Chapter 1826
Shocks Four Parties
"Young friend, I'll wander around by myself."
"After Fellow Daoist Hunyuan returns to Immortal City, have him come to the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance headquarters in Immortal City to find me."
Ling Pengyun spoke briefly to Huntu Daojun.
He then headed towards the headquarters of the Lingxiao Business Alliance on his own.
"Alright, senior!"
Seeing that he had finally managed to safely send away that great Buddha Ling Pengyun, Huntu Daojun breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not let his guard down because of this, and continued to use the Immortal City's great formation to guard against Ling Pengyun.
'By the way, that senior's concealment skills were truly formidable. If he hadn't revealed himself earlier, I'm afraid even with all my might using the sixth-grade low-level city-protecting array within the Immortal City to search the surrounding area, I would have had a very difficult time detecting his presence.'
"Furthermore, ordinary cultivators at the Void Refinement stage don't possess such abilities, and even the Ancestor couldn't accomplish this. After all, the array's detection capabilities are extremely strong. In fact, years ago, to enhance the array's detection effectiveness, the Ancestor specifically sought out an array master to recast the array using special spiritual materials."
'Indirectly, that great formation can easily detect the whereabouts of cultivators below the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.'
'Judging from this, it seems that Senior Lingxiao is quite capable. His strength might even surpass that of our ancestor. Our ancestor should pay close attention to Senior Lingxiao to avoid bringing trouble upon himself.'
Immediately afterward, Huntu Daojun gave Ling Pengyun a deep look, and then quickly used a special communication method to contact Hunyuan Tianjun, who was stationed outside to oversee the Hunyuan lineage's army, and emphasized that Ling Pengyun was suspected of having formidable strength.
He then anxiously awaited the return of the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
……
At this moment, inside the Immortal City.
In addition, when Ling Pengyun registered his name, he deliberately used amplification techniques to amplify his speech countless times.
Therefore, his previous words spread throughout the entire Immortal City.
Countless cultivators within also learned of his true identity.
Countless cultivators were utterly shocked by this.
"No wonder the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance has developed into a top-tier Nascent Soul Merchant Alliance in just a few hundred years, and it is even rumored that it has recently expanded its business to the Jinyuan Market."
"..."
Many cultivators were particularly moved by this.
As a result, the reputation of Lingxiao Business Alliance also skyrocketed.
Even the businesses of his various stores have seen a significant improvement in business.
"By the way, it is said that the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance not only has strong backing, but also has a wide range of expertise in various fields. They are not only good at weapon crafting, but also at alchemy and other fields. Therefore, they often put out all kinds of treasures for sale."
"Furthermore, it is said that powerful forces with strong backing generally prefer to pursue long-term development, so it is safer to buy spiritual items from shops under such forces."
"We can go and take a look later."
"..."
Many cultivators made plans.
……
at the same time.
Inside the headquarters of Lingxiao Business Alliance.
It was a three-story building, the most prosperous shop in the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance, which even sold fifth-grade top-quality spiritual items.
There is also a small courtyard attached to it, which covers at least several acres and contains extremely rich spiritual energy.
Therefore, many high-ranking members of the Lingxiao Business Alliance who are based in the Immortal City prefer to live here.
At this moment, inside that small courtyard.
After entering this place from the outside, Ling Pengyun began to look around.
"This place is quite good; it's even enough to support several Nascent Soul cultivators at the same time."
"Furthermore, it is located within the Immortal City, which is relatively safe. If you think about it carefully, this place is probably quite valuable."
"It's quite remarkable that the Merchant Alliance was able to acquire such a valuable location."
Seeing the situation here, Ling Pengyun sighed inwardly.
In addition, his previous entry into the market caused quite a stir.
As a result, the senior members of the business alliance who were quietly cultivating in various rooms of this small courtyard were all disturbed and hurriedly went out to see what was going on.
About 70% of them were people placed in the merchant alliance by their families, while the remaining 30% were shop owners from the Immortal City who established the merchant alliance with Ling Wantong, the leader of the alliance, in the early years.
When they saw Ling Pengyun's figure, their expressions varied.
'Huh? Who is this...?'
'Could it be that Ancestor Pengyun invited them to lend his support?'
