If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 254 The competition within our Tianxu Tower is very fierce!
Zhuozhou.

In order to avoid danger, Shen Ziqing did not rush to Zhuozhou, but walked slowly with the mentality of sightseeing, so it took him more than a month to reach Zhuozhou.

However, Shen Ziqing was not really traveling during this month, he also collected a lot of useful information.

When Shen Ziqing heard about what happened in Meizhou, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Ancient monk...?"

Zhou Yi, who was sitting opposite Shen Ziqing, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Shen, do you know that ancient cultivator?"

"Who knows? There are so many wonders in this world. Maybe there is an ancient cultivator among the people I know."

Shen Ziqing laughed, and his noncommittal attitude caused Zhou Yi to make a series of guesses.

At present, the Taoist sect has speculated that the history of Tianxu Tower is definitely not less than that of Dayu, and may even be older than Dayu, and it was transformed from an ancient sect. Otherwise, Tianxu Tower would never be hidden so deeply.

However, which ancient sect it evolved from is not something that these first-rate sects can figure out.

As for those super sects, they remained silent.

This is normal. Taoism was founded by Dayu, and all of its sects were born after the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty.

If they could recognize the ancient cultivators, wouldn't that be telling others that they were from an ancient sect that had disguised themselves as such?

Now Dayu is sharpening his sword and preparing for an expedition to eliminate demons. If someone suspects that they are from an ancient sect, wouldn't that be like giving Dayu a knife to use?

So everyone’s reaction was “Oh my god, there are ancient monks!”

Zhou Yi shook his head and suppressed these thoughts for the time being. "I wonder why Mr. Shen came to my Yuanluo Sect this time? Of course, if you are just a guest, I will naturally welcome you."

Zhou Yi naturally welcomed Shen Ziqing, but he also knew that Shen Ziqing was a smart man and it was impossible for him to travel thousands of miles to Zhuozhou just to enjoy the scenery.

"Brother Zhou, I wonder...what do you think of the Tianxu Tower in Jingzhou?" Shen Ziqing picked up the teacup and shook it gently.

"It's indescribable, and it's definitely not something we can fathom," Zhou Yi sat up straight, his eyes filled with awe.

Before entering the Tianxu Tower in Jingzhou, Zhou Yi had exhausted all his imagination and tried hard to outline the Tianxu Tower built based on the tomb of Emperor Lie. However, after actually entering it, Zhou Yi realized his insignificance.

Compared with Tianxu Tower, a first-class sect like Yuanluo Sect is like a village in the countryside.

And this is just the Tianxu Tower in Zhongzhou.

Zhou Yi didn't dare to imagine what the Tianxu Tower hidden in the great state looked like.

Shen Ziqing held the teacup, his thumb resting on the rim and stroking it gently. "Then Brother Zhou, do you know my position in Tianxu Tower?"

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat. After a moment of hesitation, he cautiously probed, "Mr. Shen has a promising future."

Zhou Yi wanted to compliment Shen Ziqing, but he also knew that excessive complimenting would turn into sarcasm.

Many people in the Taoist community knew that Shen Ziqing came from Tianxu Tower, but the background of Tianxu Tower was unfathomable, and even those in the Fusion Stage could only serve as guests. No matter how versatile Shen Ziqing was, he was only in the Nascent Soul Stage. Even if he was highly regarded by Tianxu Tower, it was impossible for him to hold great power.

"To be honest, Brother Zhou, Tianxu Tower doesn't look at cultivation, only ability. If you don't have enough ability, no matter how high your cultivation is, you won't be valued." Shen Ziqing put down his teacup. "Brother Zhou, you should know the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce."

"Of course I know," Zhou Yi nodded. "Tianxu Tower... didn't want to have anything to do with the sect cultivators, especially after what happened with the Xiangmo Venerable. But Tianxu Tower is a place for business, and everyone who comes is a guest. Furthermore... Tianxu Tower had already been exposed to the Dao Sect. If we continued to avoid them, there would inevitably be some unpleasantness. If Dayu found out, it wouldn't be funny."

Shen Ziqing smiled vaguely, while Zhou Yi smiled awkwardly and avoided Shen Ziqing's sight.

"The Tiexin Chamber of Commerce is the largest in Qianzhou. Any unusual activity could attract Dayu's attention. At that time, I took the risk and proposed letting the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce act as an intermediary in the transaction with the sect. Thanks to the cooperation of everyone in the sect, I wouldn't be in my current position. Thank you, Brother Zhou."

"Mr. Shen, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yi laughed even more awkwardly.

There is only one reason why the first-rate sects stopped testing and chose to go through the middleman, the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce.

Zhong Sanyuan, Feng Ling, Hong Muer and other geniuses from super sects gave Tiexin Chamber of Commerce a lot of things. What does this mean? Isn’t it clear to everyone?
"But, Brother Zhou, you also know that if you are willing to dig, there are capable people everywhere." After thanking him, Shen Ziqing sighed helplessly, "Tianxu Tower is not a monolithic entity. The internal forces are complicated and the competition is extremely fierce. It is only with the help of the monks from various sects that I can barely speak in front of the others."

"How many others?" Zhou Yi sat upright.

This is a good opportunity to learn about Tianxu Tower!

"I'm not in a position to reveal the names, but one of them is related to the tomb of Emperor Lie, but I think you should have guessed it a long time ago," Shen Ziqing laughed.

Zhou Yi's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice, "Master Shen, is the Zhuge family really from Tianxu Tower?"

"The Fierce Emperor's Tomb can't just be operated just because it's said it can."

Zhou Yi took a deep breath, "That is to say, the Fierce Emperor..."

Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, he noticed Shen Ziqing's expression change slightly, and immediately changed the subject, "What about the others?"

"There's another person who's the most favored. If they want to, they can stop what I'm doing at any time." Shen Ziqing shook his head. "These two people are quite prejudiced against the sect. If they hadn't opposed it, how could I be satisfied with a small Iron Heart Chamber of Commerce?"

Although Shen Ziqing was distressed, Zhou Yi heard the hint and his breathing became rapid.

"Mr. Shen, what do you mean?"

"Brother Zhou, I don't plan to beat around the bush. I want to build a Tianxu Tower in Zhuozhou."

Shen Ziqing emphasized the three words "Tianxu Tower", so Zhou Yi reacted immediately.

This Tianxu Tower is probably not the real Tianxu Tower. Considering what Shen Ziqing mentioned before about how he could possibly be satisfied with a small Tiexin Chamber of Commerce, this Tianxu Tower is probably a middleman like the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce.

Consumers know very well how much money Tiexin Chamber of Commerce has made from this middleman.

Compared with the annual income of a first-rate sect, it does not look that good, but the middleman is the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce.

What was the size of the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce? It was just a small state chamber of commerce, without even a single Jindan-stage cultivator. In their eyes, it was no better than a dog that could be kicked to death on the side of the road.

However, such a tiny existence can rely on the identity of a middleman to stand on equal footing with various first-class sects, and can even gain the goodwill of the geniuses of super sects!

The reason why Tiexin Chamber of Commerce earns so much is because he can only earn so much and cannot control all those connections.

But their Yuanluo Sect is a first-class sect!
"Master Shen, this matter...is not something I can decide on my own. I need to contact the elders first."
