Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 298 The Divine Beast Ao Fei's Mission: Heading to the Entrance of the Underworld!

"Does the underworld still exist?" Shen Yun raised an eyebrow.

In the past, the secret realm of the underworld in Chongqing was said to have contained the lineage of Black and White Impermanence. It was later confirmed that this 'Impermanence' was not the 'Impermanence' as understood in human mythology.

This is similar to the concept of "Monkey King" being the same as "Monkey King Demon Emperor"—both are merely folk interpretations and can only be used as a reference.

However, when he was promoted to the position of Supreme Worshipper in the Huaxia region, a Nine Netherworld Edict appeared that could summon the spirits and deities, including Ox-Head and Horse-Face!

In addition to Ao Fei's current tasks.

This shows that the underworld exists!

As for why there are so many underworld inheritances in Chongqing, it is very likely that, like other inheritance secret realms, the underworld also encountered great disasters in the past and had no choice but to go to the human world to open secret realms to avoid the world, etc.

【Okay, where is she? I'll go check on her.】 Shen Yun replied with a message.

The stronger China's national fortune, the longer its dynasty will last. Moreover, the increase in fortune will benefit cultivators in their cultivation journey.

The biggest beneficiary of all this is undoubtedly him!

Not to mention that Ao Fei has now become Bai Xian'er's best friend. Since Xian'er is cultivating, it doesn't matter if he goes there once he has nothing else to do.

Boss, we're in our office at the Linlang Building.

Shen Yun closed the message and darted off onto the balcony...

……

With the opening of high-level dungeons, the Xuan Tian cultivators' pockets have become bulging, which has led to the Linlang Pavilion's business becoming increasingly booming, making money hand over fist every day.

Although Shen Yun is not short of spirit stones now, the barter system of Linlang Pavilion has not changed.

So when he entered the office, Qin Shitong first handed him a storage ring:

"Boss, these are some very valuable treasures I recently redeemed. One advanced skill book, one 10% discount coupon, five mid-grade monster pet experience pills, seven low-grade monster refinement pills, and four ninth-grade medicinal herbs..."

Qin Shitong broadcasted with great enthusiasm, revealing that besides the items Shen Yun could use, Linlang Pavilion had actually exchanged many treasures.

It can be said that nowadays, players in the Chinese region will immediately think of the Linglang Pavilion to exchange for their favorite magic weapons if they have any mismatched or unusable treasures!

Supporting Shen Yun is one thing, but the key point is that Linlang Pavilion really has good stuff and doesn't bully its customers just because it's a big store.

As for people from other countries who come to exchange, there are relatively few, since no one wants to fund the enemy.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as the next Linlang Pavilion auction is held, she has no worries about those foreigners not bringing valuable treasures!

This is because in the world today, only the Linglang Pavilion is capable of selling high-quality magical artifacts.

Moreover, as long as their boss remains on Earth, Linlang Pavilion will always be one step ahead and be able to sell high-end magical artifacts!

She and her employees dream of this global dominance and monopolistic power every day.

'Coupons?' Shen Yun raised an eyebrow. These things could save a lot of money if saved up for later use.

Then he looked at the monster skill book:

[Advanced Skill Book - Stealth: Grants absolute invisibility for 25 seconds. You will be revealed when attacking an enemy. Cooldown: 1 hour]

[Note: This skill is vulnerable to wide-area attacks such as sonic waves and soul strikes. Upon being hit, the invisibility effect will be lost.]

The downside of this skill is that it can force you out of your physical form if attacked by area-of-effect attacks.

For most players, monsters are usable, but it's far more beneficial to switch to a more suitable magic weapon.

'But for Xian'er, this is an ultimate divine skill!' Shen Yun smiled and put it into his beast taming space, indicating that Xian'er should learn it when she had time.

Because Bai Xian'er has a spatial talent, once she becomes invisible, even if she encounters a shockwave, she can hide in the void to avoid damage!

