Recent Developments at Qitian Peak
Imperial City Branch, in a loft.
Chu Xingyun put down his teacup and looked at Tiger Chu curiously. "Tiger Chu, what's going on? How did you become the Branch President of the Imperial City Branch? And why are you personally hosting the Trade Fair?"
The Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce had its headquarters at the Qitian Peak. Every empire, kingdom, and even city would set up a branch to facilitate management and set up various trade routes.
As the founder of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce, Tiger Chu's status wasn't low, and he had a certain amount of decision-making power. Logically speaking, he didn't need to be the Branch President, nor did he need to manage trivial matters like the Trade Fair.
"It's a long story."
Tiger Chu scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Ever since the Young Master left, I've been working hard on my cultivation. In just a year, I've successfully stepped into the Earth Spirit Realm. But this result didn't satisfy Senior Lin.
"He said that I'm impetuous and pursue realms blindly, causing my foundation to be unstable. So, he made me the Branch President to manage the affairs of the branch to polish my foundation and stabilize my mind."
"I see." Chu Xingyun suddenly came to a realization. Lin Tianchong's path of cultivation had always been about gradual progress, one step at a time, and there were no shortcuts. It was also out of good intentions that he let Chu Hu be the branch president.
Tiger Chu was also aware of this, which was why he had never complained.
During the time he was the Branch President, his mentality gradually changed. He became especially calm, and he completely stabilized his realm at the First Sky of the Earth Spirit Realm. He was no longer impetuous.
After chatting with Chu Xingyun for a while, Tiger Chu opened his mouth and explained the recent developments at the Qitian Peak to Chu Xingyun.
With the rise of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce, the Qitian Peak, as the headquarters, had a transcendent status. Every day, countless martial artists from all over the world would rush over, just to take half a step into the Qitian Peak.
These martial artists all had different goals.
Some of them came to refine pills.
Before Chu Xingyun left the Qitian Peak, he left behind countless precious pill recipes. He even left behind the Ten Thousand Beast Fire and gave it to Yang Yan, Zhang Fangui, and the others.
Under their management, many heaven-defying pills were refined and sold to various empires and kingdoms. At the same time, they also recruited countless alchemists, spreading their footprints all over the world.
Now, there were no less than ten thousand alchemists recorded in the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce's records.
Some of them came to refine weapons.
Mo Wanggong's physical body had been destroyed, and he was now a half-human, half-puppet. However, his forging skills had not disappeared, and he could easily forge a divine weapon.
The martial artists from the outside world naturally did not know of Mo Wang Gong's existence. However, they yearned for these divine weapons. Some of them even travelled thousands of miles and knelt at the foot of Heaven's Equal Peak for a few days and nights, just to beg Mo Wang Gong to forge them.
Another group of people came for trade.
The Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce was huge. Their trade routes were spread all over the empires and kingdoms. Other chambers of commerce were interested in the development of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce and sought cooperation. Even the kings of the kingdoms and empires came personally to cooperate with the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
Because of this, the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce's reputation soared. More and more people sought to cooperate with them.
The last group of people came for cultivation.
There were three Mountain Guarding Formations in the Qitian Peak. There were five Black Spirit Veins. The deepest part was guarded by the Heavenly Saint Spiritual Pearl.
After being nourished by these three items day and night, the Qitian Peak had become a holy land for cultivation. As long as one cultivated here, their speed would increase by several times. Their chances of breaking through the shackles of cultivation would also increase greatly.
Therefore, many martial artists wanted to enter the Qitian Peak. Among them, there was no lack of Heavenly Spirit Realm experts.
After hearing Tiger Chu's words, Chu Xingyun sighed.
The development of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce and the Qitian Peak had greatly exceeded his expectations. While he was strategizing in the Wanjian Pavilion, Tiger Chu, Qin Tianyu, and the others were also working hard to create a real business empire.
"Everyone is at the Qitian Peak, right?" Chu Xingyun asked Tiger Chu.
"Of course!" Tiger Chu immediately nodded and said excitedly, "If they know that Young Lord has returned, they will definitely be overjoyed. Over the past year, the Patriarch has been constantly thinking about you. Miss Yu Yan and Miss Qing Wu would often be lost in thought as they looked into the distance.
At this point, Tiger Chu suddenly stopped talking. He lowered his head with an embarrassed expression on his face.
However, Chu Xing Yun didn't mind at all. He maintained his faint smile.
