Xu Yang raised an eyebrow and said, “If I kill Chiyan Ghost King and his pals, the general won’t take it out on you, will he?”
“No, he won’t.”
Yue Qiluo smiled and said, “The general usually focuses on his cultivation and doesn’t interfere much. As long as the major managers of the Ghost Market don’t start fights inside, he doesn’t care if they fight to the death outside… My dear, don’t worry. I’m going back this time to divide territories.”
“That’s good.”
Xu Yang laughed and said, “Dividing territories is a good thing, but if the general dares to give you a hard time, just send someone to let me know… If necessary, I’ll topple the Xi Xia Ghost Market, kill that damn general, and we’ll rule ourselves!”
This statement was not an exaggeration.
Nowadays, Xu Yang has the strength and connections to do so.
Leaving aside Grandmaster Chengming and Wang Hou, just Moon Niang alone is enough to dominate any Ghost Market, and even if the Ghost Market master personally takes action, it’s uncertain if he could even stop Moon Niang!
If necessary, just ask the “god” for help!
Lord Cui would always work, right?
After seeing off Yue Qiluo, Xu Yang went straight to the toy wholesale market.
He found a store.
The owner of the store was a retired soldier, and the store had a wide variety of “weapon” toys, including various firearms, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, tanks, etc.
“Boss, do any of these toys have more firepower?”
Xu Yang called the boss over to inquire.
The boss said, “Sir, these are all toys with no power. Even if a kid gets hit in the head with one, it doesn’t hurt… The rocket launcher rounds have soft sponge tips, so it’s perfectly safe.”
Xu Yang chuckled and said, “Boss, what I mean is, besides grenade launchers, rocket launchers, and armored tanks, do you have any armed helicopters, Dongfeng Express, hand-rolled nuclear bombs, or things like that?”
“We have helicopters, displayed up front…”
The boss brought over a camouflage-colored helicopter toy.
But there was nothing else for sale.
“What a pity.”
Xu Yang asked, “With such a large toy store, you must order directly from the manufacturer, right? If I place a large order, can I reorder some other types of weapons?”
The not-so-old boss joked and smiled, “As long as the money is in place, the manufacturer can make anything!”
“Great!”
With this sentence, Xu Yang felt relieved.
He waved his hand and said, “Pack up all the weapon toys in your store and deliver them to the funeral store on Yumin Street…”
After the boss confirmed repeatedly and received Xu Yang’s definite answer, he couldn’t help but smile.
Military weapon toys were a major feature of his store, and with the inventory, a large truckload could be filled, and even with lower prices, a lot of money could be made.
Xu Yang left his contact information, paid a 2000 dollar deposit, and took two helicopters, saying, “I’ll go back to the store first, and pay the rest of the money after you’ve calculated it and delivered the goods.”
When Xu Yang returned to the funeral store, he saw the hardware store owner next door questioning Ma Xiaotiao.
When she found out that Ma Xiaotiao was Xu Yang’s disciple, she was even more shocked, saying, “You’re really Xu Yang’s disciple? Kid, you’ve made it… This Xu Yang is incredible. I heard he’s going to be the headmaster of some martial arts academy. According to my daughter, many people online are clamoring to come to Wu City to learn immortality from Xu Yang.”
Ma Xiaotiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “Auntie, my master doesn’t practice immortality, he practices Daoism.”
“Who cares about immortality or Daoism? Anyway, you’ve made it!”
The hardware store owner didn’t care about these details. Seeing Xu Yang return, she asked, “Xu, Auntie is 46 this year, do you think I can still learn immortality at this age?”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Auntie, when our Wu City Martial Arts Academy opens, there will be a talent and aptitude test for the whole society, so you can give it a try… I’ll apply to the higher-ups, and maybe we can organize an elderly class in the academy.”
After sending away the hardware store owner next door, Xu Yang asked Ma Xiaotiao about his cultivation problems.
With his help in “leading Qi”, Ma Xiaotiao reached Qi Refining Level 1 last night. The pity is…
A night passed.
His progress seemed minimal.
Xu Yang sighed, “Ah… Back when I first entered cultivation, I practiced hard for half the night and reached Qi Refining Level 3. Little Jump, your talent and aptitude are much better than your master’s, so you have to practice hard.”
Ma Xiaotiao immediately replied, “Master, I will definitely not disappoint you.”
“Alright, alright, I’m just bragging, don’t take it seriously. When practicing Daoism, you must be down-to-earth and not dream too big… Did you have hot and spicy soup for lunch? It smells so strong.”
Ma Xiaotiao scratched the back of his head and honestly said, “The hot and spicy soup next door tastes so good, I couldn’t resist.”
“It’s not that you can’t eat it, but you can’t eat it often. You’re still young and growing… Didn’t I give you ten thousand dollars yesterday? From now on, buy whatever you want to eat.”
Xu Yang took out the two toy helicopters.
Ma Xiaotiao’s eyes lit up and he excitedly said, “Master, is this for me?”
“A gift for your ass!”
Xu Yang glared at him and said, “Go get me some paper and a pen, I want to write a letter.”
Ma Xiaotiao obediently fetched a pen and paper, and Xu Yang thought for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote, “Respected my friend, Cui Jue, meeting face to face in a letter…”
