Her bright beautiful eyes gleamed as she looked over at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard the threshold for VIP qualification in Chen Tang City is extremely high.

The changes in Cangming Entertainment City should be noticeable after just over a month. Next, I need to go explain the situation to my Taoist companions and friends to prevent them from inadvertently leaking information when they encounter Master Sikong. I’ll take you to Chen Tang City later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Rou smiled brightly and nodded, she proceeded leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Tong Rou catch up with Li Lingyin and Sikong Lu, Li Jing exhaled and stepped forward, tearing the space apart, and appeared directly within the Cangming Entertainment City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stood still, he planned to find Yulian and the others quickly before Li Lingyin and the others that went slow and took some time to reach, but he turned to see Ji Qing and Blue Phoenix walking out of the Psychic Energy Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two, Li Jing was slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two who were walking out of the station also froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Ji Qing’s eyes brightened and she quickly walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Jing! You’re back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the radiant deity cat shopkeeper, Li Jing softly laughed, then asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were you and Senior Blue Phoenix doing in the Psychic Energy Station? Has there been a problem with the station?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, what could go wrong with the energy station?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Qing opened her mouth to comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, everything in Cangming Entertainment City has been running smoothly during your absence. The Blue Phoenix senior and I were just checking how well the first batch of trained employees in the energy station are doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing raised his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the energy station staff has been trained and started working. Presumably, all the staff in the entertainment city have also taken their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand opening of his Cangming Entertainment City won’t be too far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and Ayu have been working hard these days,\" he said with a smile, looking at the approaching Blue Phoenix, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Blue Phoenix, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Blue Phoenix gave a slight laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I find your Cangming Entertainment City quite interesting, there’s a lot of new things here,\" she said, pointing to the badge on her neckline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ayu needed my help and gave me the title of Manager.

We are going to focus on Chen Tang City soon, so for a short period, there won’t be many people around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what I was thinking as well. Chen Tang City is actually a bit deserted,\" said Blue Phoenix with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Zhenyuan Tower is quite interesting; it’s just that it’s not much use to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Phoenix’s real age is nearing tens of millions, so regardless of the increased time flow induced by the now inferior Taoist Zhenyuan Tower or even a genuine Taoist item, the effect on her wouldn’t be very significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that Li Lingyin and the other two would arrive soon, Li Jing didn’t chat further with Blue Phoenix. He looked at Ji Qing and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Ayu? There’s going to be a troublesome guest soon, and I need to explain some things to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ji Qing slightly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A troublesome guest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does such a \"rank\" exist in Li Jing’s eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking too much, she pointed at the office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ayu is in the top-floor office working on the opening plan. Now that Cangming Entertainment City is ready in all aspects, we need to prepare for the grand opening soon. The corresponding plan must be made in advance,\" she explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded and tore open a rift in space with a wave of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he walked into the rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Qing followed upon seeing this, and so did Blue Phoenix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the office on the top floor of the office building to find Yulian, Li Jing and the other two explained his \"karmic cause\" with Sikong Lu to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the details, Ji Qing and Yulian found it nothing strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was used to being inexplicably involved in matters related to non-humans and alien species, and enjoyed them; they were long used to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was the same when they were on Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fact that a certain peak Venerable was fooled into becoming a \"tool person\" for him left them both bemused and amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really dared to do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning about Li Jing’s recent experiences, Blue Phoenix couldn’t help but take a few more looks at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a full month since the events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that there were a large number of shadow demons causing havoc in the Cangming Realm and that an envoy from Donghua Immortal Palace had conducted a thorough cleanse against the shadow demons a month ago was no secret to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Blue Phoenix hadn’t expected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that the so-called envoy from Donghua Immortal Palace was actually Li Jing in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing must have had a reason for going through all of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reality in front of her was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Li Jing who had barely progressed to the early-middle phase of the Tenth Realm had stepped into the Eleventh Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Blue Phoenix take notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she wouldn’t pry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even to someone like Li Jing, she was a senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is basic common sense not to arbitrarily inquire about personal cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting the three of them, Li Jing did not remain in the top-floor office but immediately went to meet the doorman, Zhong Jian, and Longxu who had been assigned by Yulian to play the roles of internal security at the entertainment center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About the details...