Cultivate steadily, the whole world of cultivating immortals is my home

Chapter 164 Qianqiu Zhenren
Topaz Mining City.

Shen Lian changed his appearance and entered the mining city. The layout of this mining city was similar to that of Red Crystal Mining City. The entrances to the mines were in the center of the city.

It's just that the center of the Red Crystal Mining City is a huge Red Mountain, and the center of the Topaz Mining City is a huge earth-yellow palace.

The introduction has been released, it depends on whether the monks from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce will come.

Shen Lian carefully studied the operation mode of the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce and found that there were experts behind this chamber of commerce. He gained the favor of many real people by giving them storage rings.

Even some fake elixirs and even the next-level golden elixir level forces are proud to obtain the Qianqiu storage ring.

As for whether Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has a secret method to deduce the secret of heaven or something, the possibility is not more than [-]%.

Even if monks are sent here, at most they will be led by fake elixir monks. The real elixir will not do such trivial investigation tasks.

Shen Lian even felt that before he figured out the truth of the matter, the person who came might be a foundation-building monk.

"If things really go wrong here, then just run away to other mining towns."

Shen Lian murmured to himself as he looked at the monks coming and going in the topaz mining city.

After getting to know the Topaz Mining City, he didn't even rent a place in the city, but left the city to live temporarily in a mixed residence outside the city, and gave himself the identity of a first-level weapon refiner.

……

In the South China Sea, Qianqiu Mountain is in charge.

The mountains here are verdant, with strange peaks standing tall, stretching for hundreds of miles. The mountains are surrounded by auras of light and mist.

Especially the main peak surrounded by mountains is like a sharp sword standing on the ground, and the surrounding rock walls are smooth and straight.

On the top of the mountain, shrouded in brilliant five-color divine light, you can see a huge palace complex floating in the sea of ​​clouds from a distance.

This is the core of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

Only the president, deputy president, core stewards and others of the Chamber of Commerce can stay in the palace permanently.

Below the main peak and among the other surrounding peaks, there are palaces of different sizes, with many monks coming and going inside.

On this day, a foundation-building monk flew out of the palace complex with the 'Sifang' plaque on the east side of the main peak and headed towards the main peak.

After a while, the monk entered a side hall in the core palace complex with familiarity.

"Vice President Yang, there is a report from outside spies about the cave sky stone."

In the side hall, there is a rickety figure with gray hair sitting cross-legged.

"I know, let's inform the local elders and still handle it."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the foundation-building monk bowed outside the hall and slowly retreated.

To handle it as usual is to deal with this matter in the same way as in the past.

The Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has been established for 500 years. Compared with other sects in the South China Sea, it can be said to be very young.

But in just one thousand and five hundred years, the Chamber of Commerce spread all over the South China Sea, and there were branches in other nearby areas.

Looking at the entire South China Sea, among the large and small chambers of commerce, Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce does not admit that it is the first chamber of commerce, but Qianqiu says that it is the second, and no chamber of commerce dares to say that it is the first.

Such development is possible thanks to Lu Mengqiu, the fifth generation leader of the Chamber of Commerce.

He was also the head of the Lu family, the head of the four golden elixir families of the Chamber of Commerce. He established the system of the Chamber of Commerce and suppressed the four major families behind the Chamber of Commerce who overstepped their authority and interfered with the Chamber of Commerce.

Returning to his work place, the foundation-building monk quickly began to verify the location where the news was sent.

Tianzhu Mountain Mining Area, between topaz and red crystal mining towns.

As the main ore-producing area in the southern continent, and also the main ore material-producing area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce, the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has set up a branch in the northern area, with a vice-president and three elders in charge.

In the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, there are only four vice-presidents, each of whom is a real Jindan cultivator, while the elders are all fake cultivators.

In order to ensure the stability of the ore-producing areas, the Chamber of Commerce has the largest presence in the mining areas, accounting for a quarter of the total number of real people in the Chamber of Commerce.

As the vice-chairman of the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce in the main mining city of Yunshang, Zhou Chenghui quickly received the news from the chief helm.

Of course, the news was not passed directly to Zhou Chenghui. As the Jindan elder, he did not have time to deal with trivial matters. Instead, it was handed over to the fake Dan elder.

In the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce, in a pavilion, an old man squinted his eyes, and beside him was a graceful maid playing the piano.

A ray of rainbow light came rushing from outside, and after falling into the courtyard, the figure stopped. As the light faded, a middle-aged male monk who was full of energy was revealed.

"Elder Geng, why are you calling me back?"

The middle-aged monk first bowed slightly outside the pavilion to signal, then walked into the pavilion and took a seat.

Elder Geng also opened his eyes, "Nothing else, the spies below in Huangyu Mining City sent back news that two foundation-building casual cultivators suspected of discovering the Dongtian Stone Mine a few days ago, and a fire broke out. , one of them blew himself up in his dantian and died, and the whereabouts of the remaining one are unknown."

