After achieving her goal, Su Xing'er conveyed the information to her father, explaining the pros and cons. She had been contemplating how to expand the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and now she had a golden opportunity. As for Jiang Ce's thoughts, she didn't concern herself much. After all, as she had told him, merchant prioritize profit above all else.
She was also a merchant, and pursuing profits was naturally nothing to be blamed for.
As for Jiang Ce leaving after a while from the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, the old man silently followed him. Su Xing'er secretly cast a charm on Jiang Ce, and even the old man didn't notice. After all, her cultivation now had reached the "Half-Step Enlightenment Realm." Just a Half-Step Heavenly Origin Realm, how could he possibly detect it?
Su Family.
Upon receiving the letter from their own daughter, Su Zeduan naturally supported it. Moreover, what his daughter said was indeed true; it held no harm for the Su Family. However, the mobilization of experts like this wasn't a trivial matter; they had to seek the old ancestor's approval.
Even though he had control over the Su Family's array formations, he still needed to inform the old ancestor about the movement of those few array spirits and gauge the old ancestor's opinion.
When Su Xun heard about it, he thought for a moment and agreed. He sent Yu Heng and Yao Guang out.
Yu Heng was the one from last time, and as for Yao Guang, she was the only female among the seven array spirits. In the Su Family, their positions were bestowed with the title of elders.
However, he didn't have them use the Su Family's identity; instead, he used the name of the Qianqiu Sect. He also emphasized that winning was the goal; there was no need to reveal their full strength.
After Su Xun finished speaking, he handed a storage ring to Su Zeduan. Opening it, Su Zeduan saw an abundance of heavenly treasures and spirit stones, like mountains and seas.
Did the old ancestor plunder some top force? Otherwise, how could there be so many resources?
He thought about it but didn't dare say it out loud.
"Do your best to develop! Don't neglect the Qianqiu Sect either. After all, when the blade is sharpened, certain things become easier to handle," Su Xun instructed. As for these resources, they were merely sent by someone from the Huo Xiu faction.
As for him, he didn't come personally, after all, he wasn't a nobody. He was afraid his departure might cause some trouble or that someone with ulterior motives might discover some clues.
But he also sent his two most trusted subordinates. After all, this batch of resources was not a small sum, enough to establish a top force.
Both of them had reached the Late Enlightenment Realm, cultivated in secret by Huo Xiu. Very few people knew about it.
Huo Xiu ordered them to stay at the Su Family and assist Su Xun after delivering the resources. This was something they could have done, but Su Xun thought it would be better to keep them around for certain discreet matters.
After Su Zeduan left, Su Xun began cultivating as well. However, having experienced rapid advancement, regular cultivation now felt slower than a snail's pace. However, the resources from this time were considerable, and he left quite a bit for himself, which he believed would provide great help.
After distributing the resources, the happiest ones were the Ten Elders. These things were precious beyond measure. If they were to be returned, wouldn't the resources become even more abundant? The Ten Elders took over the task of distributing resources from Su Zeduan immediately.
With this arrangement, all the resources passed through their hands, ensuring the resources they could receive in return were practically endless.
News also came that the Qianqiu Sect would receive resources as well, causing the several Elders to start competing. In the end, the Fifth Elder emerged victorious.
Su Zeduan gave Su Zeji a storage ring, instructing him to deliver it to the Qianqiu Ancestor. He also sent his newly summoned person.
[Name: Ren Woxing.
Cultivation: Early Profound Origin Realm.
Technique: Star Devouring Art.
Introduction: Ren Woxing is the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult. His practice of the Star Devouring Art led to demonic possession, resulting in his position being taken by Dongfang Invincible. He was imprisoned in Meizhuang and guarded by the Four Friends of Meizhuang. His Star Devouring Art is overwhelmingly powerful, capable of absorbing others' cultivation. It is closely related to the North Ming Divine Art, making the martial world tremble with fear.]
Sending Ren Woxing over, Su Zeduan's intention was clear: to aid the Qianqiu Sect's maximal development. After all, the Qianqiu Sect needed to be established in the eyes of the people. The upcoming enrollment also required people to manage it, and this time, he also sent a large number of Su Family servants. After all, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce needed manpower too.
These people had reached the Earth Martial Realm, nurtured by the Su Family's resources. With this batch of resources, they could attempt to elevate their strength a bit more. Earth Martial Realm was fine for some small towns, but for counties and capitals, it wouldn't hold up well.
After Ren Woxing arrived at the Qianqiu Sect, the Qianqiu Ancestor was quite pleased, especially with the abundant resources. The Qianqiu Ancestor even announced that Ren Woxing's status was not lower than his own, enjoying the same standing within the Qianqiu Sect.
But this was only a surface display. After all, Ren Woxing represented the Su Family, and the Qianqiu Sect revered the Su Family as their superior family. Ren Woxing's status was significant, and he had Su Zeji accompanying him.
With the significant resources Su Zeji brought, the Qianqiu Sect's strength was elevated by several levels. Even the Elders who had held reservations toward the Su Family's decisions were now in agreement due to this event.
Su Zeji left contentedly after receiving a large amount of resources.
As for Yu Heng and Yao Guang, they delivered the group of people to Su Xing'er and then set off to the northwest region to find Jiang Ce.
The charms Su Xing'er left behind at the time were also put to good use.
Azure Cloud Kingdom Palace.
The ruler of Azure Cloud was furious. The matters involving the Lu Family and the Gu Family had already given him a headache, but he hadn't expected his sons to create even more internal strife.
The various vassal kings were also showing signs of unrest. If not for the foundation of the royal family still intact, the entire Kingdom of Azure Cloud might have been engulfed in war by now.
The several Princes were each asserting their control, and even the court officials were clearly taking sides. The power within the court had almost been divided up, and the Forbidden Army within the imperial city had fallen under the control of the Second Prince.
As for the hundred thousand City Guard outside the city, it was now under the Third Prince's command.
It can be said that unless some dark forces were used, he was a monarch without any power and he was even weaker than his own sons. However, fortunately, Princess Changning was still loyal to the monarch and sent her troops. It was dispatched to the palace and the monarch controlled it, otherwise he might had to seek ancestor's assistance.
Currently, Azure Cloud was in chaos, with deaths occurring daily.
Naturally, Su Xing'er was aware of these matters, but she didn't pay much attention. This was a fantasy world; isn't death quite normal here? As long as they didn't provoke her Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, she didn't mind.
Moreover, with this incident, the revenue of her Kyushu Chamber of Commerce had increased by more than twenty percent. Why wouldn't she seize this opportunity?
