After Xu Zefu left, Jiang Wang stayed another night on the Zhongxuan Clan’s grounds.He didn’t do anything, nor did he meet anyone else.

He didn’t even practice cultivation.

He simply settled down and contemplated earnestly.

He thought about what the Taixu Illusion Realm really meant.

What was Qi Ting’s true stance on the Taixu Illusion Realm?

Was it genuine support, a temporary measure, or did he have other ideas?

Where were the boundaries…

He thought about his newly acquired role as the envoy of Taixu, as well as the yet-to-be-constructed Tai Xu Corner Tower…

An entire night passed.

Only then did he wake from his deep thoughts.

He made a special trip to visit Zhongxuan Yuanhu to pay his respects and bid farewell before he planned to leave.

He had not met Zhongxuan Yuanhu before and didn’t wish to disturb him.

Now that he had met him and Zhongxuan Yuanhu had shown goodwill, it would have been impolite not to say goodbye.

Zhongxuan Laifu had reminded him of this courtesy.

These family-born servants who had served in the Marquis Mansion for generations were extremely familiar with the etiquette of prestigious households.

Leaving the courtyard of Elder Zhongxuan Yuanhu, Zhongxuan Laifu reminded him again, “Young Master Jiang, I cleaned up around the ancestral shrine early this morning.

The senior who stopped you that day is in retreat today.”

Clearly, Zhongxuan Hengshen had chicken out and didn’t dare to play the roadblock anymore.

He began to turn a blind eye.

While informing Jiang Wang the “opportunity” had arisen, Zhongxuan Laifu had to manage the pride of a young prodigy like Young Master Jiang and still be careful not to insult the elders—indeed, it required a bit of linguistic finesse.

Nevertheless, it ended up like casting a coquettish glance at a blind man.

Jiang Wang chuckled lightly, “Whether he’s in retreat or not, my rank is too low to cross that threshold anyway, so I won’t bother visiting!”

With that said, he truly departed with composure.

Zhongxuan Laifu respectfully saw Jiang Wang off, watching as the carriage slowly disappeared into the distance.

He made a secret resolution to improve his serving skills and gain a better understanding of the preferences of young talents, striving to cater to their likes next time to ensure Young Master Jiang would be satisfied.

The carriage rumbled on, passing through Jichuan County, but it didn’t go directly to Linzi.

Instead, it detoured to Bei County, cut across Jiaodong County, and returned to Linhai County.

More precisely, to Heavenly Mansion City.

“Brother Jiang is going to sea again?” Lv Zongxiao seemed somewhat puzzled by Jiang Wang’s arrival and earnestly advised, “The Sea Guard System has just been established, and both the Human Race and the Sea Clan need time to adapt.

This period is likely the most dangerous time in the Lost World.

Of course, my intention isn’t to suggest that we should be afraid of death; for the greater good of the Human Race, we would not regret even if death is certain.

But it doesn’t have to be right now; we can wait, let the conflict in the Lost World stabilize, and then it won’t be too late to go.

You’ve already taken the top spot on the secondary list, there’s no need to fight for it again.”

Lv Zongxiao’s words were extremely sincere.

As the City Lord in charge of such an important city, if he truly wanted to socialize with someone, his methods could be incredibly skillful.

Of course, being skillful in socialization does not necessarily mean being false.

In any case, there was a great deal of sincerity—an initial trust worth three parts.

As for the remaining seven, time would be needed to verify.

But this was not important, as Jiang Wang came here with a mindset to make amends.

He had decided to build the Tai Xu Corner Tower in Heavenly Mansion City.

The only Tai Xu Corner Tower that would be made public in the entire Qi Country this time could not, in terms of its intrinsic value, compare with the Heavenly Abode Secret Land that could help people reserve Divine Skills.

Yet in terms of development value, it wasn’t necessarily inferior, and one could even say it had the upper hand.

Simply because the Heavenly Abode Secret Land opened once every twelve years.

For twelve years, swinging a hammer in business, no matter how high the selling price, there are limits.

Moreover, its overwhelmingly high failure rate greatly reduces the price.

But Tai Xu Corner Tower is different.