As he spoke, Elder Geng handed a jade slip to the middle-aged monk.

"The detailed information is all here, Elder Tian, ​​you can read it yourself."

Elder Geng narrowed his eyes again and shook his head to follow the sound of the piano.

He was the first to know about the news in the jade slips, even earlier than the General Director of the Chamber of Commerce. He asked his monks to report it to the General Director of the Chamber of Commerce.

Now the Chamber of Commerce has given the order back, and as expected, let them handle it as usual.

Not only wasting time by going back and forth, it seemed very cumbersome, like taking off your pants and farting.

But this is a rule set by Master Qianqiu. All anecdotes and all kinds of news collected outside must be reported to the main helm as soon as possible, and records must be left at the main helm. Each branch helm must not violate it.

When Elder Tian finished reading, Elder Geng opened his eyes again.

"Elder Liu is busy with other things. I need to be here in the main mining city to handle the ore transaction. I need to go to the Topaz Mining City to find out whether this is true or not. I have to go there in person."

Elder Tian put the jade slip away, nodded and said nothing more.

Regarding the collection of Dongtian Stones, the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has a special search system within it. Of course, this system is also promoted by the leader Qianqiu Zhenren himself.

Why can it be implemented in the Chamber of Commerce? Master Qianqiu is the Golden Elixir of Perfection, and Master Erqianqiu really dares to kill people.

It can be said that Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce can develop so quickly because of Qianqiu's courage and determination, as well as clear rewards and punishments.

"I have ordered the spies of the Chamber of Commerce near Topaz Mining City to start investigating. When the time comes, Elder Tian will ask the people below about the specific matters."

"Okay, I will rush to the vicinity of Topaz Mining City. If there is a vein of cave stone, it will definitely be in the hands of our Chamber of Commerce."

Elder Geng nodded, and two jade boxes appeared in his hands.

"I have just reported to Deputy Guild Master Zhou, please bring the two spiritual objects taken out from the treasury. The two mining cities of Huangyu and Chijing are under the control of Yuhua and Chiyang sects respectively. These two Send them a spiritual object."

Elder Tian collected the spiritual objects with a wave of his hand. Building good relations with the local sects wherever he went was something the Chamber of Commerce has always done.

Over the years, the spiritual objects sent out by the Chamber of Commerce have long been worth astronomical prices.

However, it is precisely because of this that Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce can grow bigger and bigger.

It is a pity that the Chamber of Commerce does not have Yuanying, otherwise the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce will no longer be limited to the South China Sea, but will become a large chamber of commerce spanning the entire Tiannannan Continent.

Fortunately, there is no chance. The current leader Tao Lue is superior to others, and he has even reached the perfection of Golden Elixir, and is only one step away from Nascent Soul.

just short of...

Elder Tian felt something in his heart and looked up at the towering Yunshang Tower in the main mining city.

……

Topaz Mining City.

Shen Lian is swinging the hammer. As a low-level weapon refiner, swinging the hammer is a very practical method to assist in breaking out impurities in the ore when the fire is not enough.

For more than half a month, the news about the emergence of cave stones near the city has spread as expected in the mining city.

A cave sky stone the size of a grain of rice can be sold at a low price of [-] to [-] spiritual stones.

What's more, there are rumors that a cave stone mine has been discovered.

Unlike other mineral veins, the Dongtian Stone mine is very small and is an associated mine of domestone.

Compared with cave sky stone, cloud crystal stone is much cheaper.

Moreover, the raw stones of cave sky stones are also quite small, and there are few big ones.News has spread even in the low-level monk area outside the city. You can imagine what the scene will be like among the foundation-building monks.

In addition, he also confirmed a piece of news.

In the mining area, there are spies from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce inside and outside each city, mainly to get real-time information about where high-level ores appear.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, one can imagine its attraction to high-grade ores.

……

"Roar!"

On this day, Shen Lian, who was blacksmithing, heard the roar of a dragon in his ears.

Looking up, I saw a cloud of fire rolling in the distance, heading towards the Topaz Mining City.

"Third-level bloodline fire dragon!"

A monk exclaimed, with envy in his eyes.

Even though most of the monks in the mining area have spirit beasts, the spirit beasts are comparable to each other.

The Fiery Dragon is a famous third-level bloodline, and there is still a chance to advance to the fourth level when reaching adulthood. It is not the descendant of third-level monsters, and promotion to the third level depends on the probability.

As long as there are no accidents with this thing, it will be promoted to the third level Demon King. It will be a hot commodity in the circle of Jindan Master.
Whenever someone discovers traces of the fire dragon, just revealing the location can sell it at a high price.

Dragon-type monsters are good at flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. They are the best flying spirit beasts and would not be replaced by a spirit ship.

Riding a dragon is more majestic.

"It's a real person from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce. I saw this blazing dragon in the main mining city."

"Which elder from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce is it? Hey... the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce is really here!"

