The girl had an arrogant look on her face and said angrily: "Who is Chen Sheng? If it weren't for his aunt and my father's protection, he would have been eaten to pieces. What an ungrateful villain! Hateful!"
The woman was Chen Sheng's cousin Chen Zheng. Her husband Qi Shaliang patted her hand and soothed her: "Cousin Sheng may not be happy staying in a remote place like Beiya City. Now that he is back, you have a chance to get closer to him."
"Hmph, if you want to get close to him, go get close to him yourself. I, Chen Zheng, have no interest in accompanying such an ungrateful wolf!" Chen Zheng slapped Qi Shaliang's hand away unhappily, turned around and ran away angrily. He was just relying on his aunt's power. He didn't think that she was also a member of the Chen family. Could that woman really give them a cold shoulder?
This mansion actually has their family members. They all have the surname Chen. Why can Chen Sheng live here but they can't?
Qi Shaliang stood there looking at his palm with a puzzled expression, and then sneered. The Qi family was one of the families that joined the Double Star Company later, but after years of hard work, their power was only behind the Chen and Zhu families. The reason why he married Chen Zheng was nothing more than to swallow up the Chen family through her. Then they could not only replace the Chen family, but even surpass the Zhu family, making Double Star Company the Double Star Company of the Qi family.
If it weren't for this purpose, how could he tolerate Chen Zheng's arrogant temper? But I didn't expect Chen Sheng's luck to be so good. He didn't die in Beiya City and got a chance. Not only did he not delay his cultivation, but his cultivation level was obviously much higher than ten years ago. Even his aunt was noticed by a certain inner chamber alchemist and entered the inner chamber. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't intervene, the Qi family would have sent someone to secretly get rid of that woman.
His luck is really good. Qi Shaliang's eyes flashed with anger. Was he going to watch the Chen family rise again?
Chen Sheng patiently exchanged polite words with his uncle for a long time, and only felt relieved after sending him away.
Gu Yao and Chi Changye had no intention of getting involved in the internal struggle of Shuangxing Trading Company, so they stayed in Chen's house very low-key and had no intention of going to the headquarters of Shuangxing Trading Company.
Chen Sheng asked someone to bring a list of goods from the Double Star Company and handed it to the two of them. He also knew that exposing the two of them under other people's eyes might anger them and harm them, so it was better to leave it this way for now.
The two of them were very interested in the list and asked Chen Sheng to do his own thing first. They slowly picked out the items and handed the list to Chen Sheng after they had made their selection.
After Chen Sheng left, Gu Yao was in a very good mood as he read the list. It was called a list, but it was actually a thick book. In addition to the text description, each item was also accompanied by a very realistic image.
"The Double Star Company is really rich. There are so many good things and they want everything. I think our spirit stones will be worn out." Gu Yao sighed as he looked at it.
Xu Chen sneered: "It's just a merchant in a third-rate city, and you are dazzled by it? You are too surprised by what you have seen. Don't mention my name when you go out in the future. I think it is embarrassing."
Gu Yao chuckled: "Of course you don't need to remind me of this, senior. I certainly won't mention it, otherwise I don't know how many enemies I will attract." He muttered in his heart that the senior was too ignorant of himself.
Xu Chen was very angry. Chi Changye smiled and said to Gu Yao: "It doesn't matter. You can earn more spirit stones when you run out."
Having said that, Gu Yao was still very frugal this time. No matter how many and how good the things were, practicality was still the main thing. So he mostly picked spirit herbs for refining fifth-grade pills, plus some materials for making talismans. While picking, he said: "I'll go to Beiwang City to take a look if I get a chance. The spirit herb resources there must be more abundant. If I want to exchange alchemy skills in Huangzhou, I guess I'll have to go there."
He had to go to Lingzhou, but he didn't know when he would have to. Right now, Guiyuan Pavilion in Beiwang City was the easiest place to go.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The price of fifth-grade spiritual herbs was not low, so even though Gu Yao was frugal, he still spent a lot of spiritual stones on top of the original deduction to get all the selected items. Along with these items, he also sent the most complete map that Chen Sheng could get.
The business scope of Shuangxing Trading Company is also limited to the scope of Huangzhou. It cannot even break into a city like Beiwang City, let alone go out of Huangzhou. It needs strong power to hold the city. Without the power guarantee, it will only be swallowed up by other trading companies. Therefore,
the map that Chen Sheng brought has the terrain of Huangzhou clearly marked, but the farther away from Huangzhou, the less clear it is. Most of the nearby areas are also pieced together from other forces. Compared with those major forces that have been passed down for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, the strength of Shuangxing Trading Company is still very shallow.
However, this map is very useful to Gu Yao and Chi Changye now. From the map, it can be seen that Huangzhou is located at the northernmost end, far away from the center of the spirit world. No wonder Xu Chen didn't know where he was in the spirit world at first.
"Thank you very much." Gu Yao was very satisfied. This map alone must be worth a lot of spirit stones.
