The Stars Beyond-Chapter 397: Fighting Master Zheng Online and Offline

Wang Xuan thought of various possibilities and felt there was great potential. Leaving aside whether he could kill Master Zheng, just going to the immortal realm to seek various opportunities was worth looking forward to. He unconsciously took another sip of the immortal tea. Misty and colorful clouds billowed and surrounded him with wonders. The mountains and rivers of the immortal realm unexpectedly appeared.

An ancient tea tree that was lush and verdant. It bore sparse fruit that was different in color. There were golden, purple, fiery red and many more. It was a riot of colors. That was the world-renowned First Tea Tree in front of Heng Jun’s Cave. Each fruit was the size of a fingertip and the tree was guarded by a celestial maiden. It was given great importance and had to be harvested at specific times.

"This tea tree is going to be mine." Wang Xuan looked at the scenery composed of tea fragrance and mist before him. He felt extraordinary. The brewed tea fruits were truly remarkable. If he entered the immortal realm, he must dig up this tree!

Not only were the customers inside the Immortal Tea House stunned, even the people passing by on the street were shocked by the wonderful fragrance, the appearance of the immortal realm and the First Ancient Tea Tree. There was no doubt that Huang Ming and Kong Yun's business had succeeded. From now on, it would be impossible for it not to be bustling.

"This tea is extraordinary, it can help people break through!" said several young people that were present. They closed their eyes and were all gaining insights.

For example, the cultivation levels that Huang Ming and Kong Yun lost during the previous tremor were both beginning to advance again. No wonder Zhou Qinghuang had come over with such persistence, and even quiet maidens like Zhou Shiqi were following suit to drink tea. It was indeed very effective.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Xuan felt a sense of tranquility in his mind, but he did not break through in the end. He realized that the tenth stage was too special, it’s already at the forefront theoretically. He wanted to reach a level comparable to the thirteenth stage in a game of Go on his path of cultivation. It was a tremendous challenge! As for Fang Yuzhu and Zhang Daoling, it was even less likely for them to break through. At their level, relying on the best Immortal Tea would not have much effect.

"Little Huang, your business is doing well. Do you have any other ideas?" The Patriarch of Hades Blood spoke with a smile. He had some ideas himself and wanted to develop in the mortal realm to provide some livelihood for his disciples.

"Patriarch, thank you for the compliment. I indeed have some ideas. If you're interested, you can join us and provide us with more guidance." said Huang Ming. He was extremely enthusiastic and wanted to latch onto a powerful backer.

Because there were quite a few immortals returning, and the competition was fierce with a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Some even lost their lives because of it.

"Tell me about it." said the Patriarch of Hades Blood. He had intended to open a livestock company and wanted to gain some insights from Huang Ming.

Huang Ming said, "It's still related to passing time and health. I was planning to open another coffee shop next to the Immortal Tea House. After all, everyone has different tastes. In this way, it will create a positive interaction."

When the Patriarch of Hades Blood heard this, he suddenly lost interest.

Beverages again?

He didn't think it was very innovative.

Could it be more appealing than the gimmicks of the tea house?

Others had the same thought. Huang Ming's various efforts had ensured the tea house's business was unbeatable. Introducing a competing product seemed meaningless.

With confidence, Huang Ming said, "Everyone, my coffee shop will take a different approach. I guarantee it will be explosively popular. Those who like it will love it, and those who dislike it will criticize it harshly. But it can be used to draw attention and highlight the Immortal Tea House's freshness, elegance, and refinement."

Wang Xuan, Fang Yuzhu, and Old Zhang were all intrigued and asked about his methods.

Seeing everyone's attention, Huang Ming became spirited and passionate and said, "In this era, what's the most valuable? Innovation, leading the way, being different."

"In plain language, please!" said the Patriarch of Hades Blood. He really wanted to be a legitimate businessman now, so he was the most impatient.

Kong Yun pulled Huang Ming aside, urging him to be more cautious.

"The name of our coffee shop is Immortal Envoy Coffee. Just with this name, it's worth its weight in gold and destined to be popular." said Huang Ming with yellow eyes gleaming.

The Patriarch of Hades Blood was puzzled and quite disappointed. There wasn't anything special about it.

