As expected of the headquarters of the World Chamber of Commerce. Even the gatekeepers were at least at the Tribulation Passing stage! Yue Qianchou was secretly awed. Guan Zhongkai cupped his hands in greeting and greeted, "Martial Uncle." Yu Lan followed suit and cupped her hands in greeting.
A man walked out from each of the two stone chambers and nodded at Yu Lan. His gaze fell on Yue Qianchou. Guan Zhongkai hurriedly introduced, "This is Niu Youde, Senior Niu. He's someone Grandmaster wishes to see. This disciple has been ordered to lead the way. "
"So it's Mister Niu." One of the men cupped his hands in a more amiable manner. Yue Qianchou nodded in acknowledgment. The other man had a taut face and a serious expression. He frowned and asked, "Guan Zhongkai, since you're Honorable Master's guest, why are you walking here?"
Guan Zhongkai replied, "Senior Niu wishes to see the scenery of Cornucopia and specifically requested to enter from here."
The man replied, "Mister Niu, to enter from here, you need a jade archive as a guide. Do you have one on you?"
Yue Qianchou could hear a hint of displeasure in his tone. He thought to himself, did I offend you? He calmly shook his head and said, "No."
"Then there's no other way. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to turn back and enter through a special passage. The rules here cannot be broken," the man said expressionlessly. Guan Zhongkai was stunned. Yu Lan also looked left and right in astonishment.
The other man with a more amiable expression said in a low voice, "Junior Martial Brother, don't be rash. This is Honorable Master's guest." He cupped his hands in greeting and smiled at Yue Qianchou. "Mister, please don't be offended. My Junior Martial Brother has always been like this. Please follow me and apply for a jade archive. After that, you'll be able to enter and exit freely. "
"So it's possible to apply for a jade archive." Yue Qianchou chuckled. He stared at the unfriendly man and asked softly, "So you're saying that you're deliberately making things difficult for me by asking me to turn back?"
Guan Zhongkai was shocked. He had personally experienced Niu Youde's prowess. Moreover, Niu Youde had a bad temper. Even his master couldn't handle him. Immediately, he bowed repeatedly and said, "Senior, please calm down, calm down." Even Yu Lan took a step back, her eyes darting around as if she was ready to watch a good show.
The person with the amiable expression also came out to smooth things over, "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart. Junior Brother, hurry up and apologize to Mister. "
Who would have thought that the man would say with a cold face, "Apologize? I didn't say anything wrong. Without the jade archive as a guide, we can't enter from here. Not to mention, I didn't stop him from applying for the jade archive. "
"Alright!" Yue Qianchou put on a fake smile and said, "You've got guts to provoke me. You must be tired of living." As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic, cold, and terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body, instantly filling the entire passageway.
"Senior, please calm down!" Guan Zhongkai said in a panic, but just as he said that, the rest of the words in his mouth were forced back by that extremely terrifying aura, and his entire body began to tremble. He thought to himself, 'It's over!'
The temperature in the cave instantly dropped below freezing point. Coupled with the bone-chilling aura, everyone was implicated. Even the people in the stone chambers on both sides were no exception. Everyone's teeth were chattering. The person with the amiable expression was terrified. He slowly raised his hand and said, "Senior …" He realized that it was extremely difficult for him to speak.
The person with the unkind tone was in trouble. Yue Qianchou mobilized the terrifying aura of the Black Flame and didn't hesitate to heavily punish him. This caused him to roll his eyes continuously. After swaying for a while, he couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground with a plop. He didn't wake up, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
"Hmph!" Yue Qianchou snorted coldly and said, "Seeing that we might become family in the future, I'll spare your life. If there's a next time, I'll kill you without mercy! Even if Yin Baikang comes, he won't be able to protect you. " The terrifying aura in the cave quickly disappeared with his last words and returned to normal.
But the others still felt their bodies stiffen. They couldn't recover for a while, and they all looked at Niu Youde in fear. Guan Zhongkai looked at the unconscious Martial Uncle on the ground and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, "Why did you have to do this? You even dragged the others into this."
Yu Lan Du was even more shocked when he activated his internal energy to dispel the terrifying aura that had seeped into his body. He knew that Niu Youde was powerful, but he had never experienced it himself. He didn't expect him to be this powerful. He didn't even need to lift a finger to deal with an expert at the end of the Crossing Calamity Stage. Just that terrifying aura alone was enough to deal with him. He had to inform Master of this as soon as possible.
The group of people gradually regained their mobility. The first thing the amiable person did was to squat down to check on his junior. He was relieved to find that he was still alive but unconscious. He waved his hand and summoned two people from the stone chamber to carry his junior away. Then, he cupped his fists and apologized, "Thank you for your mercy, Senior. Please follow me to complete the jade archive." He knew that the person in front of him wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
Yue Qianchou followed him expressionlessly. That person personally took out a jade archive and asked Yue Qianchou to imbue a strand of True Origin into it. Then, he immediately inscribed a set of incantations into the jade archive. Soon, the incantations were completed and handed to Yue Qianchou.