With her rare ultimate skill, combined with her spatial talent and invisibility, she's definitely a super sixth-rate fighter!

The experience pills in the ring are also good.

The Refinement Pill is no longer of any use to Xian'er. She has already reached a 95% enhancement level, and there is a high chance that it will drop if she tries to refine it again.

'Give it to her as a reward.' Shen Yun took out seven low-grade Refinement Pills and the two high-grade Refinement Pills left over from before, and handed them to Qin Shitong:

"These are your rewards. If you receive any more, consider them as internal company rewards."

"Thank you, boss!" Qin Shitong knew she couldn't refuse, so she happily accepted it.

Her baby's aptitude is decent; although it didn't make the list, it's still among the top players. With these aptitude-refining pills, its strength will be enhanced to some extent.

Then Shen Yun talked to her about the company's development, opening a branch in Yancheng for transit, and opening Linlangge in neighboring countries.

"The shop doesn't need to sell anything too expensive, just something of slightly higher quality than what's available on the market. Let's play it safe and see how things go first," Shen Yun set the tone.

Because after the next update, evil cultivators will gradually emerge from the secret realm nodes, causing considerable trouble for countries around the world.

In the past, after such an event occurred, various countries spent a lot of money to recruit Xuan Tian experts to fight against the evil race.

In this life, he not only wants to make a fortune, but also to turn all the countries that have been opposing him, such as the Universe Kingdom and the Monkey Zone, into vassal states and exploit them like leeks!

After finishing their business, Shen Yun stood up and gestured to Consort Ao inside the room:

"Let's go, Miss Ao, to the entrance of the underworld."

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Shen." Ao Fei clasped her hands in a salute, then flashed into the void and transformed into a silver-white giant dragon.

Seeing Shen Yun fly over with his wings spread, she lowered her dragon head slightly:

"Mr. Shen, Ao Fei will give you a ride."

"No need." Shen Yun waved his hand with a faint smile: "You are, after all, a guardian beast of the nation, not a spirit pet."

"Mr. Shen, what are you saying?" Ao Fei shook her head slightly.

"Without Mr. Shen and Sister Xian'er, there would be no Consort Ao today."

Not only did the lost Ancestral Dragon Jade Pendant return, but Shen Yun and the other person also helped her achieve the status of a divine beast and restrain the Life-Taking Emperor Curse. It is no exaggeration to say that they have been given a second chance at life.

She felt immense admiration and gratitude for Shen Yun; it was nothing more than taking him along for a while.

After all, Shen Yun always had Bai Xian'er accompanying him when he went out. If he followed her, he would have to go on his own, which would not only lower her standards but also make him seem tactless.

Before Shen Yun could refuse, Ao Fei's words revealed her helplessness:

"If Mr. Shen can ride Sister Xian'er, then he can certainly ride me. If Sister Xian'er finds out that I have been so rude, I will have no face to see her next time."

"Uh...cough cough..." Shen Yun coughed dryly and had no choice but to give up, then flashed and stood on her dragon head:

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Fei."

"With pleasure." Ao Fei, her voice light and cheerful, smiled and vanished into the clouds...

……

Compared to other places, the Yu area has a heavier yin energy.

Fortunately, the players here have become accustomed to the local environment after acquiring local heritage.

However, around Ghost Capital Mountain, a tourist attraction in the city, not only is no one willing to live there, but even the monsters in the mountain have all fled.

It is only because the Yin energy in the mountains is too heavy that ordinary cultivators living nearby will be infected by the Yin energy and bedridden within three days.

As a member of the Yang Dragon Clan, Ao Fei always felt uncomfortable whenever she came here, and her body would automatically emit a scorching aura when she landed.

Shen Yun, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed, his eyes filled with curiosity as he examined the stone tablet before him.

[The Underworld! (No living people allowed. Enter at your own risk.)]

"Mr. Shen, this is the stone tablet I activated while doing a quest," Ao Fei explained.

“Initially, a ghost soldier showed up, but refused my request, and then there was no further news.”