"Are you leaving now?" Chen Sheng was a little reluctant. It was rare to meet friends who could get along well. There was no conflict of interest. There was no need to be afraid of getting along with them. But they were leaving again in a blink of an eye. He clearly knew this situation a long time ago. Unlike Luo Xiao, he couldn't pull these two people, so his attitude towards them was different from the beginning.
Chi Changye said calmly: "We will stay in Feichuan City for a while. Since we are here, we will not miss the scenery here. If there is anything, please contact us. However, our strength is limited."
The dispute of Shuangxing Commercial Bank is not something he and Gu Yao can intervene in, unless they have the strength of Lianxu.
Gu Yao echoed: "Yes, we will take a good look around the city. Isn't your aunt now in the inner chamber of Guiyun Pavilion? Anyone who is not eager for quick success and instant benefits will see that Shuangxing Commercial Bank will have a better future by relying on your aunt. In this case, we must ensure your safety."
Now Chen Sheng's aunt is his biggest trump card and backer, unless Shuangxing Commercial Bank does not want to expand and develop.
"I know. When we go to Beiwang City, I will introduce you to my aunt." The matter of my aunt did relieve Chen Sheng of a lot of pressure.
"Okay, take care! We won't say goodbye to Captain Luo."
Gu Yao and Chi Changye said goodbye and left crisply. After leaving Chen's house and coming to a crowded place, they got rid of the people behind them in a few flashes. This was one of the reasons why they were unwilling to stay in Chen's house. After staying there for only a few days, several spirits looked at them vaguely, and some people came to test their opinions.
After getting rid of the people who were following them, the two of them left the area where Chen's house was located. Feichuan City was very large, with hundreds of millions of cultivators. It was not easy to find them. Shuangxing Trading Company was not the only dominant force in Feichuan City, and there were still many places where they could not intervene.
The two of them rented a temporary cave in a place with rich spiritual energy. Gu Yao first refined the pill happily. He had so many spiritual herbs accumulated on his body, but because of various concerns, he could not let go of the refinement. Gu Yao felt suffocated. Now it was good. Chi Changye
smiled secretly and shook his head. Sometimes he would think in his heart that if Xiao Yao had to choose between refining the pill and him, he doubted whether he could compete with the pill furnace in front of Xiao Yao. Then he felt that his idea was absurd, because Gu Yao never asked him how he would choose between him and swordsmanship.
These two people were oblivious to the world outside, and only cared about their own alchemy and swordsmanship, but they didn't know that others were still thinking about them.
Qi Zhu.
Seeing his son frowning, Qi's father asked, "What's wrong? Did Chen Zheng bother you again?"
Thinking of the situation of the Chen family, Qi's father regretted marrying Chen Zheng for his son. If he had known that Chen Sheng's aunt had such a good fortune, perhaps the people of the Qi family would have set their sights on this woman, so that now this woman could also become the backstage of the Qi family.
"No," Qi Shaliang shook his head. He had no time to care about Chen Zheng these days, and she also went back to her parents' home in anger, leaving Qi Shaliang
with a lot of peace and quiet. "The two monks who came back with Chen Sheng disappeared after leaving the Chen Mansion, and the people I sent also left them behind.
"
"Are they the two monks who came from Beiya City? What's so important about people from that place?" Qi's father asked puzzledly.
He didn't care about a place like Beiya City. What kind of monks could come out of that place that were worth their attention? Hearing that Chen Sheng had brought back a few body-refining practitioners, Qi's father sneered at this. After staying in that place for ten years, even his eyelids had become shallow, but this was beneficial to the Qi family.
"Father," Qi Shaliang explained, "those two people should be the owners of the Lingyuan Gu, and they are not local monks in Beiya City, but also came from outside. It is said that they saved Chen Sheng's life from the claws of vampire bats. These two people are not simple."
Qi's father was still puzzled. No matter how complicated they were, weren't they still two Shenhua monks? The Lingyuan Gu has now been acquired by Shuangxing Trading Company. He has seen that thing. Although it can help Shuangxing Trading Company to obtain rich profits, it is not very useful for high-level cultivators, because
Qi Shaliang sighed: "Father, do you think that they can come up with the method of cultivating Lingyuan Gu by chance? Don't they have other good things? I have heard a lot of rumors about Gu Shu. If they really have other things and we can use them, it would be
great."
"This..." Father Qi didn't think much at first, but now after his son reminded him, he thought of a lot of things. Gu Shu is indeed very mysterious, and it can even control a person without leaving any trace, so that outsiders will not notice it. If they can control Chen Sheng and use it for them, it would be great.
Seeing his father's increasingly excited expression, Qi Shaliang shook his head secretly. His father was too happy too early. Perhaps those two people only knew the same thing as Ling Yuan Gai.
But those two people were too vigilant. They actually threw away the people he and Chen Zheng's father sent. You have to know that some of the people they sent had higher cultivation than them. They thought they were foolproof but failed. How could Qi Shaliang be happy?
"Keep sending people to look for them. I don't believe there is anyone in Feichuan City that our Qi family can't find!" Qi's father said fiercely.
