The ability of Tianhuo City to become the most populous city in Lansha Island is inseparable from its natural advantage of having the most earth-center fire veins on the island.

But if you look closely, the Zhong family, who had previously managed Tianhuo City, also made great contributions.

The Earth-center Fire Vein itself is one of the indispensable conditions for the formation of elixirs. In addition, in the nearby Lianyun Mountains, the spiritual medicines that are included in the product are unknown. The Tianhuo City, which combines these two major advantages, naturally became the first city to settle in by the alchemy family.

No matter where these alchemists go, they will attract countless monks to flock to them. Therefore, on Lansha Island, some casual cultivators or slightly weaker foundation-building and Qi training families, will choose to gain a foothold.

These monks often brought many mortals who served them. After a while, the total population of Tianhuo City became higher and higher, and the difficulty of governance was also considered to be the highest among the ten cities in Lansha Island.

Fortunately, there are also many smart people in the Zhong family, and they came up with a governance strategy to divide the internal and external cities.

Since all the earth-center fire veins in the city are concentrated in the north, the slightly smaller northern city is turned into an inner city. A large piece on the south is called an outer city.

Among them, there are about 10,000 monks living in the inner city to the north, while the larger outer city to the south, the number of mortals living in the outer city is as high as 3 million.

In this way, it only takes a small amount of manpower and material resources to govern the outer city of mortals, and the inner city where the monks are located is sent to patrol the clan members of the high-level Qi training tribe. In this way, Tianhuo City is really in good order.

It’s a pity that although the actual governor of Tianhuo City at that time was the Zhong family, the real owner was the Guo family who dominated Lanshaxi Island. Therefore, after the Zhong family's governance method worked, the Guo family immediately took over the position of the inner city lord and handed over the outer city to the Zhong family to manage.

You should know that these casual cultivators or children of small tribes in the inner city risked their lives day and night to collect spiritual medicines from the Lianyun Mountains and kill monsters. In the end, the materials were digested in the inner city, and countless benefits were generated.

As soon as the Guo clan members took over the inner city, they made a fee for entry in the north city. At the highest point, they heard that it was as high as dozens of spirit stones, which scared away many people at that time.

Fortunately, there will be no good ending when the rebellion is done. Since Guo was defeated in 2273, Zijian Pavilion entered Tianhuo City and returned to Baili City, Baili Bowen, as the city lord, only symbolically each monk charged a spiritual stone for entry fee, and canceled all the previous Guo family's various obviously disadvantaged government orders.

In addition, Zi Jiange has made great efforts to establish an alchemy lineage, and has placed the sect's alchemy lineage directly in Tianhuo City with Baili Bowen as the master of the meridians. He began to include cultivators with alchemy talent, which has attracted the cultivators on the island to flock to it.

From 1973 to 1990, I heard that the number of people in the inner city has increased by at least about 50%, not to mention that a formation master has recently come, which has once again detonated Tianhuo City. Even many old foundation-building ancestors came from thousands of miles away.

As for the purpose! I think it's similar to myself.

Li Qingxiao listened to Liu Qingye's detailed description behind him, while also thinking in his mind.

It seems that he has underestimated the sensation caused by this formation master. He can think of asking this formation master to set up a spirit gathering array in the Bayushan clan, so how could other people not have imagined it!

When Li Qingye heard that many old foundation-building families on the island came to find the formation master from thousands of miles away, Li Qingxiao shook his head secretly, not very optimistic about his last purpose.

At this time, it was less than a moment's journey away from Tianhuo City, and it was still someone else's land. Li Qingxiao would never fly in with his sword. When the three of them saw Tianhuo City, they fell directly to the ground.

When Liu Qingye came for the second time, he was familiar with the road and took Li Qingxiao and Chen Qingshan to the north city gate. Li Qingxiao didn't want to make a big fuss during this trip. Liu Qingye handed over three spirit stones and went straight into the city.

