Shen Lian changed his appearance and entered the mining city. The layout of this mining city was similar to that of the Red Crystal Mining City, and the entrances to the mines were both located in the center of the city.

The only difference is that the center of the Red Crystal Mine City is a huge Red Mountain, while in the center of the Yellow Jade Mine City is an extremely large ochre-colored palace.

The trigger has been released, it just depends on whether the cultivators from Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce will come.

Shen Lian carefully studied the operation mode of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce and found that there were masters behind this chamber of commerce. By giving storage rings to real people, he gained the favor of many real people.

Even some fake elixirs and even the next-level golden elixir-level forces are proud to obtain the Qianqiu Storage Ring.

As for whether Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has a secret method to deduce the mysteries of heaven, the possibility of this happening is no more than 20%.

Even if cultivators are sent here, at most they will be led by a fake golden elixir cultivator. A real golden elixir cultivator will not do such trivial reconnaissance work.

Shen Lian even felt that before he figured out the truth of the matter, the person who came might be a foundation-building cultivator.

"If things really don't go well here, then we can just flee to other mining cities."

Shen Lian muttered to himself as he looked at the monks coming and going in the Topaz Mine City.

After learning about the Topaz Mine City, he did not even rent a house in the city. He went out directly and temporarily settled down in a mixed residence outside the city, and gave himself the identity of a first-class weapon refiner.

…

South China Sea, Qianqiu Mountain Headquarters.

The mountains here are lush and green, with towering peaks, stretching for hundreds of miles. There are flickering spiritual light and rolling spiritual mist between the mountains.

Especially the main peak surrounded by mountains, it is like a sharp sword standing on the earth, and the surrounding rock walls are cut smooth and straight.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in brilliant five-colored divine light. From afar, one can see a huge palace complex floating in the sea of ​​clouds.

This is the core of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

Only the Chamber of Commerce's president, vice president, core managers and others can reside in the palace permanently.

There are palaces of varying sizes on the other peaks around the main peak, with many monks coming and going in them.

On this day, from a palace complex with a plaque reading "Si Fang" hanging on it on the east side of the main peak, a foundation-building cultivator flew out and headed towards the main peak.

After a while, the monk entered a side hall in the core palace complex with familiarity.

"Vice President Yang, the outside spies reported back the news of the Cave Heaven Stone."

In the side hall, there was a hunched figure with white hair sitting cross-legged.

"Got it. Notify the local elders and proceed with the process."

"yes."

The foundation-building monk who received the order bowed outside the hall and slowly retreated.

We will continue to handle it, that is, deal with this matter in the same way as before.

The Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has been established for 1,500 years, which makes it very young compared to other sects in the South China Sea.

But in just 1,500 years, the Chamber of Commerce has spread throughout the South China Sea and has branches in other nearby areas.

Looking at the entire South China Sea, among all the chambers of commerce, big and small, although Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has not admitted that it is the number one chamber of commerce, Qianqiu says that it is the second, and no chamber of commerce dares to say that it is the first.

This development is possible thanks to the fifth-generation president of the Chamber of Commerce, Qianqiu Zhenren Lu Mengqiu.

He is also the head of the Lu family, the leader of the four Jindan families in the Chamber of Commerce. He established the Chamber of Commerce system and suppressed the four major families behind the Chamber of Commerce from exceeding their authority and interfering in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

After returning to his office location, the Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly began to verify the location from which the message was sent back.

Tianzhushan mining area, between the topaz and red crystal mining cities.

As the main ore producing area in the southern continent and also the main ore material producing area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce, the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has established a branch in this northern area, headed by a vice president and three elders.

In Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, there are only four vice presidents, each of whom is a Jindan Zhenren, and the elders are all Jiadan cultivators.

In order to ensure the stability of the ore-producing areas, the Chamber of Commerce has the largest number of personnel stationed in the mining areas, accounting for a quarter of the total number of real people in the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhou Chenghui, the vice president of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce in Yunshang's main mining city, soon received news from the headquarters.

Of course, the message was not passed directly to Zhou Chenghui. As a Jindan elder, he had no time to deal with trivial matters. So the message was given to the Jiadan elder.

Inside the Chamber of Commerce compound, in a pavilion, an old man was squinting his eyes, and a graceful maid was playing the piano beside him.

A ray of rainbow light came rushing in from outside, and after landing in the yard, the figure stopped. As the light faded, a spirited middle-aged male monk was revealed.

"Elder Geng, what is the matter that you called me back?"

The middle-aged monk first bowed slightly outside the pavilion, then walked into the pavilion and sat down.

Elder Geng also opened his eyes. "Nothing else. The spies in the Yellow Jade Mine City sent back a message saying that a few days ago, two Foundation Establishment cultivators were suspected of discovering the Dongtian Stone Mine, and a fight broke out. One of them died by self-destructing his Dantian, and the remaining one is still missing."

