Seeing that he didn't have any special requests, Luo Ping smiled, "Then Brother Miao can rest assured. The Chamber of Commerce will definitely deliver the goods as soon as possible."
Miao Yi nodded and took out twenty million from his storage ring. He also took out the account that he saved in the Chamber of Commerce and asked Luo Ping to transfer ten million.
The money was all in one go. There was nothing more to say. After the procedures were completed, Luo Ping asked again, "Brother Miao, do you have any other requests?"
Miao Yi obviously had requests. He wanted a Third Grade Transcendent Artifact, but a Third Grade Yao Core was worth a million Orbs of Will. Even if he piled everything up together, he wouldn't be able to exchange for a Third Grade Yao Core.
Then again, even if he had a Third Grade Transcendent Artifact, it would be difficult for him to control it with his current cultivation.
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Luo Ping nodded and immediately cupped his fists, "Uncle Hua, Uncle Dong, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip. Please deliver the items that Brother Miao wants as soon as possible."
The two nodded in acknowledgment.
After everything was settled, the four of them finally came out after being cooped up in the silent quarters for over twenty days.
Uncle Hua and Old Dong didn't greet anyone. They left the living room and flew away.
Luo Ping and Old Liu stayed in Mount Calming Sea for the time being. They would only leave after the two of them delivered the goods and Miao Yi was paid.
The heavily guarded gate was finally opened. Luo Ping accompanied Miao Yi as they walked out with a smile.
In the pavilion far away, Wen Fang saw Luo Ping beaming from the bottom of his heart. It was obvious that he had gained a lot. She was extremely envious.
Miao Yi was surprised to see Wen Fang. It had been so many days and this woman still hadn't left? She was quite persistent. Forget it. If there was a chance, he might as well make a few deals with her.
Tian Qingfeng, who was standing guard outside, came up to report, "Milord, Master has brought the School of Blue Jade's disciples."
Tong Renmei had brought them here personally? Miao Yi asked and found out that Tong Renmei had been here for a long time. However, he had been hiding in the silent quarters for so many days. Outsiders couldn't even get close to him. Tong Renmei was also quite patient. He had been waiting all this time.
Miao Yi immediately said, "Invite him in."
Not long after, the white-haired Tong Renmei arrived, accompanied by Tian Qingfeng.
"Brother Luo, please make yourself at home. I have guests to entertain." Miao Yi greeted Luo Ping.
"No problem." Luo Ping smiled and nodded. He led Old Man Liu and brushed past Tong Renmei.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi had already cupped his fists and said, "Forgive me, forgive me. I did not know that Elder Tong would be here in person. Please forgive me for my negligence, Elder Tong."
"Mountain Chieftain's matter is very important. How would I dare to take offense?" Tong Renmei cupped his fists in return. He was very respectful and polite.
Putting aside the fact that Miao Yi's status had risen, just the fact that he had helped so many disciples of the School of Blue Jade rise to their positions was enough to make the School of Blue Jade extremely excited. Hence, they had personally come to congratulate Miao Yi on his promotion on behalf of the School of Blue Jade.
He didn't expect to bump into Miao Yi as soon as he arrived, as he had business to attend to and wasn't receiving any guests. It was only after Tian Qingfeng secretly transmitted his voice that he found out that Miao Yi had a few Red Lotus friends with him. He didn't dare to disturb Miao Yi, nor did he leave out of impatience. He forced himself to stay in Mount Calming Sea for almost twenty days, and at the same time, he had his subordinates upgrade the gifts to congratulate Miao Yi on his promotion by several notches.
Just now, he had also noticed the two Red Lotus experts flying into the sky. It could be said that he was secretly alarmed. He didn't expect that Miao Yi's acquaintances were all such people.
Since Miao Yi had such a background, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before this Mountain Chieftain Miao became a Manor Head.
With this thought in mind, he naturally had to grab onto Miao Yi's thigh. If he didn't do so now, it would be too late when Miao Yi became a Manor Head.
Miao Yi invited him in to take a seat. Qian'Er and Xue'Er served tea, and Tong Renmei immediately stood up and cupped his fists. "I dare not trouble Elder Auntie and Little Auntie."
These two women were Miao Yi's closest confidants. Xiong Xiao had ended up like that because of one of his handmaidens. It was clear how powerful pillow talk was. Tong Renmei naturally didn't dare to be negligent.
After taking a seat, Tong Renmei took out a gift box and opened it, pushing it to Miao Yi. "My sect's Sect Master has ordered me to represent the School of Blue Jade in congratulating Milord on your promotion.
Miao Yi took a look. Inside the box were a dozen stalks of spiritual herbs shrouded in spiritual energy. He didn't have any experience in this area, so he couldn't tell if they were good or bad. However, since Tong Renmei dared to show them to him, it must not be a small gift. He smiled politely and said, "Sorry for the expense."
Miao Yi was currently poor. Since someone was offering him a gift, he naturally wouldn't reject it. He turned around and gestured to Qian'Er, who immediately came over and took the gift box away.
Tong Renmei then handed over a jade archive. "This is the person Milord wanted. I have personally brought him here."
"How could I trouble Elder Tong to personally make a trip for such a small matter?" Miao Yi replied politely. He took the jade archive and examined it. Seeing that there weren't any major problems, he approved it on the spot and handed it over to Xue'Er. "Send this to South Edict Manor immediately to ask for the Manor Head's approval."
"Understood!" Xue'Er received the jade archive and left.
After the two of them conversed for a while, Tong Renmei, as a Court Elder, couldn't leave the School of Blue Jade for too long. Since he had already met Miao Yi, he naturally couldn't stay any longer and was about to bid farewell.
