Liu Qingrui stood at the edge of the city. What surprised Liu Qingrui was that the city didn't have any walls. The edge of the city was just a beach. Outside the city, there was an endless sea.
Now, Liu Qingrui finally understood that the city was really on the sea. Just like the legends in the spiritual world, the headquarters of the Gold Spirit Trading Company was on a huge island. There was no mistake, this was a huge island, and the city was on the island.
Liu Qingrui let out a long breath. He looked around before he turned around and slowly walked back. He didn't bring Liu Qingsong with him today because he wanted to see where he was. Now that he knew that he was on an island, he naturally had to go back.
Liu Qingrui knew that he couldn't leave the island. If he did, he would certainly be suspected. Therefore, he had no choice but to go back.
Fortunately, he had already installed a positioning formation. As long as he had the positioning formation, he would know where the island was. Then the Sea Exploring Sect's army would know where their first target was.
The reason why Liu Qingrui wanted to join the Gold Spirit Trading Company was to make it the first target of the Sea Exploring Sect when they entered the spiritual world. The reason why he wanted to make the Gold Spirit Trading Company the first target was because the Gold Spirit Trading Company knew too much.
Indeed, the reason why Liu Qingrui chose the Gold Spirit Company as his target was because they knew too much. In the spiritual realm, they knew the strength of the various sects, the number of experts, the techniques, and the formations of each sect. It can be said that the Gold Spirit Company knew almost all the secrets of the spiritual realm. As long as the Sea Exploring Sect gets their hands on these things, they would be able to understand the situation of the spiritual realm. This was much better than collecting information bit by bit.
Liu Qingrui was very clear that their status as outsiders meant that they had no status here. For people like them, it would be very difficult for them to gather information on their own. After all, they didn't have a real origin. No matter which sect they joined, it would be impossible for them to become the true core of that sect. If they didn't do well, it would be bad if they aroused suspicion.
However, the Gold Spirit Trading Company was different. The Gold Spirit Trading Company was very powerful, but they were also a trading company. Although they nurtured their own disciples, they also recruited disciples from the outside world. Therefore, joining the Gold Spirit Trading Company was a very good choice. Additionally, the Gold Spirit Company was engaged in the business of collecting and selling information. Therefore, Zhao Hai was very familiar with the situation of the various sects in the spiritual realm. As long as he joined the Gold Spirit Company and knew the location of the Gold Spirit Company's headquarters, then when the Sea Exploring Sect's army arrived and occupied the headquarters, they would have all the information on the spiritual realm. Moreover, the information would be very detailed. It would be much more cost-effective than collecting information bit by bit.
.... was the reason why he wanted to join the Gold Spirit Company...... was Liu wanted to become a disciple of the company.......... of the headquarters................... the Gold Spirit Company ''s headquarters...... headquarters. the headquarters headquarters headquarters headquarters headquarters headquarters....
. Liu Qingrui thought that he would have to wait for some time before finding out the location of the Gold Spirit Company's headquarters. He didn't expect that he would find out this quickly. This was a pleasant surprise.
Now that Liu Qingrui's task has been completed, he just needed to return to Three Mountain City and report his plan to the higher-ups.
At this time, Liu Qingrui felt very relaxed. When he returned to the guest house, he found Liu Qingsong cultivating in his room. He was very diligent. But thinking about it, it was inevitable for him to be nervous since he was going to participate in the competition.
When Liu Qingsong saw that Liu Qingrui had returned, he immediately gave a salute and said, "Master, you're back. The Association Master just came and asked you to go see him."
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go now. You should rest early. You just need to maintain your condition. There's no need to cultivate so hard right now. It wouldn't be good if it affects your condition tomorrow." Liu Qingsong nodded. Then Liu Qingrui turned around and left his room. Then he walked to the door of Association Master Bao's room.
He reached out and gently knocked on the door. Then he said, "Association Master, Liu Qingrui wishes to see you."
