Mysterious mirror hanging high

Jing Yu had experienced the dream of the Taoist Master, and his horizons had changed a lot. In the dream, he also learned many secrets of the immortal world that a lower cultivator would never know in his lifetime, so naturally he had his own understanding.

But he still had many doubts about the theory of scattered immortals. For example, since the [Thunder Tribulation of the Scattered Immortals] was sent to kill them, why would the scattered immortals become stronger once they survived it?

Are the immortals themselves forced to continuously improve their combat power in order to resist the thunder tribulation, or is it that the thunder in the thunder tribulation of the immortals themselves has some mysterious properties that can enable the immortal body to reach a higher level?

Just as Jing Yu was thinking about it, Gu Ming took out a token with an ancient shape from his storage bag and handed it to Jing Yu.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the [Ten Thousand Treasures Order], which contains treasures, spiritual resources, and skills sold within the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce. You can choose some and probe into them with your spiritual sense." Gu Ming explained.

Jing Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not unfamiliar with this thing. In fact, it was a similar object to the [Spiritual Stone Embryo] he had in the Xianzhou Realm. So he picked up the [Wanbao Order] skillfully and probed his spiritual sense into it.

"Ok?"

The next moment, a list of treasures instantly emerged in Jing Yu's sea of ​​consciousness -

"[Xianyuan Qiling Pill]: It can accelerate the speed of a Divine Transformation cultivator's comprehension of the laws and accelerate the accumulation of the upper limit of true essence. The medicinal properties are neutral and peaceful, and there is no conflict with most exercises."

"Price: [One] Wanbao coins."

"[Nine-Aperture Concentration Jade]: A low-grade spiritual weapon. The wearer can accelerate the recovery of spiritual consciousness and increase the speed of practicing spiritual and soul-related techniques."

"Price: [One Hundred and Fifty-Six] Wanbao Coins."

"[Second Tribulation Loose Immortal Thunder Tribulation Notes]: Records the methods used by a second-tribulation loose immortal to avoid the tribulation while surviving the lone immortal thunder tribulation. Contains three emergency avoidance techniques."

"Price: [Six Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Nine] Wanbao Coins."

"[Primordial Boundary Stone (Imitation)]: The true Primordial Boundary Stone is born from the beginning of the universe, a strange stone of chaos born at the dawn of time, before the separation of heaven and earth. It inherently contains the supreme mystical power of [stabilizing the universe and regulating all things]. It is the supreme divine object that stabilizes the newly born cave heaven and prevents it from returning to chaos. This is a replica fashioned after birth."

"Price: [3,600] Wanbao coins."

Jing Yu withdrew his spiritual thoughts, looking puzzled. "Fellow Daoist Gu, why don't the treasures on the Wanbao Order treasure list use immortal stones for payment? Instead, why do they require Wanbao Money? How do you exchange this currency?"

Gu Ming blinked his eyes and said, "The treasures and spiritual resources that can be included in the [Ten Thousand Treasures Order] are all rare and exquisite products in the outside world. Even the cheapest [Xian Yuan Qi Ling Dan] is several times more effective than those circulating in the market. Naturally, they cannot be traded with immortal stones."

"As for how to exchange Wanbao Money, there are two systems. The Chamber of Commerce's management, such as Manager Jian, exchange it with rare spiritual objects and spiritual tools."

"And us [traveling merchants]? We exchange it with [years of employment]."

"Every additional year you serve as a [Traveling Merchant] for the Chamber of Commerce can be exchanged for one [Wanbao Coin]."

"At the same time, if you contribute some valuable rare items, you can also exchange them for the corresponding [Treasure Coins]. These Treasure Coins can also be exchanged for [Years of Employment]."

"For example, if you redeem one Wanbao coin from this token, the number of years you've worked for the Chamber of Commerce for free will be reduced by one year."

"If you can redeem [three thousand] Wanbao coins at once, you will be able to regain your freedom immediately. You won't have to engage in the extremely dangerous [traveling business] anymore. You can leave the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce or become a normal chamber of commerce manager."

Gu Mingyan said, "Our chief shopkeeper originally came from a [traveling merchant] background, and he has been on land for many years now."

Jing Yu suddenly realized. He finally understood that for an embarrassing person like him who needs to hide his identity and cannot show up in public, as long as he joins the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce, it is equivalent to owing a debt of [Three Thousand] Wanbao money from the beginning. For a long time to come, he will be in the process of slowly paying off the debt.

Jing Yu asked again, "Once a cultivator enters the Cave Heaven Realm, he or she will be rejected by the core of the lower realm and can no longer serve as a [Million World Merchant]. What if I break through to the Cave Heaven Realm while I'm paying off my debt? What will happen then?"

Gu Ming explained, "If you can break through to the Cave Heaven Realm, the Chamber of Commerce will sign a supplementary contract with you, reducing your outstanding years to one-tenth of the original, and completing them at the Cave Heaven Realm stage."

"For example, if you still have a thousand years of [debt] left, we can reduce it to [one hundred years]. After reaching the Cave Heaven Realm, you can then serve the Chamber of Commerce for another hundred years."

Jing Yu nodded: "That's quite reasonable."

Gu Ming laughed upon hearing this and said, "The Wanjie Chamber of Commerce isn't exactly a legitimate force, but it does have its limits. After all, merchants value their reputation above all else. If things get too ugly and the scandal gets out, the Chamber of Commerce's reputation will be ruined."

He paused, then continued, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, since you've just arrived, I suggest you first exchange some immortal realm secret techniques. They can significantly increase your combat power. For us [traveling merchants], nothing is more important than improving our combat power."

"However, with your magical powers, you only need to practice a few more secret techniques, and your combat power will be able to catch up with the geniuses of the great powers in the immortal world. You don't have to spend over 10 million treasure coins to exchange for various skills and secret techniques like I did back then."

"The remaining exchange amount can be used for cultivation."

"Of course, if you have a long-term vision, you can also make some preparations for the [Cave Heaven Realm]."

Gu Mingyan said, "For example, that [Primordial Realm Stone (Imitation)] is an excellent treasure for stabilizing the cave heaven."

"Stabilize the cave?" Jing Yu asked softly, "Could you please explain it in detail?"

Gu Ming replied, "After the Spiritual Transformation, there is the Cave Heaven. However, achieving the [Cave Heaven Realm] is only the beginning. After a cultivator opens up the Cave Heaven within his body, it becomes extremely unstable, just like the beginning of the chaos of the Immortal Realm. It requires a treasure like a ballast stone to stabilize the Cave Heaven and gradually stabilize it."

"There are all sorts of strange and wonderful treasures used to stabilize the cave heaven, including the legendary [Sea-stabilizing Needle], [Jianmu], [Taichu Boundary-Suppressing Stone], and other items, as well as some cheaper alternatives."

"As for the effect? ​​Of course, the more precious the better, but if you are really short of money, you can only use some lower-level ones as a substitute."

"Even if you really don't have a penny... you can still go dig up some [Universe Sand] that's readily available."

"If the quantity is large enough, even the most worthless [Universe Sand] can help stabilize the cave, but as for the effect... I'll have to rely on my luck."

Jing Yu nodded silently after hearing this. Gu Ming then continued, "I estimate that the mission to go down to the mortal realm for the first time will be approved soon. At that time, I will follow fellow Daoist down to the mortal realm to conduct my first business transaction!"
