Seeing the sudden appearance of Peacock Great Emperor, Daoist Guhong was surprised and happy. Nine Mountains Department Store was really a headache. Because of Heaven-Shaking Demon Emperor's previous experience, he did not dare to provoke Nine Mountains Sect, so he was in a dilemma.
The only way is Thunderclap Temple.
Western Continent was blocked by the barrier before, and he couldn't get in, so he felt naturally uneasy. Now that Peacock Great Emperor appears, could it be that Thunderclap Temple has released the barrier, or even Pure Land has been repaired?
Seeing his expectant expression, Peacock Great Emperor chuckled, shook his head and said, "Pure Land matter, it will take longer than previously expected, but I came back first."
Daoist Guhong's face fell, and his spirits were waning. What's the use of coming back alone?
How can you carry Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?
When Heaven-Shaking Demon Emperor died, you were the fastest!
"Pure Land Any other questions?"
"It's not a bad thing." Peacock Great Emperor said slowly, "World Honored One, this time, it can be said to be a blessing in disguise."
Daoist Guhong didn't quite understand.
"When Zheng Fa smashed Pure Land, he only thought that it ruined the Lord's important affairs, but he never thought that because of him, the Lord actually saw hope for further progress."
Daoist Guhong is becoming more and more puzzled.
"There is a big fortuitous opportunity hidden inside Pure Land. The World Honored One is currently in retreat for enlightenment. It will take more time and he will not be able to come out for a while."
"Big fortuitous opportunity? What fortuitous opportunity?"
Peacock Great Emperor chuckled and said enigmatically, "I have no chance to know the details, but the World Honored One said something before retreating -"
"What?"
"When he comes out of confinement, Dao Venerable won't have anything to worry about."
Daoist Guhong was stunned, as if he didn't understand what he said.
Of course he can understand, but he just can't believe it, but who is Dao Venerable?
Lu Mo Where does the confidence come from?
But looking at the expression on Peacock Great Emperor's face, he began to be dubious again, even a little uneasy. Lu Mo was Golden Immortal before, so he proposed the idea of Golden Immortal Council. Now that Lu Mo's strength has greatly improved, is he still willing to give such good conditions?
Seemingly sensing his uneasiness, Peacock Great Emperor added, "The Lord sent me here just for you Three Reclusive Immortals."
"For us?"
"Although fortuitous opportunity is big, it will take time for the World Honored One to get out of seclusion, but Nine Mountains Sect has to be guarded against."
Daoist Guhong's expression changed, a little surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Gu Hong, the World Honored One has a broad mind and will never forget your achievements, fellow Daoist."
Daoist Guhong felt clear in his heart. After Lu Mo advanced, his attitude toward them also changed somewhat - if he said he was trying his best to win over them before, now he wants to see their attitude.
There are only four forces in the world today.
Thunderclap Temple, Supreme Dao, Nine Mountains Sect, and their Three Reclusive Immortals.
Among them, the relationship between Supreme Dao and Thunderclap Temple is hard to say.
But Nine Mountains Sect and Thunderclap Temple are mortal enemies.
As for Three Reclusive Immortals, they are actually the weakest and will definitely defect to one of the other three parties in the end.
He has now inquired about the Nine Mountains Sect's situation. For Golden Immortal, Nine Mountains Sect's system is very restrictive.
There is no way he would commit himself to the Nine Mountains Sect.
Supreme Dao is a choice, but it's internally chaotic.
Only Thunderclap Temple and Golden Immortal Council are extremely to his liking. Now Lu Mo seems to have gone one step further, and the momentum is getting better and better.
Lu Mo This is the time to submit a petition.
On the other hand, Nine Mountains Sect is really developing too fast, and Lu Mo is afraid that he will stay in seclusion for too long and become a tiger.
Daoist Guhong glanced at Madam Thousand Mechanisms, a little hesitant. Peacock Great Emperor looked on with a smile, seemingly not in a hurry and very determined.
After a whole stick of incense, Daoist Guhong turned to look at Peacock Great Emperor and asked, "What does the World Honored One want me to do?"
Han Qi I have noticed that in the past few days, there are always some monks pointing and whispering at Nine Mountains Department Store's door, and they don't come in to buy anything. It's very strange.
Moreover, the number of such people was increasing day by day, which made him a little puzzled. He found a locally employed female receptionist and asked, "Have there been any changes in the city recently?"
The female cultivator's face changed slightly and she hesitated.
Han Qi's heart sank, knowing that something bad had happened, and it was obviously related to Nine Mountains Department Store.
He stared at the receptionist nun for a long time before he heard the other party hesitantly say, "There have been some rumors in the city recently."
"What rumors? About us?"
The female receptionist nodded.
Han Qi frowned and asked, "What is it specifically?"
"I dare not say."
The female receptionist hesitated again.
"But it doesn't matter."
"There is a rumor in the city that we Heaven-Earth Bank have been demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, and are preparing to take our Spirit Stone away."
