Heavenly Peak Plain Has An Immortal City, A Century-Long Vacation, Ao Guang Comes To Yuqing Peak To Cause Trouble?

"Qingyuan, you've grown quite capable now. Those Jie Sect disciples are spreading word everywhere that This Seat's lectures aren't even half as good as yours!"

Inside Shangqing Hall.

Sect Master Tongtian's dignified and cold voice echoed, startling Qingyuan into immediately prostrating himself as he explained, "Master, there's something you don't know about this."

"Oh? Is there some reasoning behind it?" Tongtian asked in surprise.

"Master, you are a Hunyuan Saint, undying and invulnerable to all laws. The Dao you teach is the Chaos Great Dao that leads straight to Hunyuan—only Great Luo can understand it. Your disciple is merely a minor Golden Immortal, teaching only the Heterodox Path, fit only for instructing minor Celestial Immortals and True Immortals!"

Qingyuan looked up at Tongtian and grinned. "You are a Saint, teaching the Chaos Great Dao, producing Primordial Overlords and Great Powers."

"Your disciple is a minor Golden Immortal, at most capable of producing some mediocrities."

"You little slick. You can talk your way out of anything."

Seeing Qingyuan's shameless smile.

Tongtian glared at him helplessly and said, "Are the Immortal Crystals you've been refining these past years sufficient?"

"That good disciple of yours, Yun Zhongzi, has been visiting the deities of the Kunlun Mountains far and wide. The Head of Female Immortals, Queen Mother of the West, has agreed to come after the completion, along with scattered Primordial loose immortals who are interested. If you mess this up, don't blame This Seat for dealing with you later!"

But who knew he'd call all the disciples of the Three Sects to build some Immortal Market.

That was one thing.

But he also sent Yun Zhongzi to spread the word across the Kunlun Mountains, practically wanting the whole world to know.

If it ended up looking too shabby, wouldn't that disgrace the Mystic Gate's reputation?

Where would the faces of the Three Pure Ones of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage go?

"Rest assured, Master. Your disciple already has a plan. I will surely make the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Market famous throughout the Primordial World!"

Qingyuan cupped his fists with a smile, exuding confidence.

No joke.

He hadn't even used up Plan A for Yun Zhongzi, and it had already drawn the attention of so many Primordial Great Powers.

Once Plan B—Pinduoduo's referral cashback model—kicked in, wouldn't the beings of the Primordial World come running to spend?

Add in the early introduction of various delicacies, furniture, and appliances, and with him leading the Mystic Gate disciples to craft a trendsetting Whole-House Customization package, wouldn't every being in the Primordial World be scrambling to pursue it?

When the time came.

First, gift a Whole-House Customization set to famous Primordial Great Powers like Queen Mother of the West, Houtu, and Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

Then use their reputation to advertise.

Business would come on its own...

"Since you have a plan in mind, your master won't ask further. Go back."

Tongtian waved his hand.

Qingyuan felt his vision blur, and he was back where he had been flying before. He quickly steadied himself and headed off to check on the construction progress.

Whoosh~

A White Rainbow streaked across the sky.

Soon he arrived near the construction site.

Qingyuan gazed from afar, feeling somewhat satisfied.

The site he had chosen for the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Market was the flattest terrain among the masterless lands of the Kunlun Mountain Range.

Any mountains there had been leveled by Wudang Holy Mother and the others.

In all directions, the land was flat and open, while outside the basin, steep peaks rose in layered folds.

Like an upright bowl, shielding the vast plain.

Vaguely visible.

The peaks resembled lotus petals.

And in the middle of the expansive plain stood a Giant Peak that seemed to touch the sky!

On top of the Giant Peak was a massive platform. The Kunlun Mountain Immortal Market was built atop this summit, nearly the size of a Minor World. The buildings inside were packed like fish scales, a truly magnificent and imposing sight!

The Kunlun Mountain Immortal Market had ten gates.

Corresponding to ten pathways up the Giant Peak, symbolizing Wealth from Ten Directions.

Of course.

