103: Chapter 103 Zhang Xuan: I won't do private business... Shen Yuan: One hundred million! Zhang Xuan: On another note...
Lu Yong trembled, "Okay, Brother Shen, no problem, Brother Shen!"
Lu Yong turned and ran.
Zhang Xuan watched, stunned.
"Lay Buddhist, this humble Daoist did not agree to go out and stroll with you!" Zhang Xuan said sternly.
Shen Yuan smiled like a flower, "I, Shen Yuan, am the richest man in the Demon Capital!"
"You know, we rich people believe in feng shui the most." Shen Yuan shook his head rhythmically.
Zhang Xuan nodded foolishly, then shook his head violently, "No, who is 'we' with you!"
"I am a poor Daoist!" "I am poor!" Zhang Xuan spread his hands.
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Starting today, I am hiring you as the first feng shui master and the first house-guarding master of my Shen Group!"
Zhang Xuan: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" "Although this humble Daoist is poor, I have never cared about fame or fortune!" "I only help those fated to meet!" Zhang Xuan performed a Daoist salute, his expression indifferent.
"Fated people?" Shen Yuan had black lines on his forehead, "Daoist Priest, you must remember, you are a Daoist!" "You are not a Buddhist!" "How can you learn from the Buddhist sect?"
Shen Yuan said righteously, "So the Shaolin Temple is nothing but a place hiding filth and harboring vice!"
"Uh, that's a corporation, not a temple!" "After all, they are listed." Zhang Xuan said, "Buddhism is Buddhism, Daoism is Daoism, don't mess it up."
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen." Shen Yuan shook his head like a rattle-drum.
Zhang Xuan: (  ̄ ェ  ̄ ; ) May I ask, Lay Buddhist, are you a child?
"Daoism emphasizes a clear and transparent Daoist heart, how can you say 'fated people'?"
Shen Yuan snorted, "Since you say you help those fated, then I will give you fate!" He held up a finger, "I am hiring you!"
"Ten thousand a month?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up for a second, then he shook his head gently, "Lay Buddhist, I apologize! This humble Daoist is a cultivator, the mundane world..."
"An annual salary of one hundred million!" Shen Yuan said gently.
Zhang Xuan: ( . ; ꒪ ; : ꈊ : ; ꒪ ; . ) H-how much? One hundred million!?
"But then again..." Zhang Xuan's tone shifted, "It's not impossible!" Hehehe!
He was all smiles. Oh my god... a month! I'm rich!
Dad, look, you said I wouldn't be able to make money after coming down the mountain. I just came down the mountain and arrived in the Demon Capital... I already have an annual salary of one hundred million!
With that Longhu Mountain of yours, can you earn one hundred million even if you work your whole life? I am truly a money-making genius.
However, Dad, you calculated correctly! You said that after I came down the mountain, I would have help from a noble person. Isn't this noble person here now?
And this noble person... is unimaginably noble! It's impossible to tell his fortune at all!
"See, I told you we were fated, right?" Shen Yuan smiled. Zhang Xuan was grinning like a sunflower.
"Let's go, brother!" Shen Yuan patted Zhang Xuan's shoulder, "Xuan Zi, from now on, we are in the same boat!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in a daze. Xuan Zi? What kind of nickname is that? This humble Daoist is the next Celestial Master!
But then again... an annual salary of one hundred million...
"Young Master Shen, please rest assured. Since this humble Daoist has accepted your employment, then..." "All ghosts and monsters, this humble Daoist will naturally block them for you!"
One hundred million! This is one hundred million!
"Let's go, get in the car!" Shen Yuan pulled Zhang Xuan along, "Just call me Old Shen from now on."
"No!" Zhang Xuan shook his head, "You are the employer, you are..." "Thirteen months of salary a year!" Shen Yuan smiled slightly.
"Okay, Old Shen!" Zhang Xuan smiled like a flower.
He is the boss, whatever he says goes. For the sake of this one hundred million... let alone calling him Old Shen. Even if he asked me to eat shit... that I really can't eat.
