Chapter 269 – Open the gateway

The members of the Tongtian Pavilion were not many, each with their own responsibilities and areas of expertise. Among them, Bu Qiurong was in charge of the pavilion's finances.

He was not just in charge of the pavilion's money, but also had to make the money grow and increase the pavilion's wealth.

Bu Qiurong followed Su Yun into the envoy's mansion and said, "During the pioneering period, the Tongtian Pavilion had already laid out its overseas layout, and its industries overseas are even larger than those in the mainland. The brothers and sisters in the pavilion knew that the pavilion master was coming overseas, so they asked me to come along and take care of it."

Su Yun couldn't hide his fatigue and smiled, "I just arrived in Yundu today and didn't have any money, so I saved up a little."

In the courtyard of the Yuan Shuo envoy's mansion, hundreds of spiritual artifacts were neatly arranged, as well as clothes and garments, which were also neatly folded. Several little monsters were folding the remaining clothes under Ying Ying's leadership.

Su Yun invited Bu Qiurong to take a seat and asked the little monsters to bring some tea. Bu Qiurong glanced at them and said, "Pavilion Master, I came here because I heard that you arrived in Da Qin, so I asked you to check the pavilion's industries in Da Qin. Do you have time now?"

He looked at the little monsters busy in the courtyard and frowned slightly.

When Su Yun heard about the pavilion's industries in Da Qin, he couldn't help but become interested. He called Ying Ying and said with a smile, "Ying Ying, Brother Bu said that our Tongtian Pavilion has some industries in Da Qin. We won't have to work so hard like today in the future."

Ying Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked eagerly, "Brother Bu, how many industries does the Tongtian Pavilion have in Da Qin?"

"The Tongtian Pavilion has only a few industries in Da Qin, accounting for one-tenth of its overseas industries."

Bu Qiurong looked at the wealth in the courtyard and said, "Is the pavilion master worried about money? Why didn't you say it earlier? Our Tongtian Pavilion is as rich as a country overseas."

Su Yun was stunned and asked, "Say it again? Our Tongtian Pavilion is rich in what?"

Bu Qiurong took out two lock rings from his spiritual realm and placed them on the ground. The lock rings were the size of a bowl and emitted a faint green light.

Bu Qiurong activated the lock rings, and suddenly a green pillar of light emerged, with various strange runes and textures appearing on it, constantly shining.

These runes and textures formed various forms of divine demons in the shape of pixiu on the green pillar, looking adorable.

Between the two green pillars, there was a connection of light, forming a gateway in the shape of a pixiu's mouth.

Bu Qiurong bowed and made a gesture of invitation, smiling, "As rich as a country."

Ying Ying flew to the gateway and saw the light gradually dimming. The gateway of the pixiu showed the color of a green coin, with the pattern of a pixiu opening its mouth to devour a giant green coin. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Bu, when you say 'as rich as a country,' do you mean it literally or is it just a way to describe the Tongtian Pavilion's wealth?"



Bu Qiurong pushed open the gateway of the pixiu and thought for a moment before saying, "Literally as rich as a country."

Su Yun and Ying Ying felt dizzy and breathless.

With a creak, the gateway of the pixiu opened, revealing another spiritual realm behind it, similar to the Tian Dao Ling of the Tian Dao Academy. It was also a separate spiritual realm space created by the Tongtian Pavilion.

However, the spiritual realm space of the Tian Dao Academy was for scholars to study in, while the Tongtian Pavilion's spiritual realm space was used for storage.

Su Yun and Ying Ying entered the gateway of the pixiu and saw rows and rows of bookshelves in this spiritual realm, stretching as far as the eye could see.

On the bookshelves were stacks of golden paper, shining brightly.

Apart from the bookshelves, there was also a bamboo forest with several grass huts.

It was not as magnificent as they had expected.

Su Yun and Ying Ying had thought that behind the gateway of the pixiu, there would be the treasure trove of the Tongtian Pavilion, filled with wealth like the vast sea. But they didn't expect to see only this row of bookshelves and the bamboo forest!

At this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from the bamboo forest.

In the next moment, a cute and adorable pixiu divine demon came forward, holding a green bamboo shoot in one hand and scratching its butt with the other. It chewed on the bamboo shoot while saying, "So it's Bu Qiurong, coming to bother me for no reason again..."

It quickly finished the bamboo shoot in three or two bites and stared at Su Yun and Ying Ying, squinting its round eyes. "So this is the new pavilion master of the Tongtian Pavilion? Such a young little brat, your Tongtian Pavilion is getting worse and worse, declining day by day... Look at me in the eyes, little brat!"

Ying Ying was frightened and pushed Su Yun forward timidly, saying in a trembling voice, "I'm not the pavilion master, he is..."

The pixiu divine demon glanced at Su Yun, scratched its butt, and scratched its head with a mischievous smile. "I said, why is the new pavilion master so small... Come with me, little brats!"

It took out another bamboo shoot from somewhere and walked ahead with its fat butt swaying from side to side, saying in a loud voice, "Every generation of new pavilion masters will come here to see the wealth of the Tongtian Pavilion. During the pioneering period, the Tongtian Pavilion had already laid out its overseas layout. At that time, the overseas tribes, whether they were colored people, red-haired barbarians, Kunlun slaves, or Malin people, were all ignorant and barbaric."

Its body was as tall as a mountain, and Su Yun and Bu Qiurong followed behind it, as if there was a black and white fleshy mountain moving in front of them.

