Great Qian's Rules
"The Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change?" Bai Zongyi's heart skipped a beat. There were only a few people in the Crimson Cloud Bai Family who had reached the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change. Moreover, based on some events from back then, this person might even be a master of the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change.
It's simply unbelievable that a Divine Platform Cultivator could achieve such cultivation in just a few decades. It seems that the previous speculation that the experts in this within the Exquisite World might be from the Cultivation World was completely wrong.
Bai Zongyi then asked a few more questions, but Bai Jianfei didn't know much about them.
All he knew came from Bai Xianghui, but over the years, he was so angry at Bai Xianghui for betraying the Lineage that he refused to talk to him. Later, Bai Xianghui came less and less often, and now he regretted not having investigated more information back then.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time. Bai Zongyi noticed the irreparable scars on Bai Jianfei's body from the Flame, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed softly, "You've suffered so much these past years."
The two then left through the Formation of the Purple Nether Realm.
Having his whereabouts exposed, it was impossible for him to gather any more information. Moreover, Bai Zongyi felt that he had likely been betrayed by the people of the Purple Nether Realm, so he dared not use this route to enter again. Bringing back Bai Jianfei was already the greatest gain for him.
Moreover, in his view, the Qian Yuan Realm's willingness to release Bai Jianfei was because they did not want to incur enmity with the Crimson Cloud Bai Family, and the information they obtained was sufficient to report back to their clan.
This matter concerns the Celestial Person and the human realm. He is merely Void Heaven and dares not act rashly. At this moment, he only wants to take this information back and let the clan Clan Elder make a decision.
Bai Zongyi's departure did not affect the Trading Company's schedule.
Crown Prince Li Guanrong led a delegation of court officials to Yunxi Mountain to discuss relevant matters with a group of Trading Company.
With the Qian Yuan Realm and the Exquisite World merging, these Trading Company are especially important. Each Boundary Domain the Exquisite World has its own unique treasures, many of which are things that the Qian Yuan Realm, which has only recently embarked on the path of cultivation, does not possess.
And these things require the help of these Trading Company that are spread across various Boundary Domain.
For these Trading Company and chambers of commerce, a Newborn Boundary Domain market is also extremely important.
However, what they did not expect was that the Qian Yuan Realm's attitude was unprecedentedly tough, leading to constant conflicts during the discussions.
For example, the Great Qian Dynasty takes 40% of the profits from the Chamber of Commerce, and the accounts in the Qian Yuan Realm must be submitted to the Imperial Court for review on a regular basis.
The Chamber of Commerce must have at most two Cultivator at the Void Heaven Realm stationed in the Great Qian, and at least 70% of the personnel employed by the Chamber of Commerce must be from the Great Qian Dynasty.
Goods entering and leaving the teleportation array must be listed in the ledger and inspected by the Ministry of Revenue of the Great Qian Dynasty. If there is any discrepancy between the ledger and the goods, they will be seized directly.
There were also various laws and regulations governing these business associations, and so on, which completely applied the secular Imperial Court's system to these merchant guilds.
For powerful forces like the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce and the Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower, this was intolerable, and they immediately started making a scene.
Di Jun, the leader of the Kirin Chamber of Commerce, angrily retorted, "This is outrageous! If this continues, then my Kirin Merchant House in the Qian Yuan Realm might as well not come at all!"
Li Guanrong coldly replied, "Since you wish to do business in my Qian Yuan Realm Qian Yuan Realm, you must abide by its rules. Since this Daoist Friend has spoken, guards, escort this Daoist Friend away!"
Ji Dai immediately stepped forward. "Daoist Friend, let's go."
Di Jun stood up in a rage, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and his aura of Void Heaven surged forth. "How dare a mere Divine Platform Cultivator speak to me like that?"
"The Qian Yuan Realm is not a place for you to run wild!" Ji Dai said calmly, but he directly activated the Realm Token, and a Great Bell pressed down on Di Jun.
