Chapter 593: 188 Mysterious Turtle Appears in the Sea_1
The origin of the Wanbao Trading Company, in fact, traces back to the Wanxian Palace and is backed by four top-class cultivating families that had jointly established the company many years ago.
After years of operation, the Wanbao Trading Company now uses the Fairy Cities within the Wanxian Palace as its foundation, and also operates neutral mega Fairy Cities like the City of Ten Monarchs, earning a reputation across the cultivating world of Daqian.
The True Monarch named He Xin, who was at the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm, was one of the core Elders of the Wanbao Trading Company. There were twenty such core Elders within the company. Apart from them, the company also had Worship Elders, mainly True Monarchs from different families at the Nascent Soul Realm, who were responsible for the company’s external affairs.
The True Monarch at the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, who was waiting in the box, was one of the Worship Elders, known as the Third Elder, his real name was Lei Tong and he was known by his Taoist name as True Monarch Lei Yan.
He Xin came and sat down next to Lei Tong and said with a frown, “It’s hard to discern. He probably has some magical weapons that conceal his cultivation.”
“Such a tight concealment, his appearance might be fake too. To investigate the bottom line of Yunxiao Dan Pavilion, we can only start from him.”
“As for the other three women cultivators at the stage of Core Formation, I’ve looked them up. They were the maids whom he bought from Jiuling Cave’s company many years ago. They probably don’t know much about him.”
Lei Tong lightly frowned, greatly surprised, “How can he hide so deeply? Why is this?”
Even though business is generally conducted openly among different forces in the black market, unraveling each other’s backgrounds is rather straightforward.
After all, as An Boyi had previously said, it’s impossible to get a foothold in the black market without a force backing you.
If the Yunxiao Dan Pavilion did not have real strength, it would be normal for them to get swallowed up by other forces.
Even worse, Yunxiao Dan Pavilion might just disappear completely and become a speck of dust passing through the river of time.
However, both Lei Tong and He Xin didn’t expect that the person from the Yunxiao Dan Pavilion hid so deeply that even He Xin couldn’t make out anything despite his personal investigation.
After a thought, Lei Tong said, “Forget it, anyone capable of concealing their cultivation level under your watchful eyes is not simple.”
“We better not provoke him.”
“No.” He Xin’s lips tilted slightly upward in calmness, “Though we cannot provoke him physically, it does not mean others can’t. If someone could uncover their truth for us, then it would be just as effective.”
“People die for wealth and birds die for food. He has a pile of resources in his hands, which would drive many people mad.”
Lei Tong thought about it and did not dissuade him, as this was merely one of their usual tactics.
Although they were not to be taken lightly after Su Yu’s warning, the mysterious Yunxiao Dan Pavilion unnerved them especially when they somehow managed to bring out 10,000 high-quality Tier 3 elixirs at once and were collecting Tier 5 materials for a teleportation array.
This mysterious force made people feel uneasy.
Understanding the real bottom line of Yunxiao Dan Pavilion would be beneficial to the Wanbao Trading Company.
At least knowing their bottom line, they would know how to deal with the Yunxiao Dan Pavilion and do business without being manipulated by them.
So Lei Tong only cautioned, “Be careful, don’t use the company’s power, the company does not want to invite such trouble.”
He Xin shrugged and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything, I will just secretly let some people or forces know that Yunxiao Dan Pavilion is wealthy.”
Having finished discussing this matter, they began to discuss the auction that would take place in a few days.
Wanbao Trading Company had a high reputation, and news of the auction had started being circulated years ago.
Also taking advantage of the Demon Clan’s desire to besiege City of Ten Monarchs, the City of Ten Monarchs was now full of cultivators.
Such an auction under these circumstances was destined to be an extraordinary event.
Besides the 10,000 Tier 3 high-quality elixirs they just got from the Yunxiao Dan Pavilion, the Wanbao Trading Company had gathered a lot of other treasures, enough to hold a large auction.
Meanwhile, at Yunxiao Dan Pavilion…
Su Yu handed the auction invitation from He Xin to Lin Qingxia, and said, “I will take you guys to see the excitement in the following days.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxia, Lin Bing, and Yang Yumin were immediately delighted. They rarely went out and rarely got to walk around with Su Yu.
Now that Su Yu suggested taking them to the auction to participate in such an event, the women were naturally pleased.
Lin Qingxia tucked away the invitation and continuously said, “Yes, yes, Master.”
Su Yu then checked the items in his hands. Teleportation array materials included over twenty kinds of Tier 5 materials, each used in significant quantities to forge the base and base point of the array, and to arrange the array with Void Stone as the core, enabling a cross-domain teleportation array.
As these materials had to withstand spatial forces, each was different and above Tier 5.
In Su Yu’s possession, including the materials collected by the Wanbao Trading Company, eight types of materials had been gathered. There were six types where the quantity was not sufficient, so he had roughly collected one-fifth of what he needed.
It probably cost around 150 or 160 ten thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones.
After all, these were Tier 5 materials, and the amount needed was huge for each type.
These Tier 5 materials can even be used to forge mid-grade magical weapons!
As for Spirit Stones–
Su Yu still had up to a million middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Tier 5 materials are too precious, it had been very difficult for him to collect them previously.
Otherwise, he would not have produced 10,000 Tier 3 high-quality elixirs to exchange for materials with the Wanbao Trading Company.
