Of course, this old man probably wanted to repay the favor, but it was undeniable that he had good intentions. Although it was said to be a life-saving grace, Mo Tiankong had previously stated that it was just a matter of convenience and that there was no need to repay him.
However, since they were fated to meet again in the Gao Clan's territory, he had to be a good host. Thus, he invited Mo Tiankong to be a guest and was willing to help him with business.
However, this old man's words were full of confidence and credibility. Mo Tiankong thought about it. Since he was the one who looked for him, he was borrowing the Zhang Clan's help. Moreover, the results were much better than if he did it himself.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." In the end, Mo Tiankong agreed. It was difficult to refuse such kindness, and there was no need to be pretentious about the mission.
"Store Manager Mo is too polite." Then Gao Zhan gestured for him to follow and led the way forward.
The group of young martial artists also followed behind, but they still whispered about Gao Zhan's politeness to Mo Tiankong.
"Why do you think Grandpa Gao is so polite to this young man?"
"I don't know either. Just now, I think he said something about Store Manager Mo."
"Which store manager in the city deserves such treatment from Grandpa Gao?"
"He's so young. How's his cultivation?"
"I can't feel it."
"Hey, Gao Fei, you're already a third-grade Martial General. Can't you feel it?"
.....
Yesterday, when they encountered the Giant Horned Rhinoceros, they ran away quickly. Afterwards, Gao Zhan did not tell these people about it, so this group of people did not know that it was Mo Tiankong who killed that terrifying beast.
As for why they did not return directly yesterday, it was because they had just brought this group of martial artists out to gain experience. Later on, when Gao Zhan found this group of people, they continued to stay in the outermost area for another day.
It was not until this morning that they returned to the city. On the way back, they just happened to see Mo Tiankong walking out of a store, so this scene happened.
Although these people were speaking softly, Mo Tiankong could still hear them. With his current body and hearing ability, he could naturally hear them from a short distance away.
None of these young martial artists were at the level of Wuzong, so they didn't know how to use telepathy. Even if they could release their telepathy, Mo Tiankong could still hear them if he wanted to.
"Store Manager Mo, please don't lower yourself to the same level as these juniors." Gao Zhan naturally heard it as well. Fortunately, he didn't gossip, but he still explained it to Mo Tiankong.
"Mr. Gao, it's fine." Mo Tiankong didn't have much of a reaction. What was wrong with whispering? Besides, he didn't say anything bad, so he replied casually.
Gao Zhan then introduced the history of Songcheng to Mo Tiankong as they walked.
In the wild beast forest near Songcheng, there was a branch that was rich in pine trees. It faced the city gate of Songcheng. Martial artists could see it from a distance in the early morning, so they named the city Songcheng.
There were even some trees planted in the city. Mo Tiankong also saw some along the way. However, there was a difference between the pine trees here and those on Earth. The pine trees here were very tall.
In fact, the trees in the wild mountain were abnormally tall. It might have something to do with the vitality environment. The two trees in the grocery store were also very tall.
Of course, there weren't only trees like pine trees. There were all kinds of trees, animals, and plants. The sound field of some small branches of the mountain range was different, so the plants suitable for growth were also different.
When Mo Tiankong came over, he didn't look carefully. Who would recognize pine trees that were one or two hundred meters tall? The tallest trees were even three hundred meters tall. These mountains could also be considered a primitive forest.
Due to the vitality environment, they grew exceptionally lush. Animals had become spirits, but he didn't know if there were any plants. He hadn't seen any so far.
Animals were originally considered spiritual creatures, so it was understandable for them to become spirits. As for plants, even if they were full of vitality, although they were still living creatures, it was obviously a little difficult for them to become spirits. They just grew exceptionally lush.
Of course, Mo Tiankong didn't know if there were any. If there were trees that were thousands of years old, there might be a possibility that they could become spirits.
The group passed through the city center and stopped in front of a huge mansion.
"Store Manager Mo, please come in," Gao Zhan said again when they reached the door.
Mo Tiankong looked up and saw the words' City Lord's Mansion 'on the door. Are you sure you didn't lead the wrong way? But seeing the group of young people go in first, he could only believe it.
It seemed that the Gao family was related to the City Lord. They were the most powerful family in the city. No wonder Gao Zhan was so arrogant and even called for trading companies. Previously, he thought that the Gao family was one of the more powerful families in the city.
However, he didn't expect that the Gao family was related to the City Lord. Even if the City Lord was sent by the Empire, it was undeniable that he was the most powerful family in the city.
As for whether there was a matching family, Mo Tiankong didn't want to know and didn't need to know. No matter what, the Gao family was still very powerful in the city. They could save Mo Tiankong some time and make it more convenient for him to promote his products.
