Shi Wu and the others flew outside the foggy city and then went dark.

They watched the layout of the foggy city at night from the sky. They found that not only shops in the city, but also spiritual stone lamps for lighting were set up every other section on each street. Below, the shops near the city gate and the city area had the largest number of customers.

Shi Wu expressed his feelings: "The location of the shop is really important. You must plan it carefully when building Fengyuan City in the future."

"Brother Shi, Yinyin has recorded it." Xia Yinyin nodded.

The guards of the mist-shaped city below bowed to Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin in the air and said, "Two distinguished guests, there is a formation barrier above my mist-shaped city. Please enter through the city gate."

Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin flew down as they were told, Shi Wu took the initiative to ask: "I wonder how many spirit stones are needed to enter the city?"

The four guards felt relieved after hearing this. Because they judged from the speed of Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin flying in, their cultivation was not lower than that of the late stage of the Jindan. The guard who spoke earlier said, "One person has a low-grade spirit stone."

Shi Wu delivered two low-grade spirit stones and said politely: "Brother, my master asked us to behave properly when we are outside. Can you tell me what taboos are there after entering the city?"

The guard saw that Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin were both extraordinary and heard Shi Wu’s tone of humility, and felt that they must be members of the sect. He said respectfully: “There is no special taboo except that I do not allow monks to fight privately in the city. If the guests encounter unfair things in the city, you can go to the Wuying Hall. The head of the hall, Senior Gu Yi, will dialect the right and wrong for the guests.”

Shi Wu took out a record jade slip and wrote down these two pieces so that Feng Yuancheng could be used as a reference in the future. Shi Wu asked about the place where the travel gate in the city and the shop selling spiritual rice and spiritual noodles, and walked in with Xia Yinyin.

The two of them missed the departure time of the flying boat and went to the travel gate base in the East District.

After Shi Wu took out the jade plaque of the travel gate headquarter that Fang Yuan gave him, the hospitality servant quickly went to find the manager.

The travel gate manager of the Fog-shaped City was a middle-aged man wearing a high hat. He did not dare to neglect to lead Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin to the rear fairy room. After closing the door, he leaned over to Shi Wu and the others and bowed: "The little Yuan Shen has seen two seniors."

Shi Wu stepped forward and helped Yuan Shen up and said, "Manager Yuan doesn't need to be so polite."

Yuan Shen said in a trepidated manner: "Let me... thank you senior!"

Shi Wu asked, "Manager Yuan, I wonder if there will be a flying boat to the head of the Travel Gate tonight?"

Yuan Shen said: "If you want to go back to the senior, the last flying boat passing through the Mist City today has already left at Shen Shi three minutes."

Shi Wu had to ask when he heard this, "When will the flying boat heading to the Travel Gate tomorrow set off?"

Seeing that Shi Wu didn't seem to know the use of this headquarter jade plaque, Yuan Shen asked boldly: "I wonder if my senior has used the power to dispatch flying boats three times in this jade plaque?"

"The power to dispatch flying boats three times? What is that?" Shi Wu said in confusion.

Yuan Shen was surprised by Shi Wu's reaction, but he still explained: "Senior, the owners of the jade plaque of the head of Xinglumen are all sect leaders of top sects or late-stage masters of superb Nascent Soul. Therefore, Xinglumen released privileges to them and allowed them to dispatch nearby flying boats three times at will."

Shi Wu said strangely: "Why did Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan not talk about this privilege to me?"

This was Shi Wu who mistakenly blamed Fang Yuan. When he and Guan Su and others went from Dingshen Sect to the Lotus Sect, he refused to even waive Fang Yuan's flight fee for four people, so later Fang Yuan did not mention that he could dispatch three flight boats after Shi Wu received the jade plaque in the headquarter.

When Yuan Shen heard that Shi Wu's headquarter jade plaque was given by Fang Yuan, their Zhongzhou chief manager, he felt awe of Shi Wu even more. He asked for instructions: "Senior, can you help you dispatch the flying boat?"

Shi Wu asked Xia Yinyin, "Yinyin, do you want to wait or leave or take a night off?"

Xia Yinyin didn't want to embark on a separate journey with Shi Wu so quickly. She whispered: "Brother Shi, I want to visit this foggy city. Don't you still want to buy spiritual rice noodles for Lan'er? Is it okay for us to leave tomorrow?"

Seeing that Xia Yinyin had a pleading voice, Shi Wu said to Yuan Shen: "Then I won't bother with Yuan. Just help me get two flying boat jade slips to the head of the Travel Gate tomorrow."

Yuan Shen said a word and went to the hall in front to get jade slips for Shi Wu and the others.

The hospitality servant brought two bowls of spiritual tea after Yuan Shen went out. He respectfully said: "Please use tea, two seniors. This is the specialty of our Wuying City - Wuyu Qingjian. Drinking it can strengthen the foundation and nourish the essence and nourish the spiritual veins."

"Thank you." Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin said in unison.

The hospitality servant was flattered and said, "You are kind to you, seniors. The younger one is waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just call the younger one."

After the hospitality servant finished speaking, he took the door and left the private room.

