"Hundred Treasures Pavilion was one of the many merchant guilds in Bai Zhang Market. Its main business was likewise the trade of resources between cultivators."
"Using such precious spirit materials to construct a trading tower was itself a way of displaying its foundations to the many cultivators, making it easier to win their recognition."
"In this vast Bai Zhang Market, Hundred Treasures Pavilion was not the only merchant guild that did so."
After explaining softly, Su Shi'er turned his head and surveyed his surroundings.
Across the plaza, Wan Bao Tower stood opposite them, its building materials even more precious.
As for the buildings of the other merchant guilds, they were somewhat inferior compared to these two.
Slowing his pace slightly, Su Shi'er could not help but muse inwardly.
It seems that over these past several centuries, Hundred Treasures Pavilion has truly developed quite well in Bai Zhang Market.
By now, it has actually reached such a scale!
Then again, Nangong Yi has a close relationship with Yu Lingling, and Yu Lingling now holds no small position in the Duobao Merchant Guild.
With Yu Lingling secretly supporting it, it would be difficult for Hundred Treasures Pavilion to fare poorly even if it wanted to.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Su Shi'er knew full well that Nangong Yi and Yu Lingling must have considerable private dealings of mutual interest.
This was commonplace in the Cultivation World.
Especially in markets centered on trade, strength was only one aspect. Connections, resources, profit, and the ability and means to conduct transactions were all crucial factors as well.
As for whether the growth and expansion of Hundred Treasures Pavilion would impact the Duobao Merchant Guild led by Yu Lingling—
Even without taking part in any management, Su Shi'er could understand it clearly.
