Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in Jinshan Prefecture.
A spatial fissure opened at the top floor.
This commotion immediately caught the attention of Su Xing'er, followed by the others.
Jin Hua, Yin Hua, Chu Nan, Shen Wansan, and Ya Fei all turned their attention towards the spatial rift.
Shen Wansan had successfully broken through to the True Martial Realm during these past two days of seclusion.
Before the spatial rift.
A handsome youth stepped out from within. He wore a blue robe, appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, held a folding fan, and his hair was tied with a silk ribbon. He also wore a blue-white jade pendant at his waist, exuding the aura of a refined gentleman.
Upon arrival, the youth looked around curiously and quickly bowed to Su Xing'er.
"Miss Xing'er," he greeted her simply.
"Are you from the Ancestor?" Su Xing'er hadn't seen Yu Heng before, hence her uncertain question.
"Yes, the Ancestor sent me to find Young Master Heng. Where is he?" Yu Heng glanced around and failed to locate Su Heng.
"Come with me!" Su Xing'er was sure that the person was genuine and led him to Su Heng's room.
A grave expression passed over Su Xing'er's eyes.
Tearing through space required at least the Enlightenment Realm. This youth's appearance indicated he was also an Enlightenment Realm expert. However, Su Xing'er's cultivation was only in the Consummate Enlightenment Realm.
Logically, she should have broken through to a higher level in the Enlightenment Realm, so why did it seem like her cultivation had halted upon reaching the Enlightenment Realm? It was as if a mysterious force was suppressing her cultivation.
Could this be the end of her progress?
Su Xing'er suppressed her doubts and decided to reexamine later.
Jin Hua and Yin Hua merely stood at the doorway. Shen Wansan and Ya Fei had left, leaving Chu Nan alone, unsure whether to stay or go.
Stay, and he, as a guest, seemed out of place. Leave, and he felt unwilling to do so.
Thankfully, as he hesitated, Su Heng's voice echoed from within the room.
"This is what the Ancestor instructed to retrieve." Su Heng opened his sea of consciousness and released the Spirit Fire.
Given his prior circumstances, aside from suppressing it with his strong soul power, he couldn't think of any other method.
The Spirit Fire burst out like an unbridled steed, wanting to escape quickly. However, with Yu Heng present, that was wishful thinking.
Yu Heng reached out, and the Spirit Fire obediently lay in his palm, pulsating up and down. Then, Yu Heng exerted force with both hands, separating the Blood Demon Holy Order and the Earth Core Flame.
The token was mainly deep red with a skull pattern at its top. The whole token emitted an evil, bloody aura. Even Yu Heng found this aura repugnant, let alone others.
Yu Heng placed the Blood Demon Holy Order in his storage pouch. As for the Spirit Fire, he didn't know how to handle it. He handed it to Su Xing'er, thinking that it could bring significant profits if auctioned.
Su Heng watched as Yu Heng handed the Spirit Fire to Su Xing'er, then noticed Chu Nan's gaze fixated on the Spirit Fire. He didn't say much.
"Young master Heng, the Ancestor tasked me to give you this." Yu Heng handed a pill to Su Heng.
"A top-tier ninth-grade pill, Source Returning Pill." Before anyone could speak, Xu Qingzi's voice echoed in Chu Nan's mind.
Su Heng naturally recognized this pill.
However, having seen many good things in his previous life, he wasn't particularly excited about this item. At best, it could replenish the essence he had lost. Increasing his essence was challenging.
Still, he accepted it willingly. After all, this item was most helpful for his current condition.
"Furthermore, the Ancestor instructed that after Young Master Heng's recovery, he should head to the Northwest Region or another region for training. If faced with difficulties, you can go to Qingyi Pavilion, reveal your identity, and Qingyi Pavilion will naturally intervene. I've heard that Young Master Su Mo is also in the Northern Territory." Yu Heng shared some orders Su Xun had given him.
"Qingyi Pavilion?" Before anyone else could speak, Chu Nan exclaimed.
As a person from the Southern Region, he naturally knew about Qingyi Pavilion, a name that was widely known and as famous as thunder. Qingyi Pavilion was the largest assassin organization on the Divine Martial Continent. Unexpectedly, the Su family had a connection with them as well.
As for the others, they didn't have much of an impression of Qingyi Pavilion. After all, Qingyi Pavilion's missions started at the Boundary level, and they were just a power within the Divine Martial Continent. Xuan Qingzi and Su Heng were both from the Divine Land, so they naturally hadn't heard of it.
However, judging by Chu Nan's reaction, he seemed to know quite a bit. At least, Qingyi Pavilion's influence wasn't weak.
Su Heng had intended to leave, but under the pretext of needing to recover, he persuaded Chu Nan to stay and act as his protector.
He felt this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed. Based on that day's situation, Blood Refining Hall likely had someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Now that he had the Blood Demon Holy Order, Su Heng believed these people wouldn't just give up. He kept Chu Nan around for insurance.
In his room, Su Heng began to recover from his injuries.
In the office, Su Xing'er discussed with Ya Fei and Shen Wansan.
Currently, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in Azure Cloud Kingdom was a colossal force, but it hadn't yet reached the level the family had hoped for.
At least, not at present.
The current chamber of commerce only operated in the three Kingdoms. It was a long and arduous journey ahead!
Su Xing'er spared no expense, investing all the earnings from these days into buying land and shops in the surrounding countries.
However, an obvious issue emerged: manpower.
At least one city needed an Earth Martial Realm expert to preside over it, a prefecture required a Heavenly Martial Realm expert, and even the capital city of a country needed at least a late stage Heavenly Martial Realm expert.
The Su family's method of nurturing talents was only suitable for up to the Earth Martial Realm. Expending resources beyond this level was not cost-effective.
Su Xing'er reported this problem to the family. Su Zeduan instructed the alchemists in the family to work at full capacity in refining pills and bought numerous people from the slave market.
Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in Jinshan Prefecture.
Su Heng's origin had been restored almost completely. Moreover, his cultivation had advanced to the Consummate Earth Martial Realm due to the Source Returning Pill's effects.
A product of the system was truly a masterpiece, far surpassing so-called Master Alchemists. Even its efficacy was significantly stronger.
The members of Blood Refining Hall arrived at the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce as planned.
Led by their Blood Refining Hall Ancestor, they didn't care how influential the force behind the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce was. With a late-stage Profound Origin Realm expert present, what could they do? Everyone was Profound Origin Realm experts. Even if they couldn't win, they could still hold them off!
As long as they obtained the item, they would leave high and mighty, and what could anyone do about it?
"I will stall their expert. The rest of you should go all out to find the item," the Blood Refining Hall Ancestor looked at the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce before turning to the Blood Refining Hall Master beside him.
Without waiting for a response, the Blood Refining Hall Ancestor immediately took action.
Blood Refining Hall Master: What if the item is with that Profound Origin Realm expert?
