After the Qin family mansion was established, Qin Feng and his group had a home in the Purple Origin Immortal Realm.
He lived a relaxed and comfortable life, occasionally visiting his own properties in Ziyuan City, but spending most of his time in quiet contemplation at his residence.
More than two years passed, and with about three months left until the time agreed upon by Shang Ziming, Qin Feng planned to return to the Nine Nether Immortal Realm ahead of schedule.
Returning from the Purple Origin Immortal Realm, he would have to pass through the Fuze Immortal Realm, the Wilderness Immortal Realm, and the Guanghan Immortal Realm, so he needed to allow himself ample time.
Through their efforts over this period, their cultivation has not only become more stable but also more refined.
Qin Feng's current cultivation level is already at the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor.
Leng Yuexi, on the other hand, advanced from the peak of the Immortal King realm to the Immortal Emperor realm.
Ao Ling was also at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm. It is worth mentioning that she successfully fused with the dragon blood she had prepared beforehand, activated her own bloodline power, and completed the transformation from a phantom dragon to a void dragon.
Her control over spatial power has made a qualitative leap, and she has gained more spatial combat methods.
Of course, the increase in speed is very significant; if she is determined to escape, even an Immortal Emperor cannot catch up with her.
If its speed is unleashed at full power, it rivals a teleportation array, truly reaching anywhere in the world.
Qin Feng and his two companions bid farewell to Dongfang Zhengyu and Sima Jian and set off to return to the Nine Nether Immortal Realm.
This time, instead of using the teleportation array, Ao Ling directly manifested her dragon form and carried Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi back through the void.
When they arrived, Dongfang Zhengyu had fought his way back to avenge his daughter, a journey that took about a month.
It took them about half a month to get back. They could have gone much faster, but they didn't know the way, which delayed them. Otherwise, they would have arrived in just a few days.
This isn't even Ao Ling's fastest speed. Traveling will be much easier from now on, and she won't need to rely on teleportation arrays anymore.
Ao Ling transformed into a little girl and asked, "Brother Feng, where are we going now?"
Qin Feng thought for a moment, "We still have two months. Let's go find Brother Shang first and see if he needs our help."
They quickly arrived at Chiyang City and went to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion run by Shang Ziming. They found that there were even more people here than last time, so business seemed to be good.
At this moment, Shang Ziming had just finished a meeting with the management team, offering encouragement and giving them some instructions, telling them to pay more attention in the near future.
This family selection is very important to him. Only by taking the position of young master can he gain a voice and better realize his ambitions.
Another important reason is to avenge the previous attack.
His trip to the Heavenly Wasteland was Shang Zicong's scheme; this time, he wanted to make the other side taste defeat.
As the decisive day drew closer, Shang Ziming couldn't help but think of Qin Feng and smiled, "With Brother Qin's talent, he must be quite different now."
Just then, someone came to report, "Young Master Qin, the shopkeeper, has come to visit."
Shang Ziming was taken aback, then overjoyed, "Haha, good, you didn't neglect me, did you?"
"I wouldn't dare. I've already been taken to the VIP room as you instructed and am being served," the man said hurriedly, flustered.
Shang Ziming couldn't wait to see Qin Feng, so he rushed to the VIP room and indeed saw Qin Feng and the other two.
He beamed, "Haha, I feel relieved to see you, Brother Qin. I was worried that something might have delayed your return."
Qin Feng was also in a good mood, with a smile on his face. "This is a big deal, how can we delay? Brother Shang, how are your preparations going this time? Are you confident?"
Shang Ziming looked at Qin Feng and said, "With you here, little brother, I'm naturally confident."
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Brother Shang, you flatter me. What's the situation now?"
Shang Ziming's smile faded, and he said seriously:
"My biggest competitor is Shang Zicong. Currently, we are evenly matched."
In terms of management skills, I have a slight advantage; in terms of cultivation, I lag behind.
The final outcome depends on your ability to judge character, which means it depends on your performance, Brother Qin.
Qin Feng was very confident in himself. With his current cultivation level of Immortal Emperor, he could do whatever he wanted in the Nine Nether Immortal Realm, and helping Shang Ziming win this competition would be a piece of cake.
He didn't make any definitive statements, saying, "I will definitely do my best to help Brother Shang."
Shang Ziming was very grateful. "Then I'll leave it to you, brother."
Qin Feng waved his hand, "It's my duty to rely on Brother Shang's care in the Tianhuang Continent. By the way, once you take the position of Young Master Shang, I think we can cooperate."
Shang Ziming asked curiously, "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?"
Qin Feng explained with a smile, "I recently went to the Purple Origin Immortal Realm and acquired some assets by chance. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
Shang Ziming's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.
"Interested? Of course I'm interested."
Brother Qin, I'm truly impressed. What kind of place is the Purple Origin Immortal Realm? How did you manage to build a business there so quickly?
The thought of developing my career in the Purple Origin Immortal Realm is exhilarating! I'm determined to become the young master of the merchant family.
...
Nine Netherworld Immortal Realm, Holy Heaven City, Merchant Mansion.
The merchants are holding a clan meeting to elect a young master.
The selection of the young master is a matter of great importance to the rise and fall of the family, and this is a big deal for the business. For this reason, they invited some influential figures with which they had dealings to witness the event.
This was a clan gathering within the business community, and the scene was quite grand.
Shang Ziming was somewhat excited, full of confidence, determined to obtain the position of young master.
He arrived with Qin Feng and the others. He sat in the designated spot, while Qin Feng and the other two sat behind him.
Qin Feng looked around the venue; it was crowded, with almost every seat filled.
He saw a few familiar faces, including Yan Yi and Yan Lie from the Yan family of the Black Rope Immortal Realm, but he didn't recognize the others.
If Hei Sha and Yuan Hong were still alive, they would probably have been invited, but that's impossible now.
Apart from Shang Ziming, Manager Qian, and Xiaoya, he didn't know any of the other people in the business.
As Qin Feng surveyed the venue, he noticed an unfriendly gaze sweeping over them, but it seemed the gaze wasn't directed at him.
He turned his head and saw a young man who looked somewhat similar to Shang Ziming walking towards them.
Qin Feng had some guesses about this person's identity. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Shang Ziming's older brother, Shang Zicong, who was also Shang Ziming's main rival.
His guess was quickly confirmed when Shang Ziming's voice rang out, "He is Shang Zicong."
Shang Ziming was accompanied by several people, one of whom Qin Feng happened to recognize.
This man, a Golden Immortal, helped the Black Fiends in the Black Fiend City. His name is Shang Siyuan, and he is one of Shang Zicong's men.
At this moment, Qin Feng seemed to understand something: the merchants basically did not interfere in the disputes of the Black Rope Immortal Realm, while Shang Siyuan stood on the side of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace.
If Shang Zicong and Hei Sha didn't have some kind of shady dealings, then something truly bizarre would happen.
Shang Zicong walked quickly, and they soon arrived in front of Shang Ziming.
He paused slightly, glanced at Shang Ziming with amusement, then glanced at Qin Feng and the other two, before leaving as if nothing had happened. He went to his seat, lifted his robe, and sat down.