Bu Qiurong whispered, "Pavilion Master, Senior Pixiu has a very high seniority and should not be underestimated. He is a member of the first generation of the Tongtian Pavilion. When the Tongtian Pavilion followed the Holy Emperor to explore overseas, he was the Holy Emperor's mount. The Holy Emperor went back, but he stayed behind to guard the pavilion's wealth..."

Su Yun and Ying Ying couldn't help but be shocked.

Ying Ying looked up at the back of the pixiu divine demon and murmured, "Then he must be four or five thousand years old..."

The pixiu divine demon walked between the golden bookshelves, stuffing the bamboo shoot between its teeth and cheeks to prevent it from falling. It took out a stack of golden paper and said, "In order to explore the ancient mysteries, unravel the mystery of the previous world's destruction and the mystery of communication with the heavens, the Tongtian Pavilion went overseas to explore the truth. In the process of dealing with the local tribes, we brought the civilization of Yuan Shuo, as well as their language, calendar, currency, and other things. These overseas tribes gradually established cities and became independent forces. During this period, the Tongtian Pavilion accumulated considerable assets in various countries."

Su Yun and Ying Ying's hearts were pounding.

The pixiu divine demon took out a piece of golden paper and continued, "For example, in Da Qin, one-tenth of the land belongs to the Tongtian Pavilion. This is one of the land deeds."

Su Yun quickly looked at it, but the golden paper was blank.

The pixiu divine demon pointed its finger and lightly tapped the golden paper, and runes appeared on it.

The land deed on this golden paper mentioned the agreement between the Tongtian Pavilion and the king of Da Qin when Da Qin was founded, which assigned a certain piece of land in Yundu to the Tongtian Pavilion. This agreement would accompany the Da Qin kingdom for generations as long as the bloodline of Da Qin people existed.

The pixiu divine demon took out another piece of golden paper, and Su Yun followed suit, using his own vitality to activate the golden paper, and the words appeared.

The content on this golden paper was a lease agreement, stating that Jian Ge in Da Qin leased this piece of land and had to pay one-tenth of the proceeds to the Tongtian Pavilion every year.

Su Yun's mind was in a daze.

"In addition, the Tongtian Pavilion also has estates, mines, rivers, waterways, and other industries in Da Qin."

The pixiu divine demon took out a bamboo shoot from its mouth, walked with its fat butt swaying from side to side, and said, "These golden papers on the bookshelves all have similar content. The Tongtian Pavilion's industries in Da Qin are concentrated here. Originally, there weren't so many, but in recent years, Bu Qiurong has invested in Da Qin's manufacturing industry, adding some more. This little brat has done a good job..."

Su Yun and Ying Ying felt like they couldn't breathe.

"This row here is the land deeds and mining deeds of Dawa, and this row is for Daxia. Over there are the deeds of Malin, Luosha, Anxi, and Biao countries. The overseas industries of the Tongtian Pavilion are gathered here."

The pixiu divine demon led them to browse through the rows of bookshelves and said, "Every generation of pavilion masters will come here. Those little brats are pitiful. They only live for a hundred years and can't even spend a single hair of this much money..."

It turned around and glanced at Su Yun with ill intentions, whispering, "This generation's pavilion master is such a little brat, it seems like he has no luck. I guess he will die before he can spend even half a hair..."

Su Yun was furious, but with so much money, it was indeed difficult to spend it all.

"This is too much..." His mind was in chaos. n0VelUsb.c0M

Bu Qiurong coughed and reminded, "Pavilion Master, the Tongtian Pavilion has already established an overseas branch, and the overseas branch has also selected its own pavilion master. Now there is a dispute between the mainland Tongtian Pavilion and the overseas branch. If the legitimate authority falls into the hands of the overseas branch, then these industries will have nothing to do with the pavilion master."

Ying Ying couldn't contain her anger and clenched her fists, waving them heavily. "How can that be? They are all ours! Even if they try to snatch them, Uncle Pixiu won't give them away, right, Grandpa Pixiu?"

"Calling me Grandpa Pixiu won't help."

The pixiu divine demon sneered, "Since the establishment of the Tongtian Pavilion, there has never been any discrimination based on race. Whether it's Yuan Shuo people, colored people, or Malin people, anyone can join the Tongtian Pavilion. Even the descendants of divine demons and other races can enter the Tongtian Pavilion and even become the pavilion master. The previous pavilion masters were all Yuan Shuo people, but Yuan Shuo has declined now. Even if a foreign pavilion master comes, it doesn't matter much to the Tongtian Pavilion."

Su Yun looked at Bu Qiurong, and Bu Qiurong whispered, "That's the idea. However, this matter is extremely complicated. The various countries overseas are eyeing the wealth of the Tongtian Pavilion and want to divide the wealth accumulated by the Tongtian Pavilion over thousands of years while Yuan Shuo is declining. If they succeed, the Tongtian Pavilion will be on the verge of extinction."

Su Yun fell silent for a moment and asked, "How old is the current pavilion master of the overseas branch? How strong is his cultivation?"

Bu Qiurong hesitated for a moment and truthfully replied, "He is about the same age as the pavilion master, maybe a year or two older, but his cultivation is slightly stronger than the pavilion master."

"Stronger than me?"

Su Yun clenched his fists, flexed his muscles, and said lightly, "Impossible, right? Does his pectoral muscle match the strength of my pectoral muscle?"

Ying Ying was a little worried, "Su Scholar seems to be too influenced by Senior Ying Long..."

The pixiu divine demon looked at Su Yun with a shocked expression, "This little brat pavilion master reminds me of that guy who was obsessed with muscles and had nothing else in his head..."
