Outside the mountain gate of the Hunyuan Sect
"What do you want by chasing after me?"
Yang Xueling was furious when she saw her husband chasing after her.
"I told you to take over the Heavenly Demon Sect, but you refused. I told you to find your daughter, but you refused. Now I'll go find her myself. You dare to stop me?"
"Xueling, let me explain..."
"Then do you dare to start a war with the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
"This... needs further investigation... and also..."
Xiao Yuxuan looked troubled and stammered.
"If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. Stop talking about all that! With a sect leader like you, the Hunyuan Sect can't even protect its own daughter. It's not far from its collapse!"
Yang Xueling left as soon as she finished speaking, giving Xiao Yuxuan no chance to explain again.
Xiao Yuxuan could only throw out a token and shout from behind.
"Go to the Vast Ocean Fortress and find Elder Chen. It'll be good to travel together and have someone to look after you!"
Xiao Yuxuan watched his wife walk away and sighed helplessly.
Actually, having a daughter in the East China Sea might not be such a bad thing.
Once it's found, the Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely come knocking...
Not letting your daughter choose her own happiness... that's the most incompetent thing you can do.
However, the Hunyuan Sect of today is not the same as the Hunyuan Sect of the past.
When his daughter was born, she inherited the spirit of the Illusionary Sword. Less than three months later, the Heavenly Sword Sect came knocking on their door.
If someone from the sect hadn't leaked the news, how could it have happened so quickly!
Moreover, in the subsequent negotiations, he, as the sect leader, was hampered at every turn and was almost unable to speak.
If it weren't for the sect's patriarch intervening, my daughter would almost certainly have been given away on the spot...
What's the point of being a sect leader like that?
Thinking this, a resolute glint appeared in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes. He glanced once more in the direction his wife had left, then turned and returned to his sect...

Qingyun Sect
"What did you say? Ten Golden Core Pills?"
Great Master Dafang stood up in surprise from his chair, looking at True Man Qingsong in disbelief.
Qingsong nodded.
"Six low-grade and four mid-grade, and the other party wants to buy them outright, and will also pay nine hundred million spirit stones or corresponding goods later!"
This is insane! Ten billion! Even the Qingyun Sect couldn't come up with three or five times that amount in liquid funds!
Among them, nearly one hundred million worth of pills were actually delivered by a Qi Refining disciple.
Is this still a small market?
Even the Qingyun Sect wouldn't accept a cultivation technique like this!
What secrets does this technique hold?
How did they know this technique?
After speaking frankly, he paused, suddenly remembering that Yang Dan was a disciple of their sect.
Qingsong knew what his senior master wanted to say, so he spoke directly.
"To date, Junior Nephew Bai has taught fewer than twenty people, including his own disciples. Fourteen of them left the sect automatically after their terms expired. The whereabouts of most of them can be traced, but the whereabouts of a few are unknown, including... Qinghe's disciple, Ye Feng!"
And Ye Feng too!
Da Fang paused for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression.
"We can't let her buy it outright, only a partial buyout! Also, have Qinghe inquire whether the Golden Core stage can be sold separately..."
"yes!"
"Also, ask if Yunxia Market needs our protection. These few Qi Refining cultivators possess such enormous wealth; it's truly..."
Qingsong nodded and agreed to the task.
Previously, due to Li Qinghe's plea, Yunxia Market had been temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect.
The punishment for Yang Dan was simply dropped.
Although this arrangement was made before the original owner returned, Yang Dan is indeed in charge now.
The allegiance of a subordinate faction is naturally a good political achievement.
Forget about punishment, even if all the disciples went out to establish their own power bases, we would only welcome them.
The only thing the Qingyun Sect needs to give up is a nominal affiliation.
Yunxia Market is located outside the Qingyun area, so it doesn't even need protection.
However, the benefits are enormous.
This includes influence, sales channels, transit points, and so on.
But now, they suddenly discovered that this subordinate force had risen to be almost as tall as them.
This affiliation needs to be re-planned, and its status has become more important.
More importantly, although Yang Dan was unwilling to reveal any information, she did not hesitate to agree to temporary affiliation.
If she can't make the decision directly, then there's only one reason.
That was the owner of the market, who had long intended to pledge allegiance to the Qingyun Sect!

East China Sea
After changing to a flying boat in Lieyang City, and after another seven days of sailing, Ye Feng and his companion finally arrived at the Eastern Sea Holy Land, Hanhai City!
The island is not large, only a few thousand square kilometers.
But the densely packed buildings in the center of the island left Ye Feng speechless.
Since coming into this world, apart from a few tower buildings, this was the first time he had ever seen a building with more than ten stories.
It's a building! A building that looks extremely similar to modern architecture.
Inland, most buildings are wooden pavilions, and even stone halls generally do not exceed five stories... Of course, pagoda-shaped magical artifacts are an exception.
I have no idea how these buildings were constructed.
Ye Feng found it novel, and Xiao Xuan had never seen it before either.
Their wandering around quickly attracted the attention of several low-level cultivators who acted as guides.
Ye Feng randomly selected one person and told her to find a place to stay first.
"Accommodation and rest in Hanhai City are divided into three classes."
The first-class option is a cave dwelling on the edge of a vast island, costing anywhere from 100,000 to 1 million spirit stones per month.
The spiritual energy here is abundant, even surpassing Qinghe's cave dwelling. A monthly fee of 100,000 is not expensive.
"The second option is the inns in the outer city. Because they are located within the city, and the inns themselves have spirit-gathering formations and various spirit foods available, the prices range from five thousand to thirty thousand per day."
Hiss... Charging by the day, such a large city, how much revenue must it generate in a day...?
"Thirdly, there are the high-rise buildings in the inner city. Each building is protected by a level four array, which not only makes them stable but also absolutely guarantees the privacy of guests. Inside the buildings, there are also restaurants, entertainment venues, gambling facilities, and other services. High-level cultivators who come here will definitely try them out."
Prices vary by floor, ranging from 50,000 to 1 million per day.
Depend on....
Ye Feng could see nearly a hundred "buildings" at a glance. If they were all occupied, the daily income would be in the hundreds of millions.
This young girl has a keen eye; she can estimate their spending power just by looking at their clothes and appearance. It has to be said, she is quite talented.
"I see quite a few Qi Refining cultivators on the street. At this price... not everyone can afford it, right?"
