I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Xuantian Mountains, Black Rock City.

"Thirty percent! Does that mean we're begging on our knees?"

Qiyuan Merchant Pavilion, Council Hall.

The business executives were indignant; they had never seen such a greedy disciple.

Xuantian Mountain, with its nine mountain cities in the outer realms, has formed a kingdom within the mountains.

Rogue cultivators, ordinary people, merchants, and outer disciples all contributed to the prosperous scene.

Where there are people, there is trade.

Xuantian Sect did not take care of all aspects of life, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, allowing major merchants from the Northern Region to set up shop there.

Qiyuan Trading Company is one of the three major trading companies in the Northern Region.

In the outer mountain cities, merchant guilds engage in fierce battles to win over the true disciples of Lingshan.

Such sacred mountains and grottoes are not easily found elsewhere.

Merchants who source goods from outside sources not only fail to meet quality standards but also incur additional transportation costs.

Qiyuan Merchant Pavilion is very generous, and it has nearly 100 true disciples who cooperate with it.

"Could it be that he has already partnered with other businesses and is deliberately trying to provoke us?" someone speculated.

"We haven't offended him."

"So we're just going to give up like this? That's the sacred mountain of the Great Cave Heaven, where the spiritual ginseng cultivated there is of impeccable quality."

Just as the business executives were in a state of panic, a woman pushed open the door and entered.

A long purple dress, its hem fluttering in the wind like a blooming flower.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her slightly upturned eyes carried a touch of charm and allure, yet remained dignified and elegant.

Her skin was as white as snow, which made her delicate features even more radiant and beautiful.

"Miss!"

The senior executives of the business all stood up and bowed.

Qiyuan Trading Company is a business owned by the Su family, and this Su Yu'er is the young lady of the Su family.

“You shouldn’t say thirty percent. You should say the number directly. Thirty percent sounds small, but it’s tens of thousands of spirit stones. He won’t think that way,” Su Yu’er said.

The returning merchant representative had his head down.

He wouldn't agree if someone else had said that.

Miss Su is different; her shrewdness is evident to all, and she has won over most of the true disciples who cooperate with the business.

"Miss, are you planning to take action yourself?" someone asked.

"Of course, we cannot miss the sacred mountain of the Great Cave Heaven."

Su Yu'er was full of confidence.

Even the seemingly extraordinary disciples of the Xuantian Sect become her devoted followers, readily agreeing to whatever she says.

This is because she has a big secret!

She was born with an alluring charm!

Unlike the low-class charm techniques of the demonic path.

Using charm to change someone's mind is a taboo and a grave sin in the Ten Great Sects.

Her innate charm is unique, naturally flawless.

Men who fell head over heels for her all believed it was out of genuine affection.

Even a supreme expert searching the soul couldn't find a single clue.

The following day, Su Yu'er traveled by flying boat to the inner region of Xuantian Mountain.

People from other merchant guilds cannot freely enter and exit the inner area; they must first register at Tongtian Peak and also give benefits to the law enforcement disciples.

Su Yu'er is different; she has a senior brother's credentials, allowing her to come and go freely.

The flying boat hovered above Xiaoyao Peak.

"It really is the sacred mountain of the Great Grotto Heaven."

Su Yu'er has been in the business world for many years and she always measures the value of everything she sees.

This sacred mountain is comparable to a treasure mountain.

“The Qiyuan Merchant Guild, Su Yu’er has come to pay her respects.”

Instead of immediately landing the airship, she shouted a message from the air.

Soon, she met the true disciples of Xiaoyao Peak.

Su Yu'er judged people by their clothes first; the robes of true disciples had neither python patterns nor family crests.

This means that Shen Ming has no powerful connections.

However, Su Yu'er had a sharp eye and immediately realized that Shen Ming was not a boy that an ordinary family could raise.

This Shen Ming has never suffered hardship since he was a child!

It was an indescribable feeling, and it was also Su Yu'er's talent.

He's quite handsome!

Finally, Su Yu'er examined that face closely.

"Come in." Shen Ming followed the principle of treating guests as guests and did not refuse.

Su Yu'er controlled the flying boat to land on the mountainside.

"Senior brother, haven't you renovated Mount Ling yet? What style do you like? Our merchant guild has craftsmen who can build it according to your preferences," Su Yu'er said.

"Do you want money?" Shen Ming asked seriously.

"..."

Su Yu'er's smile was slightly unnatural; she hadn't asked that question.