Since the esteemed Court Elder of the School of Blue Jade had personally made a trip here, Miao Yi naturally had to play the role of a host. He asked him to stay and personally hosted a banquet for him before letting him go.
After sending Tong Renmei off, Miao Yi ordered someone to summon Yan Xiu and asked him about the recent situation in the various Caves.
As expected, the various Caves were not peaceful. The disciples of the three major sects were obviously not very obedient. It was just that they couldn't do anything if they met a Blue Lotus Cave Master. However, they still caused some trouble for the Cave Masters who didn't have much experience in overseeing an area.
Originally, Miao Yi only needed to sit on the sidelines and watch. Now that the number of troops under his command had increased exponentially, and he had to manage such a large territory with millions of followers, he couldn't possibly do everything himself. He would be exhausted to death if he did. He only needed to control the overall situation. It was also necessary for him to let his subordinates train.
However, he needed to stabilize Mount Calming Sea as soon as possible, so he could only directly intervene from above and help mediate.
After understanding the situation, he immediately ordered Yan Xiu to summon the twenty School of Blue Jade disciples that Tong Renmei had brought with him.
After meeting with these twenty people and giving them a face-to-face lecture, Miao Yi immediately wrote an official decree and distributed it, ordering them to rush to the Caves that were in need and assist the Cave Masters in stabilizing the various Caves. At the same time, they were to summon the troublemakers from the various Caves. This was equivalent to using these people as replacements.
Once the troublemakers from the various Caves arrived at Mount Calming Sea, they wouldn't be able to do anything when faced with Tian Qingfeng and the other Blue Lotus experts.
Miao Yi also had the intention of strengthening Zhou Huan and the others. He couldn't let them be oppressed to the point where they couldn't even breathe. It wouldn't do to completely let Tian Qingfeng and the other School of Blue Jade disciples monopolize Mount Calming Sea. Otherwise, they wouldn't even know if they were blinded. Leaving some opposition was still beneficial to the stability of Mount Calming Sea.
Thus, the twenty people who had just arrived at Mount Calming Sea immediately rode off on their dragon steeds.
When they turned back, the City Lords of the vassal cities in Mount Calming Sea once again arrived, escorting a large number of gifts to pay their respects to the new Mountain Chieftain.
Luo Ping and Wen Fang, who were temporarily staying at Mount Calming Sea, noticed the constant flow of people coming and going from Miao Yi's side. They realized that Miao Yi seemed to be busy day and night, and didn't have the time to attend to them for the time being. They couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'It turns out that a Mountain Chieftain overseeing an area is so busy! It seems that governing an area isn't that easy after all... '
South Edict Manor. The name list submitted by Miao Yi had already arrived, and another secret report arrived almost immediately after.
Yang Qing paced around the pavilion, leaning on the railing as he silently gazed into the distance.
He had spies in Mount Calming Sea. Recently, Red Lotus experts had been popping up in Mount Calming Sea frequently. He had already received a secret report, and was secretly bewildered. He didn't know who those Red Lotus experts were, and why did they only come out after meeting with Miao Yi in the secret chamber for more than twenty days? And how did Miao Yi manage to form a relationship with these Red Lotus experts?
Before this, he couldn't understand why the mighty Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall would personally select Miao Yi to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Looking at the situation now, could the Hall Master have already sensed something beforehand?
After approving the name list submitted by Miao Yi, Yang Qing personally wrote a jade archive and handed it to Qing Ju, saying, "Send this to Elder Wu of the School of Imperial Beasts."
Meanwhile, over at Mount Calming Sea, Uncle Hua and Old Dong didn't make Miao Yi wait for too long. They rushed back together a day later.
The four of them then went to the silent quarters for a closed-door discussion.
After Miao Yi inspected the one hundred and fifty urns of Crystalline Obsidian sent over by the two of them, he found that the quality of the thirty-three Second Grade Yao Cores and the one hundred First Grade Yao Cores was also quite good.
Miao Yi was a little surprised. Previously, Luo Ping had mentioned that he might use the Yin Cores and Inner Cores to make up for it. Now, it seemed that the other party had kept his word and tried his best to transfer all the Yao Cores he had to Miao Yi.
The payment was settled, and the four of them made a receipt for each other, and the transaction was finally concluded.
The four of them left the silent quarters, and Luo Ping, who had stayed here for many days, also offered to take his leave.
Miao Yi knew that they had been away from the capital city for too long, and it wouldn't be good to stay any longer. He sent them off to the courtyard, and watched as they flew away.
As soon as he sent off his guests, a resentful voice came from the gazebo, "Big Brother, are you free now?"
"Uhh …" Miao Yi turned around and saw a pretty girl pouting as she walked over. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Wen Fang, are you done with your business at South Edict Manor?"
Wen Fang seemed to be angry as she said, "Big Brother, you still have the nerve to bring this up? You're too cruel. You know that Little Sister is in this line of work, and you don't even know how to take care of Little Sister when you're doing such a large transaction. If Big Brother lets a little bit of business slip through your fingers to Little Sister, I'm afraid it would be worth it even if I had to stop doing business at South Edict Manor for a year."
The transaction he had just completed with Luo Ping was indeed not a small one. After repeated transactions, Luo Ping had completed a transaction worth about two billion Gold Crystals. Putting aside the commission, just this transaction volume alone was enough for the Chamber of Commerce to promote Wen Fang to a big city near Suppressing Second Hall. She wouldn't have to stay in this cold yamen anymore.
One had to know that the colder the yamen was, the worse one's future would be!
Miao Yi realized that this woman was really friendly, and she was thick-skinned as well. She pulled the two of them closer and closer. If an outsider were to overhear this, they would definitely think that the two of them were blood-related siblings. Even Miao Yi was embarrassed by her words.
