Chapter 153 Moon City Chamber of Commerce Alliance
Chen Xiao's gains from this trip were considerable.
His cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm, the eighth level of the Red Cloud Realm. He also held the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, which was one of the top treasures even in Moon City. Although Chen Xiao said he would take care of Li Feng, he was only letting Li Feng take care of it. A large part of the profits would still go to Chen Xiao.
The biggest gain of the day was meeting Nalan Tingxue.
Although Chen Xiao couldn't discern anything from this, he made the Nalan Family Nalan Family understand a great deal. He made them realize that Chen Xiao had immense backing, and that he dared to directly confront the Artifact Venerable Nalan Clan, without yielding, thus deterring the Nalan Family from making any rash moves.
After all, Chen Xiao's grandmother Yue Tan, is currently under the control of the Nalan Family. If he shows any weakness in front of the Nalan Family, they may seize on this as leverage to blackmail him.
Once the Chen Clan yields, the alliance with the Mo Family will break down, leaving them in a predicament where they are caught between a rock and a hard place. No matter the outcome, the Chen Clan will be unable to survive, and even Moon-Gazing City will be reduced to ashes.
In other words, the fate of the Chen Clan is now entirely in their own hands.
Although Chen Xiao is about to become the Dao Master of the Glazed Dao Academy, he has little deterrent power against Lineage like the Artifact Venerable Nalan Clan.
After settling matters concerning the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, Chen Xiao didn't linger and returned directly to the City Lord's Mansion on the Crane Talisman.
If Chen Xiao were still there, it would simply be giving the Nalan Family an opportunity to act. After Red Capital be enfeoffed in Chen Tiannan. If the Nalan Family captured Chen Xiao, it would have the same effect on Chen Tiannan as imprisoning Yue Tan, only with an added burden.
In the courtyard of the Moon City Lord's Mansion, where Chen Xiao and Chen Tiannan lived, Chen Xiao sat cross-legged, his entire being in a meditative state.
" Golden Demon, you have taken a soul and a spirit from these people, making them my slaves."
Chen Xiao's divine sense entered the Golden Immortal Kingdom and spoke to the Golden Demon within.
Chen Xiao Void Immortal a total of ninety-two people, including three True Immortal True Immortal the rest were all Void Immortal at the Mahayana Realm, from the Wind-Driving Sect.
However, those Void Immortal were only sent to Moon City to manage shops because they lacked the potential to truly become immortals; otherwise, they would have been kept in the Wind-Driving Sect for intensive training long ago.
That's how it is in the Immortal World. In all the major Aristocratic Clan and sects, disciples who lack potential and aptitude are assigned to handle business matters.
Of course, this is not absolute.
Currently, regarding the matter of Mingyu Mountain, before the Nangong Clan takes out the Life Map and officially opens Mingyu Mountain, the major forces in the Immortal World are not allowed to send out immortals; their highest-level combat power is only a Second Tribulation Loose Immortal.
However, the Chen Clan is an exception. Now, Chen Xiao has suddenly gained three True Immortal and more than ninety Mahayana Realm Void Immortal, which is undoubtedly a godsend for the Chen Clan.
Whether it's the Blue Family, the Li Family, or Moon City, they are all restricted by this treaty and cannot directly send high-level combat forces to help the Chen Clan. However, since the Chen Clan has managed to send several high-level immortals to assist them, those other forces can't really say anything.
Moreover, these three True Immortal, working together, could completely suppress more than a dozen Loose Immortal of the same level. Loose Immortal are Loose Immortal —Loose Immortals. Without immortal light or Immortal Infant, they can never be a match for true immortals of the same level without the assistance of powerful Law Treasure.
As for powerful Law Treasure... it seems that Chen Xiao's Golden Immortal Kingdom has quite a few treasures; at least the Golden Demon has quite a lot of them.
The Golden Demon's immortal body was restored by the combined efforts of the six little ones, including Xianxian. He doted on the six little ones and held Chen Xiao in awe, becoming the old steward of the Golden Immortal Kingdom.
Now, having received Chen Xiao's instructions, Golden Demon did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed powerful Golden Immortal Power, instantly subduing the ninety-odd people from the Wind-Driving Sect. To Golden Immortal, a Void Immortal or True Immortal in the Mahayana Realm was undoubtedly an ant, and Golden Demon could easily subdue them.
After subduing them, the Golden Demon collected one of their souls and one of their spirits, condensed them into a sphere, and then absorbed it into his own body to suppress them.
This is a common method of acquiring servants in the Immortal World. Acquiring even a soul or spirit makes one a true slave with no status whatsoever. They wouldn't even resist if their master ordered them to commit suicide immediately.
However, this method is too cruel, and the major powers in the Immortal World rarely use it, though it does exist. If Chen Xiao's prediction is correct, once the major powers control Chen Xiao and Chen Tiannan, their method of control will be to extract one of their souls and one of their spirits, turning the father and son into obedient slaves.
After taking control of these Wind-Driving Sect immortals, Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, allowing them to cultivate in a separate space within the Golden Immortal Kingdom without them knowing where they were.
The Golden Immortal Kingdom is permeated with the Golden Immortal Power. The concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and immortal energy far surpasses that of the outside world. Even if a pig were sent here, it might be able to cultivate into an immortal.
Therefore, Chen Xiao left the mediocre He Wuhen and Ao Xie and other Tribulation Disciple here to cultivate. In the current situation, releasing them would be of no use and would only make them more vulnerable to harm, which would be a loss.
