The Fourth Financial Crisis

The market is a place exclusively for cultivators to trade.

Since the number of cultivators in Kyushu's cultivation world is very rare compared to ordinary people, the trading volume of this kind of market used for transactions between cultivators is not active, so one market is often set up in several adjacent areas.

Ranked in terms of economic prosperity, Haiya City is obviously the most prosperous in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou.

However, the cultivation resource trading center in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou is not located in Haiya City.

According to rumors from the Lu Lu Society, the Wuliang Sword Sect seems to have also considered that the power of the Haiya Clan is too strong, so they deliberately set up this cultivator city in the jurisdiction of Tianshu City, which has always had a bad relationship with Haiya City, in an attempt to divide and rule. This strategy restricts the Haiya system's dominant position in the southeastern coastal area of ​​​​Zhongzhou.

Cultivators are the beings who stand at the top of Kyushu's industrial chain.

It can even be said that the ultimate meaning of the existence of all industries in the Kyushu world is to provide better services to cultivators.

Therefore, as long as a large number of cultivators gather together, it will inevitably lead to the vigorous development of upstream and downstream related industrial chains.

Due to the existence of Tianshu City, disciples of the cultivating sects from fifteen major cities like to come here to do business. This makes Tianshu City, which is not geographically superior, the city with the highest density of cultivators in the neighboring areas. If Haiya City is the commercial center in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou, Tianshu City is the cultivation center in the southeastern coastal area of ​​​​Zhongzhou.

This Tianshu City, as well as the cultivators from all over the world attracted by Tianshu City, are none other than Chen Ming, the ruler of Tianshu City and the head of the Shanying Sect, and the ruler of Haiya City and the head of the Haiya Sect. Men Jiang Hua'an's confidence lies in fighting against each other.

Since the status of Tianshu City was only officially determined by the Wuliang Sword Sect in the past few hundred years, Chen Ming, the lord of Tianshu City who was responsible for promoting this matter, is also recognized as the greatest master of the Shanying Sect in the thousands of years since its establishment. Door.

Normally, this Tianshu City would not be particularly lively. Although there are more than 100,000 cultivators living in several surrounding areas, cultivators are different from ordinary people. They usually spend most of their time practicing in seclusion, are extremely inactive in social activities, and have very little time to go shopping.

However, whenever a nearby city holds an Immortal Ascension Conference, there will be huge purchasing demands from new cultivators.

Therefore, Tianshu City will also hold a special event called the "Immortal Fate Conference" to provide a trading platform for new monks from nearby areas, and take the opportunity to attract cultivators from all over Zhongzhou to come to Tianshu City for centralized trading, stimulating local economy.

According to convention, the Immortal Fate Conference in Tianshu City is usually held about 30 days after the Shengxian Conference in neighboring cities. It is held 2-3 times a year depending on the situation of the Shengxian Conference, and each time lasts about 3-5 days.

Probably considering that Yang Lu was already paid by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, although Xu Yannan told him about the situation of Tianshu City and the Xianyuan Association, he did not give him any training funds, which made Yang Lu worried. Complained that he was stingy.

Compared to Li Qingning who casually gave him a huge sum of 100,000 yuan in spiritual stone coins, he, the Enlightenment Immortal Master, was simply an iron rooster!

But Yang Lu also knew that this seemed to be the practice of the Golden Knife Sect.

The Golden Blade Sect is not so much a cultivation sect as it is a professional guild similar to the "Doctors Association" of US imperialism. The rights and obligations of sect members towards the sect are significantly smaller than those of other sects.

Don't say that soldiers like Yang Lu have no salary. Even his big boss Xu Yannan basically pays for his own expenses for food and clothing, and his main income comes from the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Yang Lu even accidentally learned from Han Fulai that Xu Yannan would occasionally make some extra money by doing commissioned projects for the Haiya Chamber of Commerce.

In any case, for ordinary monks in the Qi refining stage, one hundred thousand spirit stone coins can almost guarantee that they can successfully cultivate to the state of Qi refining. Even the Tinghe Yuge killer who deals in beheadings can only make every move. Obtain 40,000 spirit stone coins.

