The members of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company became more agitated the more they discussed. They yearned to behead Yi Yun in public.
However, as the true helmsman of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, Yan Pingchuan suddenly grunted coldly. "Enough! Attacking without knowing the enemy's depth is no different from courting death. Without my orders, no one from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company is to provoke this person or they will be punished according to the family law! "
Yan Pingchuan's sudden words stunned everyone from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company.
They had been ruthlessly trampled on, yet they were not allowed to resist?
"But … Advisor Yang and Yangping have their limbs chopped off. If we do not rescue them, not only will we become a laughing stock in Jade Luster City, we will also lose the trust of the people. The people of the trading company will think that nothing good will come of working for the Heaven Amplification Trading Company …"
A Heaven Amplification Trading Company Elder said. His worries were not without reason.
Yan Pingchuan did not answer. After a long period of silence, he looked at a young man in the room. The young man was dressed in purple. He was tall and had deep eyes. His skin was not as fair as the typical scions of wealthy families. Instead, it had a bronze color that exuded strength.
This person was the Heaven Amplification Trading Company's young master, Yan Tiancong.
"Cong'er, what's your take on this?" asked Yan Pingchuan.
"I agree with Grandfather. I suggest that we do not act rashly for the time being. We can even make appropriate concessions and give some pills to reattach Advisor Yang and Yangping's limbs. It will prevent them from being crippled in the future. As for the rest, we should plan ahead. My master is coming to Jade Luster City …"
Upon hearing Yan Tiancong's words, Yan Pingchuan was delighted. "His Excellency Huayu is coming to Jade Luster City?"
"Yes!"
"Yea!" Yan Pingchuan nodded. He was very satisfied with his grandson's answer. A moment of forbearance was not a sign of weakness. Thinking before acting was the quality a person in power should have. Especially with His Excellency Huayu's arrival, Yan Pingchuan saw a turning point in the situation. He said, "His Excellency Huayu must be here because of the phenomenon in Sun Burial Sandsea …"
"Yes! In order to provide Master with more information, I have already gathered a lot of information regarding the Sun Burial Sandsea. However, I still have no idea why the phenomenon appeared. However … I have investigated the mystery of the disappearance of the Divine Secrets Trading Company's Old Man Ji. Back when the phenomenon occurred, there were records of him leaving Jade Luster City. I suspect that Old Man Ji's disappearance is related to the phenomenon. It's even possible that the Divine Secrets Trading Company has already obtained some information regarding the phenomenon in the Sun Burial Sandsea. "
"Oh? Really? " Yan Pingchuan's eyes lit up. This was an extremely valuable piece of information. Not only did it determine if the Heaven Amplification Trading Company would be able to successfully annex the Divine Secrets Trading Company, it also affected the phenomenon in Sun Burial Sandsea.
The phenomenon had already attracted the attention of more and more factions. It might even be a supreme-grade treasure. If the Heaven Amplification Trading Company could obtain some benefits from it, even if it was just a small portion, it would be extremely beneficial.
Yan Pingchuan was increasingly pleased with his grandson. Before he could say a word, Yan Tiancong added, "Grandfather, according to what I know, the current sect master of the Heaven Secrets Chapter has also come to the Sun Burial Sandsea. The Heaven Secrets Chapter cultivates in geomancy mystic arts, allowing them to gain insights into the worldly forces of the Sun Burial Sandsea. And according to what I know, the Heaven Secrets Chapter has a grudge with Old Man Ji. Old Man Ji was likely a defected disciple of the Heaven Secrets Chapter!"
Since Yan Tiancong viewed the Divine Secrets Trading Company as an opponent and wanted to annex it, he had never given up on his search for information regarding the Divine Secrets Trading Company all these years.
Even though Old Man Ji had concealed his relationship with the Heaven Secrets Chapter, with the growth of the Divine Secrets Trading Company, it was very difficult to conceal his background. If the red-dressed old woman could find the Ji family's hideout, Yan Tiancong naturally could as well.
"Good! Very good! Leave this matter to Cong 'er! "Yan Pingchuan laughed heartily. He was in a good mood. He was relieved that the Heaven Amplification Trading Company had such a successor.
"Yes, Grandfather." Yan Tiancong responded. There was no expression on his face, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Although Ji Shuiyan was not his woman, he could not accept Ji Shuiyan's betrayal. He would not allow anyone to betray him.
Yan Tiancong was extremely ambitious. The Heaven Amplification Trading Company was just the beginning. Even the entire Sun Burial Sandsea could not contain his ambitions.
…
At that moment, in the Divine Secrets Trading Company's residence, Yi Yun's breakthrough to the mid-stages of the Dao Manifestation realm lasted three days. He used a single night to break through and the rest of the time was spent consolidating his cultivation.
He had already used up more than half of the pure Yang divine stones he had obtained from Ji Shuiyan. Yi Yun felt somewhat regretful as he looked at the pure Yang divine stones that had turned to ash.
The pure Yang divine stones were no doubt natural treasures. They were likely formed from the surrounding rocks that had been roasted by the Yang spirit over hundreds of millions of years of refinement. They were extremely precious.
Unfortunately, if these pure Yang divine stones could be combined with Fey bones to be refined into relics, the effects would increase by several times.
Yi Yun knew the Desolate Heaven technique himself, and because of the Purple Crystal, his cultivation of the Desolate Heaven technique could be said to be blessed by nature. However, in recent years, he had been focused on martial arts to raise his strength. He had temporarily set aside the Desolate Heaven technique.
But even so, Yi Yun's Desolate Heaven technique was extraordinary. Furthermore, if he was given time to raise his Desolate Heaven technique standard, he would improve rapidly.
As he needed to nurture four nine-leaf Grand Dao fruits, as well as the divine tree seed, the amount of natural treasures Yi Yun needed to raise his cultivation realm far exceeded that of typical warriors. Although Yi Yun was in the mid-stages of the Dao Manifestation realm, even warriors at the eighth or ninth floor of the Dao Palace realm would not be able to expend that many natural treasures.
Under such circumstances, Yi Yun was even considering if he should cultivate in the Desolate Heaven technique.
As long as he had relics and pills, his cultivation speed would improve by leaps and bounds.
However, it was not easy to gather these items. Now that Yi Yun was at the Dao Manifestation realm, and he was in the Sun Burial Sandsea, a desert that produced natural treasures, it was still relatively easy for him to gather them. However, after the Dao Palace realm, it would become even more difficult.
Under such circumstances, the utilization of natural treasures was of utmost importance.
Although cultivating in the Desolate Heaven technique took some time, sharpening one's axe would not delay the work of cutting firewood.
If other warriors were to know of Yi Yun's thoughts, they would definitely curse him for wasting natural treasures. Anyone who had the convenient conditions to cultivate in the Desolate Heaven technique like Yi Yun did would probably rack their brains to squeeze through the doors of the Desolate Heaven technique. Regardless of which Heaven one was in in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, a grandmaster-level Desolate Heaven Master or alchemist was a highly respected and extremely wealthy existence.
As Yi Yun was pondering over it, he heard a series of soft footsteps. He scanned with his perception and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl dressed in yellow standing by the door.