As he spoke, Elder Geng handed a jade slip to the middle-aged monk.

"The detailed information is all in here, Elder Tian, ​​please take a look yourself."

Elder Geng narrowed his eyes again and swayed his head to follow the music.

He was the first to know the news in the jade slip, even earlier than the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. He was the one who asked his monks to report it to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Now the Chamber of Commerce has issued the order back, and as expected, they are allowed to handle the matter as usual.

Not only does the going back and forth waste time, it also looks very cumbersome, just like taking off pants to fart.

But this is the rule set by Master Qianqiu. All rumors and news collected outside must be reported to the headquarters as soon as possible, and records must be left at the headquarters. The branches are not allowed to disobey the rules in private.

After Elder Tian finished reading, Elder Geng opened his eyes again.

"Elder Liu is busy with other things. I need to stay in the main mining city to handle the ore transaction. Elder Tian has to go to the Topaz Mine City to investigate the truth of this matter."

Elder Tian took the jade slip, nodded and said nothing more.

When it comes to collecting cave stones, the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has a special search system. Of course, this system was also promoted personally by the chamber’s owner, Qianqiu Zhenren.

Why can it be implemented in the Chamber of Commerce? True Man Yi Qianqiu has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, and True Man Er Qianqiu really dares to kill people.

It can be said that the rapid development of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce is due to the courage and decisiveness of Master Qianqiu, as well as the clear rewards and punishments.

"I have ordered the Chamber of Commerce spies near the Topaz Mine City to begin investigating. Elder Tian will go there and ask the people below for the details."

"Okay, I'll rush to the topaz mining city right now. If there really is a cave stone vein, it will definitely be in the hands of our Chamber of Commerce."

Elder Geng nodded, and two jade boxes appeared in his hands.

"I have just reported to Vice President Zhou. You should take the two spiritual objects taken from the treasury with you. The two mining cities of Huangyu and Chijing are respectively controlled by Yuhua Sect and Chiyang Sect. Send these two spiritual objects to them."

Elder Tian took the spiritual object with a wave of his hand. Whenever the Chamber of Commerce arrived at a place, it had always been doing things to build good relationships with the local sects.

Over the years, the spiritual objects given away by the Chamber of Commerce have already been priced at sky-high prices.

However, it is also because of this that Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce can grow bigger and bigger.

It's a pity that the Chamber of Commerce does not have a Nascent Soul, otherwise the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce would not be limited to the South China Sea, but would become a large Chamber of Commerce spanning the entire Tiannan Continent.

Fortunately, there is still a chance. The current leader is very strategic and has even reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, and is only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage.

Just...

Elder Tian felt something in his heart and looked up at the towering Yunshang Tower in the main mining city.

…

Topaz mining town.

Shen Lian was swinging an iron hammer. As a low-level weapon refiner, swinging the iron hammer to help knock out impurities in the ore was a very practical method when the temperature was not high enough.

For more than half a month, the news about the appearance of cave stones near the mining city spread as expected.

A cave stone the size of a grain of rice can be sold at a low price of 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones.

What's more, there are rumors that a cave stone mine has been discovered.

Unlike other mineral veins, the Dongtian Stone Mine is very small and is a companion mineral of cloud crystal stone.

Compared with Dongtian Stone, Yunjing Stone is much cheaper.

Moreover, the raw stones of Dongtian Stone are quite small, and there are few big ones.

In addition, he also confirmed a piece of news.

Here in the mining area, there are spies from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce inside and outside each city, whose main purpose is to obtain real-time information such as where high-level ores appear.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, one can imagine how attractive it is to high-level ores.

…

"roar!"

On this day, Shen Lian, who was forging iron, heard a roaring dragon's roar in his ears.

Looking up, I saw a rolling cloud of fire in the distance, heading towards the Topaz Mine City.

"A Fiery Dragon with a third-level bloodline!"

A monk exclaimed, with envy in his eyes.

Even though most of the cultivators in the mining area have spiritual beasts, they are no match for one another.

The Fiery Dragon is a famous third-level bloodline, and it has the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth level when it reaches adulthood. It is not like those monsters that are descendants of third-level monsters and whose promotion to the third level depends on probability.

As long as there are no accidents, this thing will definitely be promoted to a third-level demon king. In the circle of Jindan Zhenren, it is a hot commodity . As long as someone finds the trace of the Fiery Dragon, just revealing its location can sell it for a high price.

Dragon-like monsters are good at flying and hiding underground, and can be said to be top-notch flying spirit beasts. They would not even be traded for a spirit ship.

Riding a dragon is so majestic.

"It's a real person from Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce. I have seen this Fiery Dragon in the main mining city."

"Which elder from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce is this? Hey... the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce is really here!"

…

Seeing the flaming dragon flying over, everyone looked up and watched, and Shen Lian was not surprised.

