Chapter 692 - 85: Two Years of Cultivation (3)

The idea is quite splendid.

"My dear grandson, be at ease; this matter holds significant importance, and I need to ponder carefully," Li Ji’an simulated the mindset of the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws and said perfunctorily.

"Grandson bows in gratitude to the Ancestor!" Master Chunyuan bowed deeply.

Based on his understanding of the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, as long as it’s not outright rejected, there is hope.

After watching Master Chunyuan leave, Li Ji’an examined the pill medicine he bestowed one by one.

He only put them away after confirming their authenticity.

"This old fox’s alchemy skill has indeed improved further." Li Ji’an highly acknowledged his alchemy skill and was keen to take in his entire alchemy inheritance.

However, for now, there was no suitable reason.

After storing away the pill medicine, Li Ji’an gently embraced Ning Sujin: "My dear wife, after two years of cultivation, you’ve worked hard. Now with just the perfect time to digest and absorb, I’ll take you to see the unique system and customs of the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain."

After two years of dual cultivation, the progress in cultivation was rapid, and Li Ji’an desperately needed some stabilization.

Ning Sujin’s Chaos Law is about to break through to the late period of Foundation Establishment.

Currently, his Tier Three Mid-stage Body Cultivation is almost stagnant due to the lack of support from earth spiritual essence, and he is at a loss.

The progress of puppetry skill and talisman art is restricted due to the scarcity of high-tier spiritual materials.

Refining the divine soul is stabilized at the late stage of Core Formation while practicing "Thousand Mechanisms Guide" and contemplating "Bloodthirsty Chain," unless his Golden Core cultivation advances further, it’s difficult to improve, as he doesn’t have a superior soul cultivation method.

Ning Sujin’s soul cultivation method leans towards the demon dao, which may have many drawbacks.

Therefore, while fulfilling his promise to Ning Sujin this time, he also wanted to see if he could encounter an opportunity for high-tier spiritual materials.

"Thank you, dear husband!" Ning Sujin was overjoyed, and back in the Celestial Cyan Domain, she found the domain situation described by Li Ji’an about the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain to be incredible and intriguing.

The next day, before setting off, the couple first visited Tong Yaoyao’s dao field.

Besides making greetings, Li Ji’an also wanted to probe the situation regarding high-tier spiritual materials and the current political maneuvering within the business alliance.

"Fellow Daoist Wu greets the senior!" Just as they arrived outside Tong Yaoyao’s dao field, they coincidentally encountered Wu Weixiong, who was about to leave.

Two years ago, Wu Weixiong harbored the intent to die but was saved by Li Ji’an’s medical skill, which repaired his damaged heart vessels.

Thereafter, sincerely invited by Tong Yaoyao, he decided to follow her and became an honored guest elder of the Tong Family.

Over the last two years, Tong Yaoyao treated him as a national hero, and he reciprocated by serving diligently. With his Tier Three Body Cultivation and Tier Three Great Demon, the Earth-Split Bear, together with "Taigu Demon-Suppressing Fist," he became a formidable warrior of the Nine Tripods Commerce Association.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, no need for formalities. Is Clan Leader Tong present?" Li Ji’an smiled and nodded.

"Senior, the clan leader just mentioned she intends to visit you," Wu Weixiong responded truthfully.

"Oh? Does Fellow Daoist Wu know the reason?" Li Ji’an asked with a smile.

Wu Weixiong looked troubled and considered, "Senior, please forgive me. This matter involves secrecy... it’s best if the Clan Leader informs you personally."

"I was presumptuous. Please, Fellow Daoist Wu." Li Ji’an acknowledged without concern.

Wu Weixiong’s expression relaxed, and he bowed before taking his leave.

Soon, Li Ji’an met Tong Yaoyao and understood the described secrecy.

"Ping’an, as anticipated, the current political maneuvering within the business alliance is intense. Fierce Tiger Commerce Association and Taian Commerce Association are now battling fiercely.

There is only one year left, and we must act accordingly."

After two years of experience as Clan Leader, Tong Yaoyao became even more mature and steady.

Her words and conduct were quite tactful and efficient.

"We urgently need someone who can represent the Nine Tripods Commerce Association, or even myself, to gain support from several commerce associations. However, this matter must not be known by the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association and Taian Commerce Association, or it might provoke their vigilance.

Thus, selecting the right person is of utmost importance.

The person must be someone I trust implicitly, and on the other hand, should not attract external alertness.

Ping’an, you are not part of the Tong Family, and outwardly you are merely a tributor, which makes you the most suitable.

Coincidentally, this time the Yaochi Commerce Association hosts a small trading conference in Linchun Immortal City specifically for transactions involving high-tier spiritual talent.

Not only might there be the high-tier spiritual materials you need among them, but also significant figures from commerce associations that we need to particularly win over.

If you are willing, the association will cover all expenses for the trading conference."
