C6 Wan'an Chamber of Commerce

White Ridge City was the closest city to Wu Shui. The city was filled with large and small sects. The Profound Heaven Sect and the four great families all had branches here, so young cultivators could be seen everywhere.

Zhou Qing and Song Zixuan passed through the forest, and after walking along the official road for more than ten miles, they arrived at the hill outside White Ridge City.

Standing here, the majestic city walls of White Ridge City could be seen.

Zhou Qing found a tree stump, split it open with his palm, and personally carved Song Fugui's name.

Kneeling together with Song Zixuan in front of the newly erected grave, they kowtowed three times.

"Elder Song, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Zi Xuan." Zhou Qing said solemnly.

"Big brother Zhou Qing, grandpa is not a bad person. He refined the corpse to protect me, grandpa he …" "Sob, sob, sob …"

Song Zixuan's eyes were red and swollen. From the moment Zhou Qing took out Song Fugui's corpse, she had been crying ever since.

Her only family had died, so she was at a loss on the road ahead. Right now, her only hope was to successfully open her spirit. She always felt that once she stepped onto the path of cultivation, she would be closer to big brother Zhou Qing.

Only when the sun had set did Song Zixuan reluctantly leave Song Fugui's grave, following Zhou Qing into White Ridge City.

On the streets, all kinds of shops and buildings were arranged in an orderly fashion. It was extremely lively with people coming and going, and every person, regardless of gender or age, more or less had some sort of mana aura, but most of their spirit bones were at the third or fourth grade.

Entering White Ridge City, Zhou Qing brought Song Zixuan directly to the Wan An Chamber of Commerce.

The Thousand An Merchant Guild was the leading merchant guild of the Profound Sky Continent. It had been in existence for almost a thousand years, and not only had it not declined, it had become even more powerful.

Its scale was wide, and its industries were in all kinds of industries. Its subordinates included Demon Hunt missions, magical artefact charms, medicinal herbs, precious treasures, farmland, silver estates, brothels, beast fighting fields, martial arena, auction houses, and so on.

As long as there was a place with people gathering, there would be the golden signboard of the company.

However, the company wasn't as simple as a single company. To be able to monopolize the entire Profound Heaven Continent, the power backing it could be imagined.

He was very clear that the Mysterious Sky Sect had nothing to do with the Mysterious Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, the four family heads, including the Mysterious Sky Sect's Great Sun Sect, all held the title of the honorary vice president of the Mysterious Heaven Chamber of Commerce, which made it seem as if there were tens of thousands of connections between them, but in reality, they had nothing to do with each other at all.

Zhou Qing had specifically asked Zhou Wanchun, the leader of the Zhou Family, about the company. Zhou Wanchun had warned Zhou Wanchun that even the Mysterious Sky Sect and the Four Great Families would not dare to act rashly in front of the company.

Thinking of the old man who had carefully taken care of him after his parents passed away, Zhou Qing's heart felt like it was being cut by knives. Zhou Wanchun was Zhou Xuelang's grandfather, and also Zhou Qing's grandfather.

At the time of the incident, the Zhou Wanchun Demon Hunt had yet to return. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Zhou Xuan Lang's place to throw him into the voodoo water.

At this point in time, Zhou Qing did not plan to seek Zhou Wanchun's help or explain anything to him. Firstly, he had the Taoist Master Great Sun cover the sky with one hand, and rashly informed Zhou Wanchun that this would only bring about a calamity to him, and secondly, he did not want to expose his current identity.

Only when he grew stronger and reached the realms of a true person would he be able to personally investigate the grievances and wash away all the shame.

Of course, the most important reason why the Wan An Chamber of Commerce could surpass all the other major companies in the Profound Sky Continent was because their rules were very strict. Whether it was the Beast Battling Arena, the martial arena, or even the Demon Hunt Squad List, there was no inside information about them.

The auction that was held every three months had always been packed with guests.

The guest rooms under the inn were also equipped with protective talismans. Once activated, one could not only enter closed-door cultivation and not be afraid of being disturbed, but could also avoid being chosen by their enemies. This was because no one was causing trouble at the Wan-An Inn.

There was only one main entrance, and in front of the pillars on both sides of the entrance stood a lifelike stone lion. If one looked closely, they would notice that every time a guest entered, the stone lion's eyes would turn a little.

"Big Brother Zhou Qing, I was just good …" I think I can see the stone lion by the door move! " Song Zixuan held onto Zhou Qing's sleeve tightly as she spoke softly without taking a step back.

Zhou Qing smiled and consoled him, saying, "Don't be afraid, that's only the Heaven's Eyes Formation of the Wan An Chamber of Commerce. It is used to check if there is any evil Yin Qi inside the body of the person who enters the chamber of commerce to prevent demons and demonic cultivators from sneaking in."

"No wonder Grandfather never mentioned coming here." Song Zixuan stuck out her tongue.

As the two of them stepped into the Wan An Merchant Guild, they instantly felt an extremely oppressive aura blowing towards them. Song Zixuan instinctively retreated behind Zhou Qing.

"There are many people with profound magic power gathered here, which is why it is a little stifling. If you are not used to it, I will send you to the Wan An Inn first. You just have to wait for me there." Zhou Qing held onto Song Zixuan, helping her block most of the pressure as he spoke.

"Big Brother Zhou Qing came here for me. I'm fine." Song Zixuan shook her head, her little face filled with determination.

Before the two of them entered the city, they had already agreed on Zhou Qing's new identity: the pseudonym Song Changqing, and Song Zixuan's way of addressing him as brother and sister.

Behind the counter of the Wan An Chamber of Commerce stood three middle-aged men dressed in the same uniform. One of them saw Zhou Qing and Song Zixuan walk in and asked expressionlessly: "Buy it or sell it?"

