#363 - The eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce, An Jiayue

Chapter 363: Miss of the Chamber of Commerce, An Jiayue

Yuzhou, Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce.

By the spirit pond, an old man with white hair hanging down his shoulders was quietly fishing with a fishing rod, and next to him was a girl with pink hair squatting and watching intently with her hands on her cheeks.

This old man is the president of the Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce, An Wenxin, and the girl next to him is his granddaughter, An Jiayue.

Suddenly, a sound of air being torn apart came from overhead, and a figure descended from the sky, landing beside the two of them. It was a middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard.

"Father, I have something to report!"

The middle-aged man said urgently.

Ripples spread across the water surface, the old man's face darkened, and he turned his head unhappily and said, "What are you shouting for? Can't you see I'm fishing? What's the matter that can't wait?"

This middle-aged man is his eldest son, An Zhiyuan, and also the vice president of the Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce.

The Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce has extremely strong power, with a history of tens of thousands of years. Its sphere of influence covers the entire Yuzhou, and it almost controls the economic lifeline of the entire Yuzhou. It even possesses a powerful private cultivator army, so even the great dynasties and imperial dynasties dare not easily offend them.

An Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Father, whatever fish you need, I'll get it for you later!"

"You know nothing!"

An Wenxin said unhappily, "What I enjoy is the process of fishing! What's the point of the fish you get?"

"Exactly!" An Jiayue cheered for her grandfather from the side: "Daddy, you don't understand the fun of fishing!"

This dead girl!

An Zhiyuan glared at his daughter and said seriously, "Father, do you know about the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce that emerged in Qingzhou?"

"I know."

An Wenxin said lightly, "Isn't it just a newly rising small force? They have some strength and means. What, do they have new moves again?"

In their opinion, although the newly emerged commercial power of the Evergreen Alliance is extraordinary, it is still not worthy of the Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce's attention. No matter how powerful this Evergreen Chamber of Commerce is, how powerful can it be?

Their Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce has existed for tens of thousands of years, and its profound foundation is unmatched even by the great dynasties.

"Take a look at this!"

An Zhiyuan took out a jade slip and handed it over.

An Wenxin took it and looked at it, his white eyebrows suddenly lifted, revealing a few traces of shock: "Seventh-order Life Extension Pill, seventh-order monster cub, seventh-order high-grade magic weapon… Does this Evergreen Alliance actually have such a foundation?"

So many seventh-order treasures, even the Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce would feel pressured to take them out at once, and this jade slip says that this is only a part?

What a joke!

How could a newly promoted Chamber of Commerce force have so many seventh-order treasures!

Could it be that they obtained the inheritance of some ancient great cultivator?

An Zhiyuan said solemnly, "The auction spirit tokens of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce are not only widely spread in Qingzhou, but also in the surrounding Yuzhou, Hongzhou, Chuzhou, etc. Many cultivators have already gone to Qingzhou to prepare to participate in this Evergreen auction."

Hearing this, An Wenxin immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and narrowed his eyes slightly: "This Evergreen Alliance has big ambitions. One Qingzhou can't satisfy their appetite, and they want to extend their hands to my Yuzhou?"

After pondering for a moment, An Wenxin slowly turned around and said, "Since the other party has already extended their hands into our territory, we can't have no reaction. Take someone to take a look and find out what the Evergreen Alliance is all about, whether it really has such a foundation, or whether it is just boasting and exaggerating. If it is the latter, there is nothing to worry about. If it is the former…"

An Wenxin suddenly burst out with a dangerous aura and sneered, "Then this Evergreen Alliance really has the potential to threaten our Southern Dipper Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, we can't be merciful to the enemy. We must let them understand that if their ability is insufficient, extending their hands too far will easily get them cut off!"

"Yes, Father!"

An Zhiyuan thought so too, and was about to leave immediately.

An Jiayue pouted and said, "Watching Grandpa fish is too boring, it's no fun. Dad, please take me! Don't always treat me like a child, I'm already several hundred years old!"

An Wenxin's old face darkened again.

My good granddaughter, it didn't seem like you were saying that just now.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Go, go, it's indeed boring to accompany an old man like me to fish. It's good to go out and see the world, but you have to follow your dad closely and don't run around. The outside world is not as safe as you think!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

An Jiayue was overjoyed.

"Dad, I'm going to handle serious business, it's not convenient to bring this girl…" An Zhiyuan still wanted to struggle a bit. He wanted to take this opportunity to experience the customs and culture of Qingzhou. With this girl, many things would naturally be difficult to handle.

An Wenxin turned his back to him, picked up the fishing rod again, cast the line again, and fished quietly without saying a word.

Okay, you have the final say.

An Zhiyuan sighed helplessly and flew into the sky with An Jiayue.

—

This time, not only the Mu family helped with the wide distribution of spirit tokens, but the Evergreen Alliance also contributed.

A large number of spirit tokens swept towards the surrounding states like rain, immediately attracting some cultivators.

Of course, some cultivators gave up due to various reasons, either being in seclusion, feeling that the journey was too far, or being short of spirit stones.

After all, no matter how good the things above are, you must have enough spirit stones to buy them.

Among them, there are many royal relatives and nobles, even ministers, from the great dynasties and imperial dynasties, as well as sects, chambers of commerce, and powerful individual cultivators from various states.

Among them, the most numerous are female cultivators from various states.

The spirit tokens scattered by the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce have special restrictions embedded in them, which can project the phantoms of some commodities. The exquisite and gorgeous robes and jewelry on them make these female cultivators unable to stop themselves, and they want to go to participate even if it is thousands of miles away.

Of course, the spirit token also stated that this auction has a threshold, and only those with a certain amount of spirit stone reserves are eligible to participate.

This is not because the Evergreen Alliance looks down on people, but because if there is no threshold, no matter how large the auction venue is, it cannot accommodate the many cultivators from various states.

Moreover, if you don't have enough spirit stones and can't afford to buy them, it's a waste of time to come.

After a period of preparation, and also to leave time for cultivators from farther places to travel.

Several months later.

Qingzhou, inside the imperial capital of the Chongxu Dynasty.

The major inns and restaurants are overcrowded, filled with cultivators from various places, with varying strengths, from the Integration Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, among which female cultivators even account for the majority, all coming by reputation.

"That's the Evergreen Auction House, right? It's so big!"

A cultivator from Yuzhou looked at a huge building in the distance with a shocked face and exclaimed.

This building has nine floors and covers a very wide area. Even from a distance, it can be seen clearly.

The local Qingzhou cultivator has an unspeakable sense of pride: "That's right, I heard that this building was authorized to be built by His Majesty himself, otherwise who would dare to build such a large building in the imperial capital!"

An Zhiyuan and others who heard this narrowed their eyes slightly.

It has even received the support of the Emperor of the Chongxu Dynasty. This Evergreen Alliance is indeed not simple…
