Chapter 84 Qinghuan's strong desire for revenge
We traveled for two days straight.
By the afternoon of the third day.
We finally arrived at Cloud City.
The city is backed by the Yunxia Mountain Range. Originally, it was just a small market town. Later, as more and more cultivators passed through the area, disciples from nearby immortal sects would often go into the mountains in groups to train.
So, all the major sects sent people to this place to establish chambers of commerce.
It facilitates transactions among disciples of one's own sect.
Meanwhile, large chambers of commerce from Zhongzhou set up branches here.
As the market developed, it grew larger and larger, constantly expanding outwards.
After decades of development, it has become a behemoth.
It is the largest city within a radius of a thousand miles.
The person who issued this commission was the president of the Sword Sect Chamber of Commerce's Yunxia City branch.
She was an elderly woman.
The old lady had little spiritual cultivation, but she possessed an excellent business acumen.
She was originally the child of a concubine in a large family.
They were suppressed by the main house.
Her mother died of poisoning, and she was abandoned.
Later, it was found by a kind-hearted charcoal-selling boy who took it home.
My parents are kind-hearted people.
Raise the girl.
After he grew up, he married the boy who had sold charcoal.
One day, an elder of the Sword Sect went on a pilgrimage and rescued the couple.
They discovered that the woman had a good business sense, so they brought her back to the chamber of commerce for training.
She was given a decent salary.
The woman lived up to expectations, working diligently in business and making the branch chamber of commerce thrive.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ten years ago, the woman's husband had an accident.
The couple had no children.
Now, only the old woman is left.
Despite his advanced age, he still stays at the Chamber of Commerce, handling a great many affairs every day.
If the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce branch were to lose her.
It's no exaggeration to say that 70% of the business could no longer continue.
"Wow, how impressive! Is our Sword Sect's merchant guild really that wealthy?"
Within the city, in the central area.
Two figures.
It was Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan who had just arrived in Yunxia City not long ago.
Two people stood in front of the Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at the huge plaque.
The waiter at the door saw that the two were beautiful and had an extraordinary air about them.
Very polite.
"Esteemed guests, is there anything you wish to purchase? Our Sword Sect Merchant Guild..."
Xu Nian didn't let this junior brother waste his breath.
I took out the jade pendant and showed it to him.
The disciple was taken aback at first, then became even more respectful, his face showing a hint of admiration.
"So it's one of our own people who's come."
Disciples from branch offices always feel a sense of kinship when they see people from the Sword Sect headquarters.
With longing.
"Disciple Jiang Xuan greets senior brothers and sisters!"
The disciple dressed in black bowed.
Xu Nian smiled, showing no airs whatsoever.
I briefly explained the situation.
Jiang Xuan realized what was happening and laughed.
"That's true, Senior Brother Xu. Actually, our Chamber of Commerce has quite a few guest elders. Although their cultivation levels are not as high as your direct disciples, they are still very powerful. Many of them are at the advanced stage of Qi Refining, and there are also Foundation Establishment cultivators. But they are all unable to deliver the goods."
Xu Nian found this strange.
He exchanged a glance with Wu Qinghuan.
Everyone felt something was wrong.
She was simply sending some things to her deceased husband's grave.
Is it really that difficult?
As if sensing his confusion, Jiang Xuan whispered, "Actually, it's a bit strange. After the president's husband passed away, he was buried in the place where they used to live, which is in the mountains. But times have changed. The place where they lived is now blocked by poisonous miasma. The only way to get there is also filled with poisonous miasma, so it's impossible to pass through. None of the guests in the guild can do anything about it, so they can only ask the sect to send someone."
Hearing this, Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan finally understood what was going on.
The effects of toxic miasma.
Poisonous gas is actually quite common in mountains.
Ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators cannot resist the poisonous gas.
Not to mention crossing a poisonous, miasma-filled land.
"What is the purpose of that poison gas?"
"Yes, I overheard the guest advisors chatting about this once, so I know about it. It seems... it can arouse desire and then cause some..."
Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He touched his head.
Xu Nian's expression began to turn strange.
He glanced at Wu Qinghuan subconsciously.
The junior sister stood there expressionless, her face perfectly calm.
"Senior brothers and sisters, we can't really say anything here. Besides, I'm just a junior disciple and don't know much. I'll ask my senior brother to take you up here."
He was a bit quick-witted, so he greeted guests at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
But in reality, his status wasn't that high.
You're not qualified to see the president.
We need to call on the senior members of the Chamber of Commerce to take these two personally taught senior brothers and sisters inside.
The junior disciple went in to report.
A tall, honest-looking young man stepped forward.
He bowed to Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan.
He said respectfully, "Please follow me, senior brothers and sisters."
Actually, in terms of age, the two people mentioned earlier seem to be a bit older than Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan.
But within sects and chambers of commerce, strength is what matters.
The stronger one is the senior brother, and the weaker one is the junior brother.
Unless there is a significant age difference between them.
He was over ninety years old and extremely old.
One is twenty or thirty.
That's not how you should call it.
The burly man led the way.
Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan followed behind.
Suddenly, the junior sister stepped back a little.
Xu Nian didn't know what she was going to do, but a bad feeling arose in her heart.
Snapped!
Xu Nian's pupils suddenly contracted, and she turned around, looking at Wu Qinghuan in shock.
This little girl!
He actually slapped his own...butt while going up the stairs?!
She is crazy!
So, this is the time to take revenge on yourself?
You little brat! You just wait!
I'll get my revenge!
You just wait! You'd better wait!
P.S.: Thank you for the gifts, everyone!
I'm so grateful!
If you urge me to update to 5,000 words, I'll update five times, totaling 10,000 words! Keep urging me to update!
I really want to update this chapter a lot! (Hands on hips) (Proud face) (Extremely disdainful)
At last…

Say the important thing three times!
