Sales Meeting

Green Swan Market is famous for trading spirit beasts and belongs to the Liang Family.

This family is most famous for raising a mythical beast called the Azure Goose Bird.

This kind of spirit beast can carry people when it is at the first level, and if it grows up, it can even carry cargo.

In the Sky River Realm, many Rogue Cultivator dream of owning a Azure Goose Bird, because it would grant them the ability to fly through the sky while Qi Refining.

The Liang Family has two Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the Divine Wood Sect: Liang Yanyou, the Deputy Minister of the Spirit Beast Department, and Liang Lingzhen.

Among them, Chen Mobai and Liang Lingzhen relationship. Both of them were Inspector Envoy of the Reward Hall and were also among the Foundation Establishment Cultivator followed Chu Zuoshu to fight at the top of Mountain Shaking Peak.

Liang Lingzhen was also among those who practiced the Eight Gate Green Light Formation.

The current patriarch of the Liang Family is named Liang Jinggui. He is of extremely high seniority and has lived for over two hundred years. He is the oldest Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Jian Country.

That's why he's called Old Ghost Liang.

Chen Mobai naturally treated him with the respect due to a junior, and after Liang Jinggui exchanged a few polite words, he accepted it without hesitation.

"Nephew Chen is a young talent. I had heard Lingzhen say that he was talented, and seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Despite his white hair, Liang Jinggui's voice was still full of energy. He waved his hand, and immediately a graceful female cultivator presented Chen Mobai with a Spirit Beast Pouch.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. This is the one with the strongest bloodline fluctuation among the recent batch of Azure Goose Bird hatched by our Liang Family. Consider it a gift for my nephew."

Chen Mobai exchanged a few polite words, then accepted the gift without further delay.

Since the Spirit Beast Pouch couldn't be stored in his storage bag, Chen Mobai couldn't very well hang it on his waist right away. So he handed it to Luo Yixuan, who was standing to the side, so that she could ask the young female cultivator from the Liang Family how to control the Azure Goose Bird.

Chen Mobai, along with Liu Wenbai, discussed with Liang Jinggui the matter of renting a shop in Green Swan Market.

Within the Jian Country, the name of the Divine Wood Sect was still very useful. As the guardian for the next ten years, Chen Mobai was treated with great respect even by the Fu Family, who had direct access to the ancestor, not to mention the Liang Family.

"Nephew, there's a Sales Meeting being held by the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association in Tiankui Market. There are quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivator there. Wang Gongdao invited us to exchange information about the pills, spiritual items, and other resources we have. Would you like to come along?"

After inspecting the shops and disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in Green Swan Market, Liang Jinggui suggested that he travel with Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai naturally nodded in agreement, but indicated that he needed to visit the Guo Family again before he could set off.

"The Guo Family? Ever since Madam Guo mysteriously disappeared, their situation has been deteriorating. If it weren't for Guo Bonian in the Five Elements Sect, they would probably have been wiped out by those powerful Rogue Cultivator long ago."

Liang Jinggui is clearly very concerned about his neighbors.

Chen Mobai knew that when the Void Stone Mine was discovered, the upper echelons of the Divine Wood Sect had already decided to destroy the Guo Family. If Meng Hong hadn't been concerned about the great impact, the Guo Family would probably have been gone long ago.

"I wonder what the background of the Guo Family is?"

Chen Mobai asked Liang Jinggui, who was standing next to him.

"Years ago, when we were still the Five Elements Sect, Madam Guo and the guardian of the Jian Country became Daoist partners. This Jian Guo Town Guardian was named Ying Chang, and he was Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Earth Meridian at that time."

"Later, our Divine Wood Sect split off and occupied this land for the founding of the Jian Country. Ying Chang, for the sake of his wife and children, did not leave. Instead, he switched allegiance to the Wood Meridian."

"Later, Ying Chang took the place of the Divine Wood Sect in battle. He encountered his fellow Earth Meridian disciple on the front line and was killed by the latter's mutually destructive spell. He died for the Divine Wood Sect, so there are ten shops belonging to the Guo Family in Green Swan Market."

Liang Jinggui knows the Guo Family inside and out.

Of the ten shops, the Guo Family now only has six left, and even those six are under negotiation for transfer.

The family that is about to take over is the Liang Family.

"The Guo Family's most valuable asset is a jade mine, where they can occasionally find some associated Spirit Stone. I'm currently working with several other major forces in Green Swan Market to see if we can take over this jade mine as well."

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised after hearing Liang Jinggui's words.

"Oh, has the Guo Family fallen so low as to sell their ancestral property?"

He had heard of the Guo Family's Gold Jade Mine, and the Gold Jade Axe in his hand was made from materials from that mine.

