After talking about Lu Zhenyang, I stopped talking.
Since Wang Yongjun was the host, I didn't want to steal the show. I kept talking about our shop. Then, I asked Wang Yongjun, "How's your business these days?"
When it came to business, Wang Yongjun didn't frown anymore. Instead, he smiled and said that although he had basically let his subordinates handle the business for the past two years, the situation was good. Moreover, the fengshui of the factory area I had chosen for him had helped his business become more and more prosperous.
In Shenzhen, he was just a local tycoon with a few small factories. Although his assets were in the eight or nine digits, it wasn't much in Shenzhen, a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
However, in just two years, his assets had quadrupled. This year, he had joined the Shenzhen Chamber of Commerce and was now a director.
I had just asked casually, but after hearing his words, I remembered that I had chosen the factory for him.
That year, I had chosen two geomancy layouts. One was the 'Heavenly Four Emerges from the Stable' and the other was the 'Celestial Crane Hanging Pecking.'
The 'Heavenly Four Emerges from the Stable' was an expensive layout. At that time, I was worried that Wang Yongjun was just a merchant and couldn't support his fortune. That was why I chose the 'Celestial Crane Hanging Pecking' layout for him.
Although the 'Celestial Crane Hanging Pecking' wasn't as good as the 'Heavenly Four Emerges from the Stable', it was better. Moreover, it wasn't expensive, which matched Wang Yongjun's status.
In just two short years, his business had improved greatly. From now on, his wealth would only last for a long time.
After telling me the details of the 'Celestial Crane Hanging Pecking' layout, Wang Yongjun was even happier. He pulled me and wanted to give me the check.
With my current cultivation base, worldly goods were useless to me. Moreover, I still had the income from my shop. I didn't lack money, but I didn't need it either.
Wang Yongjun was a man who had spent half his life in the business world. He could see that I wasn't just evading. He didn't insist.
Then, we started to talk about Dai Nanzhou.
I don't know if it was because of me, but Wang Yongjun valued Dai Nanzhou even more in the past two years. After handing over the project in Hong Kong to him, he sent him to the Central Plains to participate in and manage another big project. That's why he wasn't in Shenzhen this time.
I was happy to hear that Dai Nanzhou had taken over Wang Yongjun's business.
Other than the fatty and Zhang Kanwen, Dai Nanzhou was one of my only friends. Naturally, I hoped that he would be able to climb higher.
The meal lasted for more than three hours before everyone finally left. Wang Yongjun went back while Wang Kun sent us back to the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop.
It was already late at night when I returned to the shop, so I went to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande took out the account book of their Fengshui Metaphysics Shop and reported it to me.
When I first set up this Fengshui shop, it was only a spur of the moment idea. At that time, I thought of selling some talismans to support my path of cultivation. However, two years have passed, and the amount of time I've actually spent here can be counted on one hand. Most of the talismans are made here, but all the materials and supplies are bought by Xie and Liu. I really don't pay much attention to the accounts.
I guessed that the two of them felt that I had been a hands-off shopkeeper for too long and had lost confidence. That was why they came to me to report the accounts.
Since I had nothing to do, I took the account book and started to flip through it.
I didn't know that the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop had made a lot of money in the past two years.
In my eyes, the talismans that were mainly sold here were unimportant things. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, they were very precious. Even a small yellow talisman could be sold here for more than ten thousand.
Moreover, as the shop's reputation grew, the price kept increasing.
Although I was good at cultivation, I wasn't good at managing a business. I took the account book and flipped through it for a long time. Apart from the fact that the annual income was close to eight digits, I couldn't find anything else.
However, just by looking at the income, I knew that Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande had been working hard these years. Otherwise, the shop wouldn't have made so much money.
When I asked Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande to take care of the shop, I told them that half of the shop's income belonged to them. From the account book, the two of them had made a lot of money in the past few years. Their profits were even greater than when they were the presidents of the two Metaphysics Branches.
After looking through the account book, I prepared to go out and stroll around. Recently, I had entered Chiyou's tomb and continuously fought in the Heavenly Grand Ritual. My mind had been tense and I hadn't been able to relax for a long time.
I had nothing to do in Shenzhen for the next few days, so I prepared to relax and soothe my body and mind.
However, when I was about to go out, Xie Chenghua called out to me. He looked hesitant as if he had something to say.
Seeing this, I smiled and asked, "Speak. What's the matter?"
Seeing that I was so direct, Xie Chenghua no longer hesitated and said, "It's about the talismans.