Shi Wu picked up the teacup, and a strong tea fragrance came to his nose through the cover. He opened the tea cover with interest, and the tea leaves inside were clear, green and green, like a sparrow tongue. He sipped it and felt that the teeth and cheeks were fragrant.

Shi Wu couldn't help but exclaim: "What a good tea!"

Xia Yinyin's view of spiritual tea is not as rich as Shi Wu. She just thinks this spiritual tea is delicious, and it is indeed as the hospitality servant said, which has the effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the spirit veins. She is even more curious about the grade of this spiritual tea.

Yuan Shen came back in a while. He not only held two flying boat jade slips in his hand, but also grabbed a storage bag. He first handed the two jade slips to Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin respectively. He said: "Two seniors, this flying boat was docked at the North City Gate at 3 o'clock tomorrow, and went directly to the headquarter Qianzhou Port."

After Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin packed the jade slips, Yuan Shen smiled and handed the storage bag and said, "The two seniors said they wanted to buy spiritual rice spiritual noodles. This fog-shaped city is very large and the shops are all kinds of. I was afraid that the two seniors would be tired, so I asked my subordinates to buy spiritual rice spiritual noodles for the two seniors 5,000 kilograms each."

Shi Wu did not go to pick up the storage bag, but asked first: "How many spirit stones have you spent in total?"

Yuan Shen said panickedly: "Senior can accept it, it's just a face for the young man. How can the young man still need the spirit stones of the senior?"

The Shiwu General drank all the tea in his cup and said, "I know this is your wish, but I don't like to owe others favors. Tell me a minute, and I will accompany my junior sister to visit the mist city at night."

Yuan Shen dared not disobey, saying, "Senior, just give me 500 medium-grade spirit stones."

Shi Wu took Yuan Shen's storage bag and put all the packed spiritual rice noodles in it into the storage bag he often used. He took out another 600 medium-grade spirit stones and put them in the storage bag and handed them back to Yuan Shen, saying, "I'll change the extra spirit stones from you. I wonder where to buy this spiritual tea and what the price is?"

Yuan Shen hurriedly replied: "This tea is only available in the fog-shaped teahouse, which is a shop run by the fog-shaped city. The senior went out of the travel door and walked to the bottom, then turned to the right and the seventh shop was the same. When the senior bought it, he must state that he wanted to buy the fog-rain green needle, otherwise it would be easy to have misunderstandings."

"Old man, why are you so embarrassed?" Shi Wudao.

The old man with white eyebrows smiled and said, "It's your first time to come to Mist-shaped City. Anyone who spends 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones in Mist-shaped City can bring one or two companions to the Mist-shaped Pavilion's medium-grade spiritual power room for three days. You have spent 600,000 medium-grade spirit stones and have long been qualified to be able to stay in the top-grade spiritual power room. Okay, go with Xiao Zhao, I'm still busy here."

The young man named Xiao Zhao also came to Shi Wu: "Please, two guests."

Shi Wu heard with his ears that his heartbeat was not fluctuating at all when the old man was talking. He knew that the other party was not deceiving. He bowed to the old man and walked out with Xia Yinyin and Xiao Zhao.

The streets of the Mist-shaped City were crowded. Seeing that the city lord here was so prosperous in operating this large city, he took the initiative to talk to Xiao Zhao and said, "Xiao Zhao, I don't know what other industries are in addition to the Mist-shaped teahouse?"

Xiao Zhao thought Shi Wu wanted to buy some other items, so he enthusiastically introduced: "Customer, our shop in the Fog-shaped City only has two Fog-shaped teahouses and a Fog-shaped pavilion. If you want something else, I can recommend a shop for you."

Shi Wu laughed and said, "You city lord is really a generous person. With so many customers coming in the Mist City, he will definitely make a fortune by opening a few more shops. But he not only opened three stores, but also the Mist Pavilion in the Mist Pavilion is rewarded to help other shops sell more items in disguise."

When Xiao Zhao heard Shi Wu praise their city lord, he said with Youyouyan: "Our city lord is indeed a generous person. He has no airs to treat us servants. Some old shops encounter difficulties, and he will also find ways to help them, introduce guests or reduce rent. I didn't understand why the city lord did this before, but once I heard him tell us that the good things in the world are endless to make, and those old shops are the seeds of the beginning of the construction of the city of Mist-shaped City. They grew into big trees together with Mist-shaped City. Now there are insect pests on those big trees. Instead of uprooting them and throwing them out, it is better to think of ways to remove the places that were eaten by insects and give those big trees time to recover."

Shi Wu was interested and said, "Your city lord is not only a generous person, but also a nostalgic person."

When Xiao Zhao was about to agree, he saw someone coming from the front. He quickly bowed and said, "Hello, lord!"

Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin looked in the voice and saw a middle-aged gentleman wearing blue robe and Confucian scarf standing in front of them. The man smiled and said to Xiao Zhao, "No need to be polite. Is it really okay for you to raise me so much in front of the distinguished guests?"

Xiao Zhao heard that the city lord in front of him had no intention of blaming him, and he laughed and said, "I'm just telling the truth, and the guests think you are generous first."

