Chapter 373: The prelude to the popularity of "Wuji Xian Pavilion"
"mother!"
Ning Luo was also very troubled by his mother who was always out of tune at that time:
“Our original intention in making this armor was to attract the Ice Dragon Clan to participate in this auction.
Now that you, Mother, are interested, it proves that Second Junior Brother and Little Junior Sister's plan will succeed."
Seeing Ning Suyan still staring at the fairy spirit reluctantly, Ning Luo sighed again and had to increase his persuasiveness:
"Mother, if the fairyland you were in was really very different from the fairyland we have today, you might have been sleeping for a thousand years.
That dad... he might have disappeared for a thousand years!"
A thousand years?
That was quite a while!
Ning Luo finally awakened his mother's uncertain love for his father. When they saw that she finally agreed to send it to Baibaozhai for auction, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the official forum of Baibaozhai was in an uproar:
"Am I seeing correctly? Baibaozhai hasn't launched a 'finale auction' program in at least ten years. And they're actually launching it in the desolate city of Puyang?"
"And they're keeping it so secretive, only talking about its functions but not even revealing its true appearance?"
"Mysterious?"
"Given Baibaozhai's reputation and status, it shouldn't be that serious."
"So do you think the news about Baibaozhai auctioning off all the armor that can withstand attacks from heavenly-grade spiritual fire is true?"
"Whether it's true or not, let's go and take a look!"
"What are you going to do? You can't afford to buy anything there. You might as well stay tuned to the real-time news on the Jade Slip Forum!"
"That's at least a top-grade defensive weapon. I wonder which high-ranking weapon cultivator made it. I haven't heard of any high-ranking weapon cultivator forging a top-grade weapon recently."
……
The "live broadcast" function of the jade slips in the fairy world has not yet been opened, so everyone can only read the latest news in the forum to keep abreast of the latest developments.
The jade slip system was controlled by Baibaozhai. The advent of the "Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifact" brought Puyang City to a new level of popularity, with more than three times the number of immortals flocking to subscribe to the restaurant.
Fortunately, Chu You and others had only released 20% of the reserved rooms before, so they would not be unable to accommodate this incredible wealth.
They recovered their capital just by paying the deposit for booking the restaurant.
The three Zhou brothers were so impressed with Chu You that they couldn't help but make a special trip to "Lingyun Cottage", which was Chu You's residence in Puyang City.
As soon as he saw Chu You, Zhou Anbang smiled more sincerely than the previous times:
"Miss Chu is indeed very foresighted. When you said you wanted to build 5,000 rooms, we brothers thought it was exaggerated. We thought we shouldn't invest so much money, and land might also be in short supply.
I didn't expect that nearly 4,000 rooms have already been reserved, and reservations for jade slips are still being processed!"
Chu You did not become arrogant because his prediction came true. He remained as calm and composed as before.
"In this case, we must provide better services before and after the auction.
Especially during the three days before and after the auction, all the guys were encouraged to be more alert and their daily wages were tripled.
On the day of the auction, the daily salary will be increased fivefold. Everyone must devote themselves to the daily operation of the "Wuji Xian Pavilion", perform their duties diligently and conscientiously.
In case of any emergency, handle it according to the emergency plan previously practiced.
If any of our employees make a mistake during this period due to personal reasons, the money they withheld will be tripled or even quintupled!"
"Is this... too harsh?"
Zhou Anbang hesitated. "After all, we have hired all the residents of Puyang City. If this happens just because they made a mistake, they will most likely not want to work in our restaurant.
That’s when the restaurant is busiest, and without waiters, operations would be even more problematic.”
"That's not a problem, because we've invested a lot of mechanical guys, no!
They can understand simple commands and monitor the entire restaurant to prevent anyone from trying to pass themselves off as the real thing."
Shangguan Ziqian walked over with a smile on his face, and he highly praised Chu You's decision:
"Previously, the natives of Puyang City relied on 'relief supplies' to survive, but now they have finally found a chance to earn money. The food they eat every day at the 'Wuyou Xian Pavilion' is several times better than before.
Although the requirements are a bit harsh, compared to their previous dull and hopeless days, they will definitely know how to cope with themselves, and it will motivate them to work harder and make progress. "
If before, most of the guys who joined "Wuyouxian Pavilion" were chasing after Chu You, after a few months of busyness, they had long given up thinking about Chu You.
The pursuit of money and cultivation has rekindled hope.
The brother and sister sang the same tune and convinced the three Zhou brothers in just a few words. They hurried to the restaurant to give their orders.
The order was indeed effective. Not only did the Wuji Xian Pavilion become more organized, but the entire Puyang City also took on a new look. The pace was tense and enjoyable.
The first group of immortal friends who had arrived in Puyang City sighed:
"I remember when I came to Puyang City thirty years ago, there were hardly any people on the streets and alleys, and the decorations were extremely simple, even a little shabby. How could it have changed so much in just thirty years?"
"Although the street scene here isn't as prosperous as the capitals of other countries, it's on par with some of the truly prosperous metropolises these days. It's unbelievable!"
"However, their native population hasn't increased much. Most of them are from Baibaozhai. They must have come to protect this heavenly-grade immortal artifact, right?"
"That's right! Let's go! Let's go check into that 'Wuyou Xian Pavilion' first and fill our stomachs while we're there."
"To deal with? Didn't the jade slip describe their living conditions and food and lodging as excellent?"
"You actually believe the pictures posted on the forum? They're so stunningly beautiful, almost surpassing the delicacies in the imperial cities and palaces. They must have taken pictures from somewhere else and posted them there intentionally. This kind of 'selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat' is not the first time we've experienced this. Just take a look."
"That's right! But no matter how bad the food tastes, we still have to eat! Let's go, let's go!"
……
The first group of immortals who moved into the "Wuyou Immortal Pavilion" did not hold much hope.
But when they entered and saw the decoration of the Immortal Pavilion, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
Stepping into Wuyouxian Pavilion is like stepping into a dream palace carrying a thousand-year-old ancient charm, and what hits you is the rich and mellow ancient immortal spirit.
In the lobby, the floor is paved with a whole piece of top-quality white marble. The warm and white stone surface reflects the dazzling light above, and every step you take feels like stepping on a piece of silver moonlight.
The texture of white marble is as delicate as silk, like a natural scroll, telling the story of time.
The surrounding walls are not made of ordinary bricks and stones, but are inlaid with light blue Xiuyan jade. The jade emits a soft glow, which complements the nine night pearls hanging in the center of the lobby.
The night pearl is round and huge, shining brightly, like a star from the sky falling into the earth, illuminating the entire lobby as bright as day, yet still soft and warm.
Although these are not as valuable as gold and silver, they cannot be exchanged for any cultivation resources.
But the design is so pleasing to the eye that it is truly refreshing.
