Bai Jin spoke up, "Xiao Jin, scan the Magic Treasures on the third layer of the bank’s space, and put them all in the Magic Treasure Rental Area."
"Okay, Master!"
An invisible ripple spread from within Bai Jin, sweeping across the entire Heavenly Court, completely undetectable to ordinary Immortal Gods.
In the Turquoise Pool, the Jade Emperor looked up towards the Bird’s Nest, wondering what his little Junior Nephew was up to this ti. Never mind, he thought, turning back to continue enjoying the dance performance below, a smile in his eyes and fingers rhythmically tapping on the table top.
...
Inside the Bird’s Nest, Bai Jin clicked on the icon for the Magic Treasure Rental Area. A series of three-dinsional projections of Magic Treasures appeared, lifelike as if they were really right before his eyes, and said, "To rent a Magic Treasure, one must submit an application. Only after the review can the Magic Treasure be rented, and I will provide you with the review standards."
"Understood, Master, I will conduct strict reviews."
Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang from outside: "Senior Brother, we are back."
Bai Jin waved his hand to retract the Round Pearl, got up, and walked outside. With a thunderous sound, the palace doors swung open, revealing Shi Ji and Gu Liang standing prettily outside.
Bai Jin asked with a smile, "Are you two Junior Sisters doing well?"
Gu Liang clenched her fist and raised it proudly, showing off her arm and cheerfully said, "I feel like I could take on two Senior Sisters."
Shi Ji rolled her eyes beside her, as if to say, with your little ability, I could knock down three with a single punch.
Bai Jin warmly gestured with his hand and said, "Please, Junior Sisters, step into the main hall."
Shi Ji and Gu Liang followed Bai Jin towards the distant main hall. Once inside, they casually took three seats down below.
Shi Ji said, "Senior Brother, Yun Xiao said you had sothing to summon us for."
Bai Jin stretched out his hand and a black sphere with array patterns circling it appeared in his palm.
Gu Liang curiously asked: "Senior Brother, what is this? Is it a Magic Treasure you’ve newly crafted?"
"This is a Magic Treasure commissioned from Eldest Uncle, with infinite wonderful uses that could change the landscape of the Three Realms.
Xiao Jin, show them how it works."
"Yes, Master!" A crisp female voice responded.
A crystal-clear glint flowed along the patterns of the sphere, and the whole orb clicked as it opened outward, transforming into a book-sized black tablet. Array patterns ford in the shape of a palace on the back of the tablet, identical to the palace depicted on the rit Money, which was none other than Zixiao Palace.
"Activate projection mode?"
"Do it!"
The ultra-thin black tablet projected a beam of light, creating a screen with a store icon on it, and below it were the big characters of Three Realms Mall.
The Three Realms Mall opened, and a lodious tune played out: Your treasures, my treasures, are actually all the sa~~
Shi Ji and Gu Liang were even more confused. How could our treasures be the sa?
Xiao Jin began to introduce them to the business model and usage of Pin Pin Treasure. They listened attentively, nodding at tis, and asking questions at others.
After the introduction, the screen disappeared and the black tablet shrank back into a small sphere.
Bai Jin put the small sphere away and asked, "Did you understand?"
Gu Liang excitedly exclaid, "Understood."
Bai Jin was pleased and said, "Good to know, what was the key point Xiao Jin just talked about?"
"We can make a lot of money!" Gu Liang was thrilled.
Bai Jin gave an exasperated look at Gu Liang. When did you beco so money-minded?
Shi Ji pulled Gu Liang aside and said seriously, "Senior Brother, you are planning to use this Magic Treasure to unify the Three Realms, promoting the flow of wealth and comrce across them."
Bai Jin nodded in approval and said, "Shi Ji understands well, that’s exactly my intention.
Cultivators across the Three Realms tend to be wary of one another with little communication, hoarding Immortal Materials and Divine Treasures, even if they have no use for them, deep within their treasuries. This approach is undoubtedly a massive waste of Primordial resources.
What we need to do is to integrate the resources of the Three Realms, letting wealth circulate, creating a harmonious and natural Primordial World for the creatures of the Three Realms."
"Senior Brother’s plan is undoubtedly excellent, but the first thing needed for the promotion of this Three... Three Realms Mall is the influx of a large number of rchants settling in, otherwise, it won’t attract the creatures of the Three Realms to use it."
Bai Jin nodded and replied, "What Shi Ji said is true; that is the first problem we need to overco.
You no longer need to worry about the plans for Buddhism, as I have better plans now. With the start of the Westward Journey, I plan to keep them busy and in disarray."
Gu Liang blinked her big eyes, saying how great Senior Brother’s plans sounded, but wondering how to implent them.
Bai Jin instructed, "I’ll refine a batch of mother machines and place them in each bank. From now on, users who purchase from Eastern Mall must register through a bank verification process. Eastern Mall will be linked to bank accounts, and users will need to transfer money from their accounts to top-up."
Gu Liang suddenly realized and said, "Senior Brother, you’re tricking them into saving money!"
Bai Jin retorted, "What do you an ’tricking’? I am helping them. It’s not convenient to keep money in one’s own pocket—what if it’s stolen or robbed? It’s safer in the bank."
Shi Ji frowned and said, "Junior Sister, be more mindful with your words. Senior Brother is a Great Divine Power wielder, known throughout the Three Realms, with Dao Heart Perfection, and a True Spirit without blemish. He guides the Primordial with a heart of purity. If others slander Senior Brother like this, they must be punished for defamation."
Gu Liang stuck out her tongue, "Alright~ alright~ I was wrong, Senior Sister."
"Gu Liang, you will go down to the mortal world, taking charge of the Hundred Schools to assist you in promoting Eastern Mall and rchant registration.
Many mortal world rchants have connections with the Hundred Schools, particularly many disciples from the Mixed School are involved in comrce. With their help, getting rchants to settle in should be no problem."
Gu Liang nodded eagerly, brimming with confidence and said, "Mhm~ Leave it to , you can rest assured!"
Bai Jin looked at Gu Liang and said, "It’s not enough, I’m still not reassured.
Tell you what~ after this, go find Yun Xiao and have her accompany you."
Gu Liang pouted, huffing, "Senior Brother, I can do it."
"That’s decided then, you’re still sowhat unreliable."
Gu Liang put her hands on her hips, pouting with her eyes rolling around.
Bai Jin spoke with irritation, "Don’t even think of running off alone. It would be effortless for Yun Xiao to find you."
"Aiya~ I didn’t plan to! I was just thinking about how to better fulfill Senior Brother’s mission," Gu Liang instantly brightened up, smiling gleefully.
Bai Jin teased, "I’ll tell you a secret!"
Gu Liang perked up her ears, looking at Bai Jin with curiosity.
"Every ti you’re up to no good, those little buns on your head start spinning non-stop."
Gu Liang’s smile froze for a mont as her two little buns, like little horns, suddenly stiffened. She snapped back to her senses and annoyed, she retorted, "Senior Brother, you’re tricking again."
Calmly, Shi Ji interjected, "Everything Senior Brother says is true!"
