Chapter 344: Immortal Treasure

"Your Lord Song has gone out?"

Li Rui was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Master went out of the city early this morning."

One of Song Shi's subordinates said.

"Thank you."

Li Rui cupped his hands and then walked down from the third floor of Huacai Residence.

Today.

He had originally thought about finding Song Shi to report on the progress of the investigation during this period, but unfortunately, Song Shi had gone out of the city.

'He is a diligent person.'

A dignified young master of the Song family, yet so active.

Even letting his subordinates watch the house while he went out to do it himself.

One has to praise him.

He also roughly guessed why Song Shi had to do this.

Because the rewards of the Secret Guard were truly generous, so much so that even someone from a big family like Song Shi would feel jealous.

Of course.

It was also very difficult for the Secret Guard to perform meritorious service.

That was a Fallen Immortal.

Even if a "Fallen" was added in front, having fallen into the mortal world, it wasn't an existence that ordinary people could touch.

Jiang Linxian had introduced it long ago.

The Secret Guard had been established for decades, and they had only handled two Fallen Immortals; every time a Fallen Immortal case appeared, it would cause a huge uproar in the Yu Kingdom.

The reason why people in the world rarely knew about it was just that the big hand of the Yu Kingdom's imperial court was trying its best to suppress it.

Fallen Immortals were very strong, so even for the Emperor, the requirement for the Secret Guard was mainly observation.

Song Shi was very lucky.

Eight years ago, he had participated once, and because of that, his status in the Song family rose sharply, and he even had the possibility of competing for the position of family head.

Having tasted the sweetness.

When the opportunity appeared again, how could he let it go?

If it weren't for that Fallen Immortal opportunity, Song Shi wouldn't have had any possibility of stepping into the Primordial Realm now.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

'Such a superior is very good.'

Song Shi went out himself and didn't need him, the only subordinate of the Secret Guard in Qinghe City, to take action.

He should indeed say a word of thanks.

The water in the Purple Chai Jingong was very deep, and he had no interest in touching it.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to practice martial arts with peace of mind?

Li Rui had just walked out of Huacai Building when he saw an acquaintance walking towards him.

"Lord Li, we meet again."

Lin Wan bowed to Li Rui gracefully.

Li Rui didn't expect it to be such a coincidence and laughed: "Niece Lin, do you live here?"

Lin Wan shook her head:

"I have an elder living here, and hearing the news, I specially came to visit."

Li Rui: "Is that elder surnamed Song?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan immediately showed a surprised expression.

She had thought Li Rui's intelligence ability far exceeded expectations, and her speaking speed accelerated a bit: "How did Senior know?"

Li Rui had the appearance of having everything under control:

"Niece Lin, don't go up. Lord Song has gone out of the city and is afraid he will return late."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan was somewhat disappointed:

"Thank you, Senior."

As the daughter of a merchant family, building good relationships was a necessary skill for her.

The foundation of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce was in the capital, and as a big family in the capital, the Song family naturally had great value for building a relationship.

So as soon as she heard Song Shi had come to Qinghe, she tried every possible way to inquire and specially came to visit today.

Her expression quickly returned to normal: "Senior, I haven't told you yet, Brother Liu wants to communicate with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. Has he mentioned it to you?"

The last time was their first meeting.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to talk about business in a rush upon meeting.

Not to mention the low success rate, in her view, it was also rude.

Today was a coincidence.

She also didn't mention business at all, but used Liu Tong as a lead, only saying to communicate with each other.

Adding Liu Tong as a middleman, it wasn't that abrupt.

And since Liu Tong had proposed it first, she was now just giving a well-intentioned reminder.

Li Rui had a good impression of this intelligent woman before him, and he chuckled: "Niece Lin, you juniors can decide these things yourselves; I won't interfere."

Hearing this.

Joy appeared on Lin Wan's eyebrows.

How could she not hear that Li Rui was agreeing to the Tiandi Alliance doing business with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce?

"For big things, we still need experienced people like Senior to keep an eye on us."

She said it so humbly.

Li Rui chuckled:

"There is one thing, Niece Lin can discuss with Vice President Lin after returning."

Lin Wan was still surprised about what matter would disturb her father, the Vice President, when Li Rui said it out: "The Tiandi Alliance wants to establish a chamber of commerce. If your chamber of commerce is willing, we can do business together."

While speaking, he took out a black mysterious iron token from his bosom.

When seeing that token.

Lin Wan's pupils contracted slightly.

"Black Dragon Token!"

She was born into a big family, but unlike other families, the Lin family was a merchant family.

The Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce had existed for as many years as the Lin family had been prosperous.

Merchant families had their unique ways of cultivating future generations; their martial arts might not be good, their literary talent might not be excellent, but they must have sufficient knowledge.

Lin Wan was influenced by what she saw and heard.

Her knowledge wasn't something ordinary people could compare to.

Naturally, she saw at a glance that what Li Rui held was the Black Dragon Token of the Witch Kingdom's imperial family.

'It is rumored that this Lord Li has a good relationship with the Witch Kingdom; I didn't expect him to have a friendship with the Witch Kingdom's imperial family.'

She understood the weight of this Black Dragon Token too well.

In the Witch Kingdom, only core imperial family members were qualified to possess this token.

Placed in the Yu Kingdom.