The outline of the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Market was mostly done, but the various buildings and details inside were not yet finished.

Having just finished listening to the Saint's lecture.

Few Jie Sect disciples had returned to work.

Qingyuan simply called over Wudang Holy Mother, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and a few others, declaring a hundred-year holiday.

This sent the Jie Sect disciples working at the construction site into joyful cheers as they happily left the Immortal Market.

After finishing his inspection of the construction site.

Qingyuan flew toward Taiqing Peak.

First, he visited Saint Taiqing to explain that he had been so busy with the Immortal Crystal matter that he had forgotten about the holiday. Only then did he pat the heads of the Golden and Silver Children before leaving Taiqing Hall, granting Xuandu and the other Pill Department elites a century-long vacation.

Next.

Qingyuan proceeded to Yuqing Peak.

After paying his respects to the Jade Pure Saint.

He granted Daoist Randeng, Guangchengzi, and the personnel of both departments a century mini-vacation. He also stayed behind to study whether the products developed by the Artifact Department met quality standards before finally taking his leave.

Strangely enough.

He did not see Daoist Huanglong during this time.

This puzzled Qingyuan greatly, but he didn't dwell on it. He returned to Serene Peak for secluded cultivation, continuing to forge money.

To be honest, the Falling Treasure Gold Coin wasn't very convenient to use.

Since it wasn't a system-rewarded item, Qingyuan had to first refine this spiritual treasure before he could wield it.

The problem was that the Falling Treasure Gold Coin was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing forty-six Innate Restrictions within. He had spent many years but could only refine fifteen of them, and the refinement speed slowed considerably after that.

Thus.

The process of imprinting the aura of the Money Great Dao onto the Immortal Crystals using the Falling Treasure Gold Coin was not fast.

He gave others time off.

But Qingyuan did not take any for himself.

Back in his dojo, he simultaneously refined the Falling Treasure Gold Coin and the Immortal Crystals, creating vast amounts of 'money' while his mind and spirit grew weary.

After some seventy or eighty years had passed.

Qingyuan was suddenly roused by voices outside.

His gaze swept over the hall, and he saw Yun Zhongzi, the Great Peng Bird, and a few others.

The Great Peng Bird, in particular, wore an expression of strange excitement and mockery, eagerly shouting, "Master, Master, come out quickly! Someone is causing trouble at Yuqing Peak. Guess who it is?"

"Who dares to cause trouble at Yuqing Peak?"

Qingyuan raised an eyebrow, incredulous.

In the Primordial Wilderness, it was 'rumored' that among the Three Pure Ones, Saint Shangqing, Sect Master Tongtian, was the most impulsive and reckless, ready to fight at the drop of a hat.

But Yuanshi Tianzun of the Jade Purity's Pangu Banner was no joke—if he said he'd kill you, he'd kill you.

Who was so bold as to come and stir up trouble?

He didn't recall anyone ever causing trouble at Yuqing Peak.

Qingyuan emerged from seclusion.

Ignoring the Great Peng Bird, he looked at Yun Zhongzi and asked, "Who dares to cause trouble at Yuqing Peak?"

"Master, it's..."

Before Yun Zhongzi could finish, the impatient Great Peng Bird cut him off, excitedly saying, "Master, do you remember that little azure dragon we encountered back then?"

"Oh? What about it?"

The arrogant and conceited youthful figure of Little Azure Dragon Ao Guang immediately surfaced in Qingyuan's mind.

He frowned slightly.

Could it be that this kid, having failed to become a disciple, was causing trouble at Yuqing Peak?

If he truly angered Senior Uncle Yuanshi.

Even if a batch of the East Sea Dragon Clan died, the Quasi-Saint True Dragon ancestors from the True Dragon Realm would still have to scurry over to apologize. Angering a Saint was no joke.

The Great Peng Bird snickered, "Master, that kid couldn't even pass the first formation of the Chan Sect's entry test. His recommendation to enter the mountain and become a disciple failed too. So he's making a scene at Yuqing Peak, claiming that Daoist Huanglong accepted his bribes but didn't deliver on his promise..."
