Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1761 - 1759: Breaking the Deadlock at Three Realms Island

Inside Three Worlds Island, Luan Xiao'e looked towards Lu Ye, her expression enquiring, Lu Ye spoke, "Since we have guests, let's entertain them."

Luan Xiao'e showed a slight hesitation, "There's no problem with entertaining, but if they want to discuss moving into Three Worlds Island..."

She wasn't skilled in that, nor did she understand the intricacies involved.

"First, let them in, entertain them well, Old Tang will return soon, let him handle it when he does."

Luan Xiao'e nodded, "You're right, I'll go then." She turned to Chu Shen, "Junior brother, settle in for now. If you need anything in the future, just send me a message."

During this time, Luan Xiao'e and Chu Shen had started calling each other senior sister and junior brother, mainly due to Lu Ye's influence. Chu Shen called Lu Ye big brother, so naturally, he couldn't call Luan Xiao'e a senior anymore.

Chu Shen nodded, "Senior sister go ahead with your tasks, I'll stroll around with big brother."

Luan Xiao'e walked away, and Lu Ye continued to lead Chu Shen and the others forward. Before long, Chu Shen had chosen a location. This area had vacant residences, just right for the cultivators of Cheling World to use.

The main task for the 20 Constellations coming over this time was cultivation, even Chu Shen wouldn't get involved with any affairs of Three Worlds Island.

The cultivation environment within the residence area was excellent, combined with spirit jade, the speed of cultivation for the Constellations would be far faster than in Cheling World.

Moreover, there weren't many cultivators on the Cheling World side, otherwise, there wouldn't just be twenty people coming over this time.

With Lu Ye assisting Chu Shen to settle in, on the other side, Luan Xiao'e ordered to activate the big island-protecting array, allowing all visiting cultivators to pass through.

When Tang Jun hurried back from All Phenomena Island, he was surprised to find the atmosphere on Three Worlds Island had changed quite a bit.

After meeting with He Baichuan, who was stationed at the gap in the big array to receive guests, Tang Jun finally understood the situation!

He was delighted, young people truly think flexibly! He had been focusing solely on visiting the Sun Blaze governor of All Phenomena Ocean these days, yet hadn't even had the chance to see one Sun Blaze in person, and instead received quite a few cold shoulders.

Who would have known that Lu Ye chose an unexpected path, completely overlooking those Sun Blaze governors and instead set his sights on Cheling World?

This resulted in getting things done!

Old Tang instinctively felt there must be Chu Shen's contribution in this. Tang Jun knew how much Chu Shen admired Lu Ye. With Lu Ye personally going to Cheling World, how could Chu Shen refuse this favor?

Regardless, the situation on Three Worlds Island has completely opened up now! Tang Jun's worries and anxieties were swept away...

Learning that those merchants interested in moving into Three Worlds Island were arranged in the visitors hall, waiting for him to handle things, Tang Jun couldn't help but sigh, "Born to toil, how could Three Worlds Island run without me?"

Despite the complaint, he moved like the wind, quickly heading to the visitors hall!

Upon entering the hall, he immediately saw a dense crowd, no less than a hundred people gathered in the hall!

"Elder Tang!" someone immediately rose and clasped fists.

Soon, all the cultivators in the hall stood up to salute.

Tang Jun glanced around and couldn't help but smile, "Oh, so many familiar faces!"

In an instant, Tang Jun realized what was happening.

Nearly seventy percent of the people here had interacted with him before! At that time, he was an elder of Unparalleled Island...

Chu Shen only grasped the big picture and didn't involve in the specifics. Naturally, the operation of Unparalleled Island was under his charge, and he had interacted with many merchants.

If the prosperity of Unparalleled Island had continued, he wouldn't see these people now.

Yet with the decline of Unparalleled Island, those merchants naturally withdrew from it. In a short period, with no suitable target, the sudden appearance of Three Worlds Island attracted them all at once.

Understanding this, Tang Jun suddenly felt a sense of revenge being fulfilled!

The loss of Unparalleled Island angered not only Chu Shen but also Tang Jun. He spent considerable effort and energy on Unparalleled Island. He even had the resolve to die defending it back then.

But one can't fight against the odds. The Unparalleled Island was lost, he sustained heavy injuries and was taken by Chu Shen to Cheling World to recover, until the return of Lu Ye.

Times have changed, Three Worlds Island rose, and Unparalleled Island declined. The merchants who were taken away then, now appeared in front of him once again.

He really wanted to see the expressions of those from Celestial Flames World, but thinking about it, going there would surely result in a beating, so better not.

Moreover, his current official title is the elder responsible for external affairs of Three Worlds Island. He is not on the registration list, does not participate in Spirit Island's offensive and defensive battles, only manages some external affairs of Spirit Island.

"Everyone sit down!" Tang Jun took his main seat, then extended his hand to indicate.

The crowd took their seats.

