Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 67 Let's get the business going first.

"Junior sisters, sit down and talk it out." Zi Dong quickly invited the two of them to sit down. They were both doing this for the Demon Hunter Team, so there was no need to argue.

"Zhou Xinyu, explain yourself clearly! How did I lie to you?!" Feng Qingwu persisted, pointing at Zhou Xinyu who was sitting down and questioning her.

"Recruiting those rogue cultivators in the name of Yuntian Sect is a lie. Can you really get them to join the sect?"

Zhou Xinyu rolled her eyes at Feng Qingwu. She knew a lot about rogue cultivators because she was one herself in the Central Continent.

To join a sect, one must be bound by its rules. This is why independent cultivators are unwilling to join ordinary sects.

Especially for those powerful individuals, the Yuntian Sect's reputation signifies resources that can help them ascend to the Central Continent.

Otherwise, they would rather live a carefree life as independent cultivators than be ordered around by others. Who would bother to find a father for them?

However, even top-tier sects like Yuntian Sect are unwilling to recruit rogue cultivators, especially powerful ones.

This is a bunch of unruly people, all used to being undisciplined and will never follow the sect's rules; they're just here to cause trouble.

"At least you can go to an affiliated sect!" Feng Qingwu's voice immediately lowered; she just wanted to deceive those rogue cultivators.

"Ask Zi Dong how many powerful individuals he has recruited?!" Zhou Xinyu pouted. She had heard that Zi Dong had recruited many disciples, but not a single one of them was a powerful individual.

"I have a way to recruit those powerful rogue cultivators!" Zi Dong quickly interjected, "Two women can put on a big show too."

"What can you do?!" Feng Qingwu pouted. Zi Dong could only play little tricks on her and recruit some disciples.

"Zi Dong, you mean the Donglai Chamber of Commerce, right?" Zhou Xinyu had already guessed Zi Dong's plan; they had discussed this matter before.

"What Donglai Chamber of Commerce? How come I don't know anything about it?!" Feng Qingwu was furious again. How dare these two keep it from her!
"The Donglai Chamber of Commerce is still under construction, so I didn't tell you," Zi Dong quickly explained, noting that women could be jealous even about something like this.

"The Donglai Chamber of Commerce is under construction. Without resources and good fortune, how can we recruit those powerful rogue cultivators?"

Zhou Xinyu was not optimistic about the Donglai Chamber of Commerce. Running a business takes time, but the Demon Hunter Group's operation could not wait.

"The Donglai Chamber of Commerce still needs time to be established." Zi Dong certainly understood this; he wasn't running a shell company.

“However, we can first form a caravan. I have some spirit stones here, which can attract some powerful rogue cultivators to lead the Demon Hunting Team to do a few business deals.”

"Are you eyeing the Fire Cloud Mountains and the Great Snow Mountains?" Feng Qingwu immediately guessed Zi Dong's intentions.

In the entire Eastern Continent, most cultivation resources are distributed within the Azure Dragon Mountains, the Fire Cloud Mountains, and the Great Snow Mountains.

Because resources are especially precious, alchemy and weapon crafting are almost entirely controlled by the three major sects, while other sects and forces can only purchase them.

Moreover, the three major sects have very strict control over precious resources, and you can basically only buy finished products.

"The three major sects often trade rare resources. If we take the resources from the Azure Dragon Mountain Range there in the name of our sects, and bring back the resources from the Fire Cloud Mountain Range and the Great Snow Mountain, we can quickly accumulate a large amount of wealth!"

Zi Dong established the Donglai Chamber of Commerce with the aim of making big money by relying on the Yuntian Sect, and even wanted to build it into the largest chamber of commerce in the Eastern Continent.

"I agree!" Feng Qingwu raised her hand without hesitation. This was something the Feng family had always wanted to do, but it had been put on hold because there was no suitable candidate.

