Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 44 Donglai Chamber of Commerce
"When I joined the sect, Elder Yuanchen examined my body carefully. You can go and ask him!"

Zi Dong was a little annoyed. He really wanted to let Zhou Xinyu try it. How could a girl ask such a question!
"If there's nothing wrong with your body, then why don't you like Feng Qingwu or me?"

Zhou Xinyu circled Zi Dong twice, her eyes still glancing downwards. She believed this was a very serious problem.

"Junior Sister Xinyu, I've told you before that I need to become stronger as soon as possible, so I don't have time to talk about relationships!"

Zi Dong's face darkened, and his tone was somewhat cold. Zhou Xinyu was going on and on, and he truly regretted devouring the spiritual root light.

"Zi Dong, I want to talk to you." Just as the two were discussing a sensitive topic, Feng Qingwu's gentle voice suddenly came from outside.

"What is she doing here?" Zhou Xinyu was taken aback, and her gaze towards Zi Dong became increasingly strange, as if she feared that the two were in cahoots.

"Why don't you help me stop her?" Zi Dong had an even bigger headache. He couldn't handle Zhou Xinyu alone, and Feng Qingwu was even more difficult to deal with.

"I want to see what she's up to!" Zhou Xinyu walked over and immediately opened the cave door.

"What are you doing here?!" Feng Qingwu was stunned when she saw Zhou Xinyu, and her face immediately turned ugly.

Investigating someone else's cave dwelling is not just a matter of politeness or invasion of privacy; it is a serious matter that disturbs someone's cultivation.

Therefore, Feng Qingwu did not explore Zi Dong's cave, but she did not expect that it was Zhou Xinyu who opened the door.

"Junior Sister Qingwu, didn't you come too?" Zhou Xinyu was also taken aback, as Feng Qingwu had actually changed into a snow-white long dress.

Feng Qingwu in her red dress was like a ball of fire, yet at this moment she was pure and innocent, her allure only increasing.

"I have something to discuss with Zi Dong, you can leave now!" Feng Qingwu raised her small face and walked directly into the cave, gesturing for Zhou Xinyu to leave so she could close the door.

"I also have something to discuss with Zi Dong!" Zhou Xinyu was not going to leave. She slammed the door shut and walked back to Zi Dong's side.

"Zi Dong, I want to talk to you alone!" Feng Qingwu glared at Zhou Xinyu, wanting Zi Dong to send Zhou Xinyu away.

“Junior Sister Xinyu is talking to me right now. How about we talk again tomorrow? Look, it’s already past midnight.”

Zi Dong had no intention of getting entangled with the two of them. Just as he was about to get rid of Zhou Xinyu, Feng Qingwu came running over again.

"Then you two talk first, I'll wait here!" Feng Qingwu glared at Zhou Xinyu and sat down on the ground.

"I want to talk to Zi Dong alone!" Zhou Xinyu glared at Feng Qingwu, trying to kick her out.

"Nothing good happens when someone is behind your back, and good things don't happen when someone is behind your back. I'm not leaving!" Feng Qingwu acted shamelessly, trying to drive Zhou Xinyu away.

"Junior sisters, I've had a long day and I need to rest. Shall we talk another day?" Zi Dong looked at the two women with a headache.

Zhou Xinyu and Feng Qingwu stood and sat, staring at each other without moving, completely ignoring Zi Dong.

"Fine, if you won't leave, I will!" Zi Dong muttered angrily, then opened the door and left.

"Zhou Xinyu, if you can't get Zi Dong, you should give up, otherwise you won't even be able to keep your father's position as sect leader!"

Feng Qingwu immediately stood up. Since Zi Dong wouldn't talk to her, she would talk to Zhou Xinyu and get rid of this rival first.

"Feng Qingwu, I'm not like you, so eager to get married. I was talking to Zi Dong about the Demon Hunter Team!"

Zhou Xinyu pouted, wanting to disgust Feng Qingwu first. She only wanted to bring Zi Dong to the Central Continent; as for whether or not she would marry him, she hadn't really thought about it.

"Tch, hypocrite!" Feng Qingwu scoffed disdainfully, "Isn't it just about helping your father win over Zi Dong? Why bring up the Demon Hunter Group!"

"Hmph, you infatuated fool!" Zhou Xinyu retorted without hesitation, "Your Feng family only knows how to send you to seduce Zi Dong!"

