Before Luo Ping went into seclusion, he naturally kept Chen Xiuxiu, Lan Yu, and the others into the Heaven Gate Space.
Apart from that, he also selected many talented soldiers and allowed them to cultivate in the Heaven Gate Space.
Luo Ping wasn't just thinking about improving his own cultivation, he was also very concerned about the cultivation of the people around him. After all, only by improving everyone's cultivation could Hundred River City truly develop.
After Luo Ping and the others went into seclusion, Hundred River City continued to develop steadily and rapidly under Min Shixiong's management. The Tianxing Chamber of Commerce's development was even faster.
In just ten thousand years, the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce had successfully developed into the fourth largest chamber of commerce in the Immortal Realm, replacing Gold Coin House's original position. Once again, the four largest chambers of commerce coexisted.
The Tianxing Chamber of Commerce's refining skills were so high that the quality of the refined items far exceeded that of the other three chambers of commerce. This greatly affected the businesses of the other three chambers of commerce. The three chambers of commerce now hated the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce to the core.
However, the three chambers of commerce were afraid of the Hundred Eyes Immortal Lord's strength. Naturally, they didn't dare to openly attack the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce. However, they still made moves in secret from time to time.
The members of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce would often be inexplicably injured or killed. This made Yuan Tianxing and the others realize that the three chambers of commerce were secretly attacking them. However, without conclusive evidence, they couldn't do anything to the three chambers of commerce.
Therefore, Yuan Tianxing could only instruct all the members of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce to be careful and guard against any sneak attacks from the experts of the other three chambers of commerce.
As time passed, the conflict between the three chambers of commerce and the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce gradually intensified. Although it wasn't to the extent of an open war, the three chambers of commerce's rare situation of uniting showed their attitude.
If it weren't for the Hundred Eyes Immortal Lord, the three chambers of commerce would have eradicated the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce long ago. The reason why the three chambers of commerce were so patient was that they planned to wait until they had cultivated an Immortal Lord expert before taking the initiative to deal with the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce.
After all, they had obtained the Seven Treasures Soul Condensing Pill. Now, some of the elders in the chamber of commerce were actively trying to break through to the Immortal Lord realm. As long as an Immortal Lord expert appeared, they would definitely attack the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce immediately.
However, how could it be so easy to break through to the Immortal High Tier? A total of 80,000 years had passed, yet there was still no news from the three merchant associations.
It wasn't just the three chambers of commerce. In the entire Immortal Realms, none of the powers that obtained the Seven Treasures Soul Condensing Pill had a new Immortal Monarch expert.
Although the Seven Treasures Soul Condensing Pill could indeed help a Ninth Grade Peerless Immortal compress his Soulfire and condense a Soulcore, the process wasn't that simple. It was impossible for anyone to successfully ascend to Immortal Monarch in just eighty thousand years.
Even so, the elders who had obtained the Seven Treasures Soul Condensing Pills could still feel their soul fires being rapidly compressed. None of them had the slightest doubt about the ability of the Seven Treasures Soul Condensing Pills.
Although there wasn't a new Immortal Monarch expert in any of the factions, the strength of those Level Nine Peerless Immortals had increased by a lot. In addition, many cultivators' strength and combat strength had increased after purchasing the goods of the Tianhang Chamber of Commerce.
In the past eighty thousand years, the Tianhang Chamber of Commerce had held four auctions. Each time, there would be a sea of people, and the bidding would be fierce. Although the price was high, everyone was willing to bid.
Hundred Rivers City, inside the main city tower.
Min Shixiong sat upright in the seat of honor. Below him were two rows of soldiers and patriarchs. They were all looking at Min Shixiong, as if they were discussing something.
"Vice City Lord, I heard that many major factions have recently sent experts to the Northernmost Glacier Land. Could it be that a great treasure has appeared there?"
A Level One Mystic Immortal soldier asked Min Shixiong.
"Yes, it's really strange. In the past hundred thousand years, it was said that a great treasure had appeared in the Flame Heavenly Mountain in the Northernmost Land, but it disappeared immediately. Then, it was said that a Tree God had broken out of the seal in the Northernmost Land, but it was a false alarm."
"Now, it's the Northernmost Land of Glaciers' turn to have something happen. This time, I don't know what kind of strange situation is going to happen."
Another soldier said.
"I have some understanding of this matter. It's said that the glaciers in the Northernmost Land of Glaciers, which had never melted all year round, have actually shown signs of melting in the past few hundred years."
"Although the melting speed is very slow, this strange and rare phenomenon has attracted the attention and speculation of various factions. They have sent experts to the Northernmost Land to inquire about the situation."
"I reckon that once a great treasure has appeared in the Northernmost Land, these factions will definitely fight over it frantically. However, I'm afraid that the final result will be the same as the Flame Heavenly Mountain in the Northernmost Land of Glaciers. In the end, it's just a false alarm."
A patriarch said.
