestor of Extreme Bliss Palace is full of mystery; even the news that his lifespan is short, many people do not believe.

After all, an existence of his level should not still be troubled by lifespan.

But over these many years, the Grand Ancestor of Extreme Bliss Palace rarely appears in the world, which also forces people to believe this rumor.

Furthermore, the probing and confirmation by the Heavenly Family and other major forces have made this matter spread and become more real.

But even if this is true, who would dare provoke a person on the brink of death?

That is someone who truly dares to fight to the death; and once the Grand Ancestor of Extreme Bliss Palace fights to the death, even Huang Lao and Zuo Lao would probably have to be wary.

So upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression changed.

But he did not immediately believe it; instead, he shifted the conversation and asked with a smile.

"How can I believe what your family says?"

This was said by an Elder of Extreme Bliss Palace, and it cannot be verified, so it is hard to convince people.

In response, that Elder of Extreme Bliss Palace did not answer with words, but instead took out an object from his bosom............
