Chapter 112: Wantong Chamber of Commerce Quota

~8 min read 1,402 words

Su Chen left the tavern, already having a plan in mind.

This Wantong Chamber of Commerce sounded like it had very wild connections, actually being able to link up with the judges of the Netherworld to conduct this kind of business.

He intended to go to this Wantong Chamber of Commerce to take a look; if he could directly obtain a quota, that would be best.

His current identity as "Su San" was just a ghost cultivator who had crawled out from the Yinshan Mountain Range, with no background, but his strength was passable.

This identity was perfectly suited for negotiating business with a chamber of commerce.

Having made up his mind, Su Chen walked directly toward the Wantong Chamber of Commerce.

The base of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce was a tall building constructed entirely of massive black rocks, appearing exceptionally striking among the generally low-rise buildings of the Ghost City.

Standing at the entrance were two ghost generals clad in black armor, their auras dense and heavy; one look told him they were battle-hardened elites.

Su Chen walked over swaggeringly, and the ghost generals at the entrance reached out to block him.

"Stop! What are you here for?" one of the ghost generals looked at Su Chen, his tone cold.

Su Chen said in a hoarse voice, "I'm here to do business with your chamber of commerce. I heard you can get quotas for reincarnation in the Netherworld here?"

The ghost general looked him up and down.

"Reincarnation quota? Do you think it's Chinese cabbage, something you can buy just because you want to? Our Wantong Chamber of Commerce only trades with powerful lords."

Su Chen sneered inwardly; this habit of looking down on people was the same everywhere, even the ghosts of this Netherworld had this flaw.

He didn't waste words, and an aura far exceeding that of the two ghosts was slowly released from his body.

The expressions on the faces of the two ghost generals froze instantly.

They felt as if they were being pressed down by an invisible mountain, and even the ghost Qi within their bodies became somewhat sluggish.

They looked at Su Chen in terror; this was no wild, lonely ghost—this pressure was even more terrifying than many ghost kings they had seen!

"Now, can we speak properly?" Su Chen asked.

"My lord, spare me!"

"It is this lowly one who failed to recognize a superior and offended you, my lord!"

The two ghost generals apologized tremblingly.

Su Chen withdrew his aura and said indifferently, "I will ask one more time: are there any reincarnation quotas left? Take me to someone who can make decisions."

"Yes, yes, yes! My lord, please come inside. This lowly one will go and report to the manager for you!" One of the ghost generals bowed and scraped, leading the way in front, his attitude becoming incomparably respectful.

Su Chen followed him into the Wantong Chamber of Commerce building.

The interior decoration was even more luxurious, with some kind of glowing floor tiles laid on the ground and various rare materials hanging on the walls.

Soon, a middle-aged ghost cultivator wearing a brocade robe walked down quickly from upstairs.

He first glanced at Su Chen, then cupped his hands toward him and said politely, "This lord, I am the manager of the chamber of commerce, surnamed Liu. I heard from those below that you wish to inquire about reincarnation quotas?"

Su Chen nodded and said straight to the point, "That's right. I have a descendant in the world of the living whose lifespan has ended, but the situation is special and he wasn't escorted by ghost messengers. I want to buy a quota for him to send him into reincarnation; price is not an issue."

Manager Liu showed a troubled expression on his face, sighed, and said, "My lord, it is truly unfortunate. Our chamber of commerce only managed to get ten special quotas from the Netherworld side with great difficulty this time, but as soon as the news was released, they were already reserved by those prominent ghost kings in Yinshan. Now, there isn't a single quota left."

"Gone?" Su Chen frowned.

He didn't want to listen to this nonsense and directly raised his aura by another level.

This time, he released the pressure of a Ghost Immortal comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

All the ghost cultivators in the hall who were trading or chatting felt a sense of palpitation, all looking toward Su Chen's side in unison, their eyes filled with shock and horror.

And Manager Liu, who bore the brunt of it, felt as if his soul body was about to be torn apart by this pressure.

"Heavenly Immortal Ghost Immortal!" Manager Liu's voice changed pitch.

Heavens! When did such a great god come to Heiyuan City?

In this chaotic land of the Yinshan Mountain Range, a ghost king at the Earth Immortal level could occupy a mountain and act as a tyrant.

And a Ghost Immortal at the Heavenly Immortal level was enough to sit on equal footing with those top-tier ghost kings.

Such a high-level big shot, let alone in Heiyuan City, was among the strongest batch of ghost cultivators in the entire Yinshan area.

Su Chen looked down at him from a high position and said coldly, "I don't want to hear about what has already been reserved. I want one quota, and your chamber of commerce can figure it out yourselves. Whether you go to negotiate with those ghost kings or use other methods, I don't care. In short, I want to see a quota. If you can do it, the price won't disappoint you."

Seeing Su Chen's style, Manager Liu knew that today's matter probably wouldn't end well.

Although their Wantong Chamber of Commerce had a deep background, he couldn't make the decision to offend a Heavenly Immortal Ghost Immortal.

He bowed repeatedly to Su Chen.

"My lord, please calm your anger! This matter has already exceeded the scope of what this lowly one can decide. Please wait a moment; I will go and invite our president to meet you personally. Our president will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer to your request!"

After speaking, he didn't dare to delay any longer and turned to run upstairs, clearly going to fetch reinforcements.

Su Chen wasn't in a hurry and found a chair to sit on by himself.

After Manager Liu ran upstairs, the entire hall of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce fell into silence.

The ghost cultivators who were originally chatting now closed their mouths, cautiously using the corners of their eyes to size up the ghost cultivator sitting on the chair.

A Ghost Immortal at the Heavenly Immortal level was not often seen in Heiyuan City.

"My god, that pressure just now was definitely a Heavenly Immortal! When did such a great god come to Heiyuan City?"

"Looking at him, his face is very unfamiliar; he doesn't look like any of the famous ghost kings in Yinshan."

"Regardless of whether he is famous or not, this strength is the real deal. Look at Manager Liu's cowardly appearance; I reckon the Wantong Chamber of Commerce is going to have a headache this time."

"That's not necessarily true; the Wantong Chamber of Commerce isn't that simple. I heard that the president who sits in charge of this Heiyuan City chamber of commerce is also a Heavenly Immortal."

The ghost cultivators lowered their voices and discussed among themselves, but none dared to speak loudly, fearing they would offend Su Chen.

Su Chen turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions; he sat there, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table, waiting patiently.

He knew clearly in his heart that his move just now had provided enough pressure.

The Wantong Chamber of Commerce was in the business of making money, and harmony was their tenet.

As long as the value and threat he displayed were great enough, they would mostly choose to compromise rather than go head-to-head.

Sure enough, not long after, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

A middle-aged ghost cultivator wearing a black robe, looking refined and having quite a bit of scholarly air, walked down quickly accompanied by Manager Liu.

Su Chen's gaze fell on that middle-aged ghost cultivator; this ghost cultivator's cultivation was not weak, and he was indeed a Heavenly Immortal. ===== CHAPTER 113 =====