A single session at the Tai Xu Corner Tower could accommodate ninety-nine cultivators, and entering and exiting the Taixu Illusion Realm was absolutely safe.

Thus, setting what kind of threshold, allowing what kind of cultivator to enter, and charging what kind of fees became a matter with considerable room for imagination.

Yes, Jiang Wang thought it through all night, he decided to charge those who passes through the Tai Xu Corner Tower to enter and exit the Taixu Illusion Realm!

Forget about aptitude or not, Dao Yuan Stone was the key to entry.

Although the Tai Xu Corner Tower established within Qi Boundary had to be under the control of Qi Country,

that did not at all affect Jiang Wang, as the envoy of Taixu, and his ownership rights over the Tai Xu Corner Tower.

If one considers the Tai Xu Corner Tower as a shop, and using it to enter and exit the Taixu Illusion Realm as a business, then one could understand this matter relatively simply.

Qi Country provides the land, Jiang Wang builds a shop on this land and conducts the business of entering and exiting the Taixu Illusion Realm.

Of course Jiang Wang is the owner of this shop, but he still needs to pay business tax to Qi Country, and the shop is also under the control of Qi Country.

If there is anything that violates Qi’s Law, Qi Country could seal it at any time.

Lv Zongxiao, as the City Lord of Heavenly Mansion City, could indeed represent Qi Country to some extent and provide this piece of land.

“Brother Lv, I come to Heavenly Mansion City for this matter, to discuss it with you…”

As Jiang Wang explained his plan, Lv Zongxiao’s eyes shone brighter and brighter.

“…Under the name of the Lord of Heavenly Mansion City, you will become a shareholder in this Tai Xu Corner Tower.

In the future, the income that it generates, we’ll pay half of it as heavy taxes to the Court.

The rest, we can split five ways between the two of us.

What do you think?”

Xu Zefu did say the envoy of Taixu could use the Tai Xu Corner Tower any way he wants.

But what Xu Zefu said was the promise of the Taixu Sect.

And for the Tai Xu Corner Tower established in Qi Country, what cannot be ignored, of course, is the will of Qi Country.

Don’t forget that Qi Country’s condition for permitting the establishment of Tai Xu Corner Tower within its territory is that the builder must obtain the recognition of Qi Country.

Therefore, the Taixu Sect could only look among the People of Qi who met the conditions.

Qi Country sets the conditions; Taixu Sect finds the people.

That’s the compromise and checks and balances between the two.

Jiang Wang, being a man from Qingyang Town and a Fourth-Rank Green Badge Constable, might seem to be without question.

But would Qi Country truly approve him to establish the Tai Xu Corner Tower?

Wouldn’t it be better to choose another person from Qi who’s more well-known and obedient?

Or a side branch of the Jiang Surname Royal Family?

Jiang Wang did not hesitate to pay half of the income as heavy commercial tax for such recognition.

To put it bluntly, as long as Qi Country could benefit, he could also have his share.

There was nothing fair or unfair about it.

To put it more realistically, if it weren’t for Qi Country, if it weren’t for Jiang Wang having various titles in Qi Country, would the Taixu Sect need to negotiate with you, Jiang Wang, to establish the Tai Xu Corner Tower?

Would they need to give you rights?

If they acknowledge you, you are the prodigy among the deities with divine skills of the three mansions.

If not, you are just a Neifu Cultivator!

Jiang Wang was clear-minded, and Lv Zongxiao was certainly not muddled.

Before he had spoken much, his thoughts had already started stirring.

Once Jiang Wang had finished speaking, he immediately slapped his thigh, “This business can be done!”

“But we can’t split it that way.”

He patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder, very earnestly and firmly, “I know how much you’ve done for me, brother.

Where else can’t the Tai Xu Corner Tower be built?

You have so many friends, you can choose wherever you want to build in any county.

Even if you want to build in Qingyang Town, to prosper your domain, who could say anything?

You chose Heavenly Mansion City, that was pulling me up!

We can’t split it five ways between the two of us.

Let’s do this, four for you, one for me, that’s settled!

You can pick any spot in Heavenly Mansion City, even if it means tearing down my City Lord Mansion!”
