Chapter 1828
The Invitation of the Primordial Heavenly Lord
Soon after.
The backyard of Lingxiao Business Alliance headquarters.
'That person... has finally returned from the endless river of void.'
While chatting with the senior members of the Lingxiao Business Alliance who were stationed there, Ling Pengyun subtly sensed the arrival of Hunyuan Tianjun with his powerful divine sense.
In addition, Hunyuan Tianjun is, after all, the lord of Hunyuan Immortal City, and such a person who has entered the Void Refinement stage for thousands of years usually has many tricks up his sleeve and should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, Ling Pengyun's main purpose in coming to Hunyuan Immortal City this time was simply to intimidate the Hunyuan lineage, so as to prevent them from causing any trouble when they led the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance to attack the small realm.
They did not come to provoke us.
Therefore, Ling Pengyun temporarily stopped what he was doing, turned around and walked out of the backyard to greet Hunyuan Tianjun, who had just entered the Lingxiao Business Alliance headquarters.
Soon, the two met in the headquarters lobby.
"I am Ling Xiao, and I greet Fellow Daoist Hunyuan."
"By the way, I often hear my Daoist partner and my juniors say that the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance I founded is often taken care of by seniors, which is of great benefit to the development of the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance."
"Therefore, please accept my next bow."
Ling Pengyun looked at the somewhat obese and noble-looking Hunyuan Tianjun, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then cupped his hands and smiled.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a top-grade fifth-level defensive magic artifact, the Thick Earth Magic Shield, which he had recently crafted, and presented it to Hunyuan Tianjun as a gift of gratitude.
In addition, although the magic shield was not of a high grade, its quality was good.
Therefore, its power is far beyond that of other spiritual treasures of the same level, and it even has one or two tenths of the power of a low-grade sixth-level spiritual treasure. Even for cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage, it is a pretty good item.
Correspondingly, its value is also relatively high, and it wouldn't be too devalued even if given to a Void Refinement Realm expert like Hunyuan Tianjun.
Secondly, Ling Pengyun is, after all, a high-level weapon refiner, so the cost for him to refine such things is not particularly high. Therefore, even if he gives away such things, he will not lose too much.
Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, the Hunyuan lineage had indeed taken care of the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance in the past, so they were worthy of such a token of gratitude.
at the same time.
'This person's... cultivation level... is indeed as difficult to detect as that kid Hun Tu's use of the Immortal City formation.'
'This person's methods are indeed extraordinary.'
At this moment, Hunyuan Tianjun, who had just seen Ling Pengyun, trembled upon seeing that Ling Pengyun had no aura and that even his best investigation methods could not detect his presence. He also felt a great deal of apprehension towards Ling Pengyun.
Furthermore, although Ling Pengyun is extremely polite these days, one must still be wary of such a powerful figure.
Therefore, he secretly prepared to activate the Immortal City's grand formation at any time using a special method, in order to prevent any trouble from arising later.
After everything was settled, he felt at ease, and a smile appeared on his face as he began to chat with Ling Pengyun.
“Fellow Daoist Pengyun, you are too kind. Although my Hunyuan Lineage Merchant Alliance has indeed taken care of your alliance, this is mainly because your alliance has an extremely strong foundation in all arts and crafts, even stronger than ordinary old-brand top-level Nascent Soul Merchant Alliances.”
"Furthermore, my Hunyuan lineage has only risen to prominence in a few thousand years, and we are not skilled in the arts and crafts, so we have shortcomings in this area."
"Therefore, my Hunyuan lineage is eagerly anticipating the development of your alliance and other merchant alliances, so as to make up for the shortcomings of my Hunyuan lineage and make the reputation of Hunyuan Immortal City even more renowned."
"Secondly, it is already an honor for my Hunyuan lineage that you have come to my Immortal City this time. Why have you presented such a precious gift? This is truly a noble act."
Hunyuan Tianjun accepted the magic shield without hesitation and said politely.
Besides, he was an old fox after all, and he had guessed Ling Pengyun's purpose for coming long ago.
Therefore, in his remarks, he directly stated that he would not interfere with the development of the Lingxiao Business Alliance.
That's why Ling Pengyun's smile deepened.
"You're absolutely right, senior."
Ling Pengyun said with a smile.
"Furthermore, I had long heard of your formidable abilities, and seeing them today confirms it. My apologies for my disrespect." "By the way, fellow Daoist, we are both cultivators at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, and it's possible that your strength is even greater. Therefore, please don't call me senior. Let's just address each other as fellow Daoist."
Hunyuan Tianjun then continued.
"That's fine too."
Ling Pengyun nodded.
Then, the two chatted briefly.
During this time, Hunyuan Tianjun became quite curious about Ling Pengyun's background and asked him some questions.
Ling Pengyun naturally wouldn't tell the truth, but simply brushed it off by saying he started as a rogue cultivator.
He then brought up the small-scale war launched by the Hunyuan lineage, as well as the situation of his own forces participating in the war.
"Our Hunyuan lineage has been preparing for the war in that small realm for many years, and we even called on a large number of merchant alliance forces to help us. In addition, the master behind that Ghost Dao small realm is not strong. Therefore, the progress of this matter is quite good."
"In fact, we have a huge advantage, and this matter may be resolved in a few months."
"Moreover, thanks to your excellent training, the strength of the people under your alliance who participated in the battle is quite good. In fact, not only did they not lose any people, but they also made a lot of contributions. They can certainly receive a lot of rewards afterward."
"I am truly envious of this."
The Primordial Heavenly Lord praised him.
"Haha, I can get a lot of extra rewards? That's not bad."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun nodded secretly.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Pengyun, are you interested in overseeing the battle in the minor realms?"
"How about we go over there together later and take charge?"
"If you agree, after the matter is accomplished, my Hunyuan lineage can share more of the benefits of the Ghost Dao Minor Realm with your alliance. In fact, your alliance can obtain the right to use 30% of the Ghost Veins within that Ghost Dao Minor Realm for three thousand years."
Hunyuan Tianjun had a sudden thought and made a suggestion.
In addition, he had two purposes in doing this.
Firstly, Ling Pengyun's strength is formidable, and the battle to attack the Ghost Path Minor Realm is prone to unforeseen events.
If a powerful Void Refinement cultivator like Ling Pengyun could be in charge, this matter would be more secure.
Furthermore, Ling Pengyun's Lingxiao Business Alliance still has a considerable number of people involved in the battle.
Even Ling Pengyun's wife and clansmen were among them.
Moreover, the benefits of that small ghost realm are not particularly plentiful.
Under such circumstances, Hunyuan Tianjun was not afraid that Ling Pengyun would cause trouble over there.
Secondly, he intended to take this opportunity to curry favor with powerful Void Refinement cultivators like Ling Pengyun.
As for the past, he had only heard that Ling Pengyun was a rogue cultivator, so he did not pay much attention to Ling Pengyun. He only promised Lingxiao Merchant Alliance that if they participated in the war, they would only give him half to one-tenth of the right to use the Ghost Vein.
The benefits of this are several times greater than the right to use 30% of the Ghost Vein, and the advantages they contain are also vastly different.
This pleased Ling Pengyun quite a bit.
"Furthermore, according to that fellow Daoist Hunyuan, the inter-realm war will only last for a few more months at most, and that period won't be long."
"Furthermore, since Madam and the others are fighting there, if I could go, I could look after them. Besides, this is the first time I've encountered an attack on a small realm under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm, so it would be worthwhile to go and see for myself and broaden my horizons."
Ling Pengyun pondered for a moment.
He then agreed to the matter. (End of Chapter)
