Terran Guardian - Chapter 3351

Chapter 3332: More than a thousand imperial artifacts

. Within the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce ,

there are now quite a few cultivators.

The entire Zhutian Chamber of Commerce is divided into three levels.

Each level boasts vast interior spaces, comparable in size to the Celestial Demon Immortal City.

The first and second levels sell cultivation resources and treasures.

The difference is that, in addition to the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce

, the first level

also boasts numerous stalls owned by independent cultivators and other factions.

These independent cultivators and cultivator factions, unable to afford to open shops in Celestial Demon Immortal City, instead choose to visit the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce.

While there are still fees to pay, renting a shop there is significantly cheaper than renting a shop in the Immortal City.

Then

there’s the issue of customer flow.

Any chamber of commerce with some reputation tends to attract a healthy customer base.

Therefore,

the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce’s approach naturally attracts a significant number of independent cultivators and factions.

Overall,

this is a mutually beneficial situation.

This approach was also one of Shen Changqing’s suggestions to the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce. Now that word has spread, it’s been copied by many chambers of commerce.

However, in terms of effectiveness, most have fallen far short of the Zhutian

Chamber of Commerce. Only a few, like Tongtian Pavilion, have managed to outperform it.

This is unavoidable.

After all, Tongtian Pavilion’s reputation is undeniable.

The foundation of such a top-tier chamber of commerce is unmatched by other emerging chambers.

Even though the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce has grown significantly in just a thousand years, gaining a reputation throughout Tianyao Immortal City and even the entire Tianxing Region

, it still lags far behind Tongtian Pavilion.

If the first floor of the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce is jointly operated by the chamber of commerce, other independent cultivators, and other powerful forces, then the second floor is entirely managed by the chamber of commerce itself.

Accordingly,

the treasures sold there are of a higher quality.

As for the third floor,

like Tongtian Pavilion, it serves as an auction venue.

Shen Changqing arrived just as the auction was about to begin. Futian had naturally arranged a celestial palace for him to secretly observe the sale.

As each item came up for auction, Shen Changqing shook his head.

They

were all of the Ancient Immortal level.

The most prominent item was a Half-Step Emperor Immortal artifact.

“What’s the grand prize of this auction?”

Shen Changqing asked, looking at Futian beside him.

He replied respectfully, “It’s a low-grade Emperor Immortal artifact!”

“Hmm…”

Shen Changqing nodded.

The grand prize of an auction was a low-grade Emperor Immortal artifact. Compared to the Tongtian Pavilion auction, the difference was obvious. Futian smiled

wryly

. “It can’t be helped. Although the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce has gained some reputation, most cultivators still prefer the top chambers.

Chambers like ours only have a small number of cultivators willing to participate in the auction.

We’ve been preparing for this auction for hundreds of years!” Hundreds of

years…

to gather a collection of Ancient Immortal treasures and a low-grade Emperor Immortal artifact.

For most chambers of commerce, this is actually quite good.   Shen Changqing naturally understood

this .   Of course,   the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce could also use its own funds to find some Emperor Immortal Artifacts to elevate the auction, but this approach is ultimately a drop in the bucket and difficult to sustain.   Although five million high-grade immortal stones provide a lot of liquidity, the immortal stones required to obtain any Emperor Immortal Artifact are often in the tens of thousands.   Five million high-grade immortal stones would only create a few ripples at best.   ”This is ten million high-grade immortal stones, which will serve as the circulating capital of the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce. In addition, I will find a batch of Emperor Immortal Artifacts for the Chamber of Commerce as the grand finale.   One or two auctions won’t be enough to make the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce famous, but over time, the effect will be noticeable!”   Shen Changqing flicked his finger, and a storage ring fell in front of Futian.   ”Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will not disappoint you!”   Futian beamed with joy upon receiving another 10 million high-grade immortal stones. With this amount of immortal stones in hand, the Chamber of Commerce’s subsequent operations would be much easier.   As for Shen Changqing’s request to find a batch of Imperial Immortal Artifacts, Futian was also somewhat excited.   If a large number of Imperial Immortal Artifacts could truly serve as the Chamber of Commerce’s foundation, the benefits would be obvious.   ”Also, I have a plan to establish branches of the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce in each of the top immortal cities in the Tianxing Territory to further expand the Chamber’s influence.   From the Tianxing Territory as a base, the Chamber of Commerce can gradually expand to other immortal realms!”   Futian concluded by outlining his plan.   Shen Changqing said, “As the head of the Chamber of Commerce, you will decide these matters on your own. However, within 100,000 years, the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce must return these 10 million high-grade immortal stones.”   ”I understand!”   Futian nodded.   Immediately,   Shen Changqing did not linger long at the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce and left.   After returning to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, Shen Changqing produced a jade communication talisman and passed on a message.   A month later,   a middle-aged cultivator in a dark crimson robe arrived at the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   ”Bai Lianfeng, the elder of the Heavenly Casting Palace, has come to pay his respects to the Holy Lord Shenhong!” As soon   as he finished speaking,   the disciple in charge of guarding the Holy Land immediately relayed the news.   Not long after,   Yan Wuxiang arrived.   ”So, a powerful figure from the Heavenly Casting Palace has arrived. I, Yan Wuxiang, am the Deputy Holy Lord of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. I have come to greet you on the Holy Lord’s orders!”   As he spoke, Yan Wuxiang took in Bai Lianfeng’s presence.   The name of the Heavenly Casting Palace.

