Zhang Family Generals, the Development of the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild

Luo Lingshuang's departure left Zhang Xuanchen feeling empty inside.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

It's not like we'll never see each other again.

The current priority should be to enhance our strength and transform our resources into the power to strengthen our Lineage.

Zhang Xuanli wiped away her tears and asked softly, "Seventh Brother, do you like Sister Shuang?"

Zhang Xuanchen nodded subconsciously.

"Like."

"Whether we can ultimately end up together depends on fate. After all, if she doesn't like me, it's no use."

"Sister Shuang definitely has feelings for you; I can tell."

Zhang Xuanchen smiled and said:

"Alright, let's not think about that anymore. The main thing now is to improve our strength. Without strength, talking about anything else is just wishful thinking."

Why do the people of Yunhua Immortal City treat the Zhang Family with such utmost respect?

That's because our Ancestor was Golden Core True Person!

You've never left your Lineage since childhood, so there might be some things you don't understand, but you'll get to know them soon.

Now, let's go to the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild.

"Good."

Zhang Xuanli nodded and followed.

In fact, she understood everything Zhang Xuanchen said, otherwise she wouldn't have been cultivating so diligently.

The Xuanxiao Merchant Guild is located in the heart of Yunhua Immortal City.

It is also the most prosperous area of Immortal City.

Those who can open shops here are at least properties under the control of Foundation Establishment forces.

The chamber of commerce occupies a considerable area, approximately four or five acres.

There are four floors in total, including the basement.

The first floor sells spiritual items needed for the Qi Refining Stage, while the second floor sells spiritual items for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The third floor is used for receiving distinguished guests and discussing cooperation matters.

How could they possibly sell Third Stage spiritual items when their own Lineage doesn't even have enough?

Zhang Xuanchen and his companion arrived at the entrance of the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild.

Two guards stood in front of the magnificent gate.

Their cultivation levels are all at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

They were not Lineage, but rather Rogue Cultivator recruited from outside.

Five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stone a month is quite a lot; enough to buy a First-Tier Superior-Grade pill.

They fought tooth and nail ahead, and if they were lucky, they might encounter rare spirit medicine, capture some rare Demon Beast cubs or Yao Beast Egg, and they could earn more than that.

However, if you're unlucky and encounter danger, using several Spirit Talisman might result in you getting injured and unable to earn a single Spirit Stone to buy Healing Pill.

It could even cost them their lives.

In contrast, becoming a guard for a Lineage is something most Rogue Cultivator desperately desire.

Safe and stable, plus a cozy bed with your wife and kids at night—who could resist?

Upon recognizing the person, the two guards quickly bowed.

"This humble servant greets Young Master Chen and Miss Li!"

Zhang Xuanchen knew these two men; one was named Chen Long, and the other Li Hu.

They all possess the Four Spiritual Roots and joined the Zhang Family General ten years ago through rigorous selection processes.

Five years ago, the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild was established, and the two of them started working in the Chamber.

However, his cultivation level was relatively low before, so he did odd jobs in the merchant guild.

I was transferred here as a gatekeeper after successfully reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining more than two years ago.

Don't think this is anything shameful.

On the contrary, this is a position that many people desire but cannot attain.

This represents the Zhang Family's reputation; even the Clan Leader and elders of Foundation Establishment Lineage wouldn't dare to show them any disrespect.

And sometimes, if you encounter a wealthy person, you can even get a substantial tip.

Therefore, the two of them lived a very prosperous and fulfilling life.

He was also extremely loyal and devoted to the Zhang Family.

After all, it's good to be under a big tree; they were even more afraid of something happening to the Zhang Family than the Zhang Family.

Zhang Xuanchen didn't put on any airs, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said:

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Your skills have improved a lot, that's great.

"Work hard, and I'll talk to Ninth Uncle later and ask him to give you a raise."

Chen Long and Li Hu were naturally familiar with the words "salary increase," and not only them, but everyone working at the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild understood what those two words meant.

A look of joy appeared on his face, and he patted his chest to assure them:

"Young Master Chen, rest assured, we will definitely not let you down!"

"Um."

Zhang Xuanchen nodded slightly, hummed in agreement, and went inside.

Making empty promises is a great way to motivate people, no matter where you are!

Zhang Xuanli imitated Seventh Brother's actions, looked at the two burly men who were almost two heads taller than him, stood on tiptoe, patted Chen Long and Li Hu on the shoulders, and smiled:

"Keep it up!"

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and skipped into the Chamber of Commerce.

It wasn't that she was short, but that Chen Long and Li Hu were too tall, both approaching 2.3 meters.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Li Hu sighed:

"Choosing to join the Zhang Family back then was truly the best decision I ever made in my life. Although not everyone in the Zhang Family is as kind as Young Master Chen."

But at the very least, give us the respect we deserve and our human rights.

I once had a friend who worked for Foundation Establishment Lineage. He would be beaten, humiliated, and denied Spirit Stone for even the slightest mistake.

Tsk tsk tsk, that was truly tragic.

Hearing this, Chen Long chimed in, "Who can argue with that?"

Look at Miss Li, she's beautiful inside and out. I wonder if my son will have a chance to marry into the Zhang Family.

Li Hu: "If we have the opportunity, as long as we do our job well, our descendants may actually be able to marry into the Zhang Family. Look at Old Man Liu's son, isn't that what happened?"

His son caught the eye of a young lady from the Zhang Family and is now the manager of the branch in Xuanxiao Market Town.

They're living a very comfortable life.

As long as we do our jobs well, our descendants will definitely have opportunities too!

Upon entering the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild, one is immediately greeted by a variety of spiritual items.

These spiritual beings are all clearly categorized.

The area is divided into sections for spirit medicine, Law Artifacts, elixirs, talismans, ores, spirit beasts, Law Technique Cultivation Method, and spells.

The Spirit Beast Zone not only contains tamed Demon Beast, but also Demon Beast cubs and demon Demon Beast cores.

Each area has dedicated reception staff.

We guarantee to provide our guests with a positive experience.

"Wow, it's been two years since I last visited, Xuanxiao Merchant Guild has become so popular?"

Zhang Xuanli looked at the guests coming and going in the Chamber of Commerce, her face full of emotion.

He had come here with Zhang Xuanchen two years ago, which was also the third year of the Chamber of Commerce. Although the exquisite and unique decorations, along with the Lineage's vigorous promotion, attracted many people at that time.

But it's absolutely incomparable to what it is now.

Looking at the lively scene around him, Zhang Xuanchen was extremely satisfied.

It seems that Ninth Uncle does indeed have a knack for business, and he has implemented the various welfare policies he prepared.

For example, spending 500 Spirit Stone will give you a free First-grade Low-tier talisman.

Spend 1,000 Spirit Stone to receive a free mid- First-grade Mid-tier Healing Pill, etc.

The business skills he had acquired in his previous life were enough to allow the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild to quickly establish itself.

However, this is only a foothold. To sustain large-scale development, one needs strength and high-quality spiritual items.

"Oh? Seventh Brother! When did you get back? And Ninth Sister, you're here too."

Not long after Zhang Xuanchen and Zhang Xuanli entered the Chamber of Commerce, they were noticed by two young men dressed in brocade robes.

Zhang Xuanchen looked in the direction of the sound and laughed:

"Second Brother, Sixth Brother, you're both here."
