Being admired by a beauty like this, Chu Feng felt extremely gratified.

He felt as if he had become several taels lighter.

He had always wanted to pursue and win over Master Li, but she was very proud and principled, not easily giving in.

The more she admired him, the greater the chance he would have to win her over in the future.

Calculating the days left before he was to go to the frontlines, there were still more than ten days. Chu Feng wanted to set up a branch store before that.

In the past two days, he had stayed at Longevity Hall, recruiting talented Alchemy Dao prodigies.

Due to Longevity Hall’s ever-growing fame, which had even far surpassed Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion’s, hiring Pill Masters was now much easier than before.

Moreover, many powerful Alchemy Kings were eager to apply.

Chu Feng first examined the applicants’ character, which was his top priority.

If someone had character issues, even if their alchemy talent was excellent, he was sorry, but Longevity Hall would not hire Pill Masters with poor characters.

On the third day, Master Li came looking for Chu Feng early in the morning, clearly excited.

"Master, I have good news. In the Imperial Capital of the Divine Baihu Kingdom, Baihu City, there is a shopfront property for sale. The landlord is a wealthy merchant who has offended someone he shouldn’t have, and is planning to sell his property in a hurry to flee Baihu City and settle down elsewhere."

For the wealthy, if they find their current city intolerable or unsatisfactory, they can simply change to another city.

No matter which city they are in, they can still live a life of affluence.

"That there’s already a suitable shopfront for sale in Baihu City is great news! Tell me more about it," Chu Feng was also exceptionally happy.

However, he did not act impulsively, but remained very calm.

"That shopfront property has more than a hundred residential houses and includes four shopfront spaces, located in the central area of Baihu City. The shopfront is currently used by the wealthy merchant for his own clothing business. The market value of the shopfront property is around 35 million silver taels, but because he is in a hurry to sell, he is offering it for 32 million silver taels."

"If you can pay in full at once and use Spirit Stones, you can get a substantial discount," Master Li shared the basic information.

Baihu City is said to be even more prosperous than Vermilion Bird Imperial City and is a typical land of wealth. Its citizens have quite substantial savings.

In the center of Baihu City, even if you have the silver, it’s not necessarily possible to buy a shopfront property.

After all, landlords aren’t foolish. They can collect a handsome rent each year, akin to a goose that lays golden eggs. Selling the property would be like killing the goose to get the eggs; the steady income would be gone.

More than a hundred residences indicate that the property is very large.

And four shopfronts add to its immense value.

Chu Feng was very tempted upon hearing this. Out of curiosity, he asked, "Why can I get a substantial discount if I use Spirit Stones to settle the payment for the property?"

"Master, you really are silly! The merchant is desperate to sell the property, obviously to make a run for it. Carrying a large amount of silver would slow him down, but Spirit Stones are different. One Spirit Stone is equivalent to one thousand silver taels and they’re hard currency. Wherever you go, they can be easily exchanged for silver. Plus, they’re very convenient to carry."

"Even if he escapes to another city, he won’t have to worry about the extortionate fees charged for exchanging silver."

For silver notes, those issued by major silver banks can be exchanged throughout the Divine Martial Continent.

However, if it’s a silver note from Baihu City, trying to exchange it in Vermilion Bird City would result in alarmingly high fees.

This merchant, with years of business experience and shrewd calculations, had considered every aspect very thoroughly.

If a buyer uses Spirit Stones to pay for the property, for the wealthy man, it’s the most profitable option.

Chu Feng was just about to pay with Spirit Stones, which was perfectly tailored for him.

"Shishi, accompany me on a trip to Baihu City!"

"Master, are you planning to buy that shopfront property?" Li Shishi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Chu Feng. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

That is a shopfront property worth 35 million silver taels. To buy it just like that, Master is indeed domineering.

She suddenly realized that their Master is not only a genius in the Alchemy Dao and Sword Dao but also possesses astonishing wealth. He definitely belongs to the category of tall, rich, and handsome.

A level of a wealthy, young husband who is highly sought after.

For ordinary people, having 30 to 40 million silver taels means they never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

"Right, I only have the citizenship of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, would that affect the purchase of that shopfront property?" Chu Feng had deep feelings for the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, and to change his citizenship to that of Baihu City for a shopfront property.

He definitely would not want to.

"Don’t worry, Master! Such matters are trivial, and moreover, Baihu City is not exclusive. They warmly welcome investors and talents from other Heavenly Countries."

The prosperity and wealth of Baihu City are also inseparably connected to the open policies of the administrators.

Chu Feng was pressed for time, so he immediately took Li Shishi with him and flew toward Baihu City.

It’s a pity that his Jin Que is still in the One-star Little Demon Realm, otherwise, he could have ridden it there.

Since Li Shishi’s cultivation is still shallow, and she cannot perform Sword Flight, Chu Feng had to hold her and stand on the Flying Sword for a romantic journey high in the sky.

Flying with another person is particularly taxing.

For Chu Feng, who has only recently advanced to the One-Star Sword God Realm, it is definitely a challenge.

However, flying with the beautiful Li Shishi in his arms is also a great pleasure.

The pain and pleasure combined, that’s probably the right description for the current situation.

The two flew for a full three days and nights before finally arriving at Baihu City.

Fortunately, the capital cities of the two Heavenly Countries are not too far apart; otherwise, Chu Feng would have had to find another way to rush to Baihu City.

"We’ve arrived!"

Chu Feng gently patted Li Shishi’s jade-like back, and a flush of shyness bloomed on her pretty face.

Throughout the journey, her screams never stopped.

Every time Chu Feng encountered disturbances like wind and rain, causing the Flying Sword to shake, she would immediately let out a high-decibel scream for fear of falling to her death.

Even though Chu Feng had explained countless times, assuring her that nothing would go wrong.

She just wouldn’t listen.

After landing, Li Shishi swept her disheveled hair from her forehead. A beauty tucking away her hair is indeed full of charm.

"You little minx, you’re really killing me without taking responsibility!" Chu Feng truly suspected that Li Shishi was deliberately trying to bewitch him.

"Not at all! That shopfront property must be very sought-after, let’s hurry and find the landlord! If someone else buys it first, our trip here will be in vain."

Li Shishi cast a coquettish glance at Chu Feng.

As the two entered Baihu City, Chu Feng was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything fresh and new, looking here and there and touching everything.

On the other hand, Li Shishi, seeming to be accustomed to the sights of different places, did not show much change in expression.

"Here we are!"

The two stopped in front of the shop. Now, the doors were tightly closed.