It was estimated that only a few legitimate imperial princes could have this treatment; illegitimate princes couldn't.

With this Black Dragon Token, plus the means of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce... business opportunities, huge business opportunities!

Lin Wan's mind was very active.

She immediately smelled an opportunity from this Black Dragon Token. The Witch Kingdom was a big country; if there was a relationship with the imperial family, the business could be done extremely large, and the profits would make even the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce tempted.

Once she facilitated this matter, it would be a sky-high merit.

At that time, not only herself, but even her father might see his prestige rise greatly.

The current President of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce was very old.

If a world-shaking merit was established at this juncture... the position of President was in sight!

Lin Wan forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart and barely maintained her composure on the surface: "Uncle Li, I will discuss this matter with my father properly."

"Don't worry, it won't be too long."

Li Rui nodded indifferently: "No matter, I'm not in a hurry."

If Lin Wan had agreed directly now, he would instead look down on this woman before him a bit.

Although he wouldn't give up the cooperation with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, he would also find a way to make the Vice President of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce change to a more capable person.

(Content omitted)

After finishing.

He walked towards the street with large strides and left gracefully.

'Young after all.'

Li Rui smiled.

Lin Wan's performance was already very good, but some things were ultimately due to too little experience, especially big opportunities and big crises; only after experiencing them could one possibly be calm.

This thing changed with the change of status.

Just like when Li Rui was a groom, raising a horse well and receiving praise from the Zhu family, and being promoted to a real groom.

For him, that was already a fortune greater than heaven.

After experiencing more, he became indifferent.

Li Rui actually had the idea of establishing a chamber of commerce long ago.

The Tiandi Alliance was ultimately too weak; even if it were just him, it was impossible to support the Tiandi Alliance into a big sect, so it was better to retreat and choose the next best thing, opening a door to do business.

Anyway, what he sought was longevity; what kind of ten-thousand-generation big sect didn't matter at all.

As long as there was money.

Doing business with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce was just right to bring the effect of the Black Dragon Token given by the Third Princess into full play.

And the Black Dragon Token was the key to this business.

As long as the Black Dragon Token was in his hands, he held the lifeline of the business.

Still the same sentence, grasp the big and let go of the small.

He had always been good at grasping the key.

As for the details, they were naturally handed over to Liang He and Liu Tong, his two proud disciples.

Young people, they need more training.

Unlike him, getting old, so he was suitable for picking up ready-made things.

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

A mountain valley.

Majestic buildings stood quietly, like a vicious dragon choosing people to devour, opening its big mouth, ready to swallow anyone who entered at any time.

Looking from afar.

One could see people moving in those buildings.

Song Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had received news from Commander Yang and had thus tracked the Fallen Immortal here. Moreover, according to his understanding, this time it was highly likely to be like the last time, and the imperial court might have moved to kill this Fallen Immortal.

It would be a great merit.

And all of this was hidden in the palace not far away.

"I want to see what mysteries this Purple Chai Jingong has."

The thought arose.

He took out an orange-yellow talisman drawn with cinnabar from his bosom.

Not bad, he was a rare member of the Talisman Sect.

And he was a genius in the way of talismans.

Although he wasn't good at frontal killing, it had infinite wonderful uses.

Just like the Divine Concealment Talisman in his hand, it was made with the secret mantra Divine Concealment Technique and had the function of concealing one's figure.

It was precisely because of this means.

That he could be valued by Commander Yang of the Secret Guard, recruited into the Secret Guard to become a Seeking Mountain Envoy, and later became a Ding Mountain Envoy.

This Divine Concealment Talisman had helped him perform meritorious service repeatedly.

Song Shi stuck the talisman on his body.

The next instant.

His figure became erratic, his speed under his feet became strangely fast, turning into a phantom.

In just a split second.

He swept to the front of the huge building complex.

Song Shi didn't take the main road, as there were Primordial martial artists there, but chose a remote corner.

The city wall of the Purple Chai Jingong was over several dozen zhang high.

Ordinary martial artists couldn't get up at all, and there were archers and sentries guarding above, so it could be said that not even a flying bird could enter.

However, these weren't problems for Song Shi.

His whole body was like a gecko, his toes seemingly able to stick to the wall, climbing up at high speed.

In the blink of an eye.

He had already climbed several dozen zhang and crossed the city wall.

His speed was frighteningly fast.

The guards on the city wall almost reacted, but he flashed past behind them with peerless speed, almost without any perception.

All of this was naturally planned by him in advance.

He had been sleeping in the open in the mountains for these few days, using the Spiritual Sense Talisman to increase his eyesight, and had long since figured out the defense situation on the city wall from several miles away, which was why he could enter the interior of the Purple Chai Jingong so easily.

Having been in the Secret Guard for so many years, his experience wasn't small.

These things naturally came easily to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been kept by Commander Yang.

A moment later.

He arrived deep in the Purple Chai Jingong.

"I want to see what secrets this Purple Chai Jingong is hiding... whether there is really a Fallen Immortal."

A burst of heat in his heart.

If there really was a Fallen Immortal, perhaps he could leap into the top three ranks with this.

But just as he was preparing to go deeper—

A golden light suddenly lit up on the horizon.

A small golden pagoda as dazzling as the sun flew out rapidly from not far away.

Song Shi saw that small pagoda, and his pupils contracted violently.

"This is... an Immortal Treasure?!"