To him, this was a resounding success.

While the Tianzhu Mansion was only a power in one of the top immortal realms, it possessed a legacy of immortality, its strength unmatched by ordinary forces.

More importantly,

the Tianzhu Mansion was renowned throughout the land for its weapon forging.

When it came to weapon forging, many forces in the Supreme Immortal Realm couldn’t quite match its reputation.

Now,

with an elder from the Tianzhu Mansion personally present, Yan Wuxiang naturally didn’t dare to be disrespectful.

Especially considering the aura of Bailian Feng before him, whose cultivation in the Immortal Emperor realm surpassed his own.

The latter smiled calmly, “I have long heard of Vice Saint Lord Yan.”

“The Saint Lord has been awaiting you for quite some time. Please come in!”

“Please—”

…

Inside the Immortal Palace.

After bringing Bailian Feng to the forge, Yan Wuxiang withdrew.   Only two people remained in

the vast Immortal Palace .   Shen Changqing smiled faintly, “Elder Bailian, it’s been a long time since we last met!”   ”Daoyou Shenhong is now renowned, and your annihilation of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is truly admirable. Even within the Tianzhu Mansion, I’ve heard all about this!”   Bailianfeng bowed and smiled.   Then,   changing the subject, he asked sternly, “I wonder what exactly you’re calling the Tianzhu Mansion for?”   Upon receiving Shen Changqing’s message, Bailianfeng arrived immediately.   If it were any other power, an elder of the Tianzhu Mansion wouldn’t have personally visited them.   But   the Tianyao Holy Land was different.   The Heavenly Demon Saint before them was a future supreme being, poised to achieve immortality. With the Tianzhu Mansion currently in decline, it was only natural that they should show some respect.   As Bailianfeng spoke, Shen Changqing didn’t mince words, but stated his purpose directly.   ”We’ve sent Fellow Daoist Bailian here this time because the Heavenly Demon Holy Land wishes to collaborate with the Tianzhu Mansion.”   ”Please state your opinion, Fellow Daoist!”   ”I wish to purchase from the Tianzhu Mansion a batch of one thousand low-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts, three hundred mid-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts, one hundred high-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts, and ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts!”   As Shen Changqing finished speaking, the expression on Bailian Peak’s face suddenly changed.   ”Fellow Daoist, are you serious?”   ”I’m not lying!”   ”Hiss—”   These words caused Bailian Peak to gasp.   Over a thousand Imperial Immortal Artifacts.   This was a lucrative deal for the Tianzhu Mansion.   After all, the Tianzhu Mansion was famous for its weapon forging, but it was rare for a power to purchase so many Imperial Immortal Artifacts in one go.   A little later.   Bai Lianfeng said in a deep voice, “A low-grade Imperial Immortal Artifact from the Tianzhu Mansion costs twelve thousand high-grade immortal stones, a mid-grade Imperial Immortal Artifact sixty thousand, a high-grade Imperial Immortal Artifact two hundred and forty thousand, and a supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifact six hundred thousand!”   ”This price is the lowest I can offer!”   ”Although this price is slightly higher than the market price, fellow Daoist, you know that the Imperial Immortal Artifacts forged by the Tianzhu Mansion are of excellent quality and are incomparable to ordinary treasures of the same rank!”   Upon hearing this,   Shen Changqing nodded.   He was well aware of the quality of the Tianzhu Mansion.   Therefore, even if Bai Lianfeng’s offer was twenty percent higher than the typical price of an Imperial Immortal Artifact outside, it was understandable.   While the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t make much profit at auction at this price, given the Chamber’s current situation, breaking even would actually be a win.   ”One thousand four hundred and ten Imperial Immortal Artifacts, totaling sixty million high-grade immortal stones. I understand the rules of the Tianzhu Mansion. This is a deposit of six million high-grade immortal stones.   Once the Tianzhu Mansion has prepared all the Imperial Immortal Artifacts, I will hand over the remaining fifty-four million high-grade immortal stones!”   Shen Changqing finished speaking, and immediately handed the storage ring containing six million high-grade immortal stones to Bailianfeng.   The latter’s divine sense fell into the storage ring, revealing all the high-grade immortal stones.   Such a large number of high-grade immortal stones shocked Bailianfeng again.   Immediately, he put the storage ring away and said solemnly, “Fellow Daoist, you are straightforward. However,   it will be difficult for the Tianzhu Mansion to complete the collection of so many Imperial Immortal Artifacts in the short term.   Within ten thousand years, the Tianzhu Mansion will definitely hand over these one thousand four hundred and ten Imperial Immortal Artifacts to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land!”   ”Yes!”   Shen Changqing nodded.   Ten thousand years is not a long time.   After all, there are over a thousand Imperial Immortal Artifacts. Even though the Tianzhu Mansion is famous for its weapon forging, it’s not easy to assemble so many Imperial Immortal Artifacts in one go.   Shen Changqing could naturally accept this time.   –   PS: I’m a little short of an update today, and I’ll be back at midnight. I have to go to the hospital today and tomorrow, so I’m a little short of time to write. Please forgive me, everyone!
