After completing all the necessary formalities, the group left the place and directly went for the neru village in Neng county.

The city lord and his officials were standing outside bidding farewell to the group.

The city lord's name was Benong, he was currently waving his hand to bid farewell to the group.

After the group went far away, he turned his head and found his officials weirdly staring at him

They all had respectful expressions with some glow in their eyes.

'Sigh….it seems like they got fooled by my acting.'

"Do you guys really think that I am some good lord? I was just acting in front of them. Don't start causing trouble and don't disturb anyone understood? Now, let's go inside and continue our drink session." He said this in a nonchalant tone and left.

The officials were a bit shocked at his words,'So our city lord was just acting...yeah how can our city lord suddenly become so great? He must have been acting.'

With that they went back with Benong to continue their activity.

The group, after travelling for some time, finally reached Neng county.

The county looked poor and scarce as compared to other counties of the kingdom.

Many commoners and low-level cultivators could be seen walking on the street.

They didn't meet with anyone in the county and directly left for the Neru village.

After travelling a bit, they finally reached the village.

The village could be described in just one word…..poor….

There were half naked children playing on muds, some villagers with patched up clothes.

At first, Qing fa and her group were a bit uncomfortable but they soon got used to the atmosphere.

They didn't know where Bha tian's house was, so they asked a villager for directions.

The villager was just minding his own business when he noticed a group of strong looking people coming towards himself.

The villager got a fright but after knowing their intentions, he was relieved and told them the direction to Bha tian's house.

The villager was confused about why they wanted to meet Bha tian,'Doesn't matter, I should mind my own business.'

After a bit of walking they reached a decent looking hut, it looked much better than other poor huts in the surroundings.

Qing fa knocked the door of the house to check whether there was anyone inside.

After a while the door was opened by someone.

Weng opened the door and found Qing and some other cultivators standing outside the door.

He was a bit shocked,'they came so fast.'

"Woah...you are quiet fast Miss Qing"

Qing fa smiled and replied "Yeah, we kind of travelled quite fast, so where is Miss Bha tian?"

"She is inside with her family members, come let's talk inside."

With that the group went inside with Weng and met Bha tian and her family.

They sat down and talked about their business plan regarding neng county.

It was night time with a pale white moon in the night sky.

After their discussion was over, Qing fa and her group decided to stay for the night.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

On the next morning, the group along with Weng and Bha tian went to the Yung city and met with the city lord. After some discussion they choose a place to open their shop in.

The place was on one of the busiest markets in Neng county, they first decided to sell the torches in Neng county, if it becomes popular in the future then they would move to other parts of the county.

They won't expand outside of the city's sphere though…..as the city was under the sphere of the Qing prefecture's domain.

The higher ups would definitely be attracted by the torches in the future and it could bring trouble if they researched about the source of the torches, but it would be far in the future.

The torches first have to attain some fame before it could reach the ears of the higher ups of the prefecture.

In the future, the Tenzing sect could easily claim that these items were made by them, the prefecture wouldn't dare to question the sect, which would force them to contact the Du kingdom.

All this would take too much time, and who knows? By the time the Du kingdom finds out about the magical item the Tenzing sect could become even stronger.

Even if they couldn't increase their strength, they are still strong enough to confront the kingdom's higher ups, unless the king really hates the sect and wants to destroy it, he would avoid any major confrontations with the Sect.

This way their market could flourish for quite a while and that much time was enough for them to earn crazily.

After finalizing the plan, Bha tian along with Weng and her family members went outside to clean up the place and establish their market.

Qing fa and city lord Benong stayed behind to discuss the deal regarding their factions.

Weng and Bha tian reached their destination.

The place had many stalls and wooden shops on the sides of the road, normal people, cultivators, all sorts of people could be seen walking side by side.

There were murmurs, crying voices of children and many other sounds that you would find in any market area.

Bha tian looked for her shop and finally found it.

It was located on the intersection between two roads.

From the front, a straight wide road stopped at a point ahead and separated into two roads, one went in the direction to the left and the other in the right.

The point at which the main road stopped before separating was a decent sized wooden shop.

The shop was empty with no one inside, it seemed like the city lord's servants had already cleaned up the place.

Without waiting for anyone, they directly went inside to check out the shop.

They didn't notice that two suspicious people were looking in their direction.

The shop was clean and looked neat with ancient furnishings, Bha tian was overall satisfied with the shop.

Mengxi wasn't that interested, she kept focusing her eyes on Weng, while Chunxi and Yungxi were chatting with their husbands.

Suddenly, two muscular looking guys barged inside their shop.

"So!!! you people are the new shopkeepers of this shop huh!!!?" Said a muscular dark skinned guy with acne on his face.

"This is the area of our Hongdae faction, if you want to keep your life then pay fifty percent of your profit every month as toll money."

Bha tian was a bit shocked by their entrance but didn't say anything.

'eh what?.....toll money? Who even are you!!?'Mengxi was confused.

Yungxi and Chunxi had the same thought. 'Wow..they are so shameless, asking for money the moment they come inside.'

Yungxi's husband came forward arrogantly and said ''We don't care about your faction, get lost." The husband said this in a very casual tone as if they weren't worth anything.

His name was Bingwen, with a brown skin colour and an average looking face. Bingwen looked very arrogant today for some reason.

The muscular acne faced guy and his other partner got angry and were just about to flare up when, Chunx's husband also came forward, he cupped his fist "Sorry for my friend's rude behaviour just now, actually…...no….I actually wanted to say why should we give you money? Are you an idiot? your Hongdae faction should go and f**k off."After saying this, he went silent.

His name was Pingwen and also had an average looking brown face.

When he saw how Bingwen confronted the two muscular guys, he was a bit shocked.

They were childhood friends and knew each other very well.

He thought that there was something wrong with Bingwen today, so he decided to interfere and stop Bingwen from making unnecessary enemies, but while doing so he noticed Weng looking at him with some signal from his eyes.

After looking at Weng's signals, he realised that maybe he wanted us to act arrogant for some reason.

The muscular guy and his partner were shaking, their bodies and legs were shaking due to anger.

Chunxi seemed to have realised something and her eyes sparkled a bit, she suddenly came forward and said "Your Hungdae faction is very weak, your future won't be so bright with them, join us become our shop cleaners and you will soon reach the heavens."

The two muscular guys were already about to explode before, but after hearing the words of Chunxi they couldn't stop anymore, their eyes turned red and one of them even coughed out blood and lost consciousness due to increase in blood pressure.

The acne faced guy was the one who lost consciousness, his partner was slightly better.

He never expected this to happen today 'weren't we just trying to take toll money? How did this happen?.'

Suddenly he noticed a big muscular guy approaching him, the guy was even more muscular than them heck even bigger than their boss.

"Where is your base? Take me there." Said Weng with a threatening face.

The guy became afraid and could only helplessly leave the acne faced guy there and guide Weng to their base.

'This guy is so scary. I didn't wanted to disturb these people at first because of this guy, but that acne faced peice of shit had to be arrogant and disturb them even after seeing this massive dude.' he was angry at the acne faced person.

While walking Weng turned his body and said "Listen, we are new to this county and city with many dangerous and unknown factions, act arrogant and strong to avoid being targeted by people like this." He pointed at the person who was guiding him.

Bha tian's family members said in unison "Understood!!"

Weng nodded his head and left with the guy to find the Hongdae's base.
