Chapter 1825: Chapter 918_3
Anyone leaving a cultivation technique in the study, claiming it could help break through the bottleneck, even demonic cultivation techniques, Sun Huanglong dared not cultivate directly.
As he pondered, Sun Huanglong quickly thought of something he had overlooked.
The fact that he was completely unaware, and even the entire Sun family estate’s restrictions were unperturbed, made it clear that the person behind the letter was not only immensely powerful but also a master of formations, a major character in the demon path.
Such individuals are few and far between across the East Continent.
If one wanted Sun Huanglong to fall, showing up directly and forcing him with great cultivation level would undoubtedly make him too afraid to refuse.
Why didn’t they appear, opting for this seemingly profound method instead?
Trying to appear as a master?
Instead, it feels somewhat sneaky.
After considering, Sun Huanglong noticed the tea set in the study, not yet tidied up, and thought of another possibility.
Is there a possibility… of a familiar person!
Thinking of this, Sun Huanglong took a deep breath.
This answer made him feel even more horrified.
If it truly is someone close, it means he had been within the demonic influence for a long time, just without realizing it.
Was my elder brother anxious for the Nascent Soul Formation because of this?
Or was my elder brother’s failure in forming the Nascent Soul due to a hidden hand from a nearby devil cultivator!
The more Sun Huanglong thought, the more he broke out in a cold sweat.
Compared to the Five Elements Sect, a clear enemy, the devil cultivator who had been hidden for a hundred years was more terrifying.
Just then, there was a knocking at the door.
“Family Head, President Chu from the Five Elements Commerce Association is here, would you like to meet him?”
The voice of a trusted aide outside brought Sun Huanglong back from his fear.
“Please ask President Chu to wait a moment, I’ll be right there!”
Sun Huanglong took a deep breath, suppressing all distracting thoughts, tidied up his appearance, and walked out of the study with unchanged expression.
In the hall, Chu Zuoshu had come with instructions from Chen Mobai to discuss cooperation with the Sun family.
The Five Elements Sect, following a win-win principle, prepared to set up some teleportation arrays in East Wu at the invitation of various families.
The endpoints of these arrays would naturally be the Stormy Immortal City currently under construction.
The key, of course, was the connection with Huangwu Immortal City, the top city in East Wu.
Opening this pathway would allow resources from East Wu and Eastern Wilderness to circulate, boost interactions among cultivators, and even enhance cultivation levels.
Upon hearing this, Sun Huanglong felt more terrified, as setting up teleportation arrays in Huangwu Immortal City would mean if the Five Elements Sect decided to act against the Sun family, their army could arrive instantly.
However, faced with Chu Zuoshu’s seemingly sincere demeanor, thinking of the two Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, Sun Huanglong dared not refuse.
“It’s a great thing, and my Sun family wholeheartedly supports it.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Zuoshu laughed heartily, then spoke of the possible years needed for constructing Stormy Immortal City, deciding to open Five Elements Commerce Association’s store in Huangwu Immortal City to avoid East Wu’s cultivators being unable to purchase genuine Five Elements Sect elixirs and magic artifacts.
Even Qing Nu Lady’s Danxia Pavilion would open a branch in Huangwu Immortal City.
By then, Eastern Wu Qi Practitioners’ dream Foundation Establishment Trithings and various supreme elixirs wouldn’t need to be sources from Eastern Wilderness through intermediaries; they could be snatched directly in Huangwu Immortal City.
In recent years, due to the fame of Danxia Pavilion, Qing Nu’s localized improvements made the quality of her elixirs far superior to other stores, creating a demand chain in East Wu.
It involved buying elixirs from Danxia Pavilion in major immortal cities of Eastern Wilderness, sometimes proactively led by Cultivation Families in East Wu.
The price of purchased Danxia Pan Pavilion’s elixirs would be double the retail price. Yet, they were still in short supply.
Because choosing a cheaper option mostly led to counterfeit Danxia Pan Pavilion’s elixirs.
Knowing this situation, Qing Nu felt she had lost a huge profit, so bringing Danxia Pavilion to East Wu was proposed again.
Chen Mobai immediately called Chu Zuoshu over and conveyed his commerce policies for East Wu, allowing him to negotiate with Sun Huanglong.
Facing the conditions of the Five Elements Sect, Sun Huanglong, mentally prepared long ago, naturally dared not refuse and agreed to all.
But while listening, he suddenly felt something seemed off.
How come these Five Elements Sect policies seem beneficial for East Wu, as if they only aimed to profit?
“That’s about it, Family Head Sun is indeed wise; I initially thought more persuasion was needed.”
Chu Zuoshu was very pleased after all his requests were met.
He had been ready for Sun Huanglong’s refusal and found alternative Golden Core families in East Wu in case of rejection.
“Sect Master Chen, no other requests?” Sun Huanglong stood up in surprise as Chu Zuoshu was about to leave.
Chu Zuoshu: “Just these, what’s wrong? Family Head Sun, do you have any requests? Feel free to speak, and I’ll bring them back to our ancestors.”
Sun Huanglong: “No, no, how could I dare have requests…”
Chu Zuoshu:”There’s one more thing. The Sect Master loves peace and heard that in East Wu, there are many mortal kingdoms fighting each other. He hopes the major families of East Wu can step up and establish a unified mortal regime, this would increase East Wu’s development potential, allowing the Five Elements Sect to earn more in the future.”
