Chapter 14: The Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce

  Old Moon is indiscriminately asking for votes and collections. Those who have tickets, please vote, and those who haven't collected yet, please collect first. Thank you!

  The entire city of Jinyang is under martial law, only allowing entry but not exit. Troops of Jinyang Fu guards are searching the whole city for someone, causing a huge commotion.

  There were also countless portraits posted on the surrounding walls, and the person in the portrait was a young man who looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old, with clear eyebrows and eyes, but with a hint of cunning in his lively eyes. This portrait was painted extremely vividly, capturing the young man's expression and demeanor, and it was obvious that a master painter had been invited to create it.

  The person in the portrait is exactly the one that Jin Yang Fu wants to arrest. Whoever catches or provides clues about him will receive a large reward from Jin Yang Fu, so everyone in Jin Yang City is discussing what kind of person is in the portrait and how he could provoke such a big commotion from the master of Jin Yang Fu.

  In the crowd, a scar-faced man glanced at the portrait and hastily walked into a quiet alley, mysteriously disappearing without a trace, and it was unknown which courtyard he entered.

  "Whoosh"

  A gaunt figure entered a seemingly still tidy courtyard, with a terrifying scar on his face.

  The man with a somewhat frightening appearance gently rubbed his face and immediately removed the human skin mask, revealing a clear and slightly cunning face, which was exactly the same as the wanted portrait outside.

  "Good guy, wanted all over the city, and only allowed in but not out. It seems that Jin Yang Fu will not let go easily!"

  This man was none other than Yang Yi, who had been hiding in plain sight. He had peeled off five human skin masks from the face of a scar-faced man, and now they were coming in handy. Every day, he would change his appearance to gather information within the city, but the more he heard, the more terrified he became.

  "Hmph, today is the last day, and there's only one last drop of essence left. If I can refine it but still can't break through to the fourth stage of Blood Condensation, then there's only one way out. Otherwise, I'll just be waiting for death, and sooner or later, people from the Golden Sun Prefecture will find me!"

  A hint of melancholy flashed across Yang Yi's face, he didn't believe that relying solely on these five human skin masks would allow him to be carefree forever. The cunning and treacherous Bai Bian San Guai was discovered by the people of Jin Yang Fu, let alone Yang Yi.

  Yang Yi was still working hard to refine the essence of the Blood Condensation Fourth Order guard, and today he had only one drop left. If he could successfully break through to the Blood Condensation Fourth Order after refining it, then he would carefully plan and force his way out of the city. At that time, with Yang Yi's strength, he might still be able to withstand the master of the Golden Sun Palace.

  The master of Jinyang Prefecture, who had condensed his blood to the fifth level, was a terrifying existence. Yang Yi's current cultivation was not enough, and even if he could kill a fourth-level condensed-blood expert, compared to a fifth-level condensed-blood expert, it was still worlds apart.

  Yang Yi took out a jade bottle from his bosom, poured out the last drop of essence blood from it, and instantly absorbed it into his body, transforming it into the purest blood power, constantly impacting the blood vessels, breaking through the blood vessels on his arm, gathering blood in the vessels, making the power in his hand even stronger.

  "Humming"

  Yang Yi's blood was constantly churning, and with each drop of refined essence, his blood power grew wildly. However, advancing from the third to the fourth stage of Blood Coagulation was a critical juncture in cultivation that wasn't easily broken through.

  "Call"

  Yang let out a light breath and slightly opened his eyes, with a hint of loss flickering in them.

  "It's still a bit short, the accumulation is not enough. If I had ten more drops or twenty drops of the essence of a Fourth-Order master, breaking through to the Fourth Order would be effortless!"

  Yang Yi slightly shook his head. He had already refined the fourth drop of essence blood, but still couldn't break through to the fourth stage.

  "It seems that I have no choice but to resort to the last measure. You've pushed me to this point, humph! If I can't get what I want, then you won't get it either!"

  Yang had already concocted a plan in his mind, one that wasn't perfect but was absolutely crazy, and might just stir up an unimaginable storm in Jinyang City.

