Martial Master

Liu Xuanrui did not expect that shortly after the royal family announced the transfer of ownership of the slum in the West City, the Alchemy Pavilion would directly turn all the buildings in the slum into rubble.

More than a dozen Martial Venerable experts, like individual human-shaped bombers, led nearly a hundred thousand workers and in just half a day's effort, they demolished the originally dilapidated slum and built temporary residences.

Following that, the Alchemy Pavilion began a massive construction project in the slum, with a magnificent building rising up, attracting the attention of the entire royal city.

Originally, these martial artists were extremely resistant to demolishing the slum, but since they had already signed an agreement with the Alchemy Pavilion, they had no choice but to endure the pain and get to work.

However, when they discovered that the temporary residences built for them by the Alchemy Pavilion were even better than their original homes, they suddenly became full of motivation.

Previously, they lived in dirty and messy shanties, with all sorts of smelly ditches everywhere.

But now, they lived in spacious and comfortable collective dormitories, four people to a room. Even though it was a temporary residence, the materials used were exquisite and it was several times better than their original shanties.

For workers with families, the Alchemy Pavilion also arranged family dormitories, with one family living in one dormitory. The children would be educated by personnel sent by the Alchemy Pavilion, while the wives were trained as service staff or worked miscellaneous jobs in the Alchemy Pavilion.

Moreover, each worker received free special effect elixirs for cultivation every day.

Under such circumstances, how could these workers have any complaints? They all worked incredibly hard.

In just three days, the preliminary shape of the commercial square planned by Qin Chen had already taken form, a magnificent building occupying an area equivalent to one hundred Alchemy Pavilions, hazily presented to the many forces of the royal city.

Now, everyone in the royal city was discussing the events in the slum every day.

Naturally, the forces like the Leng family were no exception and immediately focused their attention on it.

However, no matter how much they speculated, they could not figure out what the Alchemy Pavilion was trying to do.

"What a huge building? The Alchemy Pavilion can't possibly have made enough money to build a new headquarters here, can it? But this scale is way too large, isn't it? It’s almost comparable to the royal palace, that’s too extravagant," Leng Pogo couldn't help but voice his confusion.

They had no idea how much the Alchemy Pavilion had spent to acquire this piece of land, but just recruiting almost all the inhabitants of the slum and taking down such a large area to build a headquarters was a level of extravagance that made one’s teeth ache.

Xu Bo and others naturally didn’t care about how the other forces in the royal city thought. Every day they arranged craftsmen to direct a hundred thousand workers in a vigorous construction effort, with resources and elixirs consumed each day amounting to astronomical figures.

But the efficiency was also astonishing.

In just one week, the preliminary shape of the commercial square had already taken form.

Additionally, the first phase of the bidding notice had already been posted on all the bulletin boards throughout the royal city.

"Officially open for bidding on the rental of shops at the West City Chendi Pavilion commercial center. There are four standards: Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, and Grade D. Grade A shops, depending on area and location, have an annual rent of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand medium-grade true stones, located in the core area of the commercial center's main building; Grade B shops rent for thirty thousand to fifty thousand medium-grade true stones per year, located in the outer area of the commercial center's main building; Grade C shops rent for one thousand to twenty thousand medium-grade true stones per year, located in the peripheral buildings of the commercial center; Grade D shops rent for five thousand to ten thousand medium-grade true stones per year, located inside the outer buildings of the commercial center. The first day is a grand rental celebration, with a fifty percent discount."