"What did I think it was? Didn't these words appear a long time ago?" Han Qi relaxed a little, with a smile on his face. This was not the first day that these words appeared.
Nine Mountains Department Store has affected the livelihood of many people, and related negative rumors have never stopped, and Han Qi has also heard a lot.
But the prosperity of Nine Mountains Department Store makes many monks very confident.
"But this time it's different."
"What's the difference?"
"Yes----" the hostess did not smile, but whispered, "It was Madam Thousand Mechanisms who said it."
"What?"
When Han Qi heard Madam Thousand Mechanisms's name, his face immediately became serious.
How can a few monks with complaints compare to Madam Thousand Mechanisms?
As the actual manager of Strife-Free City, he is also Loose Immortal, and Madam Thousand Mechanisms can be said to be the second person of Strife-Free City.
The impact of her words would be great.
More importantly, why does Madam Thousand Mechanisms say this?
You know, unlike the major factions, Strife-Free City now only has two Dao Fruit. Madam Thousand Mechanisms can almost represent the attitude of the entire Strife-Free City, and its influence cannot be underestimated.
Han Qi immediately took out Comprehensive Mirror and sent a message to the door.
Before he received the reply from the door, Madam Thousand Mechanisms had already arrived!
She didn't come alone, and I don't know if it was intentional. She was followed by a large group of monks.
Han Qi's heart sank, but a smile appeared on his face and he stepped forward.
"Qianji High Immortal came to our store, what do you want to see?"
"I'm not here to buy anything today, I just want to do a favor for you, Director Han."
Madam Thousand Mechanisms was polite, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"Help?" The smile on Han Qi's face faded slightly, and there was a trace of confusion in his tone, "What can I help you Qianji High Immortal?"
Madam Thousand Mechanisms took out Comprehensive Mirror from his waist and said with embarrassment, "I Strife-Free City had a big expense recently. There is Spirit Stone in Heaven-Earth Bank. I want to withdraw it."
"How much?"
"All."
"This is not a small amount of money----" Han Qi felt cold in his heart. Strife-Free City is one of Heaven-Earth Bank's largest customers.
Madam Tianji's request put great pressure on Heaven-Earth Bank to reserve Spirit Stone.
What's more important is that Madam Thousand Mechanisms is so arrogant, followed by a large number of monks who are eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
Han Qi's hesitation made Madam Thousand Mechanisms reveal a hint of cunning on his face, and said, "What, are you having trouble?"
Han Qi calmed down, glanced at the restless monks, calmed his mind and said, "Qianji High Immortal, if you withdraw it now, the interest will be much less."
The interest in Heaven-Earth Bank is divided into fixed term and current term. The current term is naturally not that high, and there is no interest at all for sudden withdrawal.
"I can't help it." Madam Thousand Mechanisms sighed, seemingly helpless, "But aren't we in a hurry to use Spirit Stone and have to take it? Why, you Heaven-Earth Bank don't have Spirit Stone, right?"
As soon as she said this, the discussions among the monks behind her became even louder.
Han Qi said helplessly, "High Immortal, if you want to take Spirit Stone, of course we can, but the amount is really too big. Our bank does not have so much reserves now, so we have to transfer it from elsewhere."
These words obviously could not dispel the doubts of those monks. Han Qi could see that the eyes of those people looking at him were full of suspicion and distrust.
Unexpectedly, Madam Thousand Mechanisms seemed to be very considerate and said, "How long will it take?"
"In one month at most, I will transfer enough Spirit Stone from the Northern Continent major banks." Han Qi calculated in his mind and gave an accurate answer.
He is the general manager of Nine Mountains Department Store in the Northern Continent. He has a rough idea of Spirit Stone's reserves in various places, and he is very confident at this time.
"Then I'll wait a month."
Madam Thousand Mechanisms smiled and nodded, seeming to trust Heaven-Earth Bank. He didn't ask any more questions, and walked away slowly while shaking his body.
The monks who were watching the excitement also exchanged glances. They all seemed to have some inexplicable thoughts, and they still stayed outside Nine Mountains Department Store.
Han Qi looked at the backs of these people and frowned. A disciple of the Nine Mountains beside him muttered, "Madam Thousand Mechanisms is not embarrassing. It seems that Strife-Free City really needs to use Spirit Stone."
"No, it's not that simple." Han Qi picked up Comprehensive Mirror again. His face changed drastically when he saw it. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Madam Thousand Mechanisms's back.
Madam Thousand Mechanisms seemed to sense his gaze, and slowly turned back and smiled at Han Qi, charming and charming, with a hint of pride.
"Butler? What happened?"
Seeing his expression, the disciple beside him quickly asked.
"Not only Strife-Free City, Suspended Island and Beyond-Heaven Mountain are all requesting to extract Spirit Stone at the same time." Han Qi's voice was stiff.
