Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 418 The whole city is in an uproar! The Linglang Pavilion is selling quasi-Immortal Emperor

After a day of maneuvering by City Lord Wang Ming, the area in front of Linlang Pavilion was now filled with the powerful and influential people of Tai'an City.

"Lord of the City." An elderly man in fine clothes looked at Runniang, who stood silently in front of the building, and asked with a smile:

"For you to go to such lengths, the background of this Linglang Pavilion must be extraordinary."

They had received word that Wang Ming had arrived here yesterday with his subordinate Zhao Cheng. Judging from the messenger's tone, the master of the Linglang Pavilion likely possesses an astonishing background!

Wang Ming also specifically instructed everyone to raise as much money as possible to support the event.

Adding to the fact that the divine energy fluctuations that erupted more than tenfold that day, everyone was quite curious:

"We've all prepared our fanny packs, but we wonder what's inside?"

"We're going to have another competitor!" The chamber of commerce members in the crowd joked with laughter.

"I hope it's not the same type of business as mine, otherwise it'll be hard to make a living!"

If it weren't for Wang Ming's incident yesterday, they would definitely have secretly suppressed the 'newcomer'.

But things are different now. Even if the other party runs a similar shop, you can only accept your bad luck.

"Please calm down, everyone," Wang Ming said, as steady as a mountain.

"You'll know once you go inside and take a look."

He trusted his judgment, and Shen Yun had specifically reminded him of this beforehand.

Such an important person would never speak without a purpose, so he had been asking all his contacts who could lend him money since yesterday.

He hasn't touched the industry yet. As everyone says, if Tai'an City develops as a result, the real estate profits can be maximized.

Some say he has gone mad, that his promising business has been ruined by a scheme, and that his family is full of complaints.

Of course, there were also those who sensed a business opportunity, such as the wealthy merchants around who prepared a lot of immortal stones.

But without a doubt, he was the most well-prepared among those present.

'It's been so many years since I've looked forward to anything like this...' He stared intently at the tightly closed door before him.

'I hope I can return home with a full load...'

A moment later, as everyone waited anxiously, Runniang, who was standing in front of the door, seemed to have received some message. She first bowed slightly to the door before pushing it open.

Wang Ming, Zhao Cheng, along with the surrounding wealthy merchants and onlookers, all peered through the crack in the door at the scene inside.

There were only a few shelves, and only a hundred items.

When everyone saw that each treasure on the shelf was surrounded by a terrifying aura of tribulation clouds, their expressions changed drastically, and they gasped in shock:

"hiss!!!"

"Nine Tribulation Clouds?! These are all Ninth Tribulation level treasures?!"

It should be noted that the city's powerful forces, including the city lord Wang Ming, are already at the Golden Immortal realm, making them the strongest!

Even the city's chambers of commerce rarely sell ninth-level treasures; they are all privately held.

If they want to buy such treasures, they can only go to big cities.

The problem is that there are plenty of wealthy people in big cities, and being able to buy one depends on luck.

Now that a whole shelf full of treasures is right in front of them, how could everyone not be excited!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!!

Many people couldn't wait any longer and slipped to the store entrance to go inside.

Wang Ming was also among them, but he remained relatively calm, cupping his hands and smiling at Runniang at the door:

"Runniang, could you tell me what kind of treasures are on the next level?"

Runniang has already received the Pavilion Master's instructions and there is no need to hide it.

The pavilion master also reminded her to be more dignified, so as not to be looked down upon.

So she didn't even return the gift, glanced at the crowd eavesdropping, and made a hand gesture:

It will only get higher.

"What?!" Wang Ming and the others' eyes widened in surprise.

Because the highest quality magic treasure on this floor has reached the ninth level of the superior grade.

What does it mean that it will only get higher?!

Wouldn't the second level require reaching the Immortal Lord level?!

What about three, four, and five floors?!

Even the customers who rushed into the store to examine the items stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide with disbelief as they looked towards the stairwell.

'This is a full seven-story building! Could there be a Celestial Emperor-level treasure on the sixth floor?!'

Immortal Emperor?

Such a person appears only once in countless eras, and is rarely recorded in ancient books, so their authenticity is unknown.

As for Celestial Emperor treasures, they exist only in legends; even Daoist temples don't possess such supreme treasures!

Could a small city like Tai'an possibly have that?

At that moment, everyone felt that reality was too dreamlike and too absurd!

"I'll wait..." Wang Ming felt his throat getting dry.

Even though the person standing in front of him was a shop assistant, he still stammered a bit when he spoke:

"May we...go up and take a look?"

Runniang glanced at the expectant crowd, smiled faintly, and transmitted her voice throughout the room:

"The Pavilion Master is kind; you are only allowed to enjoy a free visit for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea today. Further access to the upper floors will incur a processing fee."

Swish! ! !

Wang Ming and several other Golden Immortal Realm experts didn't want to linger for a moment and rushed up the stairs.

The others followed in.

Fortunately, everyone knows that this place must not be damaged, otherwise the surging crowd might have blown the building up.

Only a moment later.

The entire city of Tai'an was filled with a deafening clamor:

"My God! The entire second floor is filled with celestial treasures!!!"

"Celestial King Chaos Thunder Pattern!! Three layers containing a total of eighteen Celestial King magic treasures!!!"

"Hiss!! Daoist runes?! A magic weapon exclusive to Immortal Venerable Realm experts?!"

When the trembling roars of the many Golden Immortal experts on the fifth floor echoed, the entire city of Tai'an fell silent in an instant:

"This is the Flame of Destiny?!"

"A protective divine fire possessed only by a quasi-Immortal Emperor?!"

"Am I...dreaming?!"

"These are two quasi-Immortal Emperor artifacts!!!" The roar echoed throughout the city.

next moment.

boom!!!

Tai'an City was in complete uproar!

Everyone rose up like streaks of light, rushing towards the very center of the city.

Many cultivators also rushed out of the city like madmen, wanting to hand over first-hand information to their sects.

Immortal King's magic treasures, Immortal Venerable's magic artifacts, Quasi-Immortal Emperor's artifacts—each one is a treasure that causes a sensation in a state, or even in the Immortal Realm.

If we can notify the sect immediately, that would be a great achievement!

"Haha! We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!!!" Some local residents shouted excitedly at this moment.

They can't afford these magical treasures, but their own assets will surely see their value skyrocket in a short time!

It could be said that at this moment, the city of Tai'an was like a pot of boiling oil and water, with people excitedly chatting in every corner.

But one person had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

That was Wang Ming, the city lord of Tai'an!

The development of Tai'an City was foreseeable, but he was also extremely apprehensive.

This will undoubtedly attract countless powerful forces and top experts to come!

As the lord of a small city, if someone fails to provide proper hospitality, or even fails to provide any hospitality at all, he might be dismissed one day and replaced as the city lord!

It's not impossible that self-interest can sway people's hearts.

So while everyone was engrossed in admiring the two quasi-Immortal Emperor-level magical treasures in front of them, he went to the top of the stairs, bowed deeply to the sixth floor above, and whispered in a trembling voice:

"Please, Master, save me!!"
