I run a casino in the immortal realm.

Outside the south gate of Liuhua County.

Zheng Yifei, dressed in casual clothes, stood with Wang Bo by the city gate.

Merchants and cultivators came and went in an endless stream, and the soldiers guarding the city were strictly checking the identity tokens of those entering the city.

Before long, ten figures appeared at the end of the official road. Although they were covered in dust, each of them exuded considerable spiritual energy. In particular, Ouyang Tian and Murong Hao, who were walking in front, had an astonishing aura and were clearly not to be trifled with.

"They're here."

Zheng Yifei went to greet him.

"Take off!"

When Ouyang Tian saw Zheng Yifei, he quickly walked up to him and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Zheng Yifei looked at everyone and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Zheng, now that everyone's here, let's get down to business."

When the gatekeeper saw that it was the county magistrate's registrar and that he had the magistrate's order, he dared not stop him and immediately bowed and scraped as he was allowed to pass.

Under Wang Bo's personal management, the household registration office was very efficient.

In less than half an hour, ten brand-new identity jade tokens were completed and handed over to Ouyang Tian and the others.

Looking at the warm jade plaque in their hands, engraved with their names and the mark of Liuhua County, everyone felt a sense of relief.

From this moment on, they were no longer undocumented immigrants, but legal residents of the Tianlong Dynasty.

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Wang."

Zheng Yifei then slipped Wang Bo a money bag containing a thousand gold coins.

Wang Bo smiled and declined at first, but eventually accepted it.

Zheng Yifei led the group through the bustling streets back to his rented courtyard house.

As you push open the courtyard gate, a rich aroma of food wafts out.

Su Wanqing, dressed in an elegant long dress, was carrying a steaming plate of spiritual vegetables out of the kitchen. Seeing the ten people who had suddenly appeared in the courtyard, she was initially taken aback, but then a gentle smile bloomed on her face: "Everyone, come in quickly, the food is ready and we've been waiting for you."

On the large stone table in the center of the courtyard, a sumptuous feast was laid out, including spirit fish, a specialty of Liuhua County, roasted meat from second-tier demon beasts, and various soups made with spirit herbs. Several jars of fine spirit wine were also placed nearby.

Having spent too long in the mountains, everyone's stomachs rumbled at the sight of the delicious food on the table.

"Stop standing there, everyone! Sit down and eat! Let's drink until we drop to celebrate officially establishing ourselves in Dong Shenzhou!"

Zheng Yifei invited everyone to sit down.

Everyone sat around the stone table, and Su Wanqing and Xu Muyao were in charge of pouring wine for everyone.

Ouyang Tian picked up his wine bowl, stood up, looked at Zheng Yifei, his eyes slightly red: "Yifei, this cup of wine is for you. When I came to this Eastern Divine Continent, I thought I would be an unregistered resident for the rest of my life. I never expected that you would single-handedly carve out a place for us in Liuhua County. I can't express my gratitude in words, it's all in this cup!"

After saying that, Ouyang Tian tilted his head back and drank the spirit wine in the bowl in one gulp.

"Respect to Yifei!"

The others also stood up and drank it all in one gulp.

Zheng Yifei raised his wine bowl in return, then smiled and gestured for them to sit down, saying, "We're all brothers who've been through thick and thin together, so there's no need for such formalities. Sit down and eat."

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.

Zhao Ling picked up a piece of spirit fish meat and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up: "The ingredients here contain so much spiritual energy. I sensed it when I entered the city just now. The concentration of spiritual energy in Liuhua County is several times higher than the best spiritual veins in our Southern Wilderness. If we refine pills here, the success rate will definitely increase by 20%."

Murong Hao also took a swig of wine and said casually, "That's right! I just saw a few blacksmith shops on the street. The ordinary ores they displayed outside would be considered rare items in our area."

"If I opened a weapon-refining workshop here, I guarantee I could forge top-grade magical artifacts."

Everyone chimed in, expressing their hopes for the future.

The meal lasted for more than an hour, until the moon rose above the treetops, at which point everyone put down their chopsticks.

Su Wanqing led Xu Muyao to clear the dishes, while Zheng Yifei asked everyone to move to the main hall.

Bright oil lamps were lit in the main hall. Zheng Yifei sat in the main seat, his previous affable demeanor replaced by a serious expression.

"Gentlemen, although we have obtained our identities, we have only just taken our first step in Liuhua County."

Zheng Yifei's gaze swept across everyone's faces: "The magistrate waived our 1 billion yuan fee not because he was kind-hearted, but because I promised to give him 30% of the shares in our soon-to-open shop."

"For this 30% stake, we need to show him real spirit stones; otherwise, he can bring us in, but he can also kick us out."

