Chapter 403 Collapse of Faith
As the three Jindan Realm cultivators left, the residents of Wannan City began to speculate about their purpose.
It seemed that there had been no new Jindan Realm cultivators in Wannan City for some time.
The last time they saw Jindan Realm cultivators was when the Jindan Realm elders of Qingyun Sect left the Wanwu Grocery Store in disgrace.
......
At the City Lord's Mansion.
The servants of the City Lord's Mansion were very busy, preparing to welcome the three noble guests.
Not long after, the City Lord's Mansion was decorated with lights and colors, just like a festival. Xie Yuanwei personally arranged a sumptuous banquet to entertain the three Jindan Realm cultivators from other places with the highest courtesy.
At the banquet, Shopkeeper Li and his companions were not only treated with top-quality spiritual food and delicacies, but also had the opportunity to taste the unique spiritual wine of Wannan City. All this greatly changed the impression of the three people on Wannan City.
After having a good meal, Shopkeeper Li proposed the idea of setting up a branch of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce in Wannan City, and elaborated on its potential benefits and development prospects.
After hearing this, Xie Yuanwei was overjoyed.
He had heard of the reputation of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce a long time ago.
It was a super chamber of commerce that only appeared in all the major cities of immortal cultivators in the Dagan Dynasty.
Because of the existence of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, a city often has immortal cultivators coming here to buy their favorite items in the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce often auctions many rare cultivation resources.
An auction held by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce can attract enough immortal cultivators to bid.
And at that time, how could Wannan City not prosper.
Xie Yuanwei now thinks about that scene, which is absolutely exciting.
How can a small immortal cultivator city like their Wannan City be favored by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce?
In the future, Wannan City will no longer be dominated by the Wanwu Grocery Store.
Finally, a strong competitor appeared in the Wanwu Grocery Store.
Wannan City finally didn't have to become an entertainment city.
He, Xie Yuanwei, often worried about this, and often thought about how to change Wannan City so that he would not become the lord of an entertainment city.
Since he came to Wannan City, the development of Wannan City has gradually moved towards entertainment.
How many shops are still alive in Wannan City now?
Even among the few shops that are alive, which one is not alive because of the Wanwu Grocery Store.
If this continues, he really has no hope of being transferred out of Wannan City.
But now the opportunity has come. As long as Wannan City has the Sihai Chamber of Commerce settled in, Wannan City will surely usher in a revolutionary change again.
And he himself is likely to be sent to a more prosperous city.
The future changes of Wannan City are all because of his governance, which has made it more prosperous. These are all his political achievements.
After some discussion, Xie Yuanwei agreed to the plan of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce to open a branch in Wannan City, and promised to give the greatest support and convenience.
And Shopkeeper Li also promised that the Sihai Chamber of Commerce would abide by the rules of Wannan City and would not disrupt the order of Wannan City.
In this process, all discussions went smoothly, as if it was a natural outcome.
Xie Yuanwei did not mention the words "Wanwu Grocery Store".
There was another round of toasts and greetings.
The people present were all imagining the future prosperity of Wannan City.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Li suddenly asked a question that hit Xie Yuanwei's soul.
"City Lord Xie, we strolled around the city casually today and found that there were only a few shops selling cultivation resources in Wannan City, and the others were all entertainment venues?"
Shopkeeper Li had such doubts for a long time, but he had always regarded the cultivators in Wannan City as mainly casual cultivators with weak strength.
Moreover, Wannan City lacked the source of cultivation resources, so those casual cultivators were so decadent that they only cared about pleasure and did not think about cultivation at all.
Therefore, Wannan City gradually derived many entertainment venues.
When Xie Yuanwei suddenly heard the question from Li, his expression froze and he hesitated for a moment. He knew in his heart that he could not cover it up in the end.
He could only helplessly explain: "This matter is a long story, and it has to start from the previous mayor of Wannan City."
Li said with interest: "Oh, there is a story here, then I would like to hear the details."
Xie Yuanwei smiled bitterly, and then told the story, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, about why Wannan City changed.
After a long time.
Xie Yuanwei felt that he had talked dry, but he finally told the cause and process of the matter clearly.
Xie Yuanwei spoke happily, as if he had said something that had been pent up in his heart for a long time, and his state of mind showed a sign of clarity.
But Li and the other two were shocked, their faces were uncertain, and their minds seemed to have been hit hard and were about to explode.
"How is it possible that the cultivation resources sold at Wanwu Grocery Store are so cheap?" Yu Mingyuan couldn't help but ask.
He was the one who questioned whether it made sense to open a branch in Wannan City.
Now he is no longer questioning whether it makes sense to open a branch, he now feels that his faith has collapsed.
It turns out that the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is not omnipotent?
"Ah! The cultivation resources of the Wanwu Grocery Store are cheaper than those sold by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce?" Xie Yuanwei was even more shocked. He seemed to know something extraordinary.
The three shopkeepers Li were all shocked.
Xie Yuanwei was also shocked.
At this moment, Xie Yuanwei seemed to see cracks appearing in front of his eyes. That was his fantasy shattered.
"No, we must go and see this Wanwu Grocery Store.
In the Dagan Dynasty, how could there be a store that sells more comprehensive and cheaper items than our Sihai Chamber of Commerce?"
Shopkeeper Li was a little confused at this time. His faith seemed to collapse, and with it, his arrogance when he first came.
Suddenly, Shopkeeper Li looked at Xie Yuanwei with sharp eyes. He was still unwilling to believe that everything was true.
"City Lord Xie, do you not want our Sihai Chamber of Commerce to settle in Wannan City and deliberately lie to us?"
A very sinister idea just appeared in Shopkeeper Li's mind.
He was worried that Jie Yuanwei was the real boss behind the Wanwu Grocery Store. Jie Yuanwei said so much just to prevent the Sihai Chamber of Commerce from settling in Wannan City and snatching Jie Yuanwei's interests.
In his subjective consciousness, there could be no store more powerful than the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as Shopkeeper Li said this, the three of them simultaneously released their auras and suppressed Jie Yuanwei.
Jie Yuanwei's face flushed, and he said a little aggrievedly: "Three seniors, although I am the lord of a city, I am just a small foundation-building realm. How dare I lie to you.
If you don't believe it, you can go to the Wanwu Grocery Store now and check it out. Everything will be clear."
As soon as Jie Yuanwei said this, Shopkeeper Li and the other two were stunned at the same time.
It seemed that Jie Yuanwei had no need to lie to them, and he didn't have the strength.
The auras of the three people who suppressed Jie Yuanwei at the same time were relaxed.
Jie Yuanwei was finally able to catch his breath.
"City Lord Jie, we were too reckless just now. Let's go to this grocery store now. Please lead the way." Shopkeeper Li seemed to have regained his composure.
"No problem, three seniors, I'll take you there right away." Xie Yuanwei was relieved.