He was not jealous. His little Sanqian would definitely be much more handsome than this dragon in the future.

This one is so ugly.

I saw a figure sitting cross-legged above the dragon's huge head, between the two slightly raised dragon horns, with a strong aura of fire lingering around his body.

This man had a middle-aged appearance, and his brows exuded an air of majesty without even getting angry. It was obvious that he had been controlling people for many years and was in a position to give orders.

"Elder Tian from Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce."

"You have a lot of control over the Cave Heaven Stone."

Catching the discussions of some monks, Shen Lian stroked the handle of the big iron hammer in his hand and said secretly.

There really was a fake Dan, and also a second-level perfect demon dragon.

Judging from the power of this demon dragon, its combat capability is probably not weaker than that of the fake pill.

Elder Tian rode the savagely fiery dragon outside the city gate, and asked the dragon to restrain its aura and turn into a foot in size. Then the man and the dragon headed towards the city.

"No, we need to prepare more."

Putting down the big hammer, Shen Lian headed towards the forest.

…

After Elder Tian entered the city, he headed directly towards the huge palace complex in the center of the city.

"The elders of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce are here in person. This is truly a rare guest."

Outside the palace, the Yuhua Sect's Jiadan Elder had already appeared.

Elder Tian bowed and saluted, but he didn't seem to like to laugh very much, and the smile on his face looked a little awkward.

"Elder Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I happened to be passing by the Topaz Mine City, so I came to pay my respects to Master Yuyang of your sect."

There are two Jindan Zhenren in Huayang Sect. Zhenren Yuyang is the sect master and also the strongest person in the sect.

The one called Elder Lu did not reveal Elder Tian's thoughts. Everyone knows that once Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce smells the scent of the Dongtian Stone, it will pounce on you madly.

"My headmaster just came out of retreat, please come in."

Although Elder Tian is only an elder of the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, the Huayang Sect still dares not neglect him.

Apart from anything else, the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has a vice president in the main city of Yunshang whose strength is comparable to that of their leader.

Besides, Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has many spiritual objects, all of which are needed by Huayang Sect.

In the main hall, the fragrant mist from burning sandalwood fills the air, and the sound of stringed instruments lingers in the air.

True Man Yuyang had her hair tied up in a high bun, her face was thin, and her eyes were bright.

“I’ve seen the real person.”

Elder Tian bowed first when he entered the room.

Seeing this, Master Yuyang smiled.

"I haven't seen Elder Tian for a long time. The last time I saw him was at an auction 20 years ago."

Before True Man Yuyang could speak, a jade box appeared in Elder Tian's hand.

"My family leader also misses discussing the Dao with the real person, so he specifically asked me to pass this small gift to the real person."

Taoist Yuyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at the jade box that sealed the talisman. To seal it with talismans to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy, it must be at least a third-level spiritual object.

After taking the spiritual object and putting it aside, True Man Yuyang stretched out his hand and led Elder Tian to sit down.

With the spiritual object as a buffer, the communication between the two sides became more harmonious.

"Elder Tian is here this time for the Cave Heaven Stone, right?"

"good."

Elder Tian nodded. The rumors outside were not groundless, and they were not a secret at the level of Jindan Zhenren.

It cannot be said that 100% of the Dongtian Stones in the South China Sea are monopolized by the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, but more than 90% is still enough.

Why do we want to monopolize the cave stones? This is also the intention of the leader.

At least since the plan to monopolize the Dongtian Stone began, many Jindan and Jiadan Zhenren in the South China Sea have received storage rings from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

"If Elder Tian needs help, just tell Elder Lu directly."

True Man Yuyang spoke, and it was natural to be polite when accepting someone's gift.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master."

Elder Tian cupped his hands. He understood that this was just a polite remark from True Man Yuyang, and he didn't intend to really trouble the Yuhua Sect.

After a visit, Elder Tian left the palace complex, and Elder Lu sent him out and came back.

"metropolitan."

"You must watch carefully everything Elder Tian does while he is in the mining city. If the Yunshang Sect asks about it, we will have a response."

True Man Yuyang sighed. He couldn't afford to offend Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, and he couldn't afford to offend Yunshang Sect even more.

Elder Lu nodded and chuckled, "I heard that the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has many Dongtian stone mines in its hands, but none of them have been developed.

If it was just to refine the storage ring, these cave stones would probably last for thousands of years. Now they are collecting cave stone mines. Could it be that they are selling storage rings that can last for 10,000 years? Could it be that Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has some great opportunity?"

"Hey... this is not something we can know." Master Yuyang rubbed the storage ring in his hand. This ring was also given to him by Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, you keep an eye on Elder Tian. If it's a small matter, I'll help you with it. If it's a big matter... I suddenly had some insights today, so I'm going to go into seclusion..."

"Follow the master's order."

Elder Lu gave a look that said "I understand" and slowly retreated.
