Siheyuan: I Called the Police at the Beginning

Chapter 91 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop
Geng Ping'an hadn't expected the talisman shop owner to break down his defenses.

The other party actually closed the shop directly.

Ran.

The shop owner's actions put him in a difficult position.

Where will he sign in next month?
If this shop is later changed to another type of shop by someone else, can it still be considered a talisman shop and allow him to continue signing in?
Geng Ping'an dared not gamble on this.

So after a moment of stunned silence, he immediately ran to find the brokerage firm.

They were trying to buy the shop before anyone else did.

If the talisman shop is to be sold, it must be through a brokerage firm.

'fortunately.'

Returning from the brokerage, Geng Ping'an was glad he had acted quickly enough.

The shop owner had indeed already found a buyer through the brokerage firm.

Geng Ping'an spent two hundred spirit stones to buy the permanent right to reside in the shop from the brokerage firm.

Now all he needs to do is keep the shop as it is.

Even if the shop owner leaves, the shop is still there and looks the same as before, so it shouldn't affect his sign-in.

I was thinking about it with some uncertainty.

A system notification suddenly rang in Geng Ping'an's ears.

The player acquired the Talisman Shop and upgraded the building level to LV2.

The reward will be doubled next time you check in.

The system's prompt relieved Geng Ping'an's worries, and his face lit up with joy.

He can continue to sign in.

Furthermore, even if the building is not thrown here again after it is purchased, the building will still be upgraded by one level out of thin air.

If he had known about this good thing, he would have bought all the sign-in buildings when he was in the Courtyard World.

The system has hidden settings that need to be discovered.

This made Geng Ping'an realize that he had missed out on a lot of good things in the early stages of the game.

But upon closer examination, the core gameplay of Monopoly revolves around acquiring and seizing other players' construction assets.

Therefore, this situation is reasonable and something he himself did not expect.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late.

Most of the items you sign in at the Siheyuan World are mundane things; signing in for the Beiming Rebirth Technique is basically just a stroke of luck.

His losses were not significant.

It's not too late for him to become a real estate tycoon in the cultivation world.

As long as he buys up the construction properties that the system has signed in to, he can double the amount of precious treasures and powerful cultivation techniques he can obtain from the cultivation world.

I bought the small shop across the street, but I have no intention of opening a branch.

After selling out his quota of second-tier talismans for the day, Geng Ping'an, ignoring the other customers' attempts to persuade him to stay, once again stubbornly closed the door.

I returned to my own courtyard.

Boom boom boom!
This time, the peace didn't last long either.

The urgent knocking on the door kept ringing in Geng Ping'an's ears.

The person who came seemed very impolite.

It was forceful and violent, almost like banging on a door.

Geng Ping'an frowned, but still got up and went to the door.

opened the door.

Then you see several middle-aged cultivators, dressed in uniform and magnificent first-grade mid-level magic robes.

As a henchman of a certain force, he undoubtedly possesses considerable wealth.

The leader was a young cultivator who was clearly in charge.

The young man was dressed in a second-tier high-grade magic robe, and both his status and the arrogant expression on his face were quite different from the other extras.

Then, he looked at Geng Ping'an with an extremely arrogant attitude.

"You're the one selling talismans in large quantities, and not according to market prices, which has driven away the owners of talisman shops."

The man's explanation led Geng Ping'an to believe that the shop owner was dissatisfied and had sent someone to retaliate against him.

But after listening for a while, Geng Ping'an understood.

This was just an excuse the young man made up on the spot.

The alliance mentioned by the visitors.

That's his reason and confidence for coming to cause trouble this time.

The Talisman Alliance is an alliance formed by countless talisman refiners.

According to the man, this was official certification, and all the talisman refiners in the market should be under their control.

Geng Ping'an remained highly skeptical of the official statement made by the man.

His expression didn't change much.

Because it was just a hobby for him, and he wasn't short of money.

They were always thinking about selling off all the talismans they had as quickly as possible.

Therefore, he often doesn't mind selling at a 10-20% discount as long as the customer bargains politely.

His prices were clearly not in accordance with market-regulated levels.

Therefore, his existence was characterized by malicious competition by the Talisman Alliance, which seriously affected the business of other talisman refiners.

To put it bluntly, the other party came looking for trouble because he had infringed upon their interests.

Therefore, no matter how much the other party boasts, it's not excessive.

The owner of the talisman shop thought that by hiding in other places, he could avoid being affected by him.

Little did he know that his talismans had already spread throughout the entire market.

This has drawn the hostility of the Fu Alliance.