Upon hearing this, everyone composed themselves, regaining their composure from the alcohol, and sat up straight.

Zheng Yifei continued, "The Eastern Divine Continent is rich in resources, but the competition is also fierce. The cultivation level of cultivators here is generally higher than that of the Southern Wilderness Region, but we also have our own advantages."

We survived in the Southern Wilderness, a place where people ate each other. Our combat experience, practical skills, and your solid craftsmanship are the foundation of our survival.

My plan is to open a large, multi-purpose store called "Southern Treasure Pavilion."

"The Treasure Pavilion?"

Ouyang Tian muttered, "That's a grand name."

"That's right, we're going to buy up local spiritual materials, process them into pills, array plates, talismans, and magical artifacts, and then sell them at high prices."

Zheng Yifei began assigning tasks: "Zhao Ling, you are a pill cultivator yourself, so from now on you will be in full charge of the pills for the Treasure Pavilion. Make a list of how many people and what kinds of spiritual herbs you need, and I'll figure out how to handle it."

Zhao Ling nodded solemnly: "Leave it to me. As long as there are enough materials, and we recruit a dozen or so apprentices and low-level alchemists, I guarantee that the quality of our pills will surpass all the pharmacies in the city."

Zheng Yifei looked at Ouyang Tian and Wang Changsheng: "Sect Master Ouyang, Changsheng, you two are the most accomplished in formations. I have seen the formations of the Eastern Divine Continent; they are exquisite, but lack lethality."

You need to incorporate the fierce formations of our Southern Wilderness Region into it, and create a portable formation plate.

Furthermore, if any major clients require on-site setup of a large-scale protective formation in the future, you will also be responsible for that.

"No problem, this is something we can handle."

Ouyang Tian patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Sect Leader Murong, the weapon-refining workshop is in your hands. Sect Leader Xu, keep the talisman workshop going. Don't worry about wasting materials, just keep drawing higher-level talismans."

Murong Hao and his son Xu Tianyang nodded in agreement.

Zheng Yifei turned to Su Wanqing, Xu Muyao, and Li Jianfeng: "Wanqing, Muyao, and Jianfeng, you three are all very thoughtful. From now on, you will be in charge of the store's daily operations, product stocking, accounting, and customer service."

Remember, everyone who enters our shop, regardless of their cultivation level, must be greeted with a smile. However, if anyone dares to cause trouble, we will never back down.

"Yifei, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of the store."

Su Wanqing said softly, her eyes full of determination.

Finally, Zheng Yifei's gaze fell on Night Owl and Ouyang Zhan. One was a top-tier assassin, and the other was a battle maniac.

"Night Owl, Ouyang Zhan. You two come with me to the police station to report for duty first thing tomorrow morning. The magistrate has already approved your assignments as yamen runners."

Zheng Yifei said, "From now on, you will wear official robes and follow me. Our Duobao Pavilion will do business in a friendly manner on the surface, but secretly, we must have a sharp knife."

Night Owl didn't speak, but simply nodded silently, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Ouyang Zhan grinned, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists: "Wearing official robes? Hehe, that's great! From now on, if anyone dares to cause trouble in our shop, I'll chop them up with a knife first!"

"As for me,"

Zheng Yifei stood up: "I'll be in charge of coordinating the entire operation of Duobaoge, resolving external troubles, and... finding shops and workshops for us."

The meeting went on until late at night, and everyone was clear about their responsibilities and full of fighting spirit.

The next morning, Zheng Yifei, dressed in his official robes, arrived at the police station with Ye Xiao and Ouyang Zhan, who had changed into yamen runners' uniforms.

When Wei Jun and the other four constables saw two unfamiliar faces behind Zheng Yifei, and the undisguised murderous aura emanating from these two people made them feel a chill run down their spines.

"This is Night Owl, and this is Ouyang Zhan. From now on, they're brothers in the police station, and they're both under my command."

Zheng Yifei gave a brief introduction without elaborating further.

Wei Jun and the others quickly stepped forward to pay their respects. Ye Xiao merely nodded coldly, while Ouyang Zhan patted Wei Jun on the shoulder, almost making Wei Jun sit down on the ground.

"Wei Jun, come here."

Zheng Yifei sat down in the armchair and waved.

Wei Jun quickly stepped forward: "What are your orders, sir?"

"Find me a spacious shop near the SF Express dock. Ideally, a three-story building facing the street, in a prominent location."

Also, find a sufficiently large location—not too bustling, but quiet—to use as a production workshop. This needs to be done quickly, the sooner the better.

"Understood, sir!"

Wei Jun accepted the order and immediately turned and ran out.
