On the third day after Ni Yue's heavenly tribulation, two pieces of news spread throughout the entire Cultivation Domain, causing quite a stir.
The first piece of news was naturally the news that Luo Ping and Ni Yue were going to get married. Even the wedding date had been set. It was going to be held on an auspicious day in half a year's time.
Although this news was nothing new to the entire Cultivation Domain, it made all the forces aware of one thing.
Once Luo Ping and Ni Yue got married, the relationship between the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect and the Demon Clan would be as solid as an iron plate. It would be difficult to shake it.
Originally, the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect's forces had developed too quickly. They had far surpassed the first-grade forces. Now that they had the backing and support of the Demon Clan, they were bound to be even more unshakable.
The second piece of news was to let all the forces in the Cultivation Domain see the true strength of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. In just one day, the first-grade Valley of the Sacred Sword and four second-grade sects were all annihilated by the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect.
Such a terrifying thing was something that no force would dare to imagine in the past. After all, the Valley of the Sacred Sword had firmly held the position of the first-grade sects for too long. Its status and strength were unshakable.
But now, it was actually so easily annihilated by the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. It was enough to show that the strength of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect had reached an unimaginable stage.
At this time, no force dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction or doubt towards the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. This was because they didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Valley of the Sacred Sword.
After Luo Ping returned to the sect and led the experts of the sect to annihilate the five sects including the Valley of the Sacred Sword, he immediately spread the news that he and Ni Yue were going to get married.
After that, he directly returned to his secret room and began to prepare for the upcoming heavenly tribulation.
Because he had guessed the power of the heavenly tribulation, Luo Ping naturally became more cautious and careful. There was only one or two months left, so he had to make the best use of his time.
After entering the secret chamber, Luo Ping took out the Mother Earth Heavy Soil that he had obtained from the gravitational region of the Boundless Black Abyss. He planned to refine the Mother Earth Heavy Soil in the shortest time possible before activating the Earth Spirit Divine Light.
As long as the five elements spirit body divine lights were all opened, his strength would inevitably improve again. It was estimated that the defensive power of his physical body alone would be able to resist the attack of the dacheng stage.
As for after activating the Divine Light of Earth, what he had to do was to make sufficient preparations. He had to consider all the dangers that might appear during the process of the heavenly tribulation and find the most suitable and advantageous method to resist it.
While Luo Ping was in seclusion, the upper echelons of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce had already divided half of the Fengyun City. Hence, Boyi and Che Ye directly led a large number of Sky Motion Sect disciples into the city.
The reason why Luo Ping wanted to take half of the Fengyun City was to develop the Sky Motion Sect's strength here.
After all, the Fengyun City had been developed by the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce for so many years, so everyone knew that cultivators from various regions would come here to purchase the cultivation materials and resources they needed.
Since the Sky Motion Sect cultivated four types of support techniques at the same time, they would definitely need to refine a large number of pills, weapons, talismans, and so on. Furthermore, they would also need to collect a large number of refining materials.
Under such circumstances, it was not a bad choice to develop the Sky Motion Sect into a powerful chamber of commerce at the same time. Luo Ping only thought of this method after being inspired by Mu Ningxiang previously.
This way, the Sky Motion Sect could sell a large number of finished products refined by their disciples and circulate a large number of refining materials. Not only would it satisfy the requirements of the buyers, but it could also satisfy the needs of the disciples at any time. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Game Head and Che Ye worked very quickly. In just a few days, they had completely transformed half of the city into the Sky Motion Sect's territory.
In the city, the signboards of the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce were hung on countless shops. A large number of materials, treasures, and finished products were displayed on display.
Many cultivators came with a curious attitude. Soon, the Sky Motion Sect was packed to the brim. This made the people in the Fengyun City, who were just a street away, feel resentful.
"President, look across the street. The Sky Motion Sect has just been established not long ago, but they are already developing the power of the chamber of commerce. Furthermore, the signboards of the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce have already been hung up. Isn't it obvious that they want to compete with our Fengyun Chamber of Commerce?"
"I really didn't expect them to ask for half of our city just for this. They even changed the name of the city to Sky Motion Sect. Now, a large number of cultivators are entering every day."
"If this situation continues to develop, the businesses of our chamber of commerce will be seriously affected. President, you can't sit back and do nothing about this matter."
In the headquarters of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, a senior member was complaining to Mu Ningxiang.
His tone was full of dissatisfaction with the actions of the Sky Motion Sect. After all, the rise of the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce was only a street away from the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce. This was a huge hindrance to the development of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce.