"How many spirit stones do you need?" Yue Qianchou waved the jade archive in his hand. That person waved his hand and said, "Senior is my Master's honored guest. How could I dare to accept your spirit stones?" Then, he gave Guan Zhongkai a look.
Guan Zhongkai understood and hurried over to invite Yue Qianchou to leave. Yue Qianchou couldn't be bothered to waste his time here and left with the two of them. That person remained behind Miao Yi and bowed, saying, "Farewell, Senior." Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, slowly letting out a sigh. He thought to himself, 'I've finally sent this terrifying guy away. How terrifying!'
With his hands behind his back, Yue Qianchou walked forward. The people standing in the passageway hurriedly made way for the three of them. They all stood on either side of him and looked at him with reverence. These people were cultivators from various places who had to pass through the passageway. They didn't expect to bump into the famous Niu Youde here. Not to mention, they even got to watch the show. However, the aura that filled the cave just now was too terrifying. Even now, everyone still hadn't fully recovered from it.
After walking for a short distance, they discovered a profound light screen blocking their path. The color of the light screen was almost exactly the same as the luster of the fluorite. If they weren't careful, they would definitely bump into it. The three of them took out their jade archives and imbued their True Origin into it. A ray of white light struck the light screen and three holes just wide enough for three people to pass through appeared. After the three of them passed through, the light screen quickly closed up again.
Such a profound wave light screen, in the short passage of nearly a hundred meters, actually had three obstructions. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but sigh at the tight security of the World Chamber of Commerce. If someone caused trouble and wanted to escape, even if they could break through these three light screens, it would still take them some time. Similarly, people who tried to barge in from the outside would face the same problem. Meanwhile, the World Chamber of Commerce would have enough time to react and respond.
Once they exited the cave, their eyes suddenly lit up. A bustling city was right in front of them. It was built in a basin surrounded by mountains. It was hard to imagine that such a bustling city could actually exist in such a desolate and uninhabited primeval forest. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration. This was a cornucopia. It really did look like a basin!
It was far bigger than the Hundred Flowers Valley, and far more lively than the Hundred Flowers Valley. Although it wasn't as big as the capitals of the various countries that Yue Qianchou had been to, the various buildings here were all exquisite. They couldn't be compared to the ordinary commoner's buildings in the secular world. Thinking about it, it made sense. Most of the buildings here were representatives of the various powers of the cultivation world. How could the secular world compare?
The most conspicuous was the cone-shaped towering mountain in the middle of the buildings. The cultivation world's famous God of Wealth Peak stood in the center of the cornucopia, the core of the World Chamber of Commerce. All sorts of buildings surrounded the foot of the mountain, spreading out in a circular pattern.
Guan Zhongkai saw the astonishment in Yue Qianchou's eyes and was somewhat pleased. He smiled and said: "Senior, this is our World Chamber of Commerce's headquarters. Please! "He pointed to the steps beneath his feet and made an inviting gesture. Yue Qianchou nodded and the three of them followed the steps into the basin.
Stepping into the bustling city, people came and went. It felt like the streets of the secular world. If they didn't know that this was the cultivation world's famous World Chamber of Commerce, who would have believed that they were currently in an important area of the cultivation world.
On both sides of the street, there were pavilions with green tiles and vermillion eaves. Wine shops and commercial buildings could be found everywhere. There were even some places where new buildings were being built. As Yue Qianchou looked left and right, he couldn't help but sigh that Yin Baikang was indeed a talent for business. He managed to manage such a remote place into such a prosperous place.
On the way, they saw people constantly greeting Guan Zhongkai and Yu Lan. However, when they saw the two of them respectfully accompanying a middle-aged man, they couldn't help but look at him in astonishment. They felt that he looked a little unfamiliar. But then they remembered that the two of them had been accompanying a certain person in the cultivation world during this period of time. Their expressions changed slightly as they remembered who that person was.
Not long after, the news that Niu Youde had arrived at the World Chamber of Commerce spread through the entire cornucopia at lightning speed.
"Dormant Spring?" Yue Qianchou stared at the signboard of a building and read it out loud. Then he looked at the dozen or so gorgeously dressed women downstairs. These women were basically all at the Foundation Establishment stage. They constantly tugged at the male cultivators passing by on the street …
Yue Qianchou opened his mouth, thinking that he was seeing things. He asked the two of them blankly: "What are they doing?"
"Soliciting customers!" Yu Lan said disapprovingly. Yue Qianchou said in disbelief: "Could this be a brothel? There are brothels in the cultivation world? Do cultivators do this? Are they being forced? "When he said this, his expression didn't look too good.
Guan Zhongkai explained: "No one is forcing them, they're all voluntary. Some itinerant cultivators don't have a source of spirit stones and want to continue cultivating in the cultivation world, so there are many who do this. After they save up enough spirit stones, they'll concentrate on cultivating. When they run out of spirit stones, they might come out and continue doing this. Of course, this place isn't like the brothels in the secular world, they won't restrict personal freedom. Here, the brothel keeper takes a cut. If you want to do it, you can come and go. It's very convenient. "
