Haifeng City
The Chamber of Commerce Through Wind and Rain.
A management conference had just been held, and a new round of personnel appointments had been approved.
Zhao Yushu was appointed as the vice president of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce.
And so, these young girls, who had just cultivated their True Qi and were not even eighteen years old, suddenly became the most important figures in the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce.
Not to mention the other branch presidents and management of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce, even Zhao Yushu herself found it hard to believe.
But soon, she made another connection to something else.
I more or less guessed why she was able to become the vice president of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce.
This is definitely not because of the recent restructuring of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce.
After the meeting, she immediately returned to her room, took out Star Shadow, and made contact with the Blue Light Society.
"Fang Jingyue, didn't you say that as Primordial Spirit True Lord, you have a noble status and wide circle of friends? And Yu Xiaoxiao, you always say in the Blue Light Society that your husband is obsessed with the new toys you bring out every now and then, and obeys your every command. What, you can't even afford to buy a quasi-Dao artifact-level protective treasure? And Xia Chu..."
In this "chat room," Zhao Yushu kept tagging the people who were bragging the most.
"Quasi-Dao artifacts are inherently dependent on the user, right? Why would I buy a quasi-Dao artifact that doesn't suit my Cultivation Method or attributes? What would my friends do with it? Especially defensive quasi-Dao artifacts."
Fang Jingyue couldn't help but speak up.
As for Yu Xiaoxiao, she simply pretended to be dead.
Xia Chu, however, was somewhat critical, saying, "There's no shortage of buyers for quasi-Dao artifacts anywhere, let alone defensive quasi-Dao artifacts. You bring them to our Blue Light Society to sell, claiming they're good items to be used internally, but who knows if this quasi-Dao artifact carries any trouble?"
"Yes, how can you, the vice president of a small chamber of commerce, be qualified to handle a defensive quasi-dao artifact? There's something wrong with it at first glance."
Fang Jingyue echoed.
"Xia Chu, Fang Jingyue!"
Before Zhao Yushu could refute, Jin Sixian couldn't help but say, "The purpose of our Blue Light Society is to help each other. I know about Zhao Yushu's quasi-Dao artifact. Although it needs to be modified before it can be used, it won't cause any major trouble. Your statement is far too malicious."
"Yes, defensive quasi-Dao artifacts are as valuable as true Dao artifacts. They are all strategic resources. Do you really think I can't sell them? As long as I make a trip to the capital, or even the twelve inner cities, there will be plenty of people scrambling to buy this quasi-Dao artifact! I sell it through the Blue Light Society based on the theory of internal consumption of good things. If you can't afford it, don't talk nonsense here."
Zhao Yushu followed up.
His tone carried a hint of anger.
Dao artifacts are often something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be obtained by other means.
Even saints don't necessarily all possess a Dao artifact.
If the Holy Dynasty hadn't absorbed the resources of sects from all over the world, the number of Dao artifacts and divine weapons wouldn't be so large.
Even so, some saints still sold their Dao artifacts to help their sect members settle down in the Holy Dynasty.
Without Dao artifacts, these saints could only seek to purchase quasi-Dao artifacts.
Therefore, there is no shortage of sellers for the quasi-road instrument.
Not to mention the rare defensive quasi-path devices.
At this moment, a somewhat unfamiliar avatar suddenly said, "I am unable to cross the distance between the two cities. If you are willing to deliver this quasi-Dao artifact to my door, I would like to buy it."
Zhao Yushu glanced at him.
Qi Yunxiao.
To ensure fairness and avoid suspicion between people that could affect unity, Blue Light Club has not set up functions such as private chat.
Moreover, everyone's profile picture is entered by Xingying, so there is no falsification involved.
This Qi Yunxiao...
She rarely saw him speak and didn't know what kind of person he was.
However, even if she gets to know everyone through chatting at Blue Light Club, how can she guarantee that everyone is trustworthy?
"You're buying it?"
Zhao Yushu couldn't help but ask, "The market price of defensive quasi-Dao artifacts is between 3 billion and 5 billion. This defensive quasi-Dao artifact is quite powerful. Although it needs to be modified before use, its price within our Blue Light Society reaches 4 billion. Do you want to buy it?"
"Hmm, if you're willing to deliver it, I'll buy it."
Qi Yunxiao added, "Furthermore, my request for the transaction to take place in Haifeng City is not because I don't trust you, but because I feel more at ease knowing that it's happening in this kind of place."
Haifeng City is one of the twelve inner ring cities.
Compared to the 36 cities in the outer ring, the cities in the inner ring offer greater security.
"I understand. I will give you a definite answer by this time tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Qi Yunxiao said something.
Seeing that Qi Yunxiao seemed genuinely intent on taking down the quasi-Dao artifact, the Blue Light Society members erupted in chaos.
"Holy crap, you can actually come up with 4 billion?! I'm bowing down in awe."
"Forty billion! If you gave me forty billion, I could use twenty billion of it for Cultivation Resources and quickly become a Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord. Then I could use another ten billion to buy a quasi-Dao artifact-level flying sword. Even Martial Kings would have to take a detour when they see me."