Not only did the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce lose half of their city, but now they were facing the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce's business. This made many of the senior members of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce angry.
"President, we can't just sit and wait. If we don't take any measures, the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce will definitely think that we are afraid of them. They might even take a mile after taking an inch."
"Hmph, what measures can we take? The Sky Motion Sect is a subsidiary sect of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. It's not like you don't know the strength of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. They just destroyed the Valley of the Sacred Sword and the other four sects. Their power is unparalleled. Who dares to provoke them?"
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to swallow our anger and do nothing? Are we just going to watch the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce pull in all the customers that originally belonged to us? "
Before Mu Ningxiang could speak, the other senior members began to discuss with each other. Some wanted to take measures, while others were afraid of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect's strength. They didn't want to fight a stone with an egg.
"Alright, I understand the elders' intentions. I can also understand everyone's feelings. After all, we are all concerned about the survival of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce."
"The existence of the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce is already a fact. We can't change it. Furthermore, the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. If we want to compete with them, it won't be easy."
"In addition, the chamber of commerce has just experienced an unforeseen event. First, it was the former president's identity as a foreign race. Then, it was when I took over the helm of the chamber of commerce. A few of the senior members agreed on the surface, but in reality, they were dissatisfied and joined forces to rebel. Although they were suppressed by me in the end, it has greatly weakened the strength of the chamber of commerce."
"Therefore, in the current situation, we can't go head-to-head with the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce. We need to take a more gentle approach and pull back the lost customers."
After Mu Ningxiang calmed everyone down, she analyzed the current situation of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce and compared it to the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce's strength.
In her opinion, the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce wasn't suitable to go head-to-head with the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce. Even if they were to take measures to counterattack, they should take a more gentle approach.
In fact, many of the senior members of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce were dissatisfied with Mu Ningxiang taking over the position of president. If it weren't for the situation at that time, many of them would have chosen to oppose it.
Therefore, on the third day after Mu Ningxiang took over, some of the senior members of the chamber of commerce secretly joined forces and wanted to rebel. Fortunately, Mu Ningxiang had been warned by her father and was prepared. Thus, she managed to suppress the rebellion without any mishaps.
Some of the senior members who participated in the rebellion were directly beheaded. Some were willing to atone for their crimes and were sent to other branches.
After this battle, the strength of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce had been greatly reduced. Therefore, Mu Ningxiang wasn't willing to bring more trouble to the chamber of commerce at this time.
"Gentle approach?"
"President, what do you mean? Can you explain it to us?"
Some of the senior members questioned Mu Ningxiang's suggestion.
"Of course. The so-called gentle approach is, of course, to pull back the customers of the chamber of commerce without endangering the interests of the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce."
"To be more precise, we can use the momentum of the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce's development to make a lot of money. I believe that there's more than just competition between peers, there's also mutual benefit."
Mu Ningxiang's face revealed a confident smile. Then, she told the senior members of the chamber of commerce her idea.
After hearing Mu Ningxiang's idea, the senior members all revealed satisfied smiles and repeatedly praised Mu Ningxiang.
Soon, the headquarters of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce released a message that made the self-cultivators who were heading to the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce restless and excited.
The self-cultivators who were originally going to leave the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce immediately entered the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce once again. Not long after, the flow of people in the two cities reached the same level. However, both cities were full.
"Sect Master, I didn't expect President Ningxiang of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce to be so intelligent. She actually came up with such a 'full exchange' method and successfully attracted all the self-cultivators."
Within the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce, Zuo Qiuyi said to Che Ye.
"Yeah, President Ningxiang's wisdom is not inferior to President Qiyan's. I believe that under her leadership, the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce will soon regain its prestige."
"Full exchange is indeed a good idea. After the chamber of commerce's quota reaches a certain level, they can go to the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce and spend a very small amount of spirit stones to exchange for items. Not only will it not endanger our interests, but it will also increase our interests. This is precisely where her brilliance lies."
"Originally, many self-cultivators only planned to buy a hundred mid-grade spirit stones worth of items. However, in order to exchange for items in the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, they will buy two hundred mid-grade spirit stones. After arriving at the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, they only need to spend a dozen mid-grade spirit stones to exchange for items of a higher level."
"This way, not only will the self-cultivators spend the least amount of money to buy the most beneficial items, but the two chambers of commerce will also obtain the most benefits. It can be said that everyone is happy."
Che Ye also appreciated Mu Ningxiang's idea. After all, Mu Ningxiang's idea also increased the Sky Motion Chamber of Commerce's interests.