After the Golden Demon subdued the Wind-Driving Sect members, Chen Xiao calmed down and began to slowly absorb the Golden Immortal Power from the Golden Immortal Kingdom to nourish his physical body.
In his previous life, Chen Xiao, despite not receiving full support from a powerful force, was still able to reach the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm within fifty years, and was about to enter the Mahayana Realm. The main reason for this was that he absorbed the Golden Immortal Power from the Golden Immortal Kingdom to aid his cultivation.
However, in this life, Chen Xiao's Nine Heavens Thunder Virtue Universal Transformation Art was far too abnormal. Even the auxiliary cultivation effect of the Golden Immortal Power in the Golden Immortal Kingdom was weakened by 99%.
If Chen Xiao wants to cultivate now, the only way is to replenish his strength with a vast amount of Spiritual Qi or merit.
However, just now, Chen Xiao obtained the ' Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb ', which is the main ingredient for refining the seventh-grade immortal pill Kunyan Three-Origin Pill. As a seventh-grade immortal pill, Kunyan Three-Origin Pill has already entered the ranks of high-grade immortal pills. Its only effect is to increase the cultivation power of cultivators or immortals after five hundred years of hard work.
The amount of true essence or immortal essence gained over five hundred years depends on the cultivator's own level of power. In other words, the amount of true essence Chen Xiao can cultivate by sitting here in meditation for five hundred years will determine the amount of true essence this Kunyan Three-Origin Pill Chen Xiao provide for him.
However, the Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb Grass that Chen Xiao obtained had already reached the age of nine thousand years. Once the Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb reaches ten thousand years, its own efficacy will be equivalent to the Kunyan Three-Origin Pill.
Now, besides accelerating the cultivation of cultivators or immortals, the Golden Immortal Kingdom also has the ability to promote the growth of spiritual herbs and immortal medicines. Chen Xiao's idea of having those Immortal Infant cultivate and plant in the Golden Immortal Kingdom was not just a random thought.
At this time, Feng Xuan had already declared himself the chief manager of the Golden Immortal Kingdom's spirit medicine Garden, and all the spirit medicine were under his supervision. Feng Xuan's true form was the divine beast Fire Phoenix, who controlled the Purple Profound Heavenly Fire, and he was extremely skilled in both alchemy and weapon crafting.
Feng Xuan's natal magic Law Treasure is a celestial-grade Pill Furnace, which can be used for both alchemy and weapon forging.
In the center of this Golden Immortal Kingdom is a three-foot-three-inch-long, jet-black staff. This staff is also being nourished by the Golden Immortal Power. Its original primordial power, after being spurred on by the Golden Immortal Power, has the potential to become a celestial artifact.
This stick is the original form of the Staff Daoist was once a powerful figure in Chen Xiao's previous life. Now, Chen Xiao has erased its intelligence and is preparing to refine it into Second Primordial Spirit, External Incarnation.
However, Chen Xiao's cultivation level is currently only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm. Only when he reaches the Nascent Soul separation realm can he fuse his Nascent Soul with this stick and refine it into an avatar. Otherwise, he can only treat it like Law Treasure, and it is impossible for him to reach the standard of External Incarnation.
Chen Xiao's ability to refine External Incarnation was also learned from the Immortal Martial Sect in his previous life; this was a closely guarded secret of martial arts immortals.
Chen Xiao focused on his cultivation inside the Moon City Lord's Mansion, but the City Lord's Mansion was in an uproar.
The Moon City Commercial Association Alliance the largest merchant alliance in Moon City, comprising commercial institutions from all sects and Aristocratic Clan within a radius of 100,000 li.
Feng Tianyu reported what had happened to the Moon City Moon City Merchant Alliance, asking them to take charge.
After all, from beginning to end, the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion was in the right. First, their shop was smashed for no reason, then they were driven out, and finally, nearly a hundred of their disciples were robbed.
All of this happened in full view of everyone, and from any perspective, the Wind-Driving Sect is the victim.
" Moon City, what are your plans regarding this matter?"
The president of the Moon City Business Association was a short, stout old man whose cultivation had reached the High Immortal. At this moment, the president of the business association was looking at Yue Yao with a smile, but his tone carried a hint of reproach.
The power of the Moon City Commercial Association Alliance is only slightly less than that of the City Lord's Mansion. After all, this power represents the interests of all immortal forces within a radius of 100,000 miles. The president of this commercial association is fully qualified to be on equal footing with Yue Yao.
"My nephew's meaning is my meaning."
Yue Yao spoke in a flat tone, without even lifting her eyelids.
"So, Lord City Lord, you're not going to reason with us?"
Feng Tianyu asked somewhat aggrievedly. Now that he had the president of the Business Association backing him up, he was no longer afraid of anything. After all, this matter was too complicated. Once the Wind-Driving Sect withdrew from Moon City, it was very likely that the Liyang City would retaliate against them.
"Reason? Isn't this obvious? The Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion bullied my nephew, and my nephew argued his case, that's all."
Yue Yao's tone was devoid of any other emotion; it remained extremely indifferent from beginning to end.
"I wonder if Your Excellency could lure that young master out for an audience?"
The president of the business association began to speak.
" Fei Bo, go and call Chen Xiao here." Hearing the words of the Chamber of Commerce president, Yue Yao hesitated slightly, but finally spoke to Fei Bo, the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
Second update, I'm so heartbroken... Please help me again...