"Come in." Association Master Bao's voice came from the room. Liu Qingrui nodded and then pushed the door open.
Association Master Bao was sitting in the living room with a jade slip in his hand. When he saw Liu Qingrui come in, he put away the jade slip. Then he looked at Liu Qingrui and smiled, "Sit."
Liu Qingrui gave a salute to Association Master Bao before sitting down. Association Master Bao looked at Liu Qingrui and smiled, "I heard that you've been strolling around the city for the past few days?"
Liu Qingrui's face turned red. He looked at Association Master Bao with some embarrassment and said, "I've made a fool of myself. This is my first time coming to such a big city, so I wanted to see more. Today, I wanted to go outside the city and see what's outside. But I didn't expect that we would be on a big island."
President Bao nodded and smiled. "Yes, we're on the same island, so I don't blame you. You should take a look around the headquarters. The headquarters is the largest city in the spiritual world and also the most powerful city in the spiritual world. There are nearly three million disciples in the Divine Realm in the Qi Refining Realm. Including the elders in the city, there are at least five million of them. There are nearly 100 Supreme Elders in the city. Their strength is definitely the best in the spiritual world. However, our Gold Spirit Company has always focused on making money peacefully. We rarely fight with others, so we won't pose a threat to the sects in the spiritual world. But after you go out, don't talk about what happened here, understand?"
Do you understand? "Liu Qingrui immediately said," Yes, Association Master. Don't worry, I won't say anything. "
Association Master Bao nodded and said, "Tomorrow is the competition between the disciples. Our Gold Spirit Trading Company has 216 branches. This time, more than a thousand disciples have signed up for the competition. We'll use a single round of elimination. Liu Qingsong's strength isn't bad. If he can enter the top 100, I'll definitely reward him handsomely."
Liu Qingrui quickly said, "Association Master, don't worry. I'll make sure he works hard."
President Bao nodded and said in a low voice, "However, there are rules in this competition. All participating disciples are not allowed to use Dharma Artifacts or talismans that are above their level. In other words, he is a disciple who has reached the Qi Refinement State. He is not allowed to use Dharma Artifacts or talismans that are at the Qi Refinement State. This is to prevent other disciples from cheating. Do you understand?"
When Liu Qingrui heard Association Master Bao, he stared for a moment. Then he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I've already given Qingsong a few talismans. It seems like I can't let him use them."
Association Master Bao nodded and said, "That's right. You can't let him use them. Otherwise, he'll lose. However, I can see that Liu Qingsong's strength isn't weak. Even if he doesn't use those things, his results shouldn't be too bad."
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Yes, Qingsong's strength isn't bad. Especially since he's a Body Cultivator. I can say that in the Sea Exploring Gang, as long as they haven't reached the Divine Realm, they wouldn't be his opponent."
Association Master Bao nodded and said, "Although the Sea Exploring Gang's members are Rogue Cultivators, they don't have as many methods as the disciples of the trading company. However, they've grown through battles. Their fighting strength is also extraordinary. If what you said is true, then Qingsong will be able to get a good result."
Liu Qingrui replied, "He should be able to. Rest assured, Association Master."
Chapter Head Bao nodded, then he turned to Liu Qingrui and said, "The location of the competition has been decided, it will be on Ravengale Island. Ravengale Island is a very big island with two mountains and a plain. There are a lot of beasts there. In the past, a group of people called the Blackwind Bandits occupied the island, so they gave it that name. But later on, those people were exterminated, so there's no one left on the island. The competition will be held there for ten days. The more beasts you kill and the more tokens you get, the winner will be Ravengale Island. You can kill people on the island, so you need to be mentally prepared, understood?"
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Yes, Association Master. Rest assured, I'll do my best to get a good result."
The Association Master replied, "I don't need you to get a good result. As long as you're not in the last place, as long as you're alive, that's enough. The people I brought to the competition in the past have all died. This time, I hope that you'll be able to survive."
