"Boom!"
The blazing white light illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the violent energy tore through the atmosphere, forming visible white shockwaves that swept in all directions.
In the raging flames and intense heat, hundreds of Demonic Beasts, like carbonized sculptures, were instantly pulverized by the shockwave, vanishing without even a chance to scream.
Under the intense heat and blast of air, two figures flew out from inside at an extremely fast speed.
One of them was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a smile on his face.
The other was a girl who looked to be under twenty, her pretty face filled with horror, clinging tightly to the man's arm.
These were Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu, who had come from Fengyu City and were heading to Haifeng City.
Neither of them rode any flying beasts.
Gu Jinlai, people have directly used chaotic celestial bodies to stimulate their own magnetic fields and draw upon the magnetic fields of stars to travel.
Just like a maglev train.
The reason he chose to fly all the way from Wind and Rain City on his own was that, firstly, he consumed almost no energy when using this method to travel, making it much easier than for Celestial Person.
On the other hand, he didn't want to leave a record of renting warbirds at the zoo.
In addition, he also planned to take advantage of the flight to familiarize himself with the Lightning Domain and the Chaotic Star Body, which was nearing completion.
With many Celestial Person, martial saints, and saints watching from within the Wind and Rain City, he couldn't unleash his full power, especially the power of the Eternal Furnace, which shouldn't be exposed.
After all, he wasn't confident enough to kill Jin Fantian, a peak Saint.
It can be found in the wilderness...
Just like now.
Upon seeing a group of Demonic Beasts, it's like bombarding them with a nuclear cannon.
Then, taking a deep breath to replenish his strength, he would unleash another nuclear bomb when the next wave of Demonic Beasts appeared.
That kind of joyful feeling reminds people from Gu Jinlai, and how exhilarating that was.
"Learn from... senior..."
Zhao Yushu blinked at Gu Jinlai, unable to utter a word.
"It's just a kind of energy application similar to a tactical nuclear weapon, so stay calm."
Gu Jinlai patted her head and gently comforted her.
Tactical nuclear weapon!?
A man-made tactical nuclear weapon!?
She knew long ago that Gu Jinlai very powerful. Based on some information she had gathered from the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce, as well as the attitudes of Yu Hualou and Yu Shaoqin, she estimated that he was already among the strongest people after the thirteen giants.
Hearing about something is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.
Energy comparable to a tactical nuclear bomb can be released at will!?
Scary.
That's terrifying.
If he returned to Blue Star with that kind of firepower, he could probably sweep through more than 90% of the countries single-handedly.
"It's a pity I didn't activate the recording function of the Demon Slayer's identity card. Otherwise, the four Demonic Beasts gathering places I wiped out along the way would have helped me accumulate a lot of contribution points."
There have been some regrets Gu Jinlai.
Zhao Yushu clung tightly to him, watching the ground rushing past beneath her feet, too frightened to move.
Haifeng City.
One of the twelve cities within the inner ring.
Compared to Fengyu City, Haifeng City is more prosperous and stable because it is located in the inner ring.
Although the population is less than that of Wind and Rain City, only 80 million, that is because the first people who fled to the Holy Dynasty came into contact with the thirty-six outer cities.
Truly capable Celestial Person, saints, and immortals, after understanding the specific situation of the Holy Dynasty, often bypass the thirty-six outer cities and go straight to the twelve inner cities, or even head to the capital.
That is the true center of the Holy Dynasty.
In order to secure enough territory and benefits in this new land, these major powers that have preserved their strength will naturally want to get a share of the pie in the center of the Holy Dynasty.
In this situation, Haifeng City, with a population of only 80 million, is wealthier than Fengyu City, with a population of 110 million.
When Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu arrived in this city, they could clearly sense this.
The shops and commercial streets of Haifeng City, the clothing and attire of pedestrians, and many other details all reflect the differences between Haifeng City and Fengyu City.
"Senior, I just contacted Qi Yunxiao, and he asked us to meet at Xiansheng Building."
Zhao Yushu took out the Star Shadow and glanced at it.
"Xiansheng Tower".
I learned a little about Haifeng City from Gu Jinlai to the present.
Xianshenglou is quite famous here. It is a large restaurant that integrates leisure, entertainment, dining and accommodation, similar to Deyuelou. It is said that a Celestial Person once observed the constant flow of people here and was moved by it. He then developed an indestructible will and became a saint three years later. Therefore, it is called Xianshenglou.
Based on this connection, the owner of Xianshenglou offered shares and ingratiated himself with the saint. With this background, Xianshenglou grew into a major player in the outer city of Haifeng City, becoming almost a landmark in the outer city.
After Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu arrived at Xiansheng Tower, they went to a private room.
When the door was opened, Qi Yunxiao and an old man were already waiting there.
Gu Jinlai glanced at the two of them.
They quickly determined the cultivation levels of the two individuals.
Primordial Spirit True Lord, Celestial Person.
It's not clear which level it is.
"Qi Yunxiao? Hello, I am Zhao Yushu, and this is also a member of our Blue Light Society, named Gu Jinlai."
Zhao Yushu stepped forward to greet Qi Yunxiao.
The portraits of all the members of the Blue Light Society were taken of True Person, and the two of them were able to recognize Qi Yunxiao immediately.