  Having made up his mind, Yang Yi took out a human skin mask from his bosom and put it on his face. A moment later, the originally somewhat handsome Yang Yi instantly turned into a yellow-faced youth.

  Yang Yi looked at his reflection in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, and then used a black cloth to hide the Moonfall Bow on his back before walking straight out of the courtyard.

  In the Jin city, from time to time, a large team of guards can be seen patrolling continuously. After seeing Yang's disguised appearance, they no longer linger.

  Yang Yi's expression remained unchanged as he walked straight towards a magnificent hall with an imposing atmosphere, on which was written: Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

  This Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce is a trading organization that deals in all sorts of materials, elixirs, martial skills and techniques. Yang Yi had specifically inquired about it recently and found out that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce was incredibly vast, covering almost the entire world, with branches in every province. Even the Cave Masters didn't dare to provoke them, and even the ruler of the world, Huilong Palace, wouldn't easily antagonize the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

  Yang Yi couldn't find out what kind of power the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce had that even the Huálóng Palace was afraid of, but this didn't hinder his plan. He only needed to know that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce was a transcendent and powerful chamber beyond ordinary ones.

  Yang Yi walked straight into the Wàn Xiàng Shāng Huì, and as soon as he entered, he felt a bright light in front of him. The entire hall was filled with all sorts of goods, including precious medicinal herbs and materials, as well as many complete martial arts techniques and spells, although they were of low quality, but they were complete, which was rare and valuable.

  It is said that many masters like to plunder others' essence and blood for cultivation, just like Yang Yi, which has led to countless killings, making many martial arts and techniques incomplete. It is extremely difficult to obtain a complete set of martial arts and techniques.

  However, Yang Yi's interest was not in this, and after glancing at it briefly, he felt a sense of disappointment.

  At this time, a palace-dressed woman walked over lightly from within the Chamber of Commerce and said softly: "This Taoist friend, are these goods not to your liking or do you have other requirements? As long as you can say it out loud, our Chamber of Commerce will be able to satisfy them!"

  This palace-style woman, although somewhat disheveled, exuded confidence all over her body, and whatever goods she had were satisfactory, a testament to the grandeur of this Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

  Yang Yi slightly shook his head and said: "I'm not here to buy things, but to sell them. I don't know if your Chamber of Commerce dares to accept?"

  The woman in palace attire flashed a hint of sharpness in her eyes as she carefully observed and listened, clearly hearing Yang Yi say "dare not to accept?"

  The woman in the palace attire smiled slightly, but her expression was full of confidence. She said softly, "Our Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce has a strong financial resources, no matter what kind of precious treasure it is, we can afford to buy it. If you have something good, please show me and I'll take a look!"

  Yang furrowed his brow and said: "This thing is extremely valuable, can you make the decision?"

  Although Yang Yi's words were quite impolite, the woman in palace attire did not show any unusual expression, but instead slightly sized up Yang Yi from head to toe, and with a confident tone said: "Please be at ease, fellow Taoist, here, this humble girl can still call some shots, if you have something good, feel free to bring it out!"

  The woman's tone was polite, but her demeanor was full of arrogance, as if she, the receptionist of this grand commercial house, had seen countless people like Yang and thought herself superior. With some cultivation, she could obtain good things, so she put on an air of superiority, not realizing that many things that were precious outside were merely ordinary goods in the eyes of the Grand Commercial House.

  It's clear that the woman in palace attire also put Yang Yi into this category of people.

  Yang Yi didn't get angry, he naturally saw the disdain in the woman's tone, but he was too lazy to care and didn't mind that there were many people around. He simply pulled out a five-colored inlaid dragon token from his pocket and threw it directly onto the table, making a "ding-dong" sound.

  "Since you said you can handle it, then give this thing a price!"

  Yang Yi's voice caught the attention of some monks on the side, who were originally curious about what good things Yang Yi had that made him so arrogant. But after seeing the token on the table, everyone gasped in unison, their faces filled with disbelieving expressions.