"This young lady has the assets to back it up!" Feng Qingwu immediately puffed out her chest, took a few steps closer, and looked at Zhou Xinyu's chest provocatively. "Brainless!" Zhou Xinyu curled her lips, opened the door and left. She certainly didn't have Feng Qingwu's impressive assets, but she could offer Zi Dong much more.

Shortly after Zhou Xinyu left, Feng Qingwu also left Zi Dong's cave, worried that Zhou Xinyu would get involved with Zi Dong again.

At this time, Zi Dong had already left Yuntian Peak and was flying on his sword to the market where Ai Shang was located. He was preparing to discuss with Ai Shang the establishment of a chamber of commerce.

If the Demon Hunter Group wants to grow and expand, it needs financial support. Zi Dong can't ask the sect for it, and Zhou Yunting won't give it to him either.

Moreover, the Demon Hunter Corps is an organization of Yuntian Sect disciples and cannot recruit powerful independent cultivators, but the Chamber of Commerce has no such problem.

Zi Dong, who came from Earth, naturally knew how to be flexible. The Chamber of Commerce was an affiliated organization of the Demon Hunter Group, and those powerful rogue cultivators could help him obtain more fortune.

"Brother, you are truly brilliant!" Ai Shang was teaching the mortals cultivation in the courtyard when he saw Zi Dong arrive. He immediately ordered tea to be made and quickly praised him after learning his purpose.

"Aishang, can you recruit high-level rogue cultivators?" Zi Dong glanced at the departing mortals, some of whom were already Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

"Brother, as long as we have enough resources, we can recruit them!" Ai Shang quickly assured him.

The biggest shortage of independent cultivators is cultivation resources. They don't want to join sects because they don't want to be bound by them, but this also makes them the poorest cultivators.

"Resources are not a problem. You should start recruiting independent cultivators immediately, the higher their cultivation level, the better, and have them join the Donglai Chamber of Commerce."

The storage ring that Zi Dong obtained contained a vast amount of cultivation resources, enough to support a hundred or so powerful individuals.

"Brother, what kind of business does the Donglai Chamber of Commerce do?" Ai Shang asked excitedly. He had always frequented the market and was most interested in all kinds of businesses.

"First, rent a shop in the market to sell cultivation resources. Once the Demon Hunter Group has grown stronger, we can then form a caravan."

Zi Dong hadn't really figured it out yet. His main plan was to recruit some strong individuals under the name of the Chamber of Commerce, so that he could support them after obtaining their fortune.

"It would be best to form two caravans first, one to the Fire Cloud Mountains and the other to the Great Snow Mountains. Just the rare medicinal herbs they bring back will earn them a lot of spirit stones!"

Ai Shang had already planned it out. If he had the capability, he would have done it long ago, because no caravan dared to enter those two places.

However, there is absolutely no problem with the Yuntian Sect's caravan, and the Guangyan Sect and Qinglian Sword Sect certainly won't make things difficult for the Donglai caravan.

Zi Dong did not agree immediately. After leaving Ai Shang with a lot of spirit stones, he returned to the Demon Hunter Headquarters by Dragon Saliva Lake.

Normally, no one stays here, and no one dares to cause trouble on the territory of the Yuntian Sect, especially since this place is at the foot of Yuntian Peak.

The formation of caravans requires Zhou Yunting's consent, especially for caravans sent to the Fire Cloud Mountains and the Great Snow Mountains; prior arrangements must be made beforehand.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?!" Zi Dong had just entered the wooden building when he saw Feng Qingwu sitting in the main seat of the council hall.

A white figure floated in the darkness, drifting in the night wind like a wandering ghost. Zi Dong, who had been pondering the caravan's affairs, hadn't used his divine sense to investigate and was immediately startled.

"I'll wait until you talk about the engagement." Feng Qingwu looked at Zi Dong calmly, as if to say that the moon wasn't very full tonight.

"You want to get engaged to Li Kunlun? I have no objection!" Zi Dong immediately started talking nonsense. He had already spread his divine sense and found that there were people hiding around the wooden building.

"What Li Kunlun? I want to get engaged to you!" Feng Qingwu jumped up in anger and shouted at Zi Dong.

"Feng Qingwu, it's barely acceptable for us to be fellow disciples, let alone get engaged!" Zi Dong refused decisively.

"Why?!" Feng Qingwu glared at Zi Dong through gritted teeth. This guy actually made himself sound so pathetic.

"Because I don't like women!" Zi Dong shouted even louder. He was going all out, since Zhou Xinyu had already said he was sick!
