Liu Qingrui sat on his seat and looked at the person standing in front of him. This person looked haggard, but his expression was calm. Liu Qingrui said, "Ning Xuesong, I heard that you told them that you're ready to surrender. Is that true?"
Ning Xuesong looked at Liu Qingrui, then he nodded and said, "Yes, Sect Master. I'm ready to surrender. Although the Six Unity Gang's Sect Master has done me a great favor, I can't just wait for my death for him. If Sect Master had killed me before, then I wouldn't regret it. But now, I can't just keep waiting. I'm also a cultivator. I can't just live like an ordinary person, it's too uncomfortable."
Liu Qingrui looked at Ning Xuesong and nodded, "Good, very good. Ning Xuesong, I really don't want to kill you. Cultivators like you are really rare. Ordinary cultivators would surrender when they find that they can't defeat their opponents. This is the most correct decision for a cultivator. However, no one would be like you and want to repay with their lives. This is what I admire the most about you. If you really want to surrender to us, we will be very happy. I hope that you can keep your word and properly cultivate in the future so that you can work for the Scouring Sea Sect. If you want to leave the Scouring Sea Sect after I lift your seal, then I will definitely kill you the next time I see you." After saying that, Liu Qingrui waved his hand and undid the seal on Ning Xuesong's body.
Ning Xuesong didn't think that Liu Qingrui would let him go so easily. Ning Xuesong looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Sect Master, don't you need to feed me a poison pill?"
Liu Qingrui replied, "I need it for others, but not for you. You can leave."
Ning Xuesong looked deeply at Liu Qingrui, then he cupped his fist and left. After Ning Xuesong left, Liu Qingrui let out a long breath. To be honest, he didn't think that Ning Xuesong would surrender so quickly. He knew that Ning Xuesong wasn't lying. Ning Xuesong really wanted to die before. A person who wanted to die wouldn't easily surrender.
Now that Ning Xuesong had surrendered, their strength had increased. As for whether Ning Xuesong would betray them or not, Liu Qingrui wasn't worried. If Ning Xuesong really did betray him, then when the Sea Exploring Sect's army enters the spiritual realm, Ning Xuesong would surely die. Because of this, Liu Qingrui wasn't worried at all.
At this time, Liu Qingrui was worried about another matter, which was the underground trading ground of Three-Mountain City. It has been five days since he went to see Cui Yinyu, but there was still no news from Cui Yinyu. Although the Five Great Clans' share of resources was given to them, Liu Qingrui didn't want it. What Liu Qingrui wanted was the right to operate the underground trading ground. With this right, the chamber of commerce would be able to trust him. Then he would be able to join the chamber of commerce, which was what he needed.
But now, five days had passed and there was still no news from Cui Yinyu. This made Liu Qingrui anxious. He didn't know what the chamber of commerce wanted to do. Did they trust him or not?
At this time, a voice was heard, "Reporting to the Gang Lord, Mister Cui Yinyu of the chamber of commerce is asking for you."
When Liu Qingrui heard this, he immediately stood up and went outside. Before long, he saw a disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect standing outside. Liu Qingrui asked, "Where is he?"
The disciple immediately replied, "He's waiting in front of the door. I wanted to invite him in, but he didn't attack. He said that he's waiting for you."
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Alright, tell the other elders that I'm going to the chamber of commerce. Tell them not to worry." Then Liu Qingrui's figure moved and flew out of the Sea Exploring Sect.
At this time, the Sea Exploring Sect had already obtained the territory that Liu Qingrui wanted. Their people had already moved there. But because the territory was very big, there weren't a lot of people in the sect. Therefore, it was somewhat empty.
Before long, Liu Qingrui arrived at the entrance of the Sea Exploring Sect. There was a decorated archway here with the words' Sea Exploring Sect 'written on it. Originally, Liu Qingrui didn't want to erect this archway. However, the others said that this was the face of the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, Liu Qingrui agreed.
At this time, a person was standing in front of the archway. This person was dressed like a servant. Liu Qingrui immediately landed in front of him and said, "Did Mister Cui send you to find me?"
The servant quickly gave Liu Qingrui a salute and said, "Is Gang Lord Liu Qingrui?"
Liu Qingrui nodded. The servant immediately replied, "Mister Cui sent this servant to invite Gang Lord Liu. Gang Lord Liu, please." Liu Qingrui nodded and then followed the servant towards the chamber of commerce.
In the same room, Liu Qingrui saw Cui Yinyu waiting for him. Cui Yinyu looked at Liu Qingrui and smiled faintly, "Gang Lord Liu, are you anxious?"
Liu Qingrui gave Cui Yinyu a salute and said, "Yes, I'm very anxious. You should know how important this opportunity is for the Sea Exploring Sect."
