Chapter 284 Heading East, Western Natives
The difference is too big!
Seeing skyscrapers on Douyin and seeing them in person are two completely different experiences.

This includes the monks who come and go on the road.

Lei Yin Saint Lord couldn't understand it. Did these cultivators have nothing better to do?

If you have nothing to do, just stay in your cave. What's the point of going out for a stroll?
Putting aside everything else, if you were to travel hundreds of miles to the west, it would be normal not to see a single living person.

The lively scene made Lei Yin Shengzhu feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

As we got closer to the bustling area, the number of flying swords on the road decreased significantly, replaced by flying cars soaring through the air one after another.

‘Stab it! ’

With a sudden stop, Wangyou jerked the steering wheel, barely dodging a Civic that was overtaking him. The sudden stop caused Leiyin Shengzhu's cola to spill out of his pants.

"I***!"

After hearing the exclamation of "national essence," Wangyou immediately stepped on the gas and caught up, simultaneously rolling down the window and sticking her head out:

"You little punk, what the hell are you doing? Rushing to burn paper money for your mom? Are you trying to drift around the funeral hall and spray your mom's ashes like nitrogen, huh?"

The Civic driver floored the accelerator and swerved in front of the car again, sticking out a middle finger from the window:
"You dare to open your mouth after opening your turtle shell? What? My milk is miles ahead of yours!"

The Zen Master Wangyou immediately made a hand seal, suspending the flying chariot in mid-air, and leaned half his body out of the window, shouting:

"Your dad drives a hearse made from your mom's coffin lid! Look at your beat-up Civic, modified like a toy car, the brake lights are blurrier than your family tree! Do you think you're so cool?"

A Civic owner slammed his hand on the steering wheel, triggering the modified audio system and causing sparks to fly from the exhaust pipe.
"You damn old bald donkey! I'll use your dad's relics as brake pads, and if I step on them, your dad will scream and yell!"

"Hey hey hey! Forget-me-not!"

Just as Wangyou was about to retaliate again, she was stopped by Leiyin Saint Lord:

“We are monks! How could you say such a thing? This driver may be a bit reckless, but he stopped at such insults. Let's be forgiving. Amitabha.”

"cough!"

Zen Master Wangyou coughed lightly, realizing he had momentarily forgotten the Holy Lord was beside him and had lost his composure somewhat.

"I don't know why, but my mouth gets itchy whenever I touch the steering wheel. I don't usually feel this way."

Seeing that Wangyou was no longer responding, the Civic driver was amused and kept stepping on the brakes to block his way, sticking his head out again:

"Heh, Old Bi Deng, why aren't you cursing anymore? You've given up now, haven't you? My taillights are the guiding lights for your whole family to reincarnate! I just glanced at that bald guy in your passenger seat and he looks just like your great-grandfather's portrait! He's really disgusting."

Holy Lord of Thunder Sound: ???
Before Zen Master Wangyou could react, the Holy Lord of Thunder Sound stuck his head out:

"Did you eat shit and not rinse your mouth? Look at your face in the rearview mirror, even the King of Hell would want to issue you a death certificate and cancel your household registration! Dude, are you the product of incest?"

"What the hell-"

The Civic owner was about to retort when a Buddhist lion's roar made his eardrums ache.

"Classic! Absolutely classic!"

The Thunderclap Saint Master suddenly switched to the thirty-two-layer reverberation voice typical of Buddhist sermons:
"No way, really? Someone doesn't actually think that modifying a Civic makes it a supercar, does they? Is the modification cost even enough to cover the wedding gift your mother received when she remarried?"

"Forget-Me-Not, step on the gas! Overtake him from the side! I'll spray him to death!"

"Um, Holy Lord, that's not the driving lane; turning there will result in points being deducted."

Great!

Wangyou wiped away her cold sweat and secretly marveled:

That's why people say someone can become a saint.

He actually combined the Buddhist lion's roar with the art of conversion, which shocked the Civic driver so much that he bowed his head in submission and pulled over.

"arrive."

With a beautiful dragon-like drift, Wangyou flung the car into a parking space outside a relatively bustling city gate in the Canglan Domain.

"We're here now?"

Lei Yin Saint Lord looked suspiciously at the nearby overgrown weeds and wild trees.

"This isn't right, is it? We haven't even entered the city yet!"

"Further in is the restricted area for out-of-town license plates. Unless you get an entry permit for Cangzhou, you will be penalized with points and fines if you go in."

"Then why don't you go and get one?"

"That's too much trouble, and the certificate you get isn't permanent. Ugh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

resignedly.

Lei Yin Shengzhu had no choice but to get off the comfortable flying chariot. Just as he was about to sit on his lotus platform, he was stopped by Wang You.

"Holy Lord, not only are flying vehicles allowed ahead, but flying swords and your lotus platform are also restricted from traveling."

'Shuh! '

Just as the two of them joined the queue, a speeding car swaggered over their heads.