Tang Xiaoyue walked in from outside the hall, personally serving tea to her family patriarch, then stood quietly to the side, her face full of pride.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Jun leisurely took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and slowly spoke, "I already know the purpose of your visits. The plans for Three Worlds Island you have seen by now. We initially aimed to develop Three Worlds Island into a commercial Spirit Island. Something happened before, as everyone understands, so I won't elaborate. But from now on, Three Worlds Island will have a vast future. Although its current foundation may not be as strong as the former Unparalleled Island, in terms of scale, Unparalleled Island cannot compare to our Three Worlds Island. So rest assured, by setting up shop on this island, no matter what you sell, you won't worry about a lack of customers. This, I can guarantee. If you can't make money doing business on Three Worlds Island, come and scold me, and I will not refute!"

Some people chuckled softly, while others frowned. The more Old Tang spoke of the bright future of Three Worlds Island, the higher the costs seemed for setting up there.

"Let me ask, who was the first to arrive?" Tang Jun looked around.

All eyes shifted, gathering on an old man.

With so many cultivators watching, the old man seemed a bit uneasy. He stood up and said, "Elder Tang, it was me!"

Tang Jun glanced at him and smiled, "Loo Wang of Shayuan, right? I remember you."

Loo Wang was a bit surprised and somewhat flattered, "It's an honor for Elder Tang to remember me. I am overwhelmed." He had not expected Tang Jun to remember him. Although he did meet him once on Unparalleled Island, it was only that one time.

"In the future, Three Worlds Island will need merchants with integrity. You did well on Unparalleled Island back then. Additionally, I have good news for you."

"Please, do tell, Elder," Loo Wang remained reserved.

"After the Baiyue battle, Moon Jade governors of our Three Worlds Island decided to offer rental discounts to the first business to set up here. So congratulations, Fellow Daoist Loo, you may choose any shop at will on Three Worlds Island, and the influence backing you will enjoy a fifty-percent discount on rent for twenty years."

Loo Wang was dumbfounded, as were the other cultivators in the hall.

After a long moment, Loo Wang came to his senses, still unbelieving, "Is Elder Tang serious?"

Tang Jun looked at him with a smile, "With so many Fellow Daoists present, I represent Three Worlds Island. Why would I joke with you?"

"Any shop? Even the best-located, largest ones?" Loo Wang asked.

"Yes!" Tang Jun nodded, "If you choose the best-located, largest ones, I suggest being next to the Five Colors Merchants Guild. That area is sure to be bustling."

The site chosen by the Five Colors Merchants Guild is in the very center of the commercial district. This area's prosperity will surely radiate outwards from the guild. In essence, any capable merchant will try to be as close as possible to the Five Colors Merchants Guild when choosing shop locations.

"This…" Loo Wang didn't know what to say.

He didn't have grand expectations, merely wishing for a suitable shop on Three Worlds Island. Selling goods was secondary to having the right to stay on the island long-term, facilitating his two apprentices' cultivation.

Who knew such a great opportunity would fall into his lap, and Tang Jun even offered helpful advice...

More importantly, the twenty-year, fifty-percent rental discount effectively saved them a significant amount of spirit jade, essentially a generous gift from Three Worlds Island!

Loo Wang was overwhelmed by the surprise, while the other cultivators felt regret.

If they had known about such decisions regarding Three Worlds Island, they would have strived to be the first to arrive. As it stood, arriving just a step behind Loo Wang cost them the top position.

For a moment, many looked at Loo Wang with envy.

Tang Jun spoke again, "Who is the second one?"

Having learned from the previous example, Sky Eagle Hwo Chong immediately stood up, with a nervous yet pleasing smile on his face, "It's me, Elder Tang!"

Old Tang glanced at him, "Hmm, the influence you represent has the right to choose the second shop and enjoys a seventy-percent discount on rent for ten years!"

Hwo Chong was overjoyed, his mouth nearly splitting to his ears, "Thank you, Elder Tang, thank you Moon Jade governors of Three Worlds Island. Sky Eagle will operate sincerely and ethically, ensuring no disgrace or trouble befalls Three Worlds Island!"

With a heartfelt declaration, Old Tang was very satisfied, then asked, "Who is the third?"

Su Yuhan of Golden Wheel was waiting for this moment, leaping to his feet, announcing himself, suppressing his inner joy, "Greetings, Elder Tang!"

Old Tang said, "Your influence has the right to choose the third shop, enjoying a ten-percent discount for five years!"

"Yes!" Su Yuhan rejoiced. Although the discount was significantly less compared to Loo Wang, there was still a discount. Moreover, he understood that Loo Wang's backing wasn't very strong. Even with the right to choose first, his options were limited. The area near the Five Colors Merchants Guild would be out of his reach.

Although Sky Eagle Hwo Chong's backing was stronger than Loo Wang's, it was only slightly better.

Thus, even as the third choice, he would likely still pick a prime location. Indeed, when opportunities arise, one must act quickly, or risk falling behind.

In the hall, with just a few words from Old Tang, the atmosphere became lively.