Was he imitating the name of the Immortal Tea House?

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly didn't feel like drinking tea anymore as he thought of a certain possibility.

This Master Huang was really good at stirring things up and his ideas were really daring!

Fang Yuzhu, who had recently transformed into a university student to read all the books of this era, also showed a strange expression. She had thought of something too, and gave Huang Ming a glare.

"Is that it? My name would be more useful," Zhang Daoling spoke up.

Huang Ming chuckled awkwardly and even made a grand gesture. He said with an apologetic tone, "I dare not disrespect your name."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan suddenly had an idea.

Huang Ming looked at the several maidens present and invited them to join in. He told them they could just endorse the cafe a bit and they'd receive shares in return.

Zhou Shiqi, Chen Yan, and Zhou Qinghuang were all very surprised, asking him what trick he was playing.

"The best-selling coffee in the Old World and New World at the moment is Cat's Brew Coffee and Fox's Brew Coffee. Our brand emphasizes the elegance of the immortal realm......"

Before Huang Ming could finish, Chen Yan's celestial sword flew out with a clang. Though Zhou Shiqi had a good temper, her expression had changed now. She exuded a murderous aura.

Zhou Qinghuang tossed away her glasses. Her scholarly demeanor vanished and was replaced by a phoenix shadow that appeared behind her. The radiance was dazzling, and she even hoisted an energy cannon on her shoulder. She was ready to blast Huang Ming.

"What's going on?" asked the Patriarch of Hades Blood.

Kong Yun reluctantly helped in explaining, saying, "In the coffee world, many people believe that the undigested coffee beans left behind by some animals that enjoy coffee fruit are hard, full-bodied, and of excellent quality. By collecting them, they have created brands like that......"

"What! You could have just said it's Civet Poop Coffee, couldn't you?" The Patriarch of Hades Blood put down his tea cup. This kind of heavy introduction was a bit too much for him to bear.

Old Zhang didn't say a word. He just grabbed Huang Ming and started hitting him. He couldn't believe Huang Ming had dared to compare his own brand with Immortal Envoy Coffee. It was despicable.

No matter how much Huang Ming struggled, he couldn't escape the beating. He howled in pain and tears streamed down his face. He felt wronged.

How did I offend someone just by suggesting a good idea?

"Who could stand this?" sighed the Patriarch of Hades Blood.

"Why can't you stand it? If I'm not chosen as an example for endorsements, then so be it. Zhou Shiqi is a celestial maiden that’s pure and refined. She’s incomparable to those musky cats. She’s a million times more noble than those cats. And Zhou Qinghuang, from the Demon Clan is also renowned. They are immortals, and are far superior to those cats......" Before Huang Ming could finish, he was beaten up by the two women! The two women didn't even bother to bow to Zhang Daoling. They just snatched Huang Ming away from Old Zhang's hands. They didn't care about elegance anymore and were ready to tear him apart alive.

"Alright, sisters, I was wrong. I won't ask you to invest anymore. Instead, we can give it a new meaning. A love story between the Demon Clan and the Immortal Clan. We can focus on romance...... Ahhh!" said Huang Ming, and he was beaten again before he could finish.

Kong Yun watched his companions being beaten and dared not make a sound. He feared he would become the target of their anger.

Fortunately, the place was soundproofed with magic spells. Otherwise, the screams here would surely scare away all the customers.

"Patriarch of Hades Blood, we talked about this last time. I know you want to start a livestock company, and I have some ideas. By then, we can showcase high-end products, claiming they are rare beasts imported from the immortal realm. We can also offer them at affordable prices and ensure a closed-loop process of the industry. From meat to deep processing, even to valuable fur business, and also gelatin for blood nourishment and beauty......" pleaded Huang Ming.

Eventually, the guests and hosts bid farewell and left. Zhou Shiqi vowed never to endorse any business of Huang Ming and Kong Yun again as she was afraid of being deceived. The Patriarch of Hades Blood stayed behind as he was quite interested. Wang Xuan left. He needed to prepare for the major event of entering the immortal realm! These days, he had done his homework thoroughly and learned about Heng Jun's character through Fang Yuzhu and Zhang Daoling. He also studied Zheng Yuantian's habits.