"Hey!"

The Holy Lord of Thunder Sound was displeased:

"How could this kid drive a speeding car into the city? And he wasn't even driving on the designated lanes in the air! Did he buy his driver's license?!"

His words drew sidelong glances from the other cultivators who were preparing to enter the city.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from?"

"Anyway, they're not locals; they're obviously country bumpkins from out of town."

"Stop babbling. Someone's license plate is worth your life. Instead of being jealous, go to Fire Refining Valley and screw in a couple more screws."

Zen Master Wangyou blushed:

"Oh, Holy Lord, can you please stop making such a fuss? It's embarrassing. Didn't you see the license plate? Cang Sheng 88888, the license plate of the Great Dream Holy Land. Moreover, this kind of license plate clearly indicates a very high status. Who would dare to deduct points from her license?"

"Is this license plate impressive?"

"Of course, I'm not kidding, her license plate is more expensive than my car."

I'm a good boy.
Lei Yin Shengzhu clicked his tongue in amazement, while also finding this kind of thing quite interesting.

I have repeatedly exuded the aura of a peak Mahayana practitioner, but no one cares.

As the Great Sage Lord who rules the Western Paradise, he was treated like a transparent person, with no one paying any attention to him. This kind of cold treatment was something he had never experienced before in his life.

This place seems to be exactly as Sanzang and the others described.

All races are equal.

While queuing, he saw some people from both the righteous and the demonic paths laughing and joking, calling each other "bro."

They also saw the little rabbit demon, whose form was not yet fully formed, standing there timidly, and no one dared to cut in line for her, including some alien races like the trolls. Everyone was the same.

Moreover, everyone spoke very politely after getting off the flying car.

As for fighting?

Anyway, we didn't see the Thunder Sound Saint Lord along the way.

Even if people were hurling insults at each other on the racetrack, no one would choose to take action.

Entering the city.

The prosperity inside the city is different from that outside.

Despite the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and the enticing aromas of various delicacies wafting through the air.

But it wasn't chaotic; everything was so orderly.

A closer look reveals that the locations of these stalls do not obstruct the path for cultivators to walk on, and each vendor conducts business within the grid marked on the ground.

Moreover, the entire street was not only tidy, but there wasn't even a speck of trash in sight.

Lei Yin Shengzhu discovered it.

After the monks finished eating, they would throw the packaging into the boxes on both sides of the street.

The boxes are in three colors: green, yellow, and red, and are placed side by side.

Each color indicates the type of waste it contains.

For example, green represents recyclable waste, yellow represents kitchen waste, and red represents hazardous waste.

There were so many of these boxes that one was placed almost every few steps. Even many small vendors had their own boxes at their stalls.

Moreover, the vendors come from all ethnic groups.

Even cultivators at the Mahayana stage have to queue up obediently when they want to buy things.

The arrogant and domineering behavior that was common in the Spirit Continent is completely absent here.

The word "civilization" may not be used here, but the spirit of civilization is evident everywhere.

In comparison, the Western homeland paled in comparison.

"so good."

"This is nothing!"

Forget-Me-Not returned from queuing and handed the Holy Lord an ice cream.

"Want to try it? You definitely can't get this kind of thing where you are; it's not sold in those shared bikes."

"Oh?"

Looking at the tip of the ice cream radiating a cool sensation on his fingers, Shendu took a small sip:
"Hiss, what is this? It's sweet and icy, and it even smells milky?"

"ice cream."

"They don't sell them on the shared bikes?"

"Putting them on Ofo bikes will cause them to melt, and these private businesses are just selling from stalls, not big companies. They don't want to start Ofo bikes. There are plenty of things you can't buy in the west."

Lei Yin Saint Lord sighed and licked it again.

Private entrepreneurship?

Such a niche term.

He understood the meaning, but before this, no one would have associated those four words together.

At most, monks would only sell things they no longer needed on the black market.

These vendors have clearly formed a system.

It's similar to the previous "Nine Major Shops".

"By the way, isn't Wan San's shop supposed to be powerful? Why doesn't he use low prices to seize the market from these vendors? With his financial and material resources, he could easily swallow up these small private workshops."

The words of the Thunder Sound Saint Lord drew frequent glances from the surrounding cultivators.

Many people have already frowned.

Who is it?
How can someone be so wicked?
Bottom man!
"Forehead."

The Zen Master Wangyou touched his nose:
"My Lord, I don't blame you for saying other things because you're inexperienced, but could you please stop judging the Wan San Group's magnanimity with your rigid and narrow-minded thinking?"

"The reason these vendors can set up stalls and make money is because it was an idea provided by the Wan San Group."

"Not only did they provide ideas, but they also proposed the corporate mission of 'prosperity for all races and trade across the world,' further stimulating the innovation and entrepreneurship of cultivators."

"real or fake?"

Is Wan San Group really that good?
Is it really about burning oneself to light up others?

Compared to them, the Wan San Group is the real Buddha.