Hearing this, everyone nodded. Obviously, they agreed with his statement. After all, they all understood the situation of the Flame Heavenly Mountain in the Northernmost Land of Glaciers. Now, they didn't have much hope for the strange phenomenon in the Northernmost Land of Glaciers.
"Regardless of whether or not the phenomenon in the Northernmost Glacial Land is a sign of the appearance of a great treasure, we should take action. Since the other forces have sent experts, our Hundred Rivers City will naturally have to send people to inquire about it as well."
"The City Lord is still cultivating in seclusion. Although our cultivation is lower, we can go with Kong Haotian of House Kong."
"Kong Haotian is a close friend of our City Lord. He will definitely protect our safety. Now, if anyone is willing to go to the Northernmost Land of Glaciers to inquire about the situation, you can volunteer."
Min Shixiong addressed the crowd.
Hearing this, the crowd looked at each other. For a moment, no one was willing to speak. After all, their cultivation was lower. Even with Kong Haotian's protection, they didn't dare take the risk.
This was because many first and second tier factions had also sent experts to the Northernmost Land of Glaciers. There was no lack of golden immortals and peerless immortals among them. If these people attacked them, even Kong Haotian wouldn't be able to withstand them.
Therefore, the soldiers and patriarchs instinctively didn't dare agree to this request. The entire hall fell silent for a moment.
"Vice City Lord Min, don't make things difficult for everyone. This matter is very dangerous. Let me go personally."
At this moment, a voice rang out in the hall, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"The City Lord has come out of seclusion!"
"It really is the City Lord. I wonder what cultivation level he's reached."
"In my opinion, he must be a peerless immortal. After all, that was the City Lord's goal."
"Given the City Lord's cultivation speed, it won't be difficult for him to ascend to the peerless immortal realm. Now that he's going in person, if a treasure really does appear in the Northernmost Land of Glaciers, the City Lord has a very good chance of obtaining it."
"I wonder how much the cultivations of the soldiers and generals who entered the sacred artefact of the City Lord have improved. It is said that the time within the sacred artefact of the City Lord is a hundred times faster. 80,000 years in the outside world is equivalent to 8,000,000 years within the sacred artefact."
"After eight million years, I reckon that the cultivation base of those soldiers and generals must have reached the Golden Immortal Realm. Now, our Hundred Rivers City is truly a Third Grade Immortal City. Perhaps, it will soon be promoted to a Second Grade Immortal City."
Discussions broke out in the hall when they heard the voice.
They couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was their City Lord's voice, which meant that he'd come out of seclusion.
Everyone was guessing what level Luo Ping's cultivation base had risen to. They were also guessing the cultivation bases of the soldiers who had entered Luo Ping's sacred item to cultivate.
After all, those soldiers were highly talented in cultivation. It would've been easy for them to reach the golden immortal realm after eight million years in the sacred weapon.
"Congratulations to the City Lord for coming out of seclusion. Since the City Lord intends to go to the Northernmost Land of Glaciers personally, there's no need for us to discuss this any further."
Min Shixiong said.
"Vice City Lord Min, let's call off the meeting. I've released the soldiers cultivating in my sacred weapon. You should come out and make the necessary arrangements."
Luo Ping's voice sounded again.
When Min Shixiong and the rest heard this, they left the hall without hesitation. They appeared on top of the main city tower and looked down.
There were three hundred soldiers standing neatly on the ground below. They were the ones who'd cultivated in Luo Ping's sacred weapon.
Luo Ping stood in the void. When Min Shixiong and the others appeared, Luo Ping quickly flew to the main city tower and stood beside them.
"City Lord, what's their cultivation level?"
Min Shixiong asked.
Min Shixiong and the others couldn't sense the cultivation level of the three hundred soldiers below. They all looked at Luo Ping in confusion.
"You're right. They've all advanced to the golden immortal realm."
Luo Ping said with a faint smile.
"Hiss …"
Everyone gasped in shock. Although they'd guessed it before, they still found it hard to believe when they heard the confirmation.
"They're all golden immortals?"
"A total of three hundred golden immortals. This is unbelievable."
"Not long ago, Min City didn't even have a single profound immortal. But now, Hundred River City has three hundred golden immortal soldiers. It's like a dream."
Min Shixiong said with emotion.
As he said, Min City didn't have a single profound immortal more than a hundred thousand years ago. It was one of the weakest among the D-grade immortal cities. But since Luo Ping's appearance, everything had changed.
Now, there were three hundred golden immortals in the entire Hundred River City. This made Min Shixiong feel that the past hundred thousand years was like a dream. It felt a little unreal.
"There's nothing unbelievable about it. In the future, the number of experts will only increase, and the level of the soldiers will also increase. It won't be long before Hundred River City becomes a real B-grade immortal city."
"Although it's a little difficult to become a A-grade immortal city and it will take more time, I believe that we'll succeed."
Luo Ping said in a firm tone.
"Yes, we'll succeed. We'll definitely become a A-grade immortal city. We're very confident in the City Lord's strength and the development of Hundred River City."
Min Shixiong said.
"We're all confident!"