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only told the three of them that for the time being, he was not Immortal Lord Li, but Li Si.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s worth mentioning that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Entertainment Center was part of the pre-heating process of the imminent opening of Cangming Entertainment City, it had already begun to see a \"small number\" of guests two days prior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, there were quite a few guests in the entertainment center, enjoying and playing around, and there were many staff members walking around familiarising themselves with their duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-level cultivators sure learn quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those fortunate enough to come to the entertainment center during the warm-up period were those who had at least reached the Tenth Realm and had shelled out 500,000 top-grade Immortal Crystals to become junior VIP clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only the third day of the small-scale \"reception\" at the entertainment center, and these guests no longer need anyone to guide them on what to play or how to use the facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing glanced around briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the various services in the entertainment center, the casino was the most popular destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at those cultivators who were usually like superior beings from the Immortal Realm sitting at the gambling tables and becoming gamblers, playing various games like Pai Gow, Blackjack, Roulette, and so on, Li Jing felt quite complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just on the third day of warming up, these gamblers were already extremely professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they all behave themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t use any of their divine abilities, and even greatly closed off their senses, relying solely on their luck to gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people gamble big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was placed on the table were not individual Immortal Crystals, but various Enclosed Crystal Rings and precious Spiritual objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what can be seen now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is feared that before long, there would be a large group of gamblers who rely on gambling for a living in the Cangming Domain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most astonishing aspect\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the junior VIP status that Yulian implemented in addition to the VIP guests. It’s as if she’s digging up another fortune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An estimated 500 people or more are currently enjoying in the entertainment center, meaning that Cangming Entertainment City has earned at least 250 million top-grade Immortal Crystals, and it can only be more, not less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t stay long in the entertainment center. He quickly returned to Yulian’s CEO office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he returned, he found Ji Qing and Blue Phoenix had already left, with only Yulian busying herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a situation made his eyes light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been quite a while since he arrived at the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Sisi, Chen Yuran, and Jiang Yini went to the Blessed Paradise and never came back; he couldn’t even see them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself was busy all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not being alone anymore and sweeping the front door snow but sitting on a large Chen Tang City, it was tough to find a chance to initiate some \"exercises\" beneficial for physical and mental health between Taoist Companions when the only one he could see at any time was Yulian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his bone age had exceeded ten thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His actual age was still in the prime of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a Dao Companion wouldn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had Dao Companions, and not only one. Saying that he didn’t remember them would definitely be a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian glanced up at Li Jing tearing through the space to return, then gently stroked her hair and spoke with a criticizing tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could you knock before you come in next time? This is an office after all. I may be discussing business with someone and it’s not convenient to interrupt. Even if you are proficient in the rules of space, you should leave some privacy for others...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Li Jing nodded like a pecking chick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, I’ll be careful next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he walked up to the desk and pulled Yulian towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could react, Spatial Displacement came calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, she and Li Jing were already on Canglong Mountain in their Little Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian was not a naive little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had plenty of experience early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly being pulled to a different location, how could she not know what Li Jing wanted to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annoyed, Yulian turned her head and lightly chided,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you not make a fuss? I still have work that isn’t done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay to put off work. The progress of the entertainment city is fast enough. There’s no need to rush,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the routine of marketing, isn’t there such a thing as hunger marketing? In my opinion, we can keep the people of the Cangming Domain on tenterhooks for a while longer, sell more junior VIPs during the ’warm-up’, and get those who have become junior VIPs to do some promotion for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was never good at serious work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And business was even less his cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sometimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must admit he knows quite a lot, with a particularly clear thought process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like right now when he needs an excuse...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing one of his claws stealthily making its way to her slender waist, Yulian fell silent before turning her head and holding up a jade finger,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s get this straight. Just for tonight. The opening can wait but there’s still a lot to be done...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Li Jing nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.