"It would be perfect if the real body of Zheng Yuantian came out. His realm has dropped severely. Smashing him directly would be the safest. But every time he comes out, it's just his avatar," sighed Wang Xuan. He calmed down and thought that the idea of entering the immortal realm was excellent, but killing Zheng Yuantian would be difficult.

"It would be best to lure out the real Zheng Yuantian and kill him," said Wang Xuan.

Of course, he longed for the immortal realm and still intended to go there. As long as Heng Jun was not at home, Wang Xuan dared to go and dig up the tree. Recently, treasures had been appearing from time to time, and experts from all walks of life risked their lives in the battles. If Zheng Yuantian was severely injured during a fight, Wang Xuan would definitely take the opportunity to kill him!

He possessed the supreme technique sealed by the four top experts. His chances were high if he activated the lid of the Life Essence Furnace again.

A few days later, he prepared to go to the desolate mountains eight hundred miles away from An City to check out the current situation of the Celestial Sword Maiden.

"Wang Xuan, I've clashed with some of Master Zheng's people and had helped you wipe out part of their forces!" Huang Ming's call came suddenly, boasting on the other end.

Now everyone knew that Wang Xuan and Zheng Yuantian were at odds. It was causing quite a stir. Wang Xuan was taken aback. Did the cunning Huang Ming dare to challenge Zheng Yuantian's camp? That was a bit far-fetched.

"It's like this, Zheng Yuantian's disciples have opened a chain of Angel Coffee shops in the New World, and they have a big presence there. Recently, they came to the Old World again and set up a flagship store just opposite of our tea house. The competition is obvious. With the support of the Patriarch of Hades Blood, I engaged them in a decisive business battle and wiped out part of their capital," Huang Ming boasted, looking heroic. He decisively fought back when others bullied him.

"I've given them a free business plan for the Angel Coffee shop that I mentioned last time. The response has been extremely enthusiastic. Apart from a small number of people who like it, many people have gone to smash their shops......"

Wang Xuan was speechless. Long after he hung up the phone, he was lost in thought. This was a combined effort online and offline to attack Master Zheng. He was also going to take action. Huang Ming unexpectedly made a move against them Obviously with the Patriarch of Hades Blood backing him, Huang Ming had the confidence to counterattack.

The desolate mountains were quiet. In the morning light, the grass and leaves were covered with dew that was shining brightly. Wang Xuan arrived and was searching for the Celestial Sword Maiden.

"Is she smaller now?" Wang Xuan used his spiritual eye and found the mini version of the Celestial Sword Maiden who was soundly asleep. She appeared to be slightly smaller than before.

Her long eyelashes trembled lightly as she sensed something. Upon being observed, she woke up immediately.

Swoosh!

A sword qi flew out, and Wang Xuan quickly dodged it.

"It's me!" he spoke up, sitting on the ground and looking at the exquisite little thing underground. She was now beautiful and lovely. She was full of immortal aura, but just a bit small in size.

"Don't look at me. I'm really unhappy!" she grumbled. After laboring for two months, she was suddenly reduced to her former size.

"It's okay. You're so cute like this. Your immortal beauty will last forever, leaving no trace of time. You're regressing in age. You’ll make many people envy and hate you," Wang Xuan comforted.

The Celestial Sword Maiden's hair was very long and loose now. It was similar to her pure and beautiful appearance when she was bigger. But she still had a bit of baby fat, chubby cheeks that made people want to pinch them.

Now she was pouting and staring with her big eyes, saying, "I must have been shaken down by you. I noticed it last time. Nothing happens when you're around, but when you shake, it's really...... but the substance emitted by your body is very useful to me. How will you compensate me?"

"What do you want me to do?" Wang Xuan chuckled.

"I just want to grow up faster. What's wrong with you? Why do you always shake?" said The Celestial Sword Maiden with her bright eyes. She stared at him intently and was studying him.

"It's not me shaking. Don't accuse me wrongly. It's the sky shaking, it's the treasures resonating." Wang Xuan denied, changing the subject, "By the way, I have a way to make you grow up faster. How about this? This time, I plan to bring out the grown-up you from the great veil. What do you think? Shall we team up this time, two great Celestial Sword Immortals venturing into the immortal realm together?"