"Boss, are you in Haifeng City? Are you still hiring? I'm both sweet and salty, and well-behaved and sensible."
Immediately, members of the Blue Light Society, who were always chatting idly using Star Shadow, all came out.
Due to "survivorship bias," despite being considered human elites with exceptional mental talents and relying on the knowledge they acquired on Blue Star, they generally fared quite well here.
Faced with this enormous sum of four billion yuan, many people quickly lost their integrity and couldn't wait to flock to it and cling to its coattails.
"You flatter me, this four billion is all I have."
Qi Yunxiao said, then immediately added, "I have to get back to my training, Senior Sister Zhao. I'll be waiting for your reply tomorrow."
After saying that, he stopped talking.
This scene left everyone deeply moved.
"It seems we have quite a few hidden big shots here."
"Isn't that right? There are 121 people in the chat room. Although many of them don't speak for a long time, who can be sure that they don't look down on our small Blue Light Society and are too lazy to associate with us?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't start a fight, and don't try to morally blackmail us. Don't forget, the original purpose of the Blue Light Society is for us people from Blue Star to help each other."
With dozens of people representing dozens of different ideas, the chat room quickly descended into chaos.
Without the guidance of respected elders like Xingbieli and Chaojiuyin, these people from Blue Star were not as reserved in their speech as the locals.
After looking at it for a while and seeing that there was no important news, Zhao Yushu quickly put away the Star Shadow and asked Zhao Yang to help him make an appointment with Gu Jinlai.
These Gu Jinlai is rarely at the main district headquarters, so seeing him is not an easy task.
However, before Zhao Yang had left for long, Gu Jinlai arrived outside the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce.
He didn't enter the Chamber of Commerce. After sensing Zhao Yushu's presence, he directly transmitted his voice. "Tell Qi Yunxiao that I agreed. However, I need six days to deal with the matters at hand, and one day to travel there. I will arrive in Haifeng City in a week."
Zhao Yushu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Gu Jinlai must have been lurking in the Star Shadow during his free time to spy on the screen.
So I rushed over to say something after seeing her and Qi Yunxiao's conversation.
"I see."
As Zhao Yushu spoke, she tagged Qi Yunxiao in Star Shadow in response.
Qi Yunxiao quickly replied, "Then, Senior Zhao, or your people, I will contact you again after they arrive in Haifeng City."
"Good."
Zhao Yushu responded.
Outside the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce, Gu Jinlai watched Zhao Yushu and Qi Yunxiao finish their conversation and then transmitted his voice again, saying, "It's a bit inconvenient for me to go to the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce. I've offended quite a few people recently, and if I get too close to you, it might cause you trouble. It'll be fine after a while."
After a moment's thought, he added, "It could take as little as three months, or as long as half a year."
Zhao Yushu also knew that Gu Jinlai had been constantly eliminating the toxic forces in Fengyu City since taking office as the chief of the general region recently.
This crackdown on organized crime will inevitably affect the interests of many people, and it is definitely not as simple as imagined.
She immediately responded, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Gu. I will take good care of myself."
After saying that, she added, "I happen to have some questions about cultivation recently, so I'll go and ask President Yuhua Tower for some guidance."
Yuhua Tower...
A top-tier Celestial Person.
Zhao Yushu's safety could be ensured by staying by his side.
He nodded immediately. "Yes, I will tell Yuhualou."
The next day, Gu Jinlai met Yu Hualou at the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce.
Accompanying him were several other important figures from the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce, each of whom was either a top-tier or peak Martial King, or a Celestial Person Realm expert.
And the reason he came to the Wind and Rain Merchant Guild...
It was that Celestial Person from the Purple Thunder Chamber of Commerce, along with several boxes displayed in the Chamber's trading hall.
"Lord Gu, I have not failed you. All four hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold are here."
The Celestial Person from the Purple Thunder Merchant Guild bowed and said.
Yu Hua Lou also smiled and said, "We have collected a total of one hundred and ninety portions of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold. Please take a look, Lord Gu."
Those from Gu Jinlai have come forward to examine them one by one.
Soon, he nodded in satisfaction. "Five hundred and ninety portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold, the quantity is not lacking."
"I'm glad that Lord Gu is satisfied."
"The Celestial Person from the Purple Thunder Merchant Guild said with a smile."
At that moment, Gu Jinlai took out a box, which contained a number of Spirit Artifact, quasi-Dao artifacts, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"Gentlemen, please estimate the price and decide which one to take."
Gu Jinlai a simple gesture to guide others.
Looking at the things that Gu Jinlai out, Yu Hualou couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
These are all confiscated items obtained from dozens of searches Gu Jinlai two weeks.
Logically, 70% or even 80% of these items should be handed over to the City Lord Mansion. Gu Jinlai, only 20% or 30% could be kept for personal use. But now...
The Celestial Person of the Purple Thunder Merchant Guild paid no heed to all that and quickly selected goods worth 2.4 billion.
Seeing this, Yu Hua Lou reluctantly selected some Spirit Artifact and treasures as well.
He only hoped that a portion of the confiscated goods from Gu Jinlai would be enough to fill this huge hole.
