Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren are shown a low-end car by a rude salesman who judges them by their appearance. He dismisses their interest in luxury cars until Xu Wendong insists. When a wealthy customer arrives, the salesman immediately abandons Xu Wendong to fawn over the new arrival. Lin Yiren is angered by the snobbish behavior, but Xu Wendong remains calm. He then calls over a young, inexperienced saleswoman and proceeds to purchase both the Mercedes-Benz and the BMW he had been looking at, much to the disbelief of the staff.

The male salesperson was taken aback by Lin Yiren’s statement, his expression fluctuating between anger and embarrassment. Despite this, he managed to compose himself and stammered, "I apologize for my earlier oversight. I failed to recognize your importance."

"I hope to make amends by offering both of you the best possible service, ensuring your car-buying experience is seamless and satisfactory." He plastered on a smile, attempting to convey sincerity.

Xu Wendong regarded him with a chilling gaze and declared, "No, we do not trust you. Please return the card to Miss Huang so she can handle our transaction."

The male salesperson was about to protest when the showroom manager hurried over. Having been informed of Xu Wendong’s intent to purchase two luxury vehicles and the prior discourtesy shown by his subordinate, the manager acted swiftly.

The manager shot a reproachful look at the male salesperson and reprimanded him, "Return the card to Huang Xiaoxian immediately. You have already severely damaged the company’s reputation, and we will deal with you later!"

A look of apprehension crossed the male salesperson’s face as he reluctantly handed the card back to Huang Xiaoxian, feeling a deep sense of regret. How could he have missed their true potential?

These two individuals appeared so unassuming; how could they possibly afford to purchase two luxury cars simultaneously, each worth millions?

Huang Xiaoxian accepted the card and guided Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren into the VIP lounge.

Inside the VIP room, Huang Xiaoxian expertly prepared fine tea and refreshments for them before proceeding to efficiently manage the car purchase procedures.

Throughout the process, she discreetly observed Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren, a sense of curiosity and admiration growing within her.

Before long, Huang Xiaoxian concluded all the necessary paperwork. She respectfully presented the car keys and associated documents to Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren, stating, "Your Sir, and Madam, all procedures are finalized. The vehicles are prepared at the showroom entrance."

"Should any issues arise in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me directly."

Xu Wendong acknowledged her words with a nod. He then passed the BMW key to Lin Yiren, kept the Mercedes key for himself, and they departed the lounge.

Both individuals entered their respective newly acquired vehicles. As the engines roared to life, the luxurious cars emitted a deep, potent sound before smoothly driving away from the showroom.

Upon returning home.

Lin Yiren immediately headed to the kitchen to begin preparing lunch.

After a simple meal, Xu Wendong made his way to the villa’s backyard.

With a mere thought, his storage bag emanated a faint shimmer, and its opening materialized, releasing an aura of mystery and antiquity.

Within lay a multitude of items he had gathered during his journeys through the Cultivation World and even the Immortal Realm, including several rare and precious types of wood.

Xu Wendong intended to select a suitable piece of wood to carve the signboard for his shop.

His gaze drifted across the contents of the storage bag, sensing the subtle fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from the various woods, as if each held its own unique story.

Eventually, his attention was drawn to a piece of wood that emitted a soft, faint luminescence.

Upon removing the wood, the surrounding Spiritual Energy rippled gently. Its surface radiated a soft, mystical glow, a lingering twilight from the river of time.

The natural grain patterns resembled mountains and rivers, flowing with a smooth, rhythmic cadence, whispering ancient tales and containing immeasurable mystical power.

Xu Wendong carefully placed the wood upon a stone table in the courtyard. His eyes were filled with intense focus and eager anticipation, much like a master craftsman poised to create a priceless treasure, a perfect vision already formed in his mind.

He extended his hands, his fingers gently caressing the wood’s surface, the sensation allowing him a deeper understanding of its texture and grain.

Though the wood appeared unexceptional, it possessed extraordinary hardness and an internal resilience that perfectly complemented his creative aspirations.

Next, Xu Wendong reached back into his storage bag, withdrawing a top-tier Immortal Artifact that blazed with resplendent light.

The entire form of this Immortal Artifact longsword was exquisitely clear, inscribed with countless enigmatic runes through which spiritual power seemed to flow. As Xu Wendong clasped it, a formidable power coursed through him. He closed his eyes, clearing his mind completely, quieting his thoughts.

Deep within his consciousness, an ancient and majestic plaque began to materialize. The plaque’s design exuded immense power, as though capable of rending the void with every stroke, yet it maintained an ethereal grace, like an Immortal dancing amidst the clouds, leaving behind a fleeting imprint.

When he reopened his eyes, they blazed with brilliance, akin to dazzling stars against the velvet night sky. Gripping the Immortal Artifact longsword, he swung it with great force. The wood, which should have been unyielding, parted as easily as tofu, leaving behind a perfectly clean and smooth cut.

Subsequently, the longsword in his hand moved with swift, precise artistry across the wood, like a fluid, dancing dragon.

With every brush of the sword against the wood, it felt like a clash of souls, resulting in a flurry of sawdust that descended like a snowy spectacle.

Bathed in the sun's rays, these airborne wood particles shimmered with a golden luminescence, appearing alive as they performed a graceful dance.

His movements flowed with natural ease, completed in a single, continuous motion. Each incision was imbued with profound Spiritual Power and exceptional artistry.

As the engraving knife bit deeper, the characters on the plaque emerged with increasing clarity.

The three prominent characters, 'Mystic Spirit Pavilion,' seemed to awaken from a profound slumber, like a colossal beast stirring. They radiated a commanding presence, as if infused with the essence of an immortal being, inspiring both awe and deep respect.

The surrounding atmosphere appeared to ripple with the carving process, vibrating subtly as if in applause for the marvelous craftsmanship.

A surge of Spiritual Energy, akin to an engulfing tide, swirled around Xu Wendong and the plaque. This energy coalesced into intricate runic patterns, bestowing an aura of enchantment and wonder upon the creation.

Lin Yiren stood quietly nearby, observing the entire process with rapt attention.

Her gaze was filled with adoration and deep affection. In that moment, Xu Wendong was the sole center of her universe, the rest of the world fading into irrelevance.

Time slipped away unnoticed as Xu Wendong continued his intricate carving. The sun gradually descended towards the west, casting a golden hue across the courtyard, enveloping both Xu Wendong and his plaque in a dreamlike luminescence.

At long last, the final stroke was executed, and the entire plaque seemed to burst into life, emitting a blinding radiance.

This brilliant light soared towards the heavens like a majestic column, drawing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to converge in a spectacular display, forming a breathtaking vortex of spiritual power.

Xu Wendong slowly lowered his longsword, exhaling a deep breath. A smile of profound satisfaction touched his lips.

While his eyes betrayed a hint of fatigue, they predominantly conveyed the immense satisfaction and pride derived from bringing a masterpiece to fruition.

Lin Yiren approached with an elegant gait, her voice soft and melodious as she gently remarked, "Wendong, this plaque is truly a masterpiece."

Xu Wendong casually waved a dismissive hand. "Is it merely a masterpiece?"
