Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Chapter 461: Chapter 457 Hai Feng City

Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce.

Just now, a management meeting had concluded, passing a round of new personnel appointments.

Zhao Yushu was appointed as the Vice President of the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce.

Thus, a young girl, who had just cultivated her True Qi and was under eighteen, suddenly became one of the top figures in the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce.

Not to mention other branch presidents and the management layer, even Zhao Yushu herself found it hard to believe.

However, soon, she thought of something.

She had guessed why she had been appointed as the Vice President of the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce.

It certainly wasn’t because of the recent restructuring of the Chamber of Commerce.

After the meeting, she immediately returned to her room, took out Star Shadow, and started communicating through the Blue Light Association.

"Fang Jingyue, didn’t you say that as a Primordial Spirit Monarch, you have a prestigious identity with extensive connections? And Yu Xiaoxiao, you always brag in the Blue Light Association about how your husband is enamored by the new toys you occasionally bring out and obeys your every command. How come you can’t even afford a Quasi-Dao Artifact Level protective Treasure? And Xia Chu..."

Zhao Yushu continually ’mentioned’ several of those who bragged the most in this "chat room."

"A Quasi-Dao Artifact depends on the user, right? Why would I buy a Quasi-Dao Artifact that doesn’t suit my Cultivation Technique and attributes? Why would my friends buy it? Especially defensive Quasi-Dao Artifacts."

Fang Jingyue couldn’t help but speak up.

As for Yu Xiaoxiao, she simply played dead.

It was Xia Chu who was somewhat picky and said, "Quasi-Dao Artifact level Treasures are never short of buyers anywhere, let alone defensive Quasi-Dao Artifacts. You bring it to our Blue Light Association to sell, claiming it’s a good item to be internally digested, but who knows whether there’s anything troublesome about this Quasi-Dao Artifact?"

"Right, as a small chamber of commerce’s Vice President, how do you qualify to handle a defensive Quasi-Dao Artifact? It obviously has problems."

Fang Jingyue followed up.

Zhao Yushu hadn’t had a chance to retort when Jin Sixian couldn’t help but say, "Our founding principle of the Blue Light Association is to help each other. I know about Zhao Yushu’s Quasi-Dao Artifact. Although it needs some modifications before use, it won’t cause any significant problems. Your claims are rather suspicious."

"Exactly, the value of defensive Quasi-Dao Artifacts is almost comparable to real Dao Artifacts and they are considered strategic resources. Do you really think I can’t sell it? Just a trip to the Imperial Capital, or even the Inner Ring Twelve Cities, and there would be plenty of people vying to buy this Quasi-Dao Artifact! My selling it in the Blue Light Association is based on the principle of good items being internally digested. If you can’t afford it, don’t talk nonsense here."

Zhao Yushu followed up.

Her tone carried a hint of indignation.

Dao Artifacts are often serendipitous and rare.

Even Saints may not possess a Dao Artifact.

If it weren’t for the Holy Dynasty absorbing the heritage from all the Sects around the world, the numbers of Dao Artifacts and Divine Weapons wouldn’t be so abundant.

Yet even so, some Saints have sold their Dao Artifacts to help members of their Sect settle in the Holy Dynasty.

Without a Dao Artifact, these Saints naturally had to seek Quasi-Dao Artifacts.

Thus, Quasi-Dao Artifacts are never short of sellers.

Not to mention the rare defensive Quasi-Dao Artifacts.

At that moment, an unfamiliar avatar suddenly said: "I don’t have the ability to traverse the distance between two cities. If you are willing to deliver this Quasi-Dao Artifact, I would like to buy it."

Zhao Yushu looked at him.

Qi Yunxiao.

To ensure fairness in the Blue Light Association and to prevent mutual suspicion among members affecting unity, private messaging features weren’t available.

Moreover, every member’s avatar was input by Star Shadow, eliminating any chances of falsification.

This Qi Yunxiao...

She seldom saw him talk, and didn’t know what his character was really like.

But then again, even if she had interacted with him through chat in the Blue Light Association, how could she ensure that everyone was trustworthy?

"You want to buy?"

Zhao Yushu couldn’t help but ask, "The market price for defensive Quasi-Dao Artifacts is between thirty to fifty billion. This defensive Quasi-Dao Artifact is powerful, although it needs a bit of modification before use, and even our internal selling price in the Blue Light Association reaches forty billion. Are you buying?"

"Yes, if you are willing to deliver, I’ll buy,"

Qi Yunxiao said, adding, "Also, I request that the transaction takes place in Hai Feng City. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but making the transaction there will ensure peace of mind for both of us."

Hai Feng City is one of the Inner Ring Twelve Cities.

Compared to the Outer Ring Thirty-Six Cities, cities in the Inner Ring provide better security.

"I understand, I will give you a definitive reply at this time tomorrow."

"Thank you,"

Qi Yunxiao said.

Seeing that Qi Yunxiao seemed genuinely interested in purchasing the Quasi-Dao Artifact, the people of the Blue Light Association exploded with reactions.

"Holy shit, a big shot, huh? Can pick up forty billion just like that? Please take my knees!"

