Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 483 Trade
"Your Majesty, recently many primordial tribes have contacted us, wanting to trade with us. The conditions they offer are very tempting, with prices hundreds of times higher than those in our domestic markets. Should we open trade with them?"

Baili Fei was extremely anxious about this matter.

Such a high price is truly a rare opportunity, and also a chance for peaceful plunder of resources. After all, the resources produced by the Great Yu can be repeatedly produced, while those of the Primordial Clan can be directly exchanged for them using Immortal Crystals or other raw materials.

Given some time, the Great Yu can accumulate enormous resources. With the population now growing, the Great Yu is under tremendous pressure. The imperial court receives the lion's share of the revenue from secret realms and academies, while the common people directly enjoy the benefits.

Putting everything else aside, the amount of supplies needed by the academy in a year is a terrifying figure.

Although the Great Yu doesn't need to worry about these resources now, and they are enough for the time being, no one thinks they have too many supplies.

Therefore, obtaining more resources is absolutely crucial for Baili Fei.

After all, his responsibility was the operation and storage of supplies for the Great Yu Kingdom.

Lu Ming glanced at him and said, "You've gotten even fatter these past few days. Trade is fine, but only resources needed by those below the Holy Emperor level can be traded."

This is very important, because once you reach the Saint Emperor realm, you are definitely a strategic resource, and no force would sell such a resource to outsiders.

Only humans themselves can circulate it.

Moreover, the quantity is very small.

There are already quite a few top-tier families in Dayu, after so many years of accumulation and absorption.

There are a great many.

There are at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, and that doesn't even include the medium-sized and small families.

However, no family or power possesses a warship capable of fighting against Saint Emperors. Even the Imperial Court only releases a limited number of pills each year, granting them based on the contributions of these families.

Moreover, the controls are very strict.

Occasionally, a batch of these pills would circulate, and each time it would cause a huge sensation at major auction houses.

Baili Fei nodded and immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then, at the other party's signal, he carefully retreated and left.

Yinyue followed Lu Ming into the palace.

At this moment, in the inner palace, Li Xirou and the others, knowing that Lu Ming had returned, were already waiting outside his bedchamber.

When he saw Lu Ming and Yin Yue, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Then he stepped forward and said, "You're finally back."

Yun Jin stepped forward and said, "I've prepared a lot of your favorite dishes, please have a taste."

Her voice was very soft and gentle.

Since marrying Lu Ming, she has no need to worry about anything.

Yun Jin's personality became increasingly gentle.

Moreover, I also learned how to cook a lot of delicious food.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, then let's try your cooking."

After he finished speaking, he entered the palace. Just as he stepped inside...

The table was already laden with all sorts of delicious food, and an enticing aroma filled the air.

Lu Ming was very satisfied with the smell.

Then he sat down.

After the female official in green had filled all the wine cups on the table, Yu Muyun said softly.

"There shouldn't be any more problems after you come back this time, right?"

She used to be the Empress of the Great Yu Dynasty, but now that she has handed over all matters to Lu Ming, she looks much more radiant.

She has become even more beautiful, sitting there looking radiant and captivating.

"It should be alright now," Lu Ming said with a smile. The battle between the Golden Spirit Clan has stabilized. The Great Yu's array masters have also become famous throughout the Primordial Chaos.

It should be noted that the Golden Light Array of the Golden Spirit Clan is very famous among all the clans.

It's definitely one of the most powerful protective formations.

That was also their foundation, but now it has been cracked by the Great Yu.

How could anyone not be alarmed by such a thing?

Doesn't this mean that the formations of other races might also be broken by the Great Yu? Therefore, many people are even more wary of it.

Now, with its increased strength, the Great Yu has been unconsciously placed on the same level as the Primordial Clan in the Hongmeng world.

Putting everything else aside, their resource base is now unmatched by any other primordial race.

Then there's the formation, which far surpasses that of the major primordial clans.

The only thing missing now is a top-tier expert. Although Lu Ming can rival the Holy Ancestor, his combat power is terrifyingly strong.

However, his subordinates have not yet reached the level of the Holy Ancestor.

Even he himself is not one.

Therefore, this is the biggest weakness.

However, Lu Ming believes that this will be made up for soon.

The experts from the various families who have joined the Great Yu Kingdom are still very promising.

The reason my cultivation level had remained at the Saint Emperor realm was due to a lack of sufficient resources, but things are different now.

After Dayu had enough resources.

This is enough to allow them to break through their cultivation level in a very short time.

He might even be faster than Lu Ming.

After all, his cultivation time was only a little over 100,000 years.

In the cultivation world, he is probably still considered to be among the younger generation.

As for those family heads and clan elders, their cultivation time is probably calculated in hundreds of millions of years.

Such strength is truly terrifying.

Over the years, they have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience in cultivation.

At this moment, Yu Muyun said, "Since there's nothing else, why don't you accompany us for a walk around the territory of Dayu? Dayu has grown to its current state, but we, living in the deep palace, know nothing about it."

"Since you're back now, how about we give it a try?"

As she spoke, the other women couldn't help but turn their gazes toward her.

Over the years, they had only heard about how Dayu was doing and how it was developing, but they had never actually seen it themselves.

The mysterious and vast Dragon Palace, the dark and treacherous Underworld, and the chaotic and bloody Netherworld Blood Sea—these were all things that greatly intrigued the women.

These mysterious places, in particular, have now become forbidden areas for humans.

Even people like Wu Han and Baili Fei wouldn't be given any face by the people from these three places; they would only obey Lu Ming's orders.

This adds to their mystique.

Seeing the women's gazes, Lu Ming, who had originally planned to start cultivating after returning, could only smile wryly and say, "Alright, then you pack your things, and we'll set off in three days."

In fact, Lu Ming has been engaged in foreign wars for many years and has not paid attention to things within the Great Yu territory for a long time. This is a good opportunity.

Therefore, there was no refusal.

On the contrary, I'm actually looking forward to it.
