"So you're all sworn brothers and even joined the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild together. You're so lucky!"

The Zhao family members chatted amiably with Lin Zuibai, exchanging pleasantries in a harmonious atmosphere.

However, Xu Yun could keenly sense that these members of the Zhao family had quietly steered the conversation away from the topic of making friends.

Lin Zuibai clearly noticed this as well, but he didn't say anything. After exchanging a few more words with them, the Zhao family members made an excuse to leave.

"Big...Big brother?"

Xiao Menglin blinked, looking completely bewildered, clearly unaware of Lin Zuibai's actions just now.

Lin Zuibai didn't explain, but said softly, "Come with me first."

After speaking, Lin Zuibai led everyone to a room inside the flying boat and sealed it with talismans to ensure that no one else could hear them.

After finishing everything, Lin Zuibai looked at Xiao Menglin and sighed, "Sister Xiao, you were careless just now. Didn't I say before that the Zhao family and the Liu family within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce are openly and covertly fighting each other and refusing to give way?"

"These Zhao family members just now ostensibly wanted to befriend us, but in reality they were secretly trying to win us over and forcibly pull us into their camp, which made them hostile to the Liu family."

"If I hadn't just stepped in and pointed out that we were only Rank D worshippers, we probably would have been unwittingly drawn into a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed immediately; they hadn't expected there to be such a factor involved.

Xu Yun immediately thought of the Zhao family members he had met before. After hearing that they were Ding-level retainers, he gave up the idea of ​​befriending them and left.

Within the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild, the treatment of a Rank D worshipper has always been low, which also means that the cultivator who signed the spiritual contract is not very capable and belongs to the bottom level within the guild.

This is why the Zhao family members considered them unworthy of their acquaintance, thus avoiding being drawn into various troubles.

"Big brother, I'm so sorry, little sister really is..."

Xiao Menglin covered her mouth with her hand, her pretty face turning pale. She realized how foolish she had just been and quickly apologized.

"No need for that, just be more careful in the future."

Lin Zuibai waved his hand, then looked at everyone seriously and said in a deep voice, "We brothers and sisters are one. If you encounter anything you can't decide in the future, be sure to come and discuss it with all of us."

At this moment, Lin Zuibai displayed the demeanor and aura of an elder brother. Although he wanted these sworn friends to help him improve his status and acquire resources.

But there was some sincerity in it as well; if possible, he naturally hoped that all his sworn friends would be doing well.

Therefore, in order to avoid being unwittingly drawn into the struggle between the two Foundation Establishment families of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild, he had to set an example and warn everyone.

"Yes, brother!"

As Lin Zuibai finished speaking, everyone immediately and solemnly agreed, feeling both at ease and joyful.

With Lin Zuibai as their elder brother, their future, if not bright, at least has a good chance of settling down in Mofeng City.

Then, everyone chatted as they waited for the airship to land.

Buzz!

Several days later, the airship suddenly shook violently.

Xu Yun and the others stood on the wooden planks, gazing at the faint outline of the city in the distance, their faces showing curiosity and anticipation.

As they drew closer, the city came into full view of Xu Yun. The city walls were made entirely of dark stone bricks, and they looked magnificent and imposing.

Layers of restrictions were also inscribed on the city walls, forming a huge light curtain that enveloped the entire Mofeng City, making it completely impenetrable.

As the airship approached, an entrance slowly appeared in the enormous light curtain, allowing the airship to pass through.

"Tsk tsk, the Muyun Chamber of Commerce really has a lot of influence, actually allowing the flying boat to enter Mofeng City directly."

Xu Yun smacked his lips. As far as he knew, flying was forbidden in Mofeng City, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators had to abide by this rule.

However, in the face of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild, Mofeng City changed its usual practice and allowed the flying boat to enter directly, even flying over the city without any dissatisfaction.

This alone made Xu Yun realize just how prestigious the Muyun Chamber of Commerce truly was.

Swish!

A moment later, the airship created layers of air waves and slowly descended, landing on an open space.

As Xu Yun and the others left the flying boat, they saw a magnificent palace complex before them. The similar architectural style and restrictions indicated that this place was the territory of the Muyun Merchant Guild.

Moreover, this place surpasses the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch in Qingyufang City in both scale and restrictions, which alone shows that Mofeng City is also a very important place for the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

"Everyone, let's go and accept the quest for the Rank D honorific."

As soon as Lin Zuibai disembarked from the flying boat, he led everyone to one of the main halls in the palace complex. There, they saw a large crowd of people, all members of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

They all looked hurried and moved quickly, clearly having important matters to attend to.

As Lin Zuibai led everyone into the main hall, a commotion immediately arose. Xu Yun subconsciously looked up and saw members of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce accepting missions.

Following their gaze, one could see the missions of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild constantly appearing within a light screen above.

These tasks are varied and diverse, including hunting monsters, guarding resource points, and providing goods for shops.

"Hmm... I'll choose the task of guarding the resource point."

A moment later, Lin Zuibai glanced at the tasks, then took out his Rank D Guardian token and accepted one of the tasks.

This token was previously distributed to them by the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild. It can be used to receive missions and activate some of the guild's restrictions according to permissions, making it extremely important.

Subsequently, Shi Han and Xiao Menglin also chose the same mission: hunting demonic beasts. The rewards were quite tempting to them, and since it was only a few first-tier demonic beasts, it was safe to do so.

"I'll choose this task: providing talismans to Tianhe Tower."

Soon after, Xu Yun also chose a task: to provide talismans to the shops belonging to the Muyun Merchant Guild. The reward was spirit stones, which were priced according to the quality and quantity of the talismans provided.

Strictly speaking, this task is a long-term mission, but it is stable and safe. Xu Yun also plans to take this opportunity to make more contact with the people in the shops and see if he can find the necessary resource channels.

The others were not surprised by Xu Yun's decision, after all, Xu Yun was a mid-grade first-level talisman master, and this task was just right for him.

"What a coincidence, Brother Xu, I have also taken on the task of supplying pills to Tianhe Tower."

Just then, Wen Lingyu, with her gentle and calm demeanor, raised her head and looked at Xu Yun with some surprise, before a smile appeared on her face.

She was an alchemist herself, and preferred a stable cultivation environment, so she chose this task.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yun would take on a similar task as she did.

"That's good too. The two of you can stay in the same place and take care of each other."

Lin Zuibai nodded slightly, and at the same time he sighed inwardly, thinking how great it was to have a cultivation skill, as it was popular everywhere.

Unlike him and Shi Han, who both had to travel to other places and faced certain risks.

The tasks that Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu took on were very stable and safe, and the rewards were quite good. If they had more talent and time, they would probably have thought about learning a cultivation technique.