"Forty billion! If I had forty billion, I’d convert twenty billion into Cultivation Resources, quickly become a Primordial Spirit Monarch, spend another ten billion to buy a Quasi-Dao Artifact Level flying sword, and even Martial Kings would have to make a detour when they see me."

"Big shot, are you in Hai Feng City? Are you hiring? I can be salty or sweet, obedient and sensible."

Suddenly, many members of the Blue Light Association who often idly chatted through Star Shadow started to appear.

Because of "survivorship bias," despite all being elite humans with exceptional spiritual talent, and with the knowledge mastered on Blue Star, they were doing fairly well. But faced with this whopping forty billion, many quickly abandoned their principles, eager to attach themselves to a powerful benefactor.

"Everyone is too kind, these four billion are already all of my assets,"

Qi Yunxiao said, then quickly added, "I need to continue my brick-moving cultivation, Senior Zhao, I’ll wait for your response tomorrow."

After speaking, he said no more.

This scene made everyone quite emotional.

"It seems we have quite a few hidden big shots around here."

"Isn’t that so? There are one hundred and twenty-one people in this chat room, and even though many don’t speak for long times, who can be sure they aren’t looking down on our little Blue Light Association, unwilling to be lumped together with us?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t incite conflicts, and don’t resort to moral coercion, remember, the original intention of the Blue Light Association is to help each other as people from Blue Star."

Dozens of people, representing dozens of different thoughts, quickly turned the chat room into a mess.

Without elders like Xing Bieli and Chao Jiuyin, who had reputations to guide the conversation, these people from Blue Star were not as reserved in their speech as the locals.

Zhao Yushu watched for a while, and seeing no significant messages, quickly put away Star Shadow and asked Zhao Yang to help her set up an appointment with Gu Jinlai.

Currently, Gu Jinlai was mostly absent from the Zone Master Mansion, making it not an easy task to meet him.

However, not long after Zhao Yang departed, Gu Jinlai arrived outside the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce.

He didn’t enter the commerce hall. Sensing Zhao Yushu’s aura, he immediately transmitted a message: "Tell Qi Yunxiao that I agree, but I need six days to handle my matters and one day to travel. I will arrive in Hai Feng City in a week."

Zhao Yushu was taken aback, quickly realizing that Gu Jinlai must have also been lurking in the Star Shadow during his free time.

Therefore, he came over after seeing her interaction with Qi Yunxiao.

"I understand,"

Zhao Yushu said, and then "@" mentioned Qi Yunxiao in Star Shadow to respond.

Qi Yunxiao was quick to reply, "Then Senior Zhao, or your person can contact me after reaching Hai Feng City."

"Alright."

Zhao Yushu responded.

...

Outside the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce, Gu Jinlai, after watching the interaction between Zhao Yushu and Qi Yunxiao, transmitted a message again: "I find it inconvenient to visit the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce right now, I have offended many people recently, and getting too close to you might bring you trouble, just give it some time."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "At best three months, at worst half a year."

Zhao Yushu knew that Gu Jinlai had been continuously purging the scourge of Wind and Rain City ever since he took office as the Zone Leader.

Such a move would inevitably touch many people’s interests, definitely not as simple as one might imagine.

She quickly responded, "Thank you, Senior Gu, for your concern, I will take care of myself."

After speaking, she added, "I happened to have some doubts about my cultivation; I will go and seek advice from the president of Yu Hua Building, hoping he can provide me with some guidance on cultivation."

Yu Hua Building...

A top Deva.

Zhao Yushu staying by his side was a sure way to ensure her safety.

Immediately, he nodded, "Okay, I will mention this to Yu Hua Building."

...

The next day, Gu Jinlai met Yu Hua Building at the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce.

Accompanying him were other bigwigs of the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce, each of them either a top or peak Martial King or a master of the Devas Realm.

The reason he came to the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce...

Was the Deva from Purple Thunder Commerce and several boxes placed in the trading hall of the commerce chamber.

"Mr. Gu, I have successfully completed the task, four hundred units of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold are all here,"

The Deva from Purple Thunder Commerce said with a bow.

Yu Hua Building also followed with a smile, "We’ve managed to gather a total of one hundred and ninety units of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, Mr. Gu, please inspect."

Gu Jinlai stepped forward to inspect each one.

Soon, he nodded satisfactorily, "Five hundred and ninety units of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, the count is complete."

"It’s good as long as Mr. Gu is satisfied,"

The Deva from Purple Thunder Commerce said with a smile.

At this point, Gu Jinlai directly took out a box, inside which were obviously many Spiritual Artifacts, Quasi-Dao Artifacts, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"Gentlemen, give an estimate and take what you see fit,"

Gu Jinlai gestured invitingly.

Yu Hua Building, seeing the items Gu Jinlai had taken out, felt somewhat overwhelmed.

These were the confiscations from several dozen households in the past half month.

By rights, seventy to eighty percent of these items should be submitted to the City Lord Mansion, and Gu Jinlai could only keep two to three percent for himself, but now...

The Deva from Purple Thunder Commerce, however, did not pay attention to so many details, quickly selecting materials worth twenty-four billion.

Seeing this, Yu Hua Building braced himself and also chose some Spiritual Artifacts and Treasures.

He only hoped that part of the confiscated goods that belonged to Gu Jinlai could fill this gap.