Because the family members hadn't seen through Ling Pengyun's disguise, they were quite unfamiliar with his current appearance and were somewhat puzzled. However, after Ling Pengyun privately informed them of his true identity, they immediately beamed with joy.
'It's Ancestor Pengyun? I didn't expect Ancestor Pengyun to have entered the Void Refinement stage. With this, our family's foundation can definitely see a massive increase.'
'...'
As for the remaining 30% of shop owners in the business alliance, since they had never heard of Ling Pengyun, they didn't think much of it and were overjoyed.
'Is this our Lingxiao Merchant Alliance... that Void Refinement Ancestor?'
'Furthermore, it seems... that agreeing to establish a business alliance with Wan Tong friends back then was the right choice.'
'I never imagined that we, as rogue cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of the Nascent Soul realm, would one day be able to join a force with a Void Refinement expert in charge, and even become high-ranking figures in that force.'
'Truly, their ancestors were blessed with good fortune!'
The shop owners were filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, they respectfully bowed to Ling Pengyun.
"This junior greets Ancestor Lingxiao..."
"..."
"No need for formalities. By the way, is Wantong still expanding its business alliance in Jinyuan Market?"
Ling Pengyun waved his hand, then, noticing that the leader of the business alliance, Ling Wantong, was not among the group, he asked curiously.
"That's right. In addition, the Alliance Leader also took 70% of the Alliance's senior management and a large number of people to Jin Yuan Market. After all, the Alliance is in dire need of rebuilding there. Whether it's buying or renting shops or negotiating with various forces to purchase basic spiritual items, they need reliable people to oversee things."
"As a result, the alliance leader and others have been extremely busy recently. It is even rumored that the alliance leader has been socializing non-stop and has not even had time to cultivate."
"By the way, Ancestor, should we inform the Alliance Leader to return?"
When everyone saw that Ling Pengyun mentioned Ling Wantong's name, and since they had long heard that Ling Wantong and Ling Pengyun had a close relationship, and since they already admired Ling Wantong, they took the opportunity to say some good things about Ling Wantong.
"No need. After all, the priority right now is to expand our business in Jinyuan Market, and I can rest assured that he's in charge there."
"Furthermore, it's good that they're so keen on expanding their business."
"By the way, since he is not here and I have nothing to do at the moment, you can tell me about the business situation in Immortal City."
After hearing that Ling Wantong was extremely concerned about the business alliance, Ling Pengyun was even more satisfied with him. Then, he gave instructions to the group of senior business alliance members in front of him.
"Yes, Ancestor..."
When everyone present saw Ling Pengyun praising Ling Wantong to himself, they immediately realized that he had been right to say nice things earlier.
In addition, although the business situation of the business alliance is a secret and cannot be disclosed casually.
However, Ling Pengyun was, after all, the backer of the business alliance, and it was rumored that Ling Wantong established the business alliance mainly because of Ling Pengyun's instructions.
Indirectly, Ling Pengyun can also be considered the true master of the business alliance.
In this way, it would be in accordance with the rules for them to want to know about the business alliance.
They then explained in detail the situation of the Merchant Alliance in the Immortal City.
They even handed the business alliance's ledgers to Ling Pengyun for him to look at.
Furthermore, the ledger was compiled by all the senior members of the business alliance present, and its contents were extremely accurate.
After all, it is extremely difficult to fake this, and it requires that the senior members of the business alliance present be of one mind.
But how is that possible?
Many of them are family members.
"So, after Wantong went to Jinyuan Market, he handed over all the business here to you?"
"Moreover, under your management in recent years, the business here has not only been running steadily, but has also improved by one or two percent?"
"It seems you are quite capable; you deserve a reward."
While reviewing the ledgers, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but be particularly satisfied with the business acumen of everyone present.
In addition, during his early correspondence with Ling Wantong, he had heard Ling say that the current business alliance leaders were quite capable.
Therefore, he directly took out a lot of good things from his storage bag and bestowed them upon everyone present.
Among those good items were even rare and precious items such as high-level breakthrough spirit objects.
This surprised and delighted everyone present, and they held Ling Pengyun in even higher esteem.
'As expected of an expert in the Void Refinement stage, the Ancestor's generosity is truly remarkable.'