Cui Yinyu nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is very important for the Sea Exploring Sect. However, Gang Lord Liu can rest assured. After many discussions with the chamber of commerce and approval from the higher-ups, they finally decided to hand over the operation of the underground trading ground to the Sea Exploring Sect. At the same time, Gang Lord Liu will also officially join the chamber of commerce as an external member. As for whether you can truly join the chamber of commerce, that will depend on your performance in the future."
When Liu Qingrui heard Cui Yinyu, his expression turned happy as he said, "Many thanks, Mister Cui. This Liu is very grateful for Mister Cui's kindness. Mister Cui, this was found by one of the gang's members when they went out for an adventure. I'll give it to Mister Cui." Then Liu Qingrui took out a jade box and handed it over to Cui Yinyu.
Cui Yinyu received the jade box that Liu Qingrui gave him. When he looked inside, he saw an herb called Six-leaved Flame. This herb was red in color and would only grow one leaf every hundred years. It would only grow six leaves in its lifetime. The leaves were red like fire, making it a very rare herb.
Cui Yinyu cultivated fire-attributed spiritual qi, so this herb was very useful to him. Therefore, when he saw this herb, Cui Yinyu's eyes couldn't help but light up. He didn't think that Liu Qingrui would give him this herb.
Cui Yinyu received the herb, then he cupped his fist towards Liu Qingrui and said, "I'll remember Gang Lord Liu's kindness. I won't say too much. I can only tell Gang Lord Liu that the chamber of commerce attaches great importance to your ability to use poison. I hope that Gang Lord Liu can surprise the chamber of commerce next time."
When Liu Qingrui heard Cui Yinyu, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he nodded and said, "Many thanks, Mister Cui Yinyu. I'll be taking my leave now."
Cui Yinyu nodded. Then Liu Qingrui cupped his fist and turned around to leave. After coming out of the chamber of commerce, Liu Qingrui walked towards the direction of the Sea Exploration Sect while thinking about Cui Yinyu's words. Cui Yinyu's words made it very clear to Liu Qingrui that the Gold Spirit Trading Company was interested in his ability to use poison. Moreover, there would be a test for him in the future. If he can do well, then the company would put him in an important position. If he can't, then he would only be an outer member.
To be honest, Liu Qingrui wasn't worried about using poison. He studied the Poison Dragon Sect's Cultivation Methods. Not only could he use poison and concoct poisons, but as his strength increases, he could also concoct more powerful poisons. This was his trump card.
As for managing the underground trading hall, Liu Qingrui wasn't worried at all. Although the underground trading hall was managed by him, they were only responsible for some security. Those who wanted to enter the underground trading hall all knew the rules of the company. Therefore, they didn't need to do anything, they just needed to do their job well. If something were to happen in the underground trading hall, then they wouldn't be able to handle it. When the time comes, the people of the company would come forward to deal with it.
After returning to the Sea Exploration Sect, Liu Qingrui called everyone to the conference room. Then he looked at everyone and said, "A few days ago, I told everyone that the underground trading hall would need us to manage it. Today, Mister Cui has officially informed us that the underground trading hall will be managed by us. Let's discuss this matter."
Upon hearing Liu Qingrui, everyone was very happy. They understood what this meant. This meant that the chamber of commerce had officially recognized their position. This was very important.
Jiao Jinfeng pondered for a moment before he said, "Leader, how do you think we should manage the underground trading hall? Do we need to make some changes? "
Liu Qingrui shook his head and said, "You mustn't. You mustn't make any changes to the underground trading hall. The underground trading hall has existed for many years. Whether it's buyers or sellers, they're already used to it. They simply don't want to change it. Therefore, you mustn't make any changes. Otherwise, it might cause them to resent you. Do you understand?"
Do you understand? "Everyone nodded. Then Liu Qingrui continued," The underground trading hall might sound nice, but in fact, we're just there to look after it. Moreover, we can only maintain it. We can't enter the core of the business. Therefore, as long as we do our job well, we'll be able to achieve great success. Don't think about making any achievements. "
Everyone nodded. All of them had been to the underground trading hall before. When they went there, they noticed that the Five Great Clans were only doing maintenance work. To put it bluntly, they were just doing odd jobs in the underground trading hall. They couldn't even be considered as looking after the place. Because of this, they wanted to make some changes. But now, it seems like it was impossible. The chamber of commerce wouldn't allow them to make any changes.
Liu Qingrui continued, "The underground trading hall can bring us a lot of income. Therefore, we must send some people there. We can't make any mistakes. This way, the chamber of commerce will pay attention to us. At the same time, we need to pay special attention to the gangs in Tri-Mountain City. We can't let anyone threaten our position. Understood?"
"Yes, Leader. We understand!"