"You're courting death!" A Jian Fei from Di Jun's body, and his Void Heaven Domain expanded.
But the next second, a bell rang out, and he felt his Divine Soul tremble. He lost control of the Flying Sword, his Physical Body froze, and the Great Bell trapped him inside.
Liao Xu from the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce immediately narrowed his eyes.
Heavenly Human Treasure!
With the help of the Realm Token, a Cultivator at the Divine Platform Peak Realm instantly subdued a Great Cultivator at the mid-stage of the Void Heaven Middle Realm.
This scene sent a chill down the spines of all the Void Heaven Cultivator present.
Li Guanrong smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry, I won't take his life for this. However, the Kirin Chamber of Commerce Guild should not come to the Qian Yuan Realm again. He is not welcome here. Senior Ji, please escort him out of the Qian Yuan Realm."
Ji Dai raised his hand and retrieved the Great Bell. He then turned to the other two Cultivator at the Divine Platform Ninth Layer and said calmly, "Let's go, people of the Kirin Chamber of Commerce. I will escort you out of this realm."
The two Cultivator at the Divine Platform Ninth Layer dared not say a word, exchanged a glance, and silently walked out.
Sitting at the head of the left, Liao Xu watched the three leave, then turned his gaze to Li Guanrong and slowly said, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of incurring public wrath with this action? These rules of the Qian Yuan Realm are indeed a bit too much. If we accept them, our merchant guild's Life and Death will be in the hands of the Qian Yuan Realm."
Li Guanrong smiled, picked up the Clear Tea beside him, took a sip, and said calmly, "I have heard that in some Exquisite World, power has been usurped, with people from other realms controlling the situation within. If you want to apply this approach to my Qian Yuan Realm, you have made a mistake. If you want to do business properly and achieve mutual benefit, my Great Qian welcomes you. If you have other ideas, then you should give up that thought as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, all the members of the chambers of commerce looked towards the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce. It was rumored that the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce held the Realm Token of four Boundary Domain, so it was obvious who this was meant for.
The manager of Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower also sharpened his gaze, as they were both powerful forces in the Exquisite World and had done similar things.
Liao Xu said, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Our Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce has always acted according to strict rules, and we dare not accept such accusations."
Li Guanrong laughed heartily, "I was just saying it casually, Attendant Liao, please don't take it too seriously. Come, let's continue our discussion."
After a full day, it was still difficult to reach a consensus.
Before leaving, Li Guanrong smiled and said, "I believe you all understand the meaning of my Great Qian Daoist Friend. Some things concern the safety of my Qian Yuan Realm and cannot be compromised. If you cannot make a decision, you can send the message back first."
After Li Guanrong left, the members of the chamber of commerce gathered together.
Someone's face darkened with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table, saying, "This mere newly promoted Exquisite World cultivator is far too arrogant! I think we should teach them a lesson!"
"Indeed, using the same tactics as the secular Imperial Court on us is a clear sign that they don't take us seriously."
"Attendant Liao, say something, and we will follow your lead."
Liao Xu was also somewhat angry. If this happened in the Upper Thirty-Six Realms, it would be one thing, but in the Lower Seventy-Two Realms, who would dare to treat the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce like this?
However, considering some rumors circulating in the Qian Yuan Realm, he still dared not make a decision on his own. He simply said calmly, "I am but a Attendant; how could I dare to make such a decision? I will relay this message back to the association, and the Head Shopkeeper will make the final decision."
"Your Highness, do you think these chambers of commerce will agree to our demands?" asked Lai Jingxian, the Minister of Revenue.
"These are the rules of the Qian Yuan Realm. If they don't agree, then don't come. If they want to use other methods, hehe..." As he said this, Li Guanrong glanced in the direction of North Spring Mountain with a smile.
If these people try to overturn the table and cause trouble, he won't care. If his Grandfather doesn't intervene, he'll stay in the Mountain and refuse to leave!