Seeing that Geng Ping'an did not show the fear and worry he expected.

The young man in the lead was very dissatisfied.

Suddenly angry.

He threatened in a cold tone.

"You look down on our Rune Alliance?"

"Don't think that you're the only one who can refine second-tier talismans."

“In our alliance, there are no fewer than ten second-tier talisman masters, and several elders even have third-tier talisman refiners as their masters.”

"Once we spread the word, you won't be able to sell a single talisman."

Ha ha.

Hearing the man's boastful words, Geng Ping'an assumed that the Talisman Alliance had no fewer than a hundred second-tier talisman refiners, and that all the elders were third-tier talisman refiners.

Even the alliance leader is an incredibly powerful fourth-tier talisman refiner.

The Talisman Alliance is indeed a terrifying force that ordinary rogue cultivators dare not provoke.

That's all the ambition he's shown.

The man had the audacity to say it so arrogantly.

Did you think you could impress him?

Where does this inexplicable self-confidence come from?

At this moment, Geng Ping'an was even more convinced that the Talisman Alliance was not an official organization.

This man's lack of vision and ignorance is appalling.

He prefers to understand it as a private group that bands together, just like the previous Innate Alliance and Hundred Arts Alliance.

However, this group has undoubtedly grown much faster and larger.

It has become an incredibly powerful, high-level force with considerable status and influence.

This led the man to believe that he was the embodiment of justice, the truth, and the undisputed official mouthpiece in the talisman community.

However, considering the opponent's strength, they are also quite formidable.

He doesn't necessarily have to go against the other party.

There's nothing shameful about saying something nice.

He had no intention of selling the talismans at a low price.

So Geng Ping'an asked, "I understand what you mean. You didn't tell me these things before."

"So, I can sell it at the normal price now, and there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Geng Ping'an wasn't afraid of men, but there was no need for him to offend a group of talisman refiners.

After all, sometimes petty people do things behind your back, which can be very troublesome.

Even if he didn't believe that everyone in the Fu Alliance would unite against him just because he sold at a low price.

however.

The young man, having come all this way, was clearly not going to give up easily.

He continued, glancing sideways at people with a cold, icy expression.

"You wish! You have already infringed upon the interests of the Rune Alliance, so you must be fined one thousand spirit stones and go to the Rune Alliance to admit your mistake. Only then can I consider accepting you into the Rune Alliance."

"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease." The young man's blatant words extinguished Geng Ping'an's thought that he could simply endure it and let it pass.

If it's just a matter of restoring the original price, he might consider it.

As it turned out, this person still came to take advantage of him, knowing that he had been making a lot of money recently, and set his sights on him.

They really think that just because they're part of the Fu Alliance, they can do whatever they want.

How dare he speak to a second-tier genius talisman refiner like that?

Looking at the young man's immature yet arrogant appearance, Geng Ping'an thought to himself.

Could this person be a spoiled rich kid who suddenly decides to make a name for himself?

Let the others in the Fu Alliance see what he's capable of.

In reality, without his father, he is nothing.

They came to him to show off their power and also wanted to extort money from him.

They also did not consider whether it would bring about the destruction of the Fu Alliance.

However, if we want the second generation to be sensible, they won't be the classic spoiled brats.

So, Geng Pingan shook his head and said.

"Who does Fu Meng think he is? You can just impose fines on us like that. Why don't you say that you planted all the trees in the world?"

"All my money is here; it's up to you whether you have the guts to take it."

"Kid, don't think you can look down on our Rune Alliance just because you have some talent. You haven't been beaten down by reality."

"With just one word from my father, you'll have to obediently admit your mistake."

"Otherwise, you'll end up like that genius from last time, who couldn't sell any talismans and had to obediently admit his mistake."

"In the end, not only was the inheritance lost, but it also became a clandestine talisman-making machine."

The young man felt he had lost face after being publicly refuted by Geng Ping'an.

His face immediately turned cold.

It is full of threats.

This also confirmed his status as a second-generation rich kid and revealed that he seemed to have no intention of letting Geng Ping'an go at all.

The previous indomitable genius has already been destroyed by the Fu Alliance.

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint appeared in Geng Ping'an's eyes.

It seems this matter can't be settled privately; the other party has chosen a righteous path to death.

Why are there so many idiotic people who want to die?

Looking at the man, Geng Ping'an said, word by word.

"So, your so-called talisman alliance, where you die if you don't cooperate, really has the capitalist system. In the end, even people are not in control, and you have to squeeze out the last bit of value."

Geng Ping'an understood perfectly well what the man was saying, which contained no conscious intention.