Hello, hello.
Qi Yunxiao quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "This is my senior, Qi Sheng. Since this involves a transaction worth billions, I dare not carry so much money and resources on my own. Please forgive me, Senior Gu and Senior Zhao."
"I understand."
Zhao Yushu nodded immediately.
Gu Jinlai glanced at Qi Yunxiao and said, "Among the members of the Blue Light Society, only Fang Jingyue has revealed his cultivation level as a Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord. But now it seems that this is not the case. Junior Brother Qi Yunxiao's cultivation level is no lower than his."
"Primordial Spirit True Lord?"
Zhao Yushu looked at Qi Yunxiao with some surprise. "Are you Primordial Spirit True Lord?"
"Although I am Primordial Spirit True Lord, I have only been in this realm for a short time. How can I compare with Senior Fang?"
Qi Yunxiao appeared very modest.
Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Although the Blue Light Society is composed of people from Blue Star, they come from all over the world and there is not much trust between them. It is understandable that some people hide their identities and origins.
He immediately said, "Then let's make the deal directly."
As he spoke, he took out a box about half a meter long from the bundle on his body.
Eight crystal-like objects are placed in this box.
Immediately, Qi Yunxiao and Qi Sheng couldn't help but lean forward.
"Excuse me."
Qi Sheng cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Jinlai and picked up the quasi-Dao artifact.
He had already realized that of the two people before him, Gu Jinlai was the one who would make the decision.
Zhao Yushu...
It's probably just a contact person they brought out because they're inconvenient to show their face in person Gu Jinlai.
Qi Sheng was verifying this quasi-Dao artifact.
Before long, eight rhomboid crystals flew up and spun around his body.
He sensed it carefully for a moment, checked it one by one, and finally nodded.
Seeing this, Qi Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out several jade pendants that resembled gold coins from his person.
Gu Jinlai.
This is the largest denomination of currency in the Holy Dynasty Bank, primarily made of jade, and contains a significant amount of immortal refined gold.
This gold and jade piece has a face value equivalent to one hundred million taels.
Qi Yunxiao took out forty coins directly.
Gu Jinlai at him and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
A Primordial Spirit True Lord, accompanied by a Celestial Person, actually managed to produce currency equivalent to forty billion taels of silver—this is truly...
You can't judge a book by its cover.
"Please check and verify."
Qi Yunxiao said.
Gu Jinlai nodded, took out forty gold and jade coins and examined them one by one. After a moment, he nodded. "The money and goods are settled. This quasi-Dao artifact is yours."
The transaction was successfully completed, and Qi Yunxiao and Qi Sheng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Qi Yunxiao hosted a feast for Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu.
Several hours later, the two sides parted ways.
"This senior Qi is really rich..."
After leaving the Xiansheng Tower, Zhao Yushu sighed with emotion.
"Everyone has their own fortuitous opportunity, and Qi Yunxiao is no exception."
This Gu Jinlai.
He had just seen that Qi Sheng wasn't carrying the box containing the Yakumo Crystal.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen.
One possibility is that he threw the box away, and another...
They possessed storage treasures similar to the Qiankun Ring.
And the treasure for storing items...
It has at least the same value as a Dao artifact.
However, firstly, they are all members of the same Blue Star, and Gu Jinlai, they are not the kind of people who lack morality, so they would not do anything to plunder because they are envious of the treasure in his possession.
"Alright, let's go to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce."
This Gu Jinlai.
Zhao Yushu nodded vigorously.
The two quickly entered Haifeng City and headed towards Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, one of the four largest chambers of commerce in Haifeng City.
Unlike Zilei City and Fengyu City, which has already achieved commercial unification, commerce in Haifeng City is not controlled by any merchant guild. Even the four major merchant guilds are only the most famous in Haifeng City and are far from forming a monopoly.
There are more than a dozen chambers of commerce that are slightly smaller than them.
And it is precisely because of this flourishing situation that Haifeng City's commerce is quite prosperous.
Upon Gu Jinlai immediately revealed his cultivation level and was invited to the VIP room.
When a Spirit Refining Realm deacon came to greet him personally, Gu Jinlai directly stated his request. "I need two hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold. Can the Cloud Sea Chamber of Commerce obtain them?"
"Two hundred pieces of thunder magnet gold!?"
The Spirit Refining Realm deacon gasped in shock. "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. I will immediately inquire on your behalf. Please trust the capabilities of the Cloud Sea Chamber of Commerce; we will certainly not disappoint you."
Gu Jinlai, they have shown great patience.
Two hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold is no small amount.
If Haifeng City had a super-large merchant guild similar to the Purple Thunder Merchant Guild or the Wind and Rain Merchant Guild, providing two hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold wouldn't be difficult. Now...
Within minutes, a Primordial Spirit True Lord entered and greeted Gu Jinlai with a bow, "Distinguished guest, your arrival is timely. Recently, there has been a significant demand for Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold in several outer cities. Our Yunhai Chamber of Commerce has just received a batch of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold, which we intend to sell in the outer cities. We currently have a total of 260 units of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold. We can meet your request, but as for the price..."
"Several cities on the outer ring road have a large demand for magnetic alloys..."
His expression Gu Jinlai.
If he's not mistaken, the reason for the so-called "high demand" should be related to him.
