Chapter 384 Great Demon Breakthrough
In the following period, the Xuanmiao Chamber of Commerce collaborated with Lin Changsheng to gain a reputation for high-quality talismans, and its development within Mingyu Immortal City was rapid.
In reality, Lin Changsheng provided a small number of talismans, but their quality was excellent, surpassing talismans of the same level.
Xuanmiao Chamber of Commerce promoted itself extensively, using corresponding marketing strategies to greatly enhance the reputation of its talismans.
As a result, when people have a need for magical talismans, they will subconsciously think of Xuanmiao Chamber of Commerce.
Even if those low-level spells were not made by Lin Changsheng, as long as the quality is not bad and there is no case of inferior goods being passed off as superior ones, customers will feel it is a good deal if the price is reduced slightly.
Besides the magic talismans, it even boosted other businesses related to magic talismans within the Xuanmiao Chamber of Commerce, turning their overall performance from loss to profit.
During this period, Master Wu from the Chamber of Commerce was in high spirits, as if he were experiencing a happy event.
Before this, he had already planned to be content with the status quo and wait for the younger generation of Cangming Mountain in the Chamber of Commerce to grow up. If a few Foundation Establishment cultivators could emerge and become second-generation disciples of Cangming Mountain, then with a little maneuvering, they could be transferred to Mingyu Immortal City as stewards, which would naturally help the family to develop its business.
Who would have thought that I would be able to collaborate with a third-tier rune master from elsewhere and achieve my goals ahead of schedule.
On this day, Master Wu, as usual, checked the branch's accounts.
A female cultivator at the Golden Core stage, dressed in a long purple dress, descended upon the branch headquarters.
"Elder Jin Mengqiao!"
When Master Wu saw the newcomer, dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, whose every move exuded elegance, he immediately became serious after a brief reaction.
"Greetings, Elder Jin. I am a steward of the Mingyu Immortal City branch. You can call me Xiao Wu."
Facing Jin Mengqiao, who was even younger than him, Master Wu bowed deeply and extended an invitation with great enthusiasm and humility.
In fact, this was the first time he had met Elder Jin Mengqiao of the General Association.
However, they already knew the woman's identity and her purpose for coming.
Although he was stationed at the branch, Wu Zhenren also had several friends at the headquarters, with whom he maintained close relationships in order to gather information about the headquarters' decisions and movements.
Two months ago, a friend of Wu Zhenren in the General Association sent a message with the latest news from the Chamber of Commerce's senior management.
Soon, Jin Mengqiao Zhenren will be dispatched to the grassroots branch of Mingyu Immortal City to pay a special visit to that third-tier talisman master.
Having been informed in advance by a friend, the experienced and shrewd Master Wu naturally found out Elder Jin Mengqiao's preferences beforehand, made preparations for her arrival, and waited for her to come to his door.
"Now that they've recognized the real person, there's no need to show any tokens to prove their identity."
Jin Mengqiao looked slightly surprised, then waved her hand, putting away the identity token and producing an additional transfer order issued by the General Administration. She then said:
“Deacon Wu, the branch you have been in charge of has seen a significant increase in revenue during this period, far exceeding previous expectations. For this achievement, the Chamber of Commerce will increase its investment in the future, and the cultivation benefits for your descendants will also be improved accordingly.”
"Thank you, Elder Jin. I will certainly do my utmost for the Chamber of Commerce."
Upon hearing this, Master Wu was overjoyed and immediately reiterated his stance.
He was already quite old, and due to his eagerness for quick success in his early years, he failed to cultivate himself properly and thus became a pseudo-core cultivator.
For nearly two hundred years after that, his cultivation level did not improve at all.
Although he obtained a fragmented secret technique for alchemy a hundred years ago, he lacked the courage to try it due to years of neglecting his cultivation and his advanced age.
They could only place their hopes on their offspring.
"Don't mention it, you deserve all of this."
"The reason I have come here today is related to that Master Lin. Let us make some arrangements. Master Wu, you must tell me all the information you currently have about Master Lin, without omitting anything."
After a few polite words, Jin Mengqiao got straight to the point.