The middle-aged scholar stopped Xiao Zhao and said, "Okay, you go back to the teahouse to help first. Mr. Gao said that another group of customers had arrived, and they were all too busy."

Xiao Zhao asked, "Then are these two distinguished guests?"

The middle-aged Yashi said, "I will take them to the Fog Shape Pavilion."

"Okay, the city lord will walk slowly, and the two distinguished guests will walk slowly." Xiao Zhao bowed to the three of them and ran towards the teahouse.

The middle-aged scholar looked at Xiao Zhao's running back and said, "It's great to be young, you can be so energetic in everything you do."

He bowed to Shi Wu and sent a voice to him, "Gu Kai has met two seniors. I have seen the portrait of Senior Shi a month ago. I wonder what the other senior calls him?"

Shi Wu didn't expect that his identity had been seen through by Gu Kai, and the people around him also cast attention to him because Gu Kai bowed to him. He said, "Yin Yin, the Lord Gu said there is no need to be polite. We are afraid that we will not dare to go to Wuying Pavilion if he does this."

Gu Kai smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao and I are masters and servants, and etiquette will be exempted from etiquette. But you two are distinguished guests, so you still have the etiquette you should have. You are very interested in the layout and business model of my Wuying City. Why don't we go to Wuying Pavilion to taste tea while talking about it?"

"I originally agreed to go on a night trip with my junior sister." Shi Wu said a pity.

Gu Kai apologized: "I was abrupt."

Xia Yinyin heard in front that Shi Wu wanted to ask Gu Kai for advice on the management method of the city. She said, "The City Lord Gu is so serious, it's cold at night, so let's go to the Fog Shape Pavilion."

After hearing this, Gu Kai looked at Shi Wu.

Since it was Xia Yinyin's suggestion, Shi Wu naturally had no objection.

Under Gu Kai's leadership, they passed through the Fog-shaped Pavilion.

When the shopkeeper of the Fog-shaped Pavilion saw that Gu Kai was coming, he hurriedly went up to him and said, "See the city lord."

Gu Kai said: "These two are my distinguished guests. You can prepare a high-quality spiritual power room for each of them, and then use a meeting room on the second floor for us."

The shopkeeper of the Mist Pavilion immediately brought two door spirit stones and took them into a private room with abundant spiritual power. It was quiet and elegant, with several flower-like plants and a pool of spirit fish swimming in various colors.

Gu Kai told: "Please sit down, two seniors."

Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin came to the square table beside them and sat down. They found that the side on the right side facing the street was actually a formation barrier. They could see the crowds coming and going below, but the people below could not see them.

After sitting down, Gu Kai said to Shi Wu: "Senior Shi has anything to know, I will definitely know everything."

Shi Wu said politely: "Master Gu, you should know that my Fengyuan Sect is building Fengyuan City. I want to learn from you a few words, so that Fengyuan Sect can avoid detours."

Gu Kai poured spiritual tea for Shi Wu and Xia Yinyin: "We dare not take responsibility for the Buddhist scriptures. We just like each other and chatted while watching the scenery."

"Okay." Shiwudao.

Gu Kaiwen said, "Senior Shi, I wonder what kind of industry Fengyuan City will focus on in the future?"

Shi Wu replied: "We have asked the Beast-Driving Sect to help us raise a group of spirit beasts. The Man Yue Peak in our sect will also refine pills for sale, but the biggest income should be the rent of the city shops collected in a hundred years."

Gu Kai took a sip of the spirit tea ceremony: "Senior Shi, I remember that the Beast-Driving Sect is your ally, and it mainly sells spirit beasts. If you also sell spirit beasts, even if the Sect Master Wang Meng agrees, the monks under him will more or less have ideas. And if you have elixirs, you Fengyuan Sect do not have the advantage. Houxin City is not far away from your Fengyuan Sect. The northern Travel Sect and Zhuguang Pavilion are all in Houxin City. As for what you said about collecting rent, it will be at least a hundred years later. So I would like to ask Senior Shi first, is your sect ready for long-term investment?"

Shi Wu pointed out the key point when he saw Gu Kai's words. He confirmed: "The investment is not a problem, the main thing is how to attract traffic."

Gu Kai looked at the crowd below and said, "Does Senior Shi know how Mizushi City started?"

"Will it involve the secret Xin of the Mist-shaped City?" Shi Wu said scruples.

Gu Kai smiled and said, "This is not the case. The surrounding sect forces have heard more or less. Wuying City is the home of my ancestors of the Gu family who are auctioning Wuyu Qingjian."

Shi Wu said incrediblely: "I started with the auction of Wuyu Qingjian? Did there be very few Wuyu Qingjian back then?"

Gu Kai laughed and said, "It's just that there are few outflows. There was nothing that could be said at the beginning of the construction of the city of Wuying City, and only Wuyu Qingting could attract some people. So my ancestors controlled the number of Wuyu Qingting. There were only twenty boxes for auctions twice a year. At the highest, one box had a price of 189 high-grade spirit stones."