To put it bluntly, the Fu Alliance is an old and corrupt force that has long been deeply rooted in the past.

Either you go along with them, hand over most of your profits, and do as they demand.

They are either seen as enemies and suppressed, with everything taken away from them.

They don't give any talented rogue cultivators a chance to stand out.

If someone feels that you pose a threat to the Fu Alliance, then neither their own cultivation techniques nor their personal freedom can be guaranteed.

To become the object of exploitation by the other party.

Therefore, the world of cultivation is indeed not something to be too optimistic about.

The rogue cultivators in this market are just like leeks that are constantly being harvested.

Not to be treated like cattle until death.

They died in batches during certain disasters or tax levies.

It was once again regarded as the exclusive property of these old forces, and even the Haoyang Sect, like crops from their own land.

Because he became famous and flaunted his wealth, he attracted the attention of even more greedy and domineering forces.

They came to the door without even bothering to install anything.

If you don't cooperate, you will suffer suppression from all sides.

Even their personal safety is fatally threatened.

Fortunately, his talent triumphed over capital.

He has the strength to fear these disgusting capitalist forces.

He waved his hand dismissively.

Geng Ping'an didn't want to say anything more to the clueless second-generation rich kid in front of him.

He sneered, "Show me what you've got."

"However, I'll also say this upfront: if you know what's good for you, then it's best if you don't mess with me."

"You've messed with me. No matter how powerful you are or who your father is, be prepared for me to come knocking on your door."

"Don't wait until you realize you're about to die to start crying and begging for mercy from me."

Originally, Geng Ping'an thought that since the carriages and horses had already been arranged...

He might as well strike first and kill the young man in front of him who displeased him to add some excitement.

In the end, they'll all turn against each other anyway.

Judging from the other party's appearance, they weren't the type to give up easily.

However, considering that he has only been in this world for a short time, it is best not to go on a killing spree, lest the killings increase the number of people.

After all, the most important thing in the cultivation world is to kill the young to bring out the big ones, and then the old ones.

Finally, he shouted that he was acting on behalf of Heaven and denounced him as a ruthless and bloodthirsty demon.

Maybe the other person was just trying to scare him.

Therefore, Geng Ping'an kindly offered a reminder, which was quite unusual for him.

"You think you've got me cornered, but you only have one life. Before you die, think about yourself and don't cause trouble for your family."

"Hmph, I've encountered plenty of self-proclaimed geniuses like you, and in the end, they all begged me for mercy while crying."

"I'm giving you three days. You have three days to go to the Fu Alliance and confess your sins."

"Otherwise, your fate is self-evident."

Geng Ping'an tried to persuade the young man with kind words, but the young man clearly couldn't understand his good intentions.

He still uttered harsh words, then turned and left the courtyard where Geng Ping'an was.

The young man, accustomed to bullying others, clearly didn't take Geng Ping'an seriously at all.

Yes, but his boastful and ridiculous claims are the only thing that's true.

Pooh.

I never expected that even while honestly cultivating in the world of immortals, I would encounter such disgusting people and things.

Watching the young man swagger away.

Geng Ping'an wasn't worried about his own safety, but he was troubled by the fact that this person would definitely cause him some trouble.

Although he didn't take the Fu Alliance seriously, it was clear that they had some strength.

In this market town, one could control everything.

Otherwise, the man would have been beaten to death long ago if he had acted so arrogantly.

The man's arrival today is enough to make others afraid of offending the Alliance and stay away from him.

He himself was aware of his own abilities.

But others don't know that.

So, with the young man's threats, he had become seen as an unlucky man and a dying man.

really.

The people who frequent this market are all shrewd and well-informed.

The next day, Geng Ping'an went out of the house and sold talismans as usual.

However, he discovered that Wang Furong and others had been visiting him frequently and greeting him warmly.

I noticed he stopped talking.

Instead, they immediately avoided it like snakes and scorpions.

They undoubtedly knew the young man's reputation, and probably a bad one at that.

Because they fear the power behind him, they are now making it clear that they want to distance themselves from him, for fear of being implicated.

Geng Pingan naturally didn't care at all about this.

They're just a bunch of opportunists.

That's actually better; he doesn't want to get involved with these people.

The strong always walk alone.

Only the weak band together, and each has their own agenda.

However, the influence of the Fu Alliance was greater than he had imagined.

Today, the number of people coming to the store to buy talismans is so small that it's practically empty.

Meanwhile, a few isolated individuals who had not received the news were blatantly warned by several members of the Fu Alliance at the gate.

His expression immediately changed, and he left without hesitation.