Didn't you leave some Golden Light Talismans before you left?
The market for those things was pretty good. They were sold out not long after you left. "
"After that, there were many customers who came to ask for them. We told them that they were sold out, but there were many people who insisted on buying them. They even left their contact numbers and a large deposit. They told us that we should contact them as soon as possible, no matter how much money we had to spend …"
"Boss, replenishing the stock is something that Old Liu and I should do. After all, you've given us full authority to manage the shop. However, the Golden Light Talismans are too mystical. Old Liu and I tried to make them many times, but we didn't succeed, so …"
Xie Chenghua hesitated at the end, while Liu Xuande looked embarrassed. However, since they had already said this much, even if they didn't say it, I knew what was going on.
The Golden Light Talismans were sold out. They saw that the market prospects were good and wanted to make more for the shop. However, the Golden Light Talismans were too mystical. Even though the two of them tried many times, they didn't succeed. Thus, they decided to make more while I was here.
After all, the two of them were getting dividends from the shop. They couldn't let go of the money.
After understanding all of this, I chuckled.
The two of them used to be the presidents of the two Metaphysics branches. After running the Fengshui Metaphysics shop for two years, they had become real businessmen. They put all their efforts into running the shop.
Originally, I wanted to keep them by my side as my assistants.
However, my cultivation had progressed too fast in the past two years. With their cultivation, they couldn't be of much help. It was suitable for them to be small businessmen here.
Thus, I nodded and said to the two of them, "That's not a problem. This time, I still have plenty of time. I'll find some time to make a few more."
There was still half a month before the appointment with Lu Zhenyang in Hebei. During this time, I didn't have anything else to do. I could stay in the Fengshui Metaphysics shop and cultivate while being the shop's owner.
Seeing that I had agreed, Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande looked happy. However, they didn't leave. Instead, they started to talk about another topic.
This time, it was Liu Chuande who spoke to me. "Boss, there's one more thing I want to tell you … When Mount Longhu sent people here last time, Old Xie and I looked at the Heavenly Masters of Mount Longhu. We were a little worried. We wanted to contact you, but we couldn't reach you even after several calls. I want to ask if you have another way to contact me …"
His words were tactful, but I understood. He was worried that I would cause too much trouble outside and bring disaster to them.
The two of them were afraid of death. Previously, it had been peaceful in the Fengshui Metaphysics shop, so it wasn't a big deal.
However, after Lu Zhenyang and Mount Longhu came to cause trouble, they were afraid.
I didn't think much of it. It was human nature to be afraid of death. If we were to talk about it, I wouldn't be any better than the two of them.
Causing trouble wasn't something I could control, and I couldn't give them an answer. However, the communication problem he mentioned should be solved.
At that time, I should be in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
The Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land had been around since ancient times. It was impossible to have something like a mobile phone signal. It was normal that they couldn't contact me.
And it wasn't just there. I had been running around and going to many places over the years. If I thought about it carefully, there weren't many places where the mobile phone signal could reach.
Although I still had my mobile phone with me, it was basically just a decoration in the past few years. I didn't even receive many calls.
In Shenzhen, it wasn't just Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande. Zhang Kanwen and Little Wang Li were still here. There were also Wang Yongjun, Wang Kun, and the others. They were all considered my few friends in this world. If something happened and they couldn't contact me, it would be a big problem.
Take this time for example. If Zhang Kanwen hadn't used a secret technique to activate the Yin Yang Yama Pen, I wouldn't have known that something had happened to Little Wang Li, and I wouldn't have been able to rush back to rescue him.
Under the situation where Zhang Kanwen couldn't suppress it, it was unknown whether the little guy could survive or not.
From my experience in the past two years, I was afraid that I would encounter a lot of such things in the future. If I couldn't solve the communication problem, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be other troubles in the future.
After thinking for a moment, I had an idea.
It wasn't difficult. During this trip to the Blessed Land, Wang Can and Lu Zhenyang had given me a sound-transmitting talisman. This thing had a similar effect as a mobile phone, but the principle was completely different. It didn't need any signal at all. As long as one had cultivation, they could easily use it. Moreover, no matter where they were, it wouldn't affect them.
I had found a way, but there were still many difficulties.
When I was in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven last time, I had studied this sound-transmitting talisman out of boredom.
Although it was a talisman, it was something I had never dabbled in before. There was no record of it in the Death Scripture. I was afraid that I would have to spend a lot of effort to make it.