Not to mention the identity of the Li clan leader of the Li clan in Heigu City, as long as he reveals his cultivation level in the foundation-building realm, Baili, the host of Tianhuo City, will also send a person of the same cultivation level to greet him.

However, Li Qingxiao has always believed in the principle of making a fortune in a quiet voice, being a low-key person, and doing things at a high-profile manner, and does not pay much attention to these false gifts. After this trip, he did not even notify the family's newly opened Juxian Restaurant Branch in Tianhuo City.

Juxian Restaurant is a relatively important one in the Li family's industry, and is specifically responsible for the third brother Li Qingkang. In recent years, the six cities under the control of Zijian Pavilion have also opened branches, and Tianhuo City is naturally no exception.

"By the way, I remember the third brother said that Lu Qinglian, who is in charge of the business of Juxian Restaurant in Tianhuo City, seems to be a junior brother who graduated at the same time in the General Hospital, right?"

When Chen Qingshan and the others nodded when they heard the patriarch's inquiry.

There are six branches of Juxian Restaurant, and Li Qingkang is naturally unable to tell the clone. Not to mention him, even now Li Qinghan is busy with the expansion of the Lingyu Guild.

At this time, the role of these monks with the name of Qing's name who graduated from Qingxiao General Academy was played out!

The first-class children of the Qing generation who graduated in 1975 now have about the intermediate level of Qi training. Although they can't stand alone, they are more than enough to be responsible for the operation of a restaurant under the name of Li. Not to mention that Li Qingkang, who is the ninth floor of Qi training, often patrolls and walks around the Liucheng Restaurant to stand up for them.

These Qing-Ying family members were responsible for the operation of a restaurant in Yicheng. They not only received contributions from the clan affairs hall, but also had an extra performance reward set by Li Qingkang for them. This is naturally a big deal. Therefore, Lu Qinglian, among the disciples who graduated from the first phase of the Qing-Ying family, was still among the top, and had a good relationship with Chen Qingshan.

Liu Qingye asked one or two passers-by and soon found Juxian Restaurant located in the center of North City.

From a distance, a magnificent and magnificent five-story building came into view. Li Qingxiao nodded. It seemed that the business methods he taught Li Qingkang were not considered in vain!

The business philosophy of Juxian Restaurant was planned by Li Qingxiao for Li Qingkang according to the star-rated restaurant in his previous life. All specifications are based on the top-notch ones, and the style and grade are required.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. There are more than 40 million people on Lansha Island, and less than one thousand monks account for. I think they should be arrogant and not as good as the world's fireworks.

But Li Qingxiao's contacts and experiences over the past 20 years have made him feel more and more that the monks are just higher-level humans!

They also have the joys, sorrows and happiness of ordinary people, there are also face-to-face disputes, and even the same fucking camp among monks.

The concept of Juxian Restaurant is to give priority to customers and treat every monk as an immortal. Even the maids in the restaurant invite the innate realm. Among them, there are even a few female monks with low-level Qi training in the fifth floor VIP pavilion specially prepared for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Using monks as maids caused a sensation when this move just came out, and also laid the foundation for the reputation of Juxian Restaurant.

However, most of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm are mainly pure cultivation. To be honest, there are not many guests at the restaurant. Therefore, most of the fifth floors of Juxian Restaurant are used as decorations. Occasionally, there is a rare time to welcome the monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm. At the beginning, Li Qingkang also suggested to Li Qingxiao to cancel the fifth floor, but Li Qingxiao rejected it.

It can be used, but it cannot be built without construction. It is also a way to show high standards. Although Li Qingkang only knew and understood it half-understand, he still did it.

Afterwards, it was proved that Li Qingxiao's idea was not wrong. As soon as Juxian Restaurant came out, in most cities, except for the local families that had been operating for many years, there were almost no competitors, and the business was even more booming.

At this time, in Juxian Restaurant, Li Qingxiao and Chen Qingshan were sitting by the window on the third floor, waiting for Liu Qingye to come.

