279: The Treasure Pavilion's Decision","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-279",279,"\u003Cp>In Xingluozhou, the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than twenty figures gathered together; the one at the head was an old man with white beard and hair, currently sitting with his eyes closed, resting his spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were all without exception at the Soul Transformation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly promoted Grand Elder Bai Qing'an was among them, yet his seat was at the very end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Treasure Pavilion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>any Venerable who breaks through to the Soul Transformation realm can directly advance to become a Grand Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, among the many Grand Elders,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the three who hold supreme authority are the First Grand Elder Gu Daoxu, the Second Grand Elder Wang Mian'an, and the Third Grand Elder Chen Xuandao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Mian'an appears middle-aged, with an ordinary face, dressed in a black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuandao is also middle-aged, but his appearance is extraordinarily handsome, wearing a white robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hundreds of years of development, the fame of Dongxuan City has spread thoroughly throughout Xingluozhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ye Qingxuan backed by the Xuantian Sect and the channels established by his Tianfu shops,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>over these hundreds of years, the various tiers of goods under Ye Qingxuan's Dongxuan City have never run out of stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can continuously supply him with a large quantity of items below the sixth tier at low cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three, Gu Daoxu, Wang Mian'an, and Chen Xuandao, all possess cultivation bases at the late stage of the Soul Transformation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-bearded and white-haired leader at the head is the First Grand Elder of the Treasure Pavilion, Gu Daoxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the level of Xingluozhou, even if the Treasure Pavilion does not lack raw materials, the cost of manufacturing finished products would be much higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suggest we cut through the tangle with a swift blade and annihilate Dongxuan City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the truly major decisions of the Treasure Pavilion are still led by the three: Gu Daoxu, Wang Mian'an, and Chen Xuandao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other Grand Elders of the Treasure Pavilion, they mostly possess cultivation bases at the early or middle stages of the Soul Transformation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, most cities in Xingluozhou have already established teleportation arrays connecting with Dongxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Gu Daoxu's voice fell, Wang Mian'an eagerly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators are willing to travel to Dongxuan City to purchase the cultivation supplies they need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these Grand Elders also hold supreme power within the Treasure Pavilion during normal times,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at this moment, Gu Daoxu slightly opened his eyes and said indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, nowadays the fame of Dongxuan City in Xingluozhou is growing and has begun to slowly affect our Treasure Pavilion's business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Treasure Pavilion is a local power in Xingluozhou of the Dongji Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this continues, Dongxuan City will inevitably become our great enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, within Dongxuan City, not only are the goods complete, but the prices are also extremely favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is just that Gu Daoxu has the longest seniority and a slightly deeper cultivation base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak your views on Dongxuan City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, the Treasure Pavilion lost quite a few fourth and fifth-tier customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current revenue of the Treasure Pavilion has already dropped by a full one-fifth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were not for the limitations of Dongxuan City itself, combined with the Treasure Pavilion opening many branch pavilions in major cities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the revenue of the Treasure Pavilion would have dropped even lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, the existence of Dongxuan City has already greatly affected the development of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the sixth-tier auction about to be held in Dongxuan City will surely elevate the prestige of Dongxuan City to another level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the position of the Treasure Pavilion in Xingluozhou will truly be in grave danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words of the Second Grand Elder Wang Mian'an, the other Grand Elders of the Treasure Pavilion also fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Qing'an, sitting at the end, wore a complex expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that Dongxuan City would develop so rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Qing'an was able to break through to the Soul Transformation realm so quickly thanks to the Enlightenment Pills sold to him by Dongxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all rights, he should be grateful to Dongxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the attitude of the City Lord of Dongxuan City towards him back then made him harbor a trace of hatred for Dongxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, obtaining the Enlightenment Pills was a transaction between him and Dongxuan City; he owed Dongxuan City nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Bai Qing'an's face slowly returned to calm, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone silently nodded, implicitly accepting the Second Grand Elder's proposal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Third Grand Elder Chen Xuandao suddenly spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Treasure Pavilion is a neutral force; rashly attacking and annihilating a faction seems inappropriate, does it not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Chen Xuandao's words, some of the Grand Elders of the Treasure Pavilion showed hesitation on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Mian'an stared at Chen Xuandao and said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Chen, when you secretly led people to annihilate the Zhou family back then, how did you forget that our Treasure Pavilion is a neutral force?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chen Xuandao's expression changed, and he fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had a blood feud with the Zhou family and there was a reason for annihilating them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>back then, when he annihilated the Zhou family, he indeed borrowed the power of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point, he could not refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Chen Xuandao spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dongxuan City can offer sixth-tier supreme talismans, sixth-tier supreme array disks, and supreme spiritual artifacts for auction; its underlying power must be extraordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not wish for the Treasure Pavilion to suffer excessive losses to its foundation; I hope you will act with caution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuandao's words were not without merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after hearing his final words, the others fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a single Grade Six supreme talisman was enough to pose a fatal threat to most present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having cultivated so hard to reach the Soul Transformation realm, none of them wished to perish so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the others waver, Wang Mian spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although we do not know what channels Dongxuan City possesses to obtain Grade Six supreme talismans, formation discs, and supreme magic treasures,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"after years of investigation, we know there are at most three Soul Transformation experts within Dongxuan City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the strongest among them, the City Lord of Dongxuan City, possesses only early-stage Soul Transformation cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the great city-defending formation of Dongxuan City is merely at the Grade Six mid-tier level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This proves that Dongxuan City's own strength and foundation are not as formidable as we imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Wang Mian had been monitoring Dongxuan City for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even factored in the Grade Six puppets they had revealed and the city-defending formation they had deployed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Wang Mian continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if Dongxuan City's experts have broken through their cultivation in recent years, the strongest among them can be at most at the mid-stage Soul Transformation realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the foundation of our Treasure Pavilion, seizing Dongxuan City should not be difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once we seize Dongxuan City, perhaps our Treasure Pavilion can replace them, acquire their channels, and ascend to the next level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Wang Mian looked at Gu Daoxu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, Grand Pavilion Master, make the decision!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Mian had grown up within the Treasure Pavilion since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never allow any existence to threaten the status of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Second Supreme Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, he knew others' opinions were secondary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly mattered was the stance of the Grand Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, Gu Daoxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after finishing his speech, he directly urged Gu Daoxu to make a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that as the most senior member of the Treasure Pavilion, Gu Daoxu would absolutely agree with his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after hearing Wang Mian's words, Gu Daoxu slowly nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, let us destroy Dongxuan City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this