……

Seeing the flying flaming dragon, everyone raised their heads to watch, and Shen Lian was not surprised.

He is not greedy, his little Sanqian is destined to be much more handsome than this dragon in the future.

This one is so ugly.

Just above the dragon's huge head, between the two slightly raised dragon horns, he saw a figure sitting cross-legged, with a strong aura of fire lingering around his body.

This man has a middle-aged face, and his brows exude calm dignity. He is obviously a long-term emperor and is in a position of giving orders.

"Elder Tian of the Qianqiu Merchant Association."

"I have a lot of control over the Cave Sky Stone."

Catching the discussion of some monks, Shen Lian rubbed the handle of the big hammer in his hand and said secretly.

A fake elixir really came, plus a second-level Dzogchen demon dragon.

Judging from the power of this monster dragon, its combat power is probably not weaker than the fake elixir.

Elder Tian piloted the raging fire dragon, which opened its teeth and claws, and landed outside the city gate. The fire dragon restrained its breath and turned into a foot-sized one. One person and one dragon headed towards the city.

"No, I need to prepare more."

Putting down the big hammer, Shen Lian headed towards the mountains and forests.

……

After Elder Tian entered the city, he headed directly towards the huge palace complex in the center of the city.

"The elders of the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce are here in person. They are really rare guests."

Outside the palace, the fake elixir elder of the Yuhua Sect had already appeared.

Elder Tian bowed his hands in salute, but he didn't seem to like to smile very much, and the smile looked a bit awkward on his face.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Elder Lu. I happened to be passing by the Yellow Jade Mining City, and I came here to pay my respects to Master Yuyang, the noble sect."

Huayang Sect has two Jindan Masters, Yuyang Master is the sect leader and the strongest person in the sect.

Elder Lu, who is called Elder Lu, has no idea what Elder Po Tian is thinking. Who doesn’t know that Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce will rush towards you crazily if it smells the scent of Dongtian Stone.

"My boss just came out of seclusion, please."

Although Elder Tian is only an elder of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, Huayang Sect still dare not neglect him.

Not to mention anything else, Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has a deputy leader in the main city of Yunshang, whose strength is comparable to that of their leader.

Besides, Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has many spiritual objects that Huayang Sect needs.

In the main hall, the fragrant mist derived from burning sandalwood fills the air, and the sound of silk and bamboo echoes in the beams.

Master Yuyang wore his hair in a high bun, with a thin face and blazing eyes.

"I've seen a real person."

Elder Tian bowed first when he entered.

Seeing this, Master Yuyang smiled.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Elder Tian. The last time we saw him was at the auction 20 years ago."

Before Master Yuyang could speak, a jade box appeared in Elder Tian's hand.

"The leader of my family also misses the scene of discussing Taoism with real people, so he specially asked me to pass this small gift to real people."

Master Yuyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at the jade box that contained the talisman. He also wanted to use the talisman to seal it to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking. It was at least a third-level spiritual object.

After taking the spiritual object and putting it aside, Master Yuyang stretched out his hand to guide Elder Tian to sit down.

With the spiritual creature as a buffer, the communication between the two parties became more harmonious.

"Elder Tian is here this time about the Cave Sky Stone."

"good."

Elder Tian nodded. The rumors outside were not groundless, and they were not a secret at the level of Jindan Master.

It cannot be said that [-]% of the Cave Sky Stones in the South China Sea are monopolized by the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, but more than [-]% is still enough.

Why do you want to monopolize the Dongtian Stone? This is also the intention of the guild leader.

At least since the plan to monopolize the Cave Sky Stone, many golden elixirs and fake elixirs in the South China Sea have received storage rings as gifts from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

"If Elder Tian needs help, just tell Elder Lu directly."

When Master Yuyang opened his mouth, he naturally had to be polite when accepting gifts from others.

"Then I'll trouble your sect."

Elder Tian bowed his hand. He also understood that these were polite words from Master Yuyang, and he did not intend to really trouble the Yuhua Sect.

After a visit, Elder Tian left the palace complex, and Elder Lu sent people out and came back.

"metropolitan."

"Everything that Elder Tian did while he was in the mining city must be carefully watched. If Yun Shangzong asks about it, we can have a response."

Master Yuyang sighed, he couldn't offend Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, let alone Yunshang Sect.

Elder Lu nodded and chuckled: "I heard that the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has many Dongtian stone mines in its hands, but they have not been developed.

If we were just refining storage rings, it wouldn't be a problem to use these cave stones for thousands of years. Now that we are still collecting cave stones, is it possible that we still sell 1-year-old storage rings?
Could it be that Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has some big opportunities? "

"Hey... this is not something we can know." Master Yuyang rubbed the storage ring in his hand. This one was also a gift from Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, take a good look at this Elder Tian. If it's a small matter, help him with it. If it's a big deal... I had an idea today and I want to go into retreat..."

"Follow the order of the suzerain."

Elder Lu showed an expression of understanding and slowly withdrew.