"Where do you plan to go first, the Fire Cloud Mountains or the Great Snow Mountains?" Zhou Xinyu didn't explicitly state her opinion, but it was clear she agreed. "The Fire Cloud Mountains!" Feng Qingwu immediately chose one: "The Azure Lotus Sword Sect is too greedy; let's not do business with them for now!"

"This matter still needs to be discussed with the sect leader, and we also need to ask the sect to send some elders and deacons to protect the caravan."

Zi Dong only had this idea; whether it could be realized depended on Zhou Yunting's attitude. If he disagreed, the caravan would not be able to enter those two mountain ranges.

“It’s impossible for all three of us to go. One of us must stay behind to manage the demon-hunting team.” Zhou Xinyu raised another question, seemingly convinced that Zhou Yunting would agree to form a caravan.

"Of course you'll stay!" Feng Qingwu directly assigned Zhou Xinyu to the position, as she had to keep the Donglai Chamber of Commerce under control for the Feng family!
"What do you mean I'll stay here naturally?!" Zhou Xinyu immediately widened her eyes. She wanted to travel around the mainland, and besides, she was a Void Breaking Realm cultivator, so she could protect the caravan.

“Because among the three of us, your cultivation level is the highest!” Feng Qingwu was quite satisfied with the excuse she had found.

"Heh!" Zhou Xinyu sneered in surprise, "Feng Qingwu, you actually admit that your cultivation is inferior to mine?!"

"Gentlemen, gentlemen!" Zi Dong quickly stopped the two from arguing: "Let's wait until we consult with the sect leader before deciding on these matters."

"Hmph, she's the one who stayed behind to ask the sect leader for instructions!" Feng Qingwu sneered triumphantly. Zhou Yunting would definitely not let his daughter take any risks.

After much effort, Zi Dong persuaded the two women to return to their room and sleep soundly until dawn. He then immediately summoned them to the Ziyun Hall.

However, just as they reached the top of Yuntian Peak, Feng Qingwu received a message from the Great Elder Feng Song, instructing her to go to the Ancestor's residence immediately.

Although Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu found it strange, they still came to the Ziyun Hall, where Zhou Yunting walked around in circles.

"What's going on with you two?!" Zhou Yunting frowned, his big face was frighteningly gloomy, and he was also a little impatient with Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu.

"Sect Master, if you have something to do, we can talk about it in a couple of days." Zi Dong gave Zhou Xinyu a look. Zhou Yunting was in a bad mood, so the caravan matter could only be postponed.

"Sect Master, we want to form a caravan to do business in the Fire Cloud Mountains and the Great Snow Mountains!" Zhou Xinyu didn't care whether Zhou Yunting was in a good mood or not; the caravan matter had to be done immediately!

"Form a caravan to do business?!" Zhou Yunting immediately stopped, stared at the two of them and repeated the sentence, then a strange smile appeared on his gloomy face.

"Is that not allowed?!" Zhou Xinyu glanced at Zi Dong, who was also confused, and then asked him with some annoyance.

"Of course! It's a great thing!" Zhou Yunting was so excited he almost jumped up. He quickly paced back and forth a few steps before standing in front of the two of them.

"I, the sect leader, will send elders and deacons to protect the caravan. You should set off for the Great Snow Mountain as soon as possible!"

"..." This time it was Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu's turn to stare wide-eyed, wondering what Zhou Yunting was up to.

But no matter how much the two pressed him for an explanation, Zhou Yunting refused to reveal the reason. Instead, he urged them to quickly assemble a caravan.

"Xinyu shouldn't go. She should stay at the sect to manage the Demon Hunting Team. Let Feng Qingwu go with Zi Dong, and make sure they bring plenty of people!"

"Junior Sister Xinyu, why don't you go back and ask the Sect Master again?!" Zi Dong suggested in a low voice as the two walked out of the Ziyun Hall without knowing why.

Zhou Yunting must have encountered some difficulties, and the formation of the caravan is exactly what he wanted to do, helping him solve this problem.

"Wait for me here!" Zhou Xinyu nodded, turned around and walked into the Ziyun Hall. She was also very curious and had to find out!