"In one month, Heaven-Earth Bank will have to close its doors!"
Among the Watching Ripples Palace, Peacock Great Emperor laughed and said with great pride. He looked at Madam Thousand Mechanisms with a very admiring expression on his face. "You are quite clever."
Madam Thousand Mechanisms smiled faintly and said, "It is your great power, the emperor, that allows the three immortals to act together."
"It's a pity that I gave those Nine Mountains Sect people an extra month."
Peacock Great Emperor is still dissatisfied.
"The Emperor Mingjian, this matter cannot be solved overnight." Madam Thousand Mechanisms said, "I have calculated it. If only our family wants to withdraw money, Heaven-Earth Bank really has so many Spirit Stone."
"So much?"
"Although I said before that Heaven-Earth Bank was demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall, but in fact, they still have Nine Mountains Department Store." Madam Thousand Mechanisms explained in detail, "With Nine Mountains Department Store's income alone, it is not a problem to cope with my Strife-Free City family."
Daoist Guhong nodded slowly when he heard this, and explained to Peacock Great Emperor, "This is true, Nine Mountains Department Store is now the largest store in the Northern Continent, and it is full of the Northern Continent. It is not an exaggeration to say that daily profits are made."
"So you want to join forces with Suspended Island and Beyond-Heaven Mountain to take action?"
"No, I want to unite all the Northern Continent monks. In one month, enough news will be spread. More importantly, Heaven-Earth Bank will never be able to produce so many Spirit Stone within a month. By then, Heaven-Earth Bank will go bankrupt."
Peacock Great Emperor thought for a while and didn't understand why Madam Thousand Mechanisms was so sure.
Madam Thousand Mechanisms looked a little proud and explained, "Heaven-Earth Bank's biggest weakness is actually only one."
"What?"
"Nine Mountains Currency can be freely exchanged for Spirit Stone!" Madam Thousand Mechanisms explained, "But we can exchange spiritual materials for Nine Mountains Currency."
"In other words, many monks' savings in Heaven-Earth Bank are actually spiritual materials, not Spirit Stone. The amounts of Nine Mountains Currency and Spirit Stone are not completely equal, and there is even a big gap."
"When a large number of monks want to replace all Nine Mountains Currency with Spirit Stone, even if those Spirit Stone Nine Mountains Sect have not been used at all, it is impossible to have that many, plus the income of Nine Mountains Department Store, there is not that much."
"How do you know there aren't that many?"
Seeing Peacock Great Emperor becoming more and more confused, Madam Thousand Mechanisms simply summed it up. "Because the whole Northern Continent, or in other words, the whole Xuanwei Realm, there are not so many Spirit Stone!"
"Unless Nine Mountains Sect can conjure Spirit Stone out of thin air, when Northern Continent monks come to replace Spirit Stone, Heaven-Earth Bank won't be able to cope with it at all."
When Madam Thousand Mechanisms said this, Peacock Great Emperor understood. He looked at Madam Thousand Mechanisms and said to Daoist Guhong on the side, "To have such a wise and wise helper, fellow Daoist Guhong is really enviable."
Daoist Guhong stroked his beard and smiled, Madam Thousand Mechanisms became more and more proud.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to think that this month Heaven-Earth Bank is going to be very difficult."
"Oh?"
"There are always some monks who are well-informed and smart. They won't wait until a month later to change Spirit Stone--I'm afraid Heaven-Earth Bank will be very worried."
Madam Thousand Mechanisms is right.
Early in the morning on the third day, at the entrance of Nine Mountains Department Store, a long queue snaked across the street, which was much more spectacular than usual.
This time, I'm not here to buy anything.
"You're also here to pick up Spirit Stone?"
"Of course! Otherwise, when Strife-Free City and they take out all Spirit Stone, wouldn't we be gone?"
"I think so too! I came in line early in the morning, and I don't know if I can get my Spirit Stone back."
Han Qi stood among Nine Mountains Department Store with a somewhat calm expression. The disciple Nine Mountains on the side looked at the door anxiously and murmured, "The team is getting longer and longer."
People always follow the crowd. There was such a long queue at the door of Nine Mountains Department Store. Naturally, some people were curious.
When I asked, such a long queue was all here to withdraw money. Even those monks who were not well informed before or had some confidence in the Nine Mountains Sect would mutter in their hearts and queue up at the back.
Han Qi looked at Comprehensive Mirror and said to everyone, "The same is true at other branches. There are many people withdrawing money."
"Then what should we do?" asked a Nine Mountains disciple, "Limit the number of people? Or limit their maximum withdrawal amount?"
Han Qi looked at Comprehensive Mirror in his hand, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, he raised his head suddenly and said, "You work overtime and let them get it!"
Nine Mountains Sect disciples looked at each other.
Han Qi had already walked outside the door and shouted to the monks lining up at the door, "Don't worry, everyone! From today on, Heaven-Earth Bank will not close for a month!"
