Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Oh? How do you mean?" Jing Yu asked with interest.

The shop owner smiled flatteringly and said, "Senior, do you know what kind of business the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce is doing?"

"What kind of business? Could it be mining for immortal stones?"

The shop owner shook his head and said, "The Wanjie Chamber of Commerce does have many mines under its name, but the money earned from running mines is hard-earned. The profits from simply mining immortal stones are actually not very high. Especially since some immortal stone veins gradually become barren after being mined for hundreds of years, and you have to keep looking for new rich mines... Can this support the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce's expenses?"

"And, Senior, do you know why the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce has so many mines? Is it really just to stockpile immortal stones?"

Before Jing Yu could respond, the Yuanying shop owner took the initiative to clarify the confusion: "The Wanjie Chamber of Commerce, as the name suggests, is engaged in the business of the Wanjie."

"The real profit of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce is not in the [Immortal Realm], but in the [Underworld]."

Jing Yu raised his eyebrows, becoming more interested.

The Yuanying shop owner smiled and said, "[Immortal Stones] are not rare in the Immortal Realm. They are just used as currency for transactions or as an emergency item to temporarily replenish mana and true essence. But they are rare in the lower realm."

"The [Immortal Spiritual Energy] contained in this thing can speed up the speed at which a Divine Transformation cultivator comprehends the laws. In the Immortal Realm, just taking a breath is filled with Immortal Spiritual Energy, so there's no need for this function."

"But in many lower realms, especially those with extremely few [Immortal Eyes], [Immortal Stones] are the hard currency for them to advance further on their path. A [Low-grade Immortal Stone] is nothing in the Immortal Realm, but once it is transported to the lower realms, its value will skyrocket thousands and even millions of times."

"Although most of the natural treasures in the lower realms are not needed by the immortal world, there are always some secret caves and secret realms left behind by the immortal world that are captured by local cultivators. There are indeed many good things in them, and there is huge arbitrage space."

"The biggest profit-making method of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce is to send its monks to the lower realms to exchange [Immortal Stones] for natural treasures and spiritual resources that are also valuable in the Immortal Realm."

"For example, a low-grade spiritual weapon can be sold for one thousand low-grade immortal stones in the immortal world."

"But if the thousand immortal stones used to purchase this spiritual weapon were sent to the lower realm, perhaps they could be exchanged for ten low-grade spiritual weapons."

Jing Yu asked, "But I heard that if you smuggle a Divine Transformation cultivator from the Immortal Realm to the Lower Realm, the cost is extremely high. Can the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce make a profit by doing this?"

The Yuanying shop owner said, "Of course there are times when we make a loss, but after counting hundreds or thousands of times, we are definitely profitable. Otherwise, the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce would not have been able to operate until now."

The old man then added, "Of course, there are several prerequisites for doing this - first, not all realms require immortal stones. This realm requires immortal eyes, which are extremely rare."

"Otherwise, in a realm filled with immortal eyes, the local Divine Transformation cultivators wouldn't be interested in these immortal stones."

"Secondly, this realm doesn't have many ascended seniors who care about the lower realms. If it were a Mahayana or even immortal home realm, they would regularly send down cave secret realms, so there would naturally be no shortage of immortal stones. Then the immortal stones of the Myriad Realms Chamber of Commerce would not be considered a rare commodity."

"The third one..."

The Yuanying shop owner smiled and said, "The cultivators from the lower realms who have reached the Divine Realm must have real skills. It would be best if they were invincible at the same level. Otherwise, if they were directly killed by the native cultivators from the lower realms, the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce would have completely lost all their money on this business trip."

"The Wanjie Chamber of Commerce has been established for tens of thousands of years. During these tens of thousands of years, there have been many cases where monks from the Chamber of Commerce descended to the mortal world and ended up capsizing in the gutter..."

"But then again."

The Nascent Soul shop owner shook his head and said, "How many Spiritual Transformation cultivators are truly invincible among their peers? Even without mentioning being invincible among their peers, even someone who can crush ordinary late-stage Spiritual Transformation cultivators must be at least a minor genius among the immortal forces."

"Even a Cave Heaven Realm cultivator cannot afford to offend such an existence. How could they willingly come to work for the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce?"

"Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce has always been in a state of shortage of cultivators from the lower realms. The Ten Thousand Worlds Chamber of Commerce can only focus its attention on those powerful but secretive Divine Transformation cultivators."

"Which monks meet these two conditions?"

The Yuanying shop owner slapped his thigh and said, "Aren't those the ascended monks who offended the big shots?"

"Which ascended cultivator isn't a peerless genius who once dominated their hometown? Having fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how could their combat experience be lacking? Simply teach them a few high-level techniques from the immortal realm, and their combat power will instantly see a qualitative leap."

"Just because they have offended the forces of the Immortal Realm, they cannot be seen in public. This is exactly what the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce can use to control them."

Jing Yu touched his chin and pondered:

"What level of power is this Wanjie Chamber of Commerce?"

The Yuanying shop owner scratched his head and said, "It is said that there are several Mahayana monks behind the scenes, but there should be no immortals, otherwise their hands would have reached the Second Heaven long ago."

"Okay, then please help me contact the people from the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce and tell them that an ascended cultivator wants to join the chamber of commerce."

Jing Yu said leisurely.

Baichuan City, the Treasure House of All Worlds

A woman with a solemn aura and extremely beautiful appearance was lying on the soft couch, holding a translucent jade talisman in her hand, with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Her face was like red clouds reflecting the snow, her eyes were majestic and slightly raised at the corners, and her eyebrows were dotted with cinnabar, making her skin look even whiter.

If a lower-level cultivator who was unaware of this person's identity saw such a beauty, he would most likely have some romantic thoughts.

But if the monk knew the woman's identity, I'm afraid he would not have any improper thoughts.

This person is none other than the president of the Baichuan branch of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce, the Cave Heaven Realm cultivator - Jian Suyun!

……

Jian Suyun hasn't been in a very good mood recently.

As the branch president of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce in Baichuan City, her cultivation in the middle stage of the Cave Heaven Realm makes her one of the most powerful people in the entire city.

Apart from the Mahayana city lord who often practiced in seclusion and rarely showed up in public, she hardly needed to bow to anyone.

But at this time, Jian Suyun was a little upset because of a communication talisman.

This is a communication talisman from the headquarters of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce.

"Damn..."

Jian Suyun cursed inwardly.

"The life token left by the merchant Li Zhao in the Immortal Realm has shattered. It seems he has died in the lower realms... This time, his merchant life has been completely ruined."

"Originally, the headquarters would give some quotas to the local branches, but my quota can only be reduced once every thousand years..."

"But in the past thousand years, this is the second time one of my [Million World Merchants] has been killed in the lower realms... Headquarters has even sent a special summons to hold them accountable..."

Jian Suyun felt a headache. "It's easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it's hard to find a good general... I can handle the accountability, but now that Li Zhao has fallen, I only have one Merchant left. It's impossible for me to meet the targets issued by headquarters... And where can I find another Divine Transformation genius who can dominate the lower realms in such a short time?"