He didn't ask further. He stood up and walked out.
When he saw Chu Xingyun walk out of the loft and disappear from his line of sight, Tiger Chu's expression froze. He originally thought that he would be able to hold his own after stepping into the Earth Spirit Realm, but Chu Xingyun's speed was too fast. He couldn't even catch a trace of him.
However, Tiger Chu didn't feel disappointed. Instead, he was excited.
In his eyes, Chu Xingyun was an existence that couldn't be surpassed. Even Lin Tianchong and Mowang Gong were below the latter. Only such a powerful and mysterious Chu Xingyun was the Young Master in his heart!
…
The changes at the Qitian Peak were huge. It could even be described as earth-shattering.
This thousand-meter-tall mountain was shrouded in spiritual mist. Pavilions and palaces stood as far as the eye could see. The arrangement of each building seemed messy, but in fact, it contained a mysterious aura, faintly exuding the aura of a spiritual array.
To the east was the Department of Heavenly Works.
There were palaces everywhere. If one got closer, they could hear continuous knocking sounds. The entire area was exuding a vigorous aura that made people feel as if they were rejuvenated.
This aura naturally came from the Heavenly Works Seal.
To the south was the Department of Heavenly Elixir.
Compared to the noisy Department of Heavenly Works, this place was especially quiet. However, the aura that filled the entire area was extremely hot. The fragrance of elixirs blended together. Even from far away, one could smell it clearly.
This hot aura came from the Ten Thousand Beast Fire.
As for the west and north, there were countless martial artists cultivating. Their bodies all exuded a vigorous aura that almost condensed into substance. It swept into the void and rushed into the clouds.
The existence of these three made the Qitian Peak seem like a holy land. Flowing lights were dense, and the aura was melodious. Although it couldn't be compared to the Ten Thousand Swords Peak, it still had a trace of charm.
At this moment, in the Soaring Cloud Palace, Mowang Gong and Lin Tianchong were playing chess.
Mowang Gong was wearing a navy blue robe. He had a faint smile on his face and looked relaxed. On the other hand, Lin Tianchong was dressed in tight clothes. His eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was solemn. His left hand that was holding a chess piece was raised high, but he didn't place it down.
"Senior Lin, your game is over," a beautiful woman said with a smile. A beautiful woman at the side said with a smile. Every movement of her eyes was filled with a myriad of flirtatious feelings. She was Qin Yuyan.
"Although Senior Lin is at a disadvantage, he still has a chance. As long as he grasps it well, he still has the power to fight." The other beautiful woman shook her head. Her voice was ethereal and her words were measured. She also had a faint smile on her face.
This beautiful woman was Xue Qingwu.
"As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game clearly. The two of you are only interfering with Senior Lin's judgment." The person who spoke was Chu Xingchen. Although his words were filled with blame, his expression was calm and amiable.
Between them, their identities were different and their cultivations were different. However, after experiencing life and death, they were like a family. They spoke naturally and without restraint.
"After thinking for so long, if you still can't think of a solution, I advise you to admit defeat," Mowang Gong said and looked at Lin Tianchong with a teasing gaze.
"Who said that I lost?"
Lin Tianchong snorted. His eyes were still staring at the chessboard. He said unhappily, "When playing chess, one should think carefully. How can one place a chess piece so casually?"
"Your game is over. Even if you can find a chance, you won't be able to turn the tables. I have already won this round." Mowang Gong rolled his eyes. His words made Lin Tianchong feel indignant. He looked at him and said, "That may not be true. If it is Chu Xingyun, he will definitely be able to find a breakthrough!"
At the mention of Chu Xing Yun's name, the expressions of the five people present all froze. Their faces all revealed expressions of longing.
Mowang Gong sighed and shook his head. He smiled and said, "Indeed, with Chu Xingyun's thoughts and strategies, he might be able to turn the tables. It is a pity that he is not here."
"Senior Mo has given me such a high evaluation. I am afraid I am not worthy of it!" At this moment, a voice floated over. Mowang Gong and Lin Tianchong were stunned.
Then, a figure stepped down from the void.
This figure was dressed in black and had an extraordinary temperament. On his devilishly handsome face, there was a trace of a faint smile. His magnificence was unparalleled, and he could be considered a world-shocking monster.
The gazes of the five people below suddenly froze. They were dumbstruck on the spot as they stared blankly at the figure of the youth that had appeared.
Especially Qin Yuyan and Xue Qingwu.