Before Yang Lu could say his thanks, Li Qingning was a little embarrassed and said: "I know that what you have done for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is worth far more than this spiritual stone coin, but the Chamber of Commerce still needs to keep some money to continue to develop! If these 100,000 spirit stone coins are not enough, just ask me and I can help you think of a way..."

As the actual manager of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, if Yang Lu really wanted to make money, there were countless ways to embezzle it from the accounts of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce without being discovered by anyone. But seeing that Li Qingning valued him so much, Yang Lu naturally All that’s left is gratitude.

Even if you hold a lantern, you can't find a good boss like Li Qingning who is both beautiful and heart-warming!

Seeing that Yang Lu casually got the huge sum of money that he had been corrupting for many years, He Mingyuan's bloodshot eyes turned even redder: "Miss, my little girl is also lucky enough to have tested the inferior spiritual root qualifications this time, and thank you. After joining the Haiya Sect, I am also preparing to go to Tianshu City to participate in the Immortal Fate Conference. You see..."

Li Qingning didn't hear the implication of He Mingyuan's words at all, and said casually: "Is that so? Congratulations!"

Seeing that Li Qingning didn't follow the routine at all, He Mingyuan rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said: "Of course Consultant Yang is the first to blame for the recent corruption case, but I also put in a lot of effort..."

Li Qingning looked at He Mingyuan, patted his shoulder and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work!"

"Miss, regarding my position in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce..."

"You're doing a pretty good job, just keep up the good work!"

"this……"

As the saying goes, He Mingyuan was stunned by Li Qingning and was speechless.

He wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Yang Lu. Seeing Yang Lu shaking his head at him with stern eyes, He Mingyuan finally gave up the idea of ​​betraying him.

Li Qingning is a very soft-spoken person.

Murong just put on a pitiful expression in front of her, which made the eldest lady burst with sympathy. She wanted to protect Murong as her own sister. If this character weakness was discovered by cunning guys like He Mingyuan, they would take advantage of it. If used, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The most typical one is Hu Yu, the commercial spy of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce. He is obviously a loser who can't get anything done, but he can still stay in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce just because he never refutes when he is scolded by Li Qingning.

Therefore, Yang Lu must strictly stop this unhealthy trend.

Only he, Yang Lu, can take advantage of this weakness. If anyone else wants to use this trick on Li Qingning, they must get past him first!

What's more, He Mingyuan is not short of money at all.

This so-called "selfless" guy brought down two chambers of commerce. In the end, he failed at the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce because of betrayal by his counterparty. If such a person did not have hundreds of thousands of spirit stone coins to store his private money, Yang Lu would not be able to do anything. Do not believe. He and Li Qingning were crying because they were jealous of Yang Lu's 100,000 spirit stone coins.

After Li Qingning left the reception room, Yang Lu looked at He Mingyuan with a playful look and said: "Manager He, I have also heard about your daughter. I remember that she has just turned 16 this year. She has low-quality water spirit root qualifications and is a good girl. I’m studying with the outer disciples of the Haiya Sect!”

He Mingyuan didn't know why Yang Lu suddenly said this, and stammered: "No...that's right."

The corner of Yang Lu's mouth curled up, and he chuckled: "Don't worry, Manager He. I've already said hello to Elder Han, and he will always take care of Miss He. If everything goes well and there are no surprises, In a few years, your daughter will be able to become an official resident immortal master, and her future will be bright!"

What does it mean if everything goes well?

Seeing Yang Lu's meaningful gaze, He Mingyuan was frightened and took half a step back, and said: "Consultant Yang, I really don't mean anything else. It's just that after I handed over the work of Luoxia City, the Chamber of Commerce never sent me any more information. Oversalary...I, I just want to ask the eldest lady what she thinks, you...you, this has nothing to do with my daughter!"

Yang Lu imitated Li Qingning's behavior just now, patted him on the shoulder gently and said: "Don't be nervous, I just want to give you a suggestion. If you have any concerns about business or life in the future, just talk to me directly. Don't bother me if it's okay." Miss practice, okay?"

"Okay, absolutely okay!"

"Work hard and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will not treat you badly!"

After warning He Mingyuan, Yang Lu waved his hand casually and left the reception room without looking back.

It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared that He Mingyuan let out a long sigh of relief. Unknowingly, the invisible pressure brought by Yang Lu made the back of his neck covered with cold sweat...
