"Indeed, my teachings are as expected. The place your master chose is exceptionally good, and most of the credit belongs to me."
Yi Mei Dao Ren nodded with satisfaction behind Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian's face was as dark as ink. This guy hadn't even shown up, so what credit did he have?
"The entire mountain is about three hundred meters high. It's not large in area, but it possesses the might of Ao Shi Long Tang. Looking from the capital, our mountain resembles a dragon's head, dominating the world."
"Furthermore, the Northern Li Dragon Vein is prosperous. Behind us are continuous wilderness without any mountain ranges to obstruct. This is called a dragon soaring for ten thousand miles."
"Boss, this place is truly excellent."
Hu Ba Yi considered for a moment and then spoke.
Not only was the scenery excellent, but the most crucial aspect was that one could see the shadow of the capital from here.
This was truly remarkable.
Zhang Tian nodded. "I didn't expect Da Jin Ya to be so reliable."
"It's three in the afternoon. So, Fatty, you and Old Hu go to Beili and find some workers to renovate this mountain."
"I'll draw up the blueprints for you later."
Zhang Tian said, his gaze fixed on the small mountain.
This mountain was not very high, about three hundred meters, and about a hundred meters wide. In a place like Beili, this was already quite large.
It was relatively easy to build something on the mountain, and the scale could be quite grand.
"Boss, it's like a rotten donkey on a炕, with too much dead urine. Fatty will directly hire a construction expert, and you can rest. Why draw blueprints?"
"Isn't it good to rest at home?"
Fatty chuckled. Zhang Tian raised an eyebrow at Hu Ba Yi.
Seeing this, Hu Ba Yi flicked Fatty's forehead.
"This is our first stronghold. Of course, the boss has to be personally involved."
Hu Ba Yi said as Fatty rubbed his forehead.
"Alright, Fatty will go find them."
Fatty said and started walking down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian and the others visited the former dwelling of the Ban Shan Dao Ren.
Afterward, they directly set his house on fire.
Following this, Zhang Tian began planning the blueprints.
Zhang Tian's idea was simple: build a large courtyard, or perhaps a grand mansion on the mountain.
Regarding a mansion, Zhang Tian worried about the foundation's stability. However, a courtyard would not live up to the name of a "group."
It needed to have a high stature.
"Boss, I have an idea."
Hu Ba Yi spoke from the side.
He fanned himself with a fan.
"What idea?"
"We can build a large courtyard on the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, we can also build the 'mansion' you mentioned."
"This way, we will have both, wouldn't that be even better?"
After Hu Ba Yi finished, Zhang Tian nodded.
He had also considered this, but funding was a problem.
Not to mention the construction of the mansion, which would cost at least tens of millions. Add the courtyard, and it might easily cost seventy to eighty million.
Zhang Tian did not have that much liquid capital.
After thinking, Zhang Tian temporarily set aside the idea of collaborating with his family and then thought of the Xin Yue Restaurant.
Xin Yue Restaurant was quite wealthy in Beili and was another major force besides the families.
Looking at his jade pendant, which contained demonic arts and curses, it was far superior to the trash cultivation methods auctioned before.
If he sold these jade pendants, he might be able to earn money in a short period.
After understanding this, Zhang Tian spoke again.
"Old Hu, let's proceed as you suggested. Find people first, and then we'll build."
"Second brother, you continue refining pills. Let me know when you succeed."
Zhang Tian said, and Zhang Qilin nodded. Then everyone also began to act.
Zhang Tian headed to Xin Yue Restaurant.
In fact, Zhang Tian leaned more towards collaborating with large families and selling jade pendants.
However, upon reflection, the only family he could trust or knew was the Xie family.
And the Xie family had experienced economic turmoil last time after buying the pills. It would be a bit difficult for them to produce so much money again in a short period.
Therefore, Zhang Tian decided to check out Xin Yue Restaurant.
Soon, at the entrance of the ancient restaurant, several men in black stood guard.
Inside, many beautiful women in cheongsams were present. Zhang Tian's expression was calm as he slowly entered.
Even in the original work, the owner of Xin Yue Restaurant was not specified, but he had a daughter named Yin Xin Yue.
Zhang Tian was aware of this.
However, he hadn't seen her last time, and he doubted he would see her this time.
Upon entering the restaurant and stating his purpose, Zhang Tian was directly invited inside.
Zhang Tian's reputation was not bad, so he encountered no obstruction and soon arrived at a small private room.
This private room did not look large and was extremely secluded, as if specifically designed to avoid being seen.
After the cheongsam-clad woman led Zhang Tian here, she bowed and left.
Zhang Tian's gaze fell upon the small door of the private room.
Before Zhang Tian could speak, the door was opened.
Inside was an old, small room.
And within it, there was a figure.
Zhang Tian could not discern who it was, but judging by the physique, it should be a man.
"Hello, I have a few items I wish to sell at your establishment. Is that possible?"
Before Zhang Tian even entered, he bowed and spoke slowly.
His etiquette was impeccable.
"Of course, we at Xin Yue Restaurant naturally do not refuse good things."
"If you have good items, we will naturally offer a high price."
The figure spoke in a very mysterious manner. Zhang Tian could not see his face from beginning to end.
"Hello, I participated in the last auction. At the auction, a jade pendant could fetch an exorbitant price. The jade pendants I have are even better than those."
Zhang Tian said lightly.
At the same time, his expression was tense.
If this person showed any unusual behavior, Zhang Tian would leave immediately.
After all, Zhang Tian knew that one should not flaunt one's wealth.
"Oh? Good jade pendants?"
"May I see them? If your jade pendants are indeed suitable, I can acquire them at the market price."
The other party said. Zhang Tian nodded.
He directly tossed the jade pendant over.
The shadowy figure then took it and examined it repeatedly.
"Demonic arts, good stuff. A pity, it shortens one's lifespan to cultivate. I can offer twenty million for this."
The other party said.
The previous trashy health preservation techniques could sell for millions, and this was a magic technique, so it was naturally higher.
"You know your stuff."
Seeing this, Zhang Tian was only momentarily stunned before he came to his senses.
Then, Zhang Tian tossed over the jade pendant with the curse.
Upon receiving this jade pendant, the shadowy figure's body clearly trembled.
"You are very unusual."
He uttered a cryptic remark.
Then, the shadowy figure seemed to turn, his sharp eyes fixed on Zhang Tian.
"This is a curse jade pendant, isn't it? You are very skilled to be able to obtain such things."
"This contains a decent curse that is very useful to me. So, for this jade pendant, along with the previous one, I can offer seventy million."
The other party said.
Zhang Tian took a breath.
He nodded gently.
"Agreed."
After Zhang Tian spoke, the other party waved his hand.
"Good, you can go to the treasury to collect your money now."
After speaking again, Zhang Tian directly walked out.
Zhang Tian felt a trace of mystery from this person. His aura was even slightly superior to his own.
It seemed that the owner of Xin Yue Restaurant had at least a higher cultivation level than himself.
No wonder they could stand tall in Beili City without falling.
Zhang Tian walked outside. His visit this time was not just to sell items, but primarily to gauge the strength of the restaurant.
Now, he understood why they could remain in business for so long.
After collecting the money, Zhang Tian headed towards the courtyard.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening.
Night was approaching.
And in the antique shop.
The little fox ran back excitedly.
