Beneath the vortex.
It wasn't as they imagined, filled with seawater, requiring them to move around in the sea.
After entering the whirlpool and diving down to an unknown depth, [they]...
The scene before my eyes.
This shocked everyone!
Here, most of the surrounding area is blocked by a thin film formed from Spiritual Qi that seems almost tangible.
Seawater cannot penetrate into the membrane.
This resulted in a situation where, although the area is deep in the ocean, there is no seawater present in the surrounding area!
And right before Ye Qiubai, Zi Shan, and the others.
It was an enormous palace.
The palace was designed to resemble Pill Furnace.
There are nine different directions around the Pill Furnace.
Each of them has a fiery red dragon statue surrounding this Pill Furnace palace.
The dragon sculpture has its mouth wide open.
Even from where Ye Qiubai and the others were, they could clearly feel it.
From the gaping mouths of these nine fire dragon sculptures, bursts of heat surged forth!
This space was burned until it was distorted.
On the verge of collapse...
When entering this place.
Mu Fusheng then affixed a talisman to his body.
At the same time, he also took a pill made by Mu Wan'er to enhance his spiritual perception.
Scan the surroundings.
However, they detected no trace of anyone else's presence.
Seeing this, Mu Fusheng said with a puzzled expression, "I haven't detected any other ambushes. Unless a Peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm expert personally intervenes, they wouldn't be able to evade my current sensory abilities."
Mu Fusheng's soul is now incredibly powerful.
It's not just that they've reached the sixth level of the Soul Nourishing Technique.
Furthermore, it contains talismans and elixirs that enhance perception.
Below the Peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm, it's impossible to escape his perception.
It's inevitable that some clues will be revealed!
Before Ye Qiubai and the others could speak...
The Zi Shan took a step forward.
She took out a delicate little mirror.
When the power of the soul emanated from between the Zi Shan's eyebrows and flowed into the mirror.
This small mirror actually emitted dazzling and radiant divine light in all directions!
Seeing this scene...
Mu Fusheng, Ye Qiubai, and Hong Ying exchanged a glance.
He thought to himself.
The Tianjin Chamber of Commerce.
This mirror clearly has the effect of greatly enhancing the perception of the soul.
Such a treasure is extremely rare, even in the entire Mid-Latitude Realm.
A full half-incense stick's time had passed.
Zi Shan withdrew her robes and said, "Although I don't know who you're looking for, there's really no one else here. Even someone at the Peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm couldn't escape this detection."
"But speaking of which," Zi Shan looked around and asked with a curious smile, "Who exactly provided you with the clues that led you to this place?"
"This is clearly the legacy left behind by Alchemist with extremely high attainments in Dao of Alchemy."
Mu Wan'er shook her head and said, "We don't know either, and we don't know any Alchemist here, which is why we suspect it's a trap set by someone else."
The Zi Shan chuckled and said, "You're guessing it's an ambush set up by the Avici Purgatory, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Zi Shan Robe has investigated us very thoroughly."
"I'm a businessman, after all."
Zi Shan wasn't embarrassed at all, and said frankly, "For such a monstrous peer, it's only natural to investigate him. That way, we can have more cooperation in the future without involving the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"Is it really a collaboration?"
"Personally speaking, it is indeed a collaboration."
Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, Ning Chenxin, and Hong Ying were all scrutinizing Zi Shan's expression, breathing, and even the relaxation of her muscles as she spoke.
These words don't sound like a lie.
When Zi Shan said those words, her subtle body movements were completely natural.
only.
As the chief auctioneer of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, Zi Shan possesses not only exceptional skills but also...
Naturally, it also plays an extremely important role in the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce.
If even she says that she has no intention of harming them.
What about the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce?
Ye Qiubai asked with a smile, "So, Miss Zi Shan Robe doesn't know what the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce planning?"
Since Zi Shan said that...
Naturally, I wanted to show them my attitude.
"That's right, I'm here to find out exactly what the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce wants."
Zi Shan made no attempt to conceal her purpose.
"After all, the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce must remain neutral in this Mid-Latitude Realm for various reasons."
"If anyone in the Chamber of Commerce tries to disrupt this situation, I will stop them."
When this last sentence was spoken...
A cold glint appeared in the Zi Shan's eyes.
but.
Ye Qiubai and the others also gleaned several pieces of information from Zi Shan's words.
First.
The Tianjin Chamber of Commerce has influence not only in the Mid-Latitude Realm.
However, even in the Low-Latitude Realm, they were unaware of the existence of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the Shanxi merchants must have met in the High-Latitude Realm on that Tianjin Chamber of Commerce.
The second piece of information.
In other words, Zi Shan did not want the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce cooperate with other forces.
She didn't come here to deal with Ye Qiubai and his group.
Rather, they wanted to investigate.
What exactly does the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce want to do?
The goal is to align with theirs.
Since that's the case.
Ye Qiubai and the others also reduced their guard against Zi Shan somewhat.
Zi Shan also gleaned an important piece of information from the conversation.
That is.
The Tianjin Chamber of Commerce may have a partnership with the Avici Purgatory.
The Tianjin Chamber of Commerce helped the Avici Purgatory lure Ye Qiubai and his group to places where an ambush had been set up.
I just don't know.
Just how much benefit does the Avici Purgatory actually bring to the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce?
Could it be that they, too, were tempted to waver?
They were even willing to break the neutrality, potentially putting the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce in danger of facing a crisis from the Supervisory Sacred Hall in the Mid-Latitude Realm...
The woman in Zi Shan crossed her arms and smiled, saying, "Now you can trust me, right?"
Ye Qiubai smiled and nodded, "Of course."
After saying that.
Everyone looked toward the Pill Furnace palace.
Ye Qiubai looked at Mu Wan'er and said, "Let's go, the inheritance here is just right for you."
Mu Wan'er nodded.
They walked towards the palace together with the others.
When they arrived at the palace gates...
The doors opened automatically to both sides.
And inside.
A wisp of fragrant pills, as strong as a whirlwind, wafted towards them!
Just smelling this fragrance of cinnamon.
Ye Qiubai and the others could then feel that all of their bodily functions had improved!
Even the speed at which Spiritual Qi circulates within the meridians has increased tenfold!
It's just the fragrance of cinnabar.
Is this the effect?
What level can this kind of elixir reach?
No need to think about it.
This is definitely a elixir that surpasses even the level of Heavenly Immortal.
The owner of this palace was probably at least a Alchemist...