When Liu Qingrui heard the Association Master, his heart couldn't help but tremble. He quickly replied, "Yes, Association Master. I'll be careful. I'll be sure to survive until the end."
The Association Master nodded, then he said, "I know that you're very good at using poison. If you really go all out, then I'm afraid that not many people will be able to leave Ravengale Island alive. But you can't do that. If you kill too many people, then the other branches will know about it. When that time comes, not only will you be in trouble, our branch will also be in trouble. So this time, you have to prioritize your own life. In any case, as long as you're alive, you won't be in the last place. Do you understand?"
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Yes, Association Master. I understand."
Association Head Bao continued, "When you enter the island, you will have a formation on your body. This formation is a child formation. Outside, there's a mother formation. We will know your movements on the sea and your location, but we won't know what you did on the island. However, from your movements, we can infer that you killed those people. Therefore, you have to be careful. Once you die, the formation will lose its effect. The people outside will immediately know that you killed them, so you have to be careful."
Liu Qingrui nodded, he didn't think that Association Master Bao wouldn't tell him this. He was very surprised, but he immediately replied, "I understand. I'll be careful."
Association Master Bao nodded and said, "When you kill a beast, you need to take an item from the beast as proof. If you kill a cultivator, you just need to take their token. You don't even need to kill him. As long as you can take the token, you win. Do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Qingrui replied, "I understand. Association Master can rest assured."
Association Master Bao nodded, then he said, "Alright, go and rest. You still have to wait a few days for Pine Tree and the others to finish." Liu Qingrui nodded, then he stood up and gave a salute to Association Master Bao before leaving.
After returning to his room, Liu Qingrui thought about Association Master Bao's words and understood what he had to do. Association Master Bao wanted Liu Qingrui to get a good result, but he didn't want Liu Qingrui to kill too many people. If Liu Qingrui killed too many people, then he would offend the other branches. When that time comes, the newly established Three-Mountain City Chamber of Commerce would face a lot of pressure. Therefore, Association Master Bao hoped that Zhao Hai could control his strength.
This was very simple for Liu Qingrui. In any case, there was no restriction on strength in this competition. Naturally, nobody would test Liu Qingrui's strength. However, Liu Qingrui believed that his strength wouldn't be the weakest among the participants. Moreover, with his poison, he could achieve a good result without killing anyone. Therefore, this wasn't difficult for him.
At this time, Liu Qingrui was already treating himself as a member of the Chamber of Commerce. This was because he had already completed the task given to him by the Sect. What he needed to do now was to preserve his life before the Sea Exploring Sect arrived. This was the most important thing. If he wanted to preserve his life, then it would be very simple. He just needed to treat himself as a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Liu Qingrui understood Zhao Hai very well. He knew that Zhao Hai didn't want them to sacrifice themselves for this mission. If necessary, they don't need to inquire about any information. As long as they can survive, then it would be fine. Because of this, Liu Qingrui believed that Zhao Hai wouldn't blame him. Therefore, he needed to treat himself as a member of the Chamber of Commerce. This way, he wouldn't arouse any suspicion.
As for Liu Qingsong, it was even simpler. Liu Qingsong had a background that could be investigated. Moreover, Liu Qingrui didn't let him participate in the work of collecting information. He only let him cultivate. Since he wasn't strong, nobody would pay attention to him. Liu Qingrui wasn't worried about Liu Qingsong at all.
However, there was one thing that Liu Qingrui needed to pay attention to, and that was the Sea Exploring Sect. When he dealt with the Five Great Armies, he invited Zhao Hai's projection and used Zhao Hai's attack. This matter was known by a lot of people in the Sea Exploring Sect. If this matter was known by the Chamber of Commerce, then it would be troublesome. Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce didn't know about this matter. This made Liu Qingrui feel strange. However, Liu Qingrui still felt that he should pay attention to this matter. After returning, he should seriously control the Sea Exploring Sect.