Every year, some rare Third Grade gold and jade materials can be mined, and this can continue for decades, with a value of at least Wan Ling.

"Without Foundation Establishment Cultivator to oversee things, the Guo Family wouldn't be able to hold onto such a large fortune. However, this is also Guo Bonian's idea. After the Guo Family sells all of Jian Country Guo's properties and obtains a huge amount of Spirit Stone, they can move the whole family to the Five Elements Sect Sect's territory. They might not necessarily live any worse than here."

After hearing Liang Jinggui's words, Chen Mobai suddenly realized what was going on.

However, according to his speculation, the Divine Wood Sect was probably also involved in this behind the scenes.

After all, it's not easy to openly exterminate the Guo Family, but it's quite possible to take advantage of the fact that there are no Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge, and use forces like the Liang Family to drive the Guo Family out of the Jian Country's territory, and then find a way to eliminate them.

Just by looking at Liang Jinggui in front of Chen Mobai, making no attempt to hide the fact that he was annexing the Guo Family's assets, one can tell that he had at least received a hint from within the Divine Wood Sect.

Chen Mobai simply invited Liang Jinggui to go to the Guo Family together.

The Guo Family was clearly unprepared for his arrival and were somewhat flustered. After a long while, three elders at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer came out and respectfully welcomed the two in.

"The stability of the Cultivation World in Jian Country cannot be achieved without any of the Seven Great Families. I heard that your Guo Family has been having some difficulties recently, so I came here specifically to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Chen Mobai's words were impeccable, Guo Family's Great Elder was deeply moved, recounting his family's recent difficulties.

"Hong Chang of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the powerful Dou Yewang have attacked our clan's Array Formation several times."

"One said that our Guo Family's jade business prices are too high, leaving no way for Rogue Cultivator to make a living; the other said that one of his disciples got lost nearby, and that our Guo Family members were greedy for money and killed his disciple, and asked us to open the Array Formation and let him search."

"It's obvious that they're trying to seize our Guo Family's mines and Spirit Land now that the clan leader is missing!"

As the Great Elder of the Guo Family spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears. When had the Guo Family ever suffered such injustice before?

"What are the backgrounds of Hong Xu and Dou Yewang?"

Chen Mobai didn't really know these two people, so he asked Liang Jinggui beside him.

"The Rogue Cultivator Alliance is an organization that came from the Eastern Lands. Its purpose is to create a pure land for Rogue Cultivator under the rule of the Great Sect sects, so as to prevent all the spiritual pills and medicines from being occupied by the major forces and arbitrarily priced. Although the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in the Eastern Wasteland is not a big deal, it has absorbed a lot of cultivators. Hong Xu is one of the leaders of the Rogue Cultivator in the Jian Country, with a cultivation level of the mid- Foundation Establishment stage."

"Dou Yewang started as a Tribulation cultivator. He was very lucky and obtained a Foundation Establishment after killing a Qi Cultivation Disciple. After Foundation Establishment, he became more restrained, but he still gathered a group of Tribulation cultivators under his command and often robbed small sects and forces that did not have Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge."

After Liang Jinggui finished speaking, Chen Mobai slapped his thigh hard.

"Those who rob and plunder are the black sheep of the group. If Dou Yewang dares to cause trouble like this again, you should tell him to come to the Divine Wood Sect to find me. As for Hong Xu, I feel that he has deviated from the original intention of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. It is necessary to correct his thinking. When I meet him, I will have a good talk with him."

Chen Mobai's words deeply moved the Guo Family's Great Elder, who, upon seeing him off, directly slipped him a storage bag.

"Sigh, I can't accept a reward without merit. After I deal with Hong Xu and Dou Yewang, if Elder Guo wants to express his gratitude, I will definitely accept it without hesitation."

With Liang Jinggui looking on incredulously, Chen Mobai refused the Spirit Stone offered by the Guo Family and left with Liu Wenbai.

"Nephew, the Guo Family has recently sold off a lot of properties and accumulated a lot of Spirit Stone. What they are giving you may very well be a great gift."

On the way back, Liang Jinggui reminded him, lest Chen Mobai miss out on such a large sum of extra income.

"Clan Chief Liang, you don't need to worry about my upright character. However, if I accept the Spirit Stone from the Guo Family, then I must resolve this matter properly for them, otherwise I will feel guilty. As for the Guo Family, they are not worthy of my attention."

Although Chen Mobai was not a cultivator of the Mindset Stream, he still valued being upright and honorable.

From a young age, his grandfather taught him that accepting gifts and doing favors are transactions that require the utmost trust. If you accept a gift but fail to fulfill your obligation, you must return the gift. Otherwise, this will become a loophole for your future advancement, and it may even be the last gift you receive.

