Smooth Water Pavilion.
It was one of the four major shops in the eastern part of the Colossal Bull City.
It occupied an area as large as hundreds of football fields.
Xiatian and the others had just stepped out of the teleportation array when they sensed that this place was very lively. All the nearby streets had become lively because of the Smooth Water Pavilion.
An important place could often drive all the nearby shops.
The Smooth Water Pavilion was one such place. There were countless shops of various sizes around it. All of them were similar to the Smooth Water Pavilion.
"Let's go. The Smooth Water Pavilion is at the end of this street." Bishop Cao led Xiatian towards the Smooth Water Pavilion.
Along the way, the shops were bursting with business. There were very few fights because everyone was busy making money. The stronger a person was, the more they needed spirit stones. That was because they consumed a lot of spirit stones for cultivation. Moreover, just casually buying a level seven medicinal pill would cost a lot of spirit stones, not to mention weapons.
Even the ultimate spirit artefact would cost an astronomical price.
Additionally, there were also spirit pets. If one wanted a good spirit pet, they would have to spend a lot of money to buy it. After buying it, they would also have to train it. Everything required money. Even the children of the major families were short on money.
In order to increase their strength, everyone had to spend money. This was also the main reason why a random level seven or eight cultivator in the Wasteland could have hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. However, the people of the Lower Three Realms' Four Cauldrons did not have many.
In the Wasteland, one would have nowhere to spend money. It was simply impossible to buy so many good things. However, in the Lower Three Realms, there were only things that one could not buy. There was no money that one could not spend.
The Colossal Bull City was also one of the most powerful cities in the Lower Three Realms. It was a sixth-tier city. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons everywhere.
"The Colossal Bull City has so many territories under its jurisdiction. Moreover, the city itself is so big. The commerce and trade are so good. The taxes collected every year must be quite high." Xiatian sighed.
"It is indeed quite high. However, the consumption is also very high. The Colossal Bull City is already taking good care of the merchants and the cities below. Moreover, there is a need for maintenance everywhere. There are armies everywhere. There are also many disasters outside. Some bounty hunters are needed to complete missions and so on. Almost all of these expenses are paid by the City Lord Mansion. Therefore, the City Lord Mansion itself does not have much left," Bishop Cao explained.
"Actually, the City Lord's Mansion also has its own business chain, and it also has a lot of special expenses. Without the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, no one would be able to earn money in peace," Liu Shishi's sister said.
"Oh, thank you for your guidance, sister-in-law," Xiatian said respectfully.
When Bishop Cao heard Xiatian's words, he almost died of anger. He had been talking for a long time, but Xiatian didn't even say a word of thanks. Now, Xiatian only said one sentence, and Xiatian started to thank her. He even called her sister-in-law.
Liu Shishi's sister smiled even more sweetly.
Soon, Xiatian saw the words' Smooth Water Pavilion '.
Shun Shui Pavilion's entrance was very large. Even if four or five people walked in a row, they wouldn't feel crowded. However, the people here rarely lined up with others. Instead, they went to their own places. Xiatian discovered that the people who entered here all had faces full of excitement. It was as if the treasures inside were free.
Most of the people who came out were frowning. It was obvious that they didn't bring enough money, so they didn't manage to buy anything good.
When Xiatian and the others walked to the entrance and were about to enter, a young master was also about to walk in. However, when he saw that Xiatian was about to walk in, he immediately stopped.
"How dare you walk in when you see our Young Master Yu." A person behind the young master shouted.
Hearing his words, Xiatian frowned. Then, he turned his head and looked at the person: "Are you f * cking talking to me?"
"You actually dare to scold me." The servant acted as if he had heard something inconceivable.
"Yes, I'm scolding you. Bite me." Xiatian wasn't someone to be trifled with. The entrance was right there, and he didn't try to rush in. Moreover, the entrance was large enough for five people to walk through. He went in alone, and the servant stopped. Then, he actually dared to shout at him.
"Do you believe that I won't cripple you?" The servant looked at Xiatian angrily.
"Do you mean that you want to risk your life with me? Then you better prepare your own life for me first. " Xiatian's gaze turned cold. Then, a boundless murderous intent emerged from his body. In terms of murderous intent, Xiatian was never afraid of anyone. He had been killing his way here. Moreover, he had killed those who were above his level. This kind of killing itself increased his murderous intent.
After the servant was enveloped by Xiatian's murderous intent, he was so scared that his legs went soft. His back was covered in cold sweat.
"Stop." Young Master Yu, who had been silent all this time, shouted.
"Who do you think you are? Why should I stop just because you tell me to? "Xiatian turned his head and looked at Young Master Yu.
"Hmph, you have to look at the owner before you hit the dog. You're good. Just you wait." Young Master Yu turned and left.
"Idiot." Xiatian scolded, then walked inside.
The surrounding people looked at Xiatian with sympathy.
"You're always in trouble wherever you go." Bishop Cao said helplessly.
"He provoked me first." Xiatian said.
"As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. They are the local snakes." Bishop Cao said slowly.
"I didn't block their way. What's there to suppress? The door is so wide. Even if I wanted to block it, I couldn't." Xiatian gestured with his hands. Even if he stretched out his arms, he wouldn't be able to block it.
"Although the door here is wide, the door is the entrance. How can several people pass through the entrance at the same time? Especially those who value their status. They like to let others pass first. This is a matter of face. Just now, that person thought that you would give way, but he didn't expect you to walk through directly. That's why he was so angry." Bishop Cao said.
"Does that person have a powerful background?" Xiatian asked.
"I don't know how big his background is, but it seems like he's a local tyrant. Juniu City is too big, and there's chaos everywhere. Even the City Lord's Mansion can't do anything about it because there are too many people here. That's why there are some bullies. This Young Master Yu should be a second generation bully," Bishop Cao explained.
Xiatian had heard of the second generation of rich people and officials, but this was the first time he heard of the second generation of evil.
This title was a little too overbearing.
"This kind of person has a certain background. Although they won't make a big deal out of things, they will sometimes play dirty tricks in the dark. Even ordinary families are not willing to provoke them." Liu Shishi's sister said.
"They better not provoke me." Xiatian didn't want to spoil this kind of people.
