Immortality Starts From Making Money.

Mo Jian stood at the highest floor of the Golden Phoenix restaurant, looking at the crowd that had already gathered at the entrance.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips when he saw the ever-increasing fame of his restaurant.

With the Assembly Summit just over a week away, the population of the Imperial Capital was increasing with each passing day.

People had begun to arrive.

And with the rising fame of the Golden Phoenix Restaurant, he knew it was only a matter of time before everyone knew his restaurant throughout the continent.

As long as he could dominate the market during the Assembly Summit, his roots would be planted in the Imperial Capital, making them unshakable.

Even though everything had been planned out, he knew trouble would soon come knocking.

"Young Master, I think we should introduce the lower grade Spirit Tea." Zhao Tian said as he entered the room.

Mo Jian shook his head. "We must not. This is exclusive for the experts with real power…" He paused to arrange his thoughts.

He knew many of those following were wondering why he did not allow them to sell the Spirit Tea.

"This is just the first week and the most dangerous week of our business. As long as we can scale through these troubled times, introducing the lower grade Spirit Tea would be a breeze."

"But first, we show those old experts what they could enjoy exclusively from our restaurant. Something that could not be found anywhere."

"From this arrangement, we would be able to form many alliances with those that wanted to partner with us."

Listening to Mo Jian, Zhao Tian realized Mo Jian had thought of everything.

Their restaurant was not only considering profit but long-term gain.

In the Imperial Capital, they could not act wantonly, else they would be destroyed without knowing how.

"Young Master, I understand." Zhao Tian responded with deep respect.

Since he started following Mo Jian, he had never regretted it. He attained heights he thought were impossible in his life.

"How is the purchase going?" Mo Jian asked, turning his head to look at the people below.

"Going smoothly. We've acquired the hotel and we're prepared to buy the large warehouses."

"Good. Keep up the good work."

Zhao Tian nodded and left the room, leaving only Mo Jian in the room.

Looking at the ever-increasing crowd, Mo Jian's instinct told him things wouldn't go as smoothly as the previous day.

…

At the restaurant entrance, the crowd was already waiting impatiently.

News had been circulating about how their Tier-1 Spirit Food could allow people to break through their bottlenecks with ease.

Those stuck at a bottleneck in their cultivation could not miss such a chance.

Slowly, the door was opened. Many wished to rush into the restaurant but knew of the strange rules.

Instantly, their impatience vanished into thin air as they slowly approached the female attendant at the entrance.

Just as the people began to enter the restaurant, a group walked toward the Golden Phoenix Restaurant.

The lowest of them had the aura of an Intermediate Golden Core Expert while the strongest was at Peak Golden Core Realm Stage 8.

Such a powerful formation was enough to deter any force.

Instantly, the crowd stopped in their tracks and retreated.

All eyes fell on the new arrivals. Everyone knew what this was all about.

Arriving before the calm female attendant, the middle-aged man leading the group demanded in a cold voice.

"Where is your owner? Call him out right now."

His suffocating pressure pressed down on the female attendant.

Under the terrifying pressure, the female attendant only creased her brow for a moment before she struggled to reply.

"Your action has gone against the rules of the restaurant. You're all banned."

What!

The men and the crowd were stunned. This was not the response they expected.

Under such frightening pressure, who still cared about some useless rules?

The man recovered quickly and sneered. He raised his hand to teach the female attendant a lesson.

Suddenly, a horrifying killing intent locked on his body. He shivered and his hand trembled.

What is this killing intent?

This was something beyond the Golden Core Realm. The killing intent was so frightening that many were about to lose consciousness.

Although they were not the ones targeted, the effect was too powerful for their weak cultivation to withstand.

"Broken Blade, long time no see, old friend." A voice echoed in the sky.

"Humph! This will be my last warning. Anyone who dares to target this restaurant again will answer to my blade."

Broken Blade's voice faded together with his killing intent. However, those on the ground did not recover for a few minutes.

As for the group of Golden Core Experts, they were trembling with their spines drenched in cold sweat.

They came to intimidate the restaurant to give out their secret recipe, only to encounter an old monster.

Against such an old monster, what was their measly strength? They wouldn't know how they died if they were attacked.

With their tails tucked between their legs, they rushed and escaped, having lost all the courage to stay any longer.

Those in the shadows that were waiting for the show to start quickly retreated into the shadows to report to the various forces behind them.

The Golden Phoenix Restaurant was not just any restaurant. They had an old monster backing them.

Against such overwhelming power, any form of schemes and plots would be useless. To confront such an old monster, they would need to bring out their big guns.

Now that everyone realized the Golden Phoenix Restaurant was not just any ordinary restaurant—

The crowd became well-behaved. Every strange thought vanished into thin air.

Slowly, luxurious carriages began to arrive one after the other as if they had been let loose.

"Let's hope the Standard Grade Tier-1 Spirit Food is as magical as the rumor says." An old man grinned as he walked into the restaurant after showing his wealth.

Behind the old man was a beautiful woman with a little girl. The woman watched everything in fascination.

She looked at the quiet attendant and showed her wealth. Receiving the green signal, they entered the restaurant.

Beside her, her daughter was already drooling for the Spirit Food that would appear before her.

'T-This…' She smiled and shook her head.

'Let's see what this restaurant was hiding.'
