Chen Fengyuan said, "Everyone has their own obsession. There are things a man can do and cannot do. Since Young Master Yunxiao has made up his mind, we will not stop him. Although the Saber Sect cannot fight against Scarlet Moon City, if Young Master Yunxiao has a request, we will definitely do our best. "
He had already spoken very seriously and expressed his support for Li Yunxiao. As one of the seven super forces, these words might offend Scarlet Moon City, but he still said it. It was enough to show his determination to rope in Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao had a thought and said, "Since Mister Fengyuan has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony. It just so happens that I have something to trouble the Saber Sect with."
Everyone's faces darkened. This Li Yunxiao was really not polite. He had just finished speaking and now he was already making a request. Everyone had the same thought at this moment. In the future, when they spoke to him, they must not be polite.
Chen Fengyuan also raised his brows slightly and said without changing his expression, "What is it?"
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said, "I need a supplementary profound artifact called the spiritual compass. I wonder if the Saber Sect has it?"
"Spiritual compass?"
Chen Fengyuan thought for a moment and said, "This item is not particularly precious, but it is indeed good to have it. It is usually used to find ore sources, and most of them are not high grade. I wonder what grade spiritual compass does Young Master Yunxiao need?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Rank 9."
"Rank 9?!"
Chen Fengyuan's pupils shrank and he immediately shook his head and said, "Rank 9 spiritual compass is most likely used to find heavenly treasures and top-grade spirit ores. As far as I know, the Saber Sect does not have such an item."
Li Yunxiao's eyes revealed disappointment.
Suddenly, a voice said, "Rank 9 spiritual compass? What a coincidence! "
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was Jiang Xiuzhen. With a fawning look, he squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "In New Yan City's Myriad Treasure Tower's auction this time, there is an item that is a Rank 9 spiritual compass."
Jiang Xiuzhen looked at Li Yunxiao's confused expression, as if he had never heard of New Yan City before. He hastily explained, "New Yan City is a huge city developed by the merchant union. As the new merchant union city, the auction will be held in seven days. After the auction, there's still more than a month before the wedding in Red Moon City. That's more than enough time for Young Master Yunxiao to prepare. "
Li Yunxiao said happily, "That's great. I'll head to New Yan City right away."
Jiang Xiuzhen hurriedly said, "How about I accompany Young Master Yunxiao? Something happened in Seawood Town, and I'm on my way back to New Yan City to report the situation. "
Li Yunxiao said, "No need, I'm used to being alone."
Jiang Xiuzhen took out a golden token and handed it over with both hands. He said respectfully, "Since that's the case, Young Master Yunxiao can take this token from the Myriad Treasure Tower. You will be able to move freely in the city."
Li Yunxiao received it and said, "In that case, many thanks."
At this moment, a servant suddenly rushed in and whispered a few words in Mu Youyun's ear.
Mu Youyun was stunned at first. Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Dingtian City's City Lord has come to visit. He should have seen the Saber Sword Sect's warship enter the city with me, so he personally came to ask for information. "
Mu Youyun revealed a cold expression. The position of City Lord was about to be his, so he did not care about this City Lord anymore. He turned to look at Chen Fengyuan, seeking his opinion.
Chen Fengyuan said, "Let's talk about such a small matter later. Let him wait."
Mu Youyun immediately gave the order. With Chen Fengyuan's status, it was normal for the City Lord to wait.
Li Yunxiao took his leave and said, "Everyone, go ahead. If you have time in the future, come to the Saber Sword Sect to gather again."
"Take care, Young Master Yunxiao."
Everyone stood up to send him off with a reluctant and affectionate look on their faces.
Li Yunxiao smiled indifferently. His body gradually faded and finally disappeared from the hall.
The moment he left the Divine Wood Family, he turned into a bolt of lightning and headed towards the teleportation formation.
There was indeed a luxurious chariot parked in front of the Divine Wood Family's gate. An old man stood in front of the gate with a worried expression. He should be the bitter City Lord.
However, all of this had nothing to do with him. The most important thing now was to go to New Yan City and click on the spiritual compass.
Half a day later, Li Yunxiao appeared in a bustling city.
He was secretly shocked. The abundance of Spiritual Qi in this city was not inferior to that of the seven super factions. Why had he never heard of it before? It had to be known that the northern region was full of heroes. The slightly better territory was already filled to the brim.
"Sir, you must be new here. Do you want to buy some jade slips?"
A plainly dressed youth carrying a basket asked as he chased after Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao glanced at the youth. He looked ordinary and had average talent. He was only a Martial Warrior. "What jade slips?"
The youth lifted the silk cloth covering the basket. There were layers of green jade slips neatly arranged inside. "Some information regarding New Yan City, such as a map, the branches of the merchants, history of development, and future plans. You should know that although New Yan City is a new city, it is changing with each passing day. These jade slips contain the latest news, and they will be very helpful to the lords who come to the city for business. They are definitely worth the price. "
"How much is one?"
