Looking at the properties of the spirit bead in front of him, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect to receive such a surprise. This seventh-level spiritual material is a metallic spiritual object. It can be used to refine a metal clone in the future. Prepare for the divine realm.

Judging from Li Mu's expression, it seemed that he recognized this seventh-level spiritual object, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Well, you should recognize this thing! With this thing in mind, will it be enough for me to exchange for the sixth-level spiritual treasure?" Venerable Lieyan looked at Li Mu and asked with a smile.

"Senior, this item is indeed rare, and its value is still far behind the 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones. However, I still make the decision and agree to this transaction." Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Haha! My little friend, you are such a sensible person!" Venerable Lieyan's expression tightened. After hearing Li Mu's answer clearly, he was immediately elated and laughed heartily in praise.

Li Mu looked at the puppet and ordered it to get the sixth-level Scarlet Sky Flame Sword.

After receiving the order, the puppet immediately took action and went straight to the container where the treasure was stored.

The shelves and secret warehouses in the store have been carefully arranged by Li Mu. Apart from him and Xue'er, other people have no right to receive some of the 'store treasures'.

"Senior, please wait a moment. The Chixiao Flame Sword will be here soon." Li Mu said with a smile, indicating to Lord Lieyan to wait patiently.

Venerable Lieyan nodded, looked at Li Mu and asked inquiringly: "Little friend, I don't know which Li family opened this Li Family Treasure House, but I still don't forget to give you some advice."

"Senior, the Li family in this building is just an unknown person." Li Mu made up an excuse casually and said perfunctorily: "Our family is not prominent. Our ancestor was once a master of weapon refining who was proficient in magic circles. He left There are many precious items and refining techniques, and running this building also has the effect of other partners working together, and Li is just being pushed to the forefront!"

After hearing this, Venerable Lieyan nodded clearly and agreed with Li Mu's statement. He secretly thought to himself that the water in Li's Treasure House is indeed quite deep!

The spiritual weapons, magic talismans, elixirs, and puppets sold by Li's Treasure House are all exquisite. The array layout in the store is very exquisite and contains powerful and mysterious array forces. Even he would not dare to rush into the array with such skill. , no large sect can cover everything, and certainly not one family can do it.

While he was talking, the puppet walked in with a tray in his hands. Placed on the tray is a sixth-level sword that is full of spirituality and extraordinary power - the Red Sky Flame Sword.

Li Mu took the tray with a smile and handed it to Venerable Lieyan with both hands.

Lord Lieyan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to pick up the Red Sky Flame Sword. The blade immediately bloomed with the blazing flame breath, and a Red Sky Fire Snake was derived from it. In an instant, the temperature of the entire space increased dramatically.

"Senior!" Li Mu quickly stopped him, mobilizing the Baolou Five Elements Array to quickly absorb all the power of the fire to avoid damaging the building.

"I'm sorry, I was overjoyed!" A look of surprise flashed in Venerable Lieyan's eyes, and he quickly controlled his strength and apologized to Li Mu. At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that the power of the magic circle in the Li Family Treasure Building was so amazing, far beyond his expectation.

As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there is any. Just now, Venerable Lieyan used the sixth-order Chixiao Flame Sword to spy on the magic circle in the Li Family Treasure Building. However, he never expected that the magic circle in the treasure building would The power turned out to be even more amazing than he expected.

The magic circle in the Li Family Treasure Building has not yet been fully activated, but it easily offsets the power of the Red Sky Flame Sword. If he had not controlled his strength in time and allowed the magic circle to continue to exert its power, he might have instantly triggered the magic circle in the treasure building to launch an attack, with disastrous consequences.

"I see, if senior wants to test the sword, I will have someone prepare to perform the martial arts!" Li Mu smiled meaningfully, looked at Lord Lieyan and signaled.

"No, no need! I am very satisfied with this sword. Please hold this golden bead, little friend!" Venerable Lieyan waved his hands repeatedly, remembering something, and handed the Longyuan Golden Bead to Li Muchao.

"Thank you, senior!" Li Mu smiled and accepted the golden beads.

After the money and goods were paid, the transaction was officially concluded. After a few polite words, Lord Lieyan said goodbye with satisfaction.

Li Mu put away the Longyuan Golden Pearl with satisfaction and waited for the next wave of customers.