But after a while, a middle-aged monk followed behind Liu Qingye, with a slightly dull expression on his face, but it was obvious that he could still see a look of excitement and excitement.

"It's a rare thing! Manager Lu, there are distinguished guests today, so you still want to come out in person?"

"Shopkeeper Lu..."

…………

While walking, many diners on the third floor greeted each other, and Lu Qinglian also gave gifts with kind expressions.

Seeing this scene, Li Qingxiao nodded first, looking dull, but seeing that he had a good relationship with these diners, the third brother chose Lu Qinglian, who was a businessman, seemed to be a business person.

When he walked to Li Qingxiao, Lu Qinglian was excited and almost bowed down. A force held his body and made him unable to bow down. It was Li Qingxiao.

Seeing that there were many diners staring at this side, Lu Qinglian immediately understood and hurriedly took the three of them to find a quiet private room.

When he arrived at the private room, Lu Qinglian respectfully worshiped Li Qingxiao and said, "Lu Qinglian, a disciple of the First Division of the General Academy, pay homage to the patriarch!"

"No need to be polite, how long have you been to Tianhuo City?"

"It's been six years since Qinglian was appointed by the Clan Affairs Hall in 2284 and came to Tianhuo City to serve as the manager of Juxian Restaurant."

Li Qingxiao nodded slightly and asked Lu Qinglian to bring the account book of Juxian Restaurant.

Lu Qinglian was obviously prepared and took out a thick account book directly from the ring.

Juxian Restaurant has been in Tianhuo City for eight years. Li Qingxiao gently looked through the account book and had a clearer understanding of Lu Qinglian's abilities.

In 2281, Li Qingkang personally went to Tianhuo City to open a Juxian Restaurant. You should know that the construction specifications of Juxian Restaurant are all based on the highest level, and the cost alone is more than two million spirit stones.

In the first two years, Li Qingkang could only take it back and recovered the construction cost. In the third year, the total surplus was 120,000 spirit stones, and then he started to make money.

In the fourth year, Li Qingkang went to Linjiang City to open a new branch building, and handed it over to Lu Qinglian, who was sent from the clan affairs hall.

After Lu Qinglian took over, he grew by 10% of his profits every year, which lasted for four years, and in the past two years the growth rate was close to 20%.

By last year, the profit amount had reached about 240,000. It has to be said that Lu Qinglian's business talent was indeed very good.

After closing the account book, Li Qingxiao nodded, and a hint of joy appeared on Lu Qinglian's face.

"You have been here for six years and have neglected a lot of practice. I'll give you this bottle of Qi Condensation Pill!"

After taking Li Qingxiao's jade bottle and looking at the more than 20 Qi Condensation Pills lying inside, Lu Qinglian's face suddenly felt a rosy look on his face, and he was very surprised.

He served as the shopkeeper of Juxian Restaurant, and his annual dividends were actually not low. According to the sharing model set by Li Qingkang, he earned about tens of thousands of spirit stones every year.

The bottle of Qi Condensation Pill thrown to him by the patriarch can instantly support his dividend for two years. How could he not be excited?

"Thank you, the leader of the clan, Qinglian will continue to work hard to run the Juxian Restaurant!"

Li Qingxiao nodded and suddenly asked, "You are only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation. If a monk comes to the restaurant to cause trouble, what will you do on weekdays?"

Hearing the clan leader's inquiry, Lu Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and an incredible expression rose on his face, saying, "The clan leader is joking, with the Fire Jade Fairy, who else dares to come here to make trouble in Tianhuo City?"

Fire Jade Fairy?

A hint of confusion rose in Li Qingxiao's eyes. Lu Qinglian immediately knew that the clan leader had not been to Tianhuo City for several years and did not know about this. He quickly explained it to him.

The more Lu Qinglian explained it, the confused expression in Li Qingxiao's eyes slowly disappeared.

A fiery red slim figure gradually became clear in my mind, gradually overlapping with the little beggar I picked up in Bayu Mountain more than 20 years ago.
