Chapter 518: Commercial Membership in the World of Immortality

Huo Ling Cheng is not too far from the Clear Water Sect's sect. If it truly erupts, Huo Ling Cheng will likely also be affected. Su Fan does not want to be conscripted in the city and fight a great battle with demonic cultivators when the time comes.

This Wu State has nothing to do with him; he has no thoughts of putting in effort.

So he is also investigating this Dongying City. Dongying City is very far from Huo Ling Cheng, fully ten million miles away. He and Golden Light did not fly here, but directly took a teleportation array.

Once he finishes the investigation, if it is suitable, then Lin Wei and the others will also have to take the teleportation array over.

If he feels something is wrong, he might even have to go further south.

Golden Light took Su Fan and walked through Dongying City almost entirely.

During this period, they also went to many shops and the stations of chambers of commerce, inquiring about the treasure for opening the Purple Mansion, Profound Yang Warm Jade. Indeed, only the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce had one available for sale.

As for other things like Profound Yin Jade Marrow, some chambers of commerce had them. On the third day, Su Fan came to the station of the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, a massive building fully seven stories high, occupying an area of several dozen mu.

"This guest, please go upstairs."

Just as Su Fan walked into the gate of the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, there was a waiter who saw Su Fan and invited him forward respectfully.

"Oh! Why go upstairs? Is the first floor not okay?"

"Returning to the Senior, the first floor is all for Qi Refining cultivators, with a small amount of items suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators. You, Senior, should not look down on these things."

"Oh! Can you see my cultivation?"

Su Fan was somewhat curious; this waiter was only at the Qi Refining ninth layer.

"Senior is joking. How could I see Senior's cultivation? It is our Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce; there is a jade plate here that can perceive Senior's strength."

"So that's how it is."

Su Fan understood instantly, taking a look at that jade plate—a type of artifact specifically for probing cultivation.

However, this type of artifact is extremely precious; ordinary forces simply cannot possess it, and even the Yunyang Sect does not have it.

This Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce actually placed this thing in a station in a market; clearly, this gadget is not too precious in the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce.

Wealthy and imposing.

Su Fan thought secretly.

"Is the second floor for Purple Mansion cultivators?"

"Senior is a Purple Mansion cultivator, so most of the things should be on the third floor."

"Oh! Is that so? Then does your esteemed chamber have Profound Yang Warm Jade?"

"I need a piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade. Does your esteemed chamber have it?"

Su Fan followed the waiter up a staircase and then asked with a smile.

"Profound Yang Warm Jade!"

The waiter was stunned. "Senior, this is not within my scope. I need to go and invite a deacon to receive you, Senior."

The waiter hadn't expected Su Fan to need this thing; its value exceeded fifty thousand, which was simply not something he could participate in.

So he hurriedly bowed and said.

"Hmm! Then go find someone who can make a decision."

This waiter was also a clever person; he brought Su Fan to a private room on the third floor and then left quickly.

Su Fan examined the private room. It was not big, but the surroundings seemed to have been placed under a restriction to prevent outsiders from peeking or eavesdropping.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist needs Profound Yang Warm Jade. How should I address you?"

Before long, a black-robed cultivator walked outside the private room, with a bronze token hanging from his waist, displaying the word "Deacon."

In Su Fan's perception, this person's cultivation had reached the Purple Mansion eighth layer. A deacon had the cultivation of the Purple Mansion eighth layer; clearly, this Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce's strength was extremely powerful.

"I am Li Feiyu."

"How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"

"No need for formalities, my surname is Li."

"So it is Fellow Li Daoyou."

"I do indeed need a piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade. Does your esteemed chamber have Profound Yang Warm Jade?"

Su Fan looked at this person and asked.

Li Ke looked at Su Fan and fell into silence. The Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce naturally had Profound Yang Warm Jade; their branch in Dongying City happened to have one that had not yet been sold.

However, this thing was a hot-selling item and was never worried about being sold. The Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce naturally would have choices about when to sell it.

Previously, quite a few immortal cultivation families near Dongying City had come over, wanting to purchase this piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade.

However, the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce had not agreed and was still choosing.

"This Fellow Li Daoyou, I will tell you the truth. Our chamber's branch in this place does indeed have a piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade and also wishes to sell it."

"But our chamber generally sells similar treasures with selectivity."

Li Ke looked at Su Fan. Before coming over, the waiter below had told him that the person who came was a Purple Mansion cultivator.

He came over and indeed perceived the opponent's cultivation reached the Purple Mansion stage, but he just used the Spirit Eye Technique to secretly observe, and he was actually unable to determine the opponent's specific cultivation.

This made him feel solemn in his heart. He was Purple Mansion eighth layer and couldn't determine the opponent's cultivation; either the opponent had treasures on them to block probing, or the opponent's cultivation was higher than his own.

He was more inclined to believe the latter. After all, the former—such treasures are even harder to come by.

If it were the former, the opponent likely didn't have a small amount of strength behind them. As for being a loose cultivator, the possibility was very small. He could perceive the magic power in the opponent's body, which was very restrained, and the aura emitted from the whole body did not resemble that of a loose cultivator background.

Loose cultivators and family disciples—they who have seen all kinds of people can all distinguish them.

"Then I don't know what kind of conditions are needed to be able to buy this piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade from your esteemed chamber?"

Su Fan instantly understood the opponent's meaning. The Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, a commercial organization. Generally speaking, buying and selling immortal cultivation items—ordinary ones—would not set any conditions.

But some precious items are different. If it were any force, they would set some conditions.

Spirit stones are sometimes useful, but for a large commercial organization like the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce, fifty thousand spirit stones really don't count for much.

If they could use this to exchange for greater benefits, wouldn't that be even better?

Before Su Fan came, he had already made psychological preparations.

Li Ke heard Su Fan's words, and his face immediately smiled. The opponent clearly understood his meaning.

Indeed, for some spirit pills needed by the Purple Mansion, their chamber would not require too much, and any cultivator could purchase them.

But treasures like Profound Yang Warm Jade, which can open the Purple Mansion, are all considered strategic treasures and will set certain purchase conditions.

"Fellow Li Daoyou, our chamber faces purchasers and generally sets up a membership, divided into four levels: gold, silver, copper, and iron. Ordinary cultivators only need to purchase items from the chamber once to become an iron-level member."

"Copper-level members are those who spend over ten thousand spirit stones in the chamber..."

"The higher the membership level, the higher the priority level for purchasing items in our chamber."

Li Ke first explained.

Su Fan heard this and understood instantly. Looking at Li Ke, his expression also changed somewhat. This world of immortality actually played commerce to such a level; it was no worse than those businesses on Earth in later generations.

Clearly, in the world of immortality, as long as there are benefits, they will try every means to increase the benefits of the chamber of commerce. ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