"No need, just consider it a token of my junior sister's appreciation."

She quickly adjusted her mindset and, instead of saying that the collaboration would be free, directly agreed.

Once the gift is accepted, everything else is negotiable.

"never mind."

Shen Ming thought about it and decided not to rashly modify Xiaoyao Peak.

He was somewhat resistant, but not very strongly.

Su Yu'er analyzed the situation, assuming that Shen Ming didn't want to accept the gift.

Then he shouldn't have asked if he needed money in the first place; this true disciple isn't good at negotiating business.

“Senior brother, such a large spiritual mountain can produce rare and precious materials even without deliberate cultivation and planting,” Su Yu’er said.

"really."

Shen Ming nodded in agreement; the golden peach spirit tree had indeed grown naturally.

There is a play!

Su Yu'er mistakenly thought that he had backed down, and said sweetly, "Senior brother, you can tell me whatever you want, and I can satisfy you completely."

As she spoke, she gave him a charming and alluring look.

If it were any other true disciple, their bones would go limp at this point.

Shen Ming's protective instincts suddenly surged, and he only wanted to hold the woman in his arms and also wanted to appear generous in front of her.

I have a fiancée, I can't betray her!

Suddenly, a thought flashed into his mind, instantly bringing him back to his senses and dispelling the influence.

Su Yu'er, who was waiting for Shen Ming to kneel at her feet, realized something was wrong.

"How dare you use your charm on me!"

"Ancient King Fist!"

In his rage, Shen Ming threw a punch with all his might.

The Xuantian Sect forbids its disciples from practicing charm arts, firstly because they are considered low-class, and secondly because they have significant side effects.

Charm attacks shake a person's mind and affect their soul.

It causes irreparable trauma, which is more serious than directly injuring a person!

This woman, and he still thinks of her as a guest!

Unforgivable!

"Senior brother, I don't know any charm techniques, so it won't harm my soul..."

Su Yu'er hurriedly tried to explain.

Bang!

Before she could finish speaking, a huge fist knocked her to the ground.

Even if she were at the first level of the Innate Realm, no matter how many levels of profound barriers she broke through, she would never be a match for Shen Ming.

Su Yu'er saw stars, her vision went black, and her primordial energy surged.

"Come with me to the Hall of Rewards and Punishments to see the Elder of Punishments!"

Shen Ming grabbed her hair, intending to take her to be punished.

"Senior brother, I haven't cultivated any charm techniques; this isn't something I can control."

Su Yu'er had never been treated so roughly before. Feeling Shen Ming's strong hands, she felt as if her hair was about to be pulled out.

Shen Ming snorted coldly and said, "Then your gaze just now, was that natural too?"

Su Yu'er couldn't explain it; that look in her eyes was indeed a result of her innate charm.

Even if it didn't work, Shen Ming shouldn't have found out.

Does he have some special talent?

"Let's go see the Elder of Punishments!" Shen Ming said coldly.

Su Yu'er panicked. Some things are as light as a feather when not weighed, but become incredibly heavy when weighed.

Even if her charm doesn't cause damage to the soul, it does change people's minds.

Xuantian Sect will not tolerate her!

The family will send someone else to take over their achievements!

"Senior brother, I don't know what's going on, but I've noticed since I was little that men are very easy to listen to me, as if it's something I was born with."

I only did that in a moment of desperation, because I wanted to close the deal.

Su Yu'er started playing the victim.

"Oh? Could it be that you were born with an alluring charm?"

Shen Ming thought of a special talent.

"It seems so. Those people won't become mentally impaired like they would if they were under a charm spell. Senior brother, I absolutely have no intention of harming anyone." Su Yu'er began to feign ignorance.

"Since your purpose is not to hurt anyone and there will be no permanent consequences, get out of here."

Shen Ming then released his hand.

Su Yu'er felt a sense of relief, but also a feeling of emptiness in her heart. She felt inexplicably lost.

"Senior brother, I want to apologize."

"Need not."

"No, senior brother, I must apologize."

If they don't apologize, this matter will become a handle that can be used to cause trouble at any time.

Su Yu'er wanted to put today's events behind her and shut Shen Ming up.

"I said no..."

What's wrong with this woman? She can't understand human speech.

"Senior brother, this is the Heavenly Bottle. It can absorb the essence of the sun and moon and condense spiritual liquid. The spiritual liquid can regenerate withered trees and accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs."

With the words of refusal already on the tip of his tongue, Shen Ming silently accepted the Heavenly Bottle.
