Chapter 591: Chapter 385: Sales Meeting_1
The Green Phoenix Market is known for its spirit beast trading and is owned by the Liang family.
This family is most famous for rearing a spirit beast called the Qinghong Bird.
This spirit beast can carry people into flight at Rank-1, and can even transport objects as it matures.
In the Tianhe Realm, many loose cultivators dream of possessing a Qinghong Bird because it gives them the ability to fly in the sky as they perform Qi cultivation.
The Liang family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Divine Wood Sect, one is the Minister of the Spirit Beast Department, Liang Yanyou, and the other is Liang Lingzhen.
Among them, Chen Mobai has a decent relationship with Liang Lingzhen; they are both Inspection Envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall and were one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators who followed Chu Zuoshu to battle at Mountain Shaker Peak.
Liang Lingzhen also participated when the Azure Light Formation was being practised.
The current patriarch of the Liang family is named Liang Jinggui. He ranks very high in seniority, having lived for two hundred years, making him the oldest Foundation Establishment cultivator within the Jian Country. He is therefore, also known as Old Ghost Liang.
Chen Mobai naturally treats him with extreme respect, and after Liang Jinggui politely dismissed the formalities, he graciously accepted.
“Nephew Chen is indeed a young talent, as Lingzhen has previously mentioned. Today upon meeting you, it is clear that this is not an exaggeration.”
Liang Jinggui, with his white hair, spoke with a full and robust voice. He motioned, and immediately, a graceful female cultivator brought forth a spirit beast bag to Chen Mobai.
“For our first meeting, this is the Qinghong Bird from our recent Liang family’s hatching batch that has the strongest bloodline fluctuation. Consider this as a meeting gift for you, nephew.”
Chen Mobai politely thanked him, and without further delay accepted the gift.
As the spirit beast bag could not be placed in the storage bag, Chen Mobai found it inappropriate to hang it around his waist at the venue, so he handed it over to Luo Yixuan who was next to him, asking her to learn from the Liang family’s junior female cultivator on how to handle the Qinghong Bird.
Chen Mobai then discussed with Liang Jinggui about renting a shop in the Green Phoenix Market, accompanied by Liu Wenbo.
The name of the Divine Wood Sect is indeed very influential within the Jian Country. Chen Mobai, as the Town Guard in the upcoming ten years, is respected even by the Fu Family who directly serves the Ancestor, not to mention the Liang family.
“Nephew, over at Tiankui Market, there is a sales event hosted by a Star Heaven Grand Merchant Association. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there, and Wang Gongdao has invited me and others to exchange some resources like elixirs and spiritual objects. Would you like to join?”
After making rounds around the shops belonging to the Divine Wood Sect in the Green Phoenix Market and checking on the attendant disciples, Liang Jinggui proposed an idea of accompanying Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai naturally agreed, but he also mentioned that he needs to make a visit to the Guo family before setting off.
Guo family? Ever since Madam Guo mysteriously disappeared, their situation has only been deteriorating. If it wasn’t for Guo Boyear in Five Elements Sect, they might have already been wiped out by the breakers and loose cultivators.”
Liang Jinggui pays a lot of attention to the neighbours of his own family.
Chen Mobai knew that when the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was discovered, the upper echelons of the Divine Wood Sect had already considered exterminating the Guo family. If it was not for Meng Hong’s concern over the repercussions, the Guo family would have been wiped out long ago.
“Do you know the history of the Guo family?”
Chen Mobai asked Liang Jinggui, who was next to him.
“When we were still part of the Five Elements Sect years ago, Madam Guo became a Dao companion with the Guard of the Founding Nation. This guard of the Founding Nation was named Ying Chang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Earth Vein.”
“When we split off from the Five Elements Sect and took over this area of Jian Country, Ying Chang surprisingly did not leave. Instead, he joined the Wood Vein for the sake of his wife and children.”
“Later, Ying Chang represented the Divine Wood Sect on the battlefield and ran into his fellow cultivator from the Earth Vein. His rival casted a spell that was mutually destructive, killing Ying Chang. Despite dying for the Divine Wood Sect, the Guo family still owns ten shops here in the Green Phoenix Market.”
Liang Jinggui has a thorough understanding of the Guo family.
Out of the ten shops, the Guo family now only owns six, and even these six are under negotiation for transfer.
The ones who want to take over are the Liang family.
“The most valuable property of the Guo family is a jade mine that occasionally reveals some accompanying spirit stones. I recently teamed up with several other major forces in the Green Phoenix Market, to see if we can jointly take over this jade mine.”
After hearing Liang Jinggui’s words, Chen Mobai could not help but feel surprised.
“Oh, has the Guo family fallen into such poverty that they are considering selling their ancestral property?”
Chen Mobai has certainly heard about the Guo family’s jade mine. The Gold Jade Ax that he holds was made from materials derived from this mine.
Every year this mine produces some valuable Rank-3 gold jade materials. Its potential could easily last for several decades and has a value of at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.
“Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding it, the Guo family cannot hold onto such a large fortune. However, this is also Guo Boyear’s idea. By selling all of their properties in Jian Country to obtain a huge amount of spirit stones, the Guo family plans to move to the domain of the Five Elements Sect. It is not necessarily a downgrade.”
After hearing Liang Jinggui’s words, Chen Mobai’s face showed realisation.
But according to his conjecture, the Divine Wood Sect probably had a hand in accelerating this situation from behind.
Since they could not wipe out the Guo family publicly, they might use the fact that there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the place to drive out forces like the Liang family from Jian Country, then find ways to eliminate them. This is highly possible.
Simply by observing how Liang Jinggui candidly talks about annexing the Guo family’s properties in front of Chen Mobai, it’s clear that he must have received some internal signal from the Divine Wood Sect.
