Long Wushang's sudden proposal surprised Shiuse Qiangwei and the others. They hadn't thought that Long Wushang would take the initiative to seek a partnership with them.
Long Wushang was a very prideful man. Even after Ling Yi's performance in the Azure Chamber of Commerce's family competition, he had only treated them as equals.
After all, the Azure Chamber of Commerce was a superpower that rivaled Super Guilds. Although the Azure Chamber of Commerce couldn't compare to Zero Wing and Violet Sword when it came to nurturing new members, the Azure Chamber of Commerce's sphere of influence, resources, and talent far surpassed Zero Wing's.
The Azure Chamber of Commerce's family competition only pitted the younger generations of the Five Great Families against each other. The majority of the Guild's members weren't from any of the Five Great Families, and Azure had far more talented newcomers than the Five Great Families. In fact, some of these newcomers were even stronger than Yan Xiaoqian. Only, they couldn't participate in Azure's family competition.
"Since the Azure Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate with us, I don't mind selling a few slots, but how many do you want, Elder Long?" Shifeng wasn't particularly surprised by Long Wushang's offer. After all, Shiuse Qiangwei and the others had no idea how much importance the various superpowers placed on nurturing their younger generations.
Young people were the future!
This was a large part of the reason why a veteran Guild like the Azure Chamber of Commerce had been able to reach its current height. This was also why first-rate Guilds had been stuck at the level of first-rate Guilds for so long. Unless a heaven-defying genius appeared in a first-rate Guild, it would remain a first-rate Guild forever. It would never be able to last as long as the Azure Chamber of Commerce.
Since Long Wushang had stated that he could help players improve during the trial, no matter how arrogant Long Wushang was and how much he looked down on Ling Yi, he instinctively wanted to cooperate with the Swordsman.
This was also why he had spoken to Shiuse Qiangwei without hesitation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed such a thing to Long Wushang.
Ling Yi's partnership with the Azure Chamber of Commerce was imperative. Ling Yi didn't have any roots on the western continent, aside from the Starlight Fortress. If he wanted to help Ling Yi establish a foothold on the western continent, he'd need a local superpower's cooperation.
Although Divine Tribe was a good partner, the Guild wasn't a match for Azure in terms of business. Divine Tribe wouldn't be of much help when it came to trade between the two continents. In addition, Silent Wonder stood between Ling Yi and the Azure Chamber of Commerce. Zero Wing's cooperation with the Azure Chamber of Commerce would be much safer.
"It would be best if we could have 30 or 40 slots," Wushang said hesitantly as he looked at Shifeng. The Azure Chamber of Azure's Guild's had a large empire's's.

"Forty?" After Of's three's. of's, ''s.'t' ''s's of''s' ''s's
"Can I?" Long Wushang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He couldn't help but say, "If that's the case, President Hei Yan, please feel free to state your conditions. Let alone three, even four or five wouldn't be a problem."
Not only would forty spots be enough for the five great clans, but they would also allow the geniuses from other clans to join them. When the time came, the neutral Elders and Grand Elders would stand on the Pang family's side.
"The first condition is that I need the Azure Chamber of Commerce's help. In three days, I'd like to invite some of Ling Yi's eastern continent's players over. We'll need roughly 100 players," Shifeng said.
"That's not a problem. Three days will be enough. When the time comes, we'll just have to gather them at the Ten Saints Empire," Long Wushang replied with a nod.
Traveling between the two main continents might be difficult for other superpowers, but it wasn't difficult for the Azure Chamber of Commerce. Even transporting 200 players wouldn't be a problem, not to mention 100. Of course, the Azure Chamber of Commerce only had to spend some Magic Crystals.
"The second condition is that Ling Yi wants to own a Medium Shipyard and a golden plot of Land in the Silvermoon Empire's Tidal City," Shifeng said.
In the future, trade between the two continents would mainly rely on sea transportation, and Tidal City was the Silvermoon Empire's number one port city. So long as Ling Yi established a foothold in Tidal City, he'd be able to do business on both continents easily.
"That won't be a problem. I'll notify Big Brother once I'm done. You just need to go there and complete the procedures," Long Wushang said.
Ling Yi didn't have much of a foothold on the western continent. If he wanted to secure the western continent's resources, he'd have to establish a foothold in a port city. That way, Ling Yi would have a massive advantage when traveling between the two continents in the future. After all, teleportation arrays could only transport a limited number of items.
During the early stages of the game, the rarer an item was, the more valuable it would be. However, as more powers established trade between the two main continents, prices would plummet. Hence, establishing a port city was a must.
"The third condition is also the most important. I want Azure's complete Void Realm Legacy data," Shifeng said seriously as he looked at Long Wushang.
Currently, Ling Yi didn't have a complete Void Realm Legacy. Because of this, the Ling YI Society couldn't compare to the various superpowers when it came to nurturing new members. If they had a complete Void Realm Legacy, the Ling YI Society would reach a whole new level and become a true superpower.
"This … condition …" Long Wushang hesitated. "A complete Void Realm Legacy is a core secret of the various large Guilds. It's also something that the various large Guilds have accumulated over decades. I'm afraid I don't have the authority to make this decision."
Although the 40 slots were precious, they were only an opportunity to improve themselves. Even the Guild's ordinary Elders wouldn't agree to exchange the Legacy data that the Guild relied on for survival, let alone Long Wushang.
"I know that this condition is a little high, but I'm afraid that this is a one-off opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, we'll never get another. After all, this is a lost Legacy. It must contain the secret to reaching Tier 4," Shifeng said calmly. Unhurriedly, he continued, "If this still isn't enough, I can make an agreement with you."
"What agreement?" Long Wushang asked curiously.
A complete Void Realm Legacy was the core of the various large Guilds. If they gave it to another Guild, they'd weaken the Guild's foundation. This wasn't something that could be resolved with a simple agreement.
"I can help Azure nurture three experts capable of breaking through the 100% threshold of their Mana Bodies. Of course, these three experts must have immense Potential. Ordinary experts are not capable of such a feat. What do you think?" Shifeng said, smiling.
"Are you talking about people like Violet Cloud? The kind that can challenge opponents of a higher tier?"
Long Wushang was surprised by Shifeng's words. For a moment, he wondered if the Ling Yi before him was really the Ling Yi he knew.
Or was Shifeng just boasting?
Violet Cloud's valiance could be said to be unforgettable for anyone who had watched that match.
She was too strong!
This had nothing to do with techniques or standards. This was purely Strength. Moreover, Violet Cloud's Attributes were the same. If her Attributes were slightly higher, the destructive power she could unleash would be unimaginable.
Yet, Ling Yi was actually capable of nurturing such a monster …
"That's right." Shifeng nodded, smiling. "To prove my words, I can even help the three of them unlock their Mana Bodies' full potential within a day. May I know if Elder Pang is willing to make such an agreement with me?"
"Wait a moment. Your offer is simply too shocking. I need to discuss it with the Elders immediately," Long Wushang said, unable to help himself.
He could've ignored Shifeng's offer before, but not now.
If the Guild really had three such monsters, the Azure Chamber of Commerce's future wouldn't have to worry.
"That won't be a problem." Shifeng wasn't in a hurry. "Feel free to discuss the matter. However, I hope to have an answer within two days."
"President Hei Yan, please wait a moment. I'll report this matter to my three brothers and have them make a decision as soon as possible," Long Wushang said, nodding. He then reported the matter to his superiors. …
Meanwhile, in Azure's Residence, Long Xianglong was stunned when he received the news.
"What did you say? Zero Wing is capable of nurturing three monsters like Violet Cloud on our behalf? How is that possible? "
