Four days later.
The people who were sent to investigate the Cao Du Alliance had finally returned. They had found the exact location of the Cao Du Alliance and the other alliances around it. However, they didn't have time to check the details.
After getting the exact location of the Cao Du Alliance, Lu An couldn't wait to go there. He had told Yao Yao, Yang Mei, and the other women in his family. They knew that they couldn't stop Lu An, so they could only try their best to help him.
For example, armors and weapons.
For a long time, Lu An had never used armors or weapons. In Lu An's eyes, those were powers that didn't belong to him. Once he got used to them, if they were taken away or lost their effectiveness, it would greatly reduce his fighting power. Even if he was strong enough, he wouldn't be able to use them perfectly. Thus, Lu An had always paid attention to the development of his own strength. He didn't use any external items to increase his strength.
According to Lu An's personality, he wouldn't have agreed to use weapons and armors this time. However, after the battle with the Fu Clan, he realized that weapons and armors could be useful. At least, they could save his life in a critical moment. Thus, he decided to try it this time. He wanted to see if he could adapt to weapons and armors. He also wanted to see if it would affect his own strength.
Lu An's armors were simple. It was just a coat for defense. This coat was made of a special material that wouldn't be damaged easily. At the same time, it had a formation that could protect his body. As for the weapons, they were even simpler. They were just two daggers. The biggest feature of these daggers was that they were hard enough. Lu An didn't care about the crystal cores embedded in them.
After putting on the coat and putting the daggers into his ring, Lu An opened the Teleportation Array under the girls' escort. When Lu An was about to leave, Liu Yi walked out from the group of women. She looked at Lu An and said, "Don't stay in the Cao Du Alliance for too long. Find out their strongholds in the Eight Ancient Continents as soon as possible. Use those strongholds to disperse their forces. Then, mobilize our forces to destroy them one by one."
"Understood," Lu An nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry. I won't act rashly."
When Lu An said that, the girls felt more relieved. Under the girls' escort, Lu An entered the Teleportation Array and left the Ice Fire Island.

In the Far North Sea, in the sky above an endless ocean.
A teleportation array appeared at an altitude of 20,000 feet, and a figure walked out from it.
It was Lu An.
Hu — —
A gust of wind swept past, causing Lu An's clothes to flutter. The cold temperature kept sweeping over Lu An's body, but it couldn't affect Lu An in the slightest.
Lu An's eyes were calm as he looked at the howling winds and the turbulent sea below. He frowned slightly.
This was the second time he had come to the Extreme North Sea Region. The first time was to find the Spreading Star Race to learn how to cure Princess Yan Yi. In fact, the entire Northernmost Sea Region was divided into an inner layer and an outer layer. The outer layer was where he was now, and it occupied one-fifth of the entire area of the Extreme North Sea. The inner layer was the part surrounded by a powerful magic formation, and it occupied the other four-fifths of the entire area.
Compared to the Southernmost Sea Region, the Northernmost Sea Region was much safer even though it was filled with raging winds. Even though Lu An was now standing on the periphery of the Northernmost Sea Region, the danger was not as great as the other sea regions near the Southernmost Sea Region. The Cao Du Alliance was located at the junction of the Northernmost Sea Region and the three northern seas.
Lu An looked to the west. The headquarters of the Cao Du Alliance was located five hundred miles to the west, and his current location was actually within the territorial waters of the Cao Du Alliance.
In order to hide his identity, Lu An had changed his makeup again. Although his facial features remained the same, his temperament and image had changed dramatically. If one didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to recognize that it was Lu An. Since he was already here, Lu An naturally wouldn't hesitate. He immediately took action and flew toward one of the Cao Du Alliance's headquarters!
There were a total of eight alliances in the Cao Du Alliance. If he went directly to the headquarters, he would definitely be suspected, so Lu An might as well investigate from the headquarters, which was safer.
Whoosh!!
Lu An's figure flew across the sky. He was less than four hundred miles away from the nearest alliance, which was very close to Lu An. Soon, he was sixty miles away. At this time, Lu An slowed down and restrained his aura. He controlled his aura to be around the pinnacle of Rank 7 and flew toward the alliance.
Lu An had the Hidden Immortal Ring, so he wasn't worried that anyone would be able to see through his true strength. The strength that others could sense was the aura that he deliberately released.
