Spreading the Word
"You mean Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao have already joined us?" Lu Qing'an feigned composure, a smile playing on his lips, as if he had already taken everything under control.
Li Wensheng laughed and said, "Yes, the two of them came to me on their own. I immediately understood what you were thinking, Brother Lu, so I told them a few things, and then they willingly followed my instructions to complete the task you gave me."
Lu Qing'an didn't quite understand what Li Wensheng was saying, but he could only pretend to understand. He stepped forward, patted Li Wensheng on the shoulder, and looked at him with a firm gaze full of approval.
"Wensong, Wensong, you really understand me. Everything from now on depends on you. Do a good job. I'll reward you handsomely afterward."
Li Wensheng instantly revealed a look of joy.
Are there any other rewards? But I don't want anything anymore. I've already broken through to the Eternal Realm. The only thing I want now is to break through to the Peak Eternal Realm as soon as possible.
Could it be that Brother Lu wants to help me break through to the Peak Eternal Realm faster?
Li Wensong quickly patted his chest and assured him, "Brother Lu, don't worry, I will definitely handle things perfectly. I will lead them to advance your plan as soon as possible!"
Lu Qing'an had no idea what kind of plan he was planning, so he didn't say anything. He patted Li Wensong on the shoulder and then signaled that Li Wensong could go about his business.
Just as Li Wensong was about to leave, he remembered something and smiled at Lu Qing'an, saying, "By the way, Brother Lu, I'll bring all five of them over in three days. You can tell them anything you want to say then, and they might ask you some questions."
Lu Qing'an thought for a moment, then nodded slightly without saying anything, signaling Li Wensong to get back to work.
Watching Li Wensong leave, Xue Tianfei then looked at Lu Qing'an.
"Qing'an, do we now have five Peak Eternal Realm experts available for use?"
Xue Tianfei seemed a bit dull.
Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "That should be the case, but we'll see the specifics in three days."
Xue Tianfei nodded slightly, then added, "By the way, Qing'an, our chamber of commerce has now been successfully renamed. Its full name is the Eternal Night Chamber of Commerce. I've also instructed Qian Xiuzhu and the others to begin utilizing all available resources to aggressively acquire promising assets that, after renovation, will definitely generate substantial profits."
Lu Qing'an had great confidence in Xue Tianfei's management skills, so he didn't say much at the moment, simply telling Xue Tianfei to do her best.
"There's still one more issue. That is, it would be better if we could reveal the strength of our Eternal Night Chamber of Commerce and Eternal Night Sect to the outside world more clearly," Xue Tianfei suddenly said.
"Did you encounter any problems during the acquisition?" Lu Qing'an asked.
Xue Tianfei nodded. "We are indeed rich, and others know we are rich, so some people offer exorbitant prices without any restraint. Some even more powerful forces show no respect at all, saying our strength is insufficient, and they look down on us when we buy their properties."
Lu Qing'an gave a soft hum, then said, "It's alright. In three days, they'll know the true value of our Eternal Night Sect. I'll see how things go then, and see if we can get Li Muchen and the other four Peak Eternal Realm experts to join our Eternal Night Sect. At that time, the Eternal Night Sect's strength will definitely rank among the top ten forces in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Tianfei was already starting to look forward to it.
"By the way, Qing'an, there's one more thing. The auction I told you about last time has suddenly been moved up by half a month. If we want to acquire that cultivation treasure, we need to prepare in advance. Also, I heard that there are many people attending this auction, including quite a few top-tier forces from various advanced star regions. Perhaps we can showcase our financial strength at this auction, which would benefit our Eternal Night Chamber of Commerce's future plans!"
Xue Tianfei was well aware that such a grand spectacle had an advertising effect.
They happen to be auctioning something very important at this auction, so they can take this opportunity to showcase their wealth and advertise themselves.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "That's easy. Go and prepare a huge sum of money, or perhaps get more Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone from those mines. Especially get that guy Golden Dragon to produce more Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone, so we can show off our wealth there!"
"Okay!" Xue Tianfei smiled slightly, "I'm good at showing off my wealth!"
"Really? If that's the case, then you can do it on the day of the auction, and I'll just watch from the sidelines, how about that?" Seeing that no one was around, Lu Qing'an pulled Xue Tianfei onto his lap, made her sit down, and gently rested his chin on Xue Tianfei's shoulder.
A fragrant aroma wafted into his nostrils, instantly making him feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Sure!" Xue Tianfei smiled, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Qing'an, it seems like it's been a while since we've had a proper time alone together."
Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei, quietly brushed her long hair behind her ear, her ears were already red, and she spoke softly, knowing what Xue Tianfei was thinking.
"What happened to you?" Le Qing'an asked teasingly.
"It's all because of you, you damned devil, hmph!" Xue Tianfei glanced at Lu Qing'an and scolded him.
Seeing Xue Tianfei's cheeks growing increasingly red, Lu Qing'an couldn't resist giving her a kiss, then said, "Haha, it seems I've done a good job transforming you. In that case, let's have a proper get-together. Let's go!"
Lu Qing'an hugged Xue Tianfei tightly.
It's a princess carry!
Xue Tianfei smiled broadly, nestled her head in Lu Qing'an's arms, and felt incredibly happy.
The two flew to the mountaintop they frequented, their bodies radiating powerful orbs of light that sealed off the surrounding void, and then not a sound was heard.
One day later.
Xue Tianfei and the other person then parted ways.
Xue Tianfei went to attend to the Chamber of Commerce's affairs.
Lu Qing'an returned to the courtyard, sat on the stone pavilion, and cultivated his soul while drinking tea.
At the same time.
Throughout the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, the same thing is happening in various places.
The five Peak Eternal Realm experts spread the word in bewilderment, starting to talk about the Eternal Night Sect whenever they met someone.
They lavishly praised the Eternal Night Sect's uniqueness and power, and then instructed these people to spread the word.
"Li Muchen, why did you suddenly come to see me? Aren't you always holed up in your star field, busy growing your vegetables?" An old man with white hair sat on the mountaintop, watching Li Muchen fly closer.
The old man's cultivation level was not apparent, but his eyes seemed to contain a vast star field.
Li Muchen said, "I have something to discuss with you."
What is it?
Have you ever heard of the Eternal Night Sect?
"Never heard of it. I haven't kept up with news from the outside world for a while. What happened to this sect?"
"Very well, then you don't need to know. I'll just tell you one thing: just remember this, the Eternal Night Sect is incredibly powerful!"
Li Muchen's words completely stunned the old man opposite him.