"A hundred mid-grade Primal Stones."
The price was not cheap. However, the creation of the jade slips could only be completed by a Refinement Master. Adding in the information and organization, it was worth the price.
Li Yunxiao immediately bought one and placed it between his eyebrows to read it carefully.
New Yan City was located in the eastern part of the northern region. It was originally a small isolated city with average Spirit Qi. Furthermore, it only had a mid-range Teleportation Formation.
After it was chosen as a commercial city by the merchant union, they started to expand. They sent over a large amount of manpower, resources, and financial resources. In just a few years, it had grown a hundred times in size, becoming one of the largest cities in the northern region.
In order to make the city rich in Spirit Qi, the merchant union gathered over ten thousand Ore Masters to search for ore veins near the city.
Within a radius of five hundred miles, they found a total of three supreme-grade ore veins, nineteen mid-grade ore veins, and a hundred and twenty substandard ore veins. They also mobilized thousands of formation masters to directly change the direction of the earth veins, connecting all the ore veins and sending them into the city continuously.
When Li Yunxiao saw this, he could not help but reveal a shocked expression.
He naturally understood how much resources were needed to change the direction of such a large area of Spirit Vein Veins. In the entire world, only the merchant union would be able to do so.
There were too many ore veins outside the city. When they had chosen this place as a commercial city, it was most likely because they had discovered a large number of ore veins before choosing this location. It was no wonder that the city's Spirit Qi was so rich that it wasn't any lower than that of the seven superpowers.
According to the jade slip's description, New Yan City had been expanded a hundred times and its Spirit Qi had increased by ten times. This was just the first step.
Next, they would expand the city's surface area by more than double. They would build a teleportation channel that could traverse the world. It would reach any city in the Heavenly Martial Arts Realm, or even the overseas islands. It would become the world's number one teleportation center.
Not only that, but they would also open a holy land for cultivation outside the city. They would guide more Spirit Veins here for the world's martial artists to use.
Of course, they would have to pay to use them.
It was estimated that these two businesses would become New Yan City's important sources of income in the future, and they would all be used to maintain and expand the city.
New Yan City's goal was to become the world's number one city.
Li Yunxiao couldn't help but be shocked by this plan. If this was really the case, New Yan City wouldn't just become the world's number one city, it would also become the eighth superpower that could rival the seven superpowers.
The reason why the Merchant Alliance couldn't rival the seven superpowers was because it was just an alliance of many organizations. It didn't have a single strong leader.
It didn't even have the most basic foundation. The Seven Great Merchant Alliances' headquarters were all in different places, and they couldn't be mobilized apart from the annual Merchant Alliance Conference.
Moreover, the Merchant Alliance still had a major shortcoming, which was that it didn't have any super experts overseeing it. The seven superpowers all had several Nine Stars apex Emperor Wu experts, but the Merchant Alliance had never heard of anyone with such a cultivation.
According to the information recorded in the jade slip, the Seven Great Merchant Alliances would move their headquarters to New Yan City one by one. This way, they would have the same situation as the Red Moon City, and they would have an even greater advantage than the Red Moon City.
Even though they couldn't solve the shortcoming of the super experts in a short time, as New Yan City developed, they would surely give birth to some apex existences.
It was all because they were rich!
There was no organization in the world that was richer than the Merchant Alliance!
"The Merchant Alliance's ambition isn't small, it's obvious."
Li Yunxiao's eyes flickered. None of these crafty businessmen were simple.
Even he couldn't see through Wan Qianyi, the head of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pagoda.
Tang Qing of the Four Extremes Sect was the overlord of the world, dominating the East Region.
Ding Shan of the Heaven Essence Chamber of Commerce wanted to keep a low profile and fade from the public's sight. Unexpectedly, he was also an ambitious and scheming person.
Although he didn't have much contact with the presidents of the other chambers of commerce, to be able to interact with these crafty old foxes and be known as the Seven Associations of the Merchant Alliance, they shouldn't be simple.
Li Yunxiao noticed the information in the jade slip. The Four Extremes Sect of the Seven Associations of the Merchant Alliance was no longer in the list. Instead, there was a chamber of commerce called the Star Moon Temple. He didn't know where it came from.
In order to attract the heroes of the world and maintain the flow of people in New Yan City, the Seven Associations of the Merchant Alliance would hold a super auction every year. The seven chambers of commerce would take turns to be the host by drawing lots. This year, it was the Ten Thousand Treasure Pagoda's turn.
Li Yunxiao removed the jade slip from his forehead. He saw that the youth hadn't gone far and was looking at him with a smile.
Li Yunxiao said, "Didn't they say that the latest information would be recorded? Why isn't there any information about the auction items of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pagoda this year? "
"Yes, yes!"
The youth said hurriedly. He took out a slightly smaller jade slip from his basket and handed it over with a smile. "One hundred mid-grade primordial stones."
Li Yunxiao's face darkened. He shouted, "Is your organization crazy from poverty? You can even sell this separately? "