This alliance was called the Eastern Wasteland Alliance. At this moment, the alliance had already entered Lu An's line of sight. He wasn't in a hurry to enter the island. Instead, he waited and observed from the periphery.
According to the information that people had previously investigated, the businesses of the Cao Du Alliance were separated. The eight alliances were responsible for their own profits and losses. The headquarters of the alliance would only take ten percent of the profits for joint development. Therefore, the eight alliances' islands had places dedicated to doing business. The headquarters of the Eastern Emperor Alliance was made up of four islands. One of the islands had more people coming and going than the other three.
Lu An didn't spread out his perception. Otherwise, he would expose his strength. He flew directly to the island with the most people and landed steadily on the ground.
There were many people on the island. It was bustling with activity and an endless stream of people. Lu An's appearance didn't attract anyone's attention. Lu An wasn't in a hurry either. He first went to the Teleportation Palace to set up his own Teleportation Array before walking toward the Chamber of Commerce.
The Eastern Wasteland Alliance was considered average among the eight alliances. It was the same for the Eastern Wasteland Chamber of Commerce. Lu An's method of gathering information had always been simple. All the merchants in the world worked for profit. He could refine elixirs. Just the Grade 8 elixirs alone were enough to move all the merchants of the Deep Sea Alliance.
Lu An walked into the Chamber of Commerce and saw the busy interior of the palace. He wasn't in a hurry to do anything. Instead, he walked around the various places. After half an hour, he moved and walked toward a staff member who was strolling around the hall.
"Brother." Lu An walked to the side of this person and said.
This person was stunned and turned to look at Lu An. He first looked up and down and didn't find anything strange. Then, he said, "The consulting person is over there. The trading place is over there."
Hearing this, Lu An didn't care. Instead, he looked left and right mysteriously. Then, he whispered, "I have a batch of illegal goods. There is also a Grade 8 elixir in it …"
Illegal goods? Grade 8 elixir?!
When this person heard this, he immediately took a deep breath! Everyone knew what illegal goods were. There were too many things in the Deep Sea Alliance that couldn't see the light of day. Killing, robbing, and kidnapping were normal. Since it was illegal goods, it meant that they couldn't see the light of day. Otherwise, they would definitely be hunted down. However, as long as they reached a deal with the alliance, no one would have the guts to attack an alliance.
This was also one of the reasons for establishing the Deep Sea Alliance. Only with enough strength could they collect more money.
If it was illegal goods of Grade 7 elixirs, it would be fine. However, Grade 8 elixirs were completely out of his control. This person immediately said to Lu An, "Wait here. I will report to the supervisor!"
Lu An nodded. He watched this person leave and waited at his spot. The charm of a Grade 8 elixir didn't make him wait for a long time. This person came back quickly. He ran to Lu An and said, "The supervisor wants to see you. Follow me!"
"Okay," Lu An said.
The two of them left the lobby and walked to the corridor of the third floor before stopping. This person took Lu An to a room. The door of the room was wide open, so they could see everything inside.
A tall and thin man was sitting behind a desk. From his aura, he should be at the late stage of Grade 7, which wasn't much different from Lu An's aura. When this person saw Lu An, his eyes brightened. He hurried to ask Lu An to sit down.
This man quickly sized up Lu An, and Lu An was also sizing him up. The position of a Chamber of Commerce's supervisor in an alliance wasn't low. It could even be considered high. Of course, the most important thing was that once the Cao Du Alliance entered the Eight Ancient Continents, the eight alliances would immediately take over the businesses of their territories. In other words, this person in front of Shi Yan should at least know the location of the Eastern Wasteland Alliance's territories in the Eight Ancient Continents. He could even know the territories of the other alliances.
After sizing each other up, the man smiled. He was obviously excited. He immediately said to Lu An, "I'm Zhan Kong. May I know your name?"
Hearing the other's question, Lu An didn't answer. He pretended to be cautious and said in a low voice, "I'm just here to deliver the goods. You buy, and I sell. If you want to ask me something else, I'm leaving."
The other party was stunned when he heard this, but his smile immediately became wider. Lu An's expression made him even more convinced that there was indeed something good. He immediately said, "Okay, I won't ask, but I have to know what it is first, right?"
Lu An's eyes became cold. He lowered his voice and said, "Hundred Year Elixir!"