The reason why Gao Zhan said that was because he wanted to see Mo Tiankong's shocked expression. However, he was disappointed. Mo Tiankong only glanced at him and then followed him in. Thinking that Mo Tiankong had such a cultivation at such a young age, he must have a powerful family behind him.
Moreover, it might be a powerful business family. Because Mo Tiankong said that he was here to do business, Gao Zhan couldn't help but be a little more careful.
Generally, if a business family like this wanted to do business in other cities, it wouldn't be a small matter. It was possible for them to enter Songcheng on a large scale. However, this wouldn't affect the City Lord's Mansion's interests. The bigger impact would be on the other trading companies.
Doing business in Songcheng would only benefit the city. Booth fees, taxes, and so on were all spirit stones.
Moreover, although there were booths on Songcheng Street, they were all paid. The market couldn't handle such a large transaction, so they put up booths on the street. However, they still had to ensure that pedestrians could pass through without hindrance. Therefore, the booths were basically on the side of the street.
The guards at the door naturally wouldn't stop them. Gao Zhan definitely knew them. They were the higher-ups of the family. If they didn't want to live, they could stop them.
After entering the mansion, Gao Zhan took Mo Tiankong to a courtyard. It was almost noon, so Gao Zhan immediately ordered people to prepare a banquet.
"Store Manager Mo, can you eat something first before you do anything?" Gao Zhan asked politely.
"No problem, no problem." Mo Tiankong was mainly worried that there wouldn't be enough food. After all, there was the Auspicious. Of course, there should be a lot of food at the banquet.
Then Gao Zhan called a steward over. After whispering some instructions to the steward, he left.
"Yes, Fifth Lord." The steward responded and then left the courtyard.
Then the two of them began to talk. Mo Tiankong also learned some things about the Gao family.
There was an old man in the Gao family who was a Venerable Realm warrior and the current Mayor of Songcheng. However, he was obsessed with martial arts. Usually, the trivial matters of the Mayor's Mansion were taken care of by his five sons. Gao Zhan happened to be in charge of the business in the city.
As for why he went out, it was because he had a grandson among the young warriors. Gao Zhan only had one grandson, so he naturally cared about him. He originally wanted to send someone else, but he didn't feel at ease, so he took the initiative to go.
Mo Tiankong not only saved him, but also his only grandson. Last time, Mo Tiankong left in a hurry, so he had to invite him back this time. The business was just incidental.
Four generations living together, and if there were no accidents, there would be five or six generations. Venerables had a very long lifespan. It was rare for the Zhang family to have three generations living together. Some super families might have dozens of generations.
If there was a Martial God Realm ancestor who was still alive, then it might be possible. Of course, the premise was that he didn't die. In the world of warriors, anything was possible.
After a sumptuous lunch, Mo Tiankong and Auspicious ate to their heart's content. Gao Zhan was not stingy. There were all kinds of good things in the banquet, such as wine that had been aged for decades and mixed with rare natural treasures. There were also spirit fruits and the like. Even the dishes were made with the flesh of King Realm beasts and some rare beasts.
After resting for a while, the steward from before came back. Mo Tiankong guessed that the stewards of many businesses had arrived.
"Store Manager Mo, most of the businesses in Songcheng are here," Gao Zhan said.
"Thank you for your trouble," Mo Tiankong said politely.
Then the two of them walked to a hall on the side of the courtyard. There were many warriors waiting in the hall. When they saw Gao Zhan enter, they all stood up.
"Elder Gao, what did you call us here for?" many people asked.
"It's nothing important. This is Store Manager Mo. I hope that everyone can help him in Songcheng," Gao Zhan looked at Mo Tiankong and said to the warriors in the hall.
Gao Zhan was a little embarrassed. He was so focused on eating and drinking that he forgot to ask what business Mo Tiankong was in. So he could only say this.
"Hey, Elder Gao, I thought there was something important. It's a small matter. If Store Manager Mo has any questions, he can come to my Mingyu Business Firm to find me," one of the managers said.
After one person spoke, the rest followed suit. Their words were more or less the same. Since Gao Zhan wanted to support this store manager Mo, the various trading companies that wanted to survive in Songcheng naturally had to give him face.
Moreover, he called so many businesses here just for this matter. It was obvious that he thought highly of Store Manager Mo. The group of people expressed that they could give him some help.
"Manager Mo, can you tell me what kind of business you do?" Gao Zhan asked Mo Kongkong through telepathy while the others were echoing him.
Mo Tiankong also reacted and said.
"Managers, I opened a store in the Aquamarine Empire. There are only 12 items for sale. I don't know if you are interested," Mo Tiankong said as he took out the items in the store.
"Aquamarine Empire? I think I remember. Where is it?" One of the managers took out a map and looked at it.
"Store Manager Mo, what are the 12 items?" A few of them didn't recognize the items Mo Tiankong took out, so they asked.
