The Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Qianyue mainly gathers merchants, families, and individuals to trade goods and often holds various scales of auctions to share the profits. Of course, some chambers of commerce also have their own industries.
There are quite a few chambers of commerce in the capital city, most of which are branches sent by the headquarters.
"What is the name of your chamber of commerce?" Qin Jun curiously asked. A chamber of commerce that caught the eye of Qin Yu must be extraordinary.
"The Yanbei Chamber of Commerce," Yan Mobei said helplessly, causing Qin Jun's pupils to shrink.
The Yanbei Chamber of Commerce is the top-ranked local chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Qianyue, and no one is clear about its financial resources.
"It's impossible. With the wealth of the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce, can't you hire powerful bodyguards?" Qin Jun frowned and asked. His impression of the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce was simply that they were wealthy.
Money can make the devil push the millstone!
The strength of the Blood Blade Guards is generally at the Qi Refining stage. Qin Jun couldn't believe that the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce couldn't hire Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Yan Mobei said awkwardly, "As soon as those cultivators heard that we had offended the Fifth Prince, they all ran away..."
Qin Jun had overestimated the chamber of commerce. Most of the chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Qianyue are made up of ordinary people, and the goods they trade can at most attract Qi Refining stage cultivators, but they are also very rare. Therefore, the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce has not attracted many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. When they heard that the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce had offended the Fifth Prince, they all left without hesitation.
In the Kingdom of Qianyue, cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage are mostly disciples of major sects. After all, individual cultivators have few resources and are weak, making it difficult for them to achieve high levels of cultivation.
Nowadays, who in the cultivation world doesn't know that the Fifth Prince has a close relationship with the Purple Light Sect and is widely recognized as the future emperor? Who would dare to offend him?
Unless they don't want to stay in the Kingdom of Qianyue!
"The strength of this batch of Blood Blade Guards is considered low within the Blood Blade organization. Our Yan family's experts were all killed by stronger Blood Blade Guards, and those left are all old, weak, sick, and disabled. That's why they were sent to hunt us down and eradicate us," Yan Mobei said with a bitter smile.
Qin Jun couldn't help but narrow his eyes, but another thought emerged in his mind.
"You have offended Qin Yu, so it seems that you cannot continue to survive in the Kingdom of Qianyue," Qin Jun said, touching his chin, causing Yan Mobei to feel a sense of despair.
Indeed, even if they wanted to escape from the Kingdom of Qianyue, it was impossible because the Kingdom of Qianyue is separated from the surrounding kingdoms by desolate plains and forests, where various terrifying beasts lurk. Without the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, no one dares to leave the Kingdom of Qianyue.
It was obvious that Yan Mobei was not a high-level cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and neither were his three guards.
In this case, the Yan family was still facing a dead end.
"Ding! Triggered side quest—Subdue the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce! Upon completion of the quest, you will receive 4000 experience points and one random draw opportunity!"
The system prompt sounded in time, as Qin Jun had developed ambitions towards the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce, so it was not surprising to him.
Once the quest was completed, he could level up and also have the chance to draw a random reward!
The first time he drew a Desert Eagle, which could be considered a small killing weapon, so he was looking forward to the next draw.
"Join me. Qin Yu and I are archenemies, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend!" Qin Jun said frankly, causing Yan Mobei to be moved.
However, Yan Mobei did not immediately agree. If it were the Qin Jun from a month ago, he might have agreed.
But now, Qin Jun was a disgraced figure, and once he appeared in the capital, it would definitely provoke the wrath of the emperor.
Having offended the Fifth Prince was already miserable enough. If they offended the emperor as well, the Yan family would truly be in deep trouble.
"Don't worry, I came back this time to clear my name. I will settle you down and support the Yan family openly after I restore my status as a prince!" Qin Jun said with a light smile, understanding Yan Mobei's concerns.
Yan Mobei still felt uneasy, "But if these Blood Blade Guards don't return to report, the Fifth Prince will definitely send more assassins..."
"It's okay. Follow me into the city, and I will protect you!" Qin Jun waved his hand, and Yan Mobei felt that this was the best arrangement for now. As for fleeing, he didn't dare to think about it. Were there people in the Kingdom of Qianyue that Qin Yu couldn't find?
After that, Qin Jun walked towards the ten children, and Daji and the Xiong Tian Dog followed.
"Ding! Discovered a potential talent with the single spiritual root of the wind attribute!"
The system's prompt suddenly sounded, leaving Qin Jun stunned. Wind spiritual root?
To cultivate immortality, one must possess a spiritual root, which is also an important reason why there are few cultivators in the Kingdom of Qianyue, as most people do not have a spiritual root.
Qin Jun didn't know what a spiritual root looked like specifically, but all cultivators understand that the purer the spiritual root attribute, the better. When practicing corresponding attribute cultivation techniques, progress is more efficient.
If the spiritual root has too many mixed attributes, cultivation becomes difficult because the proportion of individual attribute spiritual roots is too small.
Being versatile sometimes means being mediocre.
Qin Jun himself had a mixed spiritual root aptitude, with attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Although it is suitable for practicing five-element cultivation techniques, achieving high levels of cultivation is almost impossible.
Five-element spiritual roots are common among cultivators, and having three attribute spiritual roots can be considered a genius, with cultivation progress far surpassing those with mixed spiritual roots or four-attribute spiritual roots.
Dual spiritual root aptitude is a treasure sought after by immortal sects.
Single spiritual root aptitude is also known as the heavenly spiritual root, a rare existence like a phoenix's feather and a unicorn's horn, with only one appearing in the Kingdom of Qianyue every few hundred years.
Wind attribute spiritual roots are extremely rare and do not belong to the five elements, but are even stronger.
Other rare attributes include thunder, light, and void, known as sacred spiritual roots. So far, apart from the three major sects, no other forces in the Kingdom of Qianyue have the ability to detect sacred spiritual root aptitude.
Information about the Holy Spirit Root, Qin Jun had only read about it in some books.
The Holy Spirit Root only exists in legends, which means the potential child discovered by the system may not have been found by the Yanbei Chamber of Commerce.
Following the system's prompt, Qin Jun looked at a young boy standing at the back. This boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, thin as a rail, but with very clear eyes. Although he was also crying, he did not appear as pitiful as the other children.
"What's his name?" Qin Jun pointed to the Wind Spirit Root boy and asked.
"He's called Yan San, my nephew, with no talent for cultivating immortality, rather mediocre," Yan Mobei explained hastily.
No talent for cultivating immortality?
Qin Jun chuckled inwardly, it seemed that he had guessed right.
Facing Qin Jun's gaze, Yan San quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
"Young master, you don't mean to subdue them, do you? They look very weak!" Daji asked in confusion, making Yan Mobei and his three guards extremely embarrassed.
At the same time, they instinctively sized up Daji. Apart from her stunning appearance, they couldn't see through Daji's background at all.
As if she were a mysterious fog, definitely not an ordinary person.
"Well, let's all go to the capital together next!" Qin Jun asserted without doubt. A powerful person in the Illusionary Realm like Daji would naturally look down on the Yan family, but he was well aware of the Chamber of Commerce's influence in the kingdom. After all, most of the Qianyue Kingdom consisted of ordinary people, and money, which was considered worthless by cultivators, was very attractive to ordinary people.
Most importantly, he had discovered the Wind Spirit Root genius, Yan San!
Once a Holy Spirit Root genius grew up, he would definitely be an earth-shattering figure.
