Chapter 1048: Five Years of Change
Jiushan State.
After five years of development, the only free trade state in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has undergone tremendous changes.
From being deserted, it has now become prosperous.
Looking around, the endless plains are all occupied by monks' caves, guarding the Jiushan Trading City in the center.
After several expansions, the scale of the trade city has expanded nearly ten times compared to the initial stage, but it still cannot meet the growing trade needs.
Every monk who had just arrived in the city had a face full of excitement and curiosity, and was lost in the dazzling array of goods in the city.
Zhao Xian knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed to a faceless stone statue in the shadow above him.
Then he walked out of the secret room, opened the shop door, and started his first business after completing the purchase.
He didn't even need to actively promote the store. Before long, the store was crowded with monks who came to shop.
The product descriptions and prices were all clearly marked, so the monks could complete their purchases on their own without the store owner having to do it himself.
There was no bargaining because in Jiushan Province, goods were often sold out soon after they were put up for sale.
This is certainly because all the products that can be sold in Jiushan State are rare products that are unique to each state.
But the most fundamental reason is...
Zhao Xian maintained a full smile on his face, but he sighed in his heart: "No wonder everyone wants to come to Jiushanzhou now. They say that you can make a lot of money just by lying down, it really is true."
"Three years ago, the trading function of the Tianxuan Mirror was suddenly closed, and the cultivators have been unable to trade freely since then. However, the demand for trade is unlikely to disappear. So within a short period of time, five major trading cities appeared in the world, barely taking over the trading function of the Tianxuan Mirror."
"This Jiushan State is the largest among them, with the largest number of commodities."
“Not only do the monks from the states of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance come here to trade, but there are also monks from the Five Elders Association who sell specialties and purchase goods here.”
Zhao Xian looked at the endless stream of people in the store, his heart filled with gratitude: "Thanks to the help of the envoy, otherwise, I, a small Yuanying cultivator in the sea of clouds, would not be able to buy a house here."
Although half of the store's profits have to be handed over, even so, the speed of earning contribution points is much faster than in my hometown.
"As long as I save for ten years, I will not only be able to pay off all my debts, but I can even purchase the Divine Transformation Technique and [The Changes to the World] at a discount price at the Association!"
“If I can achieve the state of incarnation, my status will be very different in the future!”
"No matter how bad it is, it's OK to return to Congyunhai as a guest official. After all, there are only two Divine Transformation cultivators in the entire Congyunhai."
Zhao Xian imagined a bright future in his mind, and his eyes became more and more passionate.
After an unknown amount of time, the successful sale of an item displayed in the store suddenly woke Zhao Xian up.
It was a seemingly ordinary white jade statue. It was a simple decoration without any special functions. If there was anything special about this white jade statue, it would be the appearance of a woman carved into it.
The peerless beauty is lifelike.
However, because the asking price was too high, as high as 200,000 contribution points, it was displayed in the store for more than two years without being sold.
And today, someone actually took the initiative to buy it. You know, this statue is related to the mission assigned by the envoy!
Zhao Xian suppressed his excitement and stepped forward quickly: "Daoyou, please stay!"
A monk in a black Taoist robe, hidden in the shadows and with his face unclear, paused.
However, he ignored Zhao Xian and left without looking back.
Zhao Xian didn't chase after him either.
He just gave a meaningful smile and quietly came to the underground secret room.
Kneeled down in front of the faceless stone statue.
"Your Excellency, someone has bought the white jade statue."
Even though this was not the first time he had to report to his superiors, Zhao Xian was still very nervous. He held his breath and concentrated, not daring to have any distracting thoughts.
After Zhao Xian finished praying, he waited patiently.
Soon, a cold voice sounded in my mind.
"I see."
After just one sentence, there was no sound.
But Zhao Xian could keenly sense the coming and going of the sacred aura enveloping him.
However, his own cultivation level suddenly improved without any warning.
His joy was beyond words. Zhao Xian kowtowed several times.
"With the grace of the Supreme Envoy, even with my aptitude, I am afraid I can become a god within a hundred years."
"Those so-called geniuses who are arrogant on weekdays are far inferior to me."
Zhao Xian was extremely proud and took the affairs of the Federation of All Realms more seriously.
…
Spiritual wood world.
Li Fan has already locked on the location of the monk who bought the white jade statue.
"It turned out to be him. He's not dead yet."
The monk's disguise naturally could not escape Li Fan's eyes. After comparing it with the list in his mind, Li Fan quickly confirmed the other party's identity.
Jia Yiyuan was once a guide at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
He happened to be on duty during the time when the unusual changes occurred at the Immortal Alliance headquarters.
After the incident, Jia Yiyuan's family was wiped out from the world. A total of 342 cultivators above the Jindan level were not spared.
Jia Yiyuan himself also disappeared without a trace.
I didn't expect that he would appear in Jiushan Province today.
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan knew why he bought this white jade statue.
This white jade statue was made by Li Fan himself, and there is indeed nothing special about it.
But the person carved in the statue is no ordinary person. He is a very important person that Li Fan has secretly investigated over the years.
After the unusual incident at the Immortal Alliance headquarters that day, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance launched a bloody purge.
Countless monks were purged, and even many innocent monks were implicated.
But where there is oppression, there is resistance.
There were cultivators in the Immortal Alliance who did not sit idly by and watch the massacre, but instead extended a helping hand to those innocent people.
They had great magical powers, and even under the high-pressure pursuit of the Immortal Alliance, they managed to save the lives of a large number of monks.
The woman carved in this white jade statue is one of these "saviors".
It was as if she appeared out of nowhere, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance knew nothing about her life.
But she knew the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance very well, and she could know some top-secret orders in advance before they were issued.
Rescue the person before the butcher's knife is swung.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was furious and offered a reward for his capture, but to no avail.
Even her appearance was unclear.
The reason why Li Fan knew what she looked like was because he searched the soul of a monk she had rescued.
It’s a pity that the man didn’t know much about his savior.
In his mind, Li Fan only saw a peerless face.