Fortunately, Master Wu was already familiar with Elder Jin's decisive and efficient personality, so he was not surprised and was well prepared.
"Reporting to Elder Jin, that Senior Lin's background is somewhat mysterious; he is not a cultivator from Beicang..."
……
The next day.
Mingyu Immortal City, Third-Order Daoist Temple.
"Elder Jin, you've come at an inopportune time. Senior Lin has been away for the past few days and has not yet returned."
Looking at the elegant woman in a purple dress, respectfully accompanied by Master Wu, Hu Xiaoli felt a little nervous.
She didn't hold a high position in the Chamber of Commerce and didn't know this Golden Core female cultivator, but she knew that the Golden Core realm was already a high-level position in the Chamber of Commerce, and there were very few female Golden Core cultivators. It was almost easy for her to guess the identity of this senior.
After all, given Hu Xiaoli's status, she was not qualified to meet with a Golden Core level elder in the Chamber of Commerce.
"I heard from Deacon Wu that you are a disciple of this branch who was selected to join the Cangming Mountain sect?"
Jin Mengqiao's gaze fell on Hu Xiaoli, and she casually asked.
But without waiting for a response, he continued to ask:
"Does this Lin Fu Master often go out?"
"This... Senior Lin... he almost never goes out."
When Jin Mengqiao asked her question, Hu Xiaoli hesitated and her expression turned conflicted.
In order to stay by Senior Lin's side, Hu Xiaoli assumed the role of a servant, as it concerned Senior Lin's movements, which she was not supposed to disclose casually.
However, she was, after all, from the Xuanmiao Chamber of Commerce, and had previously, under Wu Zhenren's persistent questioning, had reluctantly revealed some details of Senior Lin's daily life. Now, with a Golden Core elder from the Chamber of Commerce in front of her, the pressure on her increased even more.
"Then it seems that I have come at an inopportune time."
"Once Master Lin returns, remember to spread the news immediately. I will come to visit you again."
Jin Mengqiao scanned the entire dojo with her divine sense, and after a rough assessment, she noticed that the wood element aura here was relatively active. She did not forcibly investigate the caves and secret places with restrictions, and withdrew her divine sense.
At the same time, it was also noticed that Hu Xiaoli had a worried look on her face and seemed to be in a very difficult situation.
"Don't worry, since Master Lin knows you are a member of the Chamber of Commerce, he still keeps you by his side. He won't care if you pass on some unimportant messages to the Chamber of Commerce. If there are any matters involving privacy, he will give you special instructions or keep them from you."
Jin Mengqiao seemed to sense something, softened her voice, and took the initiative to offer words of comfort.
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoli felt a great sense of relief, and her inner turmoil subsided.
……
Half a month later.
The border junction between Beicang and Gunzhou.
On the vast sandbar, a clear and long cry pierced the sky, accompanied by a powerful aura of demonic energy rising up. Within a radius of a hundred feet, a fierce wind suddenly swept across, stirring up a sky full of yellow sand. Such a strange phenomenon blotted out the sun.
Soon after, a third-tier sand lizard, riddled with holes and long since dried out, fell to the ground.
Between its skulls was a dark hole, and the demon core that had originally grown there was nowhere to be seen.
Before long, amidst the raging yellow sand, a faint blue-green figure emerged.
It was none other than Xunfeng Ya, who had advanced to the late stage of the third rank.
'Waaaah!'
Hundreds of miles away, Lin Changsheng, dressed in white, sat quietly cross-legged on a sand dune.
Beside him, the Snow Demon Wolf excitedly slapped its tail and howled to the sky. Its loud voice was extremely penetrating and could be faintly heard from dozens of miles away.
Unlike Yan Kingdom, the natural environment of Beicang and the neighboring Gunzhou and other cultivation worlds is harsh, with ferocious beasts roaming freely and ruling their own territories. For thousands of miles around, there are no traces of humans.
It's the perfect place for the Wind Crow to soar through the skies, and for the Snow Demon Wolf to writhe and roll around.
Meanwhile, after years of accumulation, their respective strengths have also recently made breakthroughs.