On the opening day of Li's Zhenbao Building, it was very lively and crowded. The store displays a variety of high-end spiritual weapons, elixirs, talismans, puppets and other products, each of which is of outstanding quality and exquisite. These rare spiritual objects attracted the attention of many Nascent Soul Lords and Divine Transformation Lords. They came to watch and purchase them one after another, and the scene was extremely lively.

Li's Treasure House also launched a high-end discount event for purchasing rare spiritual materials and exchanging them for treasures. This move attracted the attention of a large number of monks, who came to participate in the event one after another, and the store was crowded with people.

For a time, Li's Zhenbao Building was overcrowded, and more and more Nascent Soul cultivators and Transformation Masters gathered in the shop. They exchange ideas and trade goods here, and the number and scale of transactions concluded continues to increase. The reputation of Li's Treasure House spread quickly in a short period of time, and it became the most popular spiritual shop on Wanxing Island.

Seeing the popular scene of Li's Treasure House, Wanbao Pavilion, Tianji Building, Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, Huitian Building and other business organizations, as well as the island family, couldn't sit still. They began to inquire around for information, wanting to know more about Li's Treasure House. background and strength.

Li's Treasure House keeps its secrets very well, and no one can know the real situation behind this store.

However, being able to produce so many high-quality and diverse spiritual objects at once is obviously not something that a small force can do.

This makes major business organizations and island families feel very confused and uneasy. They began to worry that Li's Zhenbao Building would have an impact on their business, and might even change the business structure of the entire Wanxing Island.

The sea area of ​​Ten Thousand Stars Island is located in the core area of ​​the important waterways of the two spiritual realms, Zhongzhou and Southern Wilderness, and major forces are spread here. No one knows what kind of support is behind the Li family, and to what extent such support will go? All this makes them breathless and on pins and needles.

Several leading merchants and shopkeepers on Wanxing Island were forced to sit together and discuss countermeasures.

The atmosphere in the lobby was a bit solemn. The power behind Li's Treasure House was too mysterious and powerful. They didn't dare to reach out easily until they had investigated clearly.

"Master Chen, many of the elixirs sold by Li's Zhenbao Building are the same as those sold by Gui Lou! If Gui Lou doesn't supply them, can we trace it from this direction?" The general manager of the Wanbao Pavilion branch here - Qian Wenjin looked at Shopkeeper Chen who was returning to Tianlou and asked suggestively.

Owner Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can give it a try. Li's Zhenbao House's business is booming, and they are selling a lot of elixirs this time. Without stable channels, they would never be able to do this."

"However, don't have too high expectations. The high-end elixirs sold by Li's Zhenbao Building are relatively common, and the elixir prescriptions are widely circulated. We are not the only ones who have them in Huitian Building!" After saying this, Host Chen looked around at everyone and added One sentence.

"Master Chen, please do your best. To find out the power behind this spiritual store, we have to rely on the Wanxing Sect. If any of you have friends with Master Wanling, can you entrust him to investigate on your behalf?" Wanbao Pavilion The shopkeeper Wang Jin nodded, looked at the others and asked.

"Don't count on Wanxing Sect. They hope that Li's business will be better and they can earn more taxes. Wanxing Sect has never allowed its disciples to participate in our business competition."

"If you ask Wanxing Sect, you will definitely not get accurate information. It is better to spend a sum of spiritual stones and inquire about the Liu family. You must know that the Li family's treasure house can be opened so quickly. The Liu family's shopkeeper Liu , the contribution is indispensable." Qiu, the shopkeeper of Lingfu Shop, interjected with a gloomy look on his face.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing what was said. What Shopkeeper Qiu said was true. Shopkeeper Liu of the Liu family did play a key role in the opening of Li's Zhenbao Building. If he hadn't come forward to coordinate all aspects of affairs, Li's Zhenbao Building would not have been able to open smoothly in such a short period of time.

At the same time, the Liu family contributed a lot to the rise of Li's Zhenbao Building. When Li's Zhenbao Building first opened, the Liu family not only sublet the store, but also provided a lot of spiritual support.

They finally managed to bankrupt family shops like the Liu Family. Now, a more terrifying spiritual object store has emerged. It no longer sells spiritual materials, but various high-quality spiritual objects, which directly puts their finished products into a sales trap. The point of not moving.

This result is worse than killing them.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, this is a good idea. I have some friendship with Liu Zhengfeng. Leave this matter to me!" Tian Yuqing, the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, took the initiative to take over this task.