Shaking his head, Wangyou felt that no amount of talking would be as effective as showing him the document bearing the Wan San Group's official seal.

"Here!"

After finding the relevant documents, Wangyou handed her phone to Leiyin Shengzhu.

[Announcement from Wansan Group Regarding Support for Individual Entrepreneurship and Standardization of City-Level Operations]

(Wan San Group issued on September 28, 2025)
To uphold the corporate mission of "prosperity for all races and trade across the world," further stimulate the innovation and entrepreneurship of cultivators, and optimize the business environment of core cities such as the Heavenly Demon Domain and the Azure Lan Domain, the Group's Board of Directors has resolved to formulate the following plan for promoting the standardized and convenient development of individual street vending entrepreneurship:

I. Purpose and Objectives.

Adhering to the concept of "small stalls driving big changes in people's lives".

With technology as the core and management efficiency as the key.

To create an individual economic ecosystem characterized by "low-cost entrepreneurship, high-convenience operation, and full-cycle protection," and to achieve an organic unity between urban cleanliness and urban prosperity.

II. Key Measures

Standardized supply of facilities:
The "five unifications" standard for stalls will be implemented throughout the region (unified numbering, unified shelves, unified signage, unified waste sorting containers, and unified delivery system).

Wan San Group provides adjustable sunshade and rain protection awnings free of charge.

The Shenzhen Sect has jointly optimized facilities such as "portable preservation array trays" and "automatic dust removal array patterns" to reduce operating costs for fresh food and catering stall owners.

The approval process is extremely simplified:

The "Wanshangtong" online registration channel has been opened.

Cultivators can apply for electronic stall permits by scanning a QR code with their divine sense and view a map of vacant stalls and a heat map of pedestrian traffic in real time.

For first-time entrepreneurs, a "zero rent for the first month" policy is implemented, and a basic business tool kit (including a custom-made weighing scale, cleaning talisman, etc.) is provided free of charge.

Entrepreneurship empowerment support:

The "Wan San Maker Academy" was established.

We hired marketing masters from Da Meng Sheng Di and intangible cultural heritage inheritors from Tian Yao Yu to teach courses such as "Creating Bestselling Products for Street Vendors" and "Short Video Traffic Generation Techniques," which were simultaneously broadcast live on the Douyin platform.

The "Street Vendor Loan" financial product has been launched, offering unsecured loans of up to 80 Spirit Stones, with interest subsidies available for high-quality projects.

Urban Appearance Co-governance Mechanism:

A "red, yellow, and green" credit rating system is implemented, granting "gold stalls" and traffic support to stall owners who comply with operating standards and actively participate in garbage sorting, while violators are included in the "Lingyu Credit Blacklist".

The United Canglanyu Urban Management Law Enforcement Team launched the "Civilization Supervision Flying Car".

We provide legal consultation and dispute mediation services, and severely punish malicious bidding and street vending.

III. Guarantee Mechanism.

The group will coordinate the establishment of a special working group for 13,000 shops across various regions and hold regular "Fireworks Economy Joint Meetings".

We actively listened to the opinions of stall owner representatives and allocated an additional 5 million spirit stones as an entrepreneurship support fund for emergency subsidies in case of unforeseen circumstances.

We urge all cultivators to actively respond and join hands to build a model of a distinctive market in the cultivation world that balances order and vitality!
Wansan Group Board of Directors

September 2023 (Ling Calendar)

(Note: The final interpretation of this announcement rests with Wan San Group.)
Holy Lord Leiyin:
His comprehension skills weren't great. While the local sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Domain could grasp the profound meaning after just a few glances, he stared at the phone for half an hour before reluctantly handing it back to Zen Master Wangyou.

like
The Wan San Group's words are all from the perspective of the general public, right?
Aside from a small stall fee, he really couldn't see where Wan San Group could make a profit.

Take a step back.

They maintain public order and provide various forms of support, only charging a small stall fee. They are incredibly kind and generous.

Furthermore,

They're not forcing you to set up a stall and start a business.

Since you've chosen to pay the stall fee, it means you have the ability to earn back your investment and profits by setting up a stall.

Compared to Wan San Group.

Their claims of universal salvation in the west seem like a joke.

"Ah, no wonder the lower-level Buddhist monks are getting their peaches of immortality so quickly. Our kind of empty promises are really like a lump of bricks when they encounter a commercial group that is genuinely doing practical things for the common people."

"But I still don't understand. The West has indeed let down the vast majority of ordinary cultivators, but why do the Prison-Suppressing Zen Master and the others, who are the beneficiaries, also want the peaches of immortality?"

"Isn't the idea of ​​equality for all 'inequality' 'for' those in high positions?"

At this moment, the Thunder Sound Saint Lord himself is...

He felt very uncomfortable with the feeling that no one cared about him.

Place it on the west side.

On every trip he took, he was greeted by Buddhas from afar.
Such a huge difference must be making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
