However, the more powerful the trading firm's information network was, the more Liu Qingrui wanted to join them. The more he wanted the Sea Exploring Sect to attack the trading firm, the more they would be able to obtain information about the spiritual world.
Liu Qingrui's group quickly completed the mission. With Liu Qingrui's poison, those people didn't even have the strength to resist. They were directly taken down by Liu Qingrui's group. After receiving the mission token, Liu Qingrui's group directly went to the side of Kunwu River. Liu Qingrui directly opened up a cave on the side of the river. Then he led Firebird and the others into the cave.
After entering the cave, Liu Qingrui turned his head to Firebird and the others and said, "Firebird, take out your locust tree hearts and carve them into the shape of a person."
Firebird and the others nodded. Then they took out their locust tree hearts and began carving. They might not have learned carving, but for cultivators who knew how to draw talismans and arrange formations, carving wasn't difficult. Even if the carving wasn't very good, it wasn't a problem to carve out the shape of a person.
After they finished carving the tree hearts, Liu Qingrui took the wooden figurine and engraved a formation on it. Then he turned to the others and said, "Drip the blood on your fingers into the formation." The few of them immediately dripped the blood on their fingers directly into the magic array. Liu Qingrui, on the other hand, made a hand seal and chanted an incantation. At the same time, blood-red light shot out and hit the wooden puppet directly.
After the wooden puppets absorbed the blood-red light, the formation immediately lit up. Then the Firebird and the others' blood filled the entire formation. Moreover, the blood was still flowing, making the formation look very strange.
Then Liu Qingrui made a hand seal and loudly said, "With blood as the guide, locust tree as the medium, avatar, block disaster!" Along with his voice, the formation on the wooden golem shined brightly with red light. Then Firebird and the others saw black smoke coming out of their bodies and entering the wooden golem's body. Then the black smoke entered the wooden golem's formation. The red blood inside the formation slowly turned black, until it was as black as ink.
Only when the black gas stopped coming out of their bodies did Liu Qingrui let out a long breath. Then he looked at the group and said, "Alright, everyone, follow me." Then Liu Qingrui led the group out of the cave and flew towards the river. Liu Qingrui looked at the group and said, "Use fire to burn the wooden figurine and then throw the ashes into the river." The group immediately did as they were told.
After everything was done, Liu Qingrui let out a long breath and said, "Let's go back to the city." Then he flew towards Jade Vein City with Firebird and the others following closely behind.
After returning to the city, Liu Qingrui called the group to his room. Then he took out the jade plate that he used to test the curse on Firebird and the others. When the group saw the blood red light coming out of the jade plate, they couldn't help but smile.
Liu Qingrui received the jade plate and then said, "Alright, the curse on your bodies has been completely removed. You don't have to worry about anything in the future."
Firebird cupped her fist towards Liu Qingrui and said, "Many thanks, Viper. We will remember your kindness. In the future, we will follow your lead. Whatever you tell us to do, we will do it."
When Liu Qingrui heard Firebird, his eyes couldn't help but shine. He looked at Firebird and said, "Do you know what I want to do?" The reason why Liu Qingrui asked this was because he felt that Firebird's words had a hidden meaning.
Firebird looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "I don't know what you want to do, but I know that your goal isn't small. Your friendship with us can only be said to be mediocre, but you still worked hard to remove the curse on us. This isn't something that an ordinary person can do. I don't believe that you would be so kind as to not ask for anything in return. I feel that you aren't a kind person, so you must have something that you want us to help you with. Right? "
Liu Qingrui looked at Firebird, then he laughed and said, "Right, Firebird, you're really smart. I have something that I want you to help me with, but now isn't the time to talk about it. You will know what I want to do later. Let's pack up and prepare to head back."
Firebird looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Viper, you saved us, we are very grateful to you. But if you want us to do something that is too dangerous, something that will take our lives, we won't do it. Do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Qingrui understood what Firebird meant. Although he helped Firebird and the others to remove the curse, the curse on their bodies wouldn't take their lives. As long as they don't leave the trading firm and have their identity cards, then they would be fine. Moreover, Firebird was afraid that Liu Qingrui would use this matter to threaten them. If that happened, then they would be under his control. They wouldn't do such a thing, so Firebird said this.
Liu Qingrui smiled and said, "Firebird, you don't need to worry. I really don't want to do that. Moreover, what I want to do isn't dangerous. It might even be beneficial to you. Naturally, these benefits are for the future. Let's talk about what I want you to do first. I want you to help me collect some information. There shouldn't be any problems with this, right?"