I'm not the Yongle Emperor, I haven't been forced to that point. The two of them got into the car leisurely and drove off. Neither of them cared... that woman who still didn't have a proper name was still lying on the ground, fast asleep.
"By the way, Xuan Zi!" Shen Yuan asked curiously, "You are the little Celestial Master, why did you come down the mountain?"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Lay Buddhist Shen, oh, Old Shen..." "You also have cultivation, right?" Zhang Xuan didn't answer, but asked a question instead.
"Yeah, I just reached the Golden Core stage two days ago." Shen Yuan snapped his fingers lightly.
Zhang Xuan: What the hell!? Golden Core!? What did you say? "You reached Golden Core?" Zhang Xuan's eyes widened, "That's unreasonable!"
"What's unreasonable about it?" Shen Yuan asked. Zhang Xuan shook his head, "It's the Age of Dharma Decline now."
"I understand, I understand!" Shen Yuan nodded, "Liu Bowen cut the dragon veins and severed the spiritual energy." Zhang Xuan had black lines on his forehead, "Where did you hear that from?"
Shen Yuan looked curious, "Isn't that right?" "I see many novels saying that." Shen Yuan chuckled.
Zhang Xuan: ( ;  ̄ ꈊ  ̄ ) You said it yourself, those are novels. "Novels are novels, reality is reality." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.
Shen Yuan glanced sideways, "Aren't we in a novel?" Zhang Xuan shook his head, "How is that possible? We are in reality!"
"Oh, then continue!" Shen Yuan said with a smile. Zhang Xuan smiled, "Old Shen, you don't understand what spiritual energy is!"
"Just think of it as the universe breathing..." "Inhale and exhale, spiritual energy contracts and expands!" "We are currently in the Age of Dharma Decline where spiritual energy is exhausted!" "It's that simple." Zhang Xuan said.
Although I don't really know what's going on... but!!! That's pretty much what it means, right?
Shen Yuan's face twitched. I thought about so much, and it turned out to be this simple?
"Especially after Liu Bowen cut the dragon veins..." Zhang Xuan continued. Shen Yuan glanced sideways, "You said it had nothing to do with Liu Bowen."
Zhang Xuan coughed, "The main thing is, that dragon vein contained a lot of spiritual energy, and after being cut by Liu Bowen... the spiritual energy naturally dissipated."
"The Age of Dharma Decline really has nothing to do with Liu Bowen." "He just wasted some spiritual energy." Zhang Xuan continued, "Spiritual energy is becoming more and more exhausted, and current spiritual energy..."
"Golden Core!?" "Even if you can reach the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be a stroke of luck!" Zhang Xuan explained.
"Oh, I really reached the Golden Core stage!" Shen Yuan didn't even turn his head. Zhang Xuan: "..."
Although I can't see your strength, you shouldn't lie to me. I am very smart.
"Xuan Zi!" Shen Yuan smiled, "Do you read novels?" "I do!" Zhang Xuan nodded, "I like to read satisfying novels, but my dad... likes to read melodramatic novels!"
"Things like 'Wronged Love Burning Heart: Young Master Fu's Substitute Sinful Wife', 'After Divorce, the CEO Begs Me to Turn Back', 'After Accidentally Killing My White Moonlight, I Went Crazy'" "And..." " 'After Being Framed, My Ex-Husband Begs for Forgiveness', 'Triangular Abusive Love: I Fell in Love with My Best Friend's Brother', 'As a Substitute, I Am Fought Over by Two Big Shots'..."
Zhang Xuan reeled them off, "They are all brain-dead!" Shen Yuan: "..." It seems our values are quite normal.
"Anyway, enough about that!" Shen Yuan raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "Zhang Xuan!" "I have a System!" Shen Yuan smiled, looking like he wanted someone to lick his boots.
Zhang Xuan: "..." Oh no! The boss was talking about novels earlier, and now he's suddenly talking about a System... It's over! This boss of mine... he can no longer distinguish between reality and novels. He is a mental patient.