"Thank you, Manager Tian." Everyone thanked him in unison.

"At that time, in the name of the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, I will propose cooperation intentions to the Liu family and secretly investigate the forces behind the Li Family Treasure House." Tian Yuqing said seriously.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.

…

Therefore, Tian Yuqing went to the Liu family in person in the name of reaching a spiritual material supply cooperation with the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce and had in-depth talks with Liu Zhengfeng, the head of the Liu family.

Liu Zhengfeng, the patriarch of the Liu family, paid great attention to Tian Yuqing's visit from the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce. He personally received him and discussed with him for more than an hour.

However, because of the relationship with Li's Zhenbao Building, Liu Zhengfeng did not respond immediately to the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce - meeting in Tian Yuqing.

After the meeting, Liu Zhengfeng immediately held a family meeting and invited a group of family elders to discuss the matter.

"Shopkeeper Tian's proposal can be considered. However, we have just reached a cooperation with Li's Zhenbao House. If we cannot provide a stable supply of spiritual materials and affect their business, we are afraid that the other party will hold us responsible." Liu Zhengyuan, the second elder of the Liu family, reminded with a frown. road.

"Indeed, it is unreasonable for Yalan to violate the spiritual material supply agreement while still working under someone else's hand!" Third Elder Liu Zhengqing agreed.

"That is the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce. If we can reach a long-term cooperation with the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, it will undoubtedly be a historical opportunity for our Liu family!" Liu Zhengming, the eldest elder of the Liu family, quickly reminded.

"Yes! We have always wanted to cooperate with the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, but we have never had the opportunity before. If we can seal the cooperation agreement this time, the losses suffered by the family before can be quickly replenished, and the reorganization of the glory will be gone. Patriarch , no need to hesitate about this matter!" Liu Zhengfu, the fourth elder, echoed and urged in a hurry.

"Ha! The Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce didn't come to us for cooperation before, but now they come to us. What do you think their real intention is?" Liu Zhengqing sneered and asked the elders present.

Hearing this, everyone was at a loss for words. Just as Liu Zhengqing said, the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce must have come to the Li Family Treasure House to seek cooperation with the Liu family at this time.

Liu Zhengfeng pondered for a moment, then glanced at the elders, and finally landed on the seventh elder Liu Zhengyang, who had been silent until now. He asked probingly: "Zhengyang, you are the elder of the family, what do you think about this matter?"

Liu Zhengyang was silent for a moment, looked around at everyone, and analyzed: "Clan Leader, I think that the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce contacted us for Li's Treasures. However, what they asked for has nothing to do with our cooperation with Li's Treasures House. No matter what the conflict is, as long as we find ways to supply spiritual materials to both families, even if we earn less spiritual stones, we can still make money by transferring goods to other families."

"As for the requirements attached to the cooperation with the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, they asked us to help collect and pay attention to the forces behind it. This matter is also easy to handle. We can open a back door for them and let them check it out on their own without violating our agreement with Li. Cooperation Agreement.”

"Cooperating with the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce is an excellent opportunity for our Liu family. If we miss it, we may not have such an opportunity again in the future."

"If you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

After listening to Liu Zhengyang's analysis, all the elders present expressed their approval.

"Clan leader, Zhengyang is right, I agree with this!"

"I agree too!"

All the elders nodded in agreement.

Liu Zhengfeng looked at everyone with a relieved smile on his face.

"Very good! Since everyone agrees to cooperate with the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, we will sign a cooperation agreement with them as soon as possible. As for other things, let's just turn a blind eye."

Hearing this, all the elders of the Liu family showed ambiguous smiles and agreed with the words of the head of the Liu family.

The Liu family quickly signed a cooperation agreement with the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce. During this period, the business of Li's Zhenbao Building continued to be booming, making its merchants envious and jealous.

After Tian Yuqing of the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce received a reply from the Liu family confirming cooperation, he began his investigation. On the pretext of discussing cooperation, he sent people to the Li Family Treasure House many times to make deliveries and conduct secret investigations.

Time passed bit by bit, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Tian Yuqing obtained a large amount of information related to Li's Zhenbao Building through various channels. This information includes Li’s Zhenbao Building’s operating model, sales strategy, store layout, decoration style, employee situation, etc.

However, they did not find any valuable clues. The forces behind Li's Treasure House seemed to not exist, and there was no trace to follow.

The Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce investigation has reached an impasse. (End of chapter)