Zhou Qing took out a magic tool and placed it on the counter. This was the item he had prepared beforehand as a legacy of the Divine Corpse Ancestor.

"High-grade magic tool!" The middle-aged man's stiff face showed slight emotion. He picked up the magical equipment and slowly injected spirit energy into it. His expression instantly changed as he cried out involuntarily, "There's actually … Six?! "

From the highest to the lowest, magic tools were of the upper, middle, and lower rank. Only cultivators at the Spirit Realm or above could condense magic power to inscribe inscriptions. The more inscription patterns there were, the stronger the power of the magical equipment, and the higher the price.

However, in the end, metal carrying capacity was limited, and for normal steel and black iron, the four lines of inscriptions were the limit. Once there were too many inscriptions, exceeding the carrying capacity of the magic tool, the magic tool would be broken and destroyed, so the inscription pattern also required success rate, and the fourth line of inscriptions very tested the magic power controlling ability of the engraver, so the success rate of the magic tool was less than ten percent out of a hundred.

If he wanted to attach the fifth inscription, then he would have to rely on the real person to succeed. The realm of the real person was the highest level of existence in the Profound Heaven Continent.

The magical equipment that Zhou Qing had taken out had a total of six inscription patterns. It was no wonder that even a shop assistant with such a high level of knowledge felt moved by it.

In truth, this magical artifact was only the weakest of the few that the Divine Corpse Ancestor had left behind. If it were the old Zhou Qing, he would have treated it as a treasure and kept it for the clan.

But now, Zhou Qing had some understanding of the "Ten Thousand Spirit Curse". These magical artifacts must have been personally carved by the Divine Corpse Grandmaster through the "Ten Thousand Spirit Curse" technique. Once Zhou Qing broke through to the Spirit Realm, he could easily inscribe ten inscription patterns on his weapon.

"Name your price." Zhou Qing's expression was calm, causing one to be unable to see clearly what was going on.

When he looked at Zhou Qing again, there was a hint of politeness in his expression. Although Zhou Qing's aura was only at the late stage of Spirit Opening, he could at least prove that there was a genuine person standing behind him, so he cautiously opened his mouth and said, "Generally the price of a high-grade magic tool is around three thousand gold. Although there are only two more inscription patterns on it, the price is different, how about eight thousand gold for you?"

"What if there are ten of these?" The company's reputation guaranteed that it wouldn't do anything unscrupulous for such a small thing, so Zhou Qing went ahead and sold it off boldly.

"Ten …" "Ten items, all of them are six inscription pattern magic tools?" The middle-aged man revealed a shocked expression and immediately bowed, "This matter involves too much money, so I can't make the decision. Sir, please wait in the side hall for a moment."

Under the lead of another middle-aged man, Zhou Qing and Song Zixuan arrived at a side room behind the counter. The interior was simply decorated. There was a table and four master chairs, but they were all made of extremely expensive wood.

"I wonder if the Wan An Merchant Guild will be able to find what I want …" Zhou Qing sat on the teacher's chair, anxiety in his heart.

"The original bodies of the other chambers of commerce might not be able to guarantee it, but you can rest assured that this company will have a much greater background than you can imagine." The voice of the Curse Spirit sounded in Zhou Qing's mind.

"Do you know the mysterious chairman of the company?" Zhou Qing was also curious as to the background of the company that the Leader of the Mysterious Sky Sect and the Patriarchs of the four great families respected.

"Hehe, the entire Profound Sky Continent's Wan An Merchant Guild is only a branch, where would the chairman come from!" These are matters of a different plane. Right now, they are a little far away from you. You only need to remember that the Thousand An Merchant Guild is not a merchant guild of your Profound Sky Continent.

"Upper Realm? the Immortal World? " The Curse Spirit had told Zhou Qing that it came from the Celestial Realm. However, the Celestial Realm had always been a legend and had never seen anyone from the Celestial Realm before. However, only a magical place like the Immortal World was able to produce such a tyrannical technique like the [Ten Thousand Spirit Curse].

"Profound Heaven Continent is only a continent on a small planet. When you become a real person, you will know just how vast this world is!" The Curse Spirit sighed and didn't say anything more. It seemed to be lost in long memories.

At this time, a beautiful woman with a mole at the corner of her eyes pushed open the door. She sat down in an armchair next to Zhou Qing and said with a smile, "I am the steward of this house, Bai Feng. Everyone calls me Big Sister Feng. What may I call you, sir?"

Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed. This woman was not simple. From the moment she opened the door to her seat, she seemed very casual, but did not make any sound. Her pair of eyes seemed gentle, but they were filled with essence. She was definitely a mage.

Such a young Spirit Realm expert was rare even in the Four Great Families.

"My surname is Song, and the item is here." Zhou Qing pointed at the ten instruments he had placed on the table and calmly said.

Surname Song... There was no Song surnamed among the powerful immortal gate clans in the Xuan Tian Continent … Sui Baifeng knitted her eyebrows slightly and picked up one of the magic tools to carefully examine it.

The inscriptions on this weapon were indeed six times more mysterious than the previous ones. Even Bai Feng was impressed by this kind of inscriptions.

Possessing such an ancient magic tool, one would either have a family that had existed for a long time, or they would be lucky enough to excavate such a treasure in the ruins of an immortal gate. There was no surname 'Song' in the big families, so it seemed to be the latter. However, recently, no one had heard of so many high grade magic tools appearing in any of the Immortal Gate ruins. It was really hard for people to figure it out.

"How much do you want for these ten magic tools?" Sui Baifeng put down her magic tool and looked at Zhou Qing. She revealed a charming smile and asked to test him.