Liang Jinggui seemed to be deep in thought about this, and his opinion of Chen Mobai rose again.

The next day, they went to Tiankui Market together.

Seven people from the Liang Family went there, seemingly to purchase goods at Tiankui Market.

Chen Mobai, his two disciples, and Liang Jinggui sat together on a giant Second Grade Azure Goose Bird. There was even a pavilion there. They drank tea and talked in the clouds and mist, truly displaying the demeanor of immortals.

"I heard that there is a recipe for a Cartilage Softening Pill at the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association of Commerce's Sales Meeting. If you can win the bid, it will allow low-level spirit beasts to speak."

The Starry Skies Great Merchant Association is a super Great Sect within the Dongyue Realm, the Starry Skies Dao Sect's chamber of commerce. It has long been traveling between the Six Realms of the Eastern Domain, exchanging goods and earning countless Spirit Stone.

This Sales Meeting is a unique form of auction in the Sky River Realm, where attendees do not show their faces.

The guild displays its resources, such as elixirs and magical Magic Artifact, and all cultivators can come in to visit after paying the entry Spirit Stone.

If you find something you like, you can tell the person in charge of the chamber of commerce your price.

After the Sales Meeting ends, the merchant guild will compare all the bids and then privately notify the cultivator who offered the highest price to come and pay the Spirit Stone to collect the goods.

The advantage of this method is that some cultivators will fill in a very high price to ensure that they can get the spiritual items they need, and the merchant guild guarantees with its own reputation that it will never reveal to outsiders who bought the items.

At least, in the Eastern Wasteland, there is no sect that can make the Starry Skies Dao Sect bow down.

Most cultivators welcome such Sales Meeting.

After all, there are too many cultivators who have robbed the Eastern Wasteland. As long as it can be kept secret, the security is greatly improved.

The Cartilage Softening Pill that Liang Jinggui wanted was a pill formula that came from Eastern Li. Its main purpose was to help Demon Beast open their throat bones so that they could speak when they reached the first Second Grade level.

However, this pill formula is a genuine Second Grade high-grade pill, which is quite expensive, and there are probably many people vying for it.

Therefore, Liang Jinggui personally went to the scene to observe whether there were any competitors in the field of beast taming, and to see if they could cooperate without bidding against each other. At worst, they could all make a copy after the auction.

Of course, if the price is too low, the Chamber of Commerce has the right not to sell.

"At this Sales Meeting, cultivators can also entrust their items to the merchant guild for appraisal. The merchant guild will then provide a price. If the acquisition is successful, they will take the spiritual items collected from the Eastern Wasteland to the neighboring Eastern Wu or Eastern Yi Region to hold Sales Meeting. In any case, it's a sure thing to make a profit."

Chen Mobai was very interested in the Sales Meeting, so Liang Jinggui talked about it at length.

The speed of the Azure Goose Bird was even faster than Chen Mobai had imagined. In just two days, they arrived at Tiankui Market.

Unexpectedly, in addition to them, two other Foundation Establishment Cultivator also arrived at the same time.

"The Tang Siblings."

Liang Jinggui clearly recognized the two people; the man had a gloomy face and wore a black headscarf, while the woman was glamorous and dressed in flamboyant attire.

Upon seeing the giant Azure Goose Bird in the sky, the Tang Siblings knew who it was. Without saying hello, they landed and went straight into Tiankui Market.

Are these two Rogue Cultivator?

Chen Mobai's Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye immediately noticed that the two people were quite powerful, both being in the mid- Foundation Establishment stage, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"They are bandits from the Snow Country who frequently come to our Jian Country's markets to sell their stolen goods, seemingly through the Rogue Cultivator Alliance."

After Liang Jinggui finished speaking, he called for the Azure Goose Bird to land. A member of the Liang Family was already waiting at the entrance of the market. After putting the Azure Goose Bird into his Spirit Beast Pouch, they went inside together.

"Take us to the Sales Meeting first."

Although Liang Jinggui is old, he still does things with great efficiency.

"Yes, Ancestor."

The person in charge of the Liang Family in Tiankui Market immediately led them toward their destination.

Starfall Street! Looking Sales Meeting the three characters on a stone tablet at the entrance of the Tiankui Market, Chen Mobai couldn't help but nod slightly.

"For this Sales Meeting, the Wang Family patriarch emptied out ten shops in the city center and rented them to the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association. The spiritual items displayed in each shop have different attributes."

Listening to the Liang Family family steward's introduction, Chen Mobai led his two curious disciples into the Starfall Street street.

Each shop had a hanging plaque at its entrance, with the characters for gold, wood, water, fire, earth, strange, elixir, beast, formation, and wonder written on it.