When Firebird and the others heard Liu Qingrui, they stared for a moment. Then they immediately understood what Liu Qingrui meant. Firebird immediately said, "There's no problem. If that's the case, then there's no problem."
Liu Qingrui smiled and said, "Alright, that's good. Then let's go back. We've been out for some time now. I think it's time for us to return to the Merchant City."
Firebird and the others nodded. Then the group left the hotel together. Then they took the transmission formation and returned to the Merchant City.
After arriving at the Merchant City, Firebird and the others said that they would be going into seclusion for a while. Liu Qingrui knew that they were afraid, afraid that someone would deal with them. Therefore, he didn't say anything and just nodded in agreement.
Liu Qingrui stayed in the Merchant City for some time. After a month, Firebird and the others came to find Liu Qingrui and said that they were going to start doing missions. Naturally, Liu Qingrui followed them. At first, they were still a little worried, but after the next few missions, nothing happened. This made them feel relieved.
After another month of missions, because of Liu Qingrui, their missions were completed very smoothly. Therefore, they decided to rest for some time. However, Liu Qingrui gave them a task. He asked them to help him collect information about Association Master Bao, the more detailed the better.
Although Firebird and the others didn't know what Liu Qingrui wanted to do, they still agreed. In fact, Association Master Bao's matters weren't a secret in the Merchant City. Many people in the Merchant City knew about him. Because of this, it was very easy to collect information about him.
In just a few days, Firebird and the others were able to collect information about Association Master Bao. Firebird and the others directly gave the information to Liu Qingrui. Then they returned to their courtyards to cultivate.
Liu Qingrui held the jade slip in his hand and used his spiritual force to probe it. He saw that the jade slip contained very detailed information about Association Master Bao. Association Master Bao's original name was Bao Yan. He was originally a member of the Bao Family in the Merchant City. The Bao Family was a very powerful family in the Merchant City. It can be said that the Merchant City was controlled by several families like the Bao Family.
On the other hand, Bao Yan wasn't a direct descendant of the Bao Family. He was a disciple of the Bao Family's side branch. However, Bao Yan had shown great talent since he was young. Not only was his cultivation fast, but he was also very smart. He was also very good at doing business. When he was young, he helped the Bao Family manage the business. Moreover, he managed it very well.
He earned a lot of money every year. Originally, his future in the Bao Family was very bright. However, a rumor suddenly spread. It said that the Patriarch of the Bao Family was very fond of Bao Yan. He wanted Bao Yan to join the main branch and even wanted to adopt him. He even thought that he could compete for the position of Patriarch.
When people heard this news, they just smiled and didn't take it seriously. This was because everyone knew that even if Bao Yan was strong, it was impossible for him to become the Patriarch of the Bao Family. The Patriarch of the Bao Family wouldn't pass the position of Patriarch to someone from the side branch. Even if this person was very strong, and even if he really became the Patriarch's adopted son, it was impossible for him to become the Patriarch. This was because the Bao Family's main branch would slowly decline while the side branch would rise. This wasn't a good thing for the Bao Family.
However, even if others didn't believe it, the sons of the Patriarch believed it. They thought that Bao Yan was a threat to their position. Therefore, they began to make things difficult for Bao Yan. Bao Yan's days in the Bao Family were getting worse and worse.
Bao Yan also saw this point. He was also a person who didn't want to admit defeat. The more the sons of the Patriarch made things difficult for him, the more he wanted to go against them. At that time, Bao Yan was already very famous in the Merchant City. In addition to his outstanding ability, there were many people who were optimistic about him. These people also helped him. For a time, the battle between them caused chaos in the Bao Family.
Naturally, this matter was also known by the Patriarch of the Bao Family. The Patriarch couldn't help but be disappointed with Bao Yan. In the end, the Patriarch of the Bao Family was angry and directly sent Bao Yan out. He sent him to the Three Mountains to build a city and establish a new branch. This was how President Bao was kicked out of the Bao Family.
However, although President Bao was kicked out of the Bao Family, he still had a lot of influence in the family. In addition, he had been doing very well in the Three Mountains City. The Three Mountains City was established by him, the Chamber of Commerce was established by him. The underground trading hall of the Three Mountains City was developed by him. It can be said that the Chamber of Commerce of the Three Mountains City had become the leader of the emerging Chamber of Commerce. This was something that others didn't expect.
It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that the Bao Family had more people supporting him. Therefore, President Bao's influence in the Merchant City wasn't small. After all, he was a member of the Bao Family.
