Chapter 952 - 696: Cyan Dome Tree City

Chapter 952: Chapter 696: Cyan Dome Tree City

Half a day later.

Qin Ming had already arrived in the large Immortal City of the Wood Crystal Race, named ’Cyan Dome Tree City’.

The environment here was still the same as before, not much had changed.

A towering Jianmu pierced the sky, possibly reaching tens of thousands of feet high, but due to the high-tier array blocking above, Divine Thought couldn’t explore it freely.

The trunk was densely packed with stairs and numerous vine passageways, forming a spiraling, intertwined network of transportation.

The root portion on the lower layer was the basic infrastructure area, and there were some inns and shops on the trunk, where most cultivators conducted trades, gathering many loose cultivators.

Further up was the cultivation sacred land for the Wood Crystal Race, where the spiritual qi was extremely abundant, and there were even floating islands.

The ancient tree branches spread in all directions, and there were even many human race cultivators and alien race cultivators doing business inside.

It was truly prosperous.

For this city was not only the cultivation land for the Wood Crystal Race, but also a major city of trade.

The Wood Crystal Race was quite skilled in commerce and trade, something Qin Ming deeply felt when he first arrived in the Spirit Realm.

Back then, old man Muu Kun mentioned that the Wood Crystal Race had several large commerce associations, known throughout the entire Spirit Realm, with Great Powers in the Integration Stage holding the fort, indicating their deep foundation.

It’s just that the region of the Red-Blue Immortal Wild was relatively remote, not a core area.

Even so, a large-scale Cyan Tree Immortal City was forcibly developed, showing the high intelligence of the Wood Crystal Race.

Qin Ming had been here once before, so he was no stranger to this place.

Only last time, it was to use the cross-domain transmission array, and he didn’t stay long.

This time, he could properly tour this city with its unique scenery.

At this moment, he was disguised as a Wood Crystal Race youth with slightly blue skin and pointed ears.

The cultivation of the Giant Spirit Race relies on drawing strength from mountains and rivers, and starry skies.

And the cultivation of the Wood Crystal Race, Qin Ming already knew roughly, relied on Spirit Plant Coexistence bonds.

It was somewhat similar to his own cultivation of lifebound spirit plant.

However, he didn’t delve deeply into it, so he didn’t know the specifics.

Since the Taiyi Yin Jade, a heaven and earth spiritual object, appeared within the Wood Crystal Race, there would inevitably be some rumors within Cyan Dome Tree City.

He had come to a restaurant in the trunk area to gather information.

Rather than immediately seeking out that old man Muu Kun.

After all, after so many years, he didn’t even know if the other party was still serving in this Immortal City.

Qin Ming ordered a few exquisite Wood Crystal Race specialty dishes and a pot of spirit wine, sitting by the window, delightfully enjoying the view outside.

This scene made the Heaven-Devouring Rat in the Little Spirit Realm restless, drooling and itching to take its place...

’These outside spirit wines are quite dull to drink...’

’Perhaps after returning to Little Turtle Peak, I could experiment with brewing some other high-tier spirit wines.’

While Qin Ming was contemplating this.

The neighboring table began their discussion:

"Hey! Have you heard?"

"The selection for the general steward of the ’Nine Spirits Commerce Association’ in the Immortal City is about to commence."

"Nine Spirits Commerce Association? That’s a major commerce association ranked very highly even within our race, and Cyan Dome Tree City is just a part of its industries."

"How come there wasn’t any prior rumor about such an important matter?"

"I heard a prodigious genius emerged within the race, with unmatched diligence and outstanding talent in both cultivation and commerce."

"You must be referring to Qian Mo Fairy, right?"

"Indeed, I heard the top is already preparing to hand over the pivotal position in the Nine Spirits Commerce Association to Qian Mo Fairy for management. This is inside information, and it took me quite a while to find out. It’s likely the Nine Spirits Commerce Association will officially announce an appointment soon."

"Wouldn’t that be a meteoric rise? Truly enviable!"

"Indeed, the Nine Spirits Commerce Association’s businesses span the entire Spirit Realm. Even being the general steward of just one Immortal City branch holds considerable power."

Qin Ming listened quietly from the side, somewhat surprised in his heart.

’I truly didn’t expect... the young Wood Crystal Race girl I once had some interaction with has, after over a hundred years, climbed to such a high position.’

’The Taiyi Yin Jade I’m seeking shouldn’t be that difficult to obtain. Since it’s within the Wood Crystal Race, perhaps I can acquire it through her channels.’

Qin Ming made up his mind, then asked around about the location of the Nine Spirits Commerce Association in Cyan Dome Tree City.

Soon after, he set off disguised as Lii Qianjie.

Half an hour later.

Qin Ming traversed through the dense stairways and vine-constructed streets to the upper layer of the giant tree, arriving in front of a grand pavilion.

The plaque above was inscribed in the universal Spirit Realm language, with the words "Nine Spirits Commerce Association, Cyan Dome Branch" gracefully scripted.

Qin Ming stepped into the hall, and soon a slim maid came to welcome him, revealing a professional smile as she inquired:

"Esteemed master, are you here to sell items or purchase something? Our commerce association has everything you might need and can certainly meet your requirements."

Though the female cultivator noticed Qin Ming’s unfathomable aura, as a member of the Nine Spirits Commerce Association, she was poised and did not show fear.

"Is your new branch leader present here? I wish to meet her," Qin Ming stated his intention straightforwardly.
