"Just for contacting other city lords?"
The City Lord of Lingxue City smiled and said, "That would indeed be highly desirable, as long as Martial Emperor can produce Divine Elixer, I believe those city lords would be more than happy to sell. After all, the Northern Mysterious Domain is not short of mines, but lacks Divine Drugs. Given the biting cold here, it is hard to come by even a single Divine Elixer."
"I suspect what Martial Emperor truly needs is Space Origin, which I don't have here. However, the large merchant houses might have it. For instance, I know the Qiankun Merchant House plans on hosting an auction in a few days, which will feature several spatial divine objects."
The City Lord of Lingxue provided the information.
"The Qiankun Merchant House, I'm familiar with it."
Although Chu Yuan could have Ning Wan help him collect these, the back-and-forth would take time.
Not to mention the Spacetime Kunpeng, even he himself needed a large amount of Void Crystal Stone to create the Void Feathers.
"I can lead the way and bring Martial Emperor to the Northern Mysterious Domain headquarters of the Qiankun Merchant House," the City Lord of Lingxue City offered.
But before Chu Yuan could head to the Northern Mysterious Domain branch, outside Lingxue City appeared a large number people hurrying towards them.
"Martial Emperor arrives in the Northern Mysterious Domain, and didn't give us at Qiankun Merchant House a heads up. It has caught us off guard," said a member of the Qiankun Merchant House.
Chu Yuan was still in Lingxue City when people from the Qiankun Merchant House arrived. The one leading them was an elder with white hair whose cultivation level had reached a terrifying six-tier Void God.
Upon seeing Chu Yuan, his old face broke into a big smile.
Those who accompanied him were five or six Void Gods, all bigwigs from the Northern Mysterious Domain branch.
Chu Yuan's visit was not a secret.
The Qiankun Merchant House in Lingxue City was notified as soon as Chu Yuan set foot in the Northern Mysterious Domain, and immediately alerted the headquarters.
"Such a grand welcome!"
City Lord Lingxue widened her eyes.
This seems a bit excessive.
The entire crew from the headquarters arrived in her city, almost as if they were meeting with a saint, to greet Chu Yuan.
For the Qiankun Merchant House, other Void Gods were merely VIP guests, but Chu Yuan was their god of wealth. They wished they could worship him every day. Without him, there wouldn't have been so many King-grade God Pills in Five Mysterious Domains recently.
"Find it somewhat unbelievable? To the Qiankun Merchant House, Martial Emperor is their money-man. Other powers might not matter, but they can't ignore Martial Emperor. You haven't been in the Eastern Mysterious Domain, so you don't know the situation," Luo Yueying said from the side.
City Lord Lingxue nodded and said, "Today all distinguished guests have gathered in my humble Lingxue City, I invite all of you to my hall for a rest. I have prepared some Ice Lotus Tea, a specialty of Northern Mysterious Domain."
A win-win situation.
Bai Yehua understood that Dawu is after all an empire, and even if it opens a trading guild, it is for the interest of its nation. It does not intend to primarily run a major trading guild spanning the Eternal World.
"Our Sect also has some business to discuss with the Qiankun Trading Guild." Luo Yueying said.
"Oh? This must be Sect Master Luo from the Concealing Moon Sect. Such a young Void God, not even a hundred years old, it really makes me envious. You have potential to become a True God, becoming a person of great prestige."
Bai Yehua squinted his eyes and said, "Sect Master Luo came here with the Martial Emperor this time, so there's no problem. Anything you want, you can count on me."
His words had hidden meanings, his face revealed a disrespectful smile}
"It will take some time to gather the items. Martial Emperor, if there are other things you want, feel free to discuss with me, including future cooperation."
Bai Yehua was enthusiastic.
Chu Yuan and Luo Yueying's faces remained calm. They knew this man would not make early efforts without profit.
After waiting a few hours in Lingxue City, Bai Yehua had prepared all the items and personally handed them to Chu Yuan.
His face was beaming with joy and he said, "The preparations were rushed this time, there would be more if we had more time. If the Martial Emperor could wait a few more days before leaving, I will gather more for you."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Chu Yuan nodded.
Dawu's development was already on the right track, a few days of waiting wouldn't hurt.
"Is this Sect Master Luo?"
At this time, a few people with imposing manner arrived in Lingxue City. They were divine-level powerhouses, their attitude was arrogant. Even after seeing the City Lord of Lingxue, this Void God powerhouse, there wasn't a trace of fear on their faces.
"People from the Beiyegong."
The City Lord of Lingxue frowned.
In the Northern Mysterious Domain, Beiyegong is one of the most powerful, comparable to the Eastern Mysterious Imperial Dynasty or even greater.
She wasn't happy, they had just arrived at Lingxue City and barged in without any notice.
"What's the matter?" Luo Yueying asked softly.
"Sect Master Luo, please hold on. We came here because our Young Master from Beiyegong learned about your arrival in the North Mysterious Domain, and wishes to extend his hospitality by inviting you to a banquet held by Beiyegong. He hopes Sect Master Luo will experience the unique scenes of the North Mysterious Domain, the Polar Night."
These god-level figures seemed to be inviting, but there was a dominating air in their tone, and a sense of coercion and forcefulness.
